Plot Of Land Part 1

Currently, I was standing with two other people. One was Sophie, and the other was Thurul. We were looking at a site at the entrance of the east side slums that Thurul had found out from his friend that his friend wanted to sell. It housed a great deal of shanties and was being sold cheaply at only ten gold.

"This is the place?" I asked to confirm that I was looking at the right place. From what I could see, there were at least one hundred families living on this land. Some of them came out and looked at Thurul and I with worried expressions.

"Yep. My old friend said he had bought this land over thirty years ago but never did anything with it. He said he would sell it to me for cheap, but we have to deal with those who are taking up residence on it." Thurul replied. 

"Thurul, do me a favor and look after Sophie for a moment." I wanted to take a walk around the shanties to see the lay of the land and speak with the people there.
