When I arrived at the listing, a letter was inserted in the gap next to the door. If I hadn't met James when I went to Lohan's room, I wouldn't have even gotten the letter.
It's not unusual. Apprentices are restricted from going out, so people with ointments sometimes receive letters.
There are also several letters to Dylan, the original owner of this body. They're all from my parents back home.
“Then I forgot. I think you should take the time to reply. You've been too careless so far. ”
They're not my real parents, but they're my parents now.
I had another thought for a second.
When I woke up, I picked up the letter and opened the door. I went inside and locked the door hook.
It's because I was teased that Lohan had just received a love letter. If I break in and see my letter for no reason, it makes me sick.
“Chuckle.”
I laid comfortably on the bed and opened the letter.
Nothing was written in the letter. It's like a misdirected letter. But this is a trick. I poured Mana into the letter.
Zec.
Then I began to see the invisible letters. When I was able to confirm all the letters, I stopped the Mana infusion.
It's like scratching lottery tickets with a coin.
It was also a letter from Eluna. Looking at the sleek handwriting, her face reminds me of myself.
However, the content was more gratifying than her face.
You finally did it!
“I knew Spinel could do it. Even though it's faster than I expected. ”
This is thanks to a status window that shows that his ingredient collection trait rank is A. It's even weirder if you can't spend money on it.
I got up immediately and prepared to go out. He wore a sword and a pistol to his waist and wrapped himself around a robe. I finished all preparations and headed to the headquarters.
Eluna was waiting for me. Instead of saying hello, I asked him first what he really wanted to know.
“Didn't you say it was difficult to make it right now at the meeting? ”
“I'm sure that's what I heard, but something dramatic has happened. It came out of nowhere in a hurry. ”
“Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying anything. I feel good. ”
Eluna smiles beautifully. I asked again.
“What's the main character today? ”
“I'm waiting inside. Come this way."
I followed Eluna's trail to find his location. Spinel sits at his desk and writes something on the paper.
Scraper.
I hear a pretty good friction. It was the sound of the fountain pen touching the paper. Spinel's hand is filled with a foul fountain pen.
“You're early. I thought you were coming tomorrow. ”
“You're done already? ”
Spinel shrugs, smiling nervously.
“I found good materials at the last minute. The other parts were already made, so they were quickly assembled. I'm taking a notebook exam right now, but how about this? Take a look."
Spinel looks up at the paper with a confident expression. I frowned.
“That's a hell of a pen. ”
“It's one of the features of genius. ”
“Not his personality? ”
“Hahahaha.”
I tested it at a total blink. It was hard to recognize the letters, but I was generally satisfied to see that the lines were evenly aligned.
I took the magnifying glass out of my pocket and checked the penlight. Spinel sticks out his tongue.
“You're getting ready. Our Master.”
“We don't want to do anything that's going to undermine our business. Besides, I'll give it to the High Priestess as a gift. Are you going to take responsibility if something goes wrong? ”
“No way. But who do you plan to give it to? ”
“My lords. ”
Again, Spinel grimaces his head as he mutters. He smiled as he imagined his creation in the hands of the Grand Marquis.
“It's going to be very innovative. So far, we've had to carry ink in canisters to write, but you don't need ink cans if you have these 10,000 pens. ”
I open my eyes from the magnifying glass. The pens are a little unsettling, but they don't bother you at all.
I still felt like I needed to refine the nib a little later. Not everyone does, but most nobles are tough.
“What is the unit price of production? ”
“It's quite expensive. The cost would be about 10 gold. The key is a little pass converter with ink in it, which is kind of hard to come by. ”
10 gold is worth around 10 million won. Almost a mid-sized used car.
However, the cost of production is not very important.
The value of every item is determined by "scarcity." It has innovative features, so you don't have to worry about not being able to live because you don't have money. Worry about not being able to make things.
“Don't just watch. Try the master. ”
I held the fountain pen in my hand. Grip is better than I thought. You notice that Spinel cares about the finishing of the surrounding material.
I took the fountain pen and wrote it on paper myself.
“Well, that's not bad. It's a little rough, though. ”
“If you use it for a long time, it will naturally wear out your nib and make you feel better. And if you develop a nib, you can create a variety of different kinds of products. ”
“It's also a feature of the fountain pen. Reflecting a user's habits. ”
“That's it. Master.”
Spinel seems to have unlocked all the advantages of the fountain pen. It was a gift to see the perfect bird by looking at the drawings.
I handed the fountain pen back to Spinel and asked.
