Chapter 388: Best Alchemy Market in Koran City.

Ghana didn't need Kali to tell her because the second she made that proposal, the eyes of all the people present seemed to lock onto her, pressuring her badly. 'Crap, I hit a landmine the first time I spoke.'

Of course, they just applied pressure for a moment. Although they didn't like when people treated Yasenia as merchandise, they also understood that it was natural because of the nature of this Continent.

Kali smiled and commented. "You should've guessed it already, but we take very seriously when someone offends our dragoness. Therefore, if you want to have a good relationship with us, I advise you not to have any intentions toward any of the individuals present."

Ghana nodded quickly and said. "I'm truly sorry. I will be careful in the future."

Then, she asked. "What merchandise do you have, miss? I can help you evaluate it if you want."

Kali answered. "Our merchandise is varied and exotic. However, we are planning to auction our items in the Brilliant Auction. We haven't gone there yet because we've been acclimatizing ourselves to the living condition in the Koran City."

Ghana nodded and asked. "Did you plan on there today?"

Kali shook her head. "No, we must still visit one of the most prominent alchemy shops. After doing so, we'll go to the auction house."

Ghana nodded and looked at the humans. However, this time she didn't ask. If they didn't speak about it, she would not ask. Then, remembering what the City Lord told her to do, she felt a headache incoming.

Regardless, she had to try nonetheless. "Respectful misses, since you know that I come from the City Lord Mansion, I would like to ask if you can open a day to speak with our City Lord."

Kali answered noncommittally. "We'll see what we do. As long as we have time, we'll certainly go visit the City Lord."

Ghana nodded, satisfied with the answer. Although it wasn't a yes, at least, it was a rejection.

Cecile turned toward Flanna and asked, "So, now that we are all together. How about you speak about yourself a little?"

Flanna nodded, "I'm the daughter of one of the guardian elders of our race. Our tribe moved from the central part of the Continent some centuries ago, and we've settled nearby. Because of the importance my race attaches to military training, I've been doing guard duties for some months already."

Then, she said with an embarrassed smile. "Until now, I've never had little people as friends, but I want to become your friend!"

Evelyn hadn't listened to her previous reasons, so she reflexively asked. "Why?"

Flanna said embarrassingly. "I-I don't have many friends, and I felt like you all were good people. So I just... umm... want to get to know all of you."

Yasenia looked at the others and communicated mentally. "Well, having two people with us can be a plus. So, we can let you come with us for a while."

Andrea transmitted to Yasenia's and the other girls' minds. "Isn't it going to be a bit of a bother to carry a giant with us? I mean, she won't be able to enter most establishments we visit."

Yasenia said. "Since we already have Sierra, it won't be different. Moreover, if we enter a place of normal human size, we can have her outside with Sierra and one of us, we should be able to avoid many troubles with her help. Who knows if there are people who will try to kidnap Sierra or something? Flanna seems like a good girl and also seems to have some influence; we lose nothing by getting close to her."

They nodded, finding her reasoning acceptable.

Kali said aloud. "Good. Since we now know your intentions, let's go out. We were going to walk outside today either way."

Without any more delay, they all went out.

Their group was eye-catching, so many people gave them a second look. It was expected since Sierra and Flanna were among the few giants walking on the streets. Moreover, seeing the giant girl conversing with human-sized people with a smile was a strange sight.

Typically, because the height difference was a very restricting factor, giants and normal-sized races didn't have many interactions.

The male catkin followed by their side and explained. "This powerful cauldron was once owned by an elder of the [Nine Herb Fragrance Sect]. Later, he found a better one in a mysterious realm expedition. However, reluctant to destroy it, he decided to place it on sale."

Their eyebrows lifted with interest. 'One of the Nine sects.'

They observed the cauldron a little closer, but after a while, they were disappointed. There was nothing special about it, at least not after an initial evaluation. Kali asked. "How much does it cost?"

The catkin smiled and said. "This cauldron costs one-hundred-and-fifty-five High-level Parus. It is one of the best offers for a cauldron like this one."

Yasenia and the others blinked. 'Our home costs one hundred mid-level Parus a week. That's 0.1 High-level Parus. This cauldron alone can buy over 1500 weeks of residence in our current home. That's almost thirty years of residency.'

Kali frowned. "Isn't that too much for a mid-level Earth-rank item?"

They had sold items in the past, but most were in the Magic rank. Therefore, they still had to adapt to how it ramped up the price with the quality of the treasure. Of course, the possibility of having been scammed in the past was not low. However, the things they sold until now couldn't even leave a scratch on the number of resources.

The catkin smiled. "It is not too much. Although other cauldrons of the same quality can cost much less, they are not as good as this one. Moreover, the fact that an Elder from a Nine Sect owned it in the past makes the item's evaluation ramp up."

Tatyana approached and whispered something in Kali's fox ear. They saw Kali's large ears twitch because of Tatyana's warm breath. However, she listened attentively.

Then, Tatyana turned back and walked to the back of the group again. Her posture was always servile and polite.

The catkin was initially suspicious because of the human's gorgeous black dress, but after looking at her actions, everyone could feel that she was just a well-groomed slave.

Kali snorted. "Why does it matter who owned it in the past? This cauldron shouldn't be able to fetch more than fifteen High-level Parus. You are inflating the price by more than ten times."

The catkin's polite smile flattered. 'Of course, I inflated the items. If you can buy Heaven-ranked items, what is High-level Parus to you? Do you have to be so stingy?'

However, he didn't voice it aloud. "That's too cheap, dear customer. How about seventy high-level Parus? That would be a price in the middle and quite just."

Kali's smile under the veil disappeared. "Look at my face."

The catkin's eyes moved toward the veiled face that showed only a pair of enchanting verdant green eyes. Then, Kali enunciated. "Do I look stupid?"

Although her tone was gentle, the feeling it gave was quite chilling.

The catkin was stumped by Kali's powerful momentum and didn't know how to answer the sudden question.

Kali then said with a chilling chuckle. "Since my face doesn't have the word stupid written on it, why are you treating me as such? Do you think we are easy to bully or something?"

The catkin reflexively lifted his hand to wipe his forehead, only to find that he was drenched. 'W-Why is this person so scary?'

Kali snorted and was about to ask for another employee. However, she felt someone approaching them with her spiritual sense.

Yasenia, Evelyn, Kali, Tatyana, and Angel turned their heads, dispelling the tense atmosphere. Ghana sighed in relief. 'I thought a fight was about to break out- Crap.'

She couldn't help but curse when she saw who had caught their attention. 'Why is this spoiled brat here?'

The person approaching had luxurious clothes and a charming smile on his lips. His black hair pointed wolf ears, and his tail was enough to know his race.

On his side, another five youths walked with fawning smiles, and behind him, a group of guards from different races followed, clad in armor.
