The Extra Will Now Leave The Stage - Chapter 45 – The Young Lady’s Spendthrift (2)

Chapter 45 – The Young Lady’s Spendthrift (2)

Translator: Lioness

Alice spent a whopping 80 gold coins on purchasing the teleport scroll. Before long the wizard, the tower that she wants the teleport scroll, the master of the tower needlessly didn’t put on shoes and bowed before her.

“Young Miss said she wants to buy a teleport scroll?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

His eyes sparkled as he took her hand in his own.

“Beloved customer!”

She felt his eyes glowing, now the Master of the Magic Tower know that she isn’t a pushover.

‘I can’t just let myself suffer.’

She had paid for the scroll, but she didn’t have to spend that much of money, so Alice’s eyes darkened. It was the moment when her sense as a merchant shined through.

“Then shall we haggle over the price?”

“Y, yes?”

When the bewildered Mage Master stuttered her words, Alice did not miss the opportunity.

“I heard that teleport scrolls aren’t selling much?”

“Who said that…”

“I heard that even high-ranking nobles are reluctant to purchase because records remain…”

“It’s not like that!”

“So, I heard you have a lot left in stock?”

“No.”

The Master of the Magic Tower felt cold sweat running down his back. The fact that a lot of teleport scrolls were left in stock was a secret even within the Mage Tower. But how did that young lady know?

“So, what is the price?”

“It’s 100 gold coins…”

“Yes? 100 gold coins?”

It was b*llsh*t. 100 gold coins were used by the lords of small and medium-sized cities for a year’s management expenses.

‘Why did he have to raise the price that much?’

If it was another aristocrat, he might have paid the price, but the opponent was Alice. Alice Hamilton, who has a knack for making money and has a natural talent for preventing wastage.

“That is very strange. Is it too expensive compared to the price of the magic tool I bought a while ago?”

“How long ago did you buy a magic tool?”

“Yes. This is the first time I’ve ever seen you in person, my lord. I’m Alice Hamilton.”

Alice smiled brightly and moved her head slightly. Her smile stunned him for a moment, and the Mage Master, who looked at her, came to his senses at Lawrence’s sharp eyes.

There was one name that came to mind of the mage lord. It was the name of the most important VVIP customer in the magic tower.

“You are Alice Hamilton?”

“That is my name.”

“The daughter of the Marquis of Hamilton. The one who busy every time the Magic Tower releases magic tools..”

The Magic Tower Master closed his mouth. Alice, who understood all the words that were about to come out, smiled brightly.

“So, 100 gold coins?”

“Oh, no, that’s not it…”

“It is strange. It’s very different from the scroll prices I know?”

Seeing Alice tilting her head, the top of the mage’s tower got terrified. If he hadn’t been wearing a robe, everyone would have noticed that he was sweating in embarrassment.

“Yes, I can’t sell it because of your status.”

Things like this couldn’t be sold anyway, so the magic tower master didn’t correct the price and just pushed on.

‘From now on, the price of a teleport scroll will always be 100 gold coins.’

The wizards who were watching from behind as the tower owner raised the price, clutched their hearts in excitement. The mage’s expression darkened as he traded magic tools with Alice. Because she knew how much she beat her price when it comes to her money.

“Lawrence, can we buy that teleport scroll?”

“No, we can’t.”

With Alice’s identity, it was impossible, but with Lawrence present, they couldn’t say they wouldn’t sell it. Lawrence, who was a magical swordsman and sometimes interacted with magical towers, thought the price was ridiculous.

“This is the Duke of Littenverk. Give me the teleport scroll.”

It wasn’t even a call to sell. The Mage’s brow narrowed when he said, “I’ll pay the price, so you guys should just give it up.” Alice whispered to him as he crumpled his face.

“I guess you gave up on selling magic tools other than teleport scrolls?”

“What do you mean?”

The Master, who understood Alice’s whisper, screamed. The profit from selling other magic tools was much greater than selling a single teleport scroll. She really have to speak like that.

The magic tower master trembled at the cool energy that brushed the nape of his neck. He was driven by the urge to close Alice’s slightly open lips.

“How many magic tools do you think are in stock from the Hamilton Marquess?”

“….”

The Mage Tower’s biggest customer was the Hamilton Marquis. They only bought magic tools, they didn’t sell them.

‘I thought I was just collecting magic tools like hobby.’

