She, too, was familiar with the story of the bandits nestled in the mountains.
The reason she traveled with dogs like this was to prepare for that. So, it wasnt difficult for her to understand what had happened to this woman nad Isera, who had been shot by the bandits arrows.
When the girl understood her situation in her own way, Isolda carefully asked.
Co to think of it where are you going? If Im right, it looks like were going to Sellenberg, judging from the iron ore youre carrying
Eh! Uh how did you know?
Of course, thats the best place to sell iron ore in the surrounding area. Maybe its gotten busier since they finished expanding the forge a year ago?
Ah yes, on top of that, I heard that there are more unusual rumors going around these days, so I have more work to do. From what Ive heard, it seems like the lords are buying irons in large orders as well.
I see
At the girls words, Isolda suddenly rembered a fact she had forgotten for a while, and a slight frown appeared in her face.
Certainly there were many such signs right before I got into trouble. I guess Ill have to wait and see how it goes, but
While thinking about that, Isolda first looked at the girl who had saved her life and asked.
Co to think of it, I havent heard your na. What is your na?
Ah my na is Yuria. Yuria Sweets. As you mightve guessed, I work as a rchant and sell iron ore.
I see Yuria. Then, will you let accompany you to Sellenberg? I will give you an appropriate reward when we arrive.
Ah there is no need for a reward! Youre suffering a lot because youve been attacked by bandits, right? My mother told that at tis like this, we should help each other.
Help?
Looking at the girl who refused to take the reward, Isolda sighed once more at her naivete.
rchants shouldnt have compassion I guess she didnt learn that people are re pawns in front of money. Her parents taught her the wrong way.
With that thought in mind, Isolda went inside the carriage and lay down to ease the still throbbing pain.
***
Sellenberg.
The size of the city was not that large considering that it belonged to a baronial territory, but as one of the passages between the Holy Empire and Schwyz, there were quite a few people passing through this place.
Moreover, it also had a reputation as a place where many blacksmiths lived in the past.
Kang! Kang! Kang!
The blaring sounds of tal hitting tal could be heard even from the roadside.
In addition, the sll of iron and fire wafting through the city would hit ones nose the mont one entered the city, clearly showing what kind of place it was.
Arriving in Sellenberg, Yuria and Isolda imdiately went to the trading post where iron ores were being purchased.
Its gotten quite serious the price of iron ore is skyrocketing beyond imagination.
Isolda thought as she looked at the Iron ore prices displayed throughout the trading post.
Looking at the prices that had jumped nearly twice the amount of what Isolda originally knew, she could roughly guess which direction the continents situation was going.
Steel produced from iron ore was not simply used to make agricultural tools.
No, in fact, if asked to na the most basic use of steel, most would give the sa answer weapons!
Iron ore was the most basic yet essential resource for making swords, spears, and most other weapons.
Now that that its price had skyrocketed, it ant that war was imminent in neighboring countries.
At this mont, the price of iron ore is literally the sa as gold. If she does well, this girl will make so good money today.
With that thought in mind, Isolda leaned against the carriage and watched, as this girl nad Yuria proceeded with the transaction.
Eh hey so I brought 10 crates, and each one costs 200 silver coins
That makes it 2000. Are you going to make the deal?
Ah I know, but wait a minute
Whoa
Asolda felt a bit frustrated as she watched the girl fidgeting as she calculated.
As a rchant, it seems that she wasnt yet accustod to counting.
However, as she continued to look at her, Isolda suddenly began to think of one thing.
But, well co to think of it, I was also like that when I was younger. The days when I was calculating prices with my fingers
At that ti, she was studying to beco a rchant under the strict education of her parents.
In the process, she was taught not only to simply acquire knowledge at ho, but also to purchase goods directly from the store and make a profit.
At first, of course, she made a lot of mistakes, and there were tis when she was punished because she lost money by miscalculating.
But Isolda didnt particularly resent her parents for that.
It was because she had undergone such rigorous training that she was able to grow as a confident rchant.
Even though its all in ruins now.
While watching the transaction between Yuria and the buyer, Isolda suddenly discovered sothing interesting.
