Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter’s Hero Dream
75 Negotiations ②
Ei was bewildered by that apparently suspicious attitude.
"Thousands of Changes" looks at Arnold with a serious look.
Arnold has a long history of hunters.
Treasure hunters are jobs that can never be done just because they are highly capable of combat.
Of course, it goes without saying that fighting ability is most needed, but treasure palaces and demons are not the only trials that must creep through for hunters.
In order to grow as a hunter, a high level of communication skills is required, such as negotiating power to properly buy and sell treasure and demonic materials obtained in the treasure hall, and connections to the powerful. In Fog Thunder Dragon (Fallen Mist), Aye, the deputy leader, is primarily responsible for it, but Arnold is also somewhat aware of it while crossing with the merchants and nobles of Haiqian Mountain Thousand.
The inquiry was telling. The floating man in front of me - "Thousands of Changes" is lying, he said.
"It's a little dangerous, huh?
"Thousands of Changes" draws slightly on Arnold, who looks at his eyebrows distorted and stared at them.
Arnold frowned as he saw the behavior.
Use is restricted by law. It's a little dangerous. That's not what I said in the purchase negotiations.
Then it's easy to predict why you want it, and instead you'll be in shape.
According to the information Aye researched, The Thousand Changes is an excellent tactician - he has an eye for foresight of everything.
Why is such a "thousand changes" setting up such a rough negotiation?
The words should have had intentions.
To Arnold, who was silent, the man in front of him had his eyes as if to seek strength.
"Thousands of Changes," you, now you're lying?
"Huh!?
"A little dangerous. Should we let it go, huh? That's what I thought. You're gonna... you're gonna be measuring me?
In contrast to the shaking, cold sweat flows down the cheeks of The Thousand Changes. It's a brilliant fiction. Even with Arnold's eyes, he just seems seriously in a hurry.
Yes. 'Danger'. 'You should let go'.
The words in this "Thousand Changes" are as if - you don't want Arnold to let go of his treasure tools.
At that time, heaven descended behind Arnold's brain. Pieces of all the puzzles connected.
You didn't think you were stupid about yourself at level seven?
Neighbor Citrine was smiling, but his eyes dwell in a cold light that looked like a bug. The facial expression cannot hide the light behind his eyes from Arnold, even if it is deluded.
I look up at Arnold the way the neighbor Aye said he was afraid.
"Mr. Arnold?
"............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ Right...... 8 Million Gears - No, 10 Million. I'm not going to lose, let's have them pay with all their ears."
It's expensive for that creepy mask, but from a high level hunter, it's easy to pay, such an amount.
"Thousands of Changes" rounds eyes. I watched Arnold with the sight of Citrine as if he were asking sincerity.
My people are bothering to see if Arnold's reaction was unexpected. but Arnold, the leader, has the right to make all the decisions for "The Fog Thunder Dragon". If the mask of meat sold for 10 million gels, it would already be your word.
Neighbor Ei looks at Arnold dissatisfied.
"Are you sure, Mr. Arnold?
"Oh. 'A little dangerous' treasure, apparently..."
To Arnold, who distorted his lips and gave him an intimidating grin, The Thousand Changes shook his shoulders with Zokri.
"You didn't think I wouldn't sell on provocation?...... Hmm. I did get hit by a woman at your place, but that's not what I'm talking about. For one thing, I'll leave you what you didn't."
…… Oh, that's... I'm so sorry "
Thousands of Changes scratches cheeks as confused.
In the first place, it's pretty unnatural at a time when a high level hunter who also goes to level eight comes directly into negotiations to get a little dangerous treasure gear.
An unnatural change of expression because it's "Too Natural" in The Thousand Changes. This is very informative.
Mixed words of lies. My relationship.
Reminds me of a very physiologically disgusting mask of tough meat deposited in the appraisal, Arnold felt something cold in his spine for the first time in a long time.
Breathe slowly and see Klee Andrich's "Eye" with a troubled look on his face.
Eyes say things as much as their mouths, but only bewilderment can be felt from a black iris reminiscent of darkness, and the emotions hidden behind it cannot be read.
But - how did he get into such an obviously unnatural negotiation? The situation was a little complicated, but the intentions of the man in front of him were obvious if he thought calmly following the order in which he stood.
Perhaps that meat mask is - not somewhere 'a little', but something dangerous enough for a Level 8 hunter to rush for recovery.
And Thousands of Changes intends to "push" Arnold and the others with the treasure. No, maybe, 'from the middle of nowhere' that's the kind of strategy I changed.
I didn't see a lie in the word that it was an illegitimate treasure.
