Loran had come to the Quest Reception Office to secure Range's desired personnel.

"Ah. Dear Loran. Welcome."

Previously, the young receptionist, who had dealt with her in a transverse manner, looked completely frightened and had dealt with her in a more obscene manner than necessary.

I was sitting in a chair, but I bothered to get up and keep my head down.

It's been at this rate ever since Loran became the representative of The Spirit's Factory.

Lillianne put pressure on me not to let Lorraine go down.

The receptionist, along with her boss, made a big rush to visit under Loran to apologize.

Though "Guardian of the Magic Tree" is inferior to "Golden Eagle," it couldn't be lost as a quest reception, as it is a large mouthful of customers.

Even though the receptionist had asked for the "Golden Eagle," she apologized for being too well, and since then she has been dealing with it in a totally frightened manner.

The way she apologized was so desperate that Loran was more frightened.

What can I do for you today?

"Eh, today, I came looking for five people with skills' Ore Mining 'over B, and five people with skills' Item Storage 'over C."

"Yes, I did. Please wait."

She turned the file apart at an unusual rate, satisfying Loran's demands, looking for an alchemist and an item storer.

"There you are. There are five of you with the skill 'Item Holding C'"

"Well, you should be ready for the interview right away"

"Yes, I did."

She fills out the paperwork with Slurpee.

"How about" Mine Mining "?

"Eh. I'm sorry. Currently, there are no jobs offered for people above B in" Mine Mining "."

She came to apologize for her life.

"Oh, no, I can't help it if you're not here. Give me your head. You don't have to do anything like that."

Loran took control of her in surprise.

Even then, she passed through courteously and ended up with a grumpy attitude of customer service.

(But you're weak. If we don't get all five of the humans in "Mine Mining B," we can't meet Range's demands.

After all, few people are free when they become personnel of "Mine Mining B")

As Loran walked out of the Quest Reception and worried about sourcing personnel, the city already had a night book down.

The stores were lit up and everyone stopped by the liquor store on their way home from work.

I haven't stopped by a tavern in a while.

Loran remembered when he was an adventurer, always exchanging information in a liquor store to get tips on his adventures.

It's been a long time since I've knocked over the western door of a liquor store.

Then, just in the "Golden Eagle" era, I meet someone from the Alchemy Guild who had interactions.

"Aren't you Mr. Loran?"

"Mr. Zens. Long time no see."

The two hadn't seen each other in a long time, so they decided to drink at the table together to warm up their old relationship.

"And then Mr. Loran is no longer a member of The Golden Eagle?

"Yes. I was embarrassed to be deported."

"Really? Well, then, it's no problem for you to say something stupid about Lucius."

Zens began to expose his dissatisfaction with Lucius, as did the booze momentum.

"Not at all. It didn't happen. I thought I told you to deliver Iron A for 200 gold, and I told you to be careful with the refiners who can make 'Groundcraft'. Besides, this is the end of telling me to make the finest dowry tools out of silver."

"Silver craftsman?

"Somehow, the great man of the Saru aristocracy is holding a silver craftsmanship review to commemorate his dowry. I mean make a piece for you to publish there. Well, in short, you'd have the soul guts to use us in a noble mood. How the hell can you make the finest silverware while keeping a high-class refiner tight?"

Zens stirred up Yale seemingly insurmountable.

(Is Lucius making that many unscrupulous demands? Mr. Zens is in trouble, too. The city's biggest alchemy guild.)

Loran felt sorry for him unexpectedly.

"The scene is a mayhem. You know Lord Loran, don't you? How much money it costs to rank your skills"

"Yeah, sure."

The skills you acquire once do not deteriorate medium, but it costs a lot of money to improve your skills.

Zens should also be investing quite a bit ahead of time to improve their craftsmanship, but all that cost would be Zens' guild, and Lucius wouldn't have to pay for it at all.

"Now, Lucius' men are watching our kiln. Anyone above Ore Refining B who can refine Groundcraft can stay away from the cauldron. Almost got rid of any refiners who were going to wear 'Ore Refining A'. By the time we get back, we'll start all over again."

(Lucius is Lucius, too. How many dungeons were exposed to the Guardian of the Magic Tree? I can't believe I'm tightening up my ruling guild alchemist like this)

Loran is getting more and more sorry about Zens.

That's when the name comes to mind.

"Oh, yeah. Mr. Zens. Would you like to buy the iron we make? You can have Iron A for 100 gold. That would make 200 gold, but not at all profitable, right?

"A hundred gold iron a? That would help, no, but okay? At that price."

"Yeah, although it's a good idea to make it, Holla, isn't Lucius' guy dominating the alchemy-related market? So it's salted in the warehouse without anyone buying it away."

