  Now then... This will be my final lecture to you on the path to becoming a merchant.
  Here is the trick to making a profit from trade.
  There are several ways of earning a profit with certainty.
  One of them is to buy items here at the base and sell them in other territories or allied countries.
  Items bought here at the base can be sold for a stable profit at other territories or countries.
  Furthermore, items that can only be bought in these lands can be sold for a high price in other lands that straddle our cultural sphere.

• 8341
• Instructor Alan
  Do you understand so far?

• 8342
• How will you respond?

• 8343
• Yes

• 8344
• Could you say that again, please?

• 8345
• Instructor Alan
  I see. Very well, once again.

• 8357
• Market Keeper
  Hey there. Been a long time since you came here with your teacher. Looks like you're on your final exam. Well, go on and take a look around.
  And if you have the Finance Skill, you can check the going Market Rates.
  The higher the percentage, the higher the market price, and vice versa.
  If you're going to make it as a merchant, I highly recommend acquiring it.
  If you can see the market price, just buy the cheap one.

• 8358
• Select the Market Price Command to see the market price.
  The higher it is, the more expensive
  the price is over the standard, and vice versa.

• 8359
• Instructor Alan
  I trust that you'll have no trouble completing the exam.

• 8360
• Travelling Merchant
  Say... Aren't you that greenhorn merchant from that other time? This must be fate, running into each other again like this.

• 8361
• Market Keeper
  Yup, that's 500 barrels. Here, take this.

• 8362
• Travelling Merchant
  Hey, thanks.

• 8363
• Travelling Merchant
  Now that you're here at the market, let's see how you're making out. I'm looking forward to seeing how much you've grown.

• 8364
• Travelling Merchant
  Huh? Final exam? Then you'd better do a good job here.

• 8365
• Market Keeper
  You two acquaintances?

• 8366
• Travelling Merchant
  Yup. Something like that.

• 8367
• Travelling Merchant
  For now, go on and look at the Market Rates.

• 8368
• Travelling Merchant
  Hey, long time no see. How have you been?

• 8369

  If it's too much trouble for you, I can help you out just a little bit. I do owe you a debt, after all.
  ...Am I the only one who thinks so? Well, whatever. Just think of it as my way of returning the favour.

• 8377

  you will be able to use the Market Price Command from
  the Market Keeper and see the Market Rates

  and your own trade items.

  That sounds like something you'd say, Instructor Alan. I just said that one day he'll become like me.

• 8392
• Instructor Alan
  That certainly sounds like "speaking highly" to me.

• 8393
• Instructor Alan
  ...It didn't go so well?

• 8394
• Travelling Merchant
  No no, Instructor Alan, that's not the case at all.
  It was like I could see him travelling the path to become a great merchant right before me.

• 8395
• Instructor Alan
  If that's what you say, then it must be true.

• 8396
• Instructor Alan
  And with this, you have successfully passed your final exam. Let's go back to the school and report.

  You have learned a lot in the lectures so far, but I'm not the only teacher you'll ever have in this world.
  You will likely meet many more people on your journeys that will give you a helping hand.
  Never forget to show your thanks to those that help you.
  And when you become a famous sailor someday, don't forget all those that helped you get there.
  I'm sure there will be many people that will want your help one day too.
  I hope that you will become a sailor that can remember how it felt to be helped by others and return that favour someday to others.
  That's all, Player, you're finished. Congratulations.
