I Married A Disabled Tyrant After Transmigrating-Chapter 24
Sixteen Dragons (1)
The ox cart wasn’t fast. Wearing the curtained hat, Mu Wanwan was still able to clearly see the scenery outside through the layer of thin white gauze.
The tyrant’s manor was surrounded by high walls on all sides, beyond which was still a layer of enchantment. One had to have an authenticating token to be able to penetrate the enchantment to reach the outside world.
The enchantment was nearly transparent and almost impossible to see, but when one passed through it, one would still be able to feel a slight difference. Although Hong Ye appeared to be very lively, she didn’t speak much along the way. Only when Mu Wanwan asked her something would she pick and choose what to answer.
There were very few households living outside of the tyrant’s manor. The ox cart travelled for more than half an hour before they saw others going to and from the marketplace from a distance.
It was still early, and most of the people were entering the market. Mu Wanwan noticed that quite a few had come carrying baskets either in their arms or on shoulder poles. From the looks of it, they seem to have come to trade.
It was when the ox cart gradually grew near that Mu Wanwan could see that there were quite a few elven handlers outside the market. Every person who wanted to enter had to stop in front of them for a while. Mu Wanwan’s heart skipped a beat—it couldn’t be that one still had to pay a fee to enter a market, right? Who could stand that?
But before she could recover, she saw Hong Ye stop the ox cart, then raised her eyes and smiled at her, “Madam, go in and browse the market then. I’ll find a place to feed the ox, then come back and wait for you.”
Mu Wanwan was a bit surprised, “Hong Ye, aren’t you going in with me?”
Hong Ye took the ox reins, “Madam, I would like to go in with you too, but if you take me into the market with the ox cart, you will have to pay five silver coins more.”
Mu Wanwan, “…There’s even a fee for the ox?”
Hong Ye rubbed the ox’s head. “This is a regular ox, so the fee is only three silver coins. If it is of a higher grade, the fee would be even more.”
Clearly the original owner’s memory of the market is not what the entry fee ah, how this side of the money, so pit?
Mu Wanwan, “……”
In the markets of the original owner’s memories, there was clearly no such thing as entrance fees. Why were there entrance fees here? Wasn’t this too much?
Perhaps it was because her expression was too amusing, and Hong Ye couldn’t keep from laughing. “Madam, the elven market’s entrance fee is already very cheap. For weak Rank 1 cultivators like us, it’s only two silver coins, and for those ant-like regular mortals, it’s only as low as two copper coins. But at the market run by dwarves and humans, we would need to pay three silver coins.”
Mu Wanwan was rendered silent. After parting from Hong Ye, she headed off towards the market’s main entrance.
Actually, she was a little nervous. She had only seen the description of elves in TV dramas and novels. Even in the original owner’s memories, the number of elves she had seen over the years could be counted with one hand.
The population of elves wasn’t exactly small, but they were not a common sight.
As for the reason for that, it would be necessary to give an introduction of the distribution of this continent——
The distribution of this continent was very peculiar. It looked like a large cat’s foot; the largest part was the tyrant’s territory, the territory of the dragon race. The four separate little “toe beans” were four territories, respectively occupied by the demon clan, the witch tribe, the human cultivation world, and the alliance of special lifeforms. Seas spread out between the five territories, and at the edge of the entire world, was an abyss with no visible bottom. This deep abyss was the abyssal devils’ paradise.
Only the five races with strong racial strength were worthy of having their own territory.
