“Who are you?”
As I tried to get inside the forge, the blacksmith, who was trimming the sword on the outside, blocked the way.
Can I tell him I'm looking for the Lucuba Merchants Guild? ’
“Who are you?”
“... I came to see the sword. ”
After a brief thought, he did not talk about the Lucuba Merchant Guild. There must be a reason why they don't disclose their location publicly, so it's likely they won't be welcomed if they say they came to the Lucuba Merchant Guild.
In my answer, the blacksmith turns to the sword hanging from my waist and turns to look at my face and shakes his head.
“If it's a sword, go to another forge. There's no such thing as a low-grade sword to sell to a kid. ”
“If you're not a child, can you get inside? ”
“Hmph. That sounds natural. But you look like a child, no matter how you look. ”
I didn't like the look of the blacksmith ignoring people just by looking at their faces, but I took out a Class B mercenary from my heart and showed him.
“Now, is this enough? ”
“Hmmm... Class B? You don't look that old. ”
A blacksmith who looks at the mercenary and disbelieves in my face alternately.
Then I showed him a little sword on his waist.
“What is this... What? The Black?”
“Will you call me a child when you see this sword with a Class B mercenary? ”
A carved sword of wolves that roams through many battlefields.
Blacksmiths don't leave them lying around with black cloths because they're too jumpy for their eyes, but no one can ignore them if a white sword is revealed at a drawn blacksmith. And so was the blacksmith, who stuttered with a very surprised face.
“Are you an ear or a nobleman? ”
“No. Can we go inside now?" ”
“Oh, yes! Sure. Let's go inside. ”
The blacksmith hurried out of the way and walked along the way into a store that felt a hot heat.
The first thing I felt when I went inside the forge was the hot air that would make my flesh ripen at least immediately. It is said that it is a forge.
‘… This place wasn't just a forge by name? ’
A bit of a question is, since it's a point at the Lucuba Merchant Guild, I thought it was a forge with only a name, and it's a proper forge. Watching them wielding a hammer and making swords in this heat and forge, I can't help but think that all this is a lie.
The brown-haired man, who put his sword on the shelf while wiping his sweat, found me and approached me.
“Are you here for the sword? ”
“Oh, well... ”
I thought it was over once we got inside the forge.
I don't know what to do anymore.
“... Actually, I came to the Lucuba Merchant Guild. ”
After a brief thought, I told the brown-haired man the truth. I thought I'd lie about coming to see the sword for a while, but I don't need to waste my time without finding any strange spots on the inside.
“The Lucaba Merchant Guild? ”
“Yes. Don't you have the Lucuba Merchant Guild here? ”
“Haha! Looks like you've never been to the Lucuba Merchant Guild before. ”
I asked nervously, but the brown-haired man smiled and pointed his hand at the corner of the forge.
“You can go that way. If you are looking for the Lucuba Merchant Guild in the future, please ask them at the entrance and they will be kind enough to guide you. ”
“…… Is that right? ”
“Yes, if you've come all the way here, you don't have to cheat. And to find this place would be to get the intel we leaked, so there's no reason to deny it. ”
From what I hear, he's right.
Finding the Lucuba Merchant Guild is almost impossible without the right information. However, buying and selling goods means that customers know where the Lucuba Merchants Guild is located.
Like the brunette said, they leaked information and lured people here.
‘… I would have told you from the beginning. ’
I'm sure you knew Baran's son.
As I was cursing at Baran in my gut, I looked at the brown-haired man as if he wasn't going with my eyes.
“…… Here we go. Thanks for letting us know. ”
“Yes, of course. ”
As I passed the brown-haired man and headed to the corner inside the forge, the stairs going down through the open door in the corner reveal themselves.
Looking back, the brown-haired man nods once as if it's the right path.
‘Okay, let's go. ’
It's overwhelming.
Going down the narrow stairs reminds me of Jansen's secret lair. Unlike back then, they didn't make money with artifacts here.
It took me about a minute to get down to the destination so I could set my foot on the floor, not the stairs.
“There's... no door? What, is this the end? ”
Despite its descent to the end of the stairs, the RuCuba Merchants Guild is blocked in front of it. The moment I went up to look for a man with brown hair who was baffled.
[Kaiyan! This is magic.]
Rica reaches out and points to the wall in front of her.
“This wall? ”
[Yes! I think I have some welcoming magic and a spell to stop the energy. Not artifact… Simple installation magic?]
