Chapter 245 – Land of Craftsmen (2)
Guilds in another world were merchants’ interests.
Among such guilds, the blacksmith guild had a large pie and was highly influential.
Isn’t it a world where there are so many dangers that monsters appear even in human territory? It was unavoidable that the blacksmith’s business had grown to resemble that of a military supply company.
A fucking strong weapon is as important as a superman in another world.
It was a different world where enchanted swords were expensive and favored like American aircraft carriers.
‘Of course, that doesn’t mean all blacksmiths are rich.’
Even Clara had good skills, but wasn’t she that poor?
As a profession with promising and low entry barriers, blacksmithing was a job where income variance was narrow even in the same profession, such as singers and actors.
If I teach the invisible hand theory to a starving blacksmith, won’t he stop talking bullshit and try to break my claw with a hammer?
In that sense, the blacksmiths in Hremar, the port city of Nidavellir, seemed to have good brains and good business skills.
If you look at the number of floors in the blacksmith guild alone, there are 20 floors.
“Fuck it, it’s so big.”
I let out an innocent exclamation. It is a high-rise building that is hard to find in another world. Why did a lot of cubs on a flat land build such a tall building?
Only the building next door hidden in the shadow of the building is pitiful. Hi-Hi. Sunshine is shit. Cover the shade!
After admiring it for a moment, I entered the guild with the party members. It would be embarrassing to be laughed at while standing with your mouth open like a country boy.
【Hello. What kind of business did you come today?]
A well-dressed guide cut the entrance. I held out my adventurer ID.
【I came here because of custom leather armor.】
【Yes. You are Nord, an adventurer from the Audumla Guild. Thank you for visiting.】
As an adventurer, it was a silver class that was a bit of a class, so we passed through the entrance cut.
A Master’s ID would get you treated better as a guest, but I thought I’d save the archaeologist’s brooch, which is great for hiding your identity. Because you always have to be careful and careful when abroad.
‘But why are humans acting as guides’?
I was curious about that for a while, and I roughly woke up.
Since it is a trading city, many other races will come. The pure-blooded dwarves were really small, so they could get a lump in their throat while talking.
In this regard, it was well felt that the blacksmith guild had good business skills.
“Aha♡! Senior, senior Look at this, this!”
Lalilura picked out a mask she was allowed to try on and put it on her face. It was a colorful wooden mask, and I could feel mana enchanted.
“Isn’t it funny how you look? Adventurers say that performance is more important than appearance, but I don’t think it would be difficult to ask for something like this.”
“That’s probably the mask of the Aztecan cannibal priests.”
“Heeheeeee?!”
Lalilura, the flagship of my explanation. She took the mask that was about to fall and returned it to its original place. Larry Lura rubbed her cheeks in disgust at her.
“Why, why are you selling that in a store?!”
“Not Nandle. It must be a relic or loot.”
It might have been a drop item picked up from fighting the cannibal priests there. It’s fucking awesome to see these things sold in stores downtown.
No, isn’t it sold to wear? It could be a magical research material.
【If you’re going to keep being like this, fuck it!!】
That’s when I was staring at the unpleasant mask.
A man yelled at the counter to leave the store.
The one who shouted was a dwarf man who looked like a gangster, but his clothes seemed to be of good quality, unlike his bully-like face.
The mana-enhanced bear’s eyes saw the blisters on the man’s hand. I don’t know if it’s a full-time warrior or not, but it was the hand of someone who’s been through a fight.
【Dye costs 3 Serpes and 1 Silver?! If the price is the same, then how do you make the delivery!!]
【Customer. Calm down. If you continue to make a fuss, I will call a security guard.]
An employee who responds normally as if dealing with a customer’s claim. The dwarf staff and guests were in a heated argument. Customers roared as he drew a lot of aggro in the store.
【Are you kidding me right now?! If you keep making your hands go to other companies and set the price of the dyes supplied at that price, will you be saying that we will starve to death?!]
【If you have any dissatisfaction with intermediate distributors or products, please go to the window over there──】
【This fuck!! I told you to work on that claim round and round!!]
The dwarf, blushing with anger, drew his hatchet from his waistband.
Is it the mindset to take matters into one’s own hands without relying on the law? That’s great. It’s not a fucking crazy bastard.
[The head is perfect!! Cut it in half and dye it with your blood!!]
【Huh Oh Oh!!】
The Dwarf’s ax show, stepping on a sudden acceleration! Even the cold-hearted staff got scared and sat down.
The law is far and the ax is near. It’s only natural that his attitude becomes cold towards Jin-sang, who makes his shit-like work hours even more shit-like, but it’s hard for that cool response to continue even against opponents with blades.
In any case, the Dwarf, who seemed to be the guest of the Ax Dwarf, was frightened by such a sudden rush. He bravely grabs the waist of the person holding the axe.
【This is my friend!! Are you crazy?!]
[Leave this!! Let go!!]
【Off guard!! Call the guard!!]
In an instant, a mess broke out. The quick-witted customers are walking backwards to the entrance, fearing sparks.
