"Halt, what business do you have here?"
Enclosed within a ring of ice walls, the Wanderer Camp had a sentry posted at intervals, especially at the front gate.
And He Ao was now standing before the gate, stopped by a towering, youthful-faced Wilderness Wanderer.
"Is there a market here?"
He Ao asked calmly.
Generally, larger Wilderness Wanderer assembly areas would have markets for trade.
The markets served as places for resource exchange among small Wilderness Wanderer communities as well as Wilderness Hunters and caravans that traveled between the wilderness and the cities.
The size of the markets varied, with Ronald's camp previously being the largest trading market near Dawn City.
If the Mining Consortium chose to stay here, then the market at this Wanderer Camp must be quite sizable, perhaps even the largest near Rock City.
"The market has closed for today."
