Chapter 112 – Chapter 112 Economic Crisis
Similar to the Magic Tower, there was also an adventurer’s guild next to the city where the dungeon was located.
And in the capital of the Palmo Empire, there was an adventurer’s guild.
The head of the capital’s guild was a hunter named Cedric Dick.
He climbed up through personal connections and saw the youngest son of the Wolf family.
And the youngest son, known as a prostitute, was very different from the rumors.
I heard that it was an intermediate thief, but the atmosphere was above that of an advanced thief.
‘A tiger gave birth to a tiger.’
Cedric bowed his head in greeting.
“Hello. My name is Cedric Dick, who is in charge of the capital’s adventurer’s guild.”
“I have heard many stories. This is Jason Wolf.”
Jason was also an adventurer in his own right.
Although he wasn’t exploring dungeons through the Adventurer’s Guild, he was thinking that he would meet the Adventurer’s Guild someday.
“I heard that even at a young age, he has excellent business skills at a high level. He certainly knows why after meeting him in person.”
Jason is also a human being, so when he meets someone who treats him like this, he feels good.
He was also vigilant at the same time.
When things were going well, there were many people asking for help here and there.
But among them, only about 1 in 100 returned the favor.
There were a lot of people like that when I was a gangster in Korea, so I should be more careful now.
Jason’s Villa. Drawing room. We sat facing each other and talked about business slowly.
“By the way, it’s a bit scary to think that the person who manages all the adventurer guilds in the capital is looking for an intermediate thief.”
“You have plenty of room for that. Don’t you have a strong heart that enjoys situations like this?”
Cedric only looked at Jason’s appearance and did not treat him like a child.
Then Jason also treated Cedric well.
On the outside, the two were friendly, but on the inside, tension was rising.
Jason thought again about what Cedric had come to ask for.
He had also heard about the market price of magic consumables in the Palmo Empire.
It is true that love gels and hand pushes were making money in the mage tower under him, but there were opinions that it would be better to re-produce and sell magic consumables at this opportunity.
In addition, Jason was also responsible for the current market price of magic consumables.
The 7 mage towers that were supposed to produce magic consumables were producing love gels and hand pushes.
Considering the entire empire, the impact was not small.
“Did you come to talk about magic consumables?”
“You knew that too. These days, all the adventurers in the capital are having a hard time, so it’s a mess. Even if you enter the dungeon and come out and receive the request money and sell various magic materials, there is nothing left if you buy a healing potion again. But all the magic towers just raise the price. Wizards are adventurers too. There is no partnership spirit.”
Certainly, it seemed that the head of the adventurer’s guild wasn’t just strong.
The skill of gently peeling the ground rice was quite good.
“As long as it is a colleague. Isn’t the market price always fluctuating? After a good harvest, the price of wheat falls. When there is a bad harvest, the price of wheat rises. Is there any reason why it would change just because magic was added?”
“By and large, they are all colleagues. Isn’t Jason also an adventurer who works in the capital city? Please do some help for your colleague.”
“A colleague. I don’t remember doing anything with the Capital Adventurer’s Guild. Find the dungeon yourself. Organize the party yourself. Adventure yourself. Is that a colleague… “
Cedric hardened his face when Jason didn’t come over.
But he was the one who missed it.
He quickly controlled his emotions and changed back to a smile.
“He is also a great person. Does your family teach royal studies in particular?”
“They just say it’s innate.”
Cedric rolled his head to and fro while making a fuss.
“These days, the price of magic potion is 1.5 times. Are you saying it’s going up? If you produce in large quantities, we will purchase them in bulk from us. Then, isn’t it good that the Mage Tower that Mr. Jason owns can only be produced in a certain amount?”
“What is the price?”
“I’ll give it to you at 1.3 times the price. Mr. Jason is also not a business that loses money. We will sign a large number of contracts, so Jason will be able to make a lot of money.”
