Chapter 126.2
Her clear light blue hair was peeking out from the hood she wore.
“It’s your own fault that bad rumours are spreading. You’re running a scam-like business, and it’s wrong because it’s always cheating travellers…….” (girl)
The girl put her hands on the ground while firmly replying.
Hearing this, the merchant’s eyes peeled back in anger.
“You bitch! Oi! You’ll pay for that. I’ll make sure you never show your face again.”
The people passing by looked at them for a moment to see what the commotion was about, but they turned their gazes away, not wanting to get involved, and quickly left the place.
Apparently, they have a bad reputation in this town but more importantly, did he say informant?
“I guess that good luck just kicked in.” (Arnos)
“Eh…….?” (Sasha)
I walked over to the merchant while Sasha looked at me blankly.
“I think that’s far enough. If you are a merchant, go and engage in business. There is no money to be made by kicking those who have no will to fight.” (Arnos)
The merchant looked at me sullenly as I stood between him and the girl.
“Who the hell are you? Do you know this informant?” (merchant)
“No. It’s just that your behaviour is unbearable to watch.” (Arnos)
“Hahaha. Since you don’t know me you must be a visitor here. Just so you know that girl is a liar. After all, she’s a ridiculous fraud who claims to have seen a forest that doesn’t exist. I don’t know if it’s Ahartherun or what but no one’s ever seen it.” (merchant)
The girl glares at the merchant.
“Ahartherun exits. You just don’t believe it.” (girl)
Fumu. Ahartherun on the first try. We’ve got a winner somehow.
“Did you hear that? I don’t think it’s a good idea to be on the side of this lying girl. I won’t say anything more so just get the hell out of here.” (merchant)
“Sorry but I have business with that girl. You should disappear.” (Arnos)
The merchant was momentarily taken aback by my words.
“What’s the matter? Walk away now, and I’ll let you off the hook.” (Arnos)
“……Tch….. that’s why these travellers are…… Such a pain. I’ll tell you abut the customs of this town.” (merchant)
“Hehe.”
His group of thugs surround me.
“Sorry about this but you’ll going to break a bone or two.”
“In this town, we have our own customs.”
“We won’t kill you as long as you don’t resist.”
They all raise their voices at me.
*Kuku* *Kukukuku* *Kuhahahahaha*
These guys are the weakest people I’ve fought since I reincarnated.
What are they even doing with this much magic power? It’s so low it feels like dust.
“What the hell you laughing a—”
“Kuhahaha” (Arnos)
“Guuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
My laughter which I embued with magic power echoed in the air, swirling and blasting the three men about a hundred meters away.
“Urg…. ah….. Geeeeh!?”
The merchant’s eyes widened, his nostrils flared, and his mouth gaped so wide that his jaw looked like it could touch the floor. He looked on at the scene with a look of utter astonishment.
“Oh, I’m sorry. You said something so funny I couldn’t help but laugh. (Arnos)
“……. A laugh….. flew away…….No, their whole bodies……” (merhcant)
The merchant could barely speak.
“….Yo….yo…..you, what the hell are you guys doing!? Get up! Were gonna finish him off….!!” (merchant)
The thugs who fell down didn’t move an inch though the merchant raised his voice at them. I don’t think they’ll wake up for two or three days.
“Now then. You said you were going to teach me the customs of this city? (Arnos)
The merchant backed away at my words.
“…..Please…… For today…… With this” (merchant)
With an overwhelmingly quick change of attitude, the merchant took out dozens of gold coins from his pocket.
“Hou? Is that okay?” (Arnos)
The merchant gave me an ingratiating smile
“Hehehe. Money is the key that opens all doors. You can do anything in this world as long as you have money. If you want you can be my bodyguard mister. With your skills this much is nothing.” (merchant)
“I think you’ve got the wrong idea.” (Arnos)
“Eh?” (merchant)
I drew a magic formation on the merchant who had a dumb look on his face.
Once complete it was quickly absorbed into his body and almost immediately the gold coins in his hands began to crumble and rot away.
“….Eh… Geeeh!! What the hell…..!!?” (merchant)
“I’ve cursed you. You will never be able to touch money again.” (Arnos)
“….Wha….what are you talking about!? That’s ridiculous…….!!” (merchant)
The merchants face flickers between different emotions as he takes more gold coins out of his pocket but every time he holds a gold coin in his hand, it crumbles to pieces.
“……Crumbling…. My money…….. crumbling…… my money is crumbling….. crumbling….. crumbling!!” (merchant)
The merchants face turned pale as all his gold crumbled away.
I guess he’s calculated what his future life will be like.
“Don’t be so depressed. I’ve got something good to tell you.” (Arnos)
The merchant looks at me with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
“Money isn’t the world.”
