"Even though I brought you extra servant beast eggs, did you hatch all the ones I gave you before...?"
When I opened the woods, spread out the fields and spent some time at dawn in riding training, a merchant came back to the village.
They brought me a new beast egg, as I had previously contracted.
At that time, I was terribly surprised when I told him that all the eggs I had received had been hatched.
Because the merchant predicted that only one or two of them had hatched yet.
Apparently, the beast eggs I grow are growing up pretty fast.
It may be the effect of Magic Injection .
It usually takes more than a month to hatch an egg to naturally absorb and grow the magic of that person.
Moreover, it is said to be time-consuming because it does not progress simultaneously even with multiple eggs.
That's why I was surprised to see a service beast who was already an adult.
"In the meantime, you can sell it now. What do you think? Or do you think you could buy me something?
"Hmm? Oh. Yeah, that's right. To tell you the truth, I didn't mean to sell it at first."
"Hmm? So, you're just going to try it on your own?
"That's true, but not this time. Give it to someone for free."
Huh?
You just said, "This beast can definitely be sold," and you're going to give it for free?
I couldn't understand what a merchant meant.
"Fufufufu. Don't you see? Ars is still a kid."
"What is it? If you tell a woman to give you a present, she'll think about terminating the contract."
"No, no, no. It's not like that."
"Then what are you going to do?"
"Give it to me. To the nobles who rule this land."
"To the nobles?
"That's right. Do you remember what I said before?
"... what?
"Travelers in villages like mine don't have connections for expensive stuff."
Speaking of which, I don't think I've heard it.
What was it?
I took the word of a peddler and tried to dig back my memory.
Speaking of which, I once asked a merchant to buy white porcelain and glassware at a higher price.
However, they paid me several times the price of the usual daily utensils, but they didn't look at it as a luxury product.
This is partly due to the fact that the trader did not have a helper to sell the dishes at a high price.
It takes a lot of credibility for a nobleman to buy goods in a place where a class of nobles exists.
Large shops are usually exclusively responsible for dealing with aristocrats.
Most items are available on the noble side when ordered from a dedicated shop, and because of their long-standing trading creditworthiness, the risk of being caught by bad items is also reduced.
Instead of being able to monopolize business with nobles, if there is any roughness, they will be held responsible for it.
You must earnestly do business for that amount.
Since sellers and buyers have strong connections in this way, it is difficult for new recruits to enter.
Naturally, there are no pipes with nobles in pedestrians who come to our village.
No matter how much I claimed I could sell the dishes I made, I never bought them for the price I wanted.
Because if it's so expensive, you can only sell it to a noble opponent, and you can't even meet the right person to sell it.
But not this time.
This time, I lifted it as a product not because I made the dishes myself, but because it is a ridable service beast that is recognized as valuable and useful in this world.
There is definitely demand.
You can definitely sell it anywhere.
Then, why do we talk about donating instead of selling it?
It is also related to the social situation.
Fighting is happening quite frequently here.
And ridable service beasts can be a huge factor in winning battles.
It will be a strategic asset if I say so.
What if we ignore the aristocrats who rule this land and sell it to hostile aristocracy?
First of all, there is no doubt that there is no life for all involved.
If so, we cannot ignore the business of nobility.
Therefore, there was a judgment by the trader that it would be better to give it away free of charge before making the first transaction.
If you like it, it will also lead to future purchases, and above all it will be a powerful connection with the nobles.
Perhaps it will create a connection to other nobles.
It seems that there are calculations for those intentions.
"That's why I'm going to that noble house next time. Tell your father that."
Apparently, the trader also thinks this deal is a big opportunity.
It seems that I am not the only one who will sell it, but I am not the only one who breeds the beast, and I am taking him to my father, who is the guardian, to greet the noble family.
This is how I first went out of the village.
