The next day, Dorn came to me to ask me.
'I've made a prototype, but how would you like it to look like this?'
　It seems to have turned out just as I wanted, and Dorn says so in a good mood as if he were singing.
　I was allowed to check the item with Erdena and Biblina as soon as possible.
　On the reception desk, there was a dragon scale shield that Dorun had brought with him and a prototype appraisal demon stone and appraisal book on the reception desk.
　When he placed the appraisal magic stone between the appraisal book and the armor, the magic stone began to glow with a golden color.
　This brilliance proves that the item described in the certificate is the armor next to it.
　Incidentally, when I changed this armor to the ordinary basket hand I kept in the room, the appraisal demon stone did not react at all.
''The magic that makes the magic stone shine gold is probably impossible for an ordinary wizard to replicate, so I think it's safe to say that this is a relief first.
　Saying that, Dorn stretches his chest.
　I'm sure you can understand the meaning of Dorn's words, because Eldena and I can also use some recovery-type magic.
　Moreover, Dorn has made up this appraisal magic stone with a very common magic stone.
　This is a technique that can only be done with a sorcerer's considerably high magical ability.
''Dorun, if you're going to do this much, you'll need to add to the reward for that...''
　I was about to say that.
　But Dorn told me.
''To me, this is just a trivial task. I usually don't do a good job other than maintaining the magic ship, so if you don't allow me to do this, I'll be punished for it.
''But they're also creating magic stones for me...''
That's a simple job that could be done by the rich who use them. It would be bad for my reputation as an Elder Rich if I had to keep getting paid for that kind of work.
　He kept repeating that, and he didn't even try to listen to me...

　In the past, Erdena used to create magic stones in this workshop, but Erdena did this work while becoming exhausted every day.
　It is true that both Eldena and I have some magical power, but compared to Dorn, the Elder Rich, we are not even close to his feet.

　I have no choice but to offer my deepest thanks this time, and I plan to thank you again at a later date for something else.

　Along with this, the distribution channel of the dragon scales has changed slightly.
　Up until now, the dragon scales dug out of the caves where they were excavating the sedimentary layer of dragon scales were transported to the dwarven settlement by the bone men (skeletons) that Salamander Sarah had summoned with her summoning magic during the night.
　The dwarves would then process it into armor.
　Instead of leaving the dragon scales, the skeletal humans who brought the dragon scales took them back and delivered them to Black at the central wholesale market.
　Here, Black discussed the matter with Jambalea, who manages the underground labyrinth, and the armor brought in was divided into two parts: one for the underground labyrinth and the other for sale in the central wholesale market.
　The goods being sold wholesale to the Quinn Trading Company in the royal capital are the ones that were sent to the central wholesale market at this time.

　So, during this process, the bone men who retrieved the armor from the dwarven settlement changed their route to go to Dorn's workshop.

　Dorn created a certificate of authenticity and a magical stone for each piece of dragon armor that was brought in, and then delivered the set to Black at the central wholesale market.
　The transportation from Dorun's workshop to the Central Wholesale Market is done by Dorun's errand boys and girls.

　By the way, Black, who is in charge of the Central Wholesale Market, has been absent since he has been away on a mission to support the reconstruction of Urinacombe.
　For this reason, the person currently in charge of the central wholesale market is an ogre named Ginn.
　Ginn is Black's right-hand man, who was a long-time deputy platoon leader in Black's merchant corps, and he is also Black's
You can't go wrong with him.
　He is a demon, so much so that he can say so.
　Always dressed in silver armor, the diminutive Gin runs around the central wholesale market from morning to night every day.
　His appearance has become a specialty of the central wholesale market, and on the occasional day when Gin is off
It's a bit boring not seeing Gin-san running today.
　There are even people in charge of purchasing from other cities who say so.

　So, I told Gin about this change in stocking route, but a few days later, Gin came asking for me.
"My lord, I have a matter that I would like to ask your permission to discuss...
　With that, Ginn cut me off from the conversation.

　Ginn was
This time, I don't forgive them for distributing fake dragonscale armor.
　After saying that, he invited a few demons into the lord's room.
''These guys have been with me since I was in troop commerce with Black-san, and they're my dependable subordinates.
　According to Ginn's story, these demons are intelligence agents who go to various places, acquire information on local prices and gossip, and pass it on to Ginn.
''........So, I thought I'd have these guys look into the people who distributed the fake dragon scale armor this time.

　Needless to say, I'm also quite upset with the people who spread the fake dragon scale armor this time.
　Therefore, I decided to give my permission to Gin's idea.
''However, just to be sure, you'll need to bring an escort with you as well. I'll talk to Chief Guard Googus about it.
I wouldn't worry about it, but we all have a certain amount of experience in the arts, don't we?
　One of Ginn's subordinates, a demoness, laughed at that.
　But even I can't compromise here.
With such a large, dark movement on such a large scale, it's a good idea to be on the safe side.
Well, if you say so, my lord, I'll oblige.
　With that said, all of Ginn's men eventually convinced me to provide an escort.

　As soon as Ginn and the others left the room, I quickly left the room and headed to the Guard Bureau's office.
　Fortunately, Googus was inside the guard bureau's office.
''Googs, sorry to bother you when you're busy, but can I have a word?''
Yeah, I'm just stewing on some paperwork at the moment, so I don't mind.
　With that, Googus got up from his chair and stood tall.
　The rabbit woman sitting at the desk beside him told Googs that
'It doesn't boil down to anything, I was just stamping my seal on the paperwork I processed, so why does it boil down to that?
　As he said this, an expression of dissatisfaction appeared on his face.

　This rabbit person's name is Elanetta.
　He was a newly hired person to assist Gugus, who was extremely bad at paperwork, with his paperwork.
　Originally, Elanetta worked at the town hall in the small frontier city of Pix, but she moved in with her parents when they moved to the frontier city of Liberty Combe.
　She wanted to work at the town hall in Liberty Combe because she used to work at the town hall, and she applied for the job because the town hall in Liberty Combe was hiring temporary employees.
　In fact, Elanetta is so good at processing paperwork that the paperwork that had been bogged down at the Googs' place has begun to flow smoothly, as if it were a dam.

The next time I buy you a drink, I'll buy you a drink. I'll buy you a drink next time to put you in a better mood.
''I'm not too happy to be invited by a wife-beater, but the restaurant that Chief Gu Gu Guess Guardsman is taking me to has great drinks, so, well, I'll go.
　I told Gugs, who was dodging such conversations, about Gin's case earlier.

'Yes, sir. Then, well, I'll consult with Lilpop and arrange for an elite to be attached to the manpower. Once the personnel are chosen, I'll have them visit the lord's office directly and you can give them instructions there?
Okay. Well, I'll be ready to go in that direction.
　I said, and then we chatted for a bit before leaving the guard station.

　As I returned to the lord's office, I looked around the town hall.

　Among them, in addition to those who have been working hard since this Libertycombe was still a small settlement, I could catch glimpses of the faces of the newly hired men and women.

　I wonder if it means Liberty Combe is growing up more and more.......

　I hobbled back towards the lord's office with that thought in mind.
