"What I mean is, do you... don't you think we're being too simplistic?"
"Haven't you ever considered that maybe it's for other reasons that Boer won't let us see this Lord?"
Hearing this.
The group of merchants instantly calmed down, showing a contemplative expression on their faces.
"I really can't think of any other reason. After all, Boer was the one who asked us to buy the barley, and I've known him for so many years!"
"Koni, explain in detail?"
Koni nodded, "Do you think there's a possibility... Boer is secretly manipulating prices?"
"I mean, he's selling the barley to this Lord at above market price, then using the Lord's price manipulation as an excuse to reduce our profits?"
"After all, none of us have seen this Lord, everything Boer says is self-justified!"
Voices of disbelief rang out.
"No way?"
"Yeah, Boer isn't like that!"
"But... I think Koni makes sense... Who wouldn't want to earn a little extra money?"
