Legend

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr"

Seto rattles his throat and turns his gaze towards the stall.

Ray, following Seto's gaze, gave him a slightly surprising look when he saw the stall.

What's sold in that stall is cold, cold fruit water.

At a time when temperatures are gradually rising and getting hot, some people will want to drink cold drinks at noon.

But Ray wasn't surprised because he sells fruit water.

Because they were selling cold fruit water.

At a time when the temperature is naturally warmer, making fruit water cannot be said to be cold, and it is more correct to describe it as warm in one way or another.

In the meantime, the stall at the end of Ray's gaze sells cold fruit water.

The reason for this is the magic items provided in the stalls.

It's a little different from what Ray found when he was walking around the guild before, but there are so many similarities that I was able to immediately determine that it was a magic item that emitted cold air.

Maybe I could use a refrigerator or an air conditioner instead? I was intrigued by Ray's explanation of the magic item, but I didn't buy it because of the poor fuel consumption that both quality and quantity were required for the demonic stones used and, above all, because if I wore a dragon robe, I didn't need the type of air conditioning, and if I had mysteries, I didn't need a refrigerator...

"You used to buy this magic item."

Ray, who ordered fruit water, said so to the stall owner.

The man who smiled and opened his mouth at the words of that Ray was such a muscular big man that at first glance he didn't look like a stall owner.

Its height would be far higher than Ray's and would be better than two meters.

The stall was never small either, but it looked like a toy when a man stood with him.

Then the face doesn't mean it's strong, it even has an atmosphere of kindness somewhere.

If it had been the size of this body and the strong side, it would not have been very, but the stall owner would not have been able to.

Yes, like Pamidor, who, despite his caring personality, is losing money with a vicious face.

"Ha. This stall is like half a hobby."

"... that's why I bought all these magic items"

"Well, you look like the same Rank B Adventurer you are, so you're making a lot of money."

No surprise I spotted myself as a Rank B Adventurer as soon as I saw myself.

Seeing Seto drinking fruit water in a deep plate specially prepared next to Ray, I guess he can recognize Ray as Ray right away if he lives in Gilm.

But unlike someone like that, Ray doesn't look like a man.

There are so many adventurers in the Guild that Ray doesn't know his face.

And sometimes Ray himself, he's not that good with people, and his adventurer colleagues don't know him that well.

"If you are a Rank B Adventurer, do you make enough money to buy Magic Items,"

"Aren't you experiencing Ray around there, too?

To the man's words, Ray flaunts his shoulder small.

Ray and the man were the same in the sense of a Rank B adventurer, but Ray imitated that if he raided a bandit from below, he would take the treasure, and sometimes he had a few successful big requests, so he had little trouble with the money.

That's not why Ray was completely convinced of what the store owner was saying, but he still understood how much higher ranked adventurers like Rank B Adventurers earned.

Because I've heard stories about it from faces like Lenora and Kenny, and I've heard stories from Elk, a Rank A adventurer, in the form of public talk.

"There it is. It's a fact that I don't have eyes on magic items as much as I can say about people."

"Oh, I knew it was. Not many people actually know it's a magic item when they look at this. By the way, what kind of magic items does Ray collect? I collect magic items that are useful in everyday life."

The most popular magic item available for everyday use would still be the magic item in the light.

But there's no way to use that magic item as much as you like, beyond the fact that you need a Demon Stone with shards.

There are other things like spark-producing magic items, like preparing fire to use when cooking, but that's not what the shopkeepers are saying, it was obvious that they were referring to something like the one used for this stall.

"I'm the kind of magic item you can actually use in battle. Spears, daggers?... Well, daggers can't be used in battle."

Ray's brain is overshadowed by a running water dagger.

It is a very powerful magic item that if used successfully, the water itself can be treated as a weapon, but the substitute is that it can only be used for as much drinking water as Ray's attributes, which specialize in flames.

Most importantly, it is a flavor that deserves to be described as heavenly delicious, as if it were drinking water.

"In battle, you're very serious. Well, even if we're collecting in different directions, we have a hobby of collecting magic items from each other. I'm glad you're getting along.... not really a hobby that people would recognize."

The words out of the store owner's mouth abound with joy that he was finally able to find his own companion.

Magic items are basically a lot of expensive substitutes. That's what even substitutes existed for dozens of light gold coins if you look up.

For example, Ray's mysteries are not a substitute for how much money you can buy.

Even if it wasn't that expensive, it wasn't uncommon to buy it in gold or white gold coins.

"You can say that. When I often tell people that collecting magic items is my hobby, even freaks look at me like I see them. Even when I said it was my hobby to collect demon stones."

"Huh? Give me the demon stone?... Well, I can't say anything about what people hobby..."

With that said, the guy at the store owner said that the gaze he puts on Ray is the person he likes.

Still, there would be no malice in the gaze because the shopkeeper himself understood his hobby to be special.

"Anyway, it's good to see a good fellow. Oh, with that said, you haven't introduced yourself yet. I'm Seymour. Like I said, it's Seymour, the Rank B Adventurer. Well, sometimes I do stalls with both hobbies and benefits."

"... Benefits? Isn't that a deficit? It's all this magic stuff, so you're gonna need a pretty high ranking monster demon stone to move it, right?

