Chapter 74 Negotiation
Part 2
Arnold Hale couldn’t decide what to do with this unexpected party.
It is the opponent I have a grudge against because they crushed us at the bar on the first day.
I suppress the feeling of anger that is boiling. In any case, the woman who raised her hand on Arnold wasn’t here. Even if I went and crushed all the people in here, I wouldn’t feel better.
As Arnold was silent, the other members who wanted to say something can’t say anything.
Everyone seems to have something to say but now is the time to keep it in.
As usual, “Infinite Variety” is a perplexing man.
In front of Arnold, he has a calm expression. His body is slender for a Hunter and he also lacks muscles. He doesn’t look strong at all. He is a man with delicate feature. He doesn’t have a weapon on him, but he has necklaces, earrings and rings on each finger...
So, his profession isn’t a close-combat one?? No matter how much we looked into it, we couldn’t find out what was the fighting style of “Infinite Variety”.
Whatever it is, he had launched hostilities against someone with a Level 7 just the other day and is now calmly seating here, he isn’t probably anyone ordinary.
And on the contrary, the woman he brought next to him is emitting a quiet energy. Her facial features, hair and eye color are similar to the “Absolute Shadow” who crushed Arnold and his friends. If the other one was 『Movement』 then this one is 『Silence』.
Her appearance is smooth, and she doesn’t have any scratches or burn on her white skin. Every one of her moves was graceful but at the same time there was no opening.
Although it is concealed, if you look closely, you can see that the energy hidden in her isn’t so much different from the “Severed Shadow”.
Arnold has uncovered her concealment because her concealment is weaker than Infinite Variety’s one.
A member of Strange Grief. There is no doubt that she is categorize as one of the strong.
I lick my lips.
However, now Arnold’s position is higher than them.
There are some people who are saying that they would like to negotiate and buy the Relic we deposited.
When we received such report, I thought that it was someone who love weird thing, but I would have never thought that it was “Strange Grief”.
“That is an item we worked hard to discover it. However, we still don’t know its effect. If you think we are going to sell powerful Relic for dirt cheap then it isn’t something we can allow it to happen. Throwing it will be better.”
I say it in the case that the mask can’t be appraised.
There are roughly two types of methods to appraise Relics. One method is based on information they have accumulated and the other is to try and activate it.
If it can’t be appraised with the former method, the latter method is to wear it, but the appraiser is also human. It is obvious that this dangerous Relics will be returned when it can’t be appraised. In fact, that mask has been send back multiple times in Nebranubes.
Arnold and his friends brought the Relic to an appraiser who have worked for decade and is famous for his skills in the Imperial Capital. If that man can’t appraise it, then no one in the city could appraise it.
If that happens, that mask can only be sold for collection purposes.
“We can’t even fathom the Relic’s power. If this keep going on, we can’t put a price on it. Can you tell us what kind of power it has?”
It was just a little provocation.
Information makes money. There is no one who will obediently explain everything just because he was asks to. However, it could be one of the factors to raise the price of it.
Sytry who is next to him raises her eyebrow as if she was flabbergasted.
Then, “Infinite Variety” who is next to her responded with a serious face.
“It is something... That I can’t say.”
“Funn...”
His answer is as expected. When Arnold wanted to scream and tried to complain, “Infinite Variety” made a smile as if he was troubled and says something unexpected.
“But if there is one thing, I can say... If my predictions are correct then, that, is a bit dangerous. Even this country’s laws prohibit its utilization. It is better to quickly get rid of it. “
TL notes:
Thx for reading!
Sorry couldn’t post it yesterday but I played way too much Valorant Competitive Mode and didn’t translate!
And we already have some misunderstanding with Cry’s power Level! XD
Yeah is just concealing his strength sooooo well that if he fights against a slime he will run away! Just to not show his strength. What he is running away because he is afraid? Pffff that’s just to trick your mind XD
And Cry do you really think that they will just sell it to you because you said that XD
Tchao à plus!
Absolute Shadow: Changed Severed Shadow to Absolute Shadow because of Danmachi.
