Just from this, it’s already more than what I earned last time.
“Ivas. You mentioned earlier that you were dismantling things with a longsword—could I take a look at the longsword?”
“Ah, yes.”
I said that to Ivas and took the longsword from him. I drew the longsword from its scabbard and checked its magical information.
…Yeah, the program is starting to break down quite a bit.
“Do you know what Enchantment is?”
“Umm, it’s the thing blacksmiths do to strengthen a longsword, right?”
“That’s right. The internal magical information is called the program, but it looks like it’s been used pretty recklessly. It’s starting to fall apart considerably.”
“R-really…? Can that be fixed?”
“Yes. A blacksmith can fix it. This Enchantment greatly changes the quality of the longsword. I’ll fix it for free this time, but from next time onward it’ll be 5,000 gold per repair, so please don’t use it so recklessly, okay?”
“Yes… I understand. Thank you!”
After repairing Ivas’s longsword, I returned the longsword to him.
“Well then, I’ll come by again!”
“Yes. If you ever get a lump sum of money, I can take orders for smithing, so feel free to ask.”
“Understood!”
Ivas and Weather bowed politely and walked away.
Alicia, who had been watching, let out a delighted voice.
“Amazing. You’ve already earned more than last week.”
“Yeah…. And if those two adventurers go on to get results using my weapons, I’ll be genuinely happy.”
“Being a blacksmith has that kind of joy too, huh.”
We took a lunch break, then resumed sales in the afternoon.
Then a peddler-like man came over to us.
I guessed he’d be buying here to sell in another town.
“…Hmm, you’re selling longswords and knives, huh?”
“Yes. Would you like to take a look?”
I said that and showed him the items on the table. He stared at the knife for a moment, then opened his eyes in surprise.
“…This was made using rlea Magic Ore, wasn’t it?”
“You figured that out well. You have a keen eye.”
Anyone with smithing experience would know, but being able to spot it right away is a sign of a good merchant.
“Heh heh, I’ve been peddling for a long time… Nice, this. I’ll take one knife and one longsword, please.”
“Understood… as for the price――”
We did a bit of haggling after that.
I wanted to sell them together for about 50,000 gold, but he was a businessman too.
“I can’t beat you on this. Then, 35,000 gold for both. In return, please advertise Faik’s smithy, okay?”
“Ah, of course. Thanks.”
The peddler smiled broadly, and I accepted the payment.
After the peddler left, I let out a small sigh.
Maybe thanks to him, we’ll get more customers in the future.
Then, until the sun set
Today’s earnings were――
“Two longswords and two knives… a total of 75,000 gold… Nice work, Faik.”
“Yeah, it’s thanks in part to Alicia as well.”
Nothing else sold after that, so this was the day’s takings.
It’s jumped a lot compared to last week, so it’s not bad.
