Chapter-30<Lunch Invitation-1>

The next morning Fabian woke up. He cleaned himself and brought a long robe. The previous day when he was wandering around the town he sensed that his sabers were getting too much attention. And he didn't like that. So he brought a robe for himself. That black color robed covered his whole body. Even though he had stacked the sabers in his ring, he still bought the robe anyway.

And after he had brought the robe, Fabian walked towards the mercenary guild. He wanted to see whether he could get a mercenary license so that he could get a license to kill someone. This way he would be able to secure some meals for him without grabbing too much suspicion.

When Fabian went to the mercenary guild, he saw that the guild was more of a tavern. As one would enter there were many tables around the premise of the building. On those tables, men and women were either having drinks or were eating food.

Some people looked like that they could hunt a bear. They were so bulky that Fabian was intimidated by them to some sort. But then he wanted to keep a low profile. So with his head down, he started making his way towards the reception desk of the guild.

On the reception desk, there was a middle-aged woman sitting and were working on some papers. But act respectful, Fabian walked up to the table of the woman and coughed..

"*Ahem Ahem*" Fabian coughed. The middle-aged lady looked up and saw Fabian was standing in front of her.

"What can I help you with?" the lady asked then she started looking at her papers again.

"I wanted to become a mercenary. What is the procedure for that?" Fabian asked politely.

"If you want to become a mercenary then come back with your mother. If she can testify that her little boy can become a mercenary then we would be happy to make you a mercenary." The middle-aged lady spoke while looking at papers.

"Pardon?" Fabian said while being respectful.

"Pardon?... Get the fuck out of my face boy! Do you think I have time for your bullshit early in the morning? I am busy right now, can't you see that? Get the hell out of here you mummy-looking bitch!" the middle-aged lady started screaming. As she started screaming it gathered the attention of everyone in the guild.

"I am sorry madam. I didn't know that you were busy. Can you please point towards the direction where I can get personnel of the guild which is not busy?" Fabian said with same level of repect as before.

"Boy, do you think becoming a mercenary is easy? Have even gutted a chicken in you life?" the middle-aged woman said while mocking Fabian.

But while this was happening a well-dressed man walked up to the counter. He looked like a man in his thirties and had a lean build. He was wearing a formal suit and looked look quite handsome. This man was wearing a monocle and had brown hair. With his fair skin, he looked like a young lord of some powerful family.

"Now now Gabby... Don't be so rude to the newcomer. He is a man with great power. The lord of the city guards would vouch for him. Just start doing his paperwork." The young lord said to the middle-aged woman. Fabian then looked at the young lord and felt threatened.

He had never seen or met this guy. So why did he help him? Fabian knew that there was free dinner in this world. So why would this man help him…

"You must be Fabian if I am not wrong." The young master said.

"Yes. And you are?" Fabian asked.

"Oh… Where are my manners? My name is Davian Gergoly." The young master said.

"It is a pleasure to meet you Mr. Gergoly. Thank you for your help." Fabian said.

"Ah.. Don't mention it. And after all, this is my selfish way of helping you." Davian said.

"What did I do to deserve this help?" Fabian asked.

"You saved that little girl yesterday. She and I may not be blood-related but she is the granddaughter of a beloved friend. That is why I helped you today." Davian said.

"Oh… Thanks for your help." Fabian said.

Then Fabian and Davian shared a few small talks. Then after a few minutes the woman named Gabby return with the papers. According to her, it would take a few days for his card to be made. Then after that Fabian would officially become a mercenary. After doing every formality, Fabian returned back to his small inn.

As he return back Fabian didn't know what else to do that day. So he started going around the city. He had some money right now, he was thinking that he should rent a place somewhere. He didn't want to sleep in the dirty inn.

According to Fabian, he had enough money from which he could buy a house in the city. But he didn't do so. When Davian came to meet him in the guild he understood that somehow by saving that kid he had gathered the eyes of some powerful and influential people of the city. So he didn't want to grab more of their attention by buying a house.

After searching for some time, Fabian was able to find a room in the outer city. That room cost like 40 bronze coins a month. But the room included meals and had a bathroom attached to it. Seeing all of this Fabian didn't haggle and rented that place…
