Chapter 16
(<strong>TL Note:</strong>I decided to change demon beast to magic beast since Im already using magic stone instead of demon stone)
I received my first request as an adventurer andpleted it the next day. I am in the business district spreading in south of the city fortress Varga, I came to the Marida branchpany in Varga. While returning from yesterdays first request, since I unexpectedly rescued Malta san from a herd of magic beasts, I agreed on selling the corpses of the magic beasts.
Maltas Maridapany faced the Main Street where the city fortress Vargas business district was running through, it was a big building three stories tall. When helping yesterday, traveling without an escort with the carriage, I thought it was a merchant of the peddling center, if this tradingpany building is a branch, it can be expected that the headquarters is arger big tradingpany.
The first floor of the tradingpany is selling armors and tools intended for the adventurers. Rather than a store selling various articles, they deal with high-level armor and items, theres an atmosphere simr to brand-name shops aimed at experienced people.
When I entered inside, a store employee has approached at once with a radiant smile.
Wee. What can I help you with today?
Eeh, is Malta san here? Its about the matter of the sales of raw materials of magic beasts we still have left.
We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you foring. Ill go and call him right away, could you wait in the reception room?
While going towards the reception room the employee gave me some guidance, when asking if this tradingpany was selling magic stones, it seems the Maridapany is a tradingpany that originally started with magic stones trades.
Magic stones were collected and brought back from variousbyrinths, transporting and carrying to ce with theres demand for it. So performing together transportation and sales, to ces with higher demand, selling cheaply, keeping on raising profits, soon it came to deal with goods other than magic stones, thepany had grown up greatly.
Im sorry to have kept you waiting, Schwarz san.
In the reception room the employee guided and left me, I listened to stories of thepany while sipping tea I was served, and Malta entered the room while his plump stomach shook.
No, since I got some delicious tea.
Did it suit your taste? Tea of eastern countries arent easily obtained even in the royal capital. Come now, lets settle the business talk. Though Schwarz san killed five ss Wolf and a Dire ss Wolf, theres few damage on every fur, so it was skinned very neat.
Well, though on the part of the belly there was only a hole in the Dire What kind of weapon, or magic did you use? Though such scars were never seen before.
Though Malta san had a smiling face till then, his eyes, the moment he made an allusion to weapons and magic, were shooting a sharp light. As a merchant he may be thinking of something profitable. However, he wont be able to understand even if I honestly exin it.
Aah, well, that thing, its a secret.
I decided that I couldnt honestly say it, and frankly made it secret.
This is harsh, no, even so I was rude. The secret of an adventurers strength is his biggest asset, I shouldnt have asked such as to easily splurge it, please forget it.
Once again Maltas face was smiling again and gave out the impression of a gentleman. And, from the bag he carried when he entered the room, he began to take out the purchase money.
Lets go and proceed, ss Wolf is three silver coins for one, though I would buy the Dire for 60 silver coins, how about it?
Yes, I have no problem with it. By the way Malta san, I heard that Maridapany is focused on carrying out magic stones trading.
Yes, also mying from the royal capital to Varga, the purpose is for buying magic stones. I heard of a rumor that a fourthbyrinth was discovered. If a newbyrinth is discovered, then the amount of transactions of magic stones will increase more and more in Varga too. Its a disqualification for a merchant if he fails to notice this business opportunity.
Though I havent entered thebyrinth yet, may I ask you the trading price of magic stones as reference?
Yes, I dont mind. If it is Schwarz san, youre likely to greatly y an active part in thebyrinth as soon as you enter it.
And I heard the story of the magic stones from Malta san, it will be of great use as a reference. However, since the story was long enough tost till lunch so I was treated to a feast, it became impossible to go and take a request today.
For magic stones, with the six basic attributes that are fire, water, wind, earth, darkness, and light, thosebined called the four rare attributes that are thunder, ice, wood, space, adding the non attribute there are 11 attributes in total, theres variation with the kind of attribute imprinted due to the magic beasts core. (TL: I used space for (sora) which means sky, the air, heaven)
Furthermore, it bes an energy source that runs the tool bag and the transfer device, as never empty magic stones of space attribute were taken from magic beasts and sub-race, it can only be found inside thebyrinth where it drops, it is said that it cant be acquired.
Thus the actual value of the transaction is, basically many non attribute are harvested because of argely amount supplied, the price isnt that much, it seems also there are dealings by several silver coins for the six basic attributes.
However, as the four rare attributes cant be obtained easily, its even more expensive because it can be acquired only by picking it up as empty magic stone, the price is also ording to the size of the magic stone, theres extensive dealings from tens of silver coin to a gold coin.
Hence, basically the price of magic stones changes easily, at a general guild too that has dealings in the lowest average price, it was strongly rmended to deal directly with a merchant like Malta san. The Maridapany is strong, thats why it was strongly rmended, yet
Back from todays negotiation, I checked at once the price of non attribute magic stone, the sale money earned is of 75 silver coins inside, theres as many as 40 non attribute magic stones bought, I returned to the hotel and I converted everything into CP.
And by the next day I received the request centered on the subjugation system, even though struggling hard hunting in nature with insufficient knowledge, guild points will still be saved little by little.
Within the premises of the general guild, theres also a facility simr to a library called Archives, my one days cycle, receiving early in the morning a request, I will achieve it by the afternoon and return to Varga.
Ill stop by the archives after thepletion report,mon sense in this different world and knowledge on magic beasts sub-races, are likely to turn out as target of collecting request, I gather knowledge of medical herbs and minerals, and I return to the hotel in the evening, I kept living like this.
Well the archives, as one would expect of the information volume it cant be memorized normally, there its not quit a trick, theres the screen capture function in the head goggle, by using it I began to save magic beasts picture books and medical herbs picture books one after another. This capture image, because its possible to look at TSS at any time, it was greatly useful for checking the stuff gathered and the like on spot.
And, after three weeks, I was reporting todays request achievement in the general guild annex. The receptionist is Lesmond san this time too. Although theres many of annex counters, the queue of the mans counter and the waiting time are short, working politely, after all I get in line here every time. Thereupon a beautiful and lovely woman receptionist is nice if it admired from the side.
Thank you, what should I do to take the promotion examination?
Well, theres expectation for further activity of Schwarz sama.
With this after passing the examination I can enter thebyrinth! I can see approaching my way of life from now on. I renewed my thanks, and went toward the adventurer registration counter.
