“Why does that lead to the qualities of a great merchant?”
I asked Chris back out of pure curiosity.
If someone asked me about the qualities of a dragon knight, I could answer about five in an instant, but the qualities of a merchant were completely out of my area of expertise.
I was curious, so I decided to ask.
“Hahahahaha, good one, my true friend. Your curiosity is an even more valuable quality.”
Chris replied in an increasingly good mood.
“There are two main reasons. First of all, you know that there are people who make money at every step of the way, from raw materials to processing to sales.”
“That’s right…… Oh, so if you do everything yourself, you also make that much money?” I asked.
“Exactly,” Chris said.
“…There’s more to it than that.”
I pinched my chin, imagined, thought.
“There’s no way I’m going to be forced to pay higher prices at some point,” I said.
“Hahahahaha, gwahahahahaha!”
Chris’s mood finally broke through the limit, and he looked up at the ceiling and started laughing.
The house shuddered and the floor shook slightly.
“Hey, stop laughing like an idiot.”
“Gwahahaha, sorry, sorry.”
Chris honestly apologized for Colette’s protest, then looked at me.
“It’s great to hear one thing and understand ten things, my true friend.”
“Huh?”
“The second reason was exactly that. More to the point, buying from others and sharing the profits is good when it works, but if something goes wrong, it can lead to others taking over your life,” Chris said.
“That’s scary,” I said.
It’s like a tavern being stopped from stocking alcohol.
It’s not just scary, it’s deadly.
“Hmm. So I like the idea of taking it all in hand,” Chris said.
“Really?”
I thought for a moment.
“But Cyril-san…”
She had been listening to the conversation in silence, but Emma opened her mouth.
“It’s okay to buy Galians from time to time, but it wouldn’t be good if the dragon knight was seen making his own Galians.”
“Yes, definitely not a good idea.”
I nodded and patted Emma.
“Cyril-san?” Emma said.
“Thank you for bringing this to my attention,” I said.
“You, you’re welcome”
Yes, it’s not a good idea to make Galians openly.
We need a way to hide it.
If that’s the case…….

The next day, I headed to the Dragon Market in Mannow by myself.
I asked the townspeople where it was and came easily.
It wasn’t as desolate as Gigu’s Chamber of Commerce, but it was still in a much calmer section than the downtown area.
For the sake of keeping the dragons, the area of the store is inevitably large, and there are not many other buildings around.
The number of people asking about it is also reduced, so it’s only natural that the area becomes more relaxed.
At a glance, there were four stores.
I looked at the buildings and the atmosphere of the stores and went into the one that looked good at first glance.
“What kind of dragon are you looking for?”
The middle-aged man who greeted me had a big belly, but he was soft-spoken and nice.
“I’m looking for a Gargoyle type, do you have one?” I said.
“Of course I do. Come this way.”
The man then led me to the back of his store.
I opened the back door and found myself in an open garden.
Mannow’s store was almost exactly the same as Boalsel’s.
“This way, sir.”
The man led me to a cage.
Inside the cage lay a dragon about my size.
It was a small-sized dragon, not much bigger than a human.
The man unbolted the lock and opened the cage.
Please take your time and check it out.
With that, he turned around and stood a dozen meters away.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
I was face to face with a dragon – a gargoyle type.
“Hello. My name is Cyril Larose.”
“……”
There was no reply.
The Gargoyle type just looked up a little and immediately went back to lying down again.
So far, this was a normal reaction.
I took it a step further.
“You may be surprised, but I understand the language of dragons. I’d like to talk to you first.”
“sure.”
“……”
“……”
“……”
“……”
“can, can we have a conversation?”
“What do you want me to say?”
“Well, you know, there’s this thing called a conversational ball…” I said.
“……?”
The Gargoyle type tilted its head slightly.
Well, I don’t know what to do when you have the “I don’t understand what people are saying” face.
“You don’t like to talk?
“I don’t…….”
“I see.”
This one’s quite quiet, isn’t it?
Even dragons come in all shapes and sizes.
Even if you can’t talk to them, they’re kind of known to you, and I, who can talk to them, understand them better.
There’s nothing wrong with being quiet, as long as you can talk to each other, like now.
So I made a final confirmation.
” I think I’ll go get you. Is that okay”
“Do what you want.”
“Yeah, I’ll do that.”
I smiled and said, “Ha-ha.”
I turned around and beckoned to the man.
The man came closer to me.
“How did you like it?”
” I like it. Can I take it home with me?”
“Of course, sir.”
“How much?’
“10,000 reals, sir.”
“There.”
I nodded and handed him the bills I had exchanged at the church before coming here.
Gold and silver coins are not really suitable for large transactions.
They’re too bulky and heavy.
So, the gold and silver coins are first converted into something valuable and easy to carry around, and then they are used for transactions.
The easiest to use is the “church bill” issued by the church.
Churches are located all over the country, and they have a lot of money from donations from their followers, and they have a lot of public trust.
The bills issued by the churches are used for large transactions because the amount of money written on them can be withdrawn at any church.
Incidentally, there is no fee to put money in and out of the church through church bills, unlike other bill shops, but they do ask for a substantial fee in the form of a donation under silent pressure.
The pretext is that the church serves God and is not in it to make money.
It’s an interesting premise.
I took out a church bill with a face value of 10,000 reals and handed it to him.
When the man saw that it was a church bill, he smiled more and more and took it.
The reason he was smiling was because he knew he could exchange the church bills for sure, and it would save him the trouble of counting the silver coins.
For a merchant, counting a large amount of silver coins is a cost in itself.
“I’m impressed. How can you pay for 10,000 reels immediately with church bills? I’m sure you’re a very famous dragon knight.”
The man gave me a big business smile.
“I’d like to know your name, if you don’t mind.”
“Cyril.”
“Mr. Cyril of ……, the Dragon First?”
“You know it?”
I was surprised.
I hadn’t expected to hear the name of a guild just because I said my name.
“Of course you do. Mr. Cyril of Dragon First, the man of the moment, it’s a great honor to have you buy from us.”
It was an unexpected turn of events.
For a while after that, I was praised to death by the man.
He’s a businessman, so there’s a lot of flattery involved, but still.
It was a fact that my name was known, and I felt rather happy about it.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
