Chapter 170
The carriage that had followed me tenaciously until I moved to the dwarf district and arrived at Mr. Valkun’s shop finally headed to another place only after the crowds gradually gathered.
‘Now wait a minute. It’s not like that. It’s not that I’m selling this fan, but the sentence…’
Should I say naive or clumsy? Or should I say stupid?
In the meantime, I didn’t show a coercive attitude, so to be honest, the expression ‘stupid’ is too harsh.
Contrary to the first appearance of trying to catch the weight, I didn’t look at it even though I didn’t look at it, and I didn’t know who the woman who looked like a butler was driving the carriage, but it was certain that it was a royal family.
Considering the uniqueness of being a royal family, it would be appropriate to say that they are clumsy.
“Even though I couldn’t eat soft tofu as soon as I got out of prison, I almost got lucky.”
Wasn’t satisfied with the fact that the rebels were broken in half and cut in half? I haven’t even met the king yet, but it gives me goosebumps that the royal family is trying to cling to them all of a sudden.
It’s not like I don’t have a goal in life, so why am I so busy that something keeps coming and sticking me? Whether it’s just to say thank you or a warning, it’s best not to get involved.
“There are quite a few guests today.”
When I entered Mr. Valkun’s shop, which was hot from the entrance and looked around, it was crowded with customers for some reason. When I usually visit, the time zone is always in the middle of the day, so I haven’t seen this kind of sight?
Since Mr. Valkun is a craftsman anyway, I thought that he would be far from the crowds, so I was about to enter the smithy as usual when someone blocked my way.
“Excuse me, customer! This place is off-limits! All merchandise is on display, so please shop here!”
Come to think of it, this was the first time I had ever seen anyone who could be called an employee of this store. A young woman wearing a very neat uniform, whether she was working at a blacksmith’s shop or not, clearly blocked the road leading to the blacksmith’s with a single smile on her face.
I’m going through a lot of embarrassing things today. Anxiety crept over me, wondering if I had been a little shameless until now, but I explained the situation to the employee who stood in my way to check it out.
“I’m here to meet Mr. Balkun…”
“Armor production through Mr. Balkun is operated on a reservation basis. Did you make a reservation before coming?”
“Eh, a reservation?”
I didn’t even have to look in the mirror to see what my expression looked like. It was obvious that he was making a really stupid face.
You said Mr. Valkun was an artisan working by appointment? I’ve been pampering myself with my friend’s pass until now…?
I don’t know how she accepted my feelings, but the female employee nodded as if she knew that and guided me naturally.
“You don’t have to feel awkward! Many swordsmen visit to see Mr. Valkun, but they are embarrassed because they do not know this fact. Of course, I fully understand his feelings! The equipment he makes is for decoration, which even nobles want to line up to buy. Everything is a masterpiece, from everything from knights and warriors to combat use!”
I don’t know what the heck you’re understanding, but I know you don’t understand anything.
Leaving me bewildered, the female employee worked hard to comfort me and secretly tried to make me turn my attention to other things, but since I came here in the first place, I sold the useless swords of Guish and Envelde and tried to find a dagger that could be used as a secondary weapon, so it was a futile attempt. was only
“First of all, I want to sell this sword and look at the goods.”
“As expected, he’s the one who came to visit Mr. Valkun! We even offer the best purchase price!”
An employee who is more sincere than anyone else in sales. Once I was guided by her and headed to the unusually secluded counter, a middle-aged man wearing round glasses and reading a newspaper looked at me with sullen eyes.
“How long have you been looking for it?”
“I came without thinking.”
Still, since they were nobles and knights, I expected them at first, but the anticipation had already evaporated a long time ago when the quality was inferior to that of my sword that Mr. Valkun sold me.
Ignoring the stare at the eccentric, I placed the sword of Gish and the sword of Enbelde on the table. Contrary to the sullen expression, the man with glasses began to examine the sword with a very careful movement.
Is it a corporation where artisans gather by the side of artisans? Everyone is serious about their work. It looks good.
