Overlord and the Seraphim

『Wrath Of Wraiths』

 Jack's arms swayed loosely at his sides as he walked along the stone streets of the Fortress City of E-Rantel. His eyes were on all of those around him. Being without the helmet felt a bit weird, especially since he had worn it ever since he had first walked outside. Now, he could free feel the wind in his hair, brush against his nose and his cheeks. His eyes were partially closed as he felt the sun trickling through his lashes.

Brita whom was walking beside him as his escort and guide, lead Jack to the Merchant Guild building.

When they came inside, it was clear that this place was even more extravagant than the Mage Guild and the Adventurer's Guild combined. They were the bankers of the Kingdom, the people who minted and issued the latest coins. Of course they'd have the funding of the government, that was clear from the start! Merchants make the money go round.

So as he made his way in through the front doors with Brita continuing to walk a pace or two in front of him now. He watched as her red hair bobbed up and down with each step she took.

For a moment he was distracted, until he heard the sound of someone clearing their throat. His eyes darted over towards a Guard who was looking over him, curious.

Jack simply shrugged this off however and moved a bit faster to walk beside Brita.

"So this place is the Merchant's Guild... It's pretty big," He chuckled a little as he scratched his chin with the back of his index finger. It was awkward, but he was definitely trying to make conversation.

"You're not wrong," Brita said as she tucked her thumbs into her pockets as she continued to walk. This place was safe, guarded. It was a place of money after all.

Jack and Brita came up to the front desk. A person who was writing with a quill on a piece of parchment, glanced up towards them as they arrived, since they were blocking some of their light.

"How can I help you?" The person was a young man, dressed in a lavish attire with purple and gold. It was clear they were wealthy, probably one of the merchant's sons or a genius in economics.

"This is Jack Graham," She'd gesture towards the man standing beside her.

Jack bowed his head slightly without moving the rest of his body, acknowledging the introduction. He'd take out the letter which Theo had prepared for him and placed it on the desktop. "I'm here in search of possible residence in the Noble Quarter," he'd say with a light smile across his lips.

The young man just looked over the man with the heroic facial features, noting the blue eyes and wavy brown hair. "Of course..." He said before taking the parchment, unsealing it and looking it over. A grin formed over his lips, "Now, lets see what we can do for you!"

The duo would watch as the man took out a leather bound book and dropped it onto the desk, before standing up.

Jack's eyes traced over the cover of the leather bound book. It was a book that contained both vacant and occupied homes.

As the man picked the book back up and tucked it against his chest with one arm, he waved to another man who would come over to the desk to take his place.

"Lets head out and check some of the homes that are good for you, yes?" The young man said, not bothering to introduce himself by name. Before he'd leave the desk, he collected a few blank forms.

Jack didn't really care to know his name, not that it really meant anything. He wasn't going to make it a habit of visiting the merchants Guild, let alone buying houses. He only wanted one and he was sure he could purchase just about anyone of them he wanted.
