451 Marke (1/2)
The market was as big as several cities of mortals, and it wouldn't be strange getting lost.
However, it was also a place where almost everything could be bought as long as one had enough money.
The merchants weren't as strong as the information brokers, and there were even Law Masters selling things, but the truth was that almost all of them were associated with a World God that supported them, which made that there wasn't almost any conflict in the market.
Most of the items were also from the World Gods, and those sellers were just working to sell them. In exchange, they received the guidance of the World God and could also use the fame of the market to sell their own things.
Moreover, the money of selling their own things would be entirely for the owner since there wasn't any need to give a part to the World God.
A year of work was worthy of just one season of guidance from the World God, but it was still a great temptation for those without background.
The World God couldn't bother to sell things personally and preferred to act as information brokers while leaving the rest to their subordinates.
However, the prices of the items were still decided by the World God selling them, and each World God put a different price, so if one wanted to save money, it was imperative investigating the whole market to find the cheapest price.
Yale's group had a lot of money, but if they spent it without thinking it would be wasted very quickly.
Although Lina just needed to ask her father, and then she would obtain another fortune without problems, she would need to go to her father's place first, and there wasn't time for that.
They hadn't bought anything after spending several hours walking. It wasn't that they didn't want to buy, but they didn't want to buy the first items they saw unless it was an item that couldn't be found easily in other places.
However, they hadn't found such an exclusive item either, so they had been just looking at the marketplaces.
”Mister! Come to my stall! I can ensure you that no one else will offer you better prices!”
It wasn't strange having seller exclaiming like that especially among the Law Masters, but the one who shouted was an Essence God, so Yale paid a bit more attention to his stall.
However, the prices were quite average with the rest of the stalls, and it was far from being called the cheapest stall.
Yale ignored it and continued walking followed by the other three, but the seller spoke again.
”I am a man of Terug. He instructed me to give you discounts in all the items.”
Hearing that, Yale stopped because he remembered that the information broker from before was called Terug. However, Yale didn't think too much about him at that moment and didn't think that Terug would have asked his men to give them special treatment.
Yale had been the only one speaking and also the one who gave the money although it belonged to Lina, so Terug believed that Yale was the leader of the group.
Of course, no one in Yale's group would complain about that. Lina and Yale shared everything, and the others were Lina's sister and Yale's disciple, so it wasn't wrong if the other party considered Yale as the leader.
”You should have said that earlier.”
Yale turned back and returned to the stall of that Essence God.
When Yale heard the discounts that the seller was offering to him, he didn't doubt that he couldn't obtain those items cheaper unless he looked for shady sellers with dubious reputations.
Terug wouldn't give such treatment for any group of Essence Gods just to befriend them, but he noticed that the four of them were already Essence Gods in all the Essences needed to become World Gods.
Seeing someone fulfilling the conditions but not advancing was strange and four of them together was quite shocking.
After all, there wasn't any loss to advance as long as one fulfilled the requirements, and based on Terug's common sense, the only reason someone would restrain was that their souls weren't ready or that their minds were still quite weak.
However, the only ones who could face those problems were those who advanced to that point while being too young, and the only ones who could do that were those with extremely big backgrounds, so Terug put extra effort in befriending them.
