Aldred walked around the sea market with his wives some more. He had never seen something like this before in fantasy books or modern reality.
Why do they sell their wares in the sea? Why not on land? After asking the merchants around, it got to do with the quality of the fruit. The Sea Fruits lost their quality when they got near land. This forced the merchants to set up their wares in the middle of nowhere.
The fact that these merchants use rafts and small boats to sail the sea was proof that they were willing to risk their lives for gold coins.
During his travel in the sea, Aldred saw a lot of sea monsters in the Platinum Rank. The market only had a few ships to protect themselves from the monsters. If they met a powerful sea serpent, all of them would be slaughtered.
"Ten thousand gold coins seem too cheap now the more I think about it," Aldred said.
Mary agreed. "With all the risk they take, this fruit should be worth at least fifty thousand gold coins each."
