Albus...let's say you and Loloi sell relics while Clarice and I continue to sell herb-roasted codlice. How much do you expect to make from that?"

Burgess asked the obvious question.

The amount of mana we can make by then will be more important than what we have now," he said.

I guess so," he said. If I were to open a store from now until the auction without a break, I would probably be able to earn 400,000 to 500,000 mana from the Codoris ware. As for the relics, if they sell more and more and the selection of relics gets worse, the sales will also start to decline. So, I expect to make about 1 to 1.5 million mana.

"It looks like we can go further than I thought!

Clarice said this with a bit of excitement.

If we assume that all business from here on out goes well.

Assuming that everything goes well from here on out, we will have 5.25 million mana on hand at the start of the auction, along with what we have on hand now.

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

If we add the amount of the items to be auctioned to that, we will definitely be able to reach 6 million mana.

Then, the biggest problem is the order of the auction.

How much mana would be added to the 5.25 million mana to be sold at the auction of this mansion? The first thing that mattered was the order of the auction.

I had learned a lot about the format of the central Kirkett auction from Gandra beforehand.

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

According to her, the auction would be roughly divided into "pre-registration" and "auction on the day.

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

The process of pre-registration is as follows...

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

(1) Register the items to be auctioned at the auction headquarters.

(2) The Auction Headquarters determines the order of the auction.

The order of the auction is determined by the Auction Headquarters.

The order of the auction will be announced to us on the day of the auction.

The flow of the auction on the day of the auction is as follows...

(1) All the funds (mana) prepared for this auction are deposited at the auction headquarters.

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

(2) Participants conduct the auction according to the order of the auction items, within the limits of the deposited funds (mana), and the mana deposited at the auction headquarters is increased or decreased according to the sales results at the auction.

(iii) The remaining amount and the disbursement of the auctioned items

This is how it works.

In order for us to go to the auction of this mansion, which is our main goal, with more mana in our hands...

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

We needed to get our relics to the auction before the mansion.

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

If the mansion was first in the auction order, we were out.

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

At that point, we would only have 5.25 million mana on hand, even if the subsequent business went well.

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

In order to be in the best position, we must sell off the relics first so that we can come to the mansion with more mana on hand.

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

Let's get Gandra to approach the convention headquarters. If we can bribe someone at headquarters with a few tens of thousands of mana, we will look into that. This is not a case we can just leave to chance.

Everyone nodded broadly.

By the way, how much do you estimate the total value of all the relics to be exhibited?

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

Clarice asked.

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

Naturally, that's a pretty important part of it.

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

Well..."

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

Actually, the registration of the items to be auctioned. In fact, the registration for the auction had already been completed three months before the auction was to begin.

Because I had been able to obtain three slots through Gandora, I was able to fully use those slots to select and select items. I decided to use all of them to sell a set of selected relics.

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

The first was.

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

The first was a set of the equipment and armaments of the ancient Duke Sir Garon.

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

This is the equipment of Sir Garon, whose name has been written in history books, and it is a complete set of full-body armors.

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

Although it does not have any special skills, it is a coveted item for the collection. It would be a coveted gem for the collection.

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

This was estimated to be no less than 2 million mana for the set.

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

The second is.

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

Seiken Arminas (remote attack, wind/strike).

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

It has "remote attack" and "add wind attribute" skills, which are the best skills for combat attached to a weapon.

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

It is also suitable for nobles who are not familiar with this area. The fact that there are currently only a dozen or so such weapons in the world with the "remote attack" skill makes it easy to understand their value as a rare item.

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

This one was estimated to cost no less than 2 million mana for a single piece.

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

And finally.

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

'A letter from the great merchant Grill, and the jewelry he gave to his wife, Sally.'

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

The letter in his own hand, which proves that the great merchant "Grill" mentioned in the bard's poem really existed, and the jewelry he gave to his wife, Sally.

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

The jewelry that Grill is believed to have given to his wife has been restored to its original state by Gandra, and is now shining brightly.

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

They are the best of the best, stimulating the collecting desires of aristocrats who love shiny objects and curiosities.

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

This one was estimated to cost no less than 3.5 million mana for the set.

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

If we could go into the auction of the mansion with everything sold out, we would have an additional 7.5 million mana or so.

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

The 3.25 million mana we currently have on hand.

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

And the 2 million mana that we will hopefully be able to earn during the period between now and the auction.

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

In addition, 7.5 million mana is expected to be earned from the sales of auctioned items.

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

All together, 12.75 million mana.

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

We can do this, Albus!

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

Clarice was so excited that she felt short of breath.

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

This really buys the mansion!　You did it, sis!"

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

Clarice jumped up with joy and clung to Mitra.

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

Mitra's mouth twisted into a slightly annoyed expression.

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

It's still too early to be relieved.

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

I interrupted her, "I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I'm not going to let you get away with this.

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

If I got carried away with this, I might lose my footing.

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

What did you say?"

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

Clarice looked doubtful.

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

It's well over the market price of six million mana, even double that. That's definitely more than..."

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

That's not even assuming that Jimmy Radiak competes with us on price. Like the order of the auction, if the other side gets pissed off and raises the mana, that amount goes to the blue ceiling."

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

Furthermore, everything else in the hand is a 'if all goes well' amount.

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

A little accident or misdirection could easily reduce it.

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

'Then... what am I supposed to do?

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

'I'll take it from here and think of some other business, whether it's 100,000 mana or 500,000 mana, to make extra money. The key is after 6:00 p.m., after the peddler's square closes. I'll figure out a way to use that time to make some extra mana...somehow."

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

Everyone stared at me, including Mitra, who barely spoke.

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

'What...what's wrong?'

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

'No...it's just that I've never felt so dependent on Albus before.

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

'Really?　I'm the same as always.

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

As usual.

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

I'm just thinking about making money as a merchant.

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

Anyway, we're starting back up tomorrow. The auction order and the new business. Of course, the relic sales and the Codrys baking will have to continue to make sales as usual, so we're going to be crazy busy.

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

Needless to say, Burgess, Clarice, and Loloi were all motivated, not to mention me.

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

Mitra ended up sitting there from start to finish without uttering a single word.

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

I had no idea what she was thinking in the end.
