Chapter 21.1: Knight, Merchant, Mercenary, Slave (6)
“If you’re that kind of knight, we’d like you to stay in our town.”
ᅠ
“Why so?”
ᅠ
“You know, there’s been some ominous rumors going around lately.”
ᅠ
The lord of the town of Rutzbeck is Count Jarpen. Naturally, after Count Jarpen lost several battles, rumors began to circulate in his fiefdom.
ᅠ
With the increase in rogues and the Count unable to help, the townspeople had to form a vigilante group to fend them off. The young men of the town were enthusiastic even with just a spear in hand, but the village chief knew well. It would be difficult to fend off a proper attack with them.
ᅠ
Why would nobles hire mercenaries at a high cost? It was impossible to fight well just by giving a spear to those who had never fought before. They might be full of courage in their own town, but they would collapse immediately under a real attack.
ᅠ
This large town had been safe so far because it was difficult for runaway mercenaries to target, but what would happen in the future was unknown. If the number of mercenaries increased, or worse, if they settled nearby, it would be a headache. It would be difficult to subdue them with a vigilante group.
ᅠ
“Haha. Atanka-nim. Of course, that would be nice, but it would be too much for Sir Knight to stay here.”
ᅠ
“Why, if you get attached, anywhere can be home. We have many young women in our town.”
ᅠ
‘This old man is being unreasonably greedy.’
ᅠ
‘This merchant is getting cheeky. . .’
ᅠ
They were laughing, but inside, they were cursing each other.
ᅠ
But Atanka was at a disadvantage. He also thought that the knight would not stay here unless necessary. There were few reasons to stay.
ᅠ
“Oh, Atanka-nim, the hardships I’ve endured. . . One sack of wheat will be two and a half silver coins, and one sack of barley will be two silver coins. That’s my final offer.”
ᅠ
“Two and a half silver coins! Are you trying to starve our town’s people?”
ᅠ
“What are you talking about? Do you know how high-quality this barley is? The brewers from Rutzbeck would gladly pay several times more for it.”
ᅠ
Rutzbeck’s beer was well-known in the vicinity. Perhaps they should send someone from the monastery to purchase it.
ᅠ
Typically, a full sack of wheat was worth only one silver coin. However, merchants didn’t often pay the proper price.
ᅠ
“If you’d consider accepting a currency other than Empire silver coins, I could buy it for two and a half sacks.”
ᅠ
“Nonsense. . . Please, Atanka-nim, don’t speak such absurdities. You know how unreliable other currencies have become these days.”
ᅠ
The , operated under the rules set by dwarf nobility, was quite peculiar. The contents of other currencies could change at any time. There was a reason merchants preferred Empire silver and gold coins.
ᅠ
“Two sacks, Atanka. And one and a half sacks for the barley. That’s my final offer. I won’t go any lower.”
ᅠ
“Stop groaning. Fine, you’ve got a deal. That’s it.”
ᅠ
Atanka realized that Eldans wasn’t going to budge any further and reluctantly agreed. Eldans might be a bit shrewd, but he could let this one trade slide. After all, this wasn’t the only time they’d be dealing with each other.
ᅠ
“Thank you once again, Atanka-nim.”
ᅠ
Eldans smiled and extended his pouch. They both knew what was inside. Atanka returned the smile and shook hands. The townspeople would remain oblivious to these conversations, even in their wildest dreams.
