Sweet Reincarnation
247 Impossible Talk
On a beautiful day, people come and go.
Especially when it comes to territorial capital, more people come and go.
A young man who came to Thursden, Mortairn territory, put a carriage in a building. The young man, who jumped lightly from the carriage, looks inside the building and calls out where he sees the person he is looking for.
"Master, long time no see"
"Oh, Detmar, well done. Long time no see."
Detmar Stuck, a pedestrian trader, spoke up to his master, the head of the Nata Chamber of Commerce, Decoco-Nata.
Detomar, who had not returned to Mortairn territory for the first time in February, turned a bright, people-friendly grin to his nostalgic and reliable master.
I'm out of time.
"I hear rumors. I hear you're working hard inside."
Decocco welcomes disciples who admire themselves. I also approached him from himself, tapping him lightly on the shoulder and saying hello for the first time in a long time.
The Nata Chamber of Commerce is based in the territory of Mortairn and operates mainly in the southern part of the Kingdom of God. It is also a large store in the Wang capital. The employee is already a major chamber of commerce with triple digits and 10,000 units of gold to move, and a bit of a powerhouse if it is the meeting there. At least, they have far more gold than weak aristocrats, and the number of people who can move them. If you think you're hiring mercenaries for security, you're also carrying a strength exercising unit. Sometimes, there is a glance at the degree to which a man of aristocracy gives up his seat.
A beloved apprentice raised by such a meeting head by hand salt. Nata Chamber of Commerce employees also hear rumors as local celebrities. In addition, rumours of merchants entering and leaving Detmar have been collected with some intent. A pedestrian is a business whose income is unstable anyway, and it is not uncommon for a man who was the greatest yesterday to be overwhelmed with debt the next morning. That's why gathering information about the business partners involved is part of the job to avoid getting caught poorly on non-performing loans and non-performing inventory.
Loving apprentice of the meeting head. Dimensions such as gathering more information than necessary and gathered information being delivered under Decoc.
According to this, Detmar has recently successfully closed a slightly larger deal and is seen to be storing about a few years' worth of living. Sometimes my talents as a pedestrian have just been forged by Decoco in anticipation of boulders.
I mean, even if you skip your apprentices, you're good at having small money.
"Huh? Do you? Hey, am I finally a businessman on one end?"
Still young Detmar doesn't even know what's behind such a chamber of commerce and is happy to know that he's just become a little famous. Speaking of teenagers, self-expression appetite is also flourishing, and there is a strong upward orientation to doing it successfully.
The master Decoco stares warmly at Detomar, who scratches his head like it is illuminated. And he laughs when he hears what his disciple says about a "pedestrian at one end”.
"Ha ha, we'll still be wondering if we could have been a pedestrian at one end"
When I was younger myself, there was a time when I wanted to put my chest up as a pedestrian. I still didn't have a carriage or a trolley, and there was a time when I was carrying a cage and packing my load, walking down a roadless road and crossing a mountain, sweating on my forehead and coming to Mortaire territory to do business. By then, I felt like I wanted to make money quickly, buy a carriage or horse, and become a pedestrian at one end.
Anyone who aspires to be a merchant goes by, it's like a crossing point. I mean, it's nothing more than Sweet's rush yet.
"Tough. No, that's a good word."
"Because it's true. Look, you think when a kid says he wants to grow up early, he's just a kid, right?
"Ha. I see."
"When I start wanting to go back to my kids, whoever sees them is an adult. Same goes for pedestrians. As soon as we want to be a pedestrian in public, we still rush out, and when we start to miss that the rush was good, we're fine merchants."
In fact, Decoco himself sometimes wants to go back to being a trafficker asexually.
When I took a long journey from a distance and dealt with a pedestrian who brought in rare exotic goods. Two, when I remember that it's time for a festival in a distant city. Or when you do chores every day as the lord of the Chamber of Commerce and realize that your free time is diminishing. When intense duties followed and sleep deprivation persisted.
In exchange for instability, the pedestrian age when there was freedom. I miss it and want to go back. At that time, I recall being a city merchant who already owns a shop. I wanted to be that much of a city merchant, my own store I was in love with. Remind me that this is the dream I once dreamed of.
And again, I renew my readiness when I continue to work hard.
