I Sold Them At A High Price
He looked at it with wide eyes.
“This-this is a gemstone from a Blue Lesser Fire Dragon! How did you get it!?”
“I just killed it. I was able to do it by soaking it in water or using magic to cool it off.”
“...Surely you didn’t do it alone?”
“I did it with my monsters.”
I said while pointing at the Proud Wolf and slimes.
And then...he muttered.
“Are you serious... I had known you were strong, but not that strong.”
“Well, the Blue Lesser Fire Dragon just happened to be a good fit for us. ...So, can you use this to make the armor?”
“Of course! I’ll do it! ...Should I make it so that it fits the Proud Wolf?”
“Yes. ...Oh, since I have two, can you also make one for the slimes?”
I said as I offered the other one.
He looked at it and jumped in the air.
“Two...gemstones from a Blue Lesser Fire Dragon!?”
“Yeah. There just happened to be a second one there.”
“So you got this on the same day?”
“...We were lucky. Oh, could you keep my hunting of them a secret?”
If word spread about me hunting the Blue Lesser Fire Dragons, the Blue Moon of Salvation might put me back on their assassination list. While I was unlikely to be taken by surprise, as I had the slimes...it was still better if I wasn’t targeted.
“I don’t mind... But, do you perhaps have a third one?”
“No, I don’t have a third one. But I have plenty of normal gemstones from Lesser Fire Dragons.”
“I’ll buy all of them.”
He said immediately.
Apparently, Master Gaiger really wanted the Lesser Fire Dragon gemstones.
“How much does one cost?”
I decided to ask first.
The guild was paying 50,000 cicols for one, so I would take anything that was above that.
“Well...I can’t say unless I see how good the quality is.”
“Right. ...Take a look then.”
I said as I handed him the bag.
There were 287 gemstones in all.
“...This bag is oddly heavy. Is there something else inside as well?”
“I killed a lot, so there are a lot of them inside. You’ll understand when you look inside.”
And so Master Gaiger opened the bag—and let out a cry of shock.
“They really are all gemstones! And...the quality is insane!”
“Insane... Do you mean insanely bad?”
“Insanely high! ...The colors are so clear and I don’t see any impurities. They don’t come out like this unless you kill them very quickly and immediately remove the stones right after.”
I see.
Doing it quickly helps in maintaining quality.
Indeed, my method would have been a lot quicker than slowly pouring buckets of water over it.
And the slimes had immediately put them in storage before dismembering them.
Ignoring the storage time, it would have been less than 10 minutes.
“You can sure tell a lot from just looking at them.”
“As if I could continue with this job without a good eye for gemstones! ...For stones of this quality, I will pay you 100,000 for one!”
100,000 for one. That was double what the guild was paying.
I had expected it to go up a little, but not double.
“...Well, there are 287. How many will you buy?”
“All of them! ...Wait one moment!”
He said as he went to the back of the store.
Then he returned with a bag full of gold coins.
“Here’s 28,700,000 cicols. Count them.”
...He had that much cash in his store...
I guess it wasn’t famous for nothing.