The owner of the Mage Tower only checked the income of the Mage Tower, so she did not know how tenaciously she cut her prices. Anyway, the magic tools of the Mage Tower were set at an extremely high price, and the wizards who sold them were allowed a slight price adjustment.

The magic tower master’s eyes changed when he realized that Alice, whom he thought was only buying because of hobby was more resourceful than he thought.

“Well, the teleport scroll is still worth that price, right?”

The Master hurriedly looked around. The wizards who came out to watch shook their heads vigorously at him. The mage who had made a deal with Alice shook it even more violently.

She was the kind of person who would ask you to give away the teleport scroll for free even if it was against his heart. Alice Hamilton. The wizard who knew that fact whispered magic to the mage lord.

‘Never mention a high price, Magic Lord. If we cheaply unpack the magic tools that the Hamilton family bought, we’ll be doomed!’

As the wizard’s words resonated in his head, the Mage Tower Master’s expression became serious. I thought it was just someone, so he raised the price, but a certain merchant came and cut the price.

“100 gold coins?”

“Come to think of it, I forgot that there is a special VVIP discount.”

Alice showed a deep smile towards the Mage Tower Master who took a step back. The Mage Tower Master, who became more anxious at her laughter, opened her mouth again.

“It’s 80 gold coins at a discount.”

“Forty gold coins.”

“What did you say?”

“Forty gold coins. I have no intention of giving more than that.”

Even the 80 gold coins that the Magic Tower Master called were a huge price. The teleport scroll costs 70 gold coins. Alice had purchased items from the Mage Tower until last month, knew exactly that.

Originally, she was going to buy it for that price, but as she looked at the situation, she just couldn’t get over it. She didn’t mind hitting other people, but she was Alice Hamilton.

‘Where are you trying to trick me?’

The mage lord touched the pride of Alice, who was the actual manager of the Hamilton Merchant and the one who propelled it to the top of the Empire.

If it had to be, he could have cut off the distribution route for the materials used to make magic tools he bought from the Mage Tower. It was unfortunate to lose a business partner, but the Mage Tower was also in the Nakran Empire.

“If you can’t pay that price, I’m going to go to the Nakran Empire anyway, and I’m going to make a deal with the Mage Tower there….”

“I’ll give it to you!”

The Mage Master of the Erha Empire shouted. The rumor that the relationship between the Mage Master of the Nakran Empire and the Mage Master of the Erha Empire was not true.

In particular, the two were frantic to bring new magic tools developed by each other to the Hamilton family and sell them. Because the only place that recognized the value of magic tools and paid for them was Hamilton Family.

‘If the deal with the Hamiltons’ is cut off here, we’ll just have to suck our fingers.’

Among the aristocracy of the Erha Empire, the Hamiltons’ were the only ones who could afford to buy tools. No matter how much money they had. The other nobles bought cheap tools and were unable to provide the materials that the Magic Tower wanted.

‘Especially, perfume raw materials.’

The Hamilton family’s perfume, which was so secret that it was impossible to know how to mix it, was one of the main sources of income for the Magic Tower. Magic tools filled with fragrance were a necessity for nobles.

Unlike perfume that was used in a bottle, it was always portable, so the demand of nobles exploded. However, if the product was released at the top of Hamilton, the Magic Tower’s profits would inevitably decrease.

“Can I get it for 40 gold coins? It’s worth it.”

“No, please visit us anytime.”

‘Never, never come again!’

He didn’t know what Alice Hamilton that did it was hard to deal with her in person. He swallowed back his tears for the sake of future trades.

If she wasn’t hearing that god’s voice in the Erha empire, she wouldn’t go to Nakran Empire. She also didn’t have any reason to lower the price of the teleport scroll.

It also helped that the person next to her was Lawrence Littenverk. He is from the Nakran Empire, not from the Erha Empire. Now that it has been confirmed that the escape of love for the two is true, of course, she have no choice but to save herself more.

“I will give you 40 gold coins. Where should I set the coordinates?”

“The capital of Nakran, Vakunauro.”

“All right.”

The Mage Master entered the Mage Tower holding her teleport scroll. The wizards who looked at Alice and Lawrence with curious eyes, who still did not leave their seats. Lawrence said in a small voice to Alice who laughed at them.

“Aren’t you spending too much money?”

“This much?”
