Chapter 24

After Mondette got off the ship, she began to play with the sand. Such things did not exist on the Floating Plane at all.

Because all the floating islands had been covered by magic and sand was very unfriendly to magic, it was impossible for anyone there to have ever seen such a thing.

As she walked, she entered the jungle and followed a small path to the north.

After walking for a long time, she suddenly saw a group of buildings in front of her!

“Wow! What is this? Is this a newly built village? I haven’t flown here for a few months and while there was a village here before, I don’t remember it being this huge.”

After thinking over and over again, she walked into the village.

She realized that this was a demi-human village! Since when were the demi-humans in this area able to build their own villages?

The demi-humans had their own jobs, so they had no time to care about this human who had just wandered.

They simply thought she was with the village chief as he was usually the only one to have humans around him.

A demi-human guard walked over and said to Mondette, “Are you lost? The public office is in that direction! You can reach the center of Puba Village by walking in that direction. Or if you’re looking for the village chief, he should be in that direction over there.”

Hearing this, Mondette found that the place was very orderly, so she walked in the direction the guard pointed.

Soon, she found a big house in the middle of the village.

“This must be the public office!”

She walked in and found a man in a butler’s uniform writing something. There were also several elves busy scribbling stuff as well surrounding him.

Soon, Mortimer finished his work and noticed Mondette.

Seeing the stranger, he immediately stood up and asked her, “May I know who you are?”

Hearing the stranger’s question, Mondette immediately introduced herself politely, “I am a merchant from the Floating Plane. My name is Mondette. It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance!”

Hearing this, Mortimer was a little puzzled. Didn’t the merchants from the Floating Plane not trade with people from small villages?

‘Why has someone like this appeared here?’

In the past when he still lived in the Empire, he had seen merchants from the Floating Plane. These people’s statuses were much more noble than many nobles that he had known within the Empire.

He did not expect to see any merchants from the Floating Planes here.

Looking at her attire, it was clear that she came from a certain status.

In order not to neglect the other party, Mortimer immediately bowed and said, “My name is Mortimer. I am the chief of this village’s public office. I’m temporarily managing the affairs of the village in place of the village chief. May I know why you are here?”

Mondette immediately replied, “I was just curious at the beginning and followed the road by the sea all the way to the north. I didn’t expect to find a village here! If possible, can I meet with your village chief?”

“No problem. Shall we continue this in the office? This way, please.”

Seeing that the merchant of the Floating Plane was very trustworthy, he immediately sent someone to inform Village Chief Joshua of her arrival.

After half an hour, Joshua arrived at the office.

He didn’t know anything else, but he only knew that a woman dressed very strangely came to the village.

With this doubt in mind, Joshua immediately headed off to the public office.

At this time, Mondette was chatting with Mortimer.

He saw the opportunity and immediately walked over. He said to the woman dressed in unique clothes, “I’m the village chief, Joshua!”

Because they were not familiar with each other, Joshua did not intend to reveal his family name to her.

Mondette immediately stood up and stretched out her hand. “I’m Mondette, a merchant from the Floating Plane. I just happened to pass by this place. Thank you very much for receiving me, village chief.”

As he did not know what the other party was here for, Joshua could only ask, “May I help you with something?”

Mondette was actually just curious. There was not much of a big deal, so she explained, “My skyship appeared here while on route. However, it ran aground on the sea in the south. I don’t need help for the time being! I was just curious about your village as I was walking along the path from the beach. I’m really sorry to disturb you!”

After hearing Mondette’s words, Joshua immediately said, “So you’re a merchant! My village just happens to be lacking a lot of things. I wonder if I can trade with you!”

Hearing this, Mondette immediately became interested. “Of course you can, but as the village chief, I don’t know what your village can provide for me as a suitable trade.”

Although these words made Joshua uncomfortable, that was indeed the case. This village only had fruits, vegetables, and minerals that could only last a few days at most!

Suddenly, Joshua thought of something. Recently, his people had found a magic mine in the depths of the forest. From there, they could develop all kinds of high-quality magic stones.

“I think I should have something that can interest you!”

As he spoke, he took out the items from his waist pocket and placed them in front of Mondette.

She took the ores on the table and immediately used her hand to sense them. She found that the quality of these ores was actually top-tier.

Any one of them had already reached the highest grade!

“Are there many of these things here?”

When Joshua saw that she was so interested, he said, “Because these were just recently collected, we only have a few bags of them.”

Hearing what Joshua said, Mondette knew that he said it on purpose. “It doesn’t matter, any amount is fine!”

With that, she took out a few forms from her chest pocket.

“The things in here can be traded. If there’s anything else you want or need, we can trade on it later.”

Joshua held the form in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, he smelled a faint body fragrance coming from the form.

‘This woman smells so good!’

This thought flashed through his mind. Soon, he shook his head and looked at the form in his hand carefully.

There were many things in the form. Most of them were rare raw materials. There were no finished products.

Joshua was slightly disappointed. He shook his head as he looked at the form in his hand.

Because the things on the form could basically be obtained from this area, they were not of use to him at all.

Seeing that the other party was not satisfied, Mondette immediately took out another list and explained, “Well, I thought you were lacking in materials but it seems that you don’t need them!

“This list is full of finished products, but the items are more expensive. It doesn’t matter if you don’t buy them, you can just take a look first!”

Opening the list, Joshua found that they were all weapons, equipment, and magic tools.

There were even siege weapons. With so many tools of destruction, Joshua could not help but furrow his brows.
