Episode 452 Celia’s ve Trader, Justice’s ve Trader (8)


    ‘Looks like he has a lot of money?’


    Even a fairly good trader would find it difficult to cover six thousand gold coins.


    No, a merchant who is good at business, no matter how much he wants to have, is thew to reduce useless spending.


    Rather, it is the nobles who are good at overspending.


    “Then let’s begin the final collection.”


    The collectors move along with the words of the moderator.


    Their faces were stiff as if they were also nervous at the round of big money going back and forth.


    If the host had given them time to think, the majority might have given up and backed off.


    However, without even having time to organize their thoughts, thest harp began right away, so they hanged the elves as if they had lost their sense.


    Parchments with unimaginable sums written on theme and go to collectors.


    Right away, the elf was supposed to be someone’s ve, but she never showed any signs of fear at the sight of it all.


    Rather, he stood proudly on the podium with his shoulders straight and looked down at them.


    “Ugly bastards.”


    Its appearance was reflected like a lofty crane in a flock of chickens.


    Laughing at her resemnce to Aira, Ray wrote a number on the parchment.


    The collector went around the table, picked up the parchment, and brought it to the moderator.


    The presenter, who had not shown any change in expression, opened a piece of parchment and opened his mouth.


    “I will announce the bar. One hundred and twenty tinum coins.”


    tinum.


    It is, in a way, something that has more value than money.


    tinum coins issued in the Lessian Empire do not produce more than a certain number.


    In addition, as guaranteed by the empire, it was a proof of trust recognized by everyone on the continent.


    That’s one hundred and twenty.


    It was the number of tinum coins I had never seen in my life.


    The surroundings became noisy.


    “It was sold for one hundred and twenty tinum coins. The first owner of the elf will be the one sitting in seat 9.”


    Everyone’s eyes gathered.


    I wanted to see a little bit of the face of the one who uses tinum coins, not even gold coins.


    But his face was hidden by the robe.


    Ray got up from his seat.


    “Please wait a moment. I will re-engrave the ve’s mark.”


    “I do not need.”


    “Hmm… then I understand. But the owner must change. The current owner belongs to our auction…”


    The moderator brought the elf woman along with the horse.


    A woman with eyes filled with contempt gently closed her eyes.


    She didn’t say anything or even look at her, but I could guess what she was thinking.


    Ray handed over one hundred and twenty tinum coins made up of slips.


    The host who received it said in a trembling voice.


    “Thank you for the deal.”


    When the auction waspletely over, Ray half-forced her outside.


    When I got a little farther away from the auction house, I saw a carriage.


    It was probably because the carriage was farther away so as not to arouse suspicion.


    Sensing Ray’s presence, Soonbok and Mien secretly opened the carriage door and nced sideways.


    Within a second, his eyes widened when he saw the elf next to him.


    – Brother, what kind of elf are you talking about all of a sudden? Wasn’t it to enve the ve trader? No matter how beautiful an elf is, what if you suddenly buy it?


    Does that mean he only sees his master that much?


    On the other hand, the elf, who hadn’t said anything until now, looked a bit surprised when he saw Subok.


    For some reason, I feel a sense of familiarity.


    She may not know it, but spirits and nature have a very close rtionship.


    Elves are naturally friendly with nature.


    We try to understand nature, respect it as a life, and do not try to harm it.


    Spirits are also part of nature.


    That means elves can be said to be friendly with the spirits as well.


    Of course, I’ve never seen one before, though.


    Ray ignored the submission and turned to the elf woman.


    The ve crest on the shoulder stands out.


    Even if it was only released like this, it was difficult to see it as apletely free body.


    Ray carefully put his hand on the woman’s shoulder.


    “Don’t touch it carelessly.”


    The expected reaction came out.


    Watching the woman step back with a wary expression, I thought I should reassure her first.


    “don’t worry. I’m not as sinister as you think.”


    Subok nodded.


    – He moves slyly and has sly thoughts, but he’s not a sly person.


    Ray seriously contemted whether to kill Soonbok halfway.


    It seems good to bury Sunbok at this point and sign a contract with Hesilia.


    The elf woman’s vignce grew a little thicker.


    “Your words weren’t lies…but the man’s words weren’t lies either.”


    Could it be that the third eye, exclusive to elves, was able to detect lies?


    It’s good that it turns out that it’s not a lie, but in the end, it’s like being branded as a sneaky person.


    Ray had no choice but to harden her body.


    “Hold.”


    A single starter word restrained the whole body, and the elf was now beyond vignce and harbored hostility.


    For some reason, I always feel suspicious every time I try to do something good.


