Legend

"That's another... way to meet Ray."

"Wow... can I call you Aniki to imitate that Roger?

When he talked about how Ray got a letter of introduction from Roger, Marca seemed unable to bear the laughter, and even Nicky said something different than what she said earlier, and she even asked Ray if she could call him older brother.

If Ray were to say that these two behave like that, as Lindy told me, Roger still has a lot of influence in this city called Exgenis. I'm convinced.

... as for Ray, the way we met was the worst, and there was no subsequent interaction, or impression of Roger as such.

Perhaps there are big perception differences around here, but Ray doesn't seem to have noticed anything in particular, and she carries the tea in front of her mouth.

This is a room in Hoshinogawatei, an inn Ray decided to stay in.

Rooms were ranked according to price, regardless of the hotel style.

Among other things, Ray stays in a room that ranks slightly above average.

With Ray's money, he could have stayed in the finest room.

However, Ray was satisfied in this room, even if it wasn't that much room.

However, if you're interested in the finest room, you can show it to Marka, who is staying in that room.

Marka was also the daughter of the Duke of Quentin, and she was sometimes regarded as the next-generation talented person, so appearance was important.

That's why Marca herself didn't like it, but stayed in the finest room.

Judging by Marca's character, I don't think she likes such a luxurious room.

"Roger was a smart guy, but he's still selling in Exgenis, which isn't going to be like any other golem, is it?

"That's right, but you're still one of the ones who used to make the highest performing Golem in Egginiss until the Golem came out? As long as it's easy for Ray to understand... hmm, Rank A Adventurer, that's something close to synonymous."

I understand that Ray is probably talking about himself.

When Ray came to this room and started talking, Ray had already talked about the area.

... or maybe it was about Roger that Niggle called Ray his brother, but that could have affected you.

"Is that what it is? But I don't want Roger's Golem, I want a high-performance Golem. Of course, I wish there were other golems that seemed convenient."

Among other things, Ray would be interested in the garbage golems he saw all over the city.

A golem that automatically cleans garbage would have been convenient for Marina's house.

Nevertheless, since Marina's house is comfortably arranged by the Spirit, the Spirit will clean it even if the Golem does not clean it.

"Hmm, a high-performance golem. That's what Ray was after. But... that Golem is low in productivity and small in number. Regardless of the price, it's up to honest luck to buy it. It's not the same golem that my concubine wants."

"Were you also after the rumored high-performance golem? Well, Marca's going all the way to Egginis, so maybe that's a natural area."

"To be precise, many of the people staying at this inn are targeting high-performance golem. However, there are people who are seriously aiming to buy, and people who are lucky enough to buy, so their enthusiasm will be different."

I see, Ray is convinced by the words.

In the first place, I heard that the number of high-performance golems was small.

That being the case, it is necessary to consider that you cannot naturally try to buy it.

Regardless of the aristocrats, this would be especially true if they were merchants.

I only buy golem here for business.

... but if you were a spare merchant, it wouldn't have been strange to use golem as your belongings instead of a product.

"When that happens, it depends on your luck.... is there any way that the strongest guy in the fight could buy a golem?

"I don't know why."

Marka turned a dazed eye to Ray's words.

With Marca behind her back, Niels was twitching her face.

As Marca's escort came to Egginis, if, as Ray said, the winner of the battle would be able to buy Golems, it's only natural that Marca should not go to battle.

Then it will be Niels who will go to battle.

And in the event of a fight, Niels might have to fight Ray.

Niels is also a man of enough strength to be entrusted with Marca's escort on behalf of Koan.

If the adventurers around there were opponents, they had enough skill and pride to win.

But that's only if you're dealing with adventurers around here.

I didn't think I could win against the anonymous Rank A Adventurer.

Also, Ray didn't mention the Crystal Dragon, but if he defeats the Crystal Dragon… that means it's also a Dragon Slayer, he will definitely say no to fighting from the bottom of his heart.

"What about auctions? It depends on the number of golems, but I'm a little worried."

Ray's rewards from previous requests and his savings from bandit hunting only allow him to play and live while his life is reborn several times.

But all the people gathered in the star pavilion are wealthy people like nobles and big merchants.

Of course, many of these people have assets that they cannot defeat Ray.

Those staying at this star river pavilion aren't necessarily able to buy Ray when they think they're looking to buy rare high-performance golem.

