-- So, you're saying that guild assignments will bring me at least 200 silver coins a month, right?

— No. The guild assignments we're talking about have nothing to do with taking out a loan, and besides, they are one-time assignments that only appear when there is a need for them.

-- But what if something unforeseen happens and a guild assignment is not completed? Risks need to be taken into account. Also, if I decide to do something else in parallel that won't interfere with my work in the merchant guild? Or is the job supposed to be on a permanent basis, as a clerk, and these questions are irrelevant?

— If the assignment doesn't have strict deadlines, you can complete it at your own pace. In all other cases, the assignment must be prioritized unless you are sure that you can do several things at the same time and successfully complete each one. Failure to complete an assignment will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and if the reason for this is something beyond your control, there will be no penalties. But if you fail to complete it due to incompetence, you may be removed from the list of guild contractors; in the worst case, you may be required to pay a large fine if your actions have damaged the guild's reputation.

- Good day, miss, - greeted the Menasite, looking intently at the girl, and then began to examine the goods. From time to time, he voiced his opinion about certain ingredients, wanting to show himself as a knowledgeable person in alchemy. - You have a good selection, although it is a bit expensive. Do you make and source everything yourself, or do you hire people from outside?

— Myself, — the girl replied briefly, — I would like to make the prices lower, but with such taxes, it will simply be unprofitable for me.

Soon after the group occupied one of the tables in the tavern, one of the waitresses approached them and offered them a menu.

- Maybe it's for the best, and I should take a break from the realities of my old job. Treating village children and other minor ailments.

The sergeant nodded. — Well then, get ready, we're going on patrol.

— Thank you for the compliment, — the warrior closed the book and put it aside. — Recently. And you, I suppose, are one of the representatives of the local elite?

— Oh yes, undoubtedly, — the aristocrat's eyes lit up; it seemed to give him inexplicable pleasure when those around him acknowledged his status, — and although many representatives of my class believe that we should not stoop to communicating with ordinary people, I disagree with this, and you are a good example of why. — The man smiled invitingly. — There are not many good women like you even in high society.
