Price of Management

Dressed in mythril? That's a lot of luxury for a king or a lord to enjoy.

“That's a lot of money, right? ”

Old Gus smiles and raises a finger.

“1,000 Redina? It's more expensive than I thought... ”

“10,000 Redina. ”

“Huff! What's so expensive? ”

“Out of 10,000 Redina, 5,000 are for misrills, and 5,000 are for hard work. ”

10,000 radishes for each piece of armor! You can't dream unless you make enough money, right?

“Why do you have to pay 5,000 for this? ”

“You don't know. If you're an artisan who knows how to handle missiles, you can do it with a sword. But if you're an artisan who can slice a missile like a thread, you can do it with a sword. You can do it with a master. You can do it with a magician. Of course you need to be treated that way. ”

That made me sigh.

“Ha. Then I won't be able to save you if you don't go to Leaden City." ”

Goose was smiling at that day.

“I'm not proud of it, but I'm a royal blacksmith who's been stripped of his slavery in recognition of his skills. When I got older, I ran out of anger when I said stop putting the hammer down... …. ”

“Oh! So you can inspire Goose? ”

“That's right.”

It's Goose!

Gus was actually a master blacksmith at the Ledon Royal Forge, and his skills were very good.

When Arthur came home to retire at an old age, he was very hospitable to Goose. I didn't spare the support, so I managed to run a big armory like this.

Thanks to him, Goose has always been good for our family. You know the importance of a good engineer, Arthur.

“By the way, I don't have that kind of money on my hands. ”

“Hmmm. I'm well aware of the Kunt family situation, but I can't believe you told Prince Caroc to buy you 10,000 radians. ”

“Then?”

“Make a coat of Troll Hide and reinforce only the critical area with the missile shield, and you'll have good defense gear. The Kunts have a favor to bestow on us, so we will give it to them in particular for 300 Redinas. ”

If the armor with a slight addition to the misrel was 300 reddinas, it was a significant price. Goose's inspiration was just being done for me as an adult.

Hmm, you need to save money to grow herbs... But I'm so hungry for a Troll Leather jacket that Goose inspires. There is nothing more precious than the safety of this body.

I nod at the end of the conflict.

“Okay. Gus's inspiration is so cheap, he's not a man if you don't take out the money bag.“ ”

“Haha, excellent judgment. ”

I took out 300 Redinas and paid Old Gus. A tanning man came and measured my body and talked about the fit or design I wanted.

“You can come back in a week. ”

“Yes, please. ”

Then I left the armory and played with Noh until late at night. The eighth hour after the exact summoning of gnome, I felt dizzy.

Hmm. That's as far as I go.

It's only twice as good spiritual affinity as when I first signed with Noam.

That's amazing. Am I some kind of animistic genius? Before the regression, I was told that my spiritual affinity was mediocre.

After returning to Max's Resting House, I returned his gnome and went to sleep in my room.

I quickly fell asleep because I was running out of spiritual affinity.

The next day, I woke up at lunch. Perhaps the cost of depleting spiritual affinity is a long sleep.

Thanks to my long sleep, I regained my senses.

- Are you playing with him again?

“Yes, but let's play a different game today. ”

- What game?

“We're practicing our fighting. You were scared when you fought that ogre before, weren't you? ”

- Yes, my master was in danger.

“I'm practicing fighting before I do, because I may have to fight those bad monsters again. ”

- Let's do it.

For now, I've decided to study the spirit technique for hunting monsters in the wilderness.

Monsters emerging from the wilderness are Earth Swarm and Blood Scorpion.

Earth Swarms are more suited to the term "slime made of clay." Mass habitation in fertile soils feeds on the nutrients and moisture of the soil and does not invade living creatures unless it is reasonably possible.

I don't know if they're good monsters just by explaining it like this, but if they show up in the field, that year's farming will be totally ruined. Since I ate all the nutrients in the field as well as the moisture, will the crops grow?

Blood Scorpion was a monster that looked like a giant scorpion, as you can easily guess by its name. Its head to tail length is 5 meters long, and its red shell cannot be pierced without error.

According to research from the Mercenary Guild, is it the 3rd place the mercenaries are afraid of? For reference, the first place is Ogres and the second place is the skillful Orc tribe. Do Trolls and Minotaurs like it because the byproducts are so expensive after hunting?

The Earth Swarm, like a slime, can be killed by destroying the nucleus in the body, and the Blood Scorpion must be turned upside down to attack the ‘only’ vulnerable part of the abdomen. Or bury it like you did when you caught the Ogre.

Fortunately, there are several attack techniques that could be a reference to the introduction to animosity. I was going to teach it to Norm.

I couldn't practice in many cities, so I went out and found a place that wasn't popular.

“The first technology is the Land Sphere. Make the earth a spear and stab the enemy. The window should be about a meter long. Understand?”

-Yeah.

