All Warriors Are My Disciples

32. Trade

“Master? Did you just pass the forge?”

“Master! I just passed all the stores!”

“Huh? Are you passing by here too? Master!”

“No, Master! How far are you going!”

That bastard master, how many times are you calling me?

At this point, the scabs are all set on my ears.

There has never been a time in my life where I didn’t want to hear Master’s voice.

At least at this moment, Iris’s mouth was really shut down.

It was to the point where I wanted to either cover my ears or not.

“Master!!”

If you just keep your mouth shut and follow me, where does it get worse?

With my mouth shut, I went further and further towards the outskirts of the city.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the main street, people are less crowded.

If only the clothes worn by people in the city were extremely flashy.

I saw a lot of people who looked dull and smelled like dirt when they approached.

Now that we’ve come this far, it’s time to start looking for it in earnest.

My privilege is to find a ‘secret merchant’ among the goblin merchants.

And finding the goblin merchants is a matter of sheer effort.

“Master. At this rate, I’m about to leave the city altogether.”

“That’s what you want, damn student.”

“Yes?”

“The merchant I am looking for is someone who is never welcome in the city. But he can’t go back, so in the end he retreats to the outskirts as much as possible, and somehow makes a living there.”

The goblin traders are part of a group that has been mingled with human society since time immemorial.

I know how to use human language, and I don’t even wear a single pair of panties like my own people.

It doesn’t gorge itself and tries not to collide with humans.

That’s why people see them not as monsters, but as goblins.

However, it can’t be helped that the treatment is not as good as the treatment of the same person.

Especially the more prominent the guy up there, the more he ignored the goblins and treated them carelessly.

That’s why most of them withdrew to the outskirts, not the city center.

“Hey! Master! Look over there! Excuse me!”

“Oh.”

I never dreamed that Iris would find this before me.

A few goblins had set up a board where he pointed.

Originally a goblin would raise a crude weapon with the sound of ‘Kiruk!’

Though they hear the sound of monsters that threaten people and sometimes hurt them.

“There are herbs. Good condition! Good night!”

“There are raspberries I just picked. It’s fresh, so try it once and go!”

Because they have already lived in the human world since long ago.

It could be said that he has a more humane side than any other human being.

“Me, Master? Were goblins originally monsters?”

“Yes. Although it is a small monster, it can easily catch and harm a person.”

“But why in the city? Even if it’s not the center, but the outskirts, how could the monster….”

“You are a goblin, but don’t call me a monster, Iris.”

“Yes?”

“No matter how they look, those goblins have been mixed with humans for a very long time.”

“Nonsense! In the city where Master and I sometimes went down, there were a lot of stories about goblins kidnapping her child or harming a woman!”

“That’s true, but those guys are the ones who will fight and rescue a woman or a child if they face a goblin like that. It could be seen as a bit of an odd case.”

Iris nodded her head as if she roughly understood my words.

In fact, it can be said that beastmen and elves are similar cases.

Many live isolated lives, avoiding contact with humans.

Also, some beastmen and elves resisted such a decision and live well by mixing with human society.

If there is anything different from goblins, it is that they are inherently beautiful.

So I guess it’s to the point that even the high-ranking people don’t show any signs of disliking it.

“By the way, wait a minute. Master. You’re not saying you’re buying my present from those goblins, are you?”

“That’s right.”

“No, nonsense! Master! Do you have something to mow for me?!”

“Why? Aren’t you very friendly with the grass?”

“No way! Why do you think I’m friendly with mowing!”

“If you brought it to collect herbs, half of them were weeding friends, right? So you thought we were close?”

Iris’s expression becomes a mess as I blow her lines while working hard on her expression.

I hope you do so with all your heart! It makes no sense! To say that, my expression is too serious.

Is this a real grassing gift again?! It’s so absurd that it’s hard to believe.

I wonder if I should play a little more.

But if it goes beyond this, it is certain that even Iris will vomit.

It’s so strong that you can’t even say a word for a day or so.

“Could I give my disciple a present as grass? Iris.”

“… Really?”

“Then it must be fake. Anyway, my pupil is such an idiot.”

“Ooh ooh! It’s not that I’m stupid, it’s that Master was too serious!”

It’s the fault of the fool.

Shrugging my shoulders, I approached the goblin merchants.

Then, the guys start to solicit customers.

This herb is really good, and this fruit is just picked.

Try it once and make up your mind.

It was only the appearance that was different, but other parts could be said to be almost identical to humans.

“… Everyone is really working hard.”

“Yes. Everyone is trying to live like that. It’s a world full of such people. Devil worshipers are the ones who will push them off a cliff and then giggle.”

“How did they and the world get so twisted?”

“I don’t know either. I wouldn’t wish for someone to answer me.”

If I knew that, I wouldn’t be doing this, but I would have caught it from the source.

The source of everything that was useless and uninteresting when playing games, and the beginning.

I can’t do anything because I don’t know.

