Chapter 127 Strongest Sage, Refused Transaction
"Wha . . . Whatever could these be?"
The guild employee at the purchasing counter sounded perplexed when he saw the materials we brought .
The materials we put on the counter are from second wave monsters and the lesser parts of Void Eater .
Bringing out the good ones right from the start would make the later assessment go south .
Since we're showing the mediocre ones instead of everything, it should be fine .
However, the assessment wasn't done immediately .
"I've never seen these materials before . . . Which floor's monsters did you get them from?"
Looks like he mistakenly thought that we got them from the dungeon .
Well, I guess it can't be helped since most of the materials circulating in this guild probably come from the dungeon .
"These aren't from the dungeon . They're from monsters that showed up in the plain . "
The Second Academy student went back to the capital once the monster outbreak was over .
Thus, the guild should have been contacted already . . . But apparently, this branch hasn't .
Well, if you exclude the Second Academy students, this guild's battle force leaves a lot to be desired, so it's probably postponed .
It's gonna be the main branch's responsibility anyway even if the guild needs to step in .
"Fumu . . . I'm not sure how to assess them since I've never seen these materials, but . . . Right then, let's use these . "
The guild employee brought two big magic tools from inside as he said that .
I'm not familiar with these magic tools . . . But judging from their mana ambiance, one is probably for measuring mana quantity and the other is for measuring hardness .
They don't seem to be of high performance .
One of the Void Eater's bones is getting measured first .
The guild employee puts the bone on the magic tool and operate it .
And then-- .

" . . . Wha?"
He sounded perplexed again .
Afterward he puts the bone on the hardness measuring tool, and operate it . . . and tells us while sounding sorry .
"Sorry . Our magic tools seem to have broken down . I'll get the replacement, if you'd please wait a moment . "
The employee went inside once again and came out bringing a magic tool with him .
"This is the newest magic tool that has just been adjusted today . We don't have to worry about breakdown with this . "
The guild employee, brimming with confidence, puts the bone on the magic tool .
And then he peeked on the result with a smile . . . And frowned .
"Huh? The value isn't any different from before . . . . "
"Then that means the magic tool is correct?"
Alma gave an exceedingly obvious answer to the guild employee .
However, the guild employee denied that .
"No, that can't be right . If this value is true then that means this bone is almost as hard as adamantite . "
Adamantite . . . Ah . That's about right .
Since the bone is hard and brittle, adamantite is actually higher in term of strength, but the hardness should be about the same .
"Not only that . The measured mana values of these materials . . . are even higher than the monsters spawning on floor 20!"
Yup . 'Course it's high .
Or rather, please don't liken this stuff with those .
" . . . I've got no choice but to check them manually . . . These materials might get some scratches but it should not affect their functionality . Is that alright with you?"
"I don't mind . "
With my consent, the guild employee took out a rod with a needle attached .
And then the employee pricked the bone with the tip of the needle--and broke it along with a sharp sound .
The bone itself doesn't have a scratch on it .
" . . . Wha?"
The employee looks at the broken needle, dumbfounded .
And then he sighs once and declares .
"Sorry . This guild cannot purchase these materials . We don't have the slightest idea of their value, in the first place, we don't even know how to process them . "
. . . I see .
In other words, they'll buy them if they can process them huh .
