Episode 12 Unexpected Income.

As Balt follows the upper class, Lisa naturally follows Balt.

The merchant who found it makes a questionable expression.

“Huh? What about the young lady?”

Balt says a word in response to the top caution’s question.

“This is my group.”

“Aha! You did! Come on, eat inside.”

All sorts of food were prepared in the room along the upper column.

“You must be tired from the long journey, so I prepared some food. I don’t know if it will fit in your mouth.”

It’s all about food…. I have no doubts about it, but I still need to check.

“Geryuntu does not carelessly eat food given to him by others.”

There is something wrong with the sound of getting and eating well while going up.

However, Sangsanju takes all the food and eats it first, as if it were natural.

“Ah! That’s right! It’s natural to be careful. Mumble.”

Balt confirmed that there was no poison and then put the food in his mouth.

‘Oh? Isn’t it delicious?’

The food on the way up had only salt and seasoning, so it tasted mediocre.

But these dishes seem to use quite high-end ingredients and seasonings.

I was about to go out to eat, but I don’t know if I can meet better food than this, so Balt invites Lisa to eat as well.

“Eat Lisa too. Eating well makes you strong.”

“Yes! Balt!”

Lisa is now almost a follower of Balt.

Valt puts a pile of food in his mouth and swallows it with a gulp.

“Gulp, yes. You must have something to say.”

The merchant’s face is smiling.

Perhaps the benefits of transporting and receiving artifacts are greater than expected.

“As expected, the way he eats is also very generous! First of all, when you listen to the report of the merchant, you promised 20 times the reward, right? And he said he would give you a present too!”

“Yes.”

Sangdanju keeps smiling and talking.

“That’s what we pay for, and that gift! Just in case you want something!”

Obviously, the quest completion window said that it was selectable.

It looks like this is going on.

“Hmm? What do you want?”

“Ahahahaha, this is a bigger case than we thought. Mr. Balt, who made this ascension a success, is like a benefactor of our guild. Wouldn’t it be nice to give Balt-sama what he wants in a drill bar?”

I thought there was nothing wrong with this barbarian who heard the report of the merchant.

No, I thought of it as a new opportunity.

According to the merchant’s words, he is the son of Kwan.

As long as the 10-year peace treaty was signed with the barbarians, the barbarians are not objects of exclusion, but objects of trade.

They are the upper ranks who mainly come and go to the south.

What if you could expand that range and go to the barbarian area?

It’s not impossible to transform into one of the best in the South.

And he’s Kwan’s son!

There is a possibility that a deal with barbarians can be opened just by giving a promise.

Bald, who noticed that, said a word to the merchant.

“I want something. What?”

The upper ranks are quite surprised by Balt’s question.

I thought barbarians weren’t this quick-witted?

It felt strange, but following the advice of the commercial owner, I decided to honestly confront what had happened.

“Oh no big deal! Just asking if it’s okay if I mention only two letters of Mr. Balt’s name when I enter the South! I have a little bit of a relationship with Valt! Enough is enough.”

‘Whoa… Look at him?’

Even if Balt was an employee of a small business, he knows this much.

This is because there have been quite a few merchants who behaved this way in novels, games, and movies that I have read.

Balt said, hardening his face.

“Isn’t it a big deal to use my name?”

It’s not even a plausible negotiation.

That’s not even a logical analogy.

I barely spoke lowly with a frown, but the top tier was under great pressure.

‘Keu, keuuk, what is this force?’

I thought he was an easygoing guy from the southern countryside, but that’s not the case at all.

Sangdanju replies in a puzzled voice.

“That, that’s not it! Let me explain more!”

“So be it.”

I have already been pushed by the momentum.

At times like this, it’s best to hide your true feelings.

The top stock started to break through head-on.

The Sanghaengju now realizes why the Sanghaengju should be honest.

“I want to strike a deal with the barbarians! This isn’t a bad story for the barbarians either! Peace has already been established, and cultural exchanges and trade will begin! In that situation, I… !”

Bald throws a word again.

“Gil-kun. Simply.”

This is the first time that a top stock owner has negotiated such a deal.

Negotiation is a highly developed speech technique in which someone benefits, what results it brings, and meticulously calculates so that I can get even a little bigger benefit.

‘Damn it! Who said barbarians are stupid!? Those eyes are the eyes that know everything! Are you sure!’

You can’t gamble here.

From noble mtl dot com.

The opponent is Kwan’s son. All of this must have been educated.

It’s not the savages who get in trouble if you get angry by mistake, but yourself.

The upper half of the resolution is immediately reaped and the main topic is discussed.

“Let me open a deal! I will give you five pennies of the gain!”

This is a big decision for the upper class.

The benefits of trading with the barbarians must be enormous.

