The Master Of Elements

ME 48 Greenwood City (1)

The queue to enter the city snaked long enough in front of the gate of Greenwood City. Not only was the carriage queue, but Matthew could see the human queue was also the same length.

Perhaps because this was the capital so the people who would enter Greenwood City were far more than Suiria City. John took the two children to follow the shortest line of the three human queues there.

People around them are heard talking to each other. From their talk Matthew learned that tomorrow is a shopping week that is routinely held every last week at the beginning of the month.

In each shopping week, many caravans of traders gathered and peddled their merchandise. Not only that, some farmers around Greenwood City will also peddle their wares at this monthly event.

In the shopping week, the items sold will be so diverse that it will be easy to find certain items. Then, the price of goods in this shopping week is cheaper than usual.

This is what caused the queue to enter the snaking city as it is today. Everyone around Greenwood City rushed here to be able to follow this shopping week. Most of them choose to do monthly shopping in the shopping week because the price is much cheaper than usual.

“It just so happens that we get here when the shopping week will be held. In that case, we can find entertainment by visiting there.” Said John.

“Are there a lot of good food later Grandpa John?” jasper asked with sparkling eyes.

“Of course. There will be many food vendors in the shopping week. So don't miss this. In addition, there will definitely be an auction later.”

“Usually auctions are done when the shopping week is done. So, we can try to see what items will be sold. There will usually be good items at the auction later. So we can't miss this.” Obviously John.

“You are right Sir. Tomorrow night Ateoviel Auction House will conduct an auction. I heard they're going to auction off some Diamond-level weapons from Lord Orius. You've heard of Mr. Orius, haven't you?”

“The most famous blacksmith in the continent of Andradius. I heard Ateoviel Auction House managed to persuade Mr. Orius to sell some of his work in their place.” said someone standing in front of Ken.

“Create that? I guess it was just a rumor spread by Ateoviel.” Auction House Ask someone else who is on the right.

“It's not a rumor. That's a fact, a fact. A friend of my cousin works for the Collins family. My cousin heard from his friend that the Collins family sold some of their assets in order to have enough money to fight in the auction to seize the weapon.”

“So all that is not a rumor. Just look at those trains. Many of the carriages had the insignia of a noble family. I'm sure they came to Greenwood City to follow the auction.” Invuh someone who is in line.

The man puffed his chest slightly after saying so. He thought that it was quite proud for him to know such information accurately.

John nodded his head slowly at the conversation of the people around him. “It looks like tomorrow will be a pretty fun entertainment tone. Children tomorrow I will invite you to bring an entertainment.” John said with a grin adorning his lips.

Hearing John's remark, Matthew was confident that tomorrow there would be drama at Ateoviel Auction House. Didn't all the drama and fighting John always think of as entertainment? A little Matthew could imagine what would happen at the auction house tomorrow night.

All of that will not be far from the name that shows off wealth. There will definitely be a lot of intimidation done at the auction. Doesn't this kind of thing happen often. Matthew often reads novels that tell a section about the auction house.

Most of the events that are there are showing off the strength of a family in a way to enter the wealth they have. Although little Matthew already knew what the drama was, but he could not wait to see the auction.

Maybe he will find something new that he has not met during this trip. He hopes that tomorrow's shopping week will give another surprise for him.

….

The streets of Greenwood City are seen on the street by train. The trains seem to be going slowly. Pedestrians are also seen crowded the shoulder of the road. Seeing that there was a sense of amazement in Jasper and Ellie's eyes. They did not expect to see many people gathered like this.

“Grandfather John, can we get lodging? Just look at the many who come to Greenwood City. I'm sure the inns here are full. It will be very difficult to find an empty inn.” Ask Matthew.

Usually if there is a big event in a city, all the inns will be full, rented by those who come from outside the city. Matthew understood this.

This is what happened in his home world. There, in the event of an international level sports competition, the hotels around the city where the race was held will be fully rented by supporters.

Matthew is sure here the same. With the big auction held by the Ateoviel pawn house, there will be many people who visit this city. Moreover, the auction was held simultaneously with the holding of the monthly shopping week.

With all those factors, it was obvious it would be very difficult to find an inn. Matthew and his two younger siblings wanted to get as much lodging as possible. They want to clean themselves up in a decent way.

Bathe with running water instead of rubbing the face like the two days they did.

“You guys just calm down. If we don't get a room, I can take you to my friend's place. I'm sure he has plenty of empty rooms for us. I think there are still some inns that have empty rooms. But their rooms are a little more expensive than the others.”

“No problem Grandpa John. As usual, we will pay for our own room. It doesn't matter if it's a little more expensive. Most importantly, we don't sleep on the side of the road. I really want to clean myself so, whatever it is not a problem.” Imbuh Ellie's.

Paying a little more for a comfortable place is not a big deal for Ellie. From Matthew, Ellie knew that their parents gave her enough pocket money. Paying dearly for comfort will not make them fall poor.

“Good.” Said John.

The man then took the three along the existing road. If John had taken them through the narrow alleys while they were in Suiria, this time the man took the public road.

This way Matthew can easily see the shops in this world. The buildings in Greenwood City are dominated by stone materials.

Quite different from the buildings that Matthew saw earlier which was dominated by materials from wood. Therefore the buildings here could be towering up to ten floors.

Not only that, the road here is also made of thin rocks arranged in such a way as to make the road in the city flat. It was just like the asphalt that existed in his world back then.

With that rock, passing through the streets of this city, by train, would be much more convenient than the streets outside the city walls that are only land.
