Chapter 119 Merchant Selection
Chapter 119 Merchant Selection
"Even so, my noble lord, we have never received such a commission, so we cannot do it. We only accepted the escort work for the merchants, we can't do anything else, do you understand?" Although somewhat concessionary, an older adventurer stepped forward and said.
“Don’t look down on me. I have a badge too. I don’t think it’s for nothing.”
"Then there's nothing to say..."
"Shut up! Just because you weren't directly involved doesn't mean you're innocent! You're guilty of the same crime just because you pretended you didn't see anything!"
"How ridiculous! There is no such law in Phrygia?"
The increasingly excited adventurer seemed to have forgotten that the man in front of him was a noble from Phrygia, and his words became increasingly rude.
"No, indeed. But once you return to Lionkia, you must report to the Adventurer's Guild. Have you forgotten the adventurer's obligation to contribute to society? If you ignore the crime, you will also be held accountable."
"..."
"The kingdom will definitely protest against the Adventurer's Guild. If that happens, you will destroy the reputation of the guild. What do you think will happen?"
More and more adventurers began to frown. It seemed that they were not stupid.
"Your violation of social contribution obligations will be engraved on your badge and cannot be erased. You will no longer receive escort commissions or official guild missions. You can only make money by dealing with monsters for the rest of your life. Doesn't this seem interesting?"
Tulio continued to threaten with a sinister smile. Anyway, the guard adventurers had already considered charging oral fees during the discussion, so there was no need to worry.
"Why don't you behave yourself and contribute here to try to get a better understanding of the situation? In that case, I may intercede for you. So, which option do you think is smarter? It's okay to run away, right?"
As a result, all the adventurers expressed their willingness to cooperate. A store was selected as a temporary detention center, and they took turns to monitor the arrested. But before that, they had to interview and select some available merchants. To be honest, Tulio felt that this matter was a bit troublesome.
"Do you need help?"
Ye Kai and Cham asked quietly from behind, causing Tulio to breathe a sigh of relief.
"In fact, I have asked Milum and the others to visit most of the stores and inquire about the situation."
“I didn’t see you, I thought you were doing something else.”
Considering that the situation with the human race might be different, Tulio said that they asked Milum and others to conduct an independent investigation.
"Well, Milum, can you tell me some merchants whose transaction prices are relatively reasonable?"
"OK."
Milum began to select seven from the twenty merchants.
"That's unexpected. I thought they were all in cahoots, but it seems they're not all alike."
“It looks like that. I’ll leave the follow-up confirmation to Tulio.”
"Thank you very much. It saved me the trouble."
To be honest, he was grateful because he had been prepared to hear some boring excuses. Still, now that it was said, it had to be done.
At this moment, Fino came quietly and whispered, "Mr. Tulio, you were very handsome just now. I am fascinated by you. Thank you for caring so much about the orcs."
"It's just a small matter. Leave it to me."
“You are so reliable.”
Tulio immediately perked up. This had nothing to do with Cham's arrangement; this was just his style. Nevertheless, since these were Fino's sincere words, there shouldn't be any trouble in the future.
However, he did not expect that he would be left at the team's business location. This was in line with his character.
--------------
Kiltius Kravit was surprised. It turned out that this young man who looked like an adventurer asked him to trade Neves.
He was a businessman himself. He had heard of the name Nefs. But he had no idea what it was and how it was treated in Leankia. When he expressed this candidly, he seemed ready to continue the conversation.
"Regarding this matter, I think it would be faster for you to see the real thing than to talk about it here. But the transaction will be with people from our township. Are you willing to talk to them?"
Ye Kai pointed at Trimai.
“That sounds like it, but is that okay with you? We just lost your trust.”
Ye Kai and Chaim began to worry whether Kiltis was too sincere and whether he was qualified for the job of a businessman. But in this case, they needed exactly such a person. He must be someone who could deal with the orcs sincerely.
Trimai seemed to have understood this, and a smile appeared on his face: "Thank you for your concern. If possible, I would like Trimai to do the transaction. I would like to invite you to our village, is it convenient for you?"
“I’m only dealing in wheat flour now. I think it’s hard to sell anything other than essential metal products.”
Even if he stayed here and continued his business, it was hard to expect any gains.
"Okay, then I'll buy the wheat flour I have on hand. It's a little insufficient now, and it will be necessary in the future, so it doesn't matter how much I have."
"Yeah, I didn't expect to stay in the orc settlement for so long."
Kiltis said there was still a fair amount of wheat flour, but Ye Kai said that was no problem.
When Tulio tells him to go back to Dedente first, he looks surprised (ugh!). He seems to have forgotten about this possibility. But Fino cheers him up with a "please". It's unclear if this simplicity will save him, but it will definitely help his mental health.
“No, no, we can’t take away all the wheat flour. What if someone needs it and can’t buy it?”
"Even so, it's not a good idea to let Mr. Kravit suffer."
He felt it was strange that only wheat flour was mentioned in such detail. Perhaps his previous experience in the team made him picky.
It was not until he realized that someone would bring them meals and the like, until he realized that someone would selflessly take care of them, that he realized that he felt some shame in his city life.
"Then keep half."
"Leave that part to the kingdom. I'll pay for it."
Finally, Brack reminded her that she couldn't go hunting on her own unless she got permission.
They arranged to meet in the town of Dedente.
------------------
“How boring! I didn’t buy anything!”
"Hey, hey, stop being so spoiled."
In that case, there was definitely nothing interesting to do in the team's commercial area, but they were disappointed. Although Ye Kai thought they would refute Cham, seeing that they just kept a straight face, Ye Kai knew that they understood.
