Reincarnated Hero System

Chapter 225 Negotiating With The Guild

'Besides, Laurene's skill doesn't work through magic projections, not at stage one or two.'

So, the young hero had no qualms in telling the Emperor this fabricated story, not knowing that Emperor had most likely deduced Evan was lying about the issue and had acquired his information from another source.

He still wasn't aware that Rudeus knew he was a hero after all.

After telling the Emperor to send his regards to the Duke and Duchess, Evan left the magic tower and boarder a carriage to the adventurer's guild building, intending on submitting the materials for the quests that his group accepted before entering the dungeon.

"There are two sets of materials, though the states of one set is nothing to write home about.,"

The receptionist at the guild bluntly told Evan as she sorted through the frost boar king corpses that Evan had popped out of his inventory in the guild warehouse.

Considering their size, they obviously could not be pulled out when in the guild hall so Evan was led to the warehouse with a few of the guild's dismantlers coming over to begin working on the corpses.

"Oh, yeah.

For these three specific wolves, I want their pelts. I need to use them to make winter coats. I'd come back for those later in the day.

Also, can you recommend anywhere I can get a winter coat made before the weekend?"

"Before the weekend? That's a harsh deadline. Any place that can meet that would most likely charge you triple.

Are you sure you still want that?"

Evan pondered on it for a moment before bringing out a few more monster magic stones and corpses, dropping them on the floor and causing the jaws of the receptionist, the dismantlers and the vice guild master who just walked in to drop in shock.

"There's no way that all of that fit inside a magic bag."

The first to recover was the receptionist who calmly spoke while Evan only tilted his head to the side before replying.

"I never said explicitly stated I was using a magic bag."

The thirteen-year-old didn't even bother hiding his inventory skill in the first place as he kept on pulling out multiple bags of magic stones from his inventory.

"Stop, Stop, Stoppp!!"

"Huh? Stop what? And why?"

In response to his questions, the vice guild master wiped the sweat that had formed from seeing Evan pull out so many materials before replying.

"Stop casually tossing out bags of magic stones.

From the quality of the magic power in them, most of them are C-rank magic stones and they're quite pricey.

If I let you continue, I have this weird feeling you're going to make this branch use up its daily budget on just you alone.

We can't have that happen as there are other adventurers out there who are coming over to sell us mother materials too."

"Oh...that kind of thing exists?

Makes sense though."

Evan's nodded lightly upon hearing the vice guild master's words, while the man was busy trying to understand why Evan had so many monster materials and magic stones on hand.

If only he knew that the young hero in front of him was someone insane enough to challenge a monster room multiple times in a day.

He looked Evan over and then turned his gaze to the frost boar king corpses, studying them a bit before asking.

"How many party members do you have?"

"Two, Why?"

"Nothing serious. Just that you three have to be quite strong to reach floor thirty and even challenge the boss twice, all in just one month."

The vice guild master here was someone who was nearly level 400, far stronger than the Geto city Guild master that Evan had met before and was comparable to the upper ranks of the ten great swordsmen of the great western empire.

He was also a skilled mage in his own right and was able to easily identify multiple magic power traces on the corpses of the monsters Evan had brought out.

Naturally, he could also easily see through Evan's level of strength and was able to make assumptions about what the boy's companions could be on.

"You brought quite a lot for us in large quantities and considering that this is a city that burns through magic stones like water, the guild is more than happy to buy these stones off your hands."

He placed his hand on his chin and sunk into his thoughts for a few seconds before telling Evan to call over his party members.

"It's so I can collectively raise your ranks using my authority, strong adventurers are always welcome in the guild and it would be good if everyone has ranks that are appropriate to their strength and credibility level."

Pointing at the adventurer guild card in the hands of the receptionist, he continued.

"That's yours, right? That D rank card doesn't match your level of strength at all, and if your party members are the same as you then it is even worse.

Since you are strong, it would be good for the guild if you can take on higher-level quests, however, if you are unable to accept those quests because of your low rank despite having the necessary ability, that'd be bad.

So I'd help you out and skip all the tedious processes required to be C rank, but in return, you'd sell all these materials to the guild at a discounted price.

Let's say...25%."

"Huh?!"

Evan let out a strange sound upon hearing the vice guild master's final words, before retorting with a loud voice.

"I know I may be younger than you are but I wasn't born yesterday, you know?

There's no way I'd agree to that. 25% is too much.

At most 10%."

In response to the young hero's statement, the vice guild master wiped clicked his tongue and spoke.

"10%? Are you for real?

Even if you wanted to lower it, 10% is too low. Sell it to us for 22%."

The young hero narrowed his eyes at the man before replying.

"12%."

"20% Can't go any lower."

"14% Can't go any higher."

"This kid...Fine, 19%."

"This old man. Fine 15%."

The moment the '15%' left Evan's mouth, the vice guild master suddenly revealed a bright smile as he replied.

"That was my goal from the start."

"Huh?"
