The merchants and townspeople who had been watching from afar were in awe.

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

It was for the elf.

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

This elf had just handled two magical attributes, fire and water, right in front of our eyes.

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

That is quite unusual.

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

In fact, it is even rarer than for an elf to come down to a human village.

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

The basic magical attributes, called the fundamental attributes, include.

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

There are four basic magical attributes: fire, earth, water, and wind.

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

These basic attributes are called the four major magical attributes.

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

Usually, only one of these basic magical attributes can be invoked by a person on his or her own.

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

Since the primary attribute is no longer a natural talent that one is born with, it is said that, like natural skills, there is nothing that can be done about it later.

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

Furthermore, like me, I have "no primary attribute.

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

The majority of people in the world are unable to handle even one magical attribute, no matter how much training they have accumulated.

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

Therefore, if you possess even one primary attribute and are able to invoke the attribute magic of that system through training, you can already call yourself a "magician.

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

As a side note, there are also special magical attributes called "applied attributes" that are invoked with the help of spirits, such as "light and dark.

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

These can only be invoked by those who have mastered the magic of the basic attributes through further rigorous training. Once a person has reached this level, he or she can call himself or herself a "great magician.

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

The main attribute of Burgess, a magical swordsman who deals with the great fire and flame magic (terra flare), is definitely "fire.

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

Furthermore, it is thought that he can also use "light" applied attribute magic that borrows the power of the spirits of light.

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

This means that Burgess is a great sorcerer of the level of a great magician.

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

Back to this elf.

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

This elf had just invoked two basic attribute magic, fire and water, without even using a magic book.

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

That is something that is normally impossible.

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

That is why the surrounding merchants were so surprised.

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

Incidentally, I have only met one other person in the past who could manipulate two attributes besides this elf.

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

I had been traveling with him for 15 years.

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

Rushfeld, who was the black magician of the brave party.

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

She was a sorceress with two primary attributes of "fire" and "earth".

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

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

The elf took one look at the groaning thugs and then advanced to the front of my store and stopped.

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

I wondered if he was going to complain about something I had said earlier.

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

Maybe I'm going to get burned like those thugs now...

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

Loloi.

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

Right beside the elf, he is already poised with his Kaiser knuckles equipped.

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

If you try to do what you just did to Albus, Loloi won't allow it!"

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

If this elf shows any pretense of using magic, Loloi will strike at that moment.

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

My life depended on the ability of Loloi, my escort.

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

He was a lovely escort. But you seem to be a lot more skilled than the people you just set on fire.

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

If you're going to do it..."

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

"If you're going to do it..." "Guard, please put your fists in the air. I did not come here to fight.

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

The elf then turned to me.

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

Albus the relic dealer," he said. Do you have anything good to offer me?"

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

Somehow this elf knew my name.

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

I am sure my name has been around since the incident with Gandra, but...

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

I was surprised to find out that he had heard of the elves' hidden village and other such places.

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

What do you mean by "the good stuff...?"

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

'Ancient relics that you have unearthed from the deepest part of the earth ruins...'

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

In other words, this elf.

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

In other words, this elf had heard rumors of our successful treasure hunt and had come to this plaza for my store from the beginning.

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

What exactly are you looking for?

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

At any rate, it looked like I wasn't going to be burned, so I decided to be a little aggressive. I decided to be a little aggressive.

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

I was looking for a weapon with a magical attribute skill. Or perhaps an ancient grimoire with a lost magical attribute.

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

I'm not going to offer such a valuable item here.

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

I have 500,000 mana right here, right now.

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

The elf woman took out some sealing stones from the bag at her waist.

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

Certainly, there seemed to be about 500,000 mana worth.

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

How would you like them?"

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

The jade green eyes narrowed as she said that.

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

It is true that 500,000 mana is enough to reach the market price of special grade relics.

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

Actually...

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

I had intended to auction off all of my special class relics, but that seems to be impossible.

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

According to Gandra, there is a "quota" for the auction.

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

Therefore, as a first-time participant and a non-aristocrat, it would be impossible for me to put all the special-class relics in my possession up for auction.

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

It is said that no matter how well you do, you may or may not be able to secure two or three slots for your exhibit.

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

There is a way to sell sets, though.

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

If it is a set of items, it will probably be difficult to get a price for it.

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

If so, then...

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

If they are serious about buying and are willing to offer a reasonable price, it is possible to sell the special class relics here.

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

I see.... I know you are serious.

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

If that is the case, we will be serious too.

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

If it's a business meeting, not a killing match, then that's my business.

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

I've already appraised the items, and here are the ones that seem to fit the bill.

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

Saying this, I showed her four pieces of armory and two grimoires.

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

Alfred's dagger (strengthens fire magic).

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

The Dagger of Cyrel (water attribute)

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

The bracelets of Arcogilla (attribute protection, wind/dark)

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

Gatlant's magic shin guards (attribute protection, dark)

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

Ancient Grimoire (Lost Ice and Snow Magic) x 2

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

Ancient grimoire (lost thunder and lightning magic) x 2

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

All of the weapons had been appraised by Gandra, the appraiser, as well as by the skill appraiser.

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

The merchants around us were buzzing with excitement.

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

Weapons with magical attribute skills would definitely be classified as special grade.

