Chapter 71: Carpenter and logging quest

Chapter 71: Carpenter and logging quest

We found a carpenter's store and as we entered the store, we saw many processed boards. I've seen a lot of wood in the forest, but this space with the smell of processed wood is different and I like it a lot.

"Welcome. What can I get for you?"

The sales clerk, an old lady, called out to me. Well, it seems there is no word for renovation. I'll have to explain the situation.

"The store I'm going to live in is falling apart. Is it possible to renovate the floor and stairs?"

"Of course we can. It's cheaper than building a whole house, but it's quite expensive"

"How much would it cost?"

"How much? The price varies depending on the size of the house and the materials used, but I'd say 500,000"

That's a lot! No, it's cheaper in reality.

"Is there a particular material you're looking for?"

"I was thinking of hinoki cypress or japanese cedar if possible"The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

"I see. You're not an amateur, are you?"

No, I'm an amateur. Grandma. Well, I've renovated Kayo's house before and at that time the carpenter liked me, so I've heard a little about it.

"Why do you think so?"

"You answered without hesitation. And the way you looked at me when you were looking around the store, you had the eyes of a craftsman"

Did I have that look? No, it's true that I was looking for a good board, but...

"I've been looking for a good board, but I've only learned a few things from a expert"

"Well, you wouldn't have come to me for a commission if you didn't. If you don't have enough money, are you willing to take a request?

Info flows when Grandma says that.

The request quest Carpenter Grandma's Requesthas occurred

Quest Carpenter Grandma's Request

Reward: A reduction in the carpenter's work

Description: Lumbering Japanese cypress

I see. If you get the cypress, you'll get a reduction.

"How much money will it be?"

"That's right...I'll give you 5,000G for five whole cypresses"

That's a whole lot cheaper. That's scary.

"Are you sure you're okay with such a low price?"

"Oh? Don't underestimate the price of wood. Cutting down a tree costs ones life"

Eh? Your life depends on it? No, it's a dangerous job, but I'm starting to get worried.

"So, what are you going to do?"

It's obvious. There's no way out.

"I'll accept it"

"You're right. I'll lend you this axe, just in case. You'll need it to cut down the trees"

I don't have the logging skill, though. Hahaha.

"After that, you can get japanese cypress in Trent Forest at the end of the east road. So please take care of it"

Hmm? Isn't Trent the name of a tree monster? I have a really bad feeling about this, but I have to do it!

"So, let's go to Trent Forest to fix the house"

"That's great, but how are we going to cut down the trees?"

"I've gotten trees from Lily's attacks before, so hopefully that's how we'll get them, but if not, I'll have to get the logging skill"

When I say that, Lily gets excited, but looking at her, I have a feeling it's not going to happen.

For now, we'll start by gathering information. The first place we went was the library. It's the capital of the country, after all and the scale is different. Anyway, it was huge. I was at a loss as to how to find the books, but there was a terminal and when I searched, the books were transferred to my hand. I was impressed by the convenience, but what was the point of the first library?

However, there was no vital information. I think this is because my reading skill level is too low or it's a specification that no information is available in uncharted areas. In other words, I had no choice but to give up.

Next, we went to the Adventurer's Guild. It's huge and many of the NPCs are summoners. I accept a few quests.
