As soon as I had finally separated from the others— I started asking the locals for directions and headed straight toward the local branch of the Adventurer's Guild.
I immediately walked up to the reception area and showed the staff the official plaque that Joseph had given to me back when I was still in the City of Nash. The receptionist behind the desk quickly recognized the authority it carried and started assisting me with much more attention than before.
I really didn't want to waste any more of my limited time, so without any further ado— THUD!
I placed a heavy leather pouch that was stuffed full of [Black Scales] directly onto the wooden counter.
The receptionist's eyes widened in surprise at the sight, and they quickly called for a professional appraiser to come over. I felt a lot of curious eyes from the other people in the room drilling into my back again, just like that first time when I sold a pouch of [Black Scales] elsewhere.
