Fred's eyes widened a little as he heard the price.
On the way here, since he passed through a marketplace, he roughly knows what the value of gold is. From his approximation, 1 gold coin is about 100 to 300PHP (roughly around $2 to $6) in terms of value.
So, 99,999 coins are…
Just thinking about it already gives Fred a headache.
Looking at that Shwallow thing acting cute at the people, Fred doubted if the price that the staff quoted was correct.
Wondering why the price is so high, he asked the staff about it.
"Is that the normal price of that thing? I wonder why it is so high."
To which the staff replied, "The shwallow, sir? Oh, no sir, the actual selling price for a normal shwallow is only around 10,000 gold coins."
When Fred heard that, he understood what the staff was about to say.
And as if to confirm he is correct, the staff continued,
"For this Shwallow that you are seeing now, it is actually a mutated Shallow."
