Chapter 519: " Can You Draw?" (1/2)

The carriage came to a stop in front of a large square. This square was clearly a very popular gathering place within the city, as many other merchants had set up their carriages in the same place.

There was nothing green to lighten up the atmosphere, nor were there any statues. It was one large and flat square, but even so, numerous ghosts were making their way across it.

Some had stopped in front of the other carriages and looked at the goods, while others were rushing through the crowd, not even looking at their surroundings.

While the creatures who were living here were ghosts, they behaved exactly like the beings in the living world. Everyone was intelligent and moving rapidly to solve their own problems.

There were not many ghosts who were standing still and talking amongst themselves. In the living world, you would see everyone being friendly, and willing to help one another, but here, it was truly clear that one could only put their trust in themselves.

Gossip was not something that was very widespread, and those who did enjoy gossiping were generally the higher-ranked ghosts who had already reached a certain level.

Xue Wei and Lan were curious as to what they could find in this regional capital, but they were also realistic. They knew that finding Li Zhiqing would not be easy, and finding her at their first real stop was not highly likely.

But even so, they were not discouraged.

As the carriages came to a stop, the middle-aged ghost began setting up the caravan's stores. Ghosts did not need sleep, and thus the square was full of life at any given time during the day.

The middle-aged ghost had gotten many items from Xue Wei, and while he wanted to keep the majority for himself, there were still some things he could sell to the highest bidder.

However, these things were not going to be placed on display in this square. He was going to personally contact the leaders of the city, and try to get the best price for the items he had acquired.

Even so, it would take time for him to get in touch with these people, so the caravan was likely to stay in the city for a long time.

But this had nothing to do with Xue Wei and Lan. They had already completed the deal with the ghost, and the ghost had also fulfilled his promises. Xue Wei and Lan had arrived at the Regional Capital, and thus they were going to split up.

The female ghost followed Xue Wei and Lan as they departed from the caravan. The middle-aged ghost also came to say goodbye, and they parted on good terms.

Many of the surrounding ghosts were quite confused. Ghosts did not have a good relationship, so why would this caravan leader be so respectful and polite to another?

Even a young female ghost was following behind him as if she was his servant.
