Let's Manage The Tower

(10) Leisure

After listening to Mick's performance, I also talked about the self-propelled carriage.

The examiner didn't want to hear the story, he shook it from the other side.

"Still, is that the rumored carriage? You really don't have a horse."

The man who came to this place later than the examiners didn't see the self-propelled carriage moving.

However, since there were no horses in the carriage used by the examiners, it seemed that the carriage in front of them was a rumored carriage.

"Well, that's the thing. And yet, is there so much rumor?

As for examinations, there were places where rumors were intentionally spread, but I thought it had stopped somewhere.

Regardless of the bright merchants in the rumors of the business, I didn't think it was spreading to an adventurer who could see the carriage at a glance and answer it immediately.

Of course, the widespread rumours themselves should be welcomed in terms of purpose.

The question is what kind of content is spreading rumors?

In response to a question from the examiner, the man shrugged his shoulders.

"It's spreading. At least the adventurers who are taking on the escort are listening.

"I see. It's a good topic to spend the night with."

After the man took over, the woman also added.

"I see. It's a busy topic."

It is only natural to keep watch when camping, and the time is free in the meantime.

If the number of people is small, they often stand alone, but if they join other parties in this way, they may stand together.

Various rumours I've heard during my journey can be helpful.

"After all, it's a good topic to talk about carriages that can run without horses. And one after the other, new things were coming out."

"One after the other?

The man laughed and said to the examiner who leaned his neck without understanding the meaning.

"Ah, starting with the horseless story, the speed, the price, is extremely high. I heard that the famous Chamber of Commerce sank down after the carriage."

If you are an adventurer who has been asked to escort you, there are many rumours that the merchant guild is noble, that it is a small guild, but it is good there.

No matter how well you pay, it's only natural that a merchant guild that has been spreading such bad rumors doesn't have a good adventurer.

There are rumors of merchants and adventurers of adventurers.

Having listened to the man and convinced that he was following the prospectus, Kaiseki decided to listen to the topic of concern while relieved by his heart.

Really? Does the name of the famous Merchant Alliance still appear?

"No, that's the rumor I heard, but the exact name was lying down. However, even if it doesn't have a name on it, it tells us we know where it is."

Sometimes you don't have to give a specific Alliance name depending on what town you're based in, what kind of merchandise you were carrying, etc.

Rumors spread among adventurers include the topic of protecting the client's position in this way.

Of course, I know you're not protected at all.

And, basically, it's a bad rumor to say that the name is covered and spread.

There is no reason to blame a good rumor for being a merchant guild, so it is basically abandoned.

Kaiseki, who had heard rumours of several chambers of commerce from men, was nodding and listening.

"I see... You were aiming for something quite famous."

"That's true. If there's so much rumor, it'll raise the profile just by getting it, won't it? It could mean a kind of foiling. Well, it all went to waste."

Once you have one item spread across the continent, it will remain a status for the Merchant Alliance.

Conversely, rumors of failure provide laughter in a bad way.

"Some Merchant Guilds despise adventurers after all. You don't know how much the top adventurers make."

The man nodded loudly in agreement with the woman who had spoken that way.

Be a top adventurer and earn as much as the guild masters of the major merchant guilds.

Even if you call yourself a first-class guild without knowing about it, the adventurers will only laugh at you.

The Merchant's Guild, which basically rises to rumors, is relieved that it has begun at the rumor stage as a study aid because of these circumstances.

Other than that, I was worried about examinations.

"Anyway, that's why the giant guild hasn't been named."

The Merchant Alliance that has gone up so far is generally a well-known big player, but there is no big one in the real sense.

I somehow expected the reason, but I also wanted to hear the opinions of others, so the examiner dared to come up with the topic.

"Oh, that must be it. In the first place, you don't have to buy it."

"I see. Besides, it wouldn't make sense to buy just one special carriage if you got bigger than that."

As expected, the examiner nodded as satisfied as he was convinced in the table.

"I see, if you say so."

"Big guys handle so much stuff. I don't suppose they're going to come after us to carry any special baggage..."

The man who remembered the price of the self-propelled carriage he heard rumours about continued to shake his neck from side to side.

"Well, if the price is really as rumored, it won't come out."

The words made Kaiseki look intrigued.

"Huh? Why?

Towards the exam, the man answered shrugging his shoulders.

'Cause that wagon's not out of the mood anyway.

The examiner could only give back a bitter smile to the man who gave it back.

The self-propelled carriage used by the examiners has many aspects that are superior to ordinary carriages, such as speed and comfort, at least to the extent that they can be seen from the front.

However, if you add to them the prices that are rumored to be flowing, even if it is said to be convenient, there will be no choice.

In the first place, the inhabitants of this world travel for business or escort, but only for business reasons.

Of course, some people travel for touristic purposes, but it's a kind of indulgence, as the man just said.

From that point of view, the self-propelled carriage, which is said to have been made without threading money in search of comfort, is something that can't be helped even if it is said to be one of the comforts.

Speaking of which, I also fully understand that I made it as a hobby.

That's why you can only laugh when they say that a self-propelled carriage is a product of amusement.

Returning to the self-propelled carriage, Kaiseki also heard from Shreyn and others to see how rumors were spreading.

As a result, it turns out that, basically, there is no big difference in the rumors that merchants are also widespread.

Of course, the merchant side has a way of communicating the stories involved in the business, so the details are different, but it doesn't matter to the auxiliaries.

Rather, it was a place of peace of mind because it was exactly what the examiners were aiming for.

It was a study aid that stroked his chest down that he could manage to run safely until the end of his journey.
