As soon as he was formally inducted, Davis changed his visible title.
{Davis} Chief Appraiser of the Darklight Host Drodh Branch
{Darklight Host}
That was a pretty cool option.
The others had accepted his invitation and changed their titles as well, and now Karl could see that all of their names had a faint gold outline, marking them as Guild Members, though none of them showed a secondary title with their names, only {Darklight Host} as a guild tag.
No, there was one who had rejected the application. Caretaker Jo did not join. Her name looked the same as always, and when Karl gave her a curious look, she just shook her head. It seemed she was happy as an employee of the house. Then, it occurred to Karl that there were actual drawbacks to being a Guild Member. He was a War Champion, but how had he gotten that title? During a Guild on Guild war for control of a city. The membership would also paint a target on their backs if the Guild Members were out and about in the city, where someone might have a grudge against them as a group.
They also didn't currently have an Overlord Rank leader, as most powerful groups in Drodh City would. There were hundreds, or possibly over a thousand, Overlords in the city. With Karl only being a Monarch, they were the most minor of minor powers in the city.
But with a whole house full of valuables.
They did have the advantage of being right next to a guard station, but that didn't mean much if the guards didn't intervene in Guild Battles.
In Bunga, the guards had sheltered in place, protecting civilians while the battle raged.
The city of Drodh appeared to be mostly stable, as far as Karl could tell. There were some issues between the various factions, but no wide scale battles between them, thanks to the presence of the Governor and his forces.
Karl was thinking about the repercussions of his actions when a soft chime sounded, notifying them that someone had entered the yard.
A pair of elderly Demons, both Overlords with powerful builds, and near three metres tall, came down the stone path and through the open front doors of the shop.
"Oh, now this is interesting. It appears that the sign wasn't overstating their inventory." One of the old men chuckled.
Davis smiled and made a welcoming gesture.
Davis nodded, and took out one of the more interesting items Karl had made.
It was similar in function, but it had an inscription for mana regeneration, skill activation speed and skill damage instead. It was a purely combat oriented piece of Jewellery, and the mage simply stared at it for a full minute without speaking.
"These were all created by the same person. Carved by one, imbued with power by another. That means you should know who the creator is, right?" The shrewd Demon asked Davis.
"That is confidential, Sir. But if you would like to place a custom order, we should be able to obtain it within a month's time, if the crafter is able to fill your request." The Appraiser agreed.
The demon shook his head. "No, this should be more than sufficient. I will give you five thousand gold for all five pieces."
Davis winced as if the offer caused him actual pain. "Sir, that is very near our wholesale price. Perhaps a little leeway could be found?"
The Demon sighed, then reluctantly nodded. "And two hundred for the house commission."
Davis smiled and shook the man's hand, then took the five pieces of Jade jewellery out of the case.
"Thank you very much for your patronage."
The demon beamed in pride, while his more miserly partner frowned at him.
"A little hesitation, and he just snaps up everything in the shop." The demon grumbled, then paused when Davis put another ring and bracelet pair in the display case, identical to the last one.
"There were more?"
Davis nodded. "Yes, Sir. They simply didn't fit in the display."
More like he didn't want to crowd the display and give an appearance of abundance, which would drive down the price.
"I will take the pair." He insisted, then placed a bag of coins on the counter.
"Thank you for your patronage. Should you have any custom orders, please do return."
