"I'm sorry, esteemed customers. We don't accept barter."
"That's weird. The last city accepted it…" Nathan frowned.
"My apologies, esteemed customers. Unfortunately, we can't accept it."
Mae walked to his side and suggested, "Master. Should I exchange it for some money? It shouldn't take too long."
Evelyn felt weird about something. Despite talking to each other, the owner and the female staff acted as if nothing weird had happened. Nathan's lips should have moved differently.
However, there was another reason Mae accompanied them. The illusion made even the female guard realize that they were using some sort of power. Hence, when Mae applied an illusion to Nathan's lips, they didn't suspect anything.
Meanwhile, the owner overheard everything and suggested with a polite smile, "If that's the case, may I suggest visiting the lord's trading hall? The lords are willing to buy food at a high price."
"Where is that place?" Nathan asked.
"How about having Misha lead you?"
