After Being Exiled From the Country, I Became the Fourth Enchanter in the World!

Chapter 10

Chapter 10 How Much Is the Salary for a Part-Time Job as an Enchanter?

「My Enchantment just went up to level 9. Do you want me to make it <+9> for <Body Strengthening> and <Swordsmanship>?」

「Yeah, please.」

Got it!

While gulping down mana potions, I enchanted <Swordsmanship +9>, <Body Strengthening +9>, and <Magic Bag (Small)>.

I managed to do everything with the willpower of a former corporate slave, but my stomach is already bloated.

「It’s over… ugh.」

「Good work. It was fast, and everything was enchanted properly. As for the price… how about 4 gold plates, 7 gold coins, and 3 silver plates in total?」

「That should be enough. …… I want to use it as a reference in the future, so if you don’t mind, could you tell me the breakdown?」

It’s my specialty, so I want to make money by making good use of it!

「If you limit the user, normal skills are about 1 silver plate per <+1>. I’ve never seen an appraisal card, so I don’t know the market price. But considering its usefulness, I think it’s about 1 gold plate.」

Hmm… it’s more expensive than I thought….

「The magic bag (small) is 4 gold coins at the market price, and 6 gold coins considering that you can choose the bag as you like. If you don’t limit the user, you should ask for three times the price for all of them. After all they can be an heirloom that will be passed down from generation to generation.」

「Thank you! It was helpful.」

I got some unexpected income, and I also learned the market price for enchantments.

Will-san seems to be scheming… but he’s surprisingly a good person.

「By the way, about the appraisal… the card only shows up to skills, but how far can you see it yourself? …… Ah, I don’t mean anything strange. I’m just thinking that I will pay more if it can show up to aptitudes.」

「I can also see aptitudes. Aptitudes won’t change for the rest of your life, so you only need to see them once. That’s why I didn’t put them in. If someone wants to see their aptitudes, I can just show them on the spot or give them a note.」

It’s half true and half lie.

It is true that you only need to see them once, but the fundamental reason why I don’t put them in the card is that if I end up giving a card that a certain Crown Prince or a certain grandfather can use, I would end up telling them their aptitudes as well.

I’m aware that I’m small-minded, but if such a situation were to happen, I’m sure I’ll get annoyed.

「I see…. Then, can you tell all three of us for one gold plate per person?」

「Okay!」

I immediately wrote down the three’s aptitude lists and handed them over.

As expected of high-level adventurers, all three of them seem to have acquired skills that suit them.

However, it seems that there was an unexpected discovery that Bogard-san had an aptitude (D) for the rare skill <Summoning Magic>, so everyone had a grin on their faces.

…… I also had a grin on my face because I just got some gold plates, so I’m one to talk.

「Well~, it was a very meaningful time. Jink-kun, if you don’t mind, is it okay for us to escort you to the border? It would be a big deal if something happened to a talented person like you.」

「Ahaha, that’s exaggerating. Besides, you came from the Kingdom of Quall, right? Going back for someone like me is unthinkable…」

「Rather, we can’t believe that you don’t have a bodyguard. Including you, there are only four enchanters in the world, and you’re the only enchanter on this continent. …… It could develop into an international problem if something happened to an enchanter, and a country could raise its standing if they have a close relationship with an enchanter. So, normally, the country would provide excellent bodyguards…. I wonder what is the government of the Kingdom of Rosalta thinking…」

I don’t think they’re thinking about anything.

After all, I just learned this skill a few days ago!

…… I won’t say it, though.

「On the contrary, he was disinherited by Duke Nonland, deprived of his nobility, and exiled from the country.」

「That’s right.」

「What did you say!? They exiled an enchanter!? Are they sane!? …… Or could it be that you did something bad, Jink-kun?」

「I didn’t do anything that would warrant me the punishment of being exiled from the country. They didn’t say anything about my crime, so I don’t have any proof, but… maybe my grandfather falsely accused me to make me disinherited. I myself had bad behavior and my reputation among the people was the worst, so it would be easy to frame me up.」

If I had to name a crime, it would be the crime of losing the trust of the public to the point of being easy to be falsely accused.

「Nonland family is famous for their spearmanship, but I have no talent with the spear…. Whenever my grandfather had the chance, he wanted to disinherit me and make my younger brother the successor. When my appraisal skill blossomed at the age of 12, I could no longer trust other people other than my younger brother, so I didn’t even tell my family about my rare skills.」

At the age of 12… in other words, it was the time I started to become a delinquent.

It’s more natural that way, and it’s easier to get their sympathy.

「After all, I didn’t want to be known by someone in power and be forced to serve them. For the same reason, I didn’t practice rare skills or swordsmanship until I was exiled. Setting aside aptitudes, there were appraisers who can peek at skills in Rosalta. I was wearing a magic tool to disguise my status, but I did so just in case.」

「That’s… my condolences. …… Jink-kun, is there anyone in the Kingdom of Rosalta who knows that you’re an enchanter?」

「When I was exiled, I gave my younger brother Esther a box with an appraisal card and a note listing his aptitudes. I told him to open it when I leave the country, so I think he will be aware of it sooner or later. …… The only people who know that I’m an enchanter are the people here.」

「I see. Please rest assured! We will do our best to escort you to the border! Let’s get out of this country as soon as possible!」

Will-san… his eyes are sparkling and he’s super scary.

I’m sure he’s thinking about profit and loss.

「Will is very motivated~. Well, missing the chance to make a connection with an enchanter is stupid, so we will also do our best!」

Even Karen-san, the beautiful S rank adventurer elf, is motivated!?

It makes me happy in various ways!

「It’s really helpful to have the cooperation of everyone in the A rank party. I’m looking forward to working with you!」

After that, Will-san requested me to make appraisal cards and aptitude lists for all the adventurers present (probably hush money), and everyone was able to see their stats and aptitudes.

Unfortunately, none of them had the aptitude for rare skills, but there were more than half of them who had the wrong skills to train.

They were stunned and crying over the fact that they chose the wrong skills and had been training them for more than a decade.

As for me, I was grinning after receiving a large number of gold plates (42 pieces).

When the members of the <Sacred Flame> offered to stand guard for me, I took the offer and went into the tent alone to thoroughly read the <Magic Book of Recovery Magic>, and in the end, my Recovery Magic went up to level 3.

I used up my mithril ingot today, but I got a lot of money and safety, so I have no regret.

……… Will-san is a little scary, though.
