โปรแกรมแปลประโยค A moment where a merchant triumphs!
70% of his goods remained after the sale; for Mapan feared the prices might drop if he had sold them in bulk. Therefore, he planned to sell a few more things, and save the rest to be disposed of at the Kingdom of Vampire Toteum. Some vampires chattered from a distance.
“That human Mapan just earned a great fortune; it’s a topic amongst those humans.”
“Which one is this Mapan? I hope he’ll pass by right in from of me. What I’ll do if he did? I’d just drag him to some alley and sink my teeth into his nape…”
Jackpot in trading!
Mapan accumulated a huge amount of profits, and Weed handed out his congratulations.
“Very nice.”
“It’s all thanks to Weed-nim.”
“Nah. I’m pleased to see you do well.”
Weed was very happy; the joy came from his position as the Lord of Morata. Not too long ago Mapan registered himself as a resident of Morata, and facilitated his trading practices in the North as a citizen of Morata. As a result, he was subjected to Morata’s tax rate, something that’s even more fearsome than a bloodcurdling dragon! (*Weed’s way of thinking -.-*) Merchants had to pay 3% of their revenue by means of taxation; and as Mapan reaped roughly 360,000G, he’d had to pay Morata more than 10,000G via tax.
Main reason for taxes!
‘Taxes can also be good for something after all.’
The reason why Weed was more pleased than usual.
They made their way toward the weapon shop afterward, of course, they also planned to sink their snake-like fangs at the weapon shop too! They boldly declared their intentions in the face of the thick-fanged male vampire owner.
“Hey buddy. Can we see your weapon inventory? Unfortunate, we can’t use true vampire’s weapons; so can we see a few we can use? Things like elegant equipments: rings and such, or precious armors we’d love to see.”
The vampires did not use weapons such as swords etc., so there were little of those metallic gears. But there were gloves that absorb bloods, belts that summons dark beings, and capes that induces delirium and forced apparitions(see ghosts); these weapons were truly to the nature of vampires. Among these Hwaryeong found a dress.
“Wait. Take a look at that dress.”
Golden flows on a crimson dress, an eye catcher. A view from the side, one could tell from the abdomen area up to the chests, there was little to none. A difficult dress to get into if one weren’t in shape. However, Hwaryeong experienced harsher dresses while she was doing concerts.
“What do you think about it?”
She asked Weed for feedbacks. Seeing how he had achieved the intermediate stages on sewing, she wanted a second opinion. But of course, that’s not the main reason why.
“It’s amazing.”
“Also pretty?”
“Yes. The fabrics used to make the dress weren’t used sparingly. From the materials, he could have made two dresses; I would have done so to make more money! Too bad I haven’t leveled to a stage to handle those kinds of materials yet.”
Weed was in deep thoughts staring at the dress, why don’t people use their minds when it comes to these things! Usually regarding these clothes, they’d be hard to sell. The more revealing the clothes the more lackluster it is when it comes to defense; but he couldn’t have fathomed the dancer’s needs for appearance and charms.
“Would that dress go well with me?”
“Well…the price is also important.”
“Would I be prettier wearing it?”
Weed thought for a while then nodded.
“I think you’ll be beautiful.”
“Thank you. Hey Mapan-nim, please buy that dress in my stead.”
The merchant Mapan used his skills to bargain for a price on the dress, still it came out to be at 148,000G; but Hwaryeong didn’t considered it as expensive.
“Cheap.”
At this point, one would considered this was a slip of the tongue; but it wasn’t so to her.
The expensive dress itself wasn’t the problem; in fact, for her levels and her profession as a dancer, there was a major factor she knowingly overlooked when she paid 140,000G for the dress.
‘Weed didn’t even address nor did he check the stats on the dress and I snatched it only because he said I’d be beautiful in it.’
It wasn’t logical, decided to pay for the dress before asking about it!
Fortunately, the crimson dress enhanced her dancer skills by giving her a boost in agility and grace. Hwaryeong, in the dress, was able to show off more of her charms; the coverage was lower than before, but she in no means looked vulgar in it. Her exposed well-toned exercised figure did not take away any of her cultured charms. Comparing to the colorful dress, Hwaryeong was lovelier; the face full of confidence and the eyes full of magnetism would catch anyone’s sight; truly a Fairy of the Stage. (*what her fans calls her?*)
“Beautiful, eonni(elder sister, term of endearment toward one of not blood relations)!
