Chapter 368
People scream when they are startled, and shut their mouths when they are startled.
The situation at the gymnasium right now is shocking itself. Even though the neck and tail were not fully extended, the presence of Drake, who was over 30m tall, left everyone half-hearted.
Raon turned his gaze to the right and looked at the faces of the merchants.
Until a little while ago, Jesser was cheering for victory, and the merchants waving their hands shut their mouths as tight as honey-eaten mutants.
Conversely, his eyes wide open and he was busy examining Drake, who filled the gymnasium.
‘Other successors will be similar.’
He smiled softly and turned his eyes to Dialun and Fallen, who were standing next to him.
Falen, who felt sympathy with Dorian, was so startled that he sat down, and Dialun drooled as he looked at Drake, who could not see everything at a glance.
‘That’s completely out of my mind.’
Jesser, who was standing in the center, had his eyes wide open as if he could not believe this situation.
It looked as if his soul had been drained after being properly beaten by Dorian, who had been ignoring his existence.
Finally saw Addis.
‘This is… There is no change.’
It’s also not unusual.
He looked at Dorian and Drake with plain eyes without being surprised by the only one in this dance hall.
I thought about it before, but it seems that not everyone is running a large-scale trading company.
– All the faces are sang.
Lars looked around and grinned.
– Seeing the dark things calmed down, it felt like I ate mint chocolate ice cream!
Raon smiled and nodded.
‘okay. It’s cool inside.’
When I saw the merchants, who had been saying that the battle was over since they returned, collapsed with pale faces, I felt refreshed.
“Whoa… .”
I looked to the side at the sound of thin breathing. Dorian was clenching his fists and shaking his shoulders. Seeing that his lips were curled up, he seemed to be delighted with the people’s reactions.
After a short but long silence, the mouths of those who had stopped as if time had stopped began to open.
“Hey, is that Drake? Isn’t that a dragon?”
“Even as it is now, it is much bigger than the drake that Master Jesser brought… .”
“If you straighten your head and tail, will it be over 35m?”
“Hey, where did you get that?”
“Look at that. The scales are still alive. Like Master Jeser, it means that I caught it this time!”
“Master Dorian only moved with White Sword Dragon. then… .”
“The two of us must have caught that monster.”
The merchants gulped dry saliva, admiring Drake’s overwhelming size and Raon’s power.
“Oh, no… .”
Jesser walked over to Dorian’s side with his lips trembling.
“What, what! Where did you get this!”
For the first time, Dorian appeared in his eyes, who had been ignoring the existence of his younger brother.
“Caught.”
Dorian shrugged as if nothing had happened.
“Where did you get it?!”
Jesser was vicious as if he had forgotten that he had ignored Dorian until now.
“I caught it from afar.”
Dorian answered with a leisurely smile as if he had learned from Raon.
“You bastard are making fun of me… .”
“Wow!”
As Jesser was about to run at Dorian, Addis came over with a cough.
“Dorian. Spread the Drake properly.”
“Ah yes!”
Dorian ignored Jesser and ran, letting Drake’s head and tail hang in a straight line.
Even in a crumpled state, it was larger than Jesser’s Drake, but when it was spread out long, the difference was wide enough to look like an adult and a baby.
“Hey, looking at it this way, the size difference is much greater… .”
“I know. Master Jesser’s drake is about 25m, and Master Dorian’s drake is over 35m.”
“If there is such a difference, it can be said that the successor has already been decided.”
“Shut up!”
“It’s ruined… .”
The merchants who followed Jeser thought that it was over, shook their heads and let out a sigh until the ground went out.
Addis nodded as he listened to the merchants’ reactions.
“The results are out. with this… .”
“yet! Not yet!”
Jesser raised his hand and stepped forward. The haughty eyes filled with urgency.
“What do you mean yet?”
Addis slowly turned to look at Jeser.
“I admit that Dorian’s Drake is bigger. But big is not all good, is it? The durability of the claws, teeth, and bones would be better than the one I caught. There… .”
He pointed to Dorian’s Drake and narrowed his eyes.
“Look at those wounds. Aren’t the scales full of cracks? I’m sure the inside will be a mess and there’s not much to use!”
“exactly… .”
“If it was that size, I would have stabbed Kang Ki several times. I may have been upset.”
“The scales are very messy.”

Not only Jeser, but the merchants who followed him also raised their voices to seize the last chance.
Raon laughed as he enjoyed their movements.
‘That’s more confident.’
Since Drake has lived for a long time, there are many wounds here and there, but the only cause of death is a sword strike that slams his head down.
If someone who can see properly comes, you will be surprised by the clean cut wounds that are more than 30 meters in size.
“Uh, um… .”
Dorian rubbed his stomach pocket as if anxious because he didn’t catch it himself.
“There is nothing wrong with that.”
Addis looked at the two drakes in turn and nodded.
“Oh, then… .”
