"Hi, this Dried Meat works well as food in the village. Those women insisted we take some, saying this is their harvest for this time," Mo Wen said. Everyone was still getting used to the term "Dried Meat" instead of the dry stuff they were accustomed to calling it, but Mo Wen didn't mind.
"Haha, who knows, maybe the sisters' harvest is even better than yours. Tomorrow, you should take a couple of brothers and bring this Dried Meat with us to the city for a meal at a restaurant."
"Brother, what play are you putting on? Eating at a restaurant at this time is quite expensive."
"You'll see when the time comes. Also, let a few brothers take some over to the nearby camps and share some with them. Just say it's our way of helping each other out and sharing food."
"Well... alright, I'll arrange it." Although he didn't understand what Er Gou Brother was planning, he still sent someone with some Dried Meat.
The next morning, Mo Wen entered the city with Erniu and two villagers. Standing under the city gate while waiting in line to enter, Mo Wen took a moment to observe Moro City. It was said that Moro City had been established for over a hundred thousand years. According to the Village Chief, their ancestors had passed through Moro City while escaping into Cloud Mist Forest. Back then, Moro City was located on the edge of Cloud Mist Forest and frequently attacked by Demon Beasts. Therefore, it was built as a heavily fortified city. The current Moro City only consisted of the inner city portion; what lay before Mo Wen was an expanded version that had grown as human activity pushed further into Cloud Mist Forest. Kao Shu Village, once deep within the forest, had now become an edge village. However, the city's defenses were still constructed as a heavily fortified stronghold. The city walls stood ten zhang high and six zhang thick, made from stone slabs inscribed with runes. This was described in the Codex as a defensive Symbol Array. The runes connected to form a formation with a core that required energy injection to activate the defensive Magic Circle. There were fortifications atop the walls with soldiers patrolling.
After verifying their identities, the four entered the city. Following Erniu's earlier introduction, they found that connecting to the city gate was the main street, which was nine zhang wide; other streets were six zhang wide and alleys three zhang wide—this was the standard for Lianyun Kingdom. Moro City governed a post station within Lianyun Empire's territory covering an area of one thousand Bird Journeys; one country had nine provinces, and each province had eighteen post stations. With a population of over one million, Moro City thrived due to its proximity to Cloud Mist Forest and its abundant resources, attracting several times its population during peak times. Even though Wu Hui was still days away, Moro City was already bustling with activity; streets were crowded with people coming in and out of various shops lining both sides.
Mo Wen and his group followed the crowd through these shops, seeking out several well-known establishments to sell some materials and herbs they had on hand. Erniu was quite straightforward; yesterday when Mo Wen asked him to bring Dried Meat, he indeed only brought Dried Meat into the city today. Thus, he could only accompany Mo Wen in and out of these shops. However, seeing the prices Mo Wen received for his goods made him remember the names of these shops. In fact, that was exactly what Mo Wen intended; he sold his items at places owned by major powers. For instance, this herb shop they just visited was Bai Cao Tang, where prices were about twenty percent higher than elsewhere. Bai Cao Tang might not look impressive from the outside because such major powers were generally well-known; if there were business opportunities, customers would naturally come knocking without needing extravagant storefronts to attract them.
