「You know, that door was supposed to be infused with ical and physical attacks, not tome lose confidence in my abilities」
「My bad, s So I had no other choice but to kick it open」
「My apologies for that I e the slums around here, My name is Duphein Gull Now, could you state your business?」
shi+tty Glasses, who referred to hih he wasn’t unnerved at all by the chaos that had just unfolded right outside
Although I had expected that he wouldn’t be disturbed at all, his uncaring attitude was still frustrating It seerip on both the gargoyle head and the
「What, I only want to old fee for privacy」
I casually took off the necklace around e in Dupein’s eyes
「…… Jack, forget everything you saw and leave this rooht now」
「Yes- EH?」
The face of the man called Jack turned pale as he responded He was clearly confused by the current situation, and was unable to grasp thebehind those words
「You should already understand the dangers of knowing too 」
「Ah!! Y-YES!!」
Jack hurriedly left the rooh he was kicked out I turnedover and standing in front of Duphein’s desk
「Well then, shall we start the negotiations? Howto pay for this necklace?」
「May I examine it first?」
「Sure, look it over asthat, I placed the necklace on Duphein’s desk
Duphein picked it up carefully, in a delicateevery little detail
He looked over the ic stones e the settings that held the trinket you have here, all theThe necklace uses Magic Silver(Mithril) for the chain connecting the settings, doesn’t it? Above all, the ems are superb Automatic HP recovery, s, auto-repairing (sold coins for such a splendid iteht?」
I should explain the currency of this world here The coinage of this kingdoe copper, silver, large silver, gold, large gold, and lastly, white silver (true silver) 10 coins of one grade are equivalent to 1 coin of the grade above it
[TL: 10 copper coin = 1 large copper coin]
Although I can’t say for sure, as there are differences in value, 1 silver coin should be valued at around 1,000 yen if converted to japanese currency Large gold and white silver coins are not soe-scale transactions that would nore businesses
It’s coold coins at e of everyday life expenses
Back to the old, which should be around 3,000,000 yen
Even though it’s i but a old would have been a decent price However, that price was only for the quality of the necklace
「Hey, don’t you go probing around in lared at hi intent, but unlike last time, I directed it at hiht? So leave the troublesos alone, if you can’t,you?」
That’s right, there isn’t anyone in this room who doesn’t know about it About the fact that the necklace isn’t quite an ordinary necklace Engraved at the bottoic stone of the necklace was a carved seal which indicated that it was an item related to the royal family: that carved seal made it so it can’t be used by anyone except royalty, due to an ancient pact with the great spirit The reason is because the carved seal washis own blood to have the spirit carve it into the pendant
This necklace was the reason he had driven his subordinate out of the roo of the situation It was also the reason why he stated such a low price, to gain infor ain the upper hand in the transaction
But, this guy doesn’t knohat this negotiation e
Getting funds is nothing but a trivial matter To be honest, I could still raise funds for the present even if I were to break it into pieces and sell it But I brought this necklace here because I believed that he would be able to pull it off naturally If it was him, he could skillfully send this necklace back to the subordinates of the royal fa a hefty profit froeon
I hinted for hi a heavy coercive pressure and bloodlust for an instant, before i it
Duphein was astonished for an instant but he returned to his usual self iies for the ienuine And I only have the power to handle it It looks like digging for more frohtly, he took off his monocle and wiped it neatly with a cloth
「Let’s set the price to 350 gold coins I will give 10 golds coin as a deposit for now As can be expected, I can’t prepare such a huge suain tomorrow for the rest For noill return this to you」
「Is that alright? I ht run aith the money, you know?」
「If you really are that kind of person, it will just h Here, take it」
After saying that, Duphein passed old he pulled out from his desk
「If that’s the case, I will take it with pleasure」
When I picked up the necklace frohtly tossed one of the coins from inside the sack to Duphein
「This, what’s the , that’s just the reis Also, we~ll 」
I raise the edge of
「With this you lost your sight of ht?」
「………You said the price for the inforht?」
「Sorry, it’s not for sale anymore You just missed your chance and there won’t be a second chance」
After saying that I stuffed the bag with 9 gold coins inside my pocket and left the place
「……Ku… KUKUKUKU, since soet tired of these slums」
Duphein, as left alone, let out a joyful s it
In his hand was a sliold coin, s were advancing according to my plan, so I walked toward the ht that there would be guys going after s didn’t happen I advanced from the deepest part of the slums to the main street
The sun was also located ard, it would only take a bit et to thefor an inn When I consider that this will be the first tiular bedroom where the air isn’t humid, and not in barren lands that steal your body heat; I think it is inevitable that my spirits skyrocketed
「Oops, this reminds me, if I keep it this way, I won’t be able to use it well」
