After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 2066

Chapter 2066: Menzon’s Family

Meanwhile, Althea and Garan were now going around the marketplace, buying the things they did not have before or had rarely or not yet reached Alterra.

Bleulle was a City and was the center of trade in its area; they were very likely to find new things there.

Soon, a full one cubic meter was filled with things she bought from the market.

She managed to get some unfamiliar seeds, some types of clothes, rocks, fruits, and so on. She also got some information, map expansions, et cetera.

Interestingly, she could also barter. The crates of sauces she had in her space would sell for 20 times here, so she didn’t have to spend much of her own money despite buying so many things.

Before leaving, they had already replenished their consumables—whether it was healing potions, mana potions, beast-repellants, or food, they should not run out during this leg of the trip, hopefully.

The market was bustling with people coming and going, and soon they found themselves near a gate. Interestingly, as they passed by the gate plaza, they saw a group of people entering carts.

Usually, this wasn’t anything special, and they wouldn’t bother with it. What caught their attention was the signage.

[Trip to Alterra!]

?

Counting, there were already eight beast carts lined up, and the number was growing. There were also plenty of people apparently moving on foot. The group was also getting bigger.

"Odd. Do we have a route in Bleulle now?"

She was speaking about the tour groups. So far, the tour groups were limited to the four related towns, which were already pretty heavy on their operations. They did not expect them to expand to a City so soon.

"I don’t think this is an Alterran initiative."

Alterrans could do business as they wanted, but there was already certain bureaucracy in the territory. It wasn’t as cumbersome as in Terra, especially with the oaths, but there had to be regulatory organizations to protect the people and Alterra’s reputation.

Hence, the tour groups had to request approval whenever they were making trips, as well as opening new routes. This was for everyone’s protection. What if they needed rescue? Would the rescue team be able to get to them at all if they took an unknown path?

It was also to assess whether a caravan had enough fighters, especially depending on the territory they were heading towards.

Since Garan wasn’t aware of this new route, it meant that there was none.

"Look at their staff members," Garan said, and Althea followed his line of sight.

The caravan’s staff had uniforms, albeit a bit gaudy for uniforms. None of them was Terran.

"Except for a slave, none of the staff is Terran," he said, eyes shifting over one of the porters there, an obvious Terran, but looking at the man’s sorry state, they could tell he hadn’t lived that well.

They hadn’t heard of tour groups outside Alterra before, so they did wonder if it was inspired by them.

Then she saw some familiar people appear and join in the caravan. They paid a ticket and were thus allowed to take a ride. They were Menzon’s relatives.

Because the professionals that Alterra ’pirated’ from Bleulle were such sensitive identities, they were part of the reports she received from the intelligence team.

Things got worse when those professionals started churning out good things one after the other!