Many objects naturally require that much higher ranked monster Demon Stone to use high-performance magic items.

In that sense, wouldn't doing a stall here and selling fruit water be worth the cost of the Demon Stone? Ray asks with that thought, but Seymour smiles and shakes her neck to the side.

"No, no, that's this magic item, it's highly effective, but you don't need that high ranking monster demon stone. I bought it when I heard about it."

"... this chilling magic item?

"Yes, yes. Rank E Monster's Demon Stone moves enough."

Ray's gaze becomes somewhere suspicious.

Magic items that have the same effect Ray has seen before were required for Rank C Monster Demon Stones.

Rank C Monster...... In other words, a monster Demon Stone of the same rank as Cyclops is required.

Why even Rank E Monster demon stones work when it is a magic item with similar performance.

Even though I doubt it, it was true that the magic item was actually moving like this in front of Ray right now.

(Gilm's level of alchemy has risen sharply in this short period of time? Well, you can't say you never will... but there's no way you can still be that convenient. Because what I saw was a guy built a long time ago, like a mold lag?

I doubt it, but in the end I can't get an answer, and I end up asking Seymour, who is laughing proudly in front of me.

"Why do you move with such a low rank Demon Stone?

"I don't know. I'm not familiar with alchemy either... but the Bestian Empire has been for the last few years... a decade or so? Anyway, we're talking about a sudden increase in alchemy overall. I thought it was different from what was made of gilm.

"Oh, is it made by the Bestian Empire? With a doughnut...... yeah?

Second, I was uncomfortable with the words I said.

Watching Seto drink the cold fruit water happily, Ray thinks for a few seconds...... realizes what he was uncomfortable with.

"Wait. Wait. I want you to wait a minute. Uh, you bought this magic item at Gilm, didn't you? Or, in fact, you went all the way to the Bestian Empire and bought it?

Seymour smiles and opens her mouth when she says she doesn't understand what she's saying to Ray.

"That's natural. Why do we need to go all the way to the Bestian Empire? The magic items over there are fascinating, but you're still not going to go to the Bestian Empire, which has been hostile to the Kingdom of Mireana for years. Even people I know are dead in the war. Even though we know it's war, there's a lot to think about."

"You use magic items made by the Bestian Empire.... not, why is there a Vestian Imperial magic item for sale in Gilm? Whether this is the King's Capital or a city close to the Bestian Empire, it's the Gilm on the border!?

"You're not talking crazy. It's rare to have merchants from the Bestian Empire in the Guild, but it's not like they're all gone."

Seymour's words are true.

There are also areas in the Bestian Empire known as the border, but some can only be obtained in the Guild.

Conversely, there were a small number of merchants who naturally went from the Kingdom of Mireana to the border of the Bestian Empire, as some items could only be obtained on the border of the Bestian Empire.

That's for sure...

(Still, there should never be many merchants who come to Gilm with their lives at stake. I was hostile until last year. Besides, magic items from the Bestian Empire flow conveniently to the Guild's market after the disturbance of the magic items. Is this really a coincidence?

It's conceivable if you want to think by chance, but if you seem to be involved with the alchemist Ray is looking for now, that was possible again.

(But if the alchemist I'm looking for really made this magic item, what do I need to do about it? Naturally, we don't want to imitate ourselves. What if... Yang Dynasty? I see, is there one?)

Make him look like he's in the gilm, and he's actually lurking elsewhere.

The possibility seemed to Ray to be good enough.

At the same time, there is the thought that you might have wanted to make pure money, not positive.

If you're making magic items, including golems and demon swords, you'll need a lot of different materials, and you're probably making money to get them.

(It is also possible that he wanted material specific to the guilds. Besides, there's also the possibility that I'm running out of material to make a magic item about the golem)

There are several possibilities even if you just think about it a little bit, and then you don't know which one to choose as Ray.

(Definitely a powerful piece of information anyway. For example, can I say this when I rendezvous with Vihera or Bühne)

Ultimately, he decides to discuss the matter with the Vihelas and Ray turns to Seymour.

"So where did you buy this magic item? If the demon stone problem is cleared, I'd like to buy it too."

"Is this it? This is where I went sideways from the boulevard, so it's kind of hard to tell... you know what a Lelows store is?

"Lelows...... oh, that's a store selling ingredients and stuff on the boulevard. I've stopped by a few times."

"Well, then it's quick to talk. All you have to do is go from the Lelows store toward the guild, turn from the second street toward the alley, and then go straight into the back of the road. Then there's a shop decorating the goblin skull, so there it is."

"... the goblin skull? That's a lot of bad taste."

"Ha. I can tell you that. But isn't that what it looks like? In fact, I go through quite a few holes sometimes. It's just that Ray didn't have as many magic items as he liked to use in action, so maybe he doesn't like Ray in that sense."

"You keep the goblin skull?

To Ray's words, Seymour nods with a serious face.

"They don't like adventurers very much. In that sense, I'm not that fond of you either... but if you say it's an introduction from me, you won't be driven back, so why don't you go if you want to? Hey, bad. Guests."

Seymour finds a conspicuous line of guests behind the ray he was talking about.

Ray is also unwilling to stand in the way of Seymour's business, so he pays the fee and goes with Seto to the meeting place with Vihera.