“How much is the seller worth? ”
“I don't know. Maybe 500 gold? Well, is it too cheap? I don't know. I'm a little rusty on money. ”
Spinel's opinions are low. It was too dry, and he was obsessed with making things. Not everyone is good at it.
My gaze naturally turned to Elona. Eluna said, as if she had waited.
“This will sell for 1,000 gold in no time. ”
“For 1,000 gold, you'll need to sell four of them generously in order to top off your winnings for a month. ”
I crouched my chin and thought for a moment. I thought I should consider it before the price.
“How long does it take to make a fountain pen? ”
“Assembly will only take a few moments. It takes about three hours. But the ink and the converter I was talking about earlier. It takes a lot of time to get this material. ”
“What kind of material did you put in it? ”
“You'd better see for yourself. ”
Spinel skillfully separated the fountain pen. Parts embedded in the central barrel are revealed.
Surprisingly, the barrel with the ink was translucent, showing the amount of ink inside.
What, there's plastic in here, too?
“This is not my design. ”
“I looked for materials that would be uncomfortable if I didn't see any ink residue. It's made of hard, lightweight materials. ”
Spinel wags his pen around. The ink in the barrel starts to rumble.
“What's the material? ”
“A wooden trunk. It's one of the rarest materials found in the Southern region. I have to dry and polish for a long time, so I have a lot of hands. Lightweight, durable and long-lasting, this material is ideal for use. ”
“A rare ingredient means you don't make a lot of fountain pen, right? ”
“You're sharp. I had a hard time getting it, too. We have two more to make. ”
Then there are three fountains I can hold in my hand. How do you sell this for the biggest profit?
“One for the late lord...... and one for the royal family. We can only sell one. ”
“There are other ways. ”
“Tell me. ”
Spinel pulls another fountain pen out of his arms. The appearance was almost the same. The difference was revealed when he separated the trunk and showed the components inside.
If the prototype ink barrel was translucent, the ink barrel of this product was completely invisible.
“You made an ink can out of iron. ”
“This is a prototype from the day I received the master's drawing. It's a little heavier, and it's not better than writing it down first. I was going to keep it secret... …. ”
“No, why are you saying that now? ”
I was a little absurd. If I had said yes, I would have been less troubled.
“Hahaha. I had to. because I was eager to improve. If we're going to build it, shouldn't we have perfected it from the start and let it go? ”
“There's no need for compromise! ”
“I would never compromise. if it's about the product. ”
Now you're even flinching your fingers. Yeah, I lost. Okay, just keep explaining.
“It weighs a little more, but it's not that uncomfortable, and the discomfort of not seeing ink is worth it. Why don't you sell this item first? ”
Spinel's suggestion gives me a few moments to consider, but I'm having an unexpected realization.
The quality of the item is relative.
I've been thinking about something wrong. I'm familiar with modern civilizations. It was in the picture without error at the factory.
It might be uncomfortable for me to use Spinel's early version of the fountain pen, but wouldn't the new world unfold if it was written by people around the world?
Like when the person on the beep first touches their phone.
“Yes, let's sell. ”
“I feel like you're making a decision too easily. Are you okay?”
“You can sell it. I just had an idea. ”
I had a meaningful smile.
“Contact local minor officials or minor nobles to sell items. Don't sell it in a market place, a secret route. Very secretly.”
“Very well. That's a mystical strategy. ”
Eluna has her orders. I left the job with her. It's going to be okay.
“And Spinel, you make the other two ten-year pens as soon as you can. I'm going to take one to the Royal Road, and I'm going to sell one for a very special price. ”
“How? ”
“Where in the world is the easiest place to find a single object? ”
Two of my subordinates, who were thinking for a moment, let out their elasticity at the same time.
“Auction House!”
“Exactly. ”
It is difficult to participate in the auction right away. First, you must give the 10,000 Pillars to Lord Kronos and sell the initial model to others to spread some word.
What if we put the same product that the Marquis uses in the Auction House?
The price will rise to the top of the world.
“I should probably get going. Give me that. ”
You try to hand me one of Spinel's more outstanding prototypes, but turn around and see if you can think of anything.
“Just a moment, please. I've got a good one. ”
Spinel pulls something out of the corner. A small wooden box. A fluffy cushion sits inside the lid. It felt very luxurious.
He placed the fountain pen on the cushion.
“Stash?”
“Wouldn't it be worthless if I went straight to the Viceroy? ”
“Excellent work to finish. ”
I returned to the lodging after two people had done the work. What would the prince do when he gets a fountain pen?
By tomorrow, I was able to sleep comfortably for a long time.
I'm so happy to give you good news in my first letter. Chief Spinel has succeeded in making the fountain pen. We have a prototype at our headquarters.
