75. Dismantling Work

*Rumbling sound…*

As soon as I took out the Earth Dragon, the stone-built building trembled slightly, and with a rumble, dust began to fall from the ceiling.

I couldn’t help but think that maybe it would have been better to do this outdoors…

“Whoaaa!!”

Suddenly, a thunderous cheer erupted throughout the floor, drowning out the rumbling. The employees rushed towards the Earth Dragon, eager to get a closer look.

“It’s an Earth Dragon!””This is my first time seeing the real thing!””Show it to me up close!””Hey, don’t push!”

The employees chattered excitedly. Even Carant, who was supposed to be next to me, had somehow ended up near the Earth Dragon, his eyes shining with excitement.

“Wow! It seems like the Earth Dragon’s sturdy shell was shattered in a single blow! How much strength does it take to achieve such overwhelming destruction?! Magnificent! It’s undoubtedly the work of a highly skilled adventurer!”

Well, it’s not that impressive, really. I just dropped it from the sky.

As Carant, lost in thoughts of nonexistent skilled adventurers, stood proudly, Isezaki-san stood beside him, her chest swelling with pride.

Usually, Isezaki-san would praise me excessively, but she seemed to refrain from saying, “Sir defeated it!” It’s appreciated.

Among the bustling employees, a particularly veteran-looking bald, muscular man raised his voice.

“Boss! This one’s spine snapped clean off along with its shell, and it died instantly! There are hardly any other wounds, and the freshness is impeccable! This thing’s like a whole body of gold nuggets!”

“Oh! Indeed! Everyone, halt all ongoing tasks! Let’s begin dismantling this Earth Dragon! Not a drop of blood shall be wasted!”

“Ooooh!”

The employees cheered loudly and returned to their workbenches, gathering around the Earth Dragon once again, armed with hatchets, saws, ladders, and various other tools.

They all swarmed around the massive Earth Dragon, skillfully peeling off its scales, inserting metal rods at the edges of the scales to pry them off, and collecting the spilling blood.

The sight of so many people clinging to the huge Earth Dragon and bustling about their work reminded me of ants swarming over candy.

However, scales were being peeled off the Earth Dragon, which even a group of adventurers couldn’t damage much. The skill of the employees must be quite something.

Impressed by their work, Carant approached me.

“My sincere gratitude for choosing our company for this transaction. And indeed, Lady Levia is a Dragon Slayer, and you… what a remarkable talent you possess!”

“Huh? Me?”

“Of course. Among Earth Dragons, one of the largest. And you managed to store it in ‘Storage Space’? If not for being Lady Levia’s attendant, I would want to hire you myself!”

Come to think of it, Isezaki-san mentioned something about being as big as a large truck. And this Earth Dragon is about the size of several trucks.

“Haha, I’ve always been good at that…”

“Oh! It’s amazing to meet someone of your caliber at this age. The world truly is vast! As the leader of the legendary party ‘Azure Gale,’ Zakarite once said, ‘Encounters with outstanding talents are treasures for life.’ Inspired by those words, when I started this company—”

Carant continued to talk endlessly. I wanted to listen to him, but we have sightseeing plans later today.

“Um, excuse me. So, how much would the Earth Dragon cost?”

“Oh! The crucial negotiation! Let’s get started, shall we? Please, this way!”

We followed Carant to the reception room.

—

The reception room we were ushered into was a shop dealing with monster materials. The floor was covered with fur resembling that of a tiger, and the lamps hanging were made from the horns of some creature. The leather on the soft sofa we sat on was probably also monster material.

By the way, I recognized the pattern on the table handle. This was probably processed from the shell of an Earth Dragon. So, it was a room filled with monster materials.

Carant sat on the other side of the table, leaning forward as he began to speak.

“Now, as for the price of this Earth Dragon…”

At that moment, behind the seemingly kind-hearted Carant, a sharp glint appeared in his eyes.
