Misty Town

The Majestic Wall of Misty Town is a formidable barrier constructed from enchanted stone and ancient, sturdy timber. Standing at a towering height of 9 meters and extending around the perimeter of the town, the wall is imbued with magical runes that glow faintly in the dark, providing both physical protection and a mystical barrier against the Monster Tide.

Aaron was amazed by the majestic wall in front of him.

" You there show your resident token. Stop standing like an idiot midway."

A rough voice awakened Aaron. He immediately put his hand inside the bag and pulled out the resident token. With this token, one could easily enter and exit the town without having to pay taxes.

" Sigh! Commoner. Go in."

With that, the guard returned the token back to Aaron.

Aaron bowed and said," Thank you."

Saying so he hurriedly walked inside. As soon as he felt a sense of security all of a sudden.

Not only that he could also see the houses within Misty Town are a blend of rustic charm and magical craftsmanship. Built from locally sourced wood and stone, the homes are adorned with intricate carvings and stained glass windows depicting scenes from the town's rich history.

There were several cottages (single-story) and townhouses (two-story). What amazed him even more was that each house was carefully planned and built so that there was enough space to walk and even for vehicles to pass.

He also found that the town's security is entrusted to a dedicated and well-trained militia, dressed in gleaming armor and bearing the town's crest, these soldiers stand vigilant at the town gates and patrol the walls. There were also some of them at every 500 meters maintaining the security of the town.

As we walked deeper he watched the bustling marketplace, where vendors from near and far come to sell their wares. The market is a lively hub of activity, filled with colorful stalls and the enticing aromas of freshly baked goods and exotic spices.

" Buy cheap clothes for 2 copper coins."

" Buy freshly baked bread for 2 for 1 copper coins."

" Come and look at the fresh vegetables. Smell it, if you want then taste it. After that, you can buy it."

Listening to the sounds around him, Aaron felt that he had come to the roadside stalls in his previous life. Unknowingly a drop of tear fell from the corner of his eyes.

He wiped the tear and then walked the other way.

In the bustling heart of Misty Town lies a unique and macabre marketplace known as the Grizzly Bazaar. This specialized market caters to those seeking the remains of various creatures and monsters from the Misty Forest and beyond.

The Grizzly Bazaar is situated near the town's northern gate, where adventurers frequently enter and exit on their quests. The market is housed within a large, sturdy wooden structure with reinforced stone pillars, ensuring it can withstand the weight and presence of the monstrous goods it holds.

Numerous vendors have set up their stalls within the Bazaar, each specializing in different types of monster remains and offering a range of goods.

" Holy crap it's so bloody". While saying so to himself, Aaron watched the stall in front of him while pinching his nose.

There were Beast Butchers, these vendors specialize in the flesh and bones of large beasts. Their stalls are filled with neatly organized cuts of meat, skeletal fragments, and preserved organs.

As he walked further in, he once again exclaimed," F*ck, what the hell is going on with this place? What kind of things are those glowing things? Won't they also come out from a monster body!!"

Other than beast butchers there were also Mystic Collectors. These merchants deal in the magical components harvested from mystical creatures. Their stalls are draped in dark velvet and lit with glowing crystals, creating an aura of mystery.

As he walked further inside, he was once again chilled in his heart when he saw the bones of strange monsters. Especially that lifeless skull that was pilled up. It looked like they were looking at him.

He found that this stall was of Bone Traders. These vendors focus on the bones and skeletal structures of monsters, often used in crafting and enchantment. Their stalls are lined with neatly arranged bones of various sizes and shapes.

Walking further inside he found hides and pelts of strange monsters that he had never seen in his life.

These stalls were of Pelt and Hide merchants. These vendors offer the hides, pelts, and furs of various creatures, known for their durability and unique properties.

Aaron could see people wearing various kinds of outfits all over the place. Some of them were adventurers while others were alchemists, enchanters, and even blacksmiths making a deal with the shopkeeper.

What was strange was that he couldn't hear any words. Just when he was puzzled suddenly he heard a voice in his mind.

" You there, do you need to sell the Green Snake? How about you sell it to me. Although Green Snakes are common monsters, I will buy them for 1 gold coin."

Aaron was startled by the sudden voice in his head. He looked around and found that in front of him was a shabby stall. He thought for a second and replied in a calm tone," Nope. I will sell it on other stalls."

" You brat, well how about I pay you 2 gold coins..."

The sound once again came, but Aaron, this time with a resolute look on his face, walked away.

" 10 gold coins. This is the maximum I will give."

The mysterious voice sounded again. So Aaron stopped and said in a calm and collected tone," Deal."

While inwardly he was already sweating. He knew that 100 copper coins = 1 silver coin. 100 silver coins = 1 gold coin. The gold coins were the highest currency he had come in contact with. Moreover, 1 gold coin was enough for a family of three to live a lavish life for three months.

At this time, he was already thinking about what he should do with the gold coins he would get now. Should he find suitable bones to craft a Slingshot or something else?
