Ch. 3 Teuresec’s Horn that signals Victory
The festival took place near the statues, the squares, and the Tower of Light.
Newbie elemental shamans were running around dragging their contracted Dirt men, Fiery Pebbles, Wind spirits, and Water spirits.
“The water spirits are performing right now. Anybody who wants to be doused with refreshing water please come and join us.”
“Musicians who can only be found in Morata are performing! They will start in 10 minutes.”
The streets were filled with musicians and dancers performing together.
The Merchants’ businesses were thriving, and even the players that came back from their hunt opened stalls and were selling their Japtem.
Hwaryeong and Bellot chewed on sweet grass as they toured the festival.
They could have become very popular if they performed together as a dancer and a bard, but they did not.
They wanted to play and relax instead, after working for a long time.
“This is really beautiful.”
“Eunnee, It looks really good on you.”
( Eunnee- Its a formal way when a female calls another older female sister. Regardless of blood relation.)
They were fired up about shopping.
It wasn’t just Hwaryeong and Bellot but other players too, as they traveled around the market square they were fired up buying things.
“Those are some cute furry shoes!”
“Weed makes a lot of cute shoes. Why didn’t you buy it from him earlier?”
“I didn’t want to be seen as a shopping addict.”
"....."
Hwaryeong’s house is 120 square meters. Her master bedroom was extremely large and gathered in it were a lot of shoes.
“Eunnee, If Weed told you not to buy shoes will you stop buying it?”
Hwaryeong’s face turned white.
She wouldn’t be happy if she was to only wear sandals and sneakers for the rest of her life.
“I’ll….do what Weed wants.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Instead I can buy purses!”
"......"
==============================
“The night view is quite pretty isn’t it?”
“Try eating this for me. I just bought this.”
“You eat it first. I’ll feed it to you.”
Pale and Maylon were sitting on a rock near the Tower of Light.
They were doing lovey-dovey stuff while enjoying Morata’s night view!
There were crowds of other couples sitting together around them as well.
In Morata this area has the best atmosphere, and a good view so it is visited by many couples.
It was an area where singles could not possibly enter.
There were a few hundred pairs of couples sitting on the rocks under the moonlight.
A sculptor, who clearly did not have a girlfriend, was among them. Sculpting a large chicken from memory.
“The wind is making me cold.”
There were couples that could have went back to the city, but they were the type of couples that would still bare the cold.
Then the man will ask.
“Would you like to share my cloak?”
The couples shared their cloaks and the cozy atmosphere together.
There were many cases where couples would go hunting and adventuring together.
“Old man, by doing this don’t you feel like we’ve gotten younger?”
“Ahem! Well, It’s okay.”
It wasn’t an unusual sight to see old couples being intimate as well.
In Royal Road, people were able to feel as if they were young again and fully enjoyed the experience.
==============================
“We sell anything. We are willing to trade. Come over and check out our specialities from the sea. You may even find some items leading to quest or items needed for your quest. Looking is free! There are many precious things and by browsing through it for long periods of time you might even get to earn some money. Mapan’s store is now open and ready for business!”
Mapan traded with the mermaids and received special products from the sea such as corals, seaweeds, pearls, and glimmering fish scales that he was selling now.
Since Mapan has been selling in Morata from the beginning he had a lot of regular customers.
“Excuse me, Is it possible for you to cut the price a little?”
Female players who wanted the pretty sparkling pearls tried to get deals.
However Mapan shook his head and did not give them any chance to lower the price.
“No, I can not. It is because of the low supply.”
Even then he slily glanced at them and said, “I’ll lower it down by two gold.”
“Kyaaaah. Thank you!”
The female players who bought the items asked, “when will you be selling again?”
“Right now I’m not so sure. But please stop by, we handle anything from protective equipments to weapons.”
“Can I register you as a friend?”
“Of course.”
Mapan thought these were the best moments for him. This was the time to build friendship with other players.
From beginners to high level players, extensively meeting with others. Even as the Merchant profession, it was rare to meet so many people.
The money that Mapan earned was continually invested into his trade and shops.