Surka commented first. For her age, she looks up to beautiful women. The commotion went on for awhile, and they all left after they finished checking out the weapons.
Next, they visited general stores that sell basic necessities for journeys, though the ones they saw were seemingly useless. Weed had no intention to buy anything however; as the lord of Morata, he invested all of his money into its development for further exploitation.
‘Use money to make even more money.’
Weed was far from mindlessly spending his money on impulse; nonetheless he was here in search for something. While in thought, the approaching vampiric owner revealed his fangs, and Weed immediately spun around!
“Kueaaa!”
The owner had his mouth opened as he loomed toward Weed, who’s reaction was as fast as the wind and turned around, forcing the vampire to close his mouth. The owner was smacking his lips as if he wanted something enticing.
“Humhum, it’s a shame that you noticed, been a while since I’ve tasted human blood. So what is it that you want?”
As the reason why he visited the shop when he wanted to buy nothing, Weed entered to obtain information.
“I’m a sculptor that’s looking for something to inscribe.”
“Sculptor? Have you tried Todeum yet? This is just a small village in comparison. There was a rumor that Toduem had something that can be viewed as inspirational to sculptors, though it wasn’t confirmed.”
“What is the relationship between this town and Totuem?”
“Here’s just a small town, a serene place where vampires escaped the hustle and bustle of a city. Toduem is a few days due east if you wanted to go, though I do not recommend it; there are more rumors about it becoming more dangerous.”
According to the vampire owner, Seirun was kind of a town where beginners began.
‘I don’t think Toduem is a good place for the weak.’
After that, they started to collect and authenticate the information acquired from vampires.
“Seirun? You’re asking where the town got its name? It’s the name of one of our three moons: Pallun, Gorun, and Seirun. The vampire queen of the nobles of the night belonging to Todeum also carried the same name. She’s also very beautiful; if she asked, I would gladly pull and dedicate my human heart if I was one.”
“A tip to you human tourists, avoid the alley at night. It’s a place where many humans were drained of their bloods, so never accept their advances.”
“You really want to know about Todeum? It was originally where the dead were put to rest, a cemetery if you will. But for some reason, they rose from their slumber and began to seek out blood. And now, it has become a city for nobilities of the night. Join with the living beings? Why would the Nobles do something that relinquishes their prominence!?”
“The land of vampires is different from human’s. The dead are sent above to the ground for one. What about their belongings? We vampires just put it with them as we have no need for human’s belongings. Though, antiques and jewelries occasionally could occasionally be ‘misplaced.’”
“Tsk! Damn younglings vampires these days. I had them agreed not to search of the golden vampire bat……”
“I didn’t do that when I was a kid. Sometimes they don’t even make it back by the break of dawn the next day; I hope nothing had happened to them.”
“The pride of our town? We have a lot of pretty sexy vampire gir…keuheum! Go somewhere else and leave me be.”
The adult vampires on the street!
There was a huge difference in the generation gap, the younglings were literally garbage. Weed saw and talked to a few of them.
“You’re human? Do you want to ride something that makes your blood pumps? Ok, that’s great! Have you seen the scenery from the alleyway? That’s where everything seems the most majestic. If you want to go, I can guide you there and……”
“Female vampires, they talk so much it’s incredible. The Jakkuman clan seems to have disappeared, whether it’s true or not doesn’t really matter to me though.”
“The rumor in Seirun is that the vampire queen of the same name is the most beautiful, but I haven’t seen her. Wonder where she is.”
The Geomchis have long separated from the group as the only they occupied their mind were the female vampires selling apples, now eating apples they purchased. Occasionally, they’d throw their fists in the air or pointed thumbs out while screaming loudly.
“Vampire Kingdom Hurrah!!”
“Long live all the vampires!”
“Keuheuk! Good thing we came here. Thanks. Weed.”
Geomchis were making a scene!
Geomchi2, Geomchi3, Geomchi4 were truly enjoying themselves, while Geomchi and Geomchi5 were stuffing themselves with apples. Seirun was considered as a haven to these old bachelors. They would flex their muscles or smile whenever they were dealing with the female vampires.
“Bon appetite. Thankyou for your patronage.”
“Not a problem. Do you have more like these……”
“Thank you.”
The female vampires hung on both of his arms as a reward.
“Euheoheoheoheo.”
Like a male student getting touched!
“Worth every penny!”
Geomchi3 notice his master.
“Master! Use the money we saved