The only thing I can do is to protect myself and my disciples from that ‘hostility’.

In reverse, I had no choice but to push myself and my disciples into this world.

While thinking that, I was walking in a daze.

I felt something brilliant golden light linger in front of me.

“… Found.”

“Yes?”

“I found it. A goblin who will sell you nice things.”

When I went there, it always had only a faint glow that meant it was not good.

Something that can be said to be fine, but it is not very useful.

So, most of them were secret merchants who could only say ‘gwang’ every time.

I thought it would be good to look forward to seeing that he was exuding a very bright energy this time.

“Hey.”

“Are you a guest?”

“Guests are welcome, but not grass or strange fruits. I want to see something else.”

“You mean something else?”

“Don’t pretend you don’t know. When you wander around the mountains, there are things you accidentally pick up.”

Then, the secret merchant’s eyes slowly roll.

Even though this is what they buy, they also sell things that they think are certain.

They are the ones who get the price of the things they want to sell.

Right now, rolling my eyes here and there must be looking at Iris and I.

“Is this what you want?”

Shows the magic stone in front of the secret merchant.

Then the goblin’s eyes widened wide and exclaimed, ‘Kiruk!’

I hurriedly covered my mouth, but as expected, it was a goblin that couldn’t be helped.

“… Are you a Magician? Does it look pretty good?”

“It came from an intermediate level monster. This should be pretty good.”

“Can I take a look? Aren’t you running away?”

“As much as you like.”

Iris narrowed her eyes as I held out the magic stone to the secret merchant.

It seems that if she even runs away with one, she will catch it on the spot.

But that won’t happen.

Although secret traders tend to be obsessed with gems.

However, as a merchant, he is not someone who betrays even the minimum amount of credit.

This is an independent world, but it inevitably bears a similarity to the game.

Because of that, there was, of course, a predictable category.

“Guest.”

A secret trader looks up at me to see if his feelings are finally over.

“Is this a good thing?”

“There are eyes that see. It was earned through hard work.”

“At this rate, can I give you up to two items you want?”

Two items for one magic stone.

I only thought of one thing, but that’s pretty generous.

“Good. Then can I see some things?”

“Okay. Then would you like me to follow you for a while?”

It’s not like a goblin who hears monsters, risking his life for greed.

After all, they cannot escape the limits of their species, so there is something greedy about them.

If you unpack ‘real exhaust’ things in a place like this, you will be checked by your colleagues.

And because of the high price, if you do something wrong, you may get into a fight.

For this reason, it is fundamental to keep the real thing hidden in one’s hiding place.

Juseomjuseom Organizing the things he was selling.

The goblin peeked at the other merchants and asked them to carefully follow him.

“Master.”

Iris is about to follow the secret merchant, but Iris suddenly opens her mouth.

Her worried eyes seemed to tell me that she was following me too unquestioningly.

“My disciple. I hope that you are not imagining nonsense.”

“… Hmmm, is that so?”

“You, who dealt with even the intermediate monsters, fell into the traps dug by the goblins. I paint a picture of the four masters being defeated by the goblins. If I can imagine this much, I think 100 nights should be hit.”

“Ahahahaha! No way! Not really! I just thought of Master’s words not to follow strangers, and the thought just popped out of my reflex!”

That’s when you don’t know anything yet.

It’s a saying that only goes through in the early days when you could be harmed by goblins.

Now, while catching even intermediate level monsters without difficulty, what are they worried about?

It can be called a crisis only when the fragments of the Demon God come out.

It doesn’t just pop out like this at any time, and above all, because it’s a ‘boss monster’, it always causes a precursor phenomenon before it appears.

“So, don’t think strangely, go and choose something you like.”

After shooting Iris like that, follow the secret merchant.

As you enter a shabby warehouse, you will see a side door leading to the back.

Going inside, you’ll find a tool shed, and after that, another door will appear.

As I entered through the door, I could feel the golden light becoming more brilliant.

“Is this what I got this time? Can you take a quick look at it?”

The secret merchant showed me two swords, a shield, and a spear.

It was a set of armor, a few accessories, and a uniquely shaped mask.

“Everything looks usable.”

“Do you have good eyes? Did you just bring it from a deep forest far away from here?”

At a glance, these items were used in the ancient kingdom.

Although it is a bit rusty and gives off a shabby energy.

With treasures like this, it’s not even a job to revive their energy.

“What do you want? They are all of similar value, so can you give me two?”

Two is definitely not a losing business.

However, it’s quite disappointing to only pick the main event.

In the game, you could only get a set number of items.

You don’t have to do that here.

“Hey.”

“Yes, sir.”

“It’s a magic stone, I know you can sell it as much as you like through a set route. But this stuff is a bit different. There is no set market price, it is difficult to sell, and you may be suspicious if you keep it. So, when an opportunity like this comes, it would be better to sell it quickly.”

“… What do you want to say?”

What do you ask? I think you already noticed.

“Two is a bit less. Do it with four.”