“But it’s not me who decides that.”
He pointed to the dance hall door, where he heard the sound of heavy footsteps.
“The client will decide for himself.”
As soon as those words were finished, the door to the gymnasium opened, and men full of thick muscles, which would not be strange even for an Orc, entered.
The most peculiar thing was the gray-haired old man walking in the lead, and although his muscles were stronger than anyone else, he was as small as a child and had a long beard.
-Five!
Lars looked at the old man and ate his mouth.
-It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you chubby!
‘Damn it… .’
Raon narrowed her eyes as she listened to Lars.
‘Are the demons calling dwarves chunky?’
As Lars said, the Master of the Gray Hammer Guild was not a human, but a Dwarf. It was also a noun among the nouns who spread their name across the continent.
“I see the master of the gray hammer.”
Addis stepped forward and bowed his head to the Dwarf.
“Excessive greetings. Sepia stock.”
The Dwarf wiped his beard and lowered his head slightly.
“To meet Borgos-sama, who belongs to the Continental Artisan, you have to be polite.”
Addis smiled and shook her head.
‘Borgos… .’
This dwarf was a man on top of the continental craftsman along with Balkan who made the Sword of Heaven and Kuberod who made the Requiem sword.
“There is nothing that needs to be floated to come out… Ugh!”
Borgos, who was waving his hand, opened his eyes and ran forward.
It was short-legged, but it jumped at great speed and stood in front of Dorian’s Drake.
“Hey, what is this!”
Borgos’ eyes, who seemed not to be surprised if a meteorite fell from the sky, trembled as if they were electrocuted.
“A Drake of this size! It’s almost like an adult dragon!”
He bit his lip, saying he had lived as a craftsman for a long time, but had never seen a Drake of this size.
“It’s also a water-type drake with the best cold for making weapons!”
“Look at these wing bones here! It doesn’t look like it’s going to break!”
“How about these scales! It’s full of cold air, so just putting it together will make it a scale armor that won’t fit a knife?”
The artisans who came with Borgos looked at Drake and laughed out loud. It was an expression of wanting to take it home and make a weapon right away.
“Stupid things.”
Borgos chuckled as he looked at the artisans.
“You don’t see what you need to see, you see only other things.”
“Yes?”
“Hey, what… .”
Ignoring the craftsmen’s doubts, he headed towards Drake’s head.
“It’s a blow.”
Borgos swallowed dry saliva as he saw the small scabbard that had sprouted from the center of Drake’s head.
“Yes?”
“I mean, you killed this huge monster with a single sword.”
He raised his gaze. It was in front of Raon that his trembling pupils stopped.
“You?”
Borgos let out a thin breath and approached Raon.
“You can feel the unbelievable swordsmanship on your young-looking face. It’s hard to describe even with the word genius.”
As the name of the continental craftsman, he accurately grasped the power of Raon, who hid his energy.
“Can I ask for your name?”
Raon nodded his head politely. I liked how they treated me politely even though I was of a different race and a very senior person.
“My name is Raon Sieghard.”
“You’ve heard that name. A swordsman called White Sword Dragon?”
Borgos knew his nickname as if the rumor had spread to the Gray Hammer Guild.
“Until now, I have seen many swordsmen with the nickname Sword Dragon, but they are outstanding among them. I think I can see why this monster was hit by a single blow.”
He looked down at his sword and nodded.
“Sepia stockholders. Our guild will choose this drake.”
Borgos approached Addis, not paying attention to the drake brought by another successor candidate.
“Come on, wait a minute!”
Djeser clasped his hands and digs between Borgos and Addis.
“Look at the Drake I caught! Although they are small in size, they hunt neatly and there are few scars on their skin! Besides, it’s a wind attribute drake, so the skeleton will be strong… .”
“Do you think my eyes are rotten?”
Borgos’s voice subsided to the point of being chilly.
“Hey, what… .”
“Your drake looked at me as soon as he came in. Since the name Jesser is worthy of the name, I thought I brought some good stuff.”
“Oh, then… .”
“But the name must have been Heo Myung.”
Borgos glared at Jeser and frowned.
“The exterior of the Drake you brought is definitely clean. But on the inside, it gave me a lot of shock. It wasn’t enough to spit it out with force, so he must have exploded magic.”
“That, that… .”
“Then the bones shatter and the scales melt inside, leaving few usable areas. In other words, yawning.”
“ah… .”
Jesser’s face hardened as pale as a blank sheet.
“I am you. No, your father has been wielding a hammer long before he was born. Trying to deceive you with your poor language, you see me so easily.”
Borgos licked his tongue as if pathetic and turned around.
“You did something stupid. Jesser.”
Addis looked down at Djeser and sighed briefly.
“I, I just got the stuff somehow, just like my father said!”
“I never said that. Even if the stolen items are brought to the customer, the items must not have any defects. You got it all wrong.”
