I thought about that carefully. I’d expected I’d have to make an oath if I wanted to continue to do business with him, but the 5% interest rate he was now demanding because of the regent’s interference would cut into the farm’s already small profits. However, I didn’t have another option. It was either take the deal or lose the loan. And losing the loan would be worse than losing the profits. For our new plan to work, we needed to grow the farm and the village, and Poler had told me months ago that the demand for farmer experience in the kingdom was only ever between 40,000 and 80,000 crowns. Once that amount was met, it would take years for more to be required.
Despite the farmer experience being worth hundreds of thousands of crowns, there was no local demand to turn it into money. And the cost of taking it outside the kingdom was not something I was currently comfortable bearing.
“I agree to your proposal. I have an oath binder I’ve hired in the next village which should speed up the process for me divulging what you want to know.”
“Why the rush?”
“In a couple of weeks, I plan to be heading down south to find my new workers.”
He stared at me, confused. “But the giant, the call to abandon the village, is still in effect.”
I grinned. “Oh, that’s taken care of.”
I picked up the top of the stack of papers and flicked through, looking for the one I had written on. I checked to make sure it was the right one; there were several drafts I didn’t want people to see.
Farmer Arnold has a giant stuck in his well and is looking for ideas on how to kill it. If anyone can give him the method and means, they can keep half of the farmer experience he receives.
I passed it over to him. “Everyone keeps telling me that it sounds too cheesy for a quest, but I like it. It’s very me.”
