Inferior Magic Swordsman: Using the Skill Board to Become the Strongest

"Now let's get to the merchant who sold the house to Mr. Lily."

Marie joined and the line headed to the Property Sales Chamber.

Permeability walks behind Marie. Behind it followed a disturbing air of ester, and a grumpy lily.

All the guys on the road looked at Marie and his expression loosened up, and he looked at the permeation and said, "You can't take three women with you." "I wish it exploded! I tongued like," I looked at Estelle and Lily behind it, and I slipped away from my gaze.

Good luck with that.

'Don't die on me!

For some reason, the men of the past sent an inner ale through.

Upon arrival at the property sales chamber, the penetration rang the bell installed at the counter.

Penetration runs his eyes on a piece of paper stuck out on the wall until the clerk shows up.

(Same as the renter, sticking out good properties on paper?)

The rental room starts with ten silver coins in the apartment type.

The sale of the entire house starts with forty gold coins.

If civilians live carefully, they can live on five silver coins a month.

Think of it, ten pieces of silver coins in one room for rent are too expensive.

(There was just a fire, so I guess demand is increasing, but it's a little too expensive....... hmm?

The permeation looking out at the sticking paper stopped in front of certain property information.

At that time, a bald man appeared from the back of the store thinking he was the owner of the store.

The shopkeeper grins slightly greasy with a nimanimal, hand palm.

"Welcome. What can I do for you today?

"I want to check on the property I sold to my lord the other day"

Marie asked with a different look than the usual receptionist.

It's like an auditor or something.

Noticed the sharpness of the atmosphere, the shopkeeper lowered his hips and looked at him like he was asking.

"Excuse me, but what about you?

"I'm Marie, an Adventurer Alliance affiliate and Acting Chief Receptionist."

"This, I beg your pardon. I didn't think the head of the reception department was such a glamorous person."

"I don't mind the rhetoric. Can you answer what I asked?

Marie blocks her words and the store owner raises an eyebrow in a grumpy manner.

But his expression quickly disappeared, and he grinned again with a melancholy grin.

"Heh, heh. That was just a used house. What's wrong with the property over there?

"As a matter of fact, you said that the property purchased by the Lords was also purchased by Lily, the" B-rank Adventurer ". I came here to see if there was a mistake at the time of the sale."

Marie deliberately highlighted the part called "B-Rank Adventurer".

Because of this, the shopkeeper let him wiggle his shoulders like he was frightened.

Thin raw sweat seeps into my bald head, which should have been dry earlier.

To mislead it, the shopkeeper stroked his head and laughed karakularly.

"Hey, I'm glad our store is currently thriving. The number of contracts awarded is more than ten times the usual number. So maybe accidentally, I gave him the wrong key. No. Ha-ha-ha."

Marie, who was observing the store owner, wondered, "I see that's how it came."

Marie currently stuck her neck in Tor and the rest of the world, and until she slipped through the reception business, she even turned up to the Chamber of Commerce for Property Sales because she was given a real market assignment from her lord (who is the lead butler, to be exact).

The physical grasp Marie needs to make is an excessive increase in the price of the property.

Valuing goods is a merchant's freedom. I have no problem putting any kind of product or price on it.

If it's expensive, it won't sell, and if it's cheap, it won't make a profit.

If we value it properly, it will all lead to the result of strangling the merchant.

But the current Finris, where the fire broke out, is different.

The demand for housing has risen significantly, so it can be sold even at a price that pops up.

Naturally, as a lord, I do not consider it necessary to curb the profitability of merchants.

The more money the merchants make, the more tax revenues they make.

However, price increases that have facilitated people's misfortunes and weaknesses cannot be overlooked as lords.

Because lords are now moving to make their citizens live the same life as before as soon as possible.

A significant increase in the selling price of a merchant's property is an act of obstruction that wastes the lord's movement.

"Investigate entities against unfair price increases"

The guild, yes, had received a request from the lord.

But Marie, who actually visited the Chamber of Commerce, had a smell somewhere.

(Thank you. It doesn't look like it's just the price increase. There's something else you might be hiding.)

I sense that the sense of being a receptionist that I have cultivated over the years is that this shopkeeper is hiding something.

Okay, so how do we cut in?

As Marie was haunting her head, Tor appeared from the side with a piece of paper.

"Excuse me. It's this property."

"Ah..."

On the face of the shopkeeper who saw the paper, he said, 'Shit!' The thought came to mind.

Marie looks at the paper in a hurry. However, it is property information without any change in philosophy.

What the hell did the man react to this?

As Marie tilted her neck, Tor stepped forward a long time.

"This property looks exactly like the one we received from our lord, but why is this still on the" On Sale "bulletin board?

"Chi, no. I just forgot to pick it up after I sold it! Nothing, I wasn't actually selling it!

To Thor's inquiry, the shopkeeper shook his head.

And he hastily snatched the paper and tore it away.

"Shh, I'm sorry. I'm busy, so I forgot to pick it up."

"Was I? By the way, where can I make a key?

…………

I'm not going to answer Thor's question this time.

- No, I can't answer that.

The owner's face is already pale.

On his forehead, there was a lot of fatty sweat.

"Mr. Marie. Do you know a store where you can make a key?

"Yeah, I know a few things"

"Yes, it is."

That said, Tor approached the shopkeeper even closer.

It's like revealing a secret story, talking in the store owner's ear.

"How often did you make a key? Find out, and you'll find out soon enough. Still, do you want to hang up on me?

".................. Gu"

"The opponents are Adventurers Guild and B-Rank Adventurers, as well as Lords. You should think about what you should do."

Thor's voice sounded so much like his spine trembled even Marie on the side of the pursuit.

If his spearhead is right for him, Marie must be unwilling to resist.

(This, you've decided to compete...)

As Marie expected, the shopkeeper confessed one sin after another he committed himself.

Not only did this store raise the price, but it also dyed its hands on multiple sales: what a single property to sell to multiple people.

"Because you can make money like it's funny..." is the criminal's valve.

The shopkeeper was captured by the gendarmerie Marie called and taken to the detention centre.

Marie thinks as she looks at the store owner being taken.

- You've been drastically cornered since Mr. Thor started talking.

At the moment there is no insignificant evidence, so the shopkeeper should have misled if he wanted to mislead.

After Marie and the others left the scene, she could have misled multiple sales by letting the keyshops she was using hold a lot of money.

However, the shopkeeper made a brief confession.

It was as if he had also been subjected to the confessional technique used by the clergy.

"You must have lost Mr. Thor's intimidation."

I don't know why the man briefly confessed, but thanks to him, I got important information.

If we gather this information and pass it on to the Lords, it will be a constant achievement as an Alliance.

(I couldn't do anything during the Finris raid, so I need to save it here...)

In Finris, the Adventurer Alliance remains discredited.

Any small work must be done as a guild so that it can be trusted at all.

(Thanks to Mr. Thor, I think I'll be able to report soon. Maybe next time I'll ask you out to dinner to thank me? Ugh)

Back to the Alliance Marie's already full of heads about how to dictate the promising future adventurers she invited to dinner.
