"Although I came with an extra servant beast egg, no, you hatched all the ones I already gave you before..."
As I opened the woods and widened the fields, and after some days of dawn in riding training, the traffickers came to the village again.
They brought me a new servant beast egg, as per a contract I had been to before.
And when I told him that all the eggs I got last time were hatched, he was terribly surprised.
Because the pedestrian prediction seemed to expect only about one or two to hatch.
Apparently, the servant beast eggs I grow grow up pretty fast.
It could be the effect of [Magic Infusion].
In many cases, it usually takes more than a month to hatch one egg because it naturally absorbs and grows the magic that the person has.
Moreover, it is said to be time consuming because having more than one egg is not concurrent.
For that reason, I was surprised to see a servant beast that was already a beast.
"In the meantime, we can put it up for sale now. What do you want me to do? I mean, is there anything you can buy me out of somewhere?
"Hmm? Oh. Right. To tell you the truth, I'm not gonna sell it at first."
"Huh? So you're saying I'll even use it for my own business?
"That too, but not this time. Give it to people for free."
Huh?
You said all that "this servant beast would definitely sell" or something, but are you going to make it a gift for free too?
I didn't understand what a pedestrian meant.
"Pfft. Don't you see? Ars isn't here yet. Not yet."
"What the hell. If I were to give a woman a present, I'd let her think about breaking her contract."
"No, no. That's not true."
"Then what are you going to do?"
"Give it to me. To the nobles who rule this land."
"Dedicated to the nobles?
"That's right. You remember what I said before?
"... about what?
He said, "Merchants who go around villages like me don't have connections to deal with expensive things."
Speaking of which, it's like I've heard it, it's like I haven't.
What was it?
I took the word of a pedestrian and dug back into my memory.
Speaking of which, I used to ask a pedestrian to buy out white porcelain and glass dishes for a higher price.
But he didn't see it as a luxury item, although he put on a few times the price of a regular daily dish.
That was due in part to the fact that this pedestrian had no handover to sell dishes at a high price.
It takes a lot of credit to get a nobleman to buy goods in this land where a class of nobility exists.
Usually large shops are exclusively responsible for dealings with aristocrats.
On the aristocratic side, the majority of things will be aligned if ordered from a dedicated store, and there is a credit relationship due to years of trading, which reduces the risk of being grabbed for bad things.
Whereas exclusive shops can also monopolize dealings with aristocrats, they will take the corresponding responsibility if anything is coarse.
I have to be serious about doing business for that amount.
As a result of this strong connection between sellers and buyers, it is difficult for new arrivals to enter.
Naturally, there is zero pipe with nobility in the kind of pedestrians who come to our village.
No matter how much I claimed to sell the dishes I made, I never bought them off for the price I wanted.
Because if it's that expensive, it can only be sold by noble opponents, and you can't even meet decent people to sell it.
But not this time only.
This time, I lifted it as a commodity, not because I made my own dishes, but because it is a rideable servant beast that is recognized as valuable and useful in this world.
There is definitely demand.
They can definitely be sold anywhere.
So why are we talking about offering it instead of selling it?
That also concerns the social situation.
Fighting is now taking place quite often in this land.
And a rideable servant beast can be a very big factor in winning battles.
If you say so, it will be a strategic supply.
What happens if we ignore the aristocracy that governs this land with such strategic supplies and sell them to hostile aristocracy?
First of all, there is no doubt, he said, that there is no life together with those involved.
If it is, then you cannot do business disregarding nobility.
So there was a judgment by a pedestrian that it was better to give it away free of charge from here before making the first deal.
If you like it, it will also lead to future purchases and, above all, it will be a powerful connection with the nobility.
Maybe they'll make connections to other nobles.
There seems to be some sort of calculation.
"That's why we're going to that aristocratic house next time. Tell your father that, too."
Apparently, this pedestrian also considers this deal a big opportunity.
He's not just going to sell it himself, he's going out of his way to greet the aristocracy, taking me not just to raise the servant beast, but even to his father, the guardian.
Thus, for the first time, I had to go outside the village.
