Also, I'm setting a quota for at least 5 Arena players.

Half of our squad are already mentally aligned with the Dungeon faction.

Hire someone already.

Well, if sacrificing 4 coins compensates, then I'll accept. But we'll have to wait for Neyru and her post again.

Come on, at least give us 3, okay?

Perhaps at a later stage. I still need to spend gold on construction and paying taxes (considering the additional 25 for Sikfara), in addition to general expenses and paying all members of the squad.

Jert caught Aldric's ambiguous gaze, which seemed to say, "You brought her here, so you pay." At the very least, it became clear that he would have to cover most of the required amount himself, or send the unemployed girl to suffer alone. "You're thinking along the right lines, but your approach is a little off," Jert said, trying to maintain a friendly tone while still being persuasive. "You understand that you've lost your job. That means you now have problems with housing and food. Either you'll have to wander around looking for odd jobs and risk being cheated, or you can join our organization, where you'll have food and shelter. Plus, a significant portion of our funding is currently going towards our development. After all, the 'Iron Hearts' are not just some gang. We are actively developing in various areas. Soon, if you decide to join us, you will have access to a good forge, your own tavern where you can drink with cultured people, not just bandits and vagrants, and your own hunting grounds where you can hone and improve your skills to the point where you can defeat any average Visterian. In any case, right now you have the status of a defeated warrior. By working with us, you will gain the status of a respectable mercenary. And soon, if you continue to improve yourself, you will earn a decent amount of money. But for now, you should settle for 3 gold coins a month."

— Hmm... Find me when your organization develops into having "various infrastructures," then I'll consider it. For now, we'll have to go our separate ways.

- Well, perhaps I was a bit too generous with the three coins,” the merchant stopped Sikfar. “My final offer is four gold coins. This way, I express my willingness to share my earnings with you. After all, I won’t be left without food or shelter. I don’t want to abandon a good person from Yarlee in need. And ultimately, you’ll certainly be earning more than the Visternian who left you without a job. Wouldn’t that be a small boost to your ego?

— I have a different idea. I agree to a basic rate of three gold coins per month, but with one small caveat. Who in your organization manages the financial operations?

So, is she planning to become an economist? What do you guys think?

Aldric was about to tell Jert to stop embarrassing himself and the squad. At that moment, the mercenary sounded more like a petty crook trying to convince someone to invest in one of his scams than a seasoned warrior.
However, his persuasions seemed to have yielded some results.
— Currently, I am in charge of financial operations.

Don't fall for it, guys, she'll empty the entire treasury. A decent person won't haggle over salary and won't be interested in the treasury.

He's handling it fine; if you don't like it, assign it to Arandor next time.

— I have some experience in business and trade, and therefore I propose myself for this position. In that case, in addition to the three gold coins, I will also receive everything I can earn by making purchases of goods and services for the squad during our joint travels. That way, you won't lose anything, and I will still come out ahead.

Am I understanding correctly that she's suggesting using the merchant perk and taking all the profits for herself? She's not trying to benefit the treasury?
