A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War! - Chapter 85: (1)

The words of the appraiser left Marien and Marlon with surprised expressions, but they didn’t show it on their faces. The most surprised person was Kaiyan.

“Ancient artifact? A 50G item?” Kaiyan glanced at Rieka as if questioning the truth of it.

[What? To my knowledge, transparent masks are items made in the Isiria dimension! It’s not a product from the Eunasia continent!]

Kaiyan was curious about this Isiria dimension that came out of Rieka’s mouth, but he put his curiosity aside and looked at Marien.

“Is the appraisal accurate?”

“Well, that’s… please wait for a moment. It’s difficult to determine the price for an ancient artifact.”

After all, just because it’s called an ancient artifact doesn’t mean it’s valuable.

For example, in the warehouse of Lucuba Merchants, there were items worth 1500G and 500G being stored at ridiculously low prices.

Marien, who had been talking quietly with the appraiser for a while, turned her head towards Kaiyan.

“Kaiyan, did you know that this item is an ancient artifact?”

“No, I just found out today.”

[Kaiyan, why are you lying? That’s not an ancient artifact!]

‘Rieka, it’s an opportunity.’

Kaiyan patted Rieka’s head as if asking why she was like this while looking at her with a raised eyebrow.

“Well… based on our appraisal results, we believe this mask is definitely an ancient artifact. And we’ve confirmed that the mask’s function is the same as what you mentioned, Kaiyan.”

“Then…”

“Yes, we will purchase this item. And we will elevate your status to an honored customer, Kaiyan.”

“Then, can I see the items that Marlon mentioned, the ones of higher grade?”

“Of course. And as for the price of this artifact…”

After looking at Kaiyan’s face and the mask, Marien opened her mouth decisively.

“How about 5000 gold?”

“What?”

“…then I’ll offer 5500 gold. Please understand that I can’t go any higher.”

“…”

Kaiyan just said ‘What’ once, and the price went up by 500 gold. What’s even more surprising is that they offered 5,000 gold for an item that was originally worth 50G.

“…Alright, I will sell it for 5500 gold.”

[Scammer! Kaiyan is a scammer!]

Ignoring Rieka, who was tapping Kaiyan with her short front legs, Kaiyan shook hands with Marien.

“Then please wait for a moment.”

Marien and the appraiser left with the transparent mask, and the merchant, Marlon, approached with an ecstatic face.

“Thank you! Kaiyan, thank you so much!”

“Well… is there really anything to be thankful for? I just sold it for money.”

“That’s… thanks to you selling this unusual item, it greatly helped my performance! Thank you so much!”

“Well then… could you bring a glass of water?”

“What? Oh, yes! Please wait for a moment!”

Seeing Marlon rushing out, Kaiyan understood why people loved money.

Nobles must always feel like this.

[Kaiyan! Isn’t that too much?]

“Why, Rieka.”

[No matter how you look at it… selling something worth 50G for 5500 gold!]

“I didn’t say anything. I didn’t lie; they themselves decided it was an ancient artifact and offered 5500 gold.”

Kaiyan’s sin was his silence.

Lucuba Merchants appraised the item, determined it was an ancient artifact, and offered Kaiyan 5500 gold for it. However, there was no need to say, “Actually, it’s just a 50G item, so you only need to offer about 100 gold.”

[That’s true, but…]

“We can use this money to buy good things. Shiny things that Rieka likes.”

“Okay! But let’s leave it at 100 times for next time!”

“100 times… alright.”

Even if Kaiyan were called a scammer, there was nothing he could say. When Kaiyan thought about it, Marien and Marlon returned.

Marien was holding a fancy glass, and Marien had a small pouch…

“Why is it so small?”

With 5500 gold, it should have a considerable volume.

As Kaiyan alternately looked at Marien and the pouch in her hand, she seemed to understand Kaiyan’s question and handed Kaiyan the pouch.

“Ah, this is a pouch enchanted with spatial expansion. It’s an item that’s being sold for 300 gold at our store.”

“I see.”

[Oh, that! It’s a similar artifact to my ring! Hehe! My ring is better, though!]

Kaiyan wondered what function the yellow ring had that made Reika like it so much, only to find out it was an artifact enchanted with spatial expansion magic. What was a bit strange was that it was a ring, not a pouch, but it had been enchanted with expansion magic.

“We’ll give you this pouch as a gift. Please take it. It shouldn’t be too heavy.”

When Kaiyan accepted the pouch Marien handed over, it felt surprisingly light, to the point where he couldn’t imagine it contained 5500 gold.

“There’s also a weight-reducing spell on this pouch, so please don’t misunderstand.”

“I see. More importantly, when can I see those special items?”

“It’s possible right now, but… you need to confirm the money first.”

“That’s fine.”

“Really? Well, in that case, follow Marlon, and he’ll guide you.”

Marien looked at Kaiyan with a very surprised expression, not even bothering to confirm the substantial sum of 5500 gold. From Kaiyan’s perspective, even if there were only 500 gold in this pouch, he would have been satisfied enough not to need confirmation.

Kaiyan got up from his seat, took a refreshing sip of the water that Marlon had brought, and then followed him outside. This time, Marlon led him to a more secluded area.

“How big is this place, exactly? It’s incredible that there’s something like this under the city.”

Even from the central square to here, it was incredibly spacious, almost like there was another underground city beneath Havinel.