    Ray sighed at his plight and drew out the mana deeply embedded in the elf’s shoulder.


    Whoop-!


    With a short resonant sound, the flimsy magic circle lost its axis and vanished powerlessly.


    It’s not enough to pour mana in an instant, so I find an axis and destroy it.


    Everything flowed neatly, so the elf forgot to be wary for a moment and admired it.


    There is no redundancy in the operation of magic.


    “Cancel.”


    The elf, who had regainedplete freedom after removing the magic from her, touched her shoulder.


    Shed mana and pressed it, but the ve crest was nowhere to be seen.


    Ray took off the robe he was wearing and covered it to the elf.


    The white hair that was covered by the robe came down softly.


    “Cover your ears first. If you head west from the capital, you’lle across arge vige. If you pass through the nearby forest, you wille to an elven vige called Grandel’s Forest. It’s a well-fortified ce. If you tell me how I look, I’ll let you in.”


    “…Grandel’s Forest?”


    It seems you’ve heard of it.


    It just went well.


    It’s less worrying about getting lost.


    The elf’s vignce faded a little.


    “Why did you save me?”


    Ray tilted his head.


    Does it even need a reason to save you?


    He has no intention of passing the ves.


    Even if it wasn’t so, I remembered the physique of those who handled the ves during the auction.


    After sending the elves, I nned to track them down and catch them one by one.


    Ray answered something.


    “Because very is illegal here.”


    I can’t believe it, but the eyes of truth don’t react.


    it sounds sincere


    ‘What a strange person…’


    I felt somewhat relieved when I smelled the faint scent of an elf.


    Ray handed the elf a leather pouch he had taken from his bosom.


    “There may be times when you need money. I have it just in case.”


    “Thank you.”


    The elf woman who epted it silently stared at Ray.


    When I first smelled the elven scent, I thought it was a ve trader only targeting the elven vige.


    After that, when I saw the appearance, I mistook for a moment that they were the same people.


    As well as a man with an unusual physique and a woman with a somewhat warm energy.


    Up to two dubious coachmen.


    What is their true identity?


    “What are you all about?”


    When she asked, the group’s eyes turned to Ray.


    This time, when Ray looked at Soonbok, he thought for a long time about whether Soonbok did not fit his size, then put his index finger to his mouth and answered.


    – …ve of justice?


    “The naming is so amazing.”


    Minen was amazed.


    Moros has a somewhat moved face.


    the elf woman chanted.


    “The ve of Justice? It’s the first time I’ve heard of such a ve dealer…”


    “Do you know about a ve dealer?”


    “I don’t know why. The vige I was in was a vige that had been used to fight ve traders for generations.”


    Resist the vers.


    Well, it’s a story that could have been enough for an elf.


    If it was a vige without high elf protection, they would have to get used to fighting.


    Her expression darkened for a moment.


    “If a battle is lost, the entire vige is turned into very and sold. Since we have no information, we have to fight without knowing who the ve traders are or where they came from. Fortunately, the vige will still be safe… but now that I have be like this, I have to protect the vige, so it’s only a matter of time before the ve traderse in.”


    ‘I have to hurry back…’ I clicked my tongue as I saw her muttering.


    It’s not easy no matter where you live.


    It is the same even for elves who abandon the world and practice their swords in the forest.


    It was unheard of that ve traders were targeting elven viges on arge scale, but they were probably doing it after thorough preparation.


    If you get caught by the wrong lord, you will be blown away.


    Ray kicked the ve trader who had turned into a coachman.


    “Do you know anything?”


    The ve trader who was pointed out was about to frown, but when he saw the obedience, he quickly turned into a mild sheep.


    When asked what his area of expertise was, the ve trader spoke excitedly.


    “A ve trader targeting the elven vige… I don’t know. Are there really people who do crazy things like that? It takes a lot of manpower just to attack once, and you have to spend a lot of money to appease the lord. I don’t know if I can kidnap an entire elven vige. Besides, if the elf auction were discovered, it would be a public offense for the elves and might be assassinated, so who would want to do it?”


    Hagisa That’s also the case.


    The risk is too great for the benefit to be gained.


    There was no way that ve traders who pursued profit would try to hunt elves that were not certain.


    The elf woman, thinking that she doubted her, screamed.


    “We are always fighting!”


    “ah! who said what I just said that it makes no sense for a ve trader to target an elven vige!”


    While the two were bickering, people began toe out of the auction house one by one.


    Even though they didn’t take off their masks, it was quite predictable that they were nobles or merchants.


    That’s also true, because when you look at the carriage, it’s decorated with luxurious ornaments and jewels.


    Ray looked at them carefully.
