Chapter 474: Chapter 346: The Legendary Devil Fruit
As time passed, quite a few merchants arrived at the mysterious place mentioned in the promotional slogans.
Here, although it was still far from bustling, it was not as deserted as it had been one or two months ago.
Many of the big businessmen representing the Oasis had stayed on to continue their investigations after concluding their trade deals, as new products were occasionally displayed on the shelves in the big marketplace and there were sporadic promotional events. Staying to oversee and direct operations was necessary for them.
Most importantly, the living conditions in the marketplace were exceptionally comfortable. The accommodations were a refreshing change from those at the Starlight Fortress. At first glance, they didn’t look upscale since they didn’t have high-level runes embedded in them, but living there soon revealed that everything was very convenient.
Convenience and comfort were the merchants’ evaluations of this place.
The longer they stayed, the less they wanted to leave, and the various novel entertainment options also blew their minds, making them exclaim that those from other Great Domains sure knew a wide array of ways to have fun.
There were also delectable foods that seemed to directly warm the soul and felt so satisfying it was as if one’s clothes might burst at the seams.
Consequently, after sending away their caravans, many of the big merchants chose to stay behind, which added a little more human touch to Flamefire Oasis.
Outside the Oasis,
a large merchant caravan consisting of over a hundred people slowly entered the land bathed in sunlight from the Grey Mist Area.
The guards were dressed in gleaming armor, and although the armor and caravan wagons bore the marks of numerous battles and hardships from the journey, the spirits of the commerce guild’s guards remained high. Their gazes were sharp as they vigilantly scanned their surroundings, wary of the slightest rustle of grass.
Even when they set foot within the boundaries of the Oasis, they did not relax much and kept their hands on the hilts of their swords and knives, standing erect.
The caravan stopped a few hundred meters from the entrance of Blazing Fire Mall.
"Another caravan has come?"
"Whoa! There’s quite a number, this is a large caravan. Whose powerful influence is behind this?"
In the Ghastly Realm, the greater the distance traveled and the more people in a group, the more likely they were to attract an attack from Mysterious Evil.
Therefore, explorations of the Great Oasis in the Ghastly Realm were usually carried out in small teams of no more than ten people. Merchants required transportation vehicles and more hands, but they normally consisted of no more than fifty people. Caravans as large as a hundred people were rare, not to mention over a hundred.
The Oasis wasn’t large, and there was little to amuse oneself with. At the appearance of newcomers, many commerce guild bosses looked on from a distance, wondering which Great Oasis these people were from.
Was there potential for cooperation, or were they competitors?
"With such a scale, could it be people from City of Fallen Stars? The royal commerce guild of Fallen Stars hasn’t made an appearance yet."
"It doesn’t seem like it. I recognize the royal commerce guild of Fallen Stars, and these people look unfamiliar. And... the insignia on the wagons is not that of Fallen Stars. How is it that I don’t recognize it?"
It was a grey insignia, with a complex pattern that could not be simply described in a sentence or two. But it was certain that those who saw this insignia would find it hard to forget.
An elder had never seen it before!
The chairman of Scorchflame Commerce, Mo Yan, suddenly spoke up, "I have some impression of this insignia. It seems to be... the insignia of ’The Land of Finality,’ a powerful Oasis in the Sighing Mountain Range!"
"The Land of Finality? I seem to have heard of it too. It’s the strongest Oasis in that Great Domain of the Sighing Mountain Range, but our bustling level in the Falling Star Pit is far superior to theirs."
"Your information is outdated. Decades ago, or perhaps over a hundred years ago, there was a person from The Land of Finality who ascended to the mythic level. Now, The Land of Finality is indeed a super Oasis power, a superpower from an external domain!"
"The opening of Blazing Fire Mall has actually spread so far?"
"Hiss—"
As the merchants were discussing among themselves, a youth from the caravan of The Land of Finality, wearing a grey fitted robe adorned with several epic Strange Implements, was craning his neck and gazing ahead.
In The Land of Finality Oasis, grey was often associated with nobility, worn only by high-ranking officials and the elite. If one’s entire attire was gleaming grey, it usually meant they were from the royal court.
Nitat was the thirteenth Prince of The Land of Finality, a person of very noble status, and he was one of only three princes with the qualifications to compete for that prestigious position among the many princes of The Land of Finality.
The second prince, the sixth prince, and himself, the thirteenth prince.
After the eldest prince failed to advance to the fourth awakening and became disabled, the strongest among the three princes was the second prince, who had been operating for the longest time and had a great advantage in both personal strength and supporter power.
In comparison, Nitat, who was only in his thirties and had already ascended to become non-human, was too young and had risen too quickly. He had shallow roots within the Oasis, and had very few supporters.
Even considered a thorn in the second prince’s side.
"Now, my hope for turning the tables rests with Blazing Fire Mall."
The thirteenth prince thought to himself.
This was a task he managed to fight for only because the second and sixth princes did not care for it.
After all, crossing domains was fraught with peril, and despite having strong escorts, there was no guarantee of safety. Caravans that vanished without a trace while en route were not uncommon.
It would also keep him away from the center of power for half a year.
Even if he reached the Falling Star Pit and Blazing Fire Mall really existed, Nitat had no certainty about how much benefit he could gain from this place, or whether he could reverse his circumstances.
If he had a choice, he would prefer to stay within the royal court, enjoying a comfortable life.
"Blazefire Commerce Guild, I’ve never heard of it. Apart from City of Fallen Stars, there shouldn’t be any Oasis worth noting in this Great Domain."
