Chapter 886: Crazy merchants (1)



When we walked into the town, the unhappy mood disappeared without a trace.

Ariel's eyes opened wide and she excitedly looked around.

I had been worried that she would forget what I had said and would start talking, but it seemed that she was too excited for that.

However, it wasn't as if we could just let her run around on her own.

So I had made sure to put Cecilia, Moon, and Veronica by her side so that they would be able to control her if anything happened. They were already holding her arms just in case she tried to run off, but it didn't seem like that would happen.

The look on her face made it seem like her brain had short circuited from the excitement that she was feeling, so it didn't seem like she was going to run off on her own.

It was like a kid going to an amusement park for the first time.

They were just too stunned by the sights to move or make a sound.

But I knew that this was temporary, so I gave a look to Cecilia, Moon, and Veronica to make sure to hold her properly for when she recovered.

I knew that it was only a matter of time before she came back to her senses.

As expected, Ariel tried to run off when she came back to her senses, but she was already being held so she couldn't do anything. Then when she realized that she was being held, she opened her mouth as if she was about to complain, but she couldn't say anything in the end.

They were using one hand each to hold her, so they had another hand free for this situation.

All of them covered her mouth so that she wouldn't be able to say anything.

Ariel looked at the three holding her with an aggrieved look, but Cecilia just calmly said, "As long as you don't run off and you write what you want to say, we'll let you go."

Ariel didn't look happy about this at first, but she eventually agreed to these terms. The first thing that she did after she was released was, "Why are you doing this?" Cecilia just calmly said, "We're making sure that you don't cause any trouble." "Isn't this going too far?" Ariel wrote with an aggrieved look on her face.

Cecilia once again calmly said, "If you cause too much trouble, do you think that you'll be allowed to stay here?"

Once we arrived at the market, I couldn't help being surprised by the scene that was in front of

us.

This was a scene that I had never seen before, even with all the time that I've spent in this world.

The only word that could describe this was...

Crazy.

These merchants had completely gone crazy with the way that they were acting.

There weren't that many people in the market and it could be understood why.

That was because all those that came to the market were completely swarmed by merchants who wanted to peddle their goods.

We weren't an exception to this, but we had proper guards so the merchants weren't able to approach us at all. Though the way that they tried to approach us had even more fervor than when they tried to approach the other people that visited the market.

Perhaps it was because they could see that I was much richer than the others that were at this market.

After all, I was the only one that arrived with an escort like this.

So I had to have a certain amount of status to have this kind of escort.

The way that the merchants looked at us was like they were hunters that were looking at prey.

They looked like they were on the hunt for money.

But it didn't make any sense at all as to why they were so desperate...

Or at least I didn't understand why they were acting like this at first.

It didn't take long for me to realize what the reason was.
