「All right. Then do exactly like you said.」
「Of course.」
After hearing all of the information about the auctions from Luke, I returned to the Adventurers Guild in Palmasque, where the girls have already been waiting for when I arrived.
Each of them has a mirror in their hands, and Sherry has a big smile on her face. The necklaces seem to have sold without any problems, it would seem.
「Welco back. It looks like things went well on your end.」
Without waiting to listen to their reply, we returned to our house via Zabir’s Labyrinth. Sherry then gives a report of what they were doing as I put the mirrors in the store room.
「First of all, the rchant’s wife in Palmasque introduced us to the woman who was formally a representative on the City Council Committee. She lives in a simple yet elegant mansion.」
「It was amazing.」
「It was big, desu.」
「After seeing the mansion, I thought I might be able to get forty gold coins for the necklace out of her , but it didn’t work out and we couldn’t get that far. However, as a special price for being introduced by the mirror rchant’s wife, she offered to give us thirty eight gold coins for it.」
Originally the plan was to get around thirty-five gold coins, but Sherry managed to get thirty eight instead of thirty five. As expected of her negotiating skills. And not only that, but she also managed to additionally gain favor with the mirror rchant’s wife, so she’s quite shrewd herself.
「Well done, girls. You did great today.」
「Thank you very much, master, but that’s not it just yet. As promised, the second necklace was sold to the rchant’s wife’s friend for twenty-five gold coins. Everything went well, and both of them were pleased. I told the rchant’s wife this one was a little smaller, and it all went perfectly.」
Even if they are friends, will the friend of the mirror rchant’s wife be happy with an Amber Necklace that is slightly smaller than her friend’s? Or maybe it’s going to be completely fine? After all, a friendship between two won is a strange and complicated thing.
「That’s amazing. You’ve done well, Sherry.」
「Thank you very much, master.」
With that, I have received sixty-three gold coins, and twenty silver coins from Sherry.
The silver coins are the price of the small boxes made out of the wood from Talem. Sherry seems to have sold them without rcy as well, as a result of which I have made a pretty significant profit out of this entire endeavor.
With that, I don’t think that I’ll need to rely on getting the White Magic Crystal anymore.
「Ah yes, of course it happened right when I stopped worrying about it.」
After hunting so monsters in the Labyrinth the following morning, I checked my backpack when we had a break from fighting at noon, and when I did, I noticed that my Yellow Magic Crystal has turned into a White Magic Crystal.
Light will be followed by shadows, huh? N-No, this isn’t sothing bad by any ans! Do not even think that for a second! That being said, bad things might happen in the future so I should be prepared and not let myself get carried away just because sothing good like that has happened to .
「What happened, master?」
「Do you want to see it for yourself?」
I pulled out the White Magic Crystal which had turned white, and showed it to Roxanne. Yes, The White Magic Crystal. It’s finally been completed.
「It’s amazing! As expected of Master.」
「It’s the first ti I’ve seen one myself.」
「As expected of master, desu.」
This will be really good. If anyone extrely good shows up in the auction I will be prepared to buy them without having to worry about the funds!
「Then I’ll go and sell it in the guild this evening.」
「Un, yes.」
Roxanne looks puzzled and tilts her head for so reason.
The three of them don’t really seem to understand what just happened here. I seem to be the only one who fully understands what an amazing thing just occurred. And Sherry, I want you to stop looking at with such suspicious eyes, because I did nothing that would warrant you looking at like that!
Anyway, in the evening I went to Quratar’s Explorers Guild in order to sell the White Magic Crystal there. Quratar’s Explorers Guild is the largest one that I know about, and that’s part of my plan.
The evening is the busiest ti of the day in the Explorer’s Guild, so even if I go sell my White Magic Crystal there, the transaction itself should go by relatively unnoticed, or at least that’s what I am hoping for.
I put the White Magic Crystal, Yellow Magic Crystal and the other items that I wanted to sell on the tray at the desk.
I add to that the Nourishnt dicine and Strengthening dicine I had in my Item Box. Now that I am selling more than just one thing, my 「Thirty Percent Discount」 bonus is guaranteed to pop off. Even though it is called a discount, when I sell things at the Guilds, it actually works as a multiplier to the amount of money that I am receiving.
In this world, there is apparently sothing called the platinum coin, which has a value equivalent to that of one hundred gold coins.
I haven’t seen one for as long as I have been living here, of course.
A White Magic Crystal is worth one million Nars, so my guess is that one platinum coin is going to be worth exactly that: one million Nars. And so, the probability of receiving a platinum coin after selling the White Magic Crystal is pretty big.
If I sell the white magic crystal with sothing and get the thirty percent bonus, then I am going to get not only one platinum coin, but also thirty gold coins as well.
The downside of it might be that the staff of the Guild might think that a proceeding like that is more than a little strange. They might even start asking questions like: where did that thirty gold coins co from? What are they doing here?
That being said, if I can gat my hands on such a hefty amount of money, then of course I’m going to do anything in my power to get it. But since selling just my Magic Crystals would definitely get noticed, then the solution is quite simple here: all I have to do is to sell enough of the other items together with the Magic Crystals to conceal the bonus!
I wonder if this is going to work out though? Oh well, I just have to have a go at it and try, right?
From all the items that I have put into the tray, the Yellow Magic Crystal alone is worth ten gold coins. My discount is also effective, but still, maybe it would be better if I just sold the White Magic Crystal alone without anything else? But I have already provided quite a lot of other items, which should make for a nice distraction.
Like that, I waited in front of the counter until the female receptionist returned to with the money on a tray. So far, she doesn’t appear to be suspicious of anything just yet, which should an that I am currently in the clear.
Yes, everything is going to be fine. I just have to be confident about it and believe in it.
There is one platinum coin in the tray. It has an appearance similar to an ordinary silver coin, but in truth, it is sothing that is even more amazing than a gold coin. The platinum coin is bigger than the silver one, and its color is much more distinct and eye-catching, so it’s imdiately distinguishable from the silver coin.
So this is a platinum coin, huh? I don’t know why, but looking at it now, it feels as if I have suddenly beco filthy rich. Well, I guess I actually did, so feelings like that should not be entirely out of place for I guess.
I quickly put the platinum coin and the gold coins in my Item Box before anyone else can see them.
Next, I slide the remaining silver coins and copper coins into my backpack, and then leave the Explorers Guild in a hurry, going to the Adventurers Guild as fast as I possibly could. I’m sure that I’m behaving very suspiciously right now, but I cannot help behaving like that because I’m not used to having so much money on .
「I don’t think anyone is coming after us.」
