All the members looked puzzled due to the words from Barlux, who reported plainly. The first one to speak was Ardi, who was just dispatched as a liaison from the kingdom. (TL note: Shin first met Ardi at Tsuki no Hokora in chapter 1.) The mage Arad Royl, who was in charge of the appraisal of the jewel, nodded as he had the same kind of doubt. Kylie Ein, who was the sub-master, and Els, who knew about the circumstances, had no reaction. Then Barlux continued.
“The person told me that the sword and armor were not a big deal.”
“Not a big deal?…”
Ardi had the expression of someone who didn’t understand. Arad was laughing “hohoho” while combing down his beard.
“To declare something like that, it seems that this man’s wealth is quite considerable.”
Although Arad’s hair and beard were white-colored because of his old age, due to his well-developed back muscles, which were tightly visible, he didn’t look as old as he was. The way he laughed suited the good-natured old man.
“The fellows who hold the introduction letter are generally thoughtless fellows. They don’t care about losing their life, especially the young ones.”
