Chapter 1105: Settling Down
"Alright, Sir Ylvar. Here is your identification token."
After thoroughly convincing Eivann of his decision to enlist as a mercenary, the two of them eventually headed inside the military base, unsurprisingly catching the attention of some of the people that had gathered near the entrance earlier.
Though, with Eivann's position as a major, it did not take long for those people to disperse as the two of them swiftly made their way to the registration area.
"If possible, it would be great if you don't lose your identification token," said the attendant as he gave an iron token to Valyr. "Not only is it a proof of identity, but it also tracks all of the missions you've completed, as well as the merit points you've earned."
"I'll keep that in mind." Nodding in response, Valyr thanked the attendant in return as he looked at his identification token in detail.
In a way, the identification token acted similarly to the identification badge he had in the Blacksmith Guild in that it kept track of a lot of things related to him.
However, unlike the Blacksmith Guild's badge, the identification token was as simple as it could get, with only the name 'Ylvar' engraved on its coin-like surface as proof that he was the one who owned it.
Admiring it for a bit more, he eventually stowed the token into his spatial bracelet before giving Eivann a nod.
Nodding back in response, the two of them soon left the registration area, only to arrive at the center of the large military base soon after.
Looking around the large roundabout they were in, Valyr eventually looked back at Eivann after seeing the man point back to the registration area.
"If you head there, you'll find a lot of accommodations to stay in while you're not in the middle of the mission," said the man, to which Valyr committed to memory. "There's a lot of inns and restaurants there as well if you want to unwind, even."
"Though, it does cost a couple merit points to get some of the really good stuff there." Eivann shrugged his shoulders, only to then point in front of them.
Smiling as he briefly looked at the new name on his friend list, Valyr stopped Eivann yet again, which surprisingly now made the latter a bit annoyed.
"What is it?" asked the man, briefly taking a deep breath to calm himself. "I really am serious when I say I still have something else to do."
"It won't take up much of your time," said Valyr in response, swiftly apologizing not long after. "I just wanted to upgrade your equipment as a token of my gratitude."
Hearing those words, Eivann's expression immediately turned into that of slight excitement. After all, a well-known blacksmith was upgrading his equipment for what seemed like no charge at all.
Though, before he voiced out his suggestion, another thought popped up in Eivann's mind, causing him to slightly frown at the young man as he asked, "Although I've come to know of you as a good guy, you do know you wouldn't buy my favor with this, right?"
"Didn't even cross my mind," said Valyr in response with a shake of his head, his expression showing the man that he didn't think of it from that perspective at all. "I really just wanted to say thanks for the help."
"Especially after how you treated Edward and Wells while I was away."
"..." At those words, Eivann went silent for a bit, only to send Julian a couple of messages after that because of the young man's words.
Fortunately, with a few back-and-forth messages between them, the man eventually understood what was going on, causing him to let out a faint sigh as he looked back at Valyr
with a faint smile.
"Since you insist, then I won't be shy," said Eivann after some time. "Let's head to the workshops, then."
"Wait a second... I thought you had something else to do?"
"Eh. I could always do that some other time. It's just a bit of paperwork, that's all."
"...Is that really why?"
