The streets of Newly Town were bustling with people.
Even with a large number of able-bodied laborers drafted to work in Minas Tirith, it remained the most prosperous town around the Gray Swamp.
The policies from Mi Port had also been implemented in Newly Town, and for that reason, Velin had made a special trip to the flea market.
In the flea market at the center of town, farmers who had just finished their busy season were using their accumulated credit points to select supplies for the winter.
Newly fired pottery, gloves tanned from wild boar hide, and wild game they had hunted themselves—on the wooden sign for each item, circles and bars were drawn with charcoal to represent the number of credit points.
Velin walked along the gravel road, with old Walker and Ryo following behind him.
Whenever the townspeople saw him, they would stop, place a hand over their chest, and bow respectfully.
Velin, in turn, would smile and nod to each of them.