There would be no reason for us to get involved in that trouble either. Hmm. It looks like it’s fucked up. But do we need to know?
Thinking so, I withdrew for a while and decided to come next time. After an hour or so, I’ll come and see what happened. Goodbye Ray Penver.
“Guys, we——”
【──The customer there. You should do that.]
“… Det?”
I tried to open my mouth, not wanting to get involved in a fight that I didn’t know the circumstances, but a tanned blonde bully stormed in while grabbing Gao from behind us.
It was a brown-skinned blond man with dark eyebrows. He’s a little short, but he’s human. I blinked.
I noticed this man approaching. He didn’t even have a life, so he just passed by saying that he was just a passer-by.
‘But why the hell is he suddenly interfering?’
No, I don’t mind interfering, but why are you interfering with us in between?
If you’re going to break in, just go 10 steps forward and it’ll be great. That dwarf ax man is looking at whether or not we are also in the party.
【If you make a fuss at the store, write it down. Shouldn’t craftsmen be able to speak with their skills?]
─Wheezek. The blonde tanned bully walked past us, brushing his gloved hands.
【What if you blame others for not being able to make a profit because of your lack of skills? We’re not doing charity work either.]
A bully who chooses only the right words unexpectedly. However, if I were to give you a tip of life that I had seen and experienced, there was no way for drunks, idiots, and the truth to be true.
Because? They’re angry to get what they want, not because they’re angry for a good reason.
【Profit!! What else are you doing interfering and fucking!!]
Enraged, Ax left threw his hand rabbit.
I was blown away by a flying axe. It seems that he underestimated the spirits of the Nidavellir Dwarves.
【Ike, be dangerous!】
The short bully nimbly dodged the axe. Problem here. If the bastard in front of me avoids you, what will happen to me behind him?
“My child.”
Of course, the ax that strayed and flew aiming at my stomach, damn it.
I snatched the axe and tried to grab it, but I just avoided it because I didn’t want to attract attention. Yangachi was surprised and apologized.
[Oh, I’m sorry. It’s because I’m not used to guard work yet. Aren’t you hurt?]
[I avoided it, so it’s okay. Do whatever you do.]
I answered roughly. If the ax had been blown to Fran, it would have been difficult to endure the anger control disorder, but it doesn’t seem like it was intentional, so let’s move on.
【Thank you! You’re as manly as you look, so you’re cool!]
The bully, who greeted him with his gloved hand, dug the ax into him and struck him on the back of his neck with his blade.
─Fuck!
【Keuk!】
A man with an ax who stretches easily while showing the whites of his eyes. I’m kind of surprised.
‘Contrary to what he looks like, he’s quite capable?’
I never thought I would be able to defeat the ax man who looked like he had been trained in addition to his dwarf natural tank body. It’s worth serving as a guard for a guild like this.
【Zoid-sama!】
─Rurr. Men who appear after them.
Since they wore the same clothes as Yangachi, they must be security guards. The bully called Zoid said while handcuffing the Dwarf.
【Accompany. Contact the city guard and request an arrest.]
【Yes!】
The guards dragged Ax Man away. The rest of the party stood there dumbfounded watching their friend being dragged away, but Zoid lowered his voice and said.
【I’m sorry that your friend was arrested. There’s no way the dwarf got drunk in broad daylight, and you must have had a hard time too.]
【Oh no… That friend is not that kind of friend…】
【What? What? Looking at this now, do you have the same opinion as that friend? Even if they are members of the same guild… No Since we are members of the same guild, there are lines we need to keep. Isn’t it?]
Jade crossed his arms and let out a drool.
【It’s the same for everyone that this is a difficult time. Let’s be proud together, so let’s be patient. Huh? My heart hurts because there are more guild members like that these days.]
【… Mmm. I’m sorry.]
The Dwarf left as if he had understood that. He seemed like a good person when he looked at his good manners. Why did he hang out with such a sudden ax man?
After clearing up the chaotic situation, Zoid patted the receptionist and spoke to me.
【Uh… What. I was really sorry earlier. I can apologize.]
【Hehe. I don’t care. If you’re really sorry, I’ll give you money.]
She smirked and jokingly replied. Zoid burst out laughing as if she had just eaten one shot.
【Khahaha! Right! Making money and quitting is always the best. Take it.]
─Peeing! Zoids that bounce coins. I opened my palm and took it. It was a 10 copper coin.
Wow, fuck. Are you saying you’re cool with 100,000 won here? Then admit it
I felt better after one session of financial therapy. The apology of 100,000 won for dealing with the truth for a while! If you stay here long enough, you’ll make some money.
【Additional to the price of a drink to drink with the wife next to you. My recommendation is a beer made in the Belost region. It is an art to swallow heavily.]
【Note.】
Did you recognize me and Fran’s ring? He was also a talent.
Because it is the basic ability of a person with actual combat experience to observe the enemy’s armament. It’s just a habit, and if there’s someone who looks strong, I’ll observe them.
【Looking at what she wears and what she has, it’s only adventure furniture. The 2nd layer is weapons, the 3rd layer is iron armor, the 4th layer is leather armor, and the 5th layer is magic items. Order production is over there on the first floor. Good job then.]
