Master Of None

Chapter 392: 392. Future Advertising

”I might have an idea for you.” Walker and Su had the same look of understanding projected on their faces.

”The elf city should have plenty of visitors soon and they are not elves. They wonʼt have the same skills to keep them on the branches or hopping the vines as an elf would.” Su started off the thought and let Walker finish it.

”So if you make these and sell them to the visitors they could be protected if they fall from the trees. Especially if you sell them to royalty and ambassadors that come visit, it could make your shop the most respected rune shop in the city because you care for the safety of every visitor.”

The rune smithʼs eyes were wide. He had not thought of how valuable this would be for any visitors in the city because he had not thought they would ever have proper visitors. ”They are only one use too, the mana that the runes generate is too powerful and makes them shatter, but it saves a life. I need to make more then.”

The rune smith started to shuffle around the materials and looked for everything he needed. Walker and Su were happy to be sharing this with him since he had been very informative and helpful when they asked questions.

”How many people are coming from your kingdom? How long? Do you think making fifty would be enough?” The rune smith had found the spark to craft and wanted to make as many as possible.

”That will be a hard question to answer. The king might bring a few officials and guards with him. The guild master is coming, then there are the demi-humans who will be coming but they might have wings or a flying skill but they also might not.” Walker rambled on and was about to try and give an estimate when the rune smith spoke up again.

”Who am I to just make fifty. I am a high class rune smith. I can make a hundred in a day. What if someone falls multiple times? They will need one or five or even ten if they are clumsy. I will just craft until I canʼt craft anymore.” He was full of energy and had pulled more materials out that Walker and Su thought possible from underneath the work bench.

”Sir, can we request a small bundle of them? We can give them as a welcome to our kingdom members when they arrive. We of course will mention you and give out opinions. It would help them understand the importance of the charm so you donʼt need to explain it.” Su was trying to help but also knew that these were not something someone would go looking for without already knowing about them.

”Advertising, how many years since I advertised anything? Yes of course, please I will make you twenty to take with you.

Then I will head over to get a sign made and sell them in bundles of five, ten, and twenty.” The rune smith was seeing possibilities that he had never used due to the fact that anything he made was considered a common place item for elves, but with visitors coming there was an entirely new horizon for him to pursue.

”Well then we can place an order and leave you to it.” Walker was all smiles because he knew that he had managed to find two dependable elves that made some unique items in a short time. He also had given them ideas on how their shops could change and evolve with the city opening up.

”Yes yes, the order will be ready tomorrow. I will get my son over here to help too. Just come back anytime, and donʼt worry about paying for anything, I need you to promise your word as a hero that my product is a safety measure fit for a king.” This was a sly move, but a fair one. Walker and Su had already said they would advertise and help out when they purchased the items.

But now he wanted to lock the deal in and make sure that they were willing to do so by making them feel slightly indebted.

”Then we both swear. We would have without you asking us to through. We really believe that this will put many of the other races that visit at ease when they go up in to the trees.” Si was polite as ever but Walker could see the joy on her face at being given these things for free.

Walker and Su were able to sneak out of the shop while the rune smith was running from place to place. He had continued to ask them the same questions out of his excitement and they needed to be on their way. ”When we come tomorrow I have a feeling there will be a lot of changes.” Walker could already see the signs adorning the front of the shop in his mind.

”He was very excited. I am glad we are able to let him know that he would be able to sell something he thought was a failure. I noticed many things being sold that are common here but will be rare and useful treasures back home.” This had been prevalent to Su since she set foot in the market.

”I agree. I havenʼt told you about the water spikes I found yet, but they can channel water elemental mana in to the ground making the soil hold water. It will change the way farming is done for us and I can bet for Ordist as well.” Su appeared surprised but quickly overcame the feeling.

”I just canʼt believe how many amazing things we have seen here. It really is a tragedy that the elf city has been locked up for so long.” Su said this and Walker had no intention of arguing it. This was the plain truth.
