Chapter 230 -228-Trade at the Meeting
For Ethan, everything about the meeting was utterly fascinating.
And when Rose, seated at the head of the table, announced that the meeting would be getting down to business, it was almost visibly evident how everyone sprang to life, making the gathering feel as lively as a marketplace.
Everyone became visibly animated, making the gathering feel akin to a bustling marketplace. However, there remained an underlying sense of order.
Oriel, seated beside Ethan, leaned in and explained, "Ethan, the primary purpose of these gatherings is for trade, to seek assistance from one another. Often, especially for those from different regions, gathering specific ingredients for a recipe or raw materials for a weapon can pose challenges."
Ethan nodded, resonating with the sentiment.
Soon enough, many people at the meeting struck deals with one another.
Seizing the moment, Oriel expressed his need for powerful materials and showcased the Flamefruit he had cultivated, which piqued the interest of many.
One by one, they displayed their unique resources, widening Ethan’s horizons.
"Ethan, is there something specific you’re after?" Oriel inquired with a grin, accepting a rare material handed to him by another attendee.
The question left Ethan momentarily stumped.
His list of needs was extensive. Be it rare forging materials, concoction recipes, blueprints for formidable structures, and more — all were desirable to Ethan.
