MILE CHAPTER 265: DWARF VILLAGE 6
(Itâs strange, why did they do such a suicide act...?) (Mile)
As a matter of course, Mile asked the Merchant Leader.
ãItâs obviously strange for them to suddenly doing such a thing.
There must be something...ã(Mile)
ãWell, there must be a reason why they couldnât make the promised number of products.
I also donât think they do such a thing without any reason as well.
However...ã(Merchant)
ãHowever?ã(Mile)
The merchant leader kept on speaking.
ãEven if there is something, they donât want to consult it with us
ãEven though they could only make half of it, they wanted to the same money as usual and thought there was nothing wrong with itã
In other words, they must think we are stupidã(Merchant)
(Ah......) (Mile)
Mile finally noticed the identity of the uncomfortable feeling that the merchant had.
Merchants took the trouble and chose to camp just in front of the village.
Even now, they were surprised by the request of the mayor, but they werenât really confused or impatience.
More like they were somewhat worried about what happened in the village.
(Everyone actually doesnât dislike this village...) (Mile)
Mile threw a straight ball right in the middle... with all her strength
ãEveryone, do you dislike people in this village?ã(Mile)
ãMi...Mile, what are you saying suddenly!?ã(Maevis)
Only Maevis was flustered.
Apparently, Pauline and Rena also seemed to notice.
ã...Thatâs right.
Because itâs business, we respond with a smile, but this village thinks of us as stupid from the beginning.
We deal with this village properly as the ãtrading partner to raise profitsã, but I donât think they are ãimportant customerã anymore.
Thatâs why, now that they are no longer worthy trading partners, I will draw back.
Itâs just that.
Itâs not our intention to bring essential items with the dangerous route and sold at a price not considering profit.
I was obliged to go because I was asked to do so if I wanted to buy metal products.
However, thereâs no need to take the trouble to come to this village anymore now that the essential metal products trading has broken down.
We are merchants, we are neither idiots nor saintsã(Merchant Leader)
From the face of the merchant leader, his usual smile was gone.
It seems that he couldnât hold it anymore.
And now, he will abandon this village, no, more like he made up his mind to close off the transaction.
Itâs no wonder.
But no merchant would want to take dangerous 8 days traveling to return empty hand,
thatâs why he continues trying to make a deal with the bad attitude customer.
However, there was something bothering Mile.
ãWell, as far as I was watching, the villagers didnât seem to be bad people...ã(Mile)
Yes, the villagers shopping with a smile, Mile only thought of them as nice dwarves.
ãYeah, they are not bad people.ã(Merchant)
ãããEh?ããã(Red Oath â Pauline)
Three girls other than Pauline let out a surprised voice to the merchantâs unexpected reply.
In a hurry, other people checked the surroundings, but the villagers who were still in the plaza still didnât seem to care.
They didnât hear the talk nor they were interested in the inner ring talks of the merchant corp.
ãEvil Spirit Utopiaã and ãFlameâs Friendshipã are just silently listened to it without surprising.
...We knew such a thing from the beginning.
They had such an attitude.
ãThe people in this village are basically craftsmen.
Of course, there are a lot of people involved in agriculture and forestry, but the partners we trade with are blacksmiths, the central industry of this village, or so I think.
They are proud of their skills, technique, and have high enthusiasm.
With the thought that their smithing technique is superior to the humanâs technique.
So, they are selling ãWhat they want to sellã, ãWhat they allow us to buyã, ãWhat they allow us to useã
Thatâs what they thought from the bottom of their heart.
So, they actually donât have anything such as malice, hate us or black thinking...
They love alcohol and they are excellent craftsmen.
However, they have high pride, they look down on the humanâs blacksmithing.
If we want their products, we must unconditionally lower our heads to them and listen to their demand.
In other words, it means ãIt is not a bad personãã(Merchant Leader)
ããããNo, they are bad!!ãããã(Red Oath)
Four girls spoke their thinking at the same time.
As usual...
ãThatâs why everyone should sell the remaining items as planned in the afternoon.
I will go around the blacksmiths and try to gather more information.
If I manage to do something, we will buy the metal products tomorrow as usual and we will leave on the morning of the day after tomorrow.
If it doesnât work, we will depart tomorrow.
Also, if there is something you can purchase at the usual price, you can purchase them.
Is there no objection?ã(Merchant Leader)
With the explanation of the merchant leader, the other two merchants nodded.
The others are the employees of the merchant leader, so he doesnât need to confirm their intention.
ãããã............ãããã(Red Oath)
The unexpected result, the ãRed Oathã was silent.
The other two parties also knew about the attitude of the villagers, but this situation seems to be a little puzzled.
Incidentally, Rena asked
ãWhy didnât you tell us about the villagers?ã(Rena)
ãItâs not necessary to inform you of the other peopleâs negative information, who you havenât before. It will give unnecessary prejudice. You can check it directly yourselfã(Merchant)
Rena canât argue with it.
ãWell then, please resume selling soon.
I will go around the blacksmith as our representative because itâs useless to talk with the village chief nowã(Merchant Leader)
Apparently, it seems that the reason why the merchant leader didnât come back after visiting the village chief was that he has gone to greet other blacksmiths to find circumstances.
But it seems that there was no result at all.
And when the leader got up.
ãWe will follow, too!ã(Mile)
ãHuh?ã(Merchant Leader)
Mile stood up and declared so.
And then the other members of ãRed Oathãalso stood up with a *Yare Yare* face.
The leader hesitated for a moment, but after thinking about Mileâs ability for a while, he approved.
Thereâs no disadvantage to bring ãRed Oathã along. And if he could get the cooperation with storage magic, the transaction would be somewhat easier.
Then everyone, who finished their poor lunch of water and hard bread, went back to their business and negotiate.
ãThis is one of the smithing workshops that I tradeã(Merchant Leader)
ãRed Oathã came into the Blacksmith after being guided by the merchant leader.
Now is the free time, the other escort guards didnât follow.
Even if they come, thereâs nothing they can do.
Besides, if a large number of hunters come, it will become more like a threat than a trade or negotiation.
If itâs only 4 young girls of ãRed Oathã thereâs no problem.
ãIs the workshop owner here?ã(Merchant Leader)
When the merchant leader shouted so from the entrance of the workshop,
Whether he is an employee or a disciple, anyway, a ãyoung manãwent to call the workshop owner in the back.
...he has the beard, the ãyoung manã may not be so young though...
The villagers knew that the merchant corp have arrived this morning, so they didnât need to hear the merchantâs explanation.
No, in the first place, this young man must have come to buy Mileâs wine.
Including the workshop owner as well.
And the workshop owner came out from behind really fast.
He has a red face. Is it because he works every day with flames...?
ãUuooo!!
Itâs really the young miss who sells the fine brewer.
If there are still unsold brewer, we will buy as much as possible!ã(Smith Drarf)
Apparently, it seemed that his red face was from drinking a lot...
