“I came to sell a few things.”
Mapan began to speak, and the master of the exchange showed great joy.
“Yes? A lot of traders come by these days. It is greatly appreciated. What kind of goods do you have for sale?”
One by one, Mapan pulled out all of the cheese and bottles of olive oil from the wagon.
“These items are for sale.”
“Oh my! Those are from Rosenheim Kingdom, aren’t they? Coming from so far away, I’ll pay 4 silvers and 8 silvers respectively for each.”
Mapan conflicted for a moment, tightly closed his eyes, and sold them all. Until now, the entire journey in the wagon was just short of revolting because it was loaded with the smell of cheese and olive oil.
Every time the wagon hit a bump his stomach lurched; Royal Road’s outstanding realism rather felt more of a drudgery to Mapan.
“I am grateful. These are hard to find in this town, 470 gold should be enough.”
“My pleasure.”
Through the transaction, Mapan’s profit was about 200 gold as well as a little rise in fame and expertise. At last, the month long trip was worthwhile in the end.
After all, the greatest happiness as a merchant is the feel of success and the satisfaction you obtain from the wealth after a long haul.
Next was Weed’s turn.
Mapan looked at Weed with eyes full of envy. Since groceries reap this much profit, I wonder how much more profit will be gained from jewellery.
‘The gems Weed directly faceted and formed into jewelry…’
Mapan gulped.
Weed opened the backpack, and one by one pulled out brooches and bracelets.
“How much would you pay for these?”
At that moment, the exchange was filled with the sound of user’s comments.
“It’s a jade!”
“Those are jewels. That one is an emerald… if I’m not mistaken, that must be a sapphire!”
“Where did they find those precious stones?”
“It’s so beautiful.”
The reaction was hardly surprising. Traders who come to the Tomlin exchange are people who were relatively low leveled, and this would be the first time for the majority of them to have seen jewelry.
The exchange owner looked carefully at the jewels Weed passed forward, and he expressed disapproval.
“Things like this are impossible to sell in a small town like this! How about you go to a large city?”
Mapan gave a helpful comment.
