Chapter 1042: Rewards of trading
After talking with Isra for a bit, she finally left us alone as she went off to the stall of her own tribe.
The Vale Tribe had sent them because there were some things that needed to be traded, so she had some things to take care of.
It was a good thing that she was distracted or else I really wouldn’t have been able to get away from her.
I could see that Alidus was thinking the same thing as he also let out a sigh of relief when he saw Isra leaving.
Once we were freed, we went over to the stall that had been set up by Klein and the others. They had been trading with the other giants the entire time, so they should have reaped quite a few rewards.
But it turned out that we hadn’t even been able to sell everything that we had.
It wasn’t because the giants didn’t want to buy them, it was simply because the giants weren’t able to afford them. However, that also wasn’t because the giants were poor, it was just that they put a high price on these items. The price that they put on them was even higher than the price that we wanted to put, so we couldn’t just bring it down after they gave their price.
As such, they didn’t have enough money to buy everything that we wanted to sell.
It was a good thing that this giant market would last several days, so there was no problem in selling these things later.
The giants that came to the market would return to their tribes every night since the market wasn’t that far away for them. A round trip wouldn’t even take half a day, so it was no problem for them to commute back and forth from their tribes.
Though if this was in the human territory, the trek would take at least a week.
That was just the difference between humans and giants.
After going back to their tribes, they would be able to get more money and buy the things that we had to sell.
So there was no need to worry that we wouldn’t be able to sell everything.
As for the items that we had obtained from selling these items that we brought, they really were quite the haul.
Since the giants didn’t have a currency, they traded items for the items that they wanted.
The things that the giants traded were all things that couldn’t be obtained in the human territory or would be hard to obtain in the human territory. These were things that could only be obtained by the giants, but were regarded as normal goods for them.
In fact, some of them had even felt bad about trading these things when they offered it for our goods.
It was similar to how the mermaids viewed pearls as worthless.
Only the things that the giants saw as worthless would be considered priceless among humans because there was no source for it.
These were things like high quality leathers, high quality monster bones, and all kinds of other high quality monster materials.
At the same time, there were ores and herbs that couldn’t be found in the human territory since it required a large amount of mana to grow. It was only in a place like the giants’ territory with all these monsters that naturally exuded mana that these things could appear. That was why these things were all considered very rare.
In fact, it could almost be considered us taking advantage of the giants by trading simple art for these precious items. Or at least that was from the point of view of a human.
“Your majesty, if we can continue these trades…”
One of the prime minister’s assistants said this in an excited voice, but I didn’t need him to tell me this.
What they didn’t know was that I could analyze these goods even better than them since I had my knowledge from the game.
I knew just how much these things were worth, but it wasn’t as if trading between territories was a thing that was done in the game since there was instant teleportation through warp points. If that was allowed, then the entire economy of the game would have been ruined.
Still, now that the game had become a real world and there were no longer warp points, we were able to sell things back and forth between different countries. If these items were sold to other human countries, then there was no doubt that we would earn a huge profit.
Even if we didn’t sell them, we would still have a use for them since there was a reason why these items were so sought after.
They could be used to make different items and we had some of the best craftsmen in the entire world since there were dwarves in my former territory.
As such, it would be extremely beneficial for us to keep up this trade.
“There’s still tomorrow to look forward to. Don’t lose yourself because of these short term gains.” I said in a serious voice.
The assistant was caught off guard when he heard this, but he quickly nodded in agreement before looking at me with a look of admiration.
The others had heard this as well and also looked at me in admiration.
But these weren’t just empty words.
There was a reason why I said these words in the first place, it was related to the knowledge that I had from the game.
I knew that there were more amazing things that the giants possessed, so it all depended on what they would bring back after reporting this to their tribes. It would all depend on how much they wanted the things that we were trading.
Since the market was over for the day, we headed back to the Harakka Tribe.
There was still something that I wanted to do with the Great Wolf cubs that were there.
