I Summoned a Max Level Demon by Myself

Episode 38

I was directed to one of the guest rooms.

A room with an old-fashioned feel.

It smells like incense, but it smells faintly sweet.

‘It’s not my taste… … .’

I sat down on the sofa and Emily sat next to me, and the merchant handed me a catalog.

let’s wink

Emily lazily reached out to pick it up and hand it to me.

“Hmm… … . It seems to handle quite a few things.”

“How much do you know about this place?”

“Roughly.”

“Then I think you will know. It is the Marquis Milliquel who is in charge of this black market.”

As if boasting, he mentioned the mayor’s backyard.

There was nothing surprising. At least if you’re a guy with enough brains to set foot here, you won’t know the name.

Milliquel Marquis.

One of the empire’s magnates and a family that controls the flow of money in the dark world of the empire, including the black market.

An aristocrat called the Merchant of Death in the Empire.

“There is no product that cannot be handled under the name of Millikel Corporation.”

“Anything not in this catalog?”

“Of course, it takes a lot of money.”

“… … Yes, remember.”

He blurted it out as if he wasn’t interested in it, but merchant Malkin’s eyes were filled with strange anticipation.

‘Is it enough to give me easy money?’

I glance at Emily, and she gives a subtle smile as if agreeing.

That friend must have misunderstood.

You must have already figured out that you are a student at the academy.

But not all identities are known.

Although he is not aristocrat, he seems to have his own and flaunts it with a beautiful woman.

So you get the impression that you have some money.

‘I acted deliberately to misunderstand… … It’s a strange feeling to be passed over like that.’

It’s much better to look like a debauched youngster with some money on hand.

“First of all, what products would you like to introduce?”

“I want to see some materials first, including Pale’s poisonous weed… … . Unprocessed, of course.”

“You deal with pretty dangerous things.”

All items that are not handled by the civilian population according to Imperial law or are only allowed to be handled with processed products that have been detoxified.

However, they are all readily available on the black market.

‘ah… … . And another thing I needed.’

In my head, some of the recipes I saw during the game.

Most of them don’t remember exactly, but vaguely remember the list, but well, the details can be repeated later by trial and error.

“Next time, um… … . I would like to see if there are any suitable artifacts, but are there any good ones?”

“of course!”

Malkin’s eyes lit up.

stupid greed.

“Please look forward to it.”

He groaned and brought a few items from me to show.

Mainly items related to magic I want.

“This is a staff said to have been used by a notorious warlock 80 years ago. The goods of the criminals that His Majesty also trembles with were circulating in the shadows and came all the way here.”

Bring out a staff that is glossy black and show it to me.

“Are you referring to the black magician Biloche?”

“Of course you know! The terrifying black magician who broke the taboo and caused rebellion 80 years ago!”

The guy praises the greatness of things over and over again with the momentum to spit out of his mouth.

“Don’t you feel the chill before you even hold it? Apparently, the guest also deals with black magic, and I’m sure you’ll recognize it.”

“hmm… … .”

“There are even rumors that the material used by the devil was used.”

“oh?”

I sobbed and narrowed my eyes, and Emily tilted her head at the word that she used devil material.

Malkin’s eyes sparkled as if he had accepted that reaction.

Maybe he’s shouting, ‘I got the Hogu!’

“Can I try holding it?”

“Oh, of course, take care of it gently. Because it is such a precious antique, it would be difficult to scratch it.”

“It’s a flaw… … . It’s troublesome.”

I carefully carry the staff as he asks… … .

Grasping horns!

Kwadeuk!

He boldly grabbed it and swung the staff as it was, striking the guy in the face.

Fain!

“Home run~.”

“Quite the amount?!”

Malkin made a strange sound and rolled around.

I heard noisy footsteps outside, but I didn’t care, I threw down my staff and stepped on his chest.

“What, what are you doing… … .”

“I must have looked rather funny.”

The important thing is not to look belittled.

If the other person shows manners, I will accept it with my own attitude, but on the contrary, what if I try to see it as a hogu?

step on it like this

Kwap.

“Quaaa,”

“what? whose wand? 80 years ago? Just looking at it, it doesn’t look like it was made in less than a month.”

It’s fake.

In the first place, the treasured items of real black magicians are separate items. There is no way you can get your hands on it at this time.

“… … It’s absurd that it’s the devil’s material. Could this be a fight?”

Emily laughed, saying that she was also full of energy, and lightly kicked the cane I had thrown with her tiptoe.

“Devils are the bones of some low-level monsters. that.”

“Even at the gambling house, if you play around, your hands and feet get blown off, don’t you? I hope the same logic applies here.”

I smile menacingly and put my strength on the leg I am stepping on.

He struggles, but he can’t go against my strength.

“Hey?! sh*t, you made a mistake. customer!”

“You must have made a mistake.”

Even after the fraud was exposed, the reason why the merchant is still strong is because there is a corner to believe.

Of course, there’s no way a black market like this wouldn’t have had a watchman.

Immediately knowing that there was a commotion, someone broke into the room.

“hot! The sounds of a fight are heard! Who are you going to fight with!”

How are you?

Somewhat familiar sound and tone.

“… … Yang Fei?”

“… … draft?”

A freshman like me.

A mischievous martial artist who belongs to the Aura class and can’t stop fighting.

Was this guy hired as an escort on the black market?

