Chapter 406: Man’s Greed is Boundless
It finally starting to look like the honeymoon I imagined.
Well, Queen Fraal and Ryuka-san visited frequently to drink tea and complain was unexpected though.
The reason Queen Fraal came to Samandour Kingdom was, of course, because of work, unlike us who just came by all willy-nilly.
In the Demon Continent, it was possible to obtain magic stones, monster materials, and other things that were hard to come by. These were sold to Samandour Kingdom at a low price, which is then sold to countries that could process them, or be sold as raw materials at many times its market value.
Even in our continent, we were able to get magic stones and monster parts in the Adventurers Guild, but in the Demon Continent, even Dragon-type monsters were common enemies that appeared in dungeons, so ours can’t beat the the quality of the magic stones and the materials of high ranking monsters from the Demon Continent..ViiSiit for latest novels
However, the trade of those monster materials and magic stone was decreasing.
And it was related to me too.
Actually, despite its distance to the Demon Continent, trade takes place between the Sanctuary and Accuros.
After all, we have the giant magic battleship, Oceanus. No matter how much of an advantage it has in distance, the difference in capacity and cruising speed between it and a cooking ship is like heaven and earth.
Actually, the matters with the Demon Continent were reported to Margrave Volton. Even Valkyra Kingdom knows that Samandour Kingdom trades with the Demon Continent in small quantities. I was asked if there were things I could do with high quality magic stones and materials, so when I asked Queen Fraal, she said that an increase in trading partners was a warm welcome.
Aside from the magic stones and monster materials from Accuros, we import condiments like pepper, the grains and steel armaments from Valkyra Kingdom, and we export magic devices created from the imported magic stones and monster materials.
Additionally, Valkyra Kingdom’s ally Lomaria Kingdom, and Yggurle Kingdom whose relationship had been improving via the Sanctuary have begun exporting monster materials an magic stones for magic devices, so the amount of trade made with Samandour Kingdom was decreasing.
That’s free competition, so it’s not my fault.
A flashy carriage arrived at a certain palatial residence.
「Well, supplies were distributed to both sides during the war, so...... it couldn’t be helped.」
Then Earl Sechnal suddenly changed topics.
「......oh yeah, Lord Vautarc has connections to the Dark Guild, doesn’t he?」
「Yes. Their numbers are few, but I remember there was an organization with a skilled execution squad, but...... what of it?」
Earl Sechnal smiled repulsively at the butler’s question.
「What, I was thinking about the get-rich-scheme that Earl Vautarc proposed.」
「Get-rich-scheme?」
「Yeah, that carriage that even royalty couldn’t have, as well as the Dragon Horse pulling it. Those and I even found a beautiful elf I’ve never seen before.」
「............」
The butler desperately resisted the urge to sigh. His master wants to obtain something in a shady manner once again. How long would this last? The butler could only imagine his master was heading to his own ruin.
