After finishing eating, Nadira took Mu Liang and Huang Lian to a free and open market that was located near avenue square. The open market was located between four pillars that support a protective barrier that would prevent sudden attacks and served as an alarm if someone left with stolen goods.
Alessandra-066: I analyzed this barrier and it is almost as good as the one in the palace.
Mu Liang: Was it the government that placed this barrier?
Alessandra-066: No, the free market is sponsored by non-profit organizations (NGOs) that aim to help small traders to settle in the capital. It is practically free advertising and local for them.
Nadira took Mu Liang to a tent with several colored stones and some decorative dishes, the stones were shiny and special look, but of course, they could be fake too.