“It’s been quite a while… It’s a very well-used sword. It’s even well-made. Can’t you just use it as a sidearm?”
“Because it didn’t fit my hand.”
“Hmm, it looks like you’re using a good sword.”
Even though it seemed like he was talking nonchalantly, his eyes briefly moved to the sword that remained on my waist. Then, after pretending to be thinking about something, he nodded as if he was generous and mentioned the price.
“Combined, I’ll give you two gold coins.”
“…yes?”
two gold coins? Aren’t you saying two silver coins wrong? Unknowingly, I failed to manage my expression, so when I looked at it with a questionable expression, Glasses Man interpreted my intention backwards.
“Isn’t it used after all? They paid this much. At least it had a high chance of becoming an enchantment, so I called it high.”
I think I was surprised that it was so cheap. Still, it seems that Gish and Envelde did not save money on weapons.
To be honest, it was hard to believe that these two maggot swords were being sold at the same price as Valkun’s sword, but I was able to figure out why the price was so high, so I decided to dig into that part.
“No, this enchantment is unconditional, right?”
The man’s eyes flinched slightly at my words that came out without hesitation.
enchantment. In general, it means one-time enchantment, but in this armor store, it means equipment that has been enchanted. Like the cursed ring I received from Esmuer or my gauntlet.
Also, although I don’t know the specific principle, it is said that the more well-made the weapon, the easier it is to enchant. The easier it is, the easier it is to engrave the enchantment firmly, so even second-hand items that can be permanently enchanted are sold at good prices depending on their condition.
I knew up to that point through Asilier’s common sense education, but I didn’t know how much that good price was. Mr. Valkun’s sword was a gold coin, so I thought I could play with a silver coin at best.
“Eh, looking at you like you don’t know anything.”
The man with glasses licked his lips in regret and placed four gold coins on the counter.
“It’s real this time. More than this, this side is also very profitable.”
crazy crazy crazy This is the last gift for Gish and Envelde, who became good after dying! This was the reason why Ragnis had strong doubts about the dwarves’ sense of money after seeing my sword!
The thought that someone related to the two might show up claiming ownership of the sword crossed my mind briefly, but my hand grabbed the money on the counter faster than that.
“Thanks for the good deal. Can I ask you something about this?”
“This is not an information store.”
“I know. I want to get some daggers similar to this sword.”
Saying that, I pulled out my sword and put it on the counter. The man with glasses looked at the sword while pretending not to be interested, and his face crumpled in an instant.
“Ah Mr. Balkun, you were a guest.”
“Wow, can you tell by just glancing at that?”
“I’m an enchanter. I’m watching the dwarf’s alchemy ceremony in the sword. Wait. I’ll call Mr. Valkun.”
“The staff said earlier that you have to make a reservation…”
“That’s just like people asking for a new one. Why would an already verified customer need something like that?”
Oh, the truth must have been for blocking customers.
A man with glasses entered the smithy while he nodded his head in agreement at once, and shortly thereafter appeared with Mr. Balkun.
“Oh, it must have been Eldmia. You want to see the dagger?”
As he approached, he lightly greeted Mr. Balkun, who gestured while wiping his sweat with a towel, as if he was at work.
“I just want to ‘see’ for now. I don’t think I can afford the price.”
When I showed the gold coin I had just received to Mr. Balkun, who looked puzzled at my answer, he let out a familiar laugh. Then he quickly looked around and asked in a low voice.
“…You didn’t tell me how much I paid for it, did you?”
This guy was the type to spend too much on his hobby!
“How can I say that? I’ll keep my mouth shut forever.”
“As expected, Gin brought a friend. He’s special.”
He’s my benefactor, but I can turn a blind eye to his overspending! It’s not even my money.
“By the way, it’s a dagger of the same level as that sword… I haven’t made anything right now, but there must be some leftover materials from making it. I’ve been wondering if there’s any other way to use it. can make it.”
custom order! this is precious
At Mr. Valkun’s suggestion, the plan in my head began to be revised.
“Then, there’s another form I want…”
I don’t know what sword swordsmanship is, but it might be possible to do pin panel.
