278 Lesson 277
As the saying goes, not only those from the surrounding area, but also products from various countries and races were lined up in the shops. Just like that, they didn't choose a race, and there were a lot of people going around the city.
"You interact regardless of the elves, dwarves and people...... there is no discrimination or distinction, we all live together as normal. Amazing."
Deena was surprised that there was no interracial stigma when she saw people and elves having conversations that seemed pleasant with a bright look, Dwarves and Beasts who saw weapons and exchanged opinions of sorts.
"Maybe there were multiple races at the time we launched this place instead of other races gathering in the city that people built. If the Fae come in later, it's hard to do it smoothly."
"Sure enough, when other races came into Elf country, it was easy for the shit to happen"
Deena nodded so much that she remembered the old days. Of course, the Ethereal Tails could not be rubbed, but even at the time a thousand years ago there were elf supremacists, sometimes rubbed with influxes from other countries.
"Well, it might look good, but there's a lot going on back there, so we're just gonna do what we do."
"Yeah, right"
It looked like Deena was feeling somewhere uneasy that the hostility we would be confronting wasn't worse than we thought.
"Don't look like that. Anyway, look into the problems in this country and talk to the ones that would be hostile to us. Maybe we'll just talk about it, okay?
I was trying to lighten my feelings by wanting to speak so lightly, even though I thought Aotea herself wouldn't be like that to encourage her.
"For now, enjoy this city in front of you!
"Yes!"
At that moment of nagging, Ethereum drew her hand, and as she walked straight back, Deena regained her smile and returned to the continuation of her stroll.
As I proceeded to buy and eat in the stalls along the way, I reached the central square. There is a large fountain in the center, but nevertheless the square is large enough to have a cloth spread out and an outdoor shop, a street performer, someone to meet up with, and many others.
"There are so many different ones. Hmm, that's..."
Aotearoa looks around. Then I find something rare inside the dewstore.
"What's wrong?
"I thought you were selling something interesting."
Aotea headed to the outhouse.
"Hmm? Oh, hey, are you interested in this?
The shopkeeper, who noticed the two approached him and raised his face, was a beastly man in his forties or so.
"Oh, I thought you were selling something rare... is that selling?
It was the jewel's primary stone that was arranged there. It takes the form of a gobble and a snoring. It is something that can be seen at first glance that it is pre-processed.
"Uh, you know what I mean? I got the raw stone, but I didn't have the processing technology, and they told me that it would cost me a lot of money if I brought it to the craftsman, so I opened an outdoor shop in a place like this on the way... well, I didn't know how to fly."
You don't deal with things you're unfamiliar with, you shake your neck sideways with troubled, bitter smiling faces like that.
"Right... how much for one?
"Oh, you're buying me? I don't care how much, I ask the other way, but how much do you want?
The store owner was worried about how much it was right to set it to because it was too unsold.
"Then how about a piece of gold for everything?
"Become!
The shopkeeper, who was sitting in a small chair, slips out of his hips in surprise and falls from it.
"Hey, you okay?
Aotearoa spoke up, but the shopkeeper remained surprised.
"To, brother, are you serious about that earlier!?
"Oh, oh, I mean it... more than that, look, stand up"
Aeta lent him a hand, even though he pulled slightly to the magnitude of the store owner's reaction, and the store owner was finally re-establishing his attitude.
"Sorry, I was surprised because it was a lot of money. So, are you sure you want to buy all of this?
"Oh, see, this is the price. If you're gonna convince me, I want it quick, okay?
When he receives the gold coin from Aotearoa's hand, he wraps it in a spacious bath.
"This, product. I'm not giving you your money back!
When the store owner seemed to take care of the gold coin just because he said he would not let go already, he pushed Aotearoa into the bathroom with the original stone. He was a shopkeeper who was in a hurry to change the mind of a drunken customer, but Aeta was satisfied with the product he had received.
"Mr. Sota, what do you use that for? It just looked like a colored stone to me."
Deena wondered if that was worth a single gold coin, but it was a late question.
"Uh, you're just a stone if you keep it that way. I told you, the colors are pretty compared to the stones rolling over there."
"It still is, isn't it? Can Mr. Sorta do something about that?
Aeta grinned at the question.
"When this is scraped out and processed, the gem can be raised. It just takes skill to process, so it's normal to ask an artisan, like the shopkeeper just said, to sell it. But this is because it's a small size, and even if it was processed, it wouldn't be such a good amount of money. Yeah, that's how I sold it."
Aotearoa laughs when she takes out one of the original stones she bought earlier.
"So that's what Mr. Sota processes and sells out?
I'm not in trouble with money, so I asked a question with the first proposal I came up with, although I didn't really think that was the purpose.
"I'll do the processing, but the usage is more interesting."
Let me know then.
Deena was also looking forward to knowing what it was because Aotearoa seemed to enjoy it while rolling the raw stone in her hand.
"Of course, if Deena has anything to worry about, tell me."
Sometimes open-air shoppers that open in squares sell things that are hard to see in regular stores. That's why I looked around carefully so I could discover it.
Looking around at one street of dewstores, the two had surprisingly much to worry about and were thoughtfully buying them.
"Ha, you bought quite a bit... a bit too much scattering lately though I have some money. You'd better do a little favor and make some money."
"I heard earlier at the dewstore that the Adventurer Guild is where we took the big road on the north side,"
While shopping to do some research into the city's geography, Deena had no trouble collecting information.
"Well, thank you. Do you want to try it soon?"
The two headed to the Adventurer's Alliance on that leg.
