A few hours later and having one sword left to finish the daily quote I can hear someone saying my name, it's the cook, she doesn't look happy, while it doesn't surprise me, I was thinking on how good it would be if she didn't have any trouble dealing with the elf girl, who by the way is a little steps behind looking at me with sad eyes, I can get an idea of what happened.

“This girl doesn't know how to cook, doesn't understand what I'm saying, I have ruined some breads trying to teach her, making bread is not that difficult so I thought it would be fine, but she doesn't know how to knead or use an oven, I don't know how she got to this age not knowing this things” - This is troublesome, no doubt, it's not just the language, this girl doesnt know what she's doing, what she has to do, right now I just have to manage this as best as I can

“The cook says you have no idea of how to cook, I'm sorry I pressured you in trying to learn something from cero, I'll try to fix things with her, just try to relax, we can still handle this, but tell me so I can get an idea, what did you do before coming here? I want to know in what kind of stuff you perform better” - She seems pretty agitated but she's doing a good job on keeping his composure, I can't blame her if she thought we were going to kick her out of town, her head must be a mess right now, I'll give her some space to breath.

“Well...before I came here, I was with the rest of the elves, I used to practice my archery and hunt down beasts that caused havoc in the forest...but...I never hunted alone, we were always hunting strong beast so we always had to be hunting in groups, so when...now that I'm by myself I've done my best to avoid fighting, after all, even if I hunt down something I don't know how to cook it” - A hunter, having someone that can bring meat to the table might be pretty good, but back to the important question, having a starving body, can she actually go to the forest to hunt? damn, why does this has to be so complicated, whatever, I guess I'll throw a coin in the air with this woman, but first lets ask the smith what kind of creatures can be found in the outskirts.

“Creatures? Why? Ah forget it...let's see...in the mine you will find bats and goblins, if you go towards the dessert you came from its rare but you can find stone scorpions, harehorns and some snakes” - Really? oh god, sounds like I could've died before reaching the town, maybe I was lucky because my adventure was just getting started, I got saved by the plot.

“When it comes to the forest, on that side you can pretty much find anything; goblins, small groups of orcs, snakes, a lot of insects, some boars and packs of wolves, there's more stuff but that's the first things that come to mind” - I'm not sure what merit there is in hunting goblins and orcs, but from the list Im the most interested in wolves and boars, I still have the favor the smith gave me in exchange for more swords.

“Hey smith, I think I now how to make more swords, and this girl here will help us, but right now I need to make some questions to you and the cook, please just answer quick and simple, I will give you context in a moment” - Aside form the cook, who seems rather confused, the smith agrees without thinking, I guess up to a certain point he's got used to my weirdness, that's good, thanks to his thoughtless agreement the cook also agrees.

“Very well, the day is almost over so we will have to do everything tomorrow, but it will be best to confirm right now, first of all, smith, when will the mayor take the sword to sell them and when will he come back”

“In two more days, he will take around a day and a half”

“Understood, cook, since you're making bread, and correct me if I'm wrong, but you should have some salt stored in your kitchen”

“Yeah, I have salt”

“Perfect, I might need all of it, I want you to keep as much as possible, and smith, I need a favor, I need you to help me make a spear, but first of all I want to know if we can make a spear”

“Yes, we have everything”

“That's enough, 12 seconds, not bad, now I have to ask the elf girl and we should be good to go tomorrow morning”

“Ok, this is what we´ll do, I want you to bring me a catch from the forest, I will pay you 100 gol for a wolf and 200 gol for a boar, this is just to start, if everything goes well I can pay you more for every chatched prey, right now we are just testing, I will trust you can make this work” - The elf girl nods pretty confident, looks like we have a deal, that's a relief.

“Looks like everything is in order, smith, I need you to help me make the spear, we will give it to the elf girl, It sounds pretty crazy, and believe me, I know it does, but that spear might be and I trust it will be the best paid inversion you could make, obviously, if something goes wrong I will take full responsibility of that failure”

“I doubt you can actually take responsibility if you barely manage to earn enough to eat, but it's pretty obvious something interesting came to your mind, and if a merchant knows something is how to make more money, right?” - A perfect answer, I didn't expect to make such a big bet for someone I don't know, but I guess risky bets must be done if I want to get out of this dreadful lifestyle that I currently have
