Manipulations
Chapters 24. Buying a map of the world.
"This is the place?" Ask Velly.
"So, I hope so" replied Lily.
Alpha is currently in front of a store that Zeen is targeting. The store is small like a regular house rather than a store.
"Let's go in" said Velly.
Alpha and others enter into and in the dark less illumination. This was because this shop only had one window, it was also full of dust.
"Hello... Is anyone here?" Said Alpha.
"Like no one here, are we fooled by Zeen?" Mai said.
"You're right like that, I'm looking for Zeen again and I hit him in the head with my shield" Lily said.
*private*
The girls were shocked by the sound.
"What was that noise? A ghost? Let's go out" Mai said while hiding behind Alice.
"Ah, sorry, that voice was from me" said Alpha.
"Alpha, what are you doing? you want to scare us?" Ask Velly.
"What am I doing to scare you? Here you see, I found someone here" Alpha said.
The girls approach Alpha and see the person Alpha refers to. The person was asleep on the floor, fortunately the floor was made of wood not directly from the ground.
"Is he the owner of this shop?" Ask Lily.
"Is he dead?" Ask Mai.
"Where is it, try to get up" replied Alpha.
Alpha also shook the person suddenly, the person woke up and immediately took a rifle beside him. The rifle, aimed right in front of Alpha's eyes.
"Who are you?" Ask that guy.
"Eh, yeah... You could say we were customers, we wanted to buy something" Alpha said.
"Prove to you customers"
"Evidence? What do I have to prove?"
"Where do I know, the important thing is to prove it"
If you don't know what else I am! Really woi! inner Alpha.
"Woi, you guys, please give him something to prove" Alpha said to the girls.
But when Alpha looked back.
"Much away! What are you guys doing! Quickly give him something!" Strike Alpha and the girls pretend not to see Alpha.
"Woi, look where are you? Shall I really shoot this?" Ask the guy who pointed a gun at Alpha.
Before he returned to the man, Alpha took the money Zeen loved from his pocket.
"That's proof, I want to buy something from your store said Alpha.
"Oh. That's it, say from the beginning dong, if you want to buy something"
The feeling I've already told you woi Inner Alpha.
The man walked over and started to turn on the lights and the entire store was beginning to look.
"Is there a lamp in the world?" Ask Lily.
"It's okay, but it has not spread all over the world, it only exists in this mid Lown country' explained the shopkeeper.
"Eh... I guess still pack torches, why don't you just turn on the lights from the beginning?" Ask Lily again.
"Yes... Because it's more dark"
I thought it was because of Alpha's inner electricity costs and everything else.
"Oh yeah, sorry for what I did ... Introduce me, my name is Tiom, I'm the owner of this supply store, what do you need?"
"We were wrong, too, for disturbing my father's nap" Velly said.
"Body sleep? No-no, it's my bedtime now" Tiom replied.
"Eh, what? I didn't hear wrong, did I?' word Alpha.
"Yes... Actually, my store is currently closed, not later if it is eight o'clock at night" explained Tiom.
"Son... You're not an adventurer, are you?"
"Eh? ka-we"
"Seeing from your reaction, you are indeed not adventurers"
There's no answer at all, because it's true. The other moment in silence, Mai with curiosity.
"What happened to the adventurers? What does it have to do with you opening a night-time shop?" Ask Mai.
"Heh, I was just kidding, it was true anyway" said Tiom.
"Well, we're not adventurers, so tell me!" Mai Shouts.
"The adventurers are yes, son, When the morning they just slept, During the day they were still sleeping, in the afternoon they woke up and immediately completed at least one quest one day. Once they are done and earn money, they will buy equipment or repair damaged equipment. If there were no problems with the equipment, they would be in the bar, drinking until the morning.
"Because of that, I open a shop at night ... Since this shop of mine is a supply store, no one else has come but the adventurers" Tiom explained.
It sounds like the burden of the Alpha and other inner families.
"Directly, Do you have a map of the world?" Ask Alpha.
"Oh... There kok ... Choose, I have three variants" Tiom said.
Alpha looks at three maps shown by Tiom, one map is similar to the map that Zeen has and the second, is only a black and white map but there is a description of the names of cities around the world. The difference between the two maps is black and white, the other there is a boundary between the state and the other there is no boundary between the state.
Velly approached Alpha "Which do you think is better?" Ask Alpha.
"Emmm... Guys, can you come closer" said Velly.
Alice, Lily, and Mai, come closer.
"Why not choose something like Zeen, it looks better if it's colored" Lily said.
"No, it's better this one alone, though it's black and white, but there's a dependency on cities we don't know yet and there's rice between countries as well" Alice said.
"Emmm... According to me, the color is yes, pleasing to the eye and easy to understand, I'm a fool who doesn't really understand the map" Mai's opinion.
"That heard? It's better colored" Lily said to Alice.
"Huh, I told you this one was just ... Maybe at this time you do not really understand it, but for a long time also will get used to it" Alice is still firm with her opinion.
"No, color is prettier" Lily said.
"Black white, more useful" said Alice.
"Colorful" Lily.
"Black white" Alice.
"Significantly colored" Lily.
"Can't, black and white" Alice.
"Friends, don't fight ... Alpha, what's your decision?" Said Velly trying to calm things down.
The end of the decision in my hand is the inner Alpha.
Alpha is confused between colored or black and white, as each has its advantages. Instead of dizzy to decide from his superiority, Alpha also took the decision to buy from the price.
"How much is this?" Alpha said while pointing at the colored one.
"Oh, that one ... Only 3,000,000 Yor" Tiom replied.
"Ti-three million? Whats! you want to fool us for being a rookie!" Said Alpha.
"What am I supposed to do to eat such illicit money! This is indeed the corresponding price of my previous model ... You think making a map is just a wishful painting? The person who made this map, had to travel the world first.
"You think the pinky of the world is delicious? Not to mention having to simulate the shape of this world into a picture that can be seen from above ... Creating a map is not that easy as it is" Tiom said.
In the middle ages, too, maps were a very expensive item ... If the current era mah, buy in the market already exists, the price is quite affordable, only Rp10,000 Inner Alpha.
"This one?" alphas asked while pointing at the black and white map.
Black and white is cheaper, right? I have 1,015,000 Yor, a million I got from Zeen earlier and 15 thousand from the Alpha inner jelly slime seller.
"Oh, if that one, it costs a little more, only 3,500,000 Yor"
"What's? What the Fu*k ... Why more even!? It's just black and white!?" Shown Alpha.
"Why do you ask like that, is not it obvious ... It's color, but there's no information at all, just on the borders of the country, you think it's an obscure map ... But if this one, this is black and white, but you are given complete information about the cities.
"The open is more useful if we want to visit a city that we have never visited before. Yes, the real factor that makes it expensive anyway, because the manufacturing process is more difficult" explained Tiom.
That's right woi Inner Alpha.
