After I left the royal palace I went to the Comrce Guild. For stuff related to the circulation of money or goods, its better to go to the Comrce Guild, or else I might receive harassnt in the future.

As a noble, it might be strange for to co to rely on a Comrce Guild but the truth is there are many tis when nobles had no choice but to rely on a Comrce Guild especially if its concerning their own dignity. One example of that ti is when they want to buy a congratulatory present for another nobles wedding.

If a noble gives only a common present to another noble as a wedding gift they might get looked down upon by the noble community. Thats why they need the Comrce Guilds help to get so rare items. Is this what they call just leave things to a specialist? Hm Its close but a bit different.

Thank you for your large order the other day.

I was the one who should thank you for taking the order on short notice.

The one who actually bought the oil was Norbert though. While saying that in my head, I sit down in front of an uncle whose body is as big as a barrel.

The uncles na is Mr.Bierstedt. He is a large rchant who is active in the capital and a leading figure in the Comrce Guild. Well, a noble calling a rchant with Mr in front of his na might be frowned upon by the noble community but calling him with Mr inside of my head should be fine.

When I requested a large amount of turpentine oil from him it must have caused plenty of trouble for him but since I bought it at the price he asked without negotiating he must make a quiet amount of profit. The rchant in this world isnt that different than a corporate in my past life.

What can I do for you today?

There are things that I want to purchase in a distant town. I want a trustworthy rchant to go there. I will prepare the escort.

Thats quite unusual request.

He shot a probing look. I might be a viscount, but Im still a student. His being suspicious of my request is understandable. I know that I seem like a debauch young master that just recklessly spending money.

This is the list of towns I want the rchant to visit and the list of items I planned to purchase. I would also want the rchant to confirm the availability of the items in each town.

Allow to take a look at the list.

I handed him the list made of demonskin parchnt. There are more demonic beasts compared to lambs so the price of parchnt made from demonic beasts skin is cheaper than the one made from lambs skin.

Only a certain type of demonic beast can be used to create a demonskin parchnt. Now that I think about it its actually not strange for demonic beasts to resent humans. I an, their flesh is eaten and their skin is taken to create a demonskin parchnt. Not to ntion their insides are used as a fertilizer on agricultural land.

The saying that human is cruel seems right, isnt it?

What a strangeI an what a revolutionary plan!

After reading the parchnt for 5 minutes, Mr.Bierstedt raised his head and remarked.

His reaction didnt surprise . Since if its items that are usually circulated in the market you can just buy them in the capital but search for a new item? Thats practically just an expedition. Its not an idea that is usually thought of by a noble.

As you know the recent stampede is different than the usual stampede.

Yes. I have heard about it.

It makes curious about how much he knows. The information network of a rchant cant be underestimated. Among people who know information from the royal palace so of them are loose-lipped. Plus not many n will remain tight-lipped in front of alcohol and won.

If theres a first ti, there might be a second and a third ti in the future.

I can only say this much. He might know about the demon kings revival but neither he nor I will talk about it.

And for so reason, people seem to think of as a military man recently.

I have heard of your recent achievents. Despite your age, you have an outstanding judgnt in a war.

Thank you.

His flattery was obvious the virtue of modesty and humility isnt needed in this world so I just accepted his flattery.

Anyway, thats the reason I want to gather so equipnt. I hope you understand.

Theres a risk of another demon outbreak while my house, which is always seen as a house of civil officers is suddenly being expected to take a military role. Its impossible for to gather excellent knights on short notice so the least I can do is to gather good equipnt.

Thats the pretext I said to Mr.Bierstedt but the truth is I want to gather high-quality equipnt that in the ga can only be purchased at the late ga.

I shall accept your request then, but as its a quite difficult task so I will ask for a handso compensation.

I know that. For now, I want you to deliver 8 weapons of each type and 8 armor of each type to the Zeaverts house. I will cover the cost.

If possible I also want to buy equipnt for soldiers of the royal palace but that has to wait for later. I an, the amount of money I had isnt enough to even provide the equipnt for all soldiers of Zeaverts army, let alone the entire royal palace.

My plan is to present half of the equipnt to the Crown Prince because my current priority is to make the upper echelons of the kingdoms move by showing them what high-quality equipnt could do.

Before the demon attack on the royal palace, I need to make sure to equip the knights and soldiers with high-quality equipnt. For that, I need to push the kingdom to fork out money.

In the case we could get more equipnt than what you have requested?

If you can carry it here, I dont mind you selling it to the Comrce Guild as long as I got a cut.

Its more beneficial for if the high-quality equipnt entered the capital market rather than monopolizing it.

Its because in the current state of affairs introducing the existence of high-quality equipnt is much more important than money. If everyone knows the existence of high-quality equipnt then the future battle situation with the demon king army might change. Plus, I wont lose too much because the amount of additional equipnt that the rchant can bring is probably only a few.

In the ga, theres an inventory system so I can carry around many armors. I rember that I hoarded expensive armor drops so I can sell them later on. But this world didnt have that kind of convenient inventory system.

Though magic bags can carry many items existed in this world but its really expensive. If it was Mr.Bierstedt then he might be able to gather so.

But there are several towns on the list that I have never heard of before.

I will provide a map. I also have an official permit from the Crown Prince to cross the border.

At the ntion of a map, Mr.Bierstedts eye lit up. Thats a rchant for you. For him to be unable to conceal his interest in front of a young person like , the value of the map must be really high.

Will you give the map as well?

Soone of the Counts household will take it and that person will guide you to the towns. You wont need direction to go to the towns for a second ti, right?

Of course not.

Well, he didnt pester . He must be afraid I left and ended up offering this business to another rchant.

He didnt ask where I got the map. Its because I said Ive gotten the Crown Princes official permission to cross the border. He probably thought that the map I have is provided

I dont know how long I can continue to hide the actual source of the map from the sly rchant.

We also will not know if the actual quality of equipnt available in the list of towns you have given before we went there.

Thats a given.

The equipnt are sold in the various towns back when I played the ga but I dont know if the sa equipnt are sold in this world. I already expected that they might be so equipnt that didnt exist in the ga.

In the ga, despite the fact the enemy that appeared in the towns and villages I listed in the demonskin parchnt are strong but those villages and towns didnt get destroyed. I suspected that the availability of high-ranking equipnt is why those villages and towns can protect themselves from demons. That ans as long as those villages and towns existed and survived in the real world the chance that the equipnt I wanted also existed is rather high.

I can obtain the equipnt without any difficulties then. All I need now is ti. Once I got the equipnt and proven the superiority of high-quality equipnt the kingdom will also make move to buy them. Still, the ga events will continue to happen and this world will get more and more dangerous.

If that happens, the places I want to buy the equipnt from might beco inaccessible in the future. Thats why I need to buy the equipnt now. Ti is of the essence.
