The Strongest Wizard Becomes a Countryside Guardsman After Taking an Arrow to the Knee-Chapter 363 - The Wholesaler Arrives
Chapter 363 – The Wholesaler Arrives
Cruz happily said,
「Of course! Relax and buy all you need!」
She had her lion mask on, so you couldn’t see her expression, but her voice was all smiles.
「Well, then just this.」
A merchant said, and pointed out what he wanted.
「Just that?」 f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m
「Yes, I don’t have much…HE’S going to be here this afternoon, and he’ll kill me if I don’t have the money for his wares.」
「I see…」
Cruz was thinking, and said,
「So you’re worried that this Demon Lord wholesaler is going to say something, and I won’t do anything about it?」
「I…I’m sorry…It’s not that I don’t trust you, Miss Lion…」
She was Miss Lion now, and people were worried about her “lion.”
「Since this is the Wolf Wholesaler, you can call me wolf too.」
「Wha? But…」
The merchant looked confused, then looked over at Femm and Moofy.
「Okay, Wolf Miss Lion.」
And he was probably guessing that Vi-Vi was Miss Cow from her mask.
「I know you’re worried, but you can pay tomorrow if you need to.」
「R…really?」
Millia said, continuing,
「But, tomorrow, I’m going to be able to collect my debts, right?」
「Of course!」
「Make sure you buy what you can pay for!」
「Yes, thank you.」
The first merchant bought and turned around, saying to the others,
「It’s really cheap here!」
「Don’t trust them over that, knucklehead!」
「…but still…」
There were plenty of merchants there that still didn’t trust us.
「I guess I understand how they feel after the suffering they’ve been through until now.」
I said, with Vi-Vi saying,
「Yeah, Al…」
「Moo moo」
「ryaa」
Seems they all agreed.
Shiggy had responded with her little nose peeking from my pouch.
When the merchants bought stuff, Cruz said,
「Don’t you rip off customers with high prices!」
「I…I won’t…I promise.」
Both Femm and Moofy were next to Cruz. Just them sitting beside her still gave off a strong aura.
After about eighty percent of the merchandise was gone,
「WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!」
We heard a bellowing voice from behind Cruz and Millia.
And with the voice arrived a muscular, tall man.
There were five other well-built and muscular men that stepped up next to them.
Maybe a magician in the mix as well.
They were smiling, but I could tell their eyes weren’t.
I saw all the merchants’ faces stiffen.
「W…what are you?」
「N…no…we…」
They were trying to explain off why they were buying.
Seems the Demon Lord’s wholesaler had arrived, earlier than expected.
Cruz turned around and laughed, saying,
「We’re selling goods! You can leave it to the Wolf’s Wholesalers!」
「…oh?」
「Seems there’s not enough supplies here in Elkay.」
「Did you get the okay from the town agent?」
Seems that this wholesaler had gotten a license from him.
Of course, he was a zombie, so it was just an okay from the Demon Lord. f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m
「Nope.」
「That’s not good to hear. We’re the only one with a license, see. We also can’t let people get away with illegal sales!」
「Hmph.」
Cruz said, and I could tell she was smiling, but since she was wearing a mask you couldn’t see it.
「Line up if you want more!」
「You asshat! Don’t you know you’re going to get wrecked!」
The muscle-man reached over and put his hand on Cruz’ shoulder.
A man I assumed was the wholesaler said,
「I’m going to the castle. After you kick her ass, bring her to the castle as well.」
「Yes, sir.」
The muscled freak bowed to the wholesaler.
Then he looked over at the gathered merchants.
「You think you are gonna get away with all those illegal purchases?」
「W…WE’RE SORRY!」
We then saw the wholesaler leave with someone I think was his magician.
So I yelled,
「Don’t think anyone’s left in the castle!」
「WhaaA?」
The wholesaler spun and I could see he was a bit scared.
I had flattened all his muscle boys to the ground in a second.
「The wolf destroyed that idiot who thought he was the Demon Lord.」
「There’s no way…」
「Way…」
「A demon can’t be defeated that easily…」
「A demon or even a demon lord can’t win against the wolf!」
Cruz said, giggling.
「It’s impossible…」
「So you knew about the demon as well? Can’t let you get away with it now…」
「Y…you fool! Get him!」
The wholesaler’s magician got to work.
He fired a chantless fireball at me…must be a decent magician.
「NO FIREBALLS IN TOWN!」
Cruz had run forward and grabbed the fireball in her right hand,
FWUSSSSHHHH
And while grabbing it, slammed it into the magician’s throat as she grabbed his neck. He fell limp and blood ran down his neck from the strength of her grip.
「These houses might burn…it would be a shame!」
Vi-Vi said, chiding.
Maybe she remembered the time she fought Luka and burned my house down.
「E…EEEK!」
The wholesaler screeched, and fled.
And it IS really dangerous to use a fireball in the middle of town.