I guess nostalgic for the old days is the merchant at one end of what his disciples say.
"So I haven't?"
"I haven't done it in ten years, so there's no rush. You just have to go a little wider by layering the business that suits your length."
"Ugly."
Detomar is still young. Moreover, he has given away important things from his master as a roughly pedestrian, such as a carriage needed to carry packed baggage as a pedestrian, a prospective pedestrian route that should be built over time and with some degree of probability of profit.
Like a common pedestrian apprentice or a person who just left home when he became a merchant, it is not a situation where there is no money or connections. You don't have to rush.
Sure, just keep building up some profits and be willing to buy the experience.
It's a blessing at the start. Later, with more experience and number of training grounds, you will be a pedestrian at one end at some point.
"So, what have you got here today?
I usually treat my customers with silly politeness, but I dare to respond ruffly today because it makes sense.
Do you realize that or not? Detomar removed the covering cloth a little happily when asked about the product he had brought.
If you drop a bass, nocturnal cloth, what an interesting thing on the carriage carriage carriage.
"Dry meat and crumbs iron. The dried meat is salty, but it's thick and well drained."
Plain if you say so in a nutshell. No colourfulness whatsoever, meat and iron. It is also meat that is blackened for preservation and iron that is somewhat blunt in rusty red tea. Normally, I don't suppose I would choose something like this for a load of merchants, but there is a merchant familiar with Mortarn territory. Well, it was intentional.
"Hmm, I see. Sure, things are good."
Decoco, who distinguishes the products, also appraised the objects, roughly guessing the thoughts of his disciples. Seems like a decent commodity just for the disciple to brag about. At least, the meat never rots and turns green, and there's no sign of mold growing. It is undoubtedly a preserved, fine piece of meat.
"It's iron. I've collected what I used in the east, so I'm pretty sure it's about quality."
Next, scum iron discernment. By doing this, rust is floating, which in turn means that the purity of iron is commensurate with it. If you have a mixture or a crude product, the rust will not float this beautifully uniform.
I'll rub a little rust. He didn't even seem to apply the rust properly and seemed to be decent iron to the core he couldn't see properly. Occasionally, iron with mixtures such as bronze, charcoal, or sulphur-rich scraps is applied with rust to make it look high quality. I don't want to think that my disciples are trying to fool themselves, but it is possible that my disciples are also being fooled and grabbed by crude goods. Careful checks are essential.
Play some with your fingers, but make a similar sound. It seems that only some of the products are good and the crude products are not mixed.
"It's broken, but that's a lot of armor and swords. Is that some kind of military release?
Though scrap iron, it should have originally been some kind of product. From the fact that there are many broken or broken swords and the result of armor that has not been attached to the prototype because it is dented in the bump, it seems like it came from a very strong place.
What we need to be aware of is the possibility that this is “stolen goods”. The swords and armor used by the nobles may occasionally have hidden crests in difficult to understand places, so they may follow the route of buying and selling. It's a regular deal, and I think a decent chamber of commerce Nata Chamber of Commerce with a shield behind Mortairn would be fine, but if you get involved in reselling stolen goods, every unwanted trouble can hit you.
Especially this time, the carry-on is all shaped to look at. No, there are signs that we were all there. Confirmation that it is not stolen belongs to a category that is better kept.
Besides, I don't ask my apprentice if he's been stealing it. It would suffice to clarify where it came from.
"Master Boulder. Exactly. Some aristocrats in the east have been checked for accounting. He said he cashed in all the damaged items he had accumulated at the warehouse. I was able to buy it in good time at the Chamber of Commerce, which I picked up cheap due to circumstances. There is no warranty, but the quality is certain."
"Hmmm... nice"
"Yes, sir."
The Nata Chamber of Commerce also has some connections to the Territorial nobility of the east with the connection of the Mortairn family. From there, we also have certain sources in the east.
According to information that Decoco remembered in the words of his disciples, the momentum of the Eastern nobility should have temporarily increased with the fall of the Lutroot Border House in neighbouring countries and the annexation of the Kingdom of God in the Territory. Daikanya, in order to restrain it, it seems that around the courtroom aristocracy of the internal affairs system has moved. Regardless of the newly received aristocracy and others, it was thought that the aristocracy and others with territories in the east from time immemorial should have one or two dark things behind them if they could be reconciled, and that they might need cash after being pointed out.
