The Legend of Return
Chapter 278. Golden Carriage
“What do you think of Jerome’s words?”
An emergency meeting was held at the general branch of the Jubes guild, where Jerome belongs.
A secret cellar protected by magic.
An emergency message was sent to the top in a hurry yesterday.
It was a letter sent when the guild was destroyed in an emergency or when an event that would determine the future of the guild occurred.
“Even though Jerome is a 3rd class merchant, he is a lumber that will become a 1st class merchant in the future. It won’t be a lie.”
“If you look at the contents of the entire book, it is a huge thing. If we can get a supply of products made by the dwarves, the status of the upper ranks can rise rapidly.”
“You can’t blindly believe that, can you? Jerome’s current location is Count Versailles. It bothers me that the letter was sent from a place that was cursed by demons and not a demon.”
“Hmm ……”
The four first-class members of the Jubes upper management reviewed the documents.
Carmon, the head of the caravan, who sat in the seat of honor, closed his eyes and listened to everyone.
Calmon is 80 years old this year.
Started as a 5th class merchant and reached today.
He lived without being ashamed of his gray hair.
That’s how he struggled.
Thirty-one years have passed since the collapse of the Croyan Empire.
Great lords and former kingdoms became independent.
The blow to the top, which had operated without a hitch for hundreds of years, was severe.
Tolls were collected everywhere.
Monsters and beasts stirred all over the continent.
The cost of the upper part increased day by day.
It was difficult to make a profit even in moderate ups and downs.
“It is said that he can handle even the spirits. He is suspicious.”
“We don’t even know the past of Count Becker. Even the information guild said that there is no noble like that.”
“Later, other nobles may ask for impersonation. You have to be careful.”
The gray-haired, first-class top stock owners cautiously brought up their stories.
“The Arsha Merchant and the Luaran Merchant are said to be merging. At this rate, our guild has no choice but to fall out of the competition. Dwarf products are no longer available. The nobles’ desire to show off is greater than in the past. It’s worth a try.”
Only one Tier 1 merchant agreed to the deal.
I wasn’t afraid of a challenge.
“I requested a wizard and a waste mana stone. something suspicious It could be a warlock.”
“you’re right. It is a castle where demons lived. If you become connected, it may cause problems with your relationship with the temple!”
Negative comments prevailed.
“……”
There was silence for a while.
Only the decision of the upper class remained.
“I have to go.”
“Calmon sir!”
“A merchant must know how to gamble. If you do business comfortably in this difficult situation, you will perish.”
Calmon looked at the merchants with enthusiasm.
Although he was old, his spirit and eyes were as good as those of a young man.
“Is there a merchant near Count Versailles?”
“Sabina, a 2nd-class merchant, is in the Marquis of Dvor.”
“Sabina? If you’re a 4th circle mage, you’ll be able to take care of the conditions. put a message It means to pack up the top by meeting the requirements as much as possible.”
“I follow orders.”
The name of Kalmon in Sangdan Province was strict.
Although it was a group of merchants, its internal authority was no less than that of the king.
“And… collect as much information as possible. It must be revealed who he is and where he is from.”
***
“What is this…”
Sabina was speechless as she led the group to Versha Castle, which was ruined by monsters.
The sight before my eyes was a battlefield.
No human sign was visible.
Traces of the orcs’ stay were visible everywhere.
The burned houses and farmland were dreary.
An incomprehensible order was issued.
Information has been obtained that a lord has appeared at the ruined Versha Castle and that he is selling dwarven goods.
I couldn’t believe it, but it was an order from the top.
Second-class trader Sabina hurriedly organized the Merchant.
The Marquis of Devor, where she was active, was at the center of the ascending route, and the products were abundant.
He hastily hired over 200 wagons and hundreds of mercenaries.
The maximum number of gold coins that a 2nd-class upper class could earn was invested.
It was on a scale that Sabina had never managed before.
It was possible because the dwarf goods appeared.
We arrived at Versha Castle as carefully as possible.
The mercenaries trembled in fear, but they followed without a word because the amount was doubled.
On the way, a few hundred wandering people also joined.
They were people who abandoned their homes and ran away because of the monsters rioting everywhere.
“…..It seems that the Orc tribe has been swept away.”
The leader of the Narc Mercenary Corps hired by the Merchant Mercenary informed the information.
As soon as they crossed the unbreakable stone bridge, the traces left by the orcs were thick.
As if a ritual had been performed, human and animal bones were scattered everywhere.
It was a battle ritual for Orcs who ate their fill before the battle began.
“Couldn’t they all be dead?”
Sabina asked the captain.
From a distance, the outer city gates were torn and broken.
Every corner of the walls was full of soot.
At a glance, it was a ruined castle.
“I can’t see the orcs. Something must have happened if they were there.”