And the character of The Thousand Changes, inferred from Aye's investigation.
There is one conclusion to be guided.
By chance, Thousand Changes decided to come to a direct negotiation with the owner to find out that an extremely dangerous treasure item could hang at the auction and get it before it got into the hands of people who knew nothing else.
The aim is probably - to stop the use of that treasure and ensure its disposal.
According to Aye's investigation, The Thousand Changes has solved many cases in this city before. It's a sweet story, but a man who can move without profit is everywhere.
But that's where unexpected problems arise. The negotiator was coincidentally a committed party with his own.
It is deadly for Treasure Hunters to be crushed in the face. I can lick it from the hunters around me, and sometimes it's rated as unreliable by my client.
In fact, Arnold's bowels boil back when he remembers that time. For hunters, face is sometimes heavier than gold.
Knowing at a glance that there is little to no eye for negotiations to work, The Thousand Changes immediately shifts policy.
Yes, I dared to use suspicious attitudes and words to strongly upset Arnold and the others and to try to take down the listing itself.
The purpose of The Thousand Changes is to prevent the use of that treasure tool - in case, to put it into an auction, a nobleman or a big merchant who loves rare things - or to stop it from being used by criminals.
I mean, it's best to keep it for yourself, but having Arnold and the others take down the auction can accomplish the purpose for now.
Dangerous treasures. You should let go.
If they say that, it's people's logic that they don't want to let go at all. If the opponent is an enemy, it's a misdemeanor.
But - Arnold will not be fooled.
"Are you licking me? Do you even think you're going to be stubborn in such a cute treasure...? Your purpose is to keep that treasure out of the hands of the others, right?
"Huh...?
It's an easy bluff to understand. Sure, if Arnold was a low-level hunter and still hadn't been able to swallow the anger of the day, he might have gotten on that word and stopped selling.
I may have assumed that Level 8 is the treasure you want until you lie.
But think calmly, what good would it do the Arnolds to take down the offer?
That treasure is a disastrous substitute to see. I don't think I would use it if I were a bit of a careful hunter.
I can't think about Arnold wearing that mask or anything, and if my buddy tries to wear it, he'll do everything he can to stop it.
I hear it's a dangerous treasure, so I have to keep it tight, and it's going to bear a meaningless burden.
Or, for once, an operation to buy time by letting them take down the listing? There is also the possibility of an operation to denigrate the Arnolds by accusing them of having dangerous goods. Actually, I can't say that there are other criminal organizations that are after things, and there's no possibility of those assassins attacking them.
Worst of all, isn't it possible to provoke Arnold to use the mask and even bury the mask away for every Arnold?
According to Aye's information, Thousands of Changes doesn't seem to be bad guys, but the Arnolds are hunters from outside. No matter what means they use, it's not strange.
Various possibilities rush Arnold's head in an instant. Arnold doesn't know the power of the mask. I also didn't actually see with my eyes the information in The Thousand Changes.
For that reason, the prediction doesn't really come out of the picture, but it certainly doesn't fall in the right direction for Arnold, no matter which possibility it hits.
Thinking about it, I feel like a horrible thing, with a missing face somewhere in front of me, ready to be spectacular.
Watch The Thousand Changes, which has remained silent since earlier.
Probably, it was being tried. Is Arnold good enough to notice true intentions without being fooled by superficial acts and overt lies?.
What would have happened if I had been so dumb that I couldn't read the intentions of Thousand Changes, or if my eyes were cloudy with anger...
And in that case, what options would Arnold have fulfilled?
How can I let the man who's been trying to manipulate this one with an obvious attitude swallow the most? How can it be of the greatest benefit to the Arnolds?
Dare you sell it to some nobleman or merchant, in total defiance of the intentions of The Thousand Changes? Even though there are no connections in this capital? In the first place, there are fools who don't think about selling treasure that they know is dangerous to the powerful. It's not hard to imagine "Thousands of Changes" with much credit in this land, or Arnold's words just here, which everyone believes. Too risky.
Use it yourself? Even an appraiser would hesitate to appraise an obviously dangerous piece of treasure? Arnold is brave, but he's not a suicide candidate.
Turn down negotiations and put them on the auction like this? You can let it out, but it's unlikely that that treasure will sell high. And it's probably The Thousand Changes in front of you that will win the treasure in that case. Because you can't restrict the successful bidder.
You want me to keep it at the party? That's what's on the palm of The Thousand Changes, which doesn't benefit anyone.
In countless thoughts, the answer I followed was simple.
Get in the negotiations and sell them off. Except - take that measure backwards, for a rather expensive amount of money that you can't refuse.
