Several days had passed.
I had not returned to the cave; instead, I chose to stay within the city.
During that time, I discovered several things that made blending in far smoother.
But the real problem was communicating with other Lords.
Of course, it was possible—but never without exposing one's inner aura, and that was the issue.
Under no circumstances could I allow my cover to be broken.
For now, I was a Second-Rank Lord under the name Echo.
Three days still remained before registration for the Fate Matches.
I did not yet know what kind of prizes awaited there, but at the very least, I could treat it as training—or as an opportunity to gain useful rewards.
That gave me enough time to visit the Adventurers' Guild and learn what went on there, and what sort of missions they handled.
But before that—
I needed to establish a stable trade.
Something that would generate money.
And at present, nothing was better than buying and selling weapons.
