Chapter 127


Chapter 127 Strongest Sage, Refused Transaction


"Wha . . . Whatever could these be?"


The guild employee at the purchasing counter sounded perplexed when he saw the materials we brought .


The materials we put on the counter are from second wave monsters and the lesser parts of Void Eater .


Bringing out the good ones right from the start would make the later a.s.sessment go south .


Since we"re showing the mediocre ones instead of everything, it should be fine .


However, the a.s.sessment wasn"t done immediately .


"I"ve never seen these materials before . . . Which floor"s monsters did you get them from?"


Looks like he mistakenly thought that we got them from the dungeon .


Well, I guess it can"t be helped since most of the materials circulating in this guild probably come from the dungeon .


"These aren"t from the dungeon . They"re from monsters that showed up in the plain . "


The Second Academy student went back to the capital once the monster outbreak was over .


Thus, the guild should have been contacted already . . . But apparently, this branch hasn"t .


Well, if you exclude the Second Academy students, this guild"s battle force leaves a lot to be desired, so it"s probably postponed .


It"s gonna be the main branch"s responsibility anyway even if the guild needs to step in .


"Fumu . . . I"m not sure how to a.s.sess them since I"ve never seen these materials, but . . . Right then, let"s use these . "


The guild employee brought two big magic tools from inside as he said that .


I"m not familiar with these magic tools . . . But judging from their mana ambiance, one is probably for measuring mana quant.i.ty and the other is for measuring hardness .


They don"t seem to be of high performance .


One of the Void Eater"s bones is getting measured first .


The guild employee puts the bone on the magic tool and operate it .


And then-- .



" . . . Wha?"


He sounded perplexed again .


Afterward he puts the bone on the hardness measuring tool, and operate it . . . and tells us while sounding sorry .


"Sorry . Our magic tools seem to have broken down . I"ll get the replacement, if you"d please wait a moment . "


The employee went inside once again and came out bringing a magic tool with him .


"This is the newest magic tool that has just been adjusted today . We don"t have to worry about breakdown with this . "


The guild employee, br.i.m.m.i.n.g with confidence, puts the bone on the magic tool .


And then he peeked on the result with a smile . . . And frowned .


"Huh? The value isn"t any different from before . . . . "


"Then that means the magic tool is correct?"


Alma gave an exceedingly obvious answer to the guild employee .


However, the guild employee denied that .


"No, that can"t be right . If this value is true then that means this bone is almost as hard as adamant.i.te . "


Adamant.i.te . . . Ah . That"s about right .


Since the bone is hard and brittle, adamant.i.te is actually higher in term of strength, but the hardness should be about the same .


"Not only that . The measured mana values of these materials . . . are even higher than the monsters sp.a.w.ning on floor 20!"


Yup . "Course it"s high .


Or rather, please don"t liken this stuff with those .


" . . . I"ve got no choice but to check them manually . . . These materials might get some scratches but it should not affect their functionality . Is that alright with you?"


"I don"t mind . "


With my consent, the guild employee took out a rod with a needle attached .


And then the employee p.r.i.c.ked the bone with the tip of the needle--and broke it along with a sharp sound .


The bone itself doesn"t have a scratch on it .


" . . . Wha?"


The employee looks at the broken needle, dumbfounded .


And then he sighs once and declares .


"Sorry . This guild cannot purchase these materials . We don"t have the slightest idea of their value, in the first place, we don"t even know how to process them . "


. . . I see .


In other words, they"ll buy them if they can process them huh .