“Then this wall is a vision. ”
Glug.
Liekah raises her hand against the wall to see if it's true. Her hand shrugs and disappears into the wall.
[Kaiyan, if you pay attention, you'll know! Why don't you study magic for a while? You might meet the Wizard if you don't know how to use it! Like Richie!]
Even if you don't use magic like Rieka said, you still need to know some knowledge. Even when we were dealing with Rich, he didn't know his magic, so he had a lot of power.
“Magic... First, let's solve the Lucaba Merchant Guild. ”
I put aside the thought of magic that complicates my head and walked into the welcome wall.
As I entered the welcome wall, my vision became darker, and the welcome wall was only a few steps away from the wall, considerably thicker.
“Here! If you want to talk in this artifact.... ”
“Here's the Ring of Fire! Check it all out!”
“Start at 200 Gold! ”
The noise was loud. After crossing the wall completely, I was greeted by a large crowd and noise that made the marketplace glow.
“This is the location of the Lucuba Merchant Guild...? ”
It's too different from what I thought.]
People selling things with mats all over the place. And people who are too busy wandering around bargaining for goods.
It is too different from the image of the Lucuba Merchant Guild as I thought.
‘What the hell…. ’
When I was wandering around in embarrassment, someone blocked my view.
“Greetings, and welcome to the Lucuba Merchant Guild! Have you never been to the Lucuba Merchant Guild before? ”
“Yes? Oh, yes. It's my first time.”
A person with fake laughter in his eyes and mouth.
Looking at him with a slightly reluctant look, he quickly waves his hands and bursts into laughter.
“Haha! You don't have to look at me like that! The first people who come here were surprised to see if this place really belongs to the Lucuba Merchants Guild! ”
“… I see. ”
Clearly no one else would have reacted differently.
“There aren't many people who have never been to the Lucuba Merchant Guild who are mistaken. in fact, there are so many of them. ”
“Then why are there so many guests? As far as I know... I heard it's not easy to find. ”
I heard from the merchant who came to see me about the Lucuba Merchant Guild I met in Blatan that finding the Lucuba Merchant Guild is very difficult. Even if 100 people heard the rumor and went to find the real Merchant Guild, less than 10 will be able to find the merchant Guild.
“Well... To put it simply, there are more people visiting the Lucuba Merchant Guild than people think. And most importantly, if you visit the Lucuba Merchant Guild, there is a way to get to it. ”
“You mean there's a way to find it? ”
How the hell?
Even I wouldn't have guessed where the Lucuba Merchant Guild would be if Baran hadn't told me where to go.
“The Merchant Guild is selling artifacts that tell us where we're going! at a very cheap price! Haha! Most of them return to the Lucuba Merchant Guild through that artifact. ”
[Kaiyan! They're scammers! I can't believe you let a merchant see you!]
If so, you are selling items similar to artifacts to your customers that show you where Baran is headed.
“Do people live there? No, it would be expensive to leave it behind. ”
“Don't worry about it! We only get paid for materials that fit into the artifact! And if you try it this time, you'll see why people keep coming! ”
He burst his sly smile and looked at me with confident eyes.
“I'm sure you'll be happy too! For more details, please take a look at this paper and enjoy! ”
He just said what he had to say and left, handing over the paper.
“... Ridiculous,”
[Kaiyan, why don't you look at the paper first?]
I looked at the man who was moving away once and turned my gaze to the paper in my hand.
“… Hmm. ”
Here's a summary of what is written on paper.
First, items sold at the Lucuba Merchant Guild may not necessarily be money, but can be exchanged if they bring items of similar value.
Second, I buy things that are very expensive if I have a unique function or bring something interesting
Third, items not sold at the Lucuba Merchant Guild can be sold to others personally in the Central Plaza.
It seems like a lot of those people are selling stuff with their mattresses closed for this third reason. This is a good place to sell to rich customers, since it's packed with money. Maybe that's why people are looking for the Lucuba Merchant Guild.
Fourth, in the event of an armed struggle, the Rugby Guild will subdue them for any reason and send them out.
Fifth, if caught committing a crime, you will be killed immediately.
“Hmm... Nothing special. ”
[Come on, let's go get the stuff! I think there's a lot of expensive stuff here!]
I can see Rieka's eyes gleaming brightly. She's a prodigy.
