"Can you sell Armored Lizard materials or something?
That's what they asked me, and I nodded instantly.
"Of course! Did you crusade Armored Lizard? Excellent. Adventurers are also powerful enemies who don't like to fight!
Unexpected extraordinary income. I didn't expect such valuable material to be available in a village like this.
I thought so, and I was happy to put my hands together with Rango. I thought it was a big deficit, but it's a hell of a miscalculation. Thank God.
I follow Master Van with Rango and Hokhok's face and head to the material warehouse that he built near the entrance and exit. It was a large two-story building, on the far corner of the right from the entrance to the village.
Are you devising to keep the material out of the sun or wind and rain? I thought so, I went inside admirably, and I was stunned.
"Oh, oh, um... what's this? No way, did you get out twenty meters or thirty meters Armored Lizard?
I give you a dry laugh when Rango says something stupid. But there was a sight in front of me that I couldn't fool around with.
The building I thought was two stories tall was an unusually high ceiling, so tall that it was likely to be on its ceiling and loaded with armored lizard skin. There are other piles of claws, piles of fangs, piles of bones, and piles of demonic nuclei like stone.
Seeing that, Master Van asks with a smile.
"Thirty bandits were also captured when crusading about forty Armored Lizards. I suppose you could have those people picked up and carried the material, but what do you think? Oh, I'll get a luggage truck."
"Hey, hey, this number... if you could just give me some time, a month later... no, I'll be collecting manpower from the Chamber of Commerce in four weeks, so could you please wait?
"Oh, I'm fine. Because meat is delicious for everyone."
That's what they said, and I remembered the existence of the flesh of Armored Lizard. This is the amount of skin. Even if they say they can't take a comparable amount, they'll probably be sorry for ten or twenty tons.
In other words, a hundred or two people can't consume it and let it rot.
"Meat...... if it's good, would you mind dropping by the next village for sale and returning? The price would be helpful if you could sell it a little cheaper"
When I heard that, Master Van raised one eyebrow.
"The village next door? You think you can afford Armored Lizard meat?
I guess I really wondered, not disgusted. That's what they said strangely. I smile bitterly at it and I turn my palm of one hand up.
"No, it's a poor village. However, if they collect taxes this year, they won't be able to store them, so they were asking for food..."
If you can sell Armored Lizard materials in one hand later, you can collect them well enough. That's what I thought, and I thought about handing out free meat to the next village.
But Master Van looks at my face jiggly and shakes his neck to the left and right.
"If it's meat, it'll probably rot half of it. It's okay for free. You don't seem to make a lot of money either."
That's what they said to me in a bitter mix of laughter, and I breathed unexpectedly.
"... very helpful. Instead, let's pay more for the bandits. I'll pay you four silver coins per person."
Twelve gold coins. It's a broken price from us merchants. Buying it on the spot and selling it as it is makes little profit. If we take him home from such a periphery, it wouldn't be profitable if the sale price wasn't one gold coin per person.
The nobility will not understand, but as for this one, it is in the utmost sincerity.
In contrast, Master Van nodded lightly and laughed.
"Thank you. Instead, if you'll ever come to this village again, I'll make you a deal you won't regret. For example, high-quality weapons."
That's what they tell me, and I tilt my neck.
"Besides advanced designers and amazing carpenters, did you bring them to this village, even to the blacksmith?
To my surprise, Master Van narrowed his eyes with pleasure.
It was a brilliant sword.
While overdecorated, the sword does unleash something like intimidation as a weapon.
I still don't know exactly what the good and bad of the weapon is, but first I was found to be well worth it as a work of art.
"What do you think, the value as a weapon"
When asked by experts, Air, who was handed the sword, continued to look at himself as fascinated and did not react until he was heard by a fellow adventurer named Ort.
Air cuts the surface of the skin with his own knife when an ortho with a grin applied to it offers the skin of an armored lizard.
But it only went in like a small line of scratches. When I am stunned, Air nods quietly.
"Sure, that's Armored Lizard skin. Can I try and kill you?
"Fine."
When Air asks, Master Van acknowledges it in a relaxed atmosphere. A little anxious, Air added that stunning long sword to the surface of the armored lizard skin.
And then I pull it off as I push it.
"Huh!? Then, stupid!
Shortly afterwards, Air opens his eyes and startles, letting his sword off his skin. What happened was that hard armored lizard skin cut off perfectly.
"It was like even chicken was enough to cut!?
"Isn't that amazing?
To Air's surprise, Ort grinned and pointed at his own hips.
There, a sword of the same atmosphere is bestowed upon it.
"It's a special order of five gold coins. They made it long and thick for me to swing easily. Can you believe that? This is an iron sword."
"That's five gold coins!? Too cheap! I'll buy one too! No spears!?
Olt laughs at the air of great excitement.
"He's an important partner who keeps his life. If you want to order, you better think about the shape and weight as firmly as you can. I'll tell you what, there's something lighter and stronger coming. If you want to make a part that you can take, you can cut that part off, right?
"I see... it's because it's too cut..."
To Olt's advice, Air pinched his jaw with one hand and leaned slightly. Saw the air thinking in roar, I said.
"... sounds broken even as a weapon. Buy this one at a worthy price too. I just still can't take the amount home. I'm sorry about this too..."
"Oh, I'll be fine later."
"Thank you"
I bowed my head deeply.
Then we toured the city and bought Lady Van seasonings, liquor and daily necessities.
This one gets too much, but I gave it all away with a piece of Armored Lizard meat and a dagger for personal use.
"Good, brother..."
That's what they say, let me buy another dagger personally. It was with three gold coins.
Rango looks at the sword he has just bought, like a child, and makes him happy. It's already eighteen, so I want you to calm down.
I laughed bitterly and thought of that, seared and ate Armored Lizard meat, and was stunned again.
If you notice, I am totally captivated by this village and twist my head about what I will do in the future.
It will be after I return to the Chamber of Commerce and talk to the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, but it is probably best to open a shop in this village.
However, it is mandatory to go back and forth with the seller.
"... Rango. I'm going to hang with the chairman of the chamber of commerce and ask him to organize a medium-sized caravan, how about that?
"Good idea. Or we could make two teams of three carriages and come to this village every two weeks."
"Right... in which case we'll rendezvous in a town or village on the way..."
I talked about it a lot and laughed out both ways.
