Chapter 371 – Armals (4)
〈… I’ll buy it for 5 gold!〉
The oneshota kid who came to his senses shouted.
5 gold. Considering that a bottle of elixir—approximately 500ml—was 2-3 gold, the price was higher than average.
However, it was an ambiguous amount compared to shouting with vigor.
There is even a shortage of Elixir, but it’s only twice the average price?
Primor also laughed, covering his face with a teacup as if it were funny.
〈… Kut! 2, I’ll buy it for 20 gold! 2 bottles!〉
The kid who was dominated by Gao quadrupled the price in one go.
Hey, even bitcoin wouldn’t go up and down at this rate. I hit my hand.
〈20 gold is too much. And in order to sell one bottle to the two of you, I deliberately put out the items that were left for us, but you said you would buy them all? Please consider my circumstances as well.〉
〈… Keuheum!〉
Perhaps he regretted letting the little aristocrat cry out, and when I stopped him by using my name as an excuse, he cleared his throat and moved on.
If you buy both bottles for 20 gold, it costs 40 gold.
A little more than Diavolo’s entire fortune!
So I had no choice but to resist the urge to head-bang my head up and down right away.
‘I don’t know how rich Minerva is, but if I sold it to someone like that, the likability rating I’ve accumulated would go through negative.’
This is the level of selling a vaccine that will be commercialized someday for 40 billion in modern times.
If you ripped off 40 gold from this immature aristocrat, the possibility of giving the impression of being a money-crazy bastard was too great.
I am a dragon-palder—no, I am not a potion-handler.
I couldn’t sell it at too high an exorbitant price considering that the connections I had built up would be destroyed.
Even if it were me, I would attack the butcher with a spear if Veronica would buy me a pound of meat for 1 silver.
〈… I get it. How much will it be?〉
At the words of the little aristocrat, I immediately shouted for preemption.
Keew, is this the taste of preemptive insects? It’s so damn fun.
Of course, the person being victimized would not be as fucked up as this, but I am also selling items that are not for sale.
So I hope you will look at this cutely and move on.
It is not always a far-off solution to the shame of being preempted by Chinese workshop characters or dragons.
〈… 10 gold seems reasonable.〉
Jungpiri, who was worried, seemed to have taken the amount suggested by Primor as the final line.
Primor nodded, and the selling price of the Elixir was won at 10 gold.
Of course, our jungpiri aristocrats may have finally come back to reality, and their mouths popped out at the reality of buying 1 bottle for the price of 4 bottles.
Look at that kid Dare to stick out your fist in front of the elders, uh!
Mr. Pak. I think I’ll smack the blood magic ball on my lips.
I said while watching the Hermaion guild person pack the elixir tightly.
The little aristocrat Marcelo suddenly came to his senses and answered.
〈Treatment of old scars with potions is actually a waste of medicinal effects. Perhaps, in the case of the lord, it would be a method of digging out the wound and injecting an elixir into the affected area.〉
He was the one whose complexion turned bad at my words.
He had a rich imagination, but his stomach was in bad shape. This is the reason Minerva turned to evacuation as if she had been dropped in battle.
〈Woe, the affected part? Is it true?〉
He asked the sorceress who appeared to be her escort, and the woman who looked like her secretary nodded her head.
〈Ugh…〉
When he shuddered, I thought it was time.
‘Is there another way?! What is it?!〉
Yes, I thought it was watering. I smiled and wrote a few lines of text and spells on a piece of paper and handed it over.
The little boy with an inappropriate tone took care of what I had written, as if he were serving a pot of ancestral rites.
Perhaps it was thanks to the assistant mage next to him professing that it was a plausible technique.
Proudly held out was a wooden box the size of a mouse.
I was suddenly intrigued by this boring conversation.
No one hates expensive gifts. What’s more, it’s something rich people give to save face!
‘What a lively answer! Open it!〉
With permission, I opened the present from the obstinate lord. And inadvertently, I half-opened my eyes.
‘Jewel?’
No, the sap of the tree… Is it a pumpkin?
‘It’s not an ordinary thing. I can feel the mana.’
I tried to look at the orange gem as small as a fingernail through Odin’s eyes, but I held back because it was obvious that if I did, I would be bullshit when someone spoke to me. This bastard’s penalty keeps holding me back.
It is the Amber of Twin Star. As a giver’s duty, it would be appropriate to explain what this object is, but it would be quicker to read the letter than to listen to me!”
The kid who neglected his responsibility like that, took the elixir and went back to Minerva as if he was busy.
I was in a daze holding the wooden box, then smiled.
‘If it’s a bounty or a gift, I should have given this first.’
That way, he would have benefited from buying the Alixer.
Of course, it was a bounty that had nothing to do with the previous transaction, but how could it be so easy to distinguish?
It’s human psychology to notice the person who gave it to you when you have money in your bank account or an envelope in your pocket.
‘He looks clumsy for his age.’
Suffocating, I picked up the tea and drank it. Fortunately, the tea served this time was moderately bitter black tea.
Although he said that he had neglected his responsibility in the past, there was no reason to hold on to and ask for an explanation given that it was attached.
‘I don’t know what it is, but it’s definitely something unusual.’
The mana he possessed was at a level that could not be ignored. My heart is pounding with anticipation.
Of course, considering that there was nothing unusual when fighting Diavolo, it may not be something that will be used in battle right away.
However, there is no law saying that only items used for fighting are good items.
It’s something you get for free anyway. Let’s be genuinely grateful.
〈Is special magic required to administer the elixir?〉
Primor asked curiously as her little boy left. He must be drinking too, so he seems to be worried.
‘It’s not absolutely necessary, but it’s nice to have it. It’s a magazine type that I came across by chance.〉
It was thanks to Diavolo that I found out about this.
To be precise, it was the result of looking through that bastard’s book that was delivered to me, but that’s it.
‘This must have been the way Tirsi absorbed the elixir after being pickled in ice.’
It seemed that by surrounding her in her magic circle, she was encased in her ice, and spraying her elixir on it passed her medicinal effect.
It seems that the magic circle was also found in her annex where she was imprisoned.
I said it seriously. She seemed a bit surprised by my strong tone, then nodded her head.
“Are you not drinking now?”
No, fuck it, don’t say something that makes me even more ominous after following you?
Primor smiled, as if my face had subtly faded.
Like that, Primor also left the drawing room with an escort.
When only me and herself were left in her drawing room, Selena, who remained in her role as landlord’s surrogate and moderator, put down her teacup and said,
“Whoop whoop. If it were me, I would have sold it for 20 gold.”