A common method of obtaining sudden cash is selling off unnecessary and impatient recreational assets to incoming and outgoing merchants at low prices. In this case, if you don't pry into the extras and are a tough mouth merchant, you may be able to get a good deal. For some reason, rings for women that don't fit your wife's fingers are easy examples.
How does the general chamber of commerce handle goods purchased in a way that is a legitimate transaction but doesn't really want to be represented? It's a good pattern to sell to trusted pedestrians from afar. If you buy and sell close, you may be searched for a belly that doesn't hurt, so if you take it far away, it's your word. Opportunities for cheap access to good products, even as pedestrians in and out. Both are profitable win-win relationships.
It was thought that this time it would be the same.
Then we can trade without any temper. I decided to buy all the products I brought in.
"But this time, why did you choose dried meat and iron again?
Where I decided to buy it. Later it would be a price negotiation, but there's the master. Go explore discount stories that subtly lower prices.
"Hehe, well, I heard rumors."
"Rumors?"
"Rumor has it that mine development will begin in Mortairn for anything. The others seemed surprised (a lot) that it was a blow, but I see. This is serious."
"Ho."
The growth of the disciple is a joy.
Identifying the right and wrong information is an important element as a merchant. Believe in lies, demeanor, or exaggerated information, and roll around in merchant neighborhoods such as examples of massive damage. It's easier than looking for seashells by the sea.
Identify lies. Make it preliminary and profound for the merchant.
Now, if there are rumors that mining development will begin in Mortairn, it is “almost” a fact. In that regard, you must have been aware because it is Detmar, which is deeply connected to the Mortarn territory and the internal affairs of the Mortarn family.
"Master Pastry here recruited a large number of people from boarding cadet schools, and he had some important talks with the Ratesh family, and he said it wouldn't be far away without hitting mine development."
"So, dried meat and iron"
As always, good eye contact. To the power of the disciple, the master is half happy, half penitent. The part of remorse means fewer stories to buy and beat, and joy is, of course, the growth of the disciple.
"Yeah. Salty meat on sunshine sells well to manual workers. You can bet on booze, and there's definitely demand for a place as remote as a mine."
"Hmm."
"Iron is often consumed in mines, isn't it? Digging tools are mostly made of iron."
"Good point of view."
Word for word, as disciples see it. Manual workers sweat anyway. It takes more moisture, salt and calories than people, and it takes a lot of work to carry these away from people like a mine. In this regard, it is preferred that calories and salts can be consumed at the same time. When it comes to dried meat, it will definitely sell.
And mining tools are useless unless they are as hard as iron. Besides, damage and wear are normal. Demand for cast-melting scrap iron and creating mining tools is extremely high. I can definitely sell this first too.
"Make sure you buy it at a very high price. There's definitely demand, and how about eighty?
"I'd like you to consider the hassle of transporting meat from here to the mountains. If you expect demand, you can carry it yourself. Iron is rubbish as it is. Once you think about the hassle of casting and melting, you have the spiciness to handle it, and you need to negotiate with a blacksmith. If you want parts like haulage or renegotiation to be substituted, you can't snort at that price. If it's sixty, I'll hit you."
"Master, whatever it is, you must have gone too far with the commission. Even iron isn't rotten, and if anything, isn't it something that raises the value first? Seventy-eight, please."
The disciple was confident that he had undoubtedly carried a good product this time. It is expected that it will be okay to push here with strong energy.
As a deco, it would be nice if I let my disciples have flowers here, normally, but I still had something to do as a master.
"Hmm... let me teach my apprentice one thing. Negotiate on the basis of uncertain predictions, you will be left at your feet. Sixty-five. The reason is, look outside and you'll see."
"Outside?"
My master tells me that my disciple looks around from the building.
Sure, I was somewhat uncomfortable. I'm sure I find it very uncomfortable, but what's going on as a result? Detmar was looking for a mistake just in his head.
And then I realize one “impossible thing”.
"There are no mountains!!
From the sight in Detmar's eyes, the mountain that was supposed to be was missing a beautiful sapphire.
