Todeum
This has been brought to you by Grisia.
This was the day that Vampire Lord Tori had announced!
Early in the morning at Morata village, the Geomchis, Pale, Irene, Seechwi, Mapan and their other companions were there waiting.
“So this is Morata Village!”
Mapan had eventually become a mid-level merchant. Because of his skill level, he was now able to trade in precious metals and gems.
A small blessing given to merchants. A very luxurious wagon. It was a large wagon that was drawn by 8 horses and was capable of carrying a lot of cargo and groceries loaded within would not spoil as quickly.
“Buying food! Buying battle supplies!”
Mapan bought supplies that he thought they would need for Todeum.
He went around Morata Village, buying and stockpiling supplies in his wagon from the residents and adventurers.
In the meantime, Weed was at the village entrance earning himself some quick money.
“Wonderful carved sculptures for sale! Each are one of a kind and give stat benefits!”
Sculptures carved by the great Sculptor Weed!
Almost all the tourists that visited Morata wanted to get a souvenir. There was a long line of people in from of Weed to buy sculptures.
A small girl said.
“Ajussi, I’ll take the sculpture that looks like the tower of light.”
Weed said, smiling cheerfully.
“It’ll be 10 gold.”
“Ehh, it’s so expensive: I can’t buy it.”
"..."
The small girl left since it was a rip-off.
The next customer, an old grandmother with gray hair, walked forwards.
“Well young man. I would like the sculpture carved like the Tower of Light near the rocky mountains.
"Yes. That will be 9 gold."
Weed gave a her a small discount.
He had a weak spot for the elderly!
"What?”
“8 gold...”
“What sculpture is this expensive? You’re not disregard this elderly lady, are you?”
“No, that’s not it...then how about 5 gold.”
“Elders don’t have that kind of money. How about 2 silver!”
“That’s hardly the price anymore...sigh okay ma’am.”
"You should have done so earlier."
Tears fell from Weeds eyes as he watched his sculpture disappear.
His innate skill of flattery!
The prices of his sculptures were right to some extent.
‘Damn. It’s so hard to make money with sculptures.’
The money he got from selling the weapons and armor he made through the blacksmith skill was more than he was expecting.
But here buying sculpture is considered a luxury most people can’t afford.
It is rare for people to buy sculptures as gifts because the prices for sculptures keep rising due to rarity.
The next customers were slightly older Ahjummas.
The Ahjummas hurled sharp questions at him.
“If I order one sculpture, can a get a discount on another?”
“That’s...”
“You created it from a piece of wood that can be found on the side of the road. Isn’t the cost too much just for this level of service?”
The customers thought sculptures were like things that were mass produced and could buy one get one free like in supermarkets!
