40 The Oldman Yordrunli (1/2)

After entering through the gate it was a whole new atmosphere, the streets are crowded full of people and monsters. There were stalls that lined the whole street, with vendors trying to sell their wares and pull in customers.

I spotted stalls that had food, weapons, and trinkets, also some clothing stalls. Looked like you could find anything you wanted in this place. Plus we'd just entered through the gates but there had to be dozens of stalls that were open and talking to potential customers.

Looking upwards I noticed that some of the stalls had words above their head but I couldn't understand anything. Other just had pictures or symbols above their stalls. It appeared that I would need to learn the language of this place, and also about money.

One would always need money to purchase goods.

Other than the stalls, I noticed that there was also business that had storefronts. They would, of course, have more expensive products.

”Why don't we head somewhere to get the special item appraised,” Haru says slipping closer towards me. I give him a sharp look but nod my head in agreement.

”Lead the way,” I give a nod and he smiles before we start to walk through the bustling streets. The stall owners looked like they wanted to say something to use, but we moved through the crowd before they could try and rope us in.

Plus even if we weren't moving fast I knew that Haru wouldn't be one to get swept up in schemes, though he seemed like the type you'd suspect would. Looks were deceiving, to say the least, I would have to make a mental note of that.

After we escaped the busy street of stall owners, the town got quieter, we moved to a more upper-class area. All the stores were located in buildings and had fancy signs, hanging above the storefront.

We'd also passed a lot more inn's, plus clothing stores we're on every other corner. It seems that the clothing business was booming, although, it made sense considering that'd I'd burned through my clothes and torn them. One would inevitably need replacements, I would need to stop in and get clothes.

”Alice, I smell the wheel of fortune are at work,” Jade's tiny voice whispered next to my ear. I'd almost forgotten that he was there on my shoulder, he barely weighted anything so I didn't take notice of him in less he spoke.

Thankfully, I hadn't lost him in the freefall that I'd taken. Reaching a hand up I give his head a little rub. I really liked the little fellow he was cute and tiny.

”Is that a good thing?” I ask him softly.

”Fortune is always good, but we'll have to see if it'll be because of a bad event or a good event.” He stated simply, and I gave a slight nod of my head. That made sense, but the last thing I needed was a run-in with something bad.
