Chapter 847 Exploring The Market
-----
"Cassim! Don't get too far into the streets, or you're going to get lost!" Draugann, the old and wise lady from Benladann's tribe, one of the few that survived was reprimanding the adventurous Cassim.
She wasn't that old-looking now though, much like with Rakasha, old people can grow youthful as they Rank Up. After she went all the way to Rank 5 her body and appearance slowly began to grow more youthful, instead of the old lady now she looked like a tall and muscular lady at her fifties or even forty's, most of her wrinkles gone and replaced by soft skin and muscles. She had even been exercising a lot. It is rather disgusting to admit it but she's quite sexy. She still acts like an old hag though.
"But grandma Draugann, I wanna explore!" Said Cassim while running around her.
"Uuugh, you're such a little and pesky cat! Come here!" Draugann caught Cassim and sat him down over her shoulders. She was way bigger as a pure Ice Giant, so he easily was able to sit over her shoulders.
And yeah, about the population of the entire city, it was a massive mix. If the Orange Forest Fiefdom was varied this felt like we were not even in our continent. After having gone through so many areas with ice and snow, and finally reaching the more warmer places, things truly changed a lot, especially in the variety of population. While in the polar regions only ice giants inhabit most of it due to their immunity to cold temperatures, in here it was a massive amount of people from all races.
There were also many half-races, half ice giants and humans, half beast-kin, ice giant beast-kin, Majin humans, Majin ice giants, and more. It was a massive combination of ethnicity and population. This was perhaps due to how old this port was and how it has been connecting to the other continents for hundreds if not thousands of years. The population all around the world has reached this area and left their races. Those that decided to live in the port ended having children and so on, making more and more of the population into other races than ice giants.
Although I would still bet that over 50% of the population are still Ice Giants, other races are very common everywhere, and because they make such a big part of the population, for so many years, discrimination against other races might be nonexistent as well. Everyone already was used to one another. Although the smaller races always stared at us pure ice giants because of how tall we can get. Our blue skin doesn't help at not bringing attention, and those with horns such as us also are regarded as "noble blood" so we bring even more attention.
Nonetheless, we explored the market, which brought me back memories of when I did the same thing back in Orange Forest. We explored a lot and found many interesting things there, the same was here. I couldn't help but find new things at every corner. Even as a god, it didn't meant that anything that wasn't "divine" somehow lost value, it was still very valuable, after all I cannot just create items and resources out of nowhere. And also materials and magic items can help me produce spirits more easily without having to spend so much time and mana.
Most importantly, I was very interested in something a handsome elf man with blonde hair was selling, it was a large assortment of magical seeds, fruits, vegetables, and medicinal herbs like I had never seen before! Although with Benladra we got the power to nourish plants, we don't have the power to suddenly create any type of plants and seeds we want, we are pretty much stuck with what we have found in the Orange Forest Fiefdom and in the other previous sects and lands we have visited, but this was a golden opportunity to acquire brand new seeds for our farms.
The elf quickly noticed our interest, as he smiled cheekily and approached us.
"Oh my, what do we have here? Aren't you a beautiful family? Look at those two girls, so big and radiant with magical power! My elven eyes cannot lie to me, your girls got a bright future ahead! Are you interested in my merchandise?" He wondered.
"Yes, these seeds and plants… I've never seen them before, did you bring them from another continent?" I wondered. Benladra nodded at my words.
"Why yes, my good man. I brought them all from the continent of elves and fairies, of nature and splendor, Alfheim!" Laughed the elf. "My homeland is so beautiful and filled with nature that nobody cared when I picked up a bit of its wondrous nature and brought here, to share it with you. Are you interested in my merchandise? I got a large quantity of a wide assortment of plants, vegetables, fruits, and seeds, they're all preserved with Life Attribute magic, so they can last weeks without rotting."
"Amazing…"
I quickly began to look at everything in detail, thanks to the power of the Divine System, I was able to appraise the merchandise and see what they truly were. It was a wide assortment of wondrous things indeed.
