Mycenae tried her best to look pitiful as her eyes watered.  She gave a request to Artpe.  In truth, her main objective hadn’t been the Basilisk Venom Powder.  She was here for the treasure box.

“W...will you sell the content of this box to me?”

“I’ll make the decision after seeing what’s in it.”

Artpe gave a cold reply.  Moreover, his gaze was cold too.  He was silently pressuring her.  It was as if he was trying to tell her to quickly move her heavy body to the side!  Mycenae’s stunning beauty was on the same level as a pebble rolling around in the streets.  It held no meaning to him!

“Kook…..  This is the first time I’ve suffered such humiliations since I started working for the Anywhere company…..”

“Wow!  It’s a treasure chest!”

An old pair of wood framed glasses and a pair of black leather boots appeared from within the treasure box.  Mycenae's eyes once again shone with a fierce light!

“Are you going to sell it to me!?”

“I’ll sell you only one of the two.”

As he spoke those words, Artpe pushed the wood framed glasses towards her.  Mycenae was able to confirm a suspicion she had.

“You must possess a tremendous observation magic.”

“Didn’t I tell you not to pry?  Well, it is obvious at this point in time, but….   Well, since I’ve been pretty heavy handed up until now, I’ll sell it to you at a price where I won’t see much profit.  I want 45 gold.”

“F….forty f…...!”

“I’ll buy it.  Thank you very much.”

The magnitude of money being exchanged had suddenly changed, and Maetel was taken aback.  However, Mycenae willingly paid the price!  Maetel’s eyes were spinning.

Artpe had a grin on his face.

“As expected, Dungeons are honey pots.  We just have to avoid being trapped and killed by the honey.”

“Customer.  At the Anywhere company, we offer services ranging from providing support to escorting parties.  If you need such services….”

“By doing so, you plan on taking half my loot as recompense?  Dream on.  Just give me my money.”

“Tsk.”

The wood framed glasses allowed one to probe the surroundings when the magic infused within the lenses was consumed.  As the holder of the Read All Creation ability, Artpe had no need of this item.  However, it was something all adventurers wanted when entering a Dungeon!  Since the demand was high, the price was also high.

The most unfortunate aspect of this item was the fact that it could only be used a limited number of times.  It disappeared after several uses.  This was why consumable items were priced depending on their number of uses, and this was one of the reasons why this particular item was given a high price.

Mycenae had estimated the amount of Mana within the wood framed glasses, and she knew she could easily sell it for 50 to 60 golds at the minimum.  She had a satisfied expression on her face as she put away the item into her cart.  Her eyes were sparkling once again.  Then her gaze landed on the black leather boots.  They were letting out a sheen of a high grade item.

“Customer.  I really want to purchase the boots…....”

“I’m not selling you this.”

Artpe answered flatly.  He took off his worn-out shoes, and he put on the leather boots.  Maetel clapped her hands.  She said it looked good on him, but Artpe didn’t care if it looked good or not.  The only thing important to him was its performance.
