Market

(Twilight's Twelve Movements)

"There are quite a few people..."

Only when Bai Ye and Texas arrived at their destination did they realize there were far more people here than they had expected.

Vendors, tourists, villagers... The bustling market and lively atmosphere could instantly pull travelers from the silence and solitude of the wilderness back into the civilized world.

After all, this was the only nomadic village in the area, and with the market being held, it naturally attracted plenty of visitors.

Most of them were tourists. With the knightly competitions held by Four Cities United nearing the most exciting Special Championships, huge numbers of tourists poured into Kazimierz every day.

The number of visitors to villages near the cities had also begun to surge.

Most of the market stall owners were Kuranta, clearly locals, while the tourists came from all manner of races.

"Bai Ye is rarely like this."

"Everything just feels so fresh... I've never seen anything like this before." Bai Ye nodded, then pulled Texas along as they wandered from stall to stall.

Compared to the sharp, imposing figure he cut in battle, it was like night and day.

Taking out her terminal, Texas snapped a picture of Bai Ye and saved it to her
