Master Of None

Chapter 751: 751. Purchases

”I should have expected the hero to be sly. I canʼt imagine that you did not have this planned from the start. Using your tempting words.” Jessie was smiling. She was hearing wonderful possibilities and wanted exactly what Walker was saying.

”The Garnet family has indeed made moves to create a grand auction hall double the size of this one. We plan to forge contracts to sell what the soon to be established alchemy guild, forge, and adventurersʼ guild brings in. We may even work out some special transportation deals with the tamersʼ guild.” Walker absorbed what Jessie was saying. There was just so much possibility in so few words.

”Now, before I make any decisions. Why do you wish to become a merchant, Mr. silent demon?” Jessie didnʼt have a name she had been told for the demon and so she made up a temporary nickname.

”I have never been called something like that before. I wouldnʼt mind being known as the silent demon.” Walker nearly threw his face in his palms hearing the demon man say this.

”Then silent it is. I am Jessie, the first rule of merchant sale, learn the names of important people.” Jessie was already throwing in some of the lessons anyone that was buying or selling something should know. ”Now, again, why do you want to be a merchant?

Jessie repeated the question and Silent was able to answer much more easily this time. It seemed like getting a nickname even though it didnʼt have a ton of meaning was enough to make him excited.

”I want to see the world. And bring back amazing things.” Silent was ready to go on and on. For whatever reason, he could feel that his energy was surging. This was the most alive he had felt in years.

”Thatʼs the same answer he gave me. I think it fits what a merchant does.” Walker nodded approvingly.

”Then let me also ask you this, would you be willing to sail across the oceans? Walk through the scorching deserts? Hunt through filth for a rare treasurer? If any of these answers was a no then donʼt bother staying here any longer.” Jessie was harsh but it was necessary.

”Or do you have the savings and the smarts to buy valuable items and bargain for their price to be reduced so you can sell them at higher rates for profit?”

”I do not know how to do any of that...yet. I will learn it all. I donʼt want to just fight for what I can have or eat. I will find a way to trade and obtain it for myself.” Silent was still determined as ever and did not back down.

”Then you can start a basic apprenticeship here. For the first six months you will do nothing but item identification. You do not need an appraisal skill. You will record items, their quality, and their uses.” As if they were waiting one of the guards entered the room and guided Silent out in to the hall.

”I assume that you may want something else since you are looking at me expectantly?” Jessie was too clear that there was more than just one task Walker wanted to take care of.

”You could say that I was not planning on coming here today but plans change when someone needs her. Besides that, It works out. I am actually looking for some things. I was wondering if you had any items that constantly absorbed elemental mana? You have a fair amount of people that can appraise things.

They are dormant elemental spirits.” Walker was sure that the Garnet family would have come across them and not been able to sell them.

”Ah, we do have such things. They are a terrible sellers and have long been removed from the auction list. We canʼt even awaken them in any form, so we have just stored them in the vaults.” Jessie had memorized the contents of the vaults. It was part of her job since she was a main family member.

”Then You should be asking me how much I am willing to buy from you. Although, I do not believe they would be bought at all but I understand you would take a loss just giving them to me.” Walker knew that if he put it this way he would keep the respect of the Garnet family while also receiving a lower price.

”If you were to take them at five gold a piece it would actually be a great help. We want the space for the incoming merchants and have had trouble clearing it. Is there anything else you may need?” Jessie surprised Walker by agreeing. He felt that he had either come at the perfect time or that there was another reason.

”Elemental mana crystals. I need three crates of each for a project. Also, if you happen to have any materials that have no elemental affinity or have all elemental affinities equally. I would like to buy them. Of course, if they are being auctioned I can come. I also have some orc materials I plan to have dissected at the guide so I will have them sent here from there for sale.”

The last addition to Walkersʼ sentence was what won over Jessie. ”I will have them ready for you and sent to your home. I hope that you have the space prepared. I will see what we have for materials and have you notified at a later date.

I can have the appraisal experts begin evaluations to check if they meet your requirements We trust you will send payment when the items are delivered.” Jessie finished her tea.

”Then I believe that is all I could need right now. Thank you very much for your help. Also. I hope that you teach our new friend well. There are many people who lacked systems that are getting theirs now. The world is changing and I wouldnʼt mind seeing a fair merchant family staying fair and on top.” Walker placed his cup down and stood to leave.

He had achieved a surprising end to his visit.