This is because 5% is a huge amount of money given to individuals.

But the barbarian prince in front of me is really formidable.

No words this time.

Just wriggling those terrifying muscles and staring at the top column.

At that moment, Balt was thinking about this.

‘How much is 5%? I’m not sure… I just said I’ll give it to you, so take it?’

While contemplating that, the mouth of the head of the upper house, which was tingling on its own, opens again.

“This, work!! I will pay for my work!!”

Balt nodded his head at the rate that doubled even though he had just stayed still.

“Hmm. I get it.”

This is something I never thought of.

There is no reason to refuse something.

“Well then! You can use your name!!”

However, Balt thinks that even if they sell their name, there is no guarantee that these guys will be able to make a deal.

It was an opportunity to sell only the name and sit still and earn a 10% trading profit, but it was a bit of a waste to pass Balt as it is.

It would be nice to just leave it alone, but I don’t mind if you give me a little help.

Worrying about what to do, Balt comes up with a good idea.

“Yes, then take this with you.”

While doing so, Balt entrusted the greatsword that was strapped to his back to the owner of the upper house.

Surprised, the head of the upper ranks exclaimed.

“This is!!”

“This is my favorite sword. You won’t need it in the future, so if you show it, you’ll know at once that I’m the sender.”

The upper class sang delight.

‘Physical evidence!! I can’t believe he’s been providing such an unconventional help!’

If this is the case, it’s a matter of winning a deal with the barbarian with your own skills!!

What he said honestly to the barbarian prince worked!

The merchant was in awe of Balt who gave him something bigger than he thought.

With just a few words and the act of entrusting the sword, he captured his heart.

‘This is the quality of a king!!’

Receiving the opportunity of a lifetime, Ram Lepo, the owner of the Merchant Merchant Ram Lepo, feels that he must hold on to the savage tribe in front of him for a longer period of time.

Central Continent? No regrets If you can only make money, what’s the problem?

It doesn’t matter if you change your nationality to that country of barbarians whose national name is Geryuntu.

Because that’s what merchants are.

“Thank you! Thank you! Prince! I will become the top tier of the continent and do my best to support the prince!!”

Ramrepo talks to Balt, who nodded his head slightly with an expressionless expression.

“Then would you accept the present? I’ll give you two in particular!”

“First, write the contract.”

At Balt’s words, Ramrepo was again surprised by his sophistication.

‘Who said barbarians were stupid!?’

***

After finishing the meal and the contract to hand over the 10% profit, Valt and Lisa follow Ramrepo into a warehouse.

Chunky!

Lamrepo explains how great this place is to Balt with his characteristic merchant-like talkativeness.

“Speaking of this warehouse, it is a collection of items that cannot be bought with money….”

Bald enters the warehouse while listening to Ramrepo’s words.

Hwaak-

When Lampo gestures, a light that works with magical power turns on and various treasures reveal themselves.

“Whoa… quite.”

Full of pretty good items. If it had been before, I would have been able to confirm it with appraisal magic, but….

It is a bit difficult to learn emotional magic with Balt’s ability now.

Then I need an appraiser….

“If there is an item you want, just let us know. Even if I look like this, I am confident in one emotion!”

This is the basic quality of a merchant.

If you can’t appraise the value of an item, the name merchant doesn’t suit you.

Balt tells Ramrepo what he wants.

“Are there any items that make it easier to use magic?”

At Balt’s words, Ramrepo was surprised, but he didn’t show anything like that.

“Of course there is! Come this way!”

There were also various items that followed Ramrepo.

“A ring that enhances fire magic, a staff that increases mana, a cloak that helps with magic calculations….”

Lamrepo’s explanation went on and on.

Balt, who had been listening to the explanation, stopped Ramrepo with one explanation.

“What is that?”

“Ah, it is an item that converts physical power into magical power. But it’s not very effective….”

‘This is it!’

“How efficient is it?”

“I haven’t tried it, but I know it converts about 10 physical strength into 1 magical power.”

Balt chose the item without hesitation.

It is a type of ring worn on the finger.

The ring was very small, but when Balt brought it close to his finger, it increased in size and deformed to fit Balt’s finger.

There are many better items, but Balt chose a strange item.

For the other one, I chose a ring item that strengthens earth magic.

I struggled with a cloak that assists arithmetic ability, but the cloak was too small to wear.

It didn’t auto-resize.

Still, Balt made a big profit.

‘I’ll be able to get attribute enhancing items later, but I’m very lucky.’

I like the quest rewards quite a bit.

Bald left Ramrepo’s warehouse with a satisfied smile.

Now we really have to head to the academy.

There are still 30 days left, but it’s not bad to go early and adapt to the ecliptic.

Ramrepo told me to wait one more day, but Balt refused and went to the teleport station with Lisa.
