Chapter 887: Crazy merchants (2)



Simply put, they were just desperate to sell their goods.

That didn't really seem like a good explanation for the crazy way that the merchants acted, but it was the main reason why they were acting like this.

The biggest factor was the fact that they weren't able to transport their goods because of the water monster that was in the Kleen River.

As such, they had no choice but to find another way to get rid of their goods.

It wasn't enough to sell it to the villages in the surrounding area since there were only so many villagers and there were so many merchants that were here. Many of them had similar goods, so it wasn't as if all of them could sell to the villagers in the surrounding area.

At the same time, it wasn't as if the villagers would even be able to buy all of their goods in the first place.

So their only hope was the market in this town.

This town was a place that many people passed through, so there was the chance that someone would buy the items that they had.

Though they were ignoring the fact that most people were merchants that most likely had the same goods as them since they wanted to sell them to other places with the same needs. It wasn't as if they would need to buy goods that they already had...

At this point, they were just desperate to get rid of the goods that they couldn't sell.

That was why they were all going crazy like this.

I couldn't help feeling a bit awkward since I was related to this matter.

It wasn't as if I was the one that had caused this problem.

Rather, I was even the one that had solved this problem by taking care of Ariel who was attacking the merchant ships.

It was just that I felt awkward bringing the cause of all this trouble to this market.

The funny thing was that the cause of these problems didn't seem concerned at all as she watched the merchants going crazy with an amused look on her face.

The problem was that I really didn't have a need for any of the things that they showed me, or else I might have bought a few things.

I had hoped that I could buy a few things that seemed interesting, but that wasn't the case.

I didn't know what I was expecting from merchants that sold items to villages all around the kingdom.

I thought that they might have one or two good things that I could spend a bit extra on, but that didn't seem to be the case.

It really seemed like I wouldn't be able to find anything to buy.

However, that wasn't the case.

That was because there was someone who was quite good at spending my money.

She was silent at first, but then she started gushing over the things that the merchants showed her even though they were nothing more than ordinary things.

"What is this?"

"Are you saying that all humans use this thing?"

"This must be a work of human art, it's so interesting!"

The way that she said all of this made it clear that she wanted to buy everything.

The only problem was...this person was the mermaid Ariel who didn't have any human money.

It wasn't as if she had thought about bringing human money along since she didn't know what to expect from this trip. At the same time, it seemed like the mermaid money that she brought was completely useless since the merchants didn't recognize it.

So the only thing that Ariel could do was turn to me.

She looked at me with a pleading look, like she was asking me for money.

I gave a sigh before pulling out my wallet.

I didn't really want to buy anything useless like this, but the only thing that I could do was think of this as a necessary fund to befriend a mermaid.
