"I mean, 300 million?... Isn't this a strange price?

"Was it too cheap? When it comes to this class of equipment, it's hard to put a price on it -"

"It means it's too expensive!

300 million geese.

If the monetary value I hear from Tania is correct, with this amount, the average person can live without working for the rest of their lives.

This price with one weapon just doesn't feel right.

That's what I thought and said...

"Given the performance, I don't think it's even expensive. The last sword was 50 million."

Fifty million with that sword?

The original sword was certainly carefully crafted, but objectively the performance is far below this sword.

Sure, considering it's six times that price, I also feel reasonable.

"But... can I get this much?

"It's okay. If a sword like this were for sale on the market for 300 million geese, I would buy it, and... If you fight with this sword now, you'll feel confident that you can take your place."

... oh.

A top adventurer is something you can earn.

Well, Mistalt seems to be the main force of the First Branch, so he's probably special among the top adventurers.

"Well, I'll take this thankfully"

"And... I have one favor to ask."

"What?"

"The potion that" The Use of Fire Dragons "got... that's the one that Mr. Marzen made, right?

Did you already tell the story of the potion I made?

Sure, when the potion on the market is that harsh, there's no point in my potion being treated as a great product.

With decent medication, adventurers will be very easy to fight.

"Oh. It's true that my potion was sold to The Use of Fire Dragons. Through the guild."

"It can be expensive, so... I want you to sell me the potion, too. I'm moving to the second branch, so I don't think it's a problem as an alchemy guild."

"Okay. I'll make it later, so calculate the number you need."

Apparently, there are more buyers for the potion again.

Originally, hassle hasn't changed much where we also have to recreate potions to sell to The Use of Fire Dragons. Sounds like a round profit.

Will you just procure the ingredients and make them again?

But... at this rate, demand for potions is going to keep increasing.

I don't want to be a potion maker.

Plus, putting a ton of high-quality potions out there is going to take away the Alchemy Guild job.

People in the Alchemy Guild don't want to take their jobs away if possible because they seem like good people (alchemy arms anyway).

... right. I came up with a good thing.

◇ (One week later, at Adventurer Guild Labyrinth City Branch I)

"What's happening!

A rough yell echoed in the guild.

Normally, if anyone in the guild yells, it is stopped immediately by another official.

But today, no one stopped him.

I yelled at him because he was the supreme power on this occasion - the Risal-Guistar, who presided over the First Branch of the Adventurer's Guild - who was nothing else.

Officials turned a blind eye from the frustrating branch control.

Apparently, no one wants to go out of their way to meet the Branch Supervisor.

That meant that even inside the branches of this guild, there were no allies of the Branch Control Risal.

(Whatever's going on, shit, it's your fault...)

One of the guild clerks makes a bad move in his heart.

The Branch Supervisor Risal, who came from Wang Du three years ago, had a previous reputation for excellence only because he had risen to Supervisor at a young age of 25.

But - the reality was, it was terrible.

Indeed, the first year saw results.

The number of demonic crusades has improved by as much as 30% in just one year, so much so that the story of awards has been lifted from Headquarters.

But that was in exchange for the lives of many adventurers.

By deliberately adjusting the ranks, texts, etc. of the requests to allow adventurers to receive dangerous requests in a way that would otherwise deceive them, the First Branch, led by Risal, was producing results.

Naturally, the number of deaths and injuries increases.

The adventurers, realizing that, began to be dissatisfied with the Alliance.

Those who wanted to leave the first branch and move to the second also appeared.

Naturally, I put pressure on those people to shut them up, but there are limits to that.

... So what Lizard used was discrimination against alchemists.

Originally there was a sense of discrimination against alchemists in this world.

Risal used it well to point the spear of dissatisfaction at the alchemist.

This operation worked in the beginning.

Ratings spread throughout the Labyrinth City that it wasn't the guild that was bad, but the alchemist who couldn't make the drugs that would soothe the adventurer, and dissatisfaction with the First Branch eased.

The number of crusades was no longer as high as the whole season, but it was about the same as it was before Risal took office.

But the number of crusades went down day by day.

Come to think of it, it's natural.

If the adventurers who actually fight die or suffer injuries, the next day fewer adventurers will be able to take part in the crusade.

- This phenomenon was not limited to labyrinth cities.

The other branches to which Ryzal belonged in the past also had better results in the short run, but have since fallen sharply.

It is the identity of a man named Branch Supervisor Risal who has been made up of holes in the Alliance's system and 'consuming' resources called limited adventurers, that we only see the results while in office.
