The Other Side of the Last Boss

46. Counter Strike ①

Returning to the Temple of Darkness, Adrigori arrived.

"What is it?

"I'm going to reschedule a little. I'll take the magic items."

"That's okay, what is it?

Adrigori finds me grumpy.

"... it's not a big deal. I didn't get something done. I just don't like it. That's all."

"If..."

I answer by blocking the adrigori from saying anything.

"So I'll do it back to my opponent"

I came to Grago, the capital of the Kingdom of Scottyard, with the accessories I made this morning in my bag.

And enter one of the big chambers of commerce.

"Welcome. What can I do for you?

"I want you to buy out the accessories. A magic item."

Informing them of the requirements, they are put through to a separate room for detailed business discussions.

Looks like the manager who is familiar with the magic items will respond.

I named him Valev.

"What kind of magic item is it?

"All stats increase by 12%"

"Just kidding. Even the finest products are 10%. Besides, I've never heard of all the stats up."

Deciding it was a joke, Valev laughs lightly.

But my eyes aren't laughing at anything.

They set me up.

I take my bracelet out of my bag silently.

Varev puts on his bracelet even though he looks frigid.

"Become. That's a really 12% increase!

Surprised as if Varev was struck by lightning, look here.

"How much will you buy me out?

"Where the hell did you get it?

I don't answer my questions, and I laugh when I ask them.

"There's no way I'm going to tell you how to get it. But yeah, I actually got it in the dungeon. I was lucky enough to find the treasure."

"Do you even think you'll get caught up in such lies? The ancient mankind did not make such an item. It can't be unearthed from a dungeon."

Just how could a Scottyard merchant believe a story like this?

"Believe it or not, it's your freedom."

"If you can give me real information, of course I'll pay you for the information. That's plenty already."

I won't answer Varev's question. You guessed it was futile, change the question.

"Is this mass-producible? Or is it something you happen to be able to do by chance?

The best accessories ever made have +10% status.

It is made over time by the best-in-class granting magician (enchanter).

As a result, the distribution volume is low.

"There's no way you can make mass production that easy."

It's a piece of trajectory that I stumbled upon, and I don't know if I can make it again.

Will this guy catch on if I say so?

But I don't know if I can lie right away.

I thought so and stopped saying it.

"If this means there's only one in the world, I'll buy it for £5m Scottyard."

There is only one in the world, and the value of that is another dimension.

The price would go up on the blue ceiling.

Conversely, you can make a hundred each day, and if they say so, its value will crash.

Prices vary according to demand and supply.

"But if it's going to be produced in the future, is that right, something like 200,000?"

"That's cheap."

I shake my head immediately.

"It's only 2% different from the finest products ever. I can't give you any more."

"That's the only thing that makes it worth more. Even if it was a 1% difference. Sometimes the difference divides life and death. People who buy this item will fight the Demon King in the future. I hope you don't cry because of that subtle difference."

"Okay, let's buy it for half a million. This is the limit."

Still cheaper than I expected.

"There are still dozens of big stores where you can buy this item. I'll negotiate with you and let you think about it."

I pretend to stand up.

"Okay, what about 70?"

Varev rushes to re-offer the price.

Being in such a hurry meant that I thought it was still okay to buy it at a high price.

"Okay. That's fine."

I would have caught more.

But it's a waste of time.

I decided to break here.

"It will take a little while to get all this money ready. Please wait a while."

Valev said so and left the room.

There are copper coins, silver coins, gold coins and white gold coins in this world.

One silver coin for a hundred copper coins. One gold coin for a hundred pieces of silver coins.

Ten pounds for one silver coin. It is £1,000 for one gold coin.

There is a penny in the unit under the pound, which is one pound for a hundred pennies.

£700,000 is 700 gold coins.

Gold coins alone are bulky, so I might mix white gold coins or use bills to finish them.

"Thank you for waiting."

There were 300 gold coins and four white gold coins.

I took it and left the store.

So I sold dozens of magic items to dozens of stores with 12% more stats.

Of course, Adrigori and a few others helped me.

My grandfather, who joined me on the way, sold me one for five million.

Jeko was fired instantly because he was priced 100,000.

Scottyard merchants are hard to grasp at high prices.

They are not going to lose money in even the worst cases.

The worst case they think.

There are actually already plenty of this item, and so on.

I mean, I did it this time.

So their judgment is not a mistake.

The purpose is not to make them lose money to merchants.

I stared at Scottyard's Royal Castle and transferred it.
