Let's Manage The Tower

(6) Negotiation (after)

After a light conversation with Carmen, Floria headed to the table with Samuel.

There, Samuel waited for them with a smile he gave them.

I knew what I was thinking from Florian, but I didn't care.

In the past, many people approached with similar thoughts.

Rather, in the case of Samuel, it is easy to deal with for an understandable amount.

From his position, he was also not allowed to escape from such people, so he acquired the magic of immortality.

This area was different from Sylvia, who was trying to stay as close as possible.

Carmen, who was close to the table, first introduced Floria and the others.

"Excuse me, but talk to them about the artifact. Don't worry, you never talked to me."

"You don't mind if I talk to you at the same time?

Samuel wanted to negotiate with several to raise the value, but the prospect collapsed lightly.

Carmen, who shook his neck left and right,

"No, I'm not going to be here any more than they are. I'm pulling back now."

"... it's so light. Not like you."

It was Samuel's simple provocation, but Carmen didn't ride it.

On the contrary, you look a little surprised.

"Why, you don't know... oh, yeah. You just got here."

Carmen, with a pleasant expression, shouted loudly as if she could be heard around her.

"They're with Corey. If you do something bad, you can't just burn yourself.

The moment Carmen said so, the quality of the surrounding gaze that he was looking at Floria and Silvia changed.

The kind of gaze that was trying to get closer to the two beautiful people suddenly dropped dramatically.

Cory's name is still very effective in Setum.

There is no one who would do anything bad to the colleague, unless there is so much.

When I heard Cory's name, it was Samuel, who had just flinched for a moment, but she immediately got back up and looked the same as before.

It is obvious that the Florians are coming for the instruments of God.

In that case, I immediately reconsidered that there was no difference in my advantage in holding the real thing.

Of course, you'll soon be reminded that it's Samuel's mistake.

"So, they want this artifact..."

Samuel tried to talk with his sword, but Florian sat across the street and stopped him immediately.

"I'm sorry, but we're not going to negotiate with you. Either you can trade it for me or you can't."

That's what Floria said and saw Sylvia.

And Sylvia took something like a fist-sized stone out of a bag that a woman often had.

Carmen was watching Florians negotiate, but seeing what Sylvia took out, he couldn't help but raise his voice.

"Yes, that's it!

As the voice was loud as I thought, I also gathered the ears and eyes of other adventurers who were listening at the surrounding table.

And when they saw the stone on the table, many shouted in surprise, just as Carmen did.

However, Samuel, who is at the heart of the story, is shrugging his neck at his surroundings.

Florian, who confirmed it, said to Carmen after a while.

"Hmm. Samuel doesn't seem to understand, so can you explain? You're more convinced than I am, aren't you?

"Explain, before you do that, you put something like this in a place like this... well, okay?"

Apparently, Carmen sighed as if she had given up, understanding that not only Cory but also the two people in front of her didn't have a natural feeling.

After sighing, Carmen turned her gaze toward Samuel.

"... you too. If you're an adventurer, know what this is.... this is the raw stone of Magic Ore."

"Ha!?

In Carmen's words, Samuel opened his eyes and revealed his surprise.

Samuel didn't know what was happening when he saw the real thing, but he certainly knew what the magic ore was.

After all, Magic Ore is considered one of the best materials used to make magic weapons.

Because of its high rarity, its value rises unwittingly from the ceiling, and even small shards like thumbs are a substitute for its high value.

The magic ore in front of me is about the size of a fist.

It is not difficult to imagine how many values can be given.

After seeing the magic ore Sylvia took out, Samuel unexpectedly snorted his throat.

"Here, take this?

"Oh, that's right. I want you to exchange this Magic Ore for its artifacts. There are two choices: exchange or not."

Floria said that Samuel saw the Magic Ore again.

Samuel's head was already blowing away the evil thoughts he had just had.

With this amount of Magic Ore, you get enough money to spend the rest of your life playing just by taking formal procedures and selling it.

Looking at that face, I could see how Samuel would respond, but Floria kept silent waiting for a reply without saying anything.

Eventually, Samuel shook his neck vertically.

"Yes, that's fine. Let's trade this ore for magical equipment."

I see. It's good to hear a good answer. "

Florian nodded with that, and then slowly approached the ore on his side.

Samuel, who saw it, thought that he would just steal the ore and run away for a moment, but immediately changed it.

The sword of the divine instrument is already treated as a distraction in Samuel, so it is better to do something weird and not let this story go bad.

I don't know what Floria and Sylvia are capable of, but there's Carmen right next door.

Instead of doing extra things, the idea was that we should definitely get the Magic Ore.

Seeing Florian receiving the artifact Samuel offered, Carmen looked a little worried.

"I'm glad we made it, but are you okay? Such a grand exchange."

No matter how close she is to Cory, she's not around right now.

You can think of as many things as being attacked immediately after leaving the tavern.

Floria and Sylvia, who were so worried about Carmen, looked at each other once.

Then Floria slipped her hand into her chest pocket and took out a card and gave it to Carmen.

"I appreciate your concern, but I'm sure you'll be fine."

"... hmm? This is a Crown Card... Was it your A-Rank?!

Carmen's surprised voice made a noise.

It was already known in Setum that the Crown Adventurer Rank was set to be strict unlike any other Adventurer Alliance.

Although it is unique to a Crown based in the Central Continent, the Crown's A-Rank adventurers stand out.

"Oh, yeah. As expected, I'm no match for Corey, but I'm quite capable too. Not at all, but we'll be fine until we get back to base."

Well, I guess so.

Carmen looked at Floria with a stunning look.

I haven't seen anyone so different in appearance and strength since Corey.

It was Carmen who wondered whether people of the same level would gather around the most powerful owners.
