As for ordinary humans.
There were actually quite a few on the street, but every single one of them looked hurried, as if unwilling to stay here for long. And these humans were dressed very strangely as well.
Simply all kinds of weird.
There were European dieval styles, so who straight up wore armor, and even so dressed in a sci-fi, futuristic style. There were also a few wearing ordinary T-shirts and shorts.
Anyway, if Ethan was not certain that he was currently in the Mist World, he might even have thought that he had wandered into so kind of ani convention or sothing.
[Traveler’s Inn Free Market: Anyone can set up a stall here, anyone can shop here, and this place is a no-rules zone, so there are lots of black-market goods for sale.]
'Traveler’s Inn Free Market?'
Ethan was genuinely shocked, 'Can this even still be considered an inn?'
'But forget it…'
'This world was a strange place to begin with. Whatever exists here is normal.'
Since he was already here, he might as well accept it. Ethan stopped overthinking it.
Since he was already here, he might as well take a look around.
Since he was already here, he might as well buy a few things to take back as souvenirs.
Relaxing his mindset, Ethan started strolling around the free market.
The very first stall closest to him had a vendor who was a…
'Treant?'
It had a thin, long body, entirely brown, like it was made of old vines twisted together. On top of its head were a few leaves, its “hair.”
Its arms and legs were also long and thin, like vines stretching outward.
Like a human, it had fingers, but only three.
And those three fingers looked absurdly long, like a hand ford from three slender vines. Yet when Ethan saw it pick up a round green cake from the stall, its movents were extrely nimble.
[Treant: A symbiotic organism of a Tree Spirit. It normally parasitizes the Tree Spirit, drawing nutrients from it. At the sa ti, it helps Tree Spirits, which cannot move freely, do many things, including going to Traveler’s Inn to set up stalls selling grass cakes made by the Tree Spirits, earning Dragon Coins to purchase nutrients needed by the Tree Spirits.]
Ding!
A creature that looked very much like a pig pulled out a Dragon Coin and bought ten grass cakes.
After the treant took the Dragon Coin, it tossed the money into a vine-woven jar on the stall.
A crisp sound of coins being added rang out.
Ethan looked at those grass cakes. Each one looked like grass mixed with so kind of flour or powder, kneaded together, flattened, and baked.
And the grass had not even been ground up.
When the pig bit into one, Ethan even saw several long strands of grass sticking out of the broken cake, swaying in the air.
'This thing can even be considered food?'
Ethan was speechless.
But the treant selling grass cakes had unexpectedly good business.
Besides pigs, there were also so humans in cloaks, even goblins, and even dwarves coming over to buy grass cakes from it.
One dwarf even spent ten Dragon Coins to buy a hundred grass cakes.
'So rich!'
[Grass Cake: A low-quality cake baked from a grass called at-Fragrance Grass gathered by Tree Spirits, combined with powder ground from cassava. Aside from filling your stomach, this cake basically has no taste at all.]
[PS: Although it tastes bad, it wins on being cheap. One Dragon Coin buys ten of them. It is one of the essential dry rations for travelers.]
'Heh! Heh!'
Ethan was speechless. People actually eat this stuff. Even if the treant gave it to him for free, he would not want to eat it.
(Treant: I think you’re dreaming.)
Ethan continued walking forward.
Many stalls displayed all sorts of strange things. For example, one stall sold nothing but powders, red and yellow powders.
At first, Ethan thought they were seasonings or pignts of so sort, until he saw the prompts.
[Highly Toxic Lizard Mummy Powder: An important ingredient for making antidote potions and curse potions.]
[Phantom Demon Flower Pollen: Inhaling even a tiny amount will cause severe hallucinations. An important ingredient for making illusion magic.]
[Blue-Blooded Human Blood: Blood extracted from a living blue-blooded human. Can be used to make rapid recovery potions. A very expensive potion ingredient.]
[Mummy Bone Powder: Bone powder scraped from mummies, containing a small amount of dried flesh powder. An important ingredient for ti magic.]
[Crying Bird Tongue Powder: Cut off the tongue of a crying bird and it will no longer cry. It is said this powder can effectively cure children of excessive crying, making it a top-grade dicine.]
[Screaming Mushroom…]
All kinds of powders turned out to be materials for dark potions.
Goosebumps instantly rose all over Ethan’s body, and he hurriedly left that stall. Next, he saw a stall dedicated to selling ores. But perhaps iron ore was too cheap, because there was not even any iron ore there.
The stall owner was a goblin.
'Looks like goblins in this world are basically professional miners.'
Ethan also saw a stall specializing in selling mushrooms, another selling all kinds of strange flowers, and another selling colorful insects.
Anyway, there were stalls of every kind.
Ethan even saw a stall selling skill scrolls.
[Alchemy: Based on the principle of equivalent exchange, turns so substances into other substances. A not very practical spell. PS: But there are always people who dream of getting rich overnight and want to try this spell.]
[Red-Yellow-Green Color-Changing Spell: Can change the color of your house or your food. A very popular ho decoration spell.]
[Soft and Fluffy Spell: Can make so things soft and fluffy. A must-have spell for housewives.]
[Completely Useless Freezing Ability Spellbook: Can freeze so things, but the freezing range depends on magical affinity, unless used by a great mage with strong ice affinity. Verdict: lives up to its na, completely useless.]
[Jet Device Blueprint: Can be used to make a watering sprayer for flowers. If you put so gasoline in it, maybe it can be used as a flying device, but who knows? Maybe not.]
[Advanced Backpack Blueprint: A gigantic backpack with 100,000 inventory slots. Absolutely your best helper for ho and travel.]
[……]
All kinds of scrolls were laid out before Ethan, making his eyes turn red with envy.
But after asking a bit, he found out that even the cheapest one, the so-called [Completely Useless Freezing Ability Spellbook], actually cost 50 Dragon Coins.
A price he absolutely could not afford.
