Chapter 168: Delivery of Materials
"Magic stone appraisal, please."
"Ah, yes~!"
She registered as an adventurer with young master Shisu
Since that day, she has been delivering magic stones to the guild every day without fail.
"Today is also a lot."
"The quality is not so good, though."
It's true that the magic stones are not of the best quality.
"You're making sure you kill them in their vital points and getting the magic stones, right? The dismantling team was grateful."
"Grateful... is it?"
Monsters defeated by adventurers are delivered to the adventurer's guild.
The monster's corpse is taken over by the dismantling team contracted with the guild.
An adventurer's income is divided into three main categories.
The first is magic stones.
These are used for various items for the use of magic.
For example, the kingdom's locomotive.
I don't know the exact logic behind this, but I hear they consume a lot of it.
The second is carcasses.
Some monsters have parts that are beneficial.
The fangs and claws of running dragons can be processed into knives, nails, and wedges.
The stomach of a big horn bull can be processed into a base for armor.
Slime mucus can be used as a sticky trap for pests.
Poison viper venom for medicines
The third is the commission.
Fulfill the specified conditions
And receive money on the spot for reporting and submitting evidence.
Currently, the most profitable business is the delivery of magic stones.
The reason is that the supply, demand and quality of magic stones are not stable.
They vary greatly depending on the type of monster, individual differences, age, and environment.
Therefore, the value fluctuates every year, every month, and in the worst case, every day.
Therefore, today's adventurers fight in a way that does not damage the magic stone.
Blood loss, amputation of limbs, destruction of head, destruction of internal organs
This brings us to the second current problem: carcasses.
Even weak monsters have parts that are in demand for daily life.
But carcasses don't change price
There are many reasons for this difficulty.
"It is true that Harper-san alone is not enough to make a difference. Still, everyone is grateful."
"I just want to raise my adventurer rank quickly! I've decided that an immediate kill is the most efficient way to do that!"
Your face turns bright red, so it's not convincing at all.
"By the way, young mas… cough*! I don't see Shisu-san?"
"He's working."
"Working?"
"Yes. When I met him this morning, he was mumbling something, and suddenly he looked up and ran away."
"Oh, where did he go?"
"Um... he ran that way.?"
She pointed at a window from the counter.
And beyond that...
"The factory?"
"What do they make there?"
I don't know much about it
"I don't know, what was he mumbling about?"
"About a beehive? Is it something like that?"
"A bee's nest? Yesterday you two exterminated a blood bee's hive, right? Did that have something to do with it?"
"Yeah, now that I think about it, I remember trying to deal with it with magic from a distance and it was pretty hard."
Blood Bees
Individually, they're not strong that even a child could handle it.
However, they have a habit of living in groups.
It is a dangerous monster that causes damage to the surroundings when it starts building a nest.
The last thing you want is to be attacked by a group.
Wrapped up and burned to death.
Or be stabbed to death with countless needles.
Or swell up and die from the poison of their needles.
Or be devoured by their small but mighty jaws.
"Yes, the appraisal is over. This is the reward for the magic stone. This is the reward for the request. The reward for the carcass will be in about three days."
"Now if you'll excuse me."
"Are you going on a date with Shisu-san?"
I teased her.
"Y-You don't have to say that!"
She walks out with a bright red face.
She's so cute
I want a boyfriend too
