However, since this is supposed to be a nightgown worn only during the night hours, this should not be too much of a problem.
When we finished our visit to the clothing store, we made our way towards our next destination: Quratar Merchants Guild. As I stopped by the entrance, a man different form the one I saw yesterday walked up to me and began chatting me up.
Good day to you, sir. What is your business with the Merchants Guild today?
I would like to inquire about the auctions for a little bit, if it is not a problem of course.
The name is Luke, and I am one of the brokers who acts as a middleman for those eager to participate in the auctions. If t is all right with you, sir, I will gladly hear and answer any questions that you might have.

Oh, quite conveniently for us, this guy is an Armor Merchant. Could it be that he is still so young because his level is low?
As for the Armor Merchant Job itself, I do not have it personally, and judging by its name it is rather obvious that it is aquired through the means of buying and selling armor for yourself. Who knows, as long as I keep doing that and increase the level of my Merchant Job, maybe one day I will get may hands on it as well?
No, of course not. If you did not make a deal with him, then that means that it was he who failed to appeal to a potential customer, so you have nothing to worry about.
I thought that my refusal to accept Laurels proposal yesterday might end up in considerably racking up the difficulty of finding out a potential replacement for him, but thankfully it does not look like it is going to be as difficult as I have initially thought. Well then, let me see what this guy will have to offer, and if I do not like it, I will simply refuse him just like I did with the other guy yesterday.
Okay, in that case, I see no problems in talking with you.
Wonderful. Now, if I am to begin my explanation about auctions in more detail, can you please tell me which kind of auctions interests you the most, sir?
Both buying and selling auctions, since I know nothing about either of them.
When it comes to buying, it is possible for you to take care of everything by yourself, but in the most cases, potential clients tend to go about it be cooperating with broker and middleman like myself, or Laurel, whom you have met yesterday. And that brings us to another important question: what kind of goods do you want to buy, sir?
Since I displayed interest in buying things through auctions, Luke the Broker jumped at the opportunity that would allow his to earn some money off of me, as expected.
Even a complete beginner should know that if you know next to nothing about things like that, then managing and keeping an eye on the auctions is going to be impossible for a complete layman, and that is why brokers and middleman existed in the first place. With their assistance, the process of taking part in an auction is not going to be as puzzlingly perilous as it would have normally been.
Kobold Skill Crystal.
Just like with Laurel yesterday, I decided to be open about what I needed. Lying about it now would not help me in the slightest.
Kobold Skill Crystals? I see. The day before yesterday, one of them was sold for five thousand two hundred Nars, and two days ago another one was sold for five thousand four hundred Nars. As for the bidding of the current auctions, it would seem that its current price once again averages at around five thousand two hundred Nars. I am not going to lie, the price is already expensive, but if you want to obtain it during the current auction and be willing to invest a sum bigger than that, I could arrange to enter you as another bidder with the same price as the one from the day before yesterday: five thousand four hundred Nars.
Luke the Broker replied without even looking at any kind of memos. Just from that action alone, I could say that he is an excellent middleman, or at the very least a better one than Laurel the Sex Maniac. If he would really arrange it for me to become a bidder in the current auction and I managed to win it, that would snatch me the Kobold Skill Crystal that Sherry could infuse into a weapon in the same manner as
she did with the Rabbit Skill Crystal and the Copper Sword.