Especially in the form of an auction Ray talked about, some people offer higher amounts than usual, such as whether they can compete and lose against each other.

I think it would be better if you could decide the buyer in a way that gives you a better chance than an auction.

After all, however, it's not Ray who decides how to buy it, but the people who make the golem.

"I heard they sold it in an auction format before, but after the auction ended, there seemed to be a lot of problems. After that, they stopped doing auctions."

"That's it again...."

Somehow, I was able to predict the problem to Ray.

Auctions are a substitute for those on the spot to raise prices.

If you don't know who else is participating in the auction, like in an online auction, that may not be a problem, but if you are trading by showing each other's faces, it may be strange to attack the winning bidder after the auction ends and steal the product.

Of course, at the time of participating in such an auction, I would have the right assets, and I might have an escort... but that's not absolutely true.

"When that happens... it's not an auction, it's another way. For example, they will bring the materials that they specify. Then I might have a good chance of winning."

Ray's Mysteries contain a lot of materials.

If some of these materials are very rare, or even if Ray doesn't have them, it is advantageous for Ray to have a monster near Egginis.

"Sometimes that happens. According to what my concubine told me, it's been gone lately."

"Nuu... how do you do that?

"Well, my concubine doesn't know about it. However, some people say they can suddenly buy golem. In that sense, we might be able to figure out how the alchemists are going to sell the golem."

"I wonder how I'll be judged.... I wish I could do something with my set hair."

Ray, I'm not going to respond to any of Roger's requests to give Seto herself.

However, if it is hair or feathers, it may fall out even if Seto lives normally.

If it's such a thing, it doesn't hurt Ray to sell it as a set material.

"Lord, that's not good enough."

Marka looks at Seto's words with resentment.

Even in the Duke of Quent, Griffon materials are not so readily available.

Not to mention that seto is not just a griffon, but a rare species that uses a lot of skills.

... in fact, in addition to being created by magical beast magic, it's also a special chimera.

"Well, that's just what I was hoping for. If they don't want it, it doesn't make sense after all."

That's what Ray said, but if Roger wanted Seto's materials, he probably wanted the Alchemists.

"Besides, I have a lot to do besides the Golem thing."

"Hmm? That's what Ray should do? I'm interested."

As I said, Marka looks at Ray with an interesting gaze.

Nicky has a disgusting look on Marka's face.

"Marka, please stop sticking your neck in strange things. It's going to bother you."

But, Nicky. What's Ray got to do with this? And you're not interested?

"Uhh...."

In Marka's words, Nicky couldn't say anything.

In fact, Nicky also wonders what Ray is up to in this situation.

Ray, who came to buy the golem, gave it more priority... like what it was, Marca looked at Ray, and Nicky looked at Ray so she could catch it.

It was Ray who looked at the two of them, but there was no need to hide anything you had to do.

Alternatively, if it wasn't for Marka and the others, it might have been a distraction.

"Isn't that what you're interested in? I'm just looking for the missing adventurer."

According to the words, Marka's gaze on expectations dropped rapidly.

It's not uncommon for an adventurer to disappear.

Some people say they can't stay in Egginis for some reason and have left, or they may be dead because of a failed request.

I could think of as many other reasons for the adventurers.

Now that Marka knows that, why would Ray bother looking for someone like that? It would be natural to think of it as such.

"For the record, is the adventurer important to Ray?

"If you ask me if it's important... it's not important. I don't know what to say, but I don't even know his face."

In Ray's words, Marka had a strange expression from the bottom of her heart.

I wonder why they imitate looking for someone they don't even know.

"Is that it? You're asking me to look for him. Aniki is an adventurer."

Unlike Marka, Nicky, who knows the world to some extent, asked if he would be asked by the guild as an adventurer to find him, but Ray shook his head against the words.

"No, I didn't get a request from anyone else."

"... then why do you imitate it like that?

Well, in a nutshell, it's going to work.

I thought of various words that indicated my current situation, but it was such an explanation that eventually came out of Ray's mouth.

Yes, Anne and Lindy didn't ask me to find someone named Goliath.

However, knowing the current status of the orphanage and hearing that Goliath was donating money earned as an adventurer from the orphanage, I thought it was bad aftertaste for such a person to die.

That orphanage is now quite financially dangerous, but it's got to do with it.

As a last resort, there was a way for Ray to make a donation, but... after all, it was just a way to get ahead of the problem.

That's what I thought the parties would have to solve after all.
