There he was in the middle of the labyrinth of people all exchanging one thing or the other, the kragg market is one of the cheapest exchange centers within the four major regions in aethon
Stalls have different arrays ranging from raw products to by product to finished products each meeting targeted customers and today it is Asher's turn
He walked up to a stall "long time no see" his voice sounded almost delight, a woman gaze lifted immediately beam as he arose from her crouch position "you came back" her voice and childish "what do you have for me today" she rubbed her palm together he patient wearing
Asher put down his sack and opened there were neatly folded skins of the creatures he kill but before he give a run down of what he had "you got three matured male felhare and two females" her eyes widened as she noticed the ash and black fur "you hunted a feliope" he gaze flickering between awe and shock "yeah it was kind of easy although it took a lot of skill and planning" the funny thing was the way he said is so laidback until he noticed the look in the lady's eyes "what happened?" he gaze shifting from part of his body to another then to his surrounding until something at the back his mind resurfaced his smack "could you give me the details of the felilope?"
"A felilope is an uncommon aberrant, mostly residing at the top parts of the spine and come down once in a while to hunt when prey is sparse and for you to get this many is incredible" her hands felt each pelt "I'll give you fifty shardcoins since this is my first time seeing this up close and for the felhhare thirty-seven shardcoins"
Asher froze his eyebrow raise still finding the prices a bit outrageous "aren't those prices a bit high" his voice shuddered "I understand where you're coming from since you are not in the marketing domain"
She straighten her back placing her hands on the desk of her stall "two weeks ago the demand for high quality accessories like fur coats, monocles made from the eye socket of any creature from magical above skyrocketed but the amount of hunters which shot up a hundred fold instantly drop few days" her tone grave her gaze stern
"You brought me an uncommon aberrant, the two factors consider the classification and type of creature" she explained a little more catching him up on the current situation
"Okay, let me try to understand this, there was a high demand on accessories, hunters increased and foolishly went to hunt for high level creatures to get higher pay, and here I thought I was in a pickle"
The lady giggled "what can I say people need to survive" she let out a stressed sigh as she straighten up "so are the prices okay?" asking while picking the pelts of skins "well not that I can argue with the system and besides it's to my advantage more money for me" he spoke helplessly
Not long she came over pouring in the last set of coins "that Is eighty-seven shardcoins in total" she pulled the two coin at the end of the pouch sealing it
He hands stretch forth collecting the pouch "thank you" he weighed the pouch and a satisfied look appeared on his face as he hung the pouch on his waist and then cover it with his cloak
"I better get going before another drama picks up again" frustration swelled in his face and agitation shimmer in his eyes
He looked at him understanding what he said and nodded, Asherpicked up his bag nodded and left
He walked a while through the market he came across a chubby man swinging his clever at a huge chunk of meat reducing to smaller sizes after which he took a sashimi knife and further reduced it then he picked up pre-made stick and skewer a chip of meat followed by a quarter of a corn and the pattern repeated twice before placing it over zhrakai for the cooking process.
After whole extravagant display culinary finesse the gaze of the chubby fell on Asher because his gaze felt like needles pricking his skin "can I help you" his irritation could be heard clear from his tone as his eyes narrowed
"Yes you can" he began walking towards the stall "can you perhaps point me to where I could sell some kilos of meat" he spoke his movement halted at the front of the stall, the aroma emitting from the stick cause his stomach to cry in excitement which made his face turn red
"Take a seat" he gestured with his hand to a settee as his turned back to the food and flipped it over meanwhile Asher walked with his sacks to the settee and settled .
Not long the chubby man came with a plate having four piece of the skewered meat and set it in front of Asher "eat up"
Asher sharply inhaled as he took the cold end of one of the stick blew on it and took a bite out of it, the sensation in his mouth was indiscernible maybe it an overstatement because he has been eating bland for quite a while and eating something properly flavored
"What is this" he said with after taste subduing his mouth "my friend this is called Thikaru and it is made from the meat of an ursocer imported from the terraverde region."
"If you are wondering what kind they are creatures they are ,they have thick fur, they hibernate for three to eight months, they have branch like horns, they are capable of pushing a tree down and are excellent swimmers"
"You are well informed" Asher said cutting him off while swallowing the last piece of meat "in this kind of business I need to know what I'm dealing with and selling to my customers"
"I see that" Asher nodded his head in agreement "so how much does it cost" he asked bracing himself for the worst
"8shardcoin per stick" the chubby man answered Asher stared and as if sensing the confusion "the mean you ate was an uncommon mundane" the realization hit Asher as he didn't argue and paid.
The chubby man came back wiping his hand on his approach "now you said something about selling meat" the atmosphere tensed as he sat across Asher "well then let's what quality you brought."