Zoid, who explained as if reading a manual, left like the wind.
Things broke out in the blink of an eye and then were sorted out, so I was distracted. Only the 100,000 won cash in my hand gave me a sense of reality.
“Still, isn’t it a lot of money if it’s 10 coppers?”
“Senior? If you get hit by an ax while chasing money, you won’t be able to close your eyes even if you die.”
“It’s okay because I won’t look back.”
To be honest, I wouldn’t have been hurt even if I had been hit or snatched.
We received the custom armor and entered a room in the guild as instructed.
***
“Ho! What a nice leather!”
The receptionist admired the giant’s blue skin.
The leather he was looking at was a small cut for appraisal. It is heavy and conspicuous when carried whole.
“Heh. Thank you for the compliment.”
Since the dwarf was so surprised, I became a little elated. Foragers are creatures whose hobby is hunting, so they are happy when their prey is praised.
However, carelessness is not allowed. Keeping your eyes open and cutting your nose is the deal of another world.
“It is very good that the texture is good. Did you catch it yourself? What kind of monster was it?”
“Haha. It was nothing. He was the guy I met in a cave on the way from Germania.”
I say ‘Taijiquan’ to the receptionist.
It’s the first leather I’ve ever seen, so it looks like I’m trying to dig up information, but I don’t want to get involved in strange things. But Gura didn’t wake up. Isn’t that what you found in the cave?
The Dwarf receptionist said in an agitated way.
“Hmm, hmm. Just by touching it, you can imagine how powerful the monster was in life. If it was a guy like this, he would have been a mountain soldier in a region. May I ask where you met such a tycoon?”
Oh, you want me to specify just the region? I’m sorry, but he’s such a fucking unique mob.
Besides, they seem to think that I met them in a cave, so they must have come by land, laying ground rice. Didn’t we come by boat?
Even though I deliberately lied, not a lie, so that I would be mistaken.
“Sorry for this. As you can see, I am ignorant, so I do not know where foreign lands are and only follow the guide diligently.”
“Hmm… You did. What would you like to do?”
I gave up. I handed over the design sketch that Fran made.
“Please make it into armor. Here is a picture of my wife. Please make it like this.”
“Ohh. The wife next to you? I am very envious that your wife is beautiful and that all of her abilities are good.”
With the receptionist who was flattering me like that, I set the price while discussing this and that.
Estimated duration is 10 days. It may take a little longer if you do everything I have additionally asked for. Still, since they said it wouldn’t be more than two weeks, it seemed like there wouldn’t be any problems with the return plan.
Said the dwarf receptionist, playing with a pen on the paperwork.
“With all the options, the armor production cost will be 6 silver.”
Aigo fuck.
Look how expensive it is to produce. 6 silver is 6 million won.
My situation where I was happy after picking up 10 coppers is becoming like an idiot. Still, she was me who quickly came to her senses as her spending money grew after she succeeded.
“Can I see the bill, please?”
“As much as you like.”
I received the documents and shared them with Frank. Lalilura also intervened, wondering if she was a little curious, so she pushed her aside a bit.
They say that if you order a high-quality suit tailored to your body at a department store, it will break by several hundred, but since it is a battle suit from another world, it is likely to cost about 6 silver. Maybe.
– Kwok.
But, in my opinion, Fran tugging at the collar as if giving a scolding. It was under the table, so the receptionist couldn’t see it.
I overturned my opinion in 0.1 seconds.
“I’m going to talk to you guys for a moment. Please wait three minutes.”
“Yes? Ah, if the amount is not enough—”
“Hehe. Go and come and talk.”
Cut because it was obvious that he would recommend a loan or sell the surplus leather. The three of them came out the door.
“Fran, why? It was expensive.”
“Yeah. The dyeing cost was very expensive.”
Lalilura answered. How does he know As if noticing my doubts, Larry Lura tugged at her darling and her clothes.
“Aha♡! Senior too. I wonder if a charming girl like me doesn’t know about clothes and the dyes that color them? The circus is an eye-catching art?”
“Ah, that’s right. I hadn’t even thought about the dye cost.”
I stole it, but wasn’t it because of the price of the dye that made the ax man grow green?
Frank pondered and said.
“As Lalilura said, it was very expensive. A serpe is the weight of a bag, but 3 serpes are said to be 1 silver, right? At this rate, half of the armor production cost will go to the dye price.”
“That is a pretty big deal.”
As a country that respects technology, it is understandable that labor costs are high, but it was a bit Eva to break hundreds of dollars to dye clothes.
‘But it’s kind of like wearing blue armor.’
Although the giant skin is pretty, the top and bottom blue and blue fashion is Eva.
When I think about my stealth experience, wearing black is comfortable in many ways.
“… Nor. These are my personal thoughts.”
Our Fran is a thief, so I knew that without even saying it.
Was that so? In less than two minutes, my wife released a saving hack as a housewife who takes care of the house.
“Wouldn’t it be okay to leave the work behind and go look for dyes in your free time?”
