Department Store

Because the market had gotten larger, the clothing and garments had separated into a new Fabric Store building near the Bookstore.

Here, they were introduced to various types of cloth like hemp cloth, linen, and cotton cloth. Having all these at the same time were already impressive for a village without the new Clothing Store system building.

Usually, a village would have 1 choice of fabric, and they were usually rough. If the nobles wanted better clothes, they’d either go to towns or wait for their caravans to return, if they had one.

If they didn’t, then they prayed to the skies that a caravan would see their little village and pass by, but that happened very few times a year, especially if there was no town or city nearby for the caravans to use as a destination.

"Actually, we also have another… but it’s for super customers only," the salesperson said, looking very hush hush. "Since you’re planning on buying several bolts, I’ll tell you."

They ’subtly’ went to the racks at the back, revealing smooth and somewhat shimmery fabric that made their eyes widen.

"This…"

Silk?

Although the stock was small and it was much more expensive than the others, this was definitely silk.

Sipa looked at his boss with wide eyes. He was one of the ’experts’ of this in their team, so whenever they had to buy fabric, he was always with them.

Seeing such a thing here took him aback.

"This could rival the Cloth cities…" he whispered, lightly touching the fabric with his hands.

Eloi looked at them with a complicated expression. "It really is…" he said, though he was half-impressed and half-concerned. Those cities held on to their techniques tightly. They had a cutthroat culture, and he couldn’t help but feel a little worried for Alterra.

However, the quality was really good and the price was a tiny fraction of what those places sold. To be honest, they could sell these for about the same or at an even higher price than what the cloth cities’ equivalents sold for.

"Someone should rent beast carts from Ferrol Town, really," Sipa said with sincerity. "We’ve only been here for a few hours and what we bought couldn’t fit in our spaces anymore."

Bulgogi heaved a deep breath and patted his stomach bulging from overeating. "We wouldn’t even be able to fit a couple of bolts on our backs…"

This made the mercenaries consider it. It was true. There were still so many places for them to go. They wouldn’t be able to hold on all of the products they’d want to buy just by themselves.

While Bart mulled on the next step, they proceeded on looking at the other shops.
