My Magical System

Chapter 224: Merchant Guild

“That’s a good necklace,” Eman said with a gentle smile to Eina, who was currently clasping the necklace in between her hands.

In the middle of the crescent moon pendant, there was a tiny emerald stone.

Eman could tell that it was an Uncommon-tier Necklace of Protection. Thanks to his futuristic vision, details regarding the necklace appeared like illustrations.

When he visited the market last time, he saw only common tiers. Looks like even Uncommon-tiers in this empire became Rare-tier because of the lack of supply. It surprised him that Zennie gifted it to Eina. It was a valuable item after all.

Meanwhile, they were inside the carriage traveling towards their destination.

“By the way, Bro, what did you give to Big Sis Zennie before we departed?” Eina suddenly asked him.

She noticed her brother handed something to Zennie. She also noticed her Big Sister’s face turned beet red the moment she took it. That’s why Eina was very curious about it.

.....

Right.

Before they left the Merchant Guild, Eman also gifted Zennie a pair of earrings. It was Rare-tier Earrings Of Protection. He originally wanted to give it to Eina for her protection. But since Zennie beat him to that, he decided to give it to Zennie. Not because he needed to compensate her for gifting his sister with such a valuable gift. But because he felt she needed it.

Part of it was, he was moved by her speech a while ago. Also, it was already in his motto that– whenever he helped someone, he would never waste his effort. So since he helped her, he wanted her to become safer even for a little.

That necklace she gave to Eina must be protecting her the whole time.

In truth, Eman noticed the worried expression on Miss Liz’s face the moment Zennie handed the necklace to Eina.

Although he was silent the whole time and did not even ask their reason for traveling so far, Eman was able to perceive that Zennie and the rest were anxious for something. That’s why he handed her the Rare-tier Earrings of Protection just to be sure.

It has a better effect than the necklace she gave to Eina.

When the carriage of Eman and Eina disappeared away to the end of rows of buildings and stalls in the distance, Zennie and the others went inside the Merchant Guild building. They had important matters they needed to do.

Even though there were several people inside, the place didn’t even look jammed with people. Thanks to its spacious interior.

After seeing their group, one of the uniformed people who was at the counter approached them.

“Welcome! Are you here to do business? Or here for an appointment?” One of the merchant guild crew greeted them.

Zennie was stunned for a moment. She was overwhelmed by her surroundings and the number of new faces around her.

“Lady...” Sensing her stupefied behavior, Liz called out her name to reawaken her from her daze.

Zennie breathed deeply upon hearing her. She had to do it, for the sake of the people of Rothsport.

“B-business, I came here to buy lots of medicine.”

A few days ago, the town of Rothsport suffered an unprecedented predicament. Many of their people fell sick and on top of that, they were running out of medical supplies.

Even in the House of Rothsport, only Zennie, and her father who was yet to fall to the illness. That’s why she volunteers to come here to buy a huge sum of medicinal supplies.

The Merchant Guild is the main trading company in the empire. They could supply high quantity products to any locals or international buyers, sellers, or traders.

So, if one wanted to purchase a huge quantity of products, the merchant guild was the right choice. Not only were they able to avoid the burden of transporting the products by themselves, but they could also expect the safety of their products.

In terms of unexpected events happening while transporting the goods, the company would be responsible for it and was obliged to compensate for the lost product.

Dealing business with the merchant guild is always done in the legal process.

The buyers who wished to buy an innumerable amount of goods were required to be a member of the association.

Fortunately, the Rothsport family was already a member of it. They even purchased different kinds of goods in quantitative amounts. They were also regular customers of the merchant guild. So it wasn’t actually the first time of the Rothsport family to deal business with the merchant guild.

However, the crew could not identify Zennie. Perhaps because it was her aunt who often dealt business with them. However, her aunt also fell ill.

So, there was only Zennie who could do it.

There were some rules for a buyer who wanted to buy a large number of products. One of them was- One must be a member of a noble family and a member of that family must be present while doing business. It was the reason that Zennie came along with the others.

Zennie took her family insignia and presented it to the merchant guild crew.

“I see. The Rothsport family, here, please.”

Upon verifying that it was real, the crew bowed slightly, then beckoned them to follow her at the counter for the additional checklist. Along with the others, they followed her.

However, when the crew came to check the supplies, they learned some unexpected bad news. Zennie and the others learned that they could not purchase a large amount of medicine as there was a lack of supplies recently.

“What? Is that true?”

Zennie asked despondently.

The crew showed a sorry expression on her face while bowing her head.

“Sorry, Lady, there has been a problem gathering medicinal herbs and plants lately. Because of the lack of supply, the price of medicinal herbs and plants had risen unprecedentedly and so did the price of medicine. In this case, we could only sell out one-fourth of the total amount you wished to buy because of various reasons.”

“One-fourth...?” Zennie muttered with a dejected face. It wasn’t enough for the whole town.

“Lady Zennie...”

Worriedly, her servant, Liz, called out her name.

Zennie breathed out deeply.

“In this case, we can only try our luck in the local market for the remaining amount,” Zennie suddenly declared.
