An Offer from the Xian Merchant Guild

So you wish to know why I push around Bobby Lauren? What a stupid question. Let me ask you a question. There are those who provide loans based on a mutual trust that the loan will be paid back and there are those who take such loans and refuse to pay! Who is the one at fault here? Isn't it clear as day? Why do you think the League of Merchants in Heidel went on strike? It was all due to the incompetence of Bobby Lauren and the Grand Chamberlain, Jordine. I don't know what Jordine is up to. However, I do know that the villagers are having a hard time, because of high taxes. Yet Bobby and Jordine somehow managed to turn the blame on us! And to talk of prosperity in Serendia? What a bunch of liars... Come to think of it, you're an Adventurer aren't you? Have you considered working for the Xian Merchant Guild? We have many matters in need of being taken care of and hiring mercenaries in public will attract unwanted attention. ...I've also developed a certain liking for you and your subtle ways. If you want to help me, talk to Povios. I'm actually getting sick of staying at this Inn now.

Povios will guide you.

I already heard about it. You're just a messenger running an errand. I am Povios, Isobelle's right-hand man.
