Chapter 32: Another Encounter
According to Melu, the jeweler Asperger is a legendary businessman in the jewelry industry.
He is a strange-tempered, rule-oriented businessman, especially disgusted with black-hearted profiteers who mess around for petty profits.
The know-how of jewelry processing and how to quickly amass wealth is silent to others.
But~
Is this really the case?
"Ghost Genius, magic is like your third hand, please hold this piece and feel it."
Asperger pulled out a piece of crystal-like ore for me to feel.
When I touched the fragment, I could feel a force flowing through my body, no, I guess the power itself existed, but now I can feel it through this fragment.
"I think I feel it."
"Well, yes, it's a subtle feeling."
"Is it okay to recite the magic spell I taught you the other day?"
"Hmm."
I closed my eyes and thought about it, concentrating, and a row of incantations was carved in front of me that only I could see.
"The Shield Warrior, who is the source of power, hereby commands. Interpret the theorem again and give protection. Instant perseverance"
An object icon appears in the field of vision, and I try to click on myself.
A faint light enveloped me.
Next, I checked the stat stats, and although the defense was not as high as I thought, the blue cost was relatively low. Overall, this skill is not bad.
"It seems that you already have a way to learn magic, so I'll teach you the magic bestowing skills."
Asperger nodded in satisfaction, and then taught me the magic bestowing techniques.
A few days ago, in that mutant plant-infested village, I met this jeweler Asperger, who did not expect that this jeweler was the owner behind the purchase of my balloon wreckage, and after some chat, Asperger wanted to pass on his jewelry processing and business experience to me, just because he felt that there were not many young people like me who were full of desire, and hoped to train me.
After that, I began to receive guidance from jewelers and successfully learned the skills given by the magic.
It is a technique of giving magic to a processed gemstone in order to control the directionality of the gemstone's power.
Although the effect was not very good at the beginning, it began to gradually achieve some results under the correction of the effect of the handicraft shield later.
It's done.
Ruby bracelet
Fire Magic Power Up (Normal)
Durability - High quality
Good quality - good quality
"Hmm~, it seems that the ghost has made a pretty good piece of jewelry."
"Really? Then Asperger, let you estimate it, how much?"
"I'll take a look."
Asperger took out his identification glass and took a closer look.
"Estimated at around 60 silver coins"
"Really?"
"Yes"
"Mr. Asperger, then I think this bracelet can be sold for about 90 silver coins or 1 gold coin."
I picked up the ruby bracelet and said.
"No, no, it's impossible. You're kidding."
Asperger's magnifying glass was rubbed off, thinking I was joking with him.
"Hehe, I'm not kidding, let me ask you, Mr. Asperger, can ordinary adventurers afford such jewelry?"
"The price of sixty silver coins is still a bit high for adventurers of level twenty or thirty"
"So how much can they afford to pay for their jewelry?"
"Well~, the price of jewelry is about 30~40 silver coins is affordable, but the jewelry in this area is poor or second-hand."
"Hehe, then I have an idea to share with Mr. Asperger."
"Oh~, I smell the money"
So, I told Asperger what I thought.
We can sell the jewelry to the adventurer at 30% of the original price, and let the adventurer pay the rest of the money at 10% of the price of the jewelry, so that the installment is paid for 12 months, and after a year, it can be sold for 1.4 times the original price.
After a year, the adventurer pays off the debt, and the jewelry should be almost used, at this time, you can propose a strategy of recycling the old jewelry at a low price or trading in the old for the new, so that the waste can be reused, and the recycled gems can be reprocessed and then sold, reducing costs...
"I see, it's a pretty good idea, but what if the adventurer doesn't pay his debts?"
"So here you need to borrow the power of the guild, adventurers need jewelry is nothing more than to fight monsters to complete the guild task, once the adventurer is overdue, then please ask the guild to stop the adventurer's qualifications, you see. Of course, we need a good salesman, but Mr. Asperger should have a good one. ”
"Awesome!! This idea can be considered a milestone in the business world!! That's amazing, Mr. Ghost. ”
"Hahaha, it's okay."
...........
In this way, Mr. Asbert and I discussed my business experience for a few days.
In the end, they separated in reluctance.
After two weeks of travel, we finally reached the Merlomag border.
Obviously, according to Philo's footsteps, it could have been there in a week, but it was Meru who always pulled to help the east and the west, and Raphtalia and Philo also coaxed to get to this point.
Just as we're about to get through the level.
"Thunder Gun !!"
the gods.
I looked out the window, and Motoyasu was holding a spear and a bitch and waiting for others, blocking in front of me.
The first thing we said when we met was
"Hand over Princess Merro"
Ha? What the situation.
I glanced at Meilu, who shook her head as if I didn't know.
"Hey, Yuanyasu, what do you want?"
I got out of the car and looked at Yuanyasu unhappily.
"Shut up, let Princess Merlou, Miss Raphtalia, and Philo and the rest of the gang go!!"
"Mr. Motoyasu, may I ask if you have misunderstood something, Princess Meilu is willing to be with us."
Raphtalia went up to explain, hoping to clear up the misunderstanding.
"As the heir to the throne of the source of power, I hereby command. Interpret the theorem again and give a punishment. Whirlwind Slash"
"Meteor Wall"
When Raphtaglia was defenseless, the bitch princess directly cast an attack magic, but fortunately, I released the skill "Meteor Wall" in time.
A pale blue light barrier blocked the whirlwind current.
"Tsk"
The stinky bitch snapped her tongue, and it seemed that she didn't hit Raphtaliya, and she was very unhappy.
"Hey~, what do you want to do?"
It's been a long time since I've been in a bad mood, but it's okay, stinky bitch.
Shield of Pride is charged by 25%.
"Hurry up and hand over Princess Merlu, or don't blame me for being rude, ghost"
"My subordinates are defeated, and there is so much nonsense, I want someone, knock me down"
I stretched out my middle finger and said defiantly.
"Don't be too arrogant, ghost, I'm not the same as I was two weeks ago"
The legendary spear in Motoyasu's hand, lightning entwined, and then an even more handsome lightning spear appeared in front of me.
"The justice preached by the world, I take this gun as my will, and I am full of hope and love poured into this gun, so I listen to my summons, thunder and lightning strike"
Soon, just as Yuankang finished reciting the oath, the golden spear struck like lightning.