There is no risk on Arnold's part and the benefits are greatest. There is also no major disadvantage on the part of "Thousands of Changes". As a drop point - perfect.
"Well, what do we do?
You read too much? Of course, that's possible.
It is possible that a dangerous treasure is a "Thousand Changes" mistake, or - unlimitedly low, but oh it is not possible that a meat mask is a useful treasure.
But if it was a useful treasure, then you should poke at the fact that you lied in the negotiations, and whatever the truth is in the first place, that treasure was unnecessary for the Misty Thunder Dragon. I'm sorry to wear that treasure, even if it's useful. I've never been able to dispose of it here.
Do not misjudge. Fistful retribution is returned with a fist. It is foolish of you to explode your anger now.
What plunged the high prices there was at least a return of interest to the Thousands of Changes I've tried.
Ten million Gears. Unappraised, nothing is as expensive as being worn on a dangerous meat mask. Lifting her lips and laughing, Level 8, with only three people in Imperial Capital, gave her a somewhat pitiful look.
Perhaps you understood that Arnold had lost sight of all intentions.
Thousands of Changes will also be unexpectedly dealt with so calmly by the person who tried to trap them.
And there's no way I'm not getting that word.
This fight - it's our win.
Neighboring Citrine glimpses "Thousands of Changes" and nods, as Arnold expected, as he decides to.
"... ok. Pick it up with 10 million gels."
"Wait a minute!!
That's when I almost said it, the hunter of the man sitting at the table next to me broke into the fudge.
A scratchy face on burnt brown hair. He's a magnificent man I don't recognize. In the first place, Arnold doesn't know anyone in Imperial City.
When I glanced at him, the man hunter exaggerated his hands, laughed bitterly, and said.
"I don't want to fight anything else. I'll buy that treasure for twice that amount."
………… You, what did you just say?
Ai looks surprised at the unlikely intruder. "Thousands of Changes" also had a frightening look.
If it's also unexpected that there are hunters who would buy that meat mask off for 20 million geels, then it's unexpected that an unrelated man who was at the next table would suddenly raise his voice.
As Arnold, I don't care who you sell it to. I have no stewardship in this city or in The Thousand Changes, and if I can sell it high, I've never crossed it... What the hell is going on?
This guy must have just heard you say The Thousand Changes is a dangerous treasure.
Citrie had a bitter look on her face.
The hunters start to stand up and raise their voices in the liquor store, skinning that of a stranger.
Everyone, those eyes are serious.
"Well, I'll give you 25 million!
"Wait. I've been watching! I'll give you 30 million!
"It's the treasure that Thousands of Changes is trying to acquire by any means. I'll give you 40 million!
"Meh, it's for resale! Get out of here!
"Yes, what the hell is going on? These guys, what the fuck!?
Ai stands up and looks over the tavern in a hurry.
Soon there was an anger flying around in the tavern. An eyesight that even makes you feel murderous. There are even people who start working together.
All of them were shouting high prices. The drunk is watching a sudden auction with a pompous eye.
"Forty-two million!
"Thirty-three million!
"Damn, I'll give you 45 million!
"You don't have that kind of money! What are you talking about?
"Ugh! Sell out your gear, but I'll buy it!
What, are you kidding me? These guys, you want that meat mask so bad?
... is it also information I don't know yet? To an incomprehensible sight, Arnold roared.
When this happens, it becomes suspicious whether the "Thousands of Changes" measures I had anticipated until earlier were really correct.
Why do these guys want such tough treasure? What's going on?
Citrie checks around and sighs small.
"Ha... Mr. Klee will try to borrow money everywhere... you should have asked me from the beginning"
"Er..."
The price of the meat mask keeps rising, sighing distractingly. One of the drunk gets up flirtatious and starts partitioning impromptu auctions with a grunting voice.
I couldn't pack anymore.
Arnold doesn't know if the hunters who are fishing around for the price are seriously trying to buy out the treasure.
"100 million."
And in the fury of flying like a storm at that time, an unfortunate poor voice echoed.
Until then, the hunters, who had caught the price one by one, look at the voices in unison.
Standing up on the fallen table of the bottle, the luxurious looking white dress flickers. On its lower back was a sword that did not resemble a young limb.
"With its most powerful treasure... for 100 million, this Eclair Gladys will buy it! Ok!?
"Ah. That's why I hate nobles and merchants...... Mr. Klee, won't you pull back any more?
Citrie sighs weakly and pulls Klee's sleeve.
The girl named Eclair Gladys had a confident grin and stared down at The Thousand Changes.
