After finishing the breakfast that Clarice's sister, Mitra, had prepared for us.

I looked at the pile of loot and grinned.

Is this all treasure?

'Yes, they are!　All of them are treasures!

Leroy is proud of his chest.

I was about to drool.

Not for Loloi. It's for the treasure!

...Just to be sure.

Anyway, I couldn't stand it any longer, so I decided to have him start the appraisal immediately.

This is a "fragment of a mural painting of Kirke," this is a "lid of a medicine chest of Emilett," this is a "fragment of the blade of the iron sword Yggdras," this is a "hilt of the iron sword Yggdras," this is a "letter of the great merchant Grill," this is a "fragment of a mural painting of the hunting of Urfes," this is a "stone with a handprint of the Straits of Daltred," this is "a rusted gallon," and this is "a breastplate of Sir Loroi. Sir's breastplate," and this one: "......."

Loloi's "appraisal" revealed the original names of the junk one after another.

We wrote the name that Loloi told us on each one of them. We put a piece of paper with the name Loloi had given us on it.

I've heard the name "Grand Merchant Grill" several times in the bard's stories. To several wives in different parts of the world, as I recall. He kept sending letters to them until he died. ...... f*cking jealous son of a b*tc*."

Burgess said reproachfully.

'Then I'm sure there are many more just like it. Then these aren't very valuable.

Saying so, Loloi was about to take the "Great Merchant Grill's Letter" to the sorting place for elementary relics.

...Wait a minute!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No way!　The peddling of the great merchant Grill is almost a legend. It is even questioned whether he actually existed. If a genuine letter written by such a man were to turn up, it would fetch a tremendous price.

I looked at the faded ancient script written on the scrap of cloth. I could not hide my excitement.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After all, to appraise the value of an ancient artifact, a certain amount of knowledge is important. I was so excited that I couldn't hide my excitement.

How do you prove it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Even if we were to say so and try to sell it for a high price, no one would believe that it was authentic.

But if we take it to a bad item appraiser.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If you take it to a bad appraiser, he or she will try to buy it for a bundle of money by lying and saying it is cheap, or if it is not good enough, it may be replaced or stolen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

First of all, I needed to find an appraiser whose name was well-known, yet trustworthy.

And eventually.

We needed to know that we were the second party to have successfully completed a treasure hunt in the underground cities of the Earth Ruins, following the heroic party.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We could also publicize the fact that I was formerly a member of the heroic party.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This would add credibility to our story, and the relics we produce would naturally fetch a higher price.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But only after we have done a thorough preparation.

If we suddenly come forward, we will end up being called mere crooks.

Also, swords and other antique weapons need to be polished and restored.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There is also the option of selling the value of antique weapons as they are. But that would require a trusted appraiser, as I mentioned earlier.

It is thought that it is just a rusty armor and.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There would be a world of difference in the price between a mere rusty armor and a breastplate excavated from the lowest level of the earth ruins and used by "Lord Garon," an ancient duke who has left his name in the folklore.

For a while, use the orphanage (here) as a base.

It was necessary to make preparations to sell this loot at a high price.

Nopoi's way of doing things was annoying but reasonable.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If he gathered a large number of members with the help of mana, it would naturally lead to a big rumor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then, they could successfully explore the ruins (treasure hunt) and sell the relics, claiming that they were unearthed from the fifth underground level of the earth ruins. This alone will create a story, and the relics he offers will be recognized as "real" along with the credibility of the story.

Besides, he was well known in the first place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It is truly a null game.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...I don't know if Noppoi thought that far ahead.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It was the same for me when I was in the heroic party.

Ryan's party has explored many ruins in various places and defeated many magical beasts.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It is precisely because the relics and monster materials were brought in by "me, a member of that party" that they were instantly judged to be "real. It was instantly judged to be the "real thing.

But now I am...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I am still a nobody.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's why I needed to build up trust and achievements as a merchant from the ground up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As part of that, though.

With the 24,800 mana I received from Burgess, and my original amount on hand, I now had about 120,000 mana...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I bought the "wagon" and "peddler's permit" that I had longed for.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The total was 115,000 mana.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I had 1,200 mana left.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh no..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It was so close, I was starting to laugh.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I have food, water, and a place to sleep, so it's not that much of a problem. But we were running out of manpower.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If we really wanted to sell valuable relics, it would definitely be better to set up a wagon and sell them in the wagon peddling square.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It should be a good way to build up trust and performance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If it is an investment for that purpose.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This is a necessary expense.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

From here...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It still starts here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The destination is far, far away.

A big merchant with his sights set on the world.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But steadily.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I am advancing that path step by step.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's what I believe now.
