Chapter 178: Selling Bones
Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
“Did you hear? Someone is buying remains of first transition Knights.”
“Mmm, I heard it’s that big aristocratic clan who wants to buy a large number of remains to refine something.”
“Hehe, to hell with the big aristocratic clan. It’s the academy who wishes to collect remains to forge Inferior Remains Divine Weapons and help the students in the upcoming Regional Selection.”
Next to the table, two merchants exchanged glances and quickly left.
Similar news were spreading through the all of Kirst through various underground channels.
…
On the other end, in an underground room, Anthony pinched his nose, his face pale as he looked at Ferdinand, who was cutting up and polishing the corpses. He felt as if he was about to puke.
“What are you doing?”
Ferdinand’s expression did not change as he continued to work on the corpses and said, “Other than their bones, the other parts of first transition Knights can’t be used to make Remains Divine Weapons.They’re useless.
“Although these black people are black, their bones are white, just like ours.
As long as we polish them up a little, no one will be able to tell that they were Garcia’s Great Warriors.”
Anthony turned his head, not daring to continue looking at what Ferdinand was doing. “I’m asking what use is it?”
“What use?” Ferdinand lifted his head, looking at Anthony as if he was looking at an idiot. “Garcia’s Great Warriors are much weaker than our Empire’s Knights. When you compare their bone remains with the bone remains of Empire’s Knights, which do you think will sell at a better price?”
Ferdinand shook his head helplessly, “If not for the fact that the remains of Conferred Knights are too different from those of the Knights’, I would even be able to pass these off as Conferred Knights’.”
He then pointed to the pile of bones which had already been polished and said, “Alright, take that pile away. Take it to the location I told you of. Someone will offer you two thousand gold for them. You just need to sell it to him.”
“Two thousand gold? It can sell for that much money?” Anthony asked with wide-open eyes. “From what I know, the bone remains of a normal level 19 Knight can only be sold for about one thousand gold or so. The bones still need be to be processed and combined with other materials to actually make a Remains Divine Weapon.
“And yours are counterfeits.”
He tapped the counterfeit remains and shook his head, “If it was me, I would pay at most six hundred gold for it.”
“Hehe, then it’s right. Everyone will feel that two thousand gold is too much, that’s why they’ll be tricked.” Ferdinand smiled.
Anthony frowned, but understood after thinking about it. “You’re laying the ground? Buying what you sell?
“Will it work?”
…
“Have you heard?”
“This time around, Governor Devitt plans to choose a person to be his disciple from the ten who’ll pass the Regional Selection.”
“The Governor is looking for a disciple.”
“Is that true? Where did you hear the news from?”
“How could it be false? The person who becomes the Governor’s disciple will be able to gain great power and authority. Hehe, otherwise, why do you think so many people are buying bone remains?”
“Oh? I heard that someone bought one set for two thousand gold yesterday.”