Narc, the mercenary leader who is a low-level magic fighter, carefully grasped the situation.
“Then ……”
The top stop in front of the outer castle gate prepared for a battle if it happened.
The nervous mercenaries, armed with weapons, looked at the castle with questioning eyes.
No one came out to meet me.
Versha Castle, where only a sense of silence lingers.
“uh! There is someone over there!”
At that time, a man appeared above the central gate of the outer castle.
He wore the gray leather armor used by mercenaries without money.
He had a bow in his hand and a sword at his waist.
In addition, he was carrying a thick ax on his back.
Anyone can see that he was a poor mercenary who did not know how to handle weapons properly.
“Who are you guys!”
He shouted from the top of the wall.
“It’s horsepower!”
Narc was surprised.
A person who could shout with magic power meant a magic fighter.
“My name is Sabina, the head of Jubes. I came to see the lord of this castle!”
Sabina also shouted with her magical energy.
Although wearing a gray merchant’s robe, Sabina also knew how to handle magic.
He was also a special presence at the top.
“I am… the lord of this castle, Count Becker Jean.”
A man’s voice resounding heavily.
“count?”
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the walled man.
A man who looked like a mercenary, not a lord.
His booming voice reverberated across the field.
***
‘Hehe. Welcome! Golden carriage!’
My heart was happy.
Crossing the stone bridge, hundreds of wagons waiting in front of the wall made my heart flutter.
It reminded me of the days when I served at the front line of the military in the past.
Months of frontline work in a place with no PX.
They waited patiently for the golden carriage to arrive.
On that day, a party was held with an armful of sweet chocolate pie and various sweets.
Both seniors and subordinates became one mind at that time.
Due to the pleasure of sugar, everything that day was tolerable was a safe pass.
It was now.
Dozens to hundreds of villagers visited every day.
It was not possible to supply goods using cars or airplanes like Earth.
The food and items brought by the first guild ran out.
When I threw the bait at the top, the result appeared.
A lucky supermarket with a golden carriage was entering the territory.
“Sabina-sama!!!”
Merchant Jerome ran out of the shattered gates.
“Jerome!”
Two merchants who recognize each other.
“Welcome your visit!”
I left a greeting and turned my back.
it was so cool
The former lord was a count, so I just ate a count.
A lord should not be light in body.
My head went crazy over the pricing calculations.
It was a part-time job sucking honey.
When I came here, I felt more comfortable than before.
For several days, I took out an ax or a weapon and practiced with excitement.
Of course, no one bothered.
Most of them expressed admiration, saying that Yeongju was working hard.
Each time he did so, his mana points and intimacy went up.
If there is no crisis, this trip can be properly healed.
The conversation with the merchants awaited.
***
“I formally greet you. I am Sabina, the 2nd-class head of the Jubeth guild.”
“Nice to meet you. This is Lord Becker Jang.”
“It is an honor to meet you.”
“Sit comfortably in your seat.”
“Please put your words at ease.”
The words didn’t come out easily.
Sabina wears a gray robe that is comfortable for travel.
it’s a beauty
That, too, was surprising.
He wasn’t that tall, but his nice figure was revealed through his robe.
The atmosphere was not light.
It was far from the slyness or lightness of the merchants.
The clear eyes resembling a blue lake were calm.
Her skin was pure white, as if it had not been affected at all by the rough journey.
Her eyes turned to me.
Short words did not come out of my throat by itself.
“……”
Time passed as her eyes met.
It was clear that Sabina was taken aback when she saw me.
An unusual encounter.
I wanted to believe that an unknown string of fate is connected.
“You are not an ordinary person.”
Looking for composure, I threw a few words.
It is a ground meal often thrown by modern masters (?) they encounter on the road.
“It is overrated. I am an ordinary merchant.”
Sabina laughs strangely.
I am in the mood to say that you are not an ordinary guy either.
Her laugh lit up the shabby office.
The grace she felt in her mother was also felt in Sabina.
Although he is a merchant, it was clear that he had a special secret.
“I’ve never seen such a beautiful trader as Sabina sheep.”
Became very arrogant
Now, even here, I am full of confidence.
“I am ashamed.”
Politeness naturally permeated from every action.
The usual etiquette was buried even at the fingertips that were neatly gathered.
The atmosphere was good.
Merchant Jerome remained silent.
He knew that the flow of this atmosphere was not bad.
“Then let’s start trading right away.”
There was no place for a meeting, and there was nothing to create a better atmosphere.
What was urgent right now was the magic stone and various daily necessities.
As the number of territories increased, the points accumulated.
“I was waiting for you with a happy heart.”
“Do you have full power?”
“Up to a certain point, I can handle it on my own.”
Sabina, who was much younger than Jerome, seemed to have quite a bit of power.
