The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 64 - Elin's
Everyone was happy to see the notification of the inauguration of Dungeon Barrack and also the EXP acquisition Buff it provided. I also smiled very broadly imagining my level rising by leaps and bounds. But there seems to be one unhappy person.
A blue magic circle appeared before all of us. Behind the light that gently bandaged her, two beautiful girls appeared. Alice and Elin.
“Eric! What are you doing here! Come quickly with me!” Shouted Elin loudly while pulling my body.
“E-Elin?! Why you..”.
“It's quiet, Eric! Alice, please escort us back to Dungeon Origin.” Shouted Elin asking Alice to deliver her.
“If you want to...” Once again, not yet able to finish my words, Elin cut them off as fast as lightning.
“Shut!”
‘Why is he like this?’ I thought in my heart. Chris and Neo who saw Elin's behavior put on an annoyed face. But they don't seem so surprised. It was as if they had guessed that this would happen.
Me and Elin immediately moved to the Origin Dungeon.
The scenery makes me miss having left this place for a few days Re: Life time.
‘Plaaaak!!’
But as fast as lightning, Elin's slap landed on my face.
“Hah?! What are you doing, Elin?!” My screams received his slap.
“I told you not to work with Chris, right?! Why are you ignoring my words?! Even create a new Dungeon in the Chris region?!” Shouted Elin with an annoyed face and eyes that glared at me quite sharply.
“What's really why? Don't you know for yourself that Dungeon Origin is in a pretty dangerous condition? If I work with Chris, then at least I can evacuate the monster higher-ups to Chris Dungeon! The monster higher-ups also already knew how to use that magic circle!” I shouted at Elin.
“K-you!!! Since when do I allow you to act as you please?! You know that it could harm this Dungeon?! After all, Chris was just using you too right?! Why would you want..”.
This time, before Elin finished her words I quickly cut her off.
“Didn't you just use me, Elin?” I said with this look.
Yeah, I knew from the beginning. I know if he's just using me. Split a 50:50 profit between me and Elin? A fair exchange? What the fuck?
Indeed, at first I did not know how to utilize this skill well, but that does not mean I will never realize to create a monster kingdom! Even before Elin's arrival, I also knew that I could arm them with other equipment.
Not far from it I would also realize that utilizing them as miners and meeting their food needs could be done.
Even without Elin, Chris and Neo would have been looking for me. Yes, they will definitely look for monster taming demons to help with the crisis on their kingdom. It's true that I wouldn't have a great Mana if I didn't cooperate with Elin. But Luna's Magic Device would also solve that problem.
If Neo understands my Mana's great need, he will definitely ask Chris to find me an item to improve Mana.
Then why do I always survive until now when I know Elin is just using me?
Of course because I like him. Specially? I was happy to look at her sweet figure from a distance. That's what keeps me sane while taking care of my sister's medical expenses. Elin also seemed to know my feelings and was able to make good use of them.
Yeah, he's just using me. I'm sure it is. The real reason I can't work with Chris is that I can understand the situation. Yes, Elin does not want any other Player to support me other than herself so Elin can continue to put her shackles on me.
But I was curious.... What's the reason for doing all this?
“E-Eric…. What do you mean by that?” Elin asked with an expression she had never shown me. A shocked expression filled with fear.
But not a word came out of it. Elin just lowered her head.
“If that simple sentence is incomprehensible to your intelligent brain, then I will detail Elin.” Saying to him.
“Auction Markets. A market that sells goods with an auction system. The seller can determine the initial price of an item. After that, buyers will scramble by increasing the purchase price from the initial price. As a simple example is the Cursed Mithril Blade which opens at a price..” I clearly.
But I haven't finished my words yet, Elin leaned her body on me. There was heavy breathing and sobs covered by her hair. Behind all that, a soft voice sounded along with his cries.
“Eric…. You know I didn't mean to do it?” Clearly in a very slow voice. Slowly his hands began to try to hold me. But I got away from him immediately.
“Your trick won't work again for the third time, Elin. I already know everything.” I replied while moving away from Elin.
How would I know? Certainly not for my own efforts, but for my sister. Auction Market can also be accessed through the official Re:Life website in the real world. Allows the Player who is not in the game to install the price. So is the history of buying and selling that has ever been done.
Rina looked at the history of selling the item after I told her about my cooperation with Elin. Armed only with the name of the item maker, Tasmith, Rina was able to find all the item transactions that had been done.
The outcome?
Each one-handed sword-making by Tasmith required 3,000 more gold coins to purchase the required Mithril. According to Elin's explanation, the profit was about 7,000 gold coins. But the truth is far from that.
Rina asked me how the profit was in the morning before she left for school. After finding out something strange, he shared with me the print out of the sales history of all Tasmith-made items. Of course I can access it directly on the official Re:Life website to confirm the truth.
Each Cursed Unique-level Mithril Blade sold, had a final value of at least 32,000 gold coins. It is true that Elin set an initial price of 10,000 gold coins, but he never told me about the advantages of the profits obtained by me.
Seeing that, I was honestly quite angry. I entrusted everything to Elin because I thought she was a trustworthy person. He also knows how to use the situation well. So I figured if Elin did it, then I'd make a bigger profit.
After that, Lina just gave a few simple sentences to me.
“Sister, forget about the imposter girl. Later I will order Re:Life capsules with your account, brother. After that I'll be sister's advisor at least in my spare time. Can ya?” Said Rina to me. I nodded my head immediately without saying.
Even though I was stupid enough, but I wasn't that stupid to be unable to understand this simple difference in numbers. 10,000 and 32,000. On top of that, Elin still took another 3,000 gold coins to show that she had only taken half of it.
Come to think of it, all sales of production are always done by Elin. He never allowed me to come out for reasons like ‘you will be captured by foe’ or ‘I will be able to move faster.’
To be honest, I still trust him. No. gabe…. I want to believe him. But I never thought that Elin would do such a lowly thing to me. I've considered him my own partner. But these?
“Didn't you have gained enough profit from me? Or is it less?” I asked Elin in a cynical tone.
“Eric…. I'm begging…. I'm sorry..” She said while covering her little face.
