Alright, Let’s Turn Slaves Into Adventurers

Chapter 25 Investment Genius

The slaves returned while making smoke for product development.

I’ve packed a lot of things, and it looks like I’ve completed the request safely, but my expression isn’t good.

To congratulate them for their hard work, they decided to listen to their stories while handing over samples of sake and smoked products.

“What is all this happening!?”

Alexia emptied the glass of her spirit and set it down.

I poured more alcohol.

She stuffed her smoked cheese into her mouth and gulped down the spirits.

“The monopoly of the labyrinth, what are the guild and the lord thinking? Although Sun Godism is the largest religion on the continent,

Isn’t that the kingdom’s state religion? Moreover, that labyrinth is like a silver mine. It is against the national interest.”

I emptied the glass again.

Since he was a nobleman, he seems familiar with alcohol.

“Is it rare even in the Empire?”

Alexia nodded her head.

“Borrowing a labyrinth and leaving Margot, you can’t be in a labyrinth where resources come out. No.”

“Because the Sun Faith Church has its headquarters in the Sun Alliance in the first place.”

Elsa said while drinking wine with raisins as a snack.

“Right. It’s strange to have another country monopolize a mine that requires neither development nor miners.”

… Seeing that, it’s strange.

I also bought the carcass of a large lizard.

Three gold coins. If it was the Sun God, there would be people, and if it was copied well, it would be worth it.

As if Azu couldn’t keep up with her story, she sipped grape juice instead of alcohol.

Even if you like smoked eggs, eat them well.

As a product for sale, it looks fine.

“I’m glad you came back safely. I’m going out to do some errands, so I’ll finish it properly and rest.”

“Can I empty this bottle?”

“Do whatever you want.”

“Oh, thank you.”

“I’ll finish this wine too.”

The two older sisters were already drunk.

Well, I’ll take care of it.

I left her room and left her behind to Az.

Az was treated as a toy by Alexia.

I think he was hoping for my helping hand, but it’s probably just a whim.

I hurriedly sent someone to buy silver.

The labyrinth must have been responsible for about 10% of the silver production in this area.

When the price of silver rises, everyone attacks the labyrinth. So the balance was right.

I don’t know if the Sun God Church took over silver, but it will have some effect.

As Azu and the others disposed of the ore they had picked up, they secured silver using about 20% of the funds in hand.

Even if nothing happens, there will be no big loss if it is a silver spot.

I didn’t buy only Damascus ore.

The Damascus ore in that labyrinth is not of a quality that can be processed.

If you refine a large amount, you will get a small amount, but it is unlikely that the payoff will be right.

I live only to the point of not being noticed. Even so, I only have bills in my hand.

Anyway, I don’t know.

The purpose of the Sun God, and the lord who allowed it.

The lord of this place must have been a proper person…. He was never even heard of as an ardent Sun Cultist.

To prepare for big changes,

It would be good to gather some information.

When I got home, all three slaves were asleep in my room.

Empty bottles rolled around.

I sighed and closed the door. Let it sleep

Az looked pitiful for being hugged like a pillow by Elsa and Alexia.

A few days after that, the price of silver started to rise slowly.

Looks like the rumors spread that the Church of the Sun is occupying the ore labyrinth, right?

Az Muri is processing a suitable request.

With those three, intermediate quests should be handled easily. These days, the activities of the monsters are active, so the requests are endless.

I kept checking the price of silver while earning pennies like that.

Around a month has passed.

Has risen by about 20%.

It seems that there is talk of making money.

As the price of silver and other ores rose, a blacksmith he knew started crying.

I don’t think even the Sun God can ignore the voices of dissatisfaction.

Another month has passed and the price of silver has risen by 30% from the original price.

I decided to sell everything at that price.

I felt overheated as silver prices rose beyond expectations.

This ideal was dangerous.

It was decisive that an acquaintance was trading silver.

The buyer came out right away.

Would you have earned 100 coins if converted into gold coins?

To celebrate, a grandiose steak party was held with the one-horned cow demon that Azu had caught.

Everybody ate and drank so much that they couldn’t control themselves.

Alexia is weak in alcohol, but she likes it quite a bit.

Elsa is a priest, so she only drinks wine. She has never been seen drunk.

The smell of her distilled spirit made her face red.

A few days after that, as the ore labyrinth was liberated, the city’s silver market plummeted.

I quietly made a note to ignore the labyrinth for the time being.

The amount of information collected also increased considerably.

Similarly, it seems that the Sun God Church has occupied several labyrinths.

The price of silver in the Allies did not fluctuate.

The labyrinth silver was either not brought in or was consumed.

In addition, Damascus steel prices rose slightly across all continents.

The lord of this city doesn’t reveal himself recently.

It seems that the child is working as a substitute.

It is a problem that the lord’s son is an ardent follower of the Sun God.

It’s just a rumor, but there is a story that the Sun God doesn’t even pay customs duties.

… It wouldn’t be good if it reached the ears of the head of the kingdom.

Such an important story is not something a mere tool dealer can do.

Let’s keep an eye on the lord issue.

I’m going to stop by the Adventurer’s Guild and find a new quest.