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

And magic books with ancient magic attributes, which are neither basic nor applied attributes. They are quite valuable.

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

If all the items I just put out were put together, they would definitely exceed 500,000 mana no matter where they were sold.

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

The elf said, "It was worth coming all this way.

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

"Alfred's pocketknife (enhanced fire attribute magic)"

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

"Arcogilla's bracelet (attribute protection, wind/dark)

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

The Book of Ancient Grimoires (Lost Magic of Ice and Snow)

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

"The Book of Ancient Grimoires (The Lost Magic of Thunder and Lightning)

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

I chose the following four.

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

How much do you want for these four?

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

Well, 490,000 mana..."

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

I want 200,000 mana for the sword, 250,000 mana for the bracelet with two attribute defense skills, and 20,000 mana for each of the grimoires. The grimoire is 20,000 mana each.

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

The price of the sword would be about 150,000 mana.

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

For the woman in front of me who deals with fire attribute magic, she would probably want to get her hands on it even if it was a little expensive.

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

Isn't it a little expensive?"

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

I guess I'm estimating the value of magic documents too high. It is a good idea to use it in a different way.

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

When I deliberately waved a conversation about something different from a pocket knife, the woman bit down.

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

She asked, "But aren't Raiden and Hyosetsu grimoires frequently found in other relics?"

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

If so, why don't you just buy them from another relic merchant?"

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

The elf laughed a little, "Huh.

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

It was wrong of me to show you my handheld in the first place.

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

What are you talking about?"

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

I replied, trying to appear nonchalant.

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

She was right.

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

I could have made a price based on the fact that she was willing to pay up to 500,000 mana.

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

If it were true, I would have wanted to push the price even higher and see how it goes...

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

Then, how about 450,000 mana for everything combined?"

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

Then, the woman suddenly bargained down 40,000 mana.

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

That's a whole grimoire's worth!

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

You know..."

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

I can't get that much, can I?

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

I was about to say so, but stopped.

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

The jade green eyes of the elf woman were looking straight at me.

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

I had bargained for about 50,000 mana at the beginning, so actually, even 450,000 mana is still higher than what I think the market price is.

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

This woman...

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

She probably knew the price I had bargained for and bargained down to 40,000 mana.

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

That's what I felt.

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

And then, she probably said, "I'll let you have flowers for 10,000 mana," or something like that.

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

It was very aggravating for me to go along with what he was telling me.

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

It was not good to have my 50,000 mana offer spoken so loudly here.

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

If we could both get what we wanted comfortably, that would be fine, too.

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

All right, we have a deal."

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

I decided to break even on the amount there.

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

Thank you very much. I got a good deal."

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

With that, the elf, who had covered her mouth, narrowed her jade-colored eyes and smiled.

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

The elf, who had covered her mouth, narrowed her jade green eyes and smiled at me.

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

And so that day.

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

I got 450,000 mana in exchange for two pieces of skilled armor and two grimoires.

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

The elf was about to leave after inspecting the purchased armor and grimoire, leaving me with the mana I had paid for them.

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

There are still some unappraised relics," he said. If you still have some mana left over there, perhaps you can introduce them to me another day.

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

I said to the elf as I was leaving.

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

This is the main reason I accepted the elf's offer of a discount.

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

There is a limit to the number of items that can be sold at an auction, and not all of them can be sold.

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

If that happens.

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

A customer who can pay 500,000 mana with a drop of money, elf or not, must be a very valuable customer.

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

It would be much more valuable to connect to the next one than to settle for mana here.

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

The elf did not answer.

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

He gave a small bow and left.

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

Some thugs tried to follow him, but...

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

The elf glared at them and they backed away.

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

→→→→→

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

'Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ！！！！'

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

And Loloi is very excited.

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

'I didn't quite get it, but it sold for soooo much!

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

You didn't quite get it!"

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

I couldn't help but to shove it out loud...

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

I've never seen a weapon with an attribute skill before.

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

d*mn!　I'm going to challenge the earth ruins now too!

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

The guests around us were very excited.

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

Along with the story of the elves who appeared in the human village.

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

The amount of my relics sold was a pretty big topic of conversation.

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

I had experienced selling special class relics many times in the central continent when I was in the heroic party.

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

I had a general idea of the market price...

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

From the merchants in Kirket, the amount seemed to be quite high.

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

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

That night.

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

'For real...?'

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

When I handed over a sealing stone worth 150,000 mana, 1/3 of today's relic sale amount of 450,000 mana, Clarice's receiving hand was trembling.

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

You're going to save 6 million mana, right?　What are you going to do if you're scared of 150,000 mana?

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

Ah, ah..."

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

Loloi turned to Burgess and Clarice.

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

Loloi was talking over and over again about the exchange between me and the elf girl.

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

As he talked, he seemed to be remembering and getting more excited.

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

Loloi's excitement was back.

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

But I was actually getting a good feeling about today's case.

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

There are still many relics with unappraised skills.

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

If the appraisal of skills progresses along with Gandra's appraisal, we should be able to find more valuable items.

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

If so...

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

With the mana we earn here, we can start an even bigger business.

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

Depending on the amount of mana I can earn, I might even be able to buy land and buildings in Kilket and have my own house and store.

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

Thinking about this, I could not sleep well that night.
