Chapter 418: Master's Value
At the end of the morning session of the magic stone auction.
It is a bargain ti where items that just brought in on the day and items that cannot be appraised are exhibited.
「The next one is this! A mysterious magic stone that even if an expert appraised it, everything will co out as unknown! The adventurer who brought this in, got it after seizing a thief's hideout, so there is no information regarding the demon beast that was the owner of this magic stone at all!」
It was a small magic stone. However, it has a good shape, and it seems that it was exhibited with the expectation that it would be more valuable as a jewel than a magic stone.
「Starting form ten thousands Goldes!」
Bid is coming in, but it's not that popular. The only problem here is that we don’t know the exhibitor na. However, I was willing to make a successful bid for it and asked Fran to bid.
3 minutes passed while continued to competing for it. We succeeded in winning the mysterious magic stone for 120 thousand goldes.
(Got it)
『Oh, sankyu. Now we have the evil goblin general magic stone on our hand』
Yes, the mysterious magic stone is a high-ranking species of goblin, an evil goblin, it was also a general one. The evil species are more wicked, so even if they appraised it, the result will be unknown. I guess no one knew it.
However, in my case, thanks to my heavenly eye skill, I can reveal only the na. The evil magic stone doesn't help the mysterious soul in to recover, so I'm sorry for this ti. But if it's a general rank one, we ca expect a few numbers of skills.
After that, Codart made another successful bid for magic stone. He got 7 out of the 8 we were aiming for from the beginning. The only bid that failed was the magic stone from a fairy species called Ketsey.
(TLN: ケットシー Kettoshii)
It is a demon beast with a threat level of C, but it's quite small. Furthermore, its colour and shape are high grade, its price has risen more than 10 tis the market price. We expected special skills from it, but it can't be helped now.
We managed to get the devil's magic stone that I wanted the most, I am really grateful to Codart. We spent more than ten million goldes in a day. Well, money is ant to be used.
We parted with Codart in front of the auction site and head towards our inn.
『Well well! Let's go back to our inn and absorb it!』
「Nn」
『Iyahoo!』
Haah, my tension goes up. After all, even the cheapest one was a threat level of D, except for the evil stones. We also got 3 threat levels C, Moreover, the devil's magic stone is a Count class. In other words, it has the sa threat level of B as the devil we defeated in Allesa.
There are not many opportunities to be able to absorb such high-quality magic stones at once. I want to absorb it real quick!
『Magic stones? Magic stones?』
「Master, looks happy」
When i were singing along, I felt that soone was running up from behind. He stopped for a mont, but soon increased his vigilance. It turned out that the other party was a complete amateur.
He didn't erase his presence, and on the contrary, his running steps could be heard echoing. He's less than a small fry adventurer. It seems he must be a completely ordinary person.
「Please wait a mont!」
It was an elderly man who run up. He is literary a civilian with well-tailored and loose-fitting clothes. The flesh of his belly is shaking every ti he moves.
「Can i have a bit of your ti?」
「Nn?」
「Yeah you! There's a story i want you to listen! There's no loss in this! Would you like to listen about it?」
(Master?)
『Well, if only a little』
I really want to go back to our inn ASAP!
「Nn, if only a little」
「Ooh! Then please co with , this way」
What a carriage he had prepared. I'm ready for anything. But, is he a fool? Without even giving us his na, he suddenly asked us to get on the carriage. I would like to et a fool who would get on a carriage like that.
No, i think he's underestimating this child, Fran. In other words, it seems that he hasn’t investigated Fran's identity. What on earth are he going to do? I can only guess he's a scamr.
When I appraised the man, more or less, he's a nobleman, and a baron.
「Your na?」
「Oh, sorry it's a bit late. My na is Beckert」
(TLN: ベッケルト Bekkeruto)
The nobleman is humbly giving his na without his family na. he's just getting more suspicious.
「What's the story?」
「Well, it will be a long story」
「Here is fine」
We shouldn't follow a suspicious person.
「But…」
「Then, I’ll go ho」
「Oh! W-wait! You'll regret it!」
「…Are you threatening ?」
「No-no way! I-i didn't an it! Wa-wait a second! Oi! Co out!」
When Fran returns her heels, the man calls out into the carriage in a hurry. Then, two strong looking n co down from inside. I already know from the presence, but obviously he was going to threaten or attack Fran in the carriage, right?
However, Fran refused to ride in the carriage, so he instructed them to co out to intimidate her.
Two n stand around Fran. He is sliding the sword on his waist and frowning as if showing he is angry. It seems that he is accustod to this kind of works.
They are not a big deal in terms of ability. They are using fake muscles and weapons that are only a fashion. It's funny that their acting skills are higher than their swordsmanship. A re guard under Count Bailleys we et last night can handle them by himself.
「So, you are talking?」
「Wha? Oh that's right」
Beckert was surprised at Fran who wasn't scared at all. However, he rembered his purpose and he began to talk about why he wans to talk with Fran while holding down his voice.
「Actually. My lord wanted the sword you are carrying」
「Lord? who?」
「I can't reveal that…but if you give away your sword. I'll pay you 50 million goldes. How about it, it's a good deal isn't it?」
