Chapter 144: Lively City
“There are regular folks around now?” Li Lang muttered as he watched the lively streets of Polarity City.
It caused his two companions to take a second look at all the people around.
“You’re right,” Long Yi agreed. “There was barely anyone here the last time we were here. I can’t believe it’s changed so much over the years.”
“Hmm? It’s always like this whenever I come,” Sima Xue said.
The contradictions caused the group to fall silent for a brief moment before Li Lang made a sound that indicated he remembered something important.
“That’s right! They said mortals were usually not allowed in here unless there were events going on where menial workers were needed.”
“I’ll g-go inquire about it l-later,” Wei Ping offered.
“Event?” Sima Xue muttered. “Oh, you mean the annual auctions? It happens over two months out of the year. I guess I normally only do come around this time.”
“Auction? Care to elaborate?”
“Sure, let’s get to our inn first, okay?”
With the explanation delayed, the group slowly traveled through the busy streets. Once they got off the central road, the smaller streets were so crowded that the carriages moved at the same pace as the pedestrians.
It gave ample time for the trio to witness the city in its new form.
