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 .