"I see. No, but it's kind of bad. We're on Lucius's side, too."

"What can I say instead, why don't you send five more staff over here than 'Ore Mining B'? Of course, if you're paying, I'll have it here."

"Ha. Well, I don't mind."

Zens had just been refined by Lucius and had extra mining staff and was just worried about what to do.

"Then it's settled. Yes. How about in the form of a departure for us, too, a refiner who is made to be cautious at any rate. So we'll also take on refining iron A and silvercraft materials."

"No, that's certainly a wish or a fulfillment. But is it okay because of all that?"

"Yeah, can you just make sure Lucius doesn't find out about this? Right now, I'm looking at Lucius, and I think if Mr. Zens finds out we're being outsourced, we're gonna be screwed."

"Hmm. Really?"

There's something here.

Zence, the boulder, also realized that there was a back to Loran's story.

But Zens also has no idea that there are people in The Spirit's Factory who can refine as many as a hundred 'Groundcraft' a month by themselves.

Besides, now was not the time to choose the means.

As it stands, his workshop will have enormous costs, he will have to fire a large number of officials, and if he does poorly, he will be bankrupt.

"Okay. Let's do everything Mr. Loran says."

The two decided to meet tomorrow somewhere out of sight and meet for more details.

After the tavern, Loran felt like he had a load on his shoulder.

(Huh. You've managed to find a way to recruit personnel. Looks like we can handle inventory, and now we can extend Range's management skills)

Loran had to be careful so that he could continue to sharpen Lange's skills as well as Arlier's.

There was an urgent need to procure staff to develop and maintain his managerial skills.

(It's hard to think of more people to hire, not at all)

Nevertheless, freed from the pressure by the prospect of personnel procurement, Loran began to think about the next step in the calculation to let Lucius blow a bubble again.

Loran stopped by an open weapons store even at night.

As things stand, the Alchemist Guild is mostly under Lucius' control, so everything in the city's stores was a weapon made by Lucius-controlled alchemists.

(cheap)

I thought while looking at the item.

All this is a broken cheap, and in The Spirit's Factory, no matter how hard you try, you won't be able to make a weapon cheaper than this.

(Some say Lucius is buying cheap, but I guess there's still a big difference between capital and size)

If you order large quantities of products at once, you get that much discount.

The side of the Alchemy Guild will also be able to maneuver and equip with the large amount of cash it receives to make the product even cheaper.

Ten alchemy guilds under Lucius are assigned a total of over 500 talented alchemists.

More than 500 alchemists are scraping their sneeze and supplying the market with cheap and massive weapons every day.

On the other hand, there are only two people still in Loran's workshop.

Even if I procured staff this time, there are less than 20 of them.

(This, then, won't be a battle no matter how much you stand upside down)

In fact, Lillianne also had to buy it from the Alchemy Guild under Lucius when only 'Earthcraft' would buy it from Loran, usually the weapon.

Loran thinks.

I was wondering what I could do to counter Lucius.

("Guardian of the Magic Tree" doesn't mean you'll always order "Earthcraft". Then we have to confront each other head-on in the field of this weapon. But the size and capital are too different, so we don't have a winner in price competition. When that happens, you can't make it for a guild under Lucius, like filling such a gap in the market, you just have to make a weapon. I need to make something that stands out. You can't just staff now to do that. No matter how high quality you can make, you can't make the only one. We need to find a staff with more peculiar skills...)

As Loran walks down the road to his room thinking, he sees a girl selling flowers.

She has a fine voice and speaks to those who go down the road to lack confidence.

That was unnecessary and obviously not suitable for sellers.

"Um, excuse me... Ah"

She tries to speak to a man on the road with flowers, but the man doesn't even notice the girl and just walks away.

The girl can fool around with Shomboli.

(Poor thing. There is nothing sadder in life than being made to do a job that is not suitable)

Loran thought of it and decided to try to test her skills.

Her skills were as follows:

"Silver Fine" B S

"Product Development" D A

"Product design" E A

"Jewelry Spirit Addition" A S

Loran took a breath.

(Become. The potential of 'silver craftsmanship', 'product development' and 'product design' are all more than a!? No, more than that. What's "Jewelry Spirit Addition"? This? I've never seen or heard of such skills. What is this unique skill?!?

Loran uses "Appraisal" to display a detailed description of "Spirit Addition".

"Jewelry Spirit Addition"

Skills of trapping spirits in gold and silver gems.

Especially trapped in silver is common.

The trapped gold and silver gems of the Spirit have a special effect.

"Hey, you."

"Yes?"

Loran accidentally speaks to the flower seller girl.

The girl who turned was the daughter of an elf with flowing silver hair, deep green eyes, and pointy ears.