A cute little treasure hunter who finds more than 1000G items like ghosts.
As she walks through the central square with her head held high, she spits out a startled voice, checking the merchandise people are selling.
[Oh my! That's 250G! I can't believe you sold that for 900 gold! He's a fraud!]
[That's a Lesser Detoxification Potion! Why are they selling that here?]
There's no place like Rieka that's more interested in merchandise.
As I stroked Rica, I passed through the central square and approached the merchant standing under the sign that said the Lucuba Merchant Guild.
“Welcome. Do you intend to sell? Or do you want to take a look around the merchandise at the Lucuba Merchants Guild? ”
“Well... let's have a look around first. ”
“Come with me, then. ”
Following the merchant, we opened a door behind him and went inside, where there were already some people and merchants who were looking at the goods.
The merchant walking in front of them looks behind them and points to a shelf full of things.
“Take a look around. If you have any questions, you can ask me. Oh, for the record, you can't touch things by hand. ”
“I see.”
As she pretends to look around the shelf, she glares around the shelf in a frenzy.
[Kaiyan! This is... awesome!]
“Why?”
[There's a weird item in the Karsia Storage on the third floor!]
“What? Really? ”
“What do you want to know? ”
“Yes? Oh, no. ”
I was so surprised that I shouted out loud.
You shake your hand as if it were nothing special to the merchant and look at Rieka again.
[See that red bracelet over there? That's a 1500G item! It's an artifact that's permanently enchanted by the magic of the Four Circles!]
“An... old looking bracelet? ”
Looking at the direction she pointed, there was a red bracelet that looked very old.
‘How much will it cost? ’
If you know the price of the bracelet well at the Lucuba Merchant Guild, you are more likely to find it very expensive. Then, like Rieka said, it's a fuzzy situation to say "awesome."
You look at the merchant in the back and call out to him.
“Hey, I want to know what that bracelet does. ”
“Oh, that bracelet is a magical artifact. The problem is... I'm sorry to say this, but we don't know the exact functionality. The Wizards say it seems to be enchanted by the magic of the Ancient Era. ”
“Ancient artifacts… but how do I use them if I don't know what they do? ”
“Mmmm... That's what we're good at... except that we think an ancient artifact is worth decorating on the shelf, haha! In fact, it's more of a commercial thing than a sales pitch. ”
I can't believe you didn't know how to use it.
I glanced directly at the merchant with my eyes wide open.
“So how much is it? ”
“Yes? Oh, you mean the price of that bracelet? Hmm... It's originally an ancient artifact, so I need 3000 gold, but I don't know how to use it... ”
“So how much? ”
“You still need to earn about 300 gold. I'm not making excuses, but as you know, the Ancient Artifact Pack... ”
“I'll buy it.”
“Yes?”
A confused merchant opened his mouth when I asked him to buy it. I don't think he understands me buying that garbage for 300 gold.
“I'll buy that artifact for 300 gold. ”
[I know how to use it!]
I have a universal helper, Rica.
“Who are you?”
As I tried to get inside the forge, the blacksmith, who was trimming the sword on the outside, blocked the way.
Can I tell him I'm looking for the Lucuba Merchants Guild? ’
“Who are you?”
“... I came to see the sword. ”
After a brief thought, he did not talk about the Lucuba Merchant Guild. There must be a reason why they don't disclose their location publicly, so it's likely they won't be welcomed if they say they came to the Lucuba Merchant Guild.
In my answer, the blacksmith turns to the sword hanging from my waist and turns to look at my face and shakes his head.

“If you're not a child, can you get inside? ”
“Hmph. That sounds natural. But you look like a child, no matter how you look. ”
I didn't like the look of the blacksmith ignoring people just by looking at their faces, but I took out a Class B mercenary from my heart and showed him.
“Now, is this enough? ”
“Hmmm... Class B? You don't look that old. ”
A blacksmith who looks at the mercenary and disbelieves in my face alternately.
Then I showed him a little sword on his waist.
“What is this... What? The Black?”
“Will you call me a child when you see this sword with a Class B mercenary? ”
A carved sword of wolves that roams through many battlefields.
Blacksmiths don't leave them lying around with black cloths because they're too jumpy for their eyes, but no one can ignore them if a white sword is revealed at a drawn blacksmith. And so was the blacksmith, who stuttered with a very surprised face.
“Are you an ear or a nobleman? ”