“Is it strange that you think it would be better to just produce a magic potion and sell it at 1.5x? And if you suddenly sell it cheaper than the market price, you may be hated by other magic towers. I don’t want that situation.”
Cedric had nothing to say.
“You know that magic potion prices are still going up, right? I think I will be at a loss in the future.”
Cedric stuck out his tongue at Jason’s stubbornness.
Looking at it now, Jason was more like a merchant than an adventurer.
It was to the point where it was considered the wrong choice to come to him.
Originally, there were many cases where gold spoons grew up without shortage and made their business lavish.
Cedric expected that from Jason, but Jason was like a merchant who climbed from the bottom.
“Then what does Jason want to do with the price? I don’t know, so please teach me.”
“From my point of view, the price of magic potions will continue to rise in the future. Even the guild leader admits that, right? From my point of view, I think the guild leader should offer something other than money.”
“Anything else?”
Cedric pondered what he could offer Jason.
It was difficult.
Jason did not receive any requests from the adventurer’s guild, nor did he receive any information about the dungeon, or seek a party.
The adventurer’s guild didn’t have much to give him.
Jason saw Cedric’s head not going all the way there and he just said what he wanted.
“The adventurers guild leader is chosen by voting, right?”
The adventurer’s guild was an organization that existed for the interests of adventurers.
The adventurer’s guild leader selected a person who would be recognized by all adventurers belonging to the guild through voting.
“1.5 times the price. Massive production. Bulk sale. Even if there is a change in the market price in the future, there is no price change. And later, when Cedric’s guild leader’s term ends, he will support me politically. How is it?”
The adventurer’s guild was also a large organization within the Palmo Empire.
Being the head of such a place was not an easy task.
It was only possible after decades of dedication for the adventurer’s guild.
Cedric was immediately dizzy when Jason showed his ambition.
“I support… Would that be possible? As I just said, Mr. Jason moved independently with the Adventurer’s Guild. There is no choice but to be at a disadvantage in voting. Even if I say support.”
“It is not impossible. The price of magic potions will continue to rise, right? The adventurer’s guild tells you to work hard. When a magic potion doubles its previous price. Let’s announce the 1.5x contract. Also, please tell me that I signed a contract because I felt camaraderie with the adventurers’ guild in the capital.”
Cedric wondered if he might be bringing a dangerous person to the Adventurer’s Guild for a small profit right now.
Even at the current 1.5 times the price, adventurers were resisting.
In such a situation, if it was sold at 1.5 times the price when the price was 2 times, it was clear that adventurers would have a great liking for Jason Wolf.
It was an achievement beyond working for the adventurer’s guild for several decades.
“And this isn’t a bad story for Cedric Guild Leader either. It will be the guild leader’s credit for drawing out such a contract.”
“However, becoming a guild leader is not that easy. Traditionally, guild leaders have only been at the upper level. As for the intermediate level… No matter how hard you try to bribe the adventurers, it will be difficult.”
“Then, until I reach a higher level, Cedric’s guild leader will continue to serve. Until then, I will support the guild leader. He is a man with 7 magic towers. Wouldn’t there be endless ways to help the adventurer’s guild?”
Cedric came to persuade Jason, but he was being persuaded instead.
Besides, his persuasion was so tempting that it was embarrassing.
“You are a very scary person. Mr. Jason.”
“I should say that I am not a scary person, but a rational person. Other than this, I don’t think there’s any reason for me to help the Adventurer’s Guild.”
Cedric licked his lips. Certainly, Jason may be a dangerous man with huge ambitions.
But right now, we’ve been able to create a mutually beneficial relationship.
“Adventurers Guild Leader. It may not be such a good place. Adventurers just ask for a lot. Because there’s not much to do. Just because you are the guild leader, you can’t just give any orders to the adventurers.”
“But if there is a cause, it is also a place where all the adventurers in the capital can be moved. Just like the guild leader is in front of me now because I need adventurers.”
