 He told me he would buy as many bricks as he could find.

 Since my plan of making a fortune by mass-producing high-class tableware disappeared in a flash, I decided to at least give a blow to the peddler who said, "I'll buy as many bricks as I can now.

 So I told him, "Next time I come back, I'll have several times, or even ten times this many bricks ready for you.

 It seemed that the peddler had prepared well for the next time, because he had delivered the sandals seriously and did not take my words seriously as a child.

 They had come to the village again with bricks, a reasonably heavy item, and a means of transportation.

 I looked at the peddler's transport and muttered to myself, "I've never seen such a thing before.

 It is impossible for a person to carry a heavy brick on his back.

 So the peddler had brought a cart that was larger than usual.

 But it was not a man, a horse, or a donkey that moved the cart.

 A bipedal creature with glaring eyes, scales all over its body, and sharp claws on the tips of its hands and feet was tied to the cart.

 Just when you think you see eye to eye, the creature opens its mouth, which sticks out further than its nose, revealing large, jagged teeth.

 Such a creature had definitely never existed in a previous life.

 I take them and help him load them into the cart, arranging them neatly so that they don't fall apart, while the peddler tells me about the messenger beast.

 As the name suggests, a messenger animal is a creature that is used by people.

 However, it is not the same as capturing wild animals and using them as servants.

 This is because a Maserati is raised from an egg by a human being.

 It is said that if a person carries a Conjugate's egg with him or her all the time, the egg absorbs the person's magical power.

 The egg grows with the absorbed magic power.

 Then, a creature is born from the grown egg, and it is said to have the characteristic of becoming very obedient to the person who is its creator.

 Some of them are bipedal and reptilian like the one in front of you right now, while others are completely different in appearance.

 In other words, it is said that what kind of image is born depends on the person who raises the eggs.

 For this reason, people who can raise unusual or highly practical usable beasts are highly valued.

 On the other hand, it is said that there are many people who can only raise useless messenger beasts.

 Or rather, there are more people who cannot hatch them from eggs.

 I was told that there is always a demand for a beast that can be ridden, or even if not, a type of beast that can carry heavy loads.

 Thus, I asked the peddler to bring me some of the Conjugate eggs the next time he comes.

 Little did I know at the time that the price of the eggs would be just barely enough to cover the cost of all the money I had earned up to that point.