“Ahh… .”
Jesser knelt on the floor and bowed his head. It was a look of despair, as if realizing that it was all over.
“No, it’s ruined… .”
“How did Master Jeser end like this… .”
“Master Dialun didn’t get any attention at all.”
“Well, then, is Master Dorian the real heir?”
The eyes of the merchants standing behind Jeserna Dialun trembled pathetic like the flap of a butterfly’s wings hit by the waves.
“Has anyone predicted this outcome?”
“Oh, no. Who would have chosen Master Dorian!”
“Then, isn’t this an opportunity? A chance to stand behind Master Dorian?”
“Yes… .”
“If you do well, you can become an executive… .”
The merchants threw away the rotten rope and ate their ass off their chairs in order to get on the new rope called Dorian.
When the result came out, he had the momentum to run to Dorian before anyone else.
“I will buy your drake.”
Borgos approached Dorian and held out his hand.
“uh… .”
Dorian didn’t hold his hand and turned around to look at Raon and Addis.
“… … .”
“It’s all over, but what are you doing?”
Raon did not speak, and Addis wrinkled his forehead.
“no. It’s not over yet!”
Dorian smiled as if taking a hint from Raon’s silence and Addis’ words, and did not hold Borgos’ hand.
“Now we have to start bargaining!”
He raised his voice confidently.
“right.”
Addis nodded softly and walked over to Dorian’s side.
“If you bring something according to the request of the customer, it is the merchant’s job to raise the price of the product as much as possible to get it.”
For the first time, a proud smile appeared on his lips.
“Now you are at the starting point. Dorian.”
* * *
Dorian and Borgos entered the conference room inside the corps and began negotiations.
Behind them stood Raon and Borgos’ chief disciple.
“I’ll buy Drake’s horns, teeth, claws, and hides and bones, just as I first requested.”
Borgos raised his gaze and met Dorian’s eyes.
“Be honest. The drake you caught is the first-class item I’ve ever seen, so I don’t know the price.”
“Ah yes.”
Dorian nodded hard.
“A normal Drake’s corpse is about 800 to 1000 gold coins, so I wonder what 4 gold bars would be like.”
Borgos wrote in the contract that Dorian gave him 4 gold bars.
“Four gold bars?”
One gold bar is worth a thousand gold coins. It really was a huge amount.
“Uh… .”
Dorian glanced back as if asking for an opinion.
Raon looked at Dorian and slightly turned his eyes.
“Sin, I’m sorry, but I think it’s a little hard for that price.”
Dorian swallowed dry saliva and shook his head.
“Then I will add 300 gold coins to 4 gold bars. How is it?”
Borgos added 300 gold coins to the amount stated in the contract.
“Then 4300 gold coins… .”
Dorian sighed and turned around.
“Hmm.”
Raon lowered his eyes this time as if he didn’t like it.
“Well, that’s a bit too… .”
“Wow! Good. 600 gold coins for 4 gold bars!”
“Huh!”
Dorian turned around again, and Raon still did not raise his gaze.
“Shut up… .”
Borgos groaned without hearing Dorian’s words. Now you know who is setting the price.
“great! Make it so big you can’t refuse! I will do it with 5 gold bars!”
5 gold bars. Eventually, the price went up to 5000 gold coins.
“Shut up!”
Dorian screamed and turned around. Both hands were trembling as if to accept it quickly.
Raon shook his head with a dazed expression.
“Ugh!”
“uh… ?”
“under!”
Dorian, Borgos, and even his disciple opened their eyes.
Unlike them who were startled, Raon quietly sips tea with her arms crossed.
-hey.
Lars tilted his head.
– How old is that Drake?”
‘I don’t know.’
I heard that the stuffed drake brought by Dialun cost about 1000 gold coins, but he doesn’t know how much that drake costs.
– Then why are you refusing it?
‘Originally, there is a saying that you should decline three times when you bargain.’
– You did it 4 times?
‘I did it one more time because I didn’t know.’
-Are you really crazy? .
Lars let out a blunder as if it was absurd.
“I’m going crazy.”
Borgos frowned and raised his head.
“If I leave like this, maybe I will have to take the succession exam again?”
He grabbed the table as if intimidatingly.
“Ugh!”
Dorian turned around in bewilderment, but Raon was still calm.
[The test was to bring Drake’s claws, teeth, horns, and bones. Tell them I didn’t close the deal.]
This is not a lie. Addis definitely told him to bring Drake, but he didn’t say to sell it unconditionally.
“Sir, the test was to bring Drake’s bar, claws and teeth, horns and bones. Tell them you didn’t close the deal. Ouch!”
While talking, Dorian even spit out the unnecessary word ‘delivery’.
“Ouch… .”
Borgos looked up at Raon and shook his chin.
– What kind of secret slander are you?
Lars opened his mouth to see that.
– In that case, you guys sit in front!