No need for long words.
The situation could be read with just the eyes.
As time went by, like an old acquaintance, Sabina became more comfortable.
“Let’s go to the product display room.”
I got up from my seat and took the lead.
I led the two of them out into the living room.
“This is it.”
“ah!”
Sabina, of course, exclaimed.
“It’s great to see you again!”
Jerome made another choo-im-sae.
I used the spirits to clean it so that I wouldn’t die.
Even to me, the high-gloss, elegant stainless steel products were an illusion.
Commoners used crude wooden or earthenware utensils.
I admired the stainless steel products set in the parlor with a happy gaze.
Sabina admired and scanned the items with emotion.
“What is this product?”
Jerome pointed out the travel Kopel set that he was interested in.
It was like a merchant.
“Sabina-sama. This stuff is really great. There are more than 10 bowls and pots in this small pot. You can definitely reduce the travel wagon volume!”
Jerome took care of it and started the business.
There was a hint of passion in conveying the emotion he felt to Sabina.
I felt like I should get some bonuses later.
“really?”
“of course. Take a look.”
Jerome skillfully demonstrated.
I opened the Coppel and took out the products inside and put them on display.
“Great!”
Sabina couldn’t hide her admiration either.
It is the first time I have ever seen such an elaborate object.
With the technology here, no product can maintain such perfect curves and smooth surfaces.
It was impossible to maintain the same uniformity.
According to information acquired, there were no craft products yet.
“It’s beautiful…”
Sabina’s hands gently touched the bowl.
It was erotic without knowing something, like touching a lover’s cheek.
She looked like a woman from a high-ranking aristocratic family, not a merchant.
“There’s no foreign substance at all… It’s really a Dwarf product, a craftsman bestowed by God.”
Sabina also nodded at the dwarf mark.
It wasn’t a scam, but it was a scam.
“It can be very useful when nobles or knight merchants travel. Wouldn’t it be the best as an ornament to enhance the honor of your family?”
While listening to the explanation, Sabina carefully inspected the other products.
It was an item she could think of.
“By the way, these products were crafted with great care (?) by skilled artisans among the Dwarves. You will have to set a price for their honor.”
Now, the base meal is over.
It’s not a lie.
These are works produced by a Dwarf-class machine optimized for proficiency.
“…All of them are luxury items. Lord.”
Sabina gave a look of respect.
I felt genuine admiration.
“Of course. The latest technique of the Dwarves was applied. It’s not mithril, but it doesn’t rust. It has a sterilization effect that kills even invisible harmful germs. It is also very easy to wash. Once purchased, it can be used semi-permanently.”
Sabina listened attentively to the explanation.
It seems that my head is busy thinking of phrases to promote in the future.
“I wish we had set the price so that we wouldn’t blush each other.”
He expressed his will not to sell cheaply.
“Lord… Thank you in the name of the good gods for valuing our relationship with the guild.”
Sabina politely opened her mouth.
“Dwarf products have been difficult to set a price for in the past. Most of them were luxury items used by nobles, so demand was high, but supply was low. With the fall of the imperial family 30 years ago, all trades were cut off. For this reason…”
Sabina paused.
It will not be easy to set a price for steady transactions while leaving a reasonable profit.
looked straight into her eyes.
“I’m willing to pay one imperial gold coin per plate…”
“!!!”
He barely calmed his twitching lips.
The gold coin was about 18K 10 money.
The market price in 2008 is about 1.5 million won.
I bought it for 10,000 won per plate.
That’s more than 150 times more profit.
“greatness.
I coughed hard to contain the burst of laughter.
“So… if the amount is large, especially… I’m willing to pay more.”
Sabina, who felt uneasy about her strangely distorted face, added a bet.
nice!
He quenched his trembling heart with the hammer of patience.
“Well… that much… I’ll accommodate you.”
barely spoke
Even if I think about it, I think my personality got better after coming to the other world.
“thank you! Lord!”
Sabina bowed deeply.
I quietly threw one more word at Sabina.
“Miss Sabina.”
“Your lord.”
“How much is the market price of the exhausted mana stone?”
“The waste rock is usually about one gold coin. It can be purchased through Mage Towers and Wizards who consume a lot of Mana Stones.”
There was a huge price difference between a mana stone full of mana and a mana stone that was discarded.
“Then please buy them all! all!”
“Yes? All of them?”
Sabina blinked at my words.
It was a look full of questions.
You will be wondering.
I can’t tell you though.
A waste mana stone that you don’t know how much you will receive when you return to Earth.
Even if you call for billions, there will be people who will buy it.
That kind of thing is worth a 10,000 won stainless steel plate here.
Knowing this price difference, Sabina would immediately call me a thief from the other world.
– The title has been changed to ‘A robber to watch out for lightning in the other world’.