“Very well, then, Land Sphere! ”

At my command, gnome struck the ground with a shovel.

Rrrrgh!

A 1-meter spear of dirt protrudes from the ground and pierces a large rhombus tree.

Ridiculous!

The azimidri tree was broken in one fell swoop. Oh, it works.

- Was I good?

“Well, that was very, very good. Then let's set a trap. ”

- Trap?

“Yeah, dig a big hole about five meters deep and thin the surface with dirt. ”

Noonum tilted his head because he didn't understand my explanation.

“So you put a little surface like a lid on a pot, and you dig a deep hole in it. Stupid monsters don't even know it, and they're walking over it, and then they fall in. ”

- I think I know.

“Then let's do it. Trap!”

Suddenly, I had a headache, and I dug a five-meter hole, and it was a huge expense of spiritual affinity.

Where the hell did they set us up, anyway?

- Here you go.

Norm points to a point about 10 meters ahead.

I carefully approached the spot where Norm was pointing and tapped it with one foot.

Tupperware!

The ground collapses, revealing a large, five-meter-deep pit trap.

“Huff!”

It's more than I could have imagined. A trap like this should be enough to keep Blood Scorpion at bay.

The ogre's whole body is a very dense muscle mass, so even if it falls into this pit, it will lightly escape with a single jump, but Blood Scorpion was a crustacean monster with short legs.

- Was I good?

“Yes! I feel like a gnome genius! ”

- Heh heh, I'm a genius.

I didn't know what to do, because I gave him so many compliments. I came up with a good saying. Praise makes you dance, too.

The last thing I taught Norm was Earth Hand. Earth Hand, as its name suggests, was the hand of the polite soil.

“Keep your eyes on my hand and follow it. ”

-Okay.

I used my right hand to grip and pull out a wild chestnut tree about 20 meters away.

Then the hands of the soil protruded from the ground and grabbed and ripped off the chestnut tree.

Wow! Amazing!

This is fun! I felt like a giant with big hands because I was imitated by Norm with my hands.

This time, I tried to build a sand castle with both hands. Then the two hands of soil really began to pile up. I continued because it was fun. I started to feel dizzy and quit.

I love your aesthetic skills. This is the most addictive!

“Oh, that was fun. Right?"

- Yeah, it's fun.

When I felt joy, I also felt joy. The owner and the spirit didn't even tell me that the spirits are connected to each other at the entrance to spirituality.

After that, I spent a week polishing up my animosity with Dean's group. After practicing a little with our little cutie gnome, my breathing was short-lived.

By week's end, I first visited Goose Inspired's Weapon Shop.

“Welcome. This is how it was done. ”

Goose inspiration was the masterpiece of contrition, showing him the Troll Leather jacket.

“Wow!”

Out of nowhere, I was amazed. It was that cool.

The Troll Leather Jacket was truly a luxury Goose inspiration.

Beat the Troll Hide with a bat, spread it thinly, coat it with Pig Oil, and dry it in the sun. Repeat the process 10 times. In addition, the green colors of monsters are painted in dark black because they are disgusting.

A Troll leather made to fit my measurements.

Where is that?

Goose inspiration embellishes the jacket in a mythril thread drawn with incredible craftsmanship. The decoration chose the lion's crest, which is the symbol of Baron Kunt, and was subtly shaped in subtle, heart-like crunchiness.

That was the Troll Leather jacket in front of him. At this point, I could recognize the eyes of this body, 72 years old, a merchant's life.

“This is 300 Redinas, do you really have to accept this luxury item for such a cheap price? ”

My voice trembled because I didn't know it would take so much effort to make it.

Old Gus bursts into laughter.

“Since you can see our diligence at a glance, Confucius Carroc deserves this. ”

“Thank you so much! ”

I wore a Troll Leather jacket. It fits me perfectly. Neither large nor small, I could feel the comfortable fit of a luxury garment that fits seamlessly.

It was when I was enjoying myself in a Troll Leather jacket.

“Hurry?”

“Confucius Caroc? ”

Two men entered the armory and pretended to know each other. It was Dean and Lex.

“What are you guys doing here? ”

“Something happened. I ordered a new weapon. ”

Dean grumbles and asks Old Gus.

“Did you order anything? ”

“Of course.”

Inspired Goose brought two spears from the inside. It was a heavy steel spear hammered with iron, as well as a spear.

Aha, you bought a steel spear because of the experience of breaking a spear in an Ogre fist.

Dean and Rex look satisfied with their steel spears in their hands. Gus-inspired man, you must be satisfied with the skill of the armory. Goose inspiration was also proud of the satisfaction of the customer.

“That's what we're ready for. ”

“Okay, I'm done. Then let's go monster-hunting tomorrow. ”

“Yes.”

We thanked old Gus for making good things, then returned to the inn and rested. Starting tomorrow, I had to save my strength because I had to leave for monster hunting.