Come to think of it, the members of the Yang count family were not only active in the empire’s sunny side.

In particular, their skills are most powerful in the world of the shadows.

Although it is common to take on assassinations and escorts.

“yes? Could it be that Xian must fight?”

The boy was also dumbfounded with his eyes wide open.

“Yeah, yes! Hurry up and drive this guest out! Aren’t you doing something wrong?”

“no… … That’s it.”

Yang Fei said, changing his exhilarated expression to one of embarrassment.

“I can’t beat this guy.”

“Are you kidding me?!”

Surprisingly, he’s a watchman with no professional spirit.

In the end, the situation had to be intervened by someone else.

Embarrassed Yang Fei told me to wait, then left, and another person came in as if taking turns.

It was probably a man who looked more like a merchant with a higher rank than this swindler.

A manager-level merchant who gave his name as Kelon.

“… … What is the fuss about?”

“I was in the middle of a commotion and I was impressed by your business skills. what a great place Trying to sell fake fakes to customers.”

nothing to be afraid of

I pointed to a walking stick rolling around on the floor.

“They said they were fake. Could this be the salesmanship of the renowned Millicell Company? It’s quite impressive, isn’t it?”

The most important thing for merchants is credit.

Even if it’s the back world, it’s no different.

A merchant named Kellon saw my tone and situation and his eyes changed as if he understood.

However, that cold expression is not directed at me, but at my feet.

“Clean up. Are other guests anxious?”

The troopers rush in and disappear with Malkin, who was trying to catch me.

“Looks like you’ve attached a guide that doesn’t suit the customer’s taste.”

“hmm… … . It doesn’t suit your eyes.”

I laughed lightly.

It’s not about apologizing.

If there’s a mistake, it’s that you did business with an unsuitable merchant?

Is it the logic that cheating is bad? I like it.

“Then what are you going to do? Will you attach a suitable guide?”

“Let it be.”

Maybe now I’ll attach someone to show me the proper stuff.

There’s nothing better than making a fuss about it.

It must be the proper line that doesn’t look shallow here.

After making that decision, I was about to allow him to join the next merchant.

“Looks like the idiot on our side has caused trouble?”

Someone interrupted.

Although obviously heterogeneous.

A seductive female voice that somehow seemed natural to be here.

“… … Miss Linell?”

“Looks like you’ve looked ugly, should I take over for you?”

Kellon gave a look of bewilderment.

“What are you talking about?”

“are you okay. I had a good time. The third daughter of Count Yang also said something funny about that guest. So, do you want me to talk?”

Snorting and ignoring Kellon’s warning, the woman walks in casually and sits down on a chair.

“How are you? customer?”

“It doesn’t matter who. As long as you don’t do stupid things like before.”

“Don’t worry. I’m not stupid enough to use my hands on discerning guests.”

“Well, there’s no way the owner of this market would do anything trivial.”

“Do you know me?”

The female merchant asked in surprise. I haven’t even introduced myself yet.

“They say there is only one female merchant on a street like this who can act as she pleases.”

Linell Milliquel.

The owner of this black market and the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Milliquel.

Milliquel Marquis.

A noble family that occupies numerous dark markets throughout the empire.

It is common for aristocratic families to run a merchant company with a decent amount of money, but the Marquis Milliquel took on the side that other nobles did not touch.

black market.

Assassination Guild.

In addition, it is a black family that accumulates wealth through the dark side of the empire that it dares to ignore.

And the family’s young eldest daughter, who showed amazing skills from a young age, is now in charge of the black market, which is also important to the family.

“It is an honor. I would have thought that the young talent of the empire would recognize it.”

“You know about me too.”

“You have to know about your guests in order to entertain them, right?”

It would be foolish to reject a prospective and discerning guest.

“Come to think of it, what about Yang Fei? Apparently he talked a little bit about me too.”

“If you are the third daughter of Count Yang, you have returned. They say they have no motivation because they are customers who don’t have to fight anyway.”

You ran away.

If something bothers you, did you step out first because it would be difficult to handle? was surprisingly weak.

“It’s arbitrary. Isn’t that guy hired here? Is it okay to be an escort?”

“I’m only a little acquainted with Count Yang’s family, so they let me stay here. Not even formal employment.”

In short, Yang Fei’s accommodation was here.

“So what interests you? I thought you would say that the child of the two counts couldn’t win from the start.”

“It must mean that you can’t hit them because they are classmates.”

I know it’s not, but I deliberately took off the pretense.

“Rather than that, I want to talk about things I want to buy.”

“Okay, what are you looking for?”

It’s a good opportunity.

Originally, through several visits, I tried to find a merchant who seemed to have a little authority and tried it.

If the owner came out, we could get to the point right away.

“I’m looking for an artifact called Xelferid’s Key.”

As soon as the name of the item was mentioned, Linel’s eyebrows furrowed.

It’s a shape that doesn’t come easily.

“wait. I think you’ve heard… … .”

Linell asked for a moment and began handing over a book with a list of products from a subordinate.

“Kselferid… … . ah!”

It means that it is a product that is not of interest to the extent that even the woman who is memorizing it cannot easily recall it.

“It’s a big deal. Do you want something like this?”

“It’s done. It’s a product to sell, isn’t it? Just say that.”

product or not. Are you selling or not? It’s enough just to hear it.

They are handling Xelferid’s key, but they don’t know its value.
