When I returned to the Dark Temple, Adrigori came over.
“What shall I do?”
“Change of plans, I’ll bring over the magic items.”
“I don’t mind, but did something happen?”
Adrigori tells me I’m in a bad mood.
“……Nothing big. It’s not like anything happened to me. I just didn’t like something, that’s it.”
“If so……”
Interrupting Adrigori, I answer him.
“That’s why, I’m going to get back at them.”
I put the accessories I made this morning into a bag and come to the Scottyard Kingdom’s capital, Groggo.
I enter one of the big companies.
“Welcome. What business do you have today?”
“I’d like you to buy some accessories. Their magic items.”
When I tell them my business, to have a detailed negotiation, we moved to a different room.
I’m dealing with a manager who seems to be knowledgeable about magic items.
He named himself as Valef.
“What kind of magic items have you brought?”
“All statuses raise by 12%.”
“You joke. The highest class items are 10%. Also, I’ve never even heard of raising all statuses before.”
Thinking I was joking, Valef lightly laughs.
However, his eyes weren’t laughing at all.
He’s evaluating me with his eyes.
I silently take a bracelet out from my bag.
Valef suspiciously puts it on.
“Wha? It really rose by 12%!”
Valef is surprised as if he were struck by lightning, and looks at me.
“How much will you buy it for?”
“How did you get your hands on this?”
Without answering my question, hearing him ask me that, I laugh.
“There’s no way I can tell you how I got my hands on it. But well, I found it in a dungeon. I was lucky, so I was able to find some treasure.”
“Do you think I’d fall for that lie? In ancient times, people didn’t make items like these. This couldn’t have been excavated from a dungeon.”
As expected from a merchant from Scottyard, he didn’t trust my story.
“To believe me or not is up to you.”
“If you tell me the truth, I’ll naturally pay you an information fee. On top of that, it’ll be generous.”
I don’t answer Valef’s question. Sensing it was useless, he changes the question.
“Is mass production possible? Or was this something that was created by accident?”
The best accessories that were made up until now were only 10% up.
Those are things made by endowment magic techniciansenchanters over a course of years.
Thus, the distributed amount is small.
“There’s no way it can be mass produced so easily.”
It was made by chance, so I don’t know whether or not it can be made again.
I wonder if he’ll be caught?
However, I don’t know how I feel about telling a lie that’ll be exposed soon.
I stopped saying what I was thinking.
“If this is one of a kind, I’ll buy it for 500000000 Scottyard pounds.”
The value of things that are one of a kind is in a different dimension.
It must raise the price into the sky.
Conversely, if it’s said that 100 can be made every day, it’s value will fall.
Value is something that changes based on supply and demand.
“However, if more will be produced in the future, then I guess it’ll be 200000 or so.”
“That’s cheap.”
I instantly shake my head.
“It’s only changed by 2% since the previous highest quality. I can’t pay any more than that.”
“There’s a huge difference in value, even if it’s only 1%. It sometimes decides life and death. The people who’d buy this item will go on to fight the Maou in the future. I hoped you wouldn’t howl because of the subtle difference.”
“I understand. I’ll buy it for 500000, but this is the most.”
It’s still much cheaper than the price I expected.
“There are still several dozen shops that would like to buy this item. I’ll think about it after negotiating with them.”
I pretend to stand up and leave.
“I understand. How about 700?”
Valef hurriedly raised the price.
Him being in such a hurry is proof that he thought it could be bought for much more.
“I understand. That’s fine.”
I could have sold it for even more.
However, I don’t have time.
I decided to break here.
“It’ll take a bit of time to prepare this much money. Please wait for a second.”
Valef said that, and left the room.
In this world, there are copper coins, silver coins, gold coins, and white gold coins.
100 copper coins is 1 silver coin, and 100 silver coins is 1 gold coin.
1 silver coin is 10 pounds. 1 gold coin is 1000 pounds.
Underneath pounds are pennies, and 100 pennies is 1 pound.
700000 pounds is 700 gold coins.
Since gold coins by themselves would be unwieldy, they’ll add in white gold coins or possibly settle it with bills.
“Oh, sorry I made you wait.”
It was 300 gold coins and 4 white gold coins.
I received it, and left the store behind me.
Like that, I sold dozens of magic shops magic items that cause a 12% up in all statuses.
Of course, Adrigori and some others helped.
The old man, who started helping in the middle sold one for 500000000.
Jeko let them haggle it down to 100000, so he was fired immediately.
The merchants of Scottyard aren’t likely to grasp at high prices.
Even in the worst case, they never intended give up the advantage.
The worst they think about.
That would be to the extent that there was already many of item made.
In other words, what I did this time.
That’s why, their judgement wasn’t a mistake.
Their purpose as merchants isn’t to lose to others.
I stared at Scottyard’s royal castle, and transferred away.
