"We were all members of the All Things Library,
but we felt that such a comfortable life wasn’t for us, so we packed up and decided to become adventurers again, taking on some small businesses on the side.
We heard that there are many underground mazes in Sethis that appeal to the imagination and even S-rank adventurers, and we wanted to go and see for ourselves.
We ask for everyone’s understanding."
In the urban area of the All Things Library, Yang Yu bought a cart, placed some common goods on it, and had Lotcar replace the horse as the draught animal transporting the cargo.
It was quite easy to go from Tren to the All Things Library, but going from the All Things Library to Sethis was not so simple.
The documents originally obtained to enter the All Things Library had their own nationality, and each country’s citizens were distinguished by different documents.
To travel back to one’s homeland, one merely needed to show the previously obtained documents to pass through the border directly and return to the embrace of their homeland.
But if one wanted to go from the All Things Library from one country to another, they must obtain the guard’s approval and acquire new documents.
Yang Yu hoped to use his persuasive tongue to toy with the guards, but as soon as he reached the border, the Sethis guards slapped a huge fine on his forehead.
They claimed it was the "turtle’s ass"—a rule.
When facing a Monster Tamer, they must conduct a strict review; Yang Yu had to prove his innocence to proceed to Sethis.
That being said, the guards of Sethis just took the opportunity to collect more toll fees.
As long as you could pay the toll, everything was negotiable.
Sethis wouldn’t reject wealthy benefactors.
Understanding the guards’ intentions, Yang Yu didn’t seek trouble and obediently paid the deposit along with some extra for the guards’ drink money.
Only then did he sign various documents with the guards and successfully entered the borders of Sethis.
While signing the documents with the guards, Yang Yu deliberately exposed the Revive Elixir he carried.
Upon seeing Yang Yu possessed Resurrection Medicine, the soldiers’ views toward him changed.
Although these soldiers didn’t know where exactly Yang Yu had obtained the Resurrection Medicine from, they were aware of the magical effects of the Revive Elixir.
Now that such medicine was no longer primarily available, any bottle could sell for a sky-high price on the market.
Yang Yu, owning Revive Elixirs, was surely a wealthy man, with a very low possibility of being a spy from an enemy country.
Thus, they completely dismissed their concerns and wished Yang Yu and his group a fun time in Sethis.
After the battle in Fairyland, Yang Yu was left with only five bottles of Revive Elixir.
Still, he exerted himself to the fullest, scrapping them off the fairies; it was a medicine that could save lives at crucial moments, and Yang Yu certainly didn’t mind that it came off the fairies.
Leaving the border, Yang Yu carefully stored the Resurrection Medicine back into the System.
Unless in special circumstances, he no longer planned to use this kind of elixir until the final battle with the Demon King.
Outside the border between Sethis and the All Things Library, many people also settled outside the tall walls of the All Things Library, establishing a thriving city, seeking refuge under the protection of the All Things Library.
As soon as Lotcar appeared in the city, he attracted countless gazes, even those at work couldn’t help but stop their tasks to look at the majestic Silver Wolf.
Indifferent to the surrounding stares, Lotcar followed Yang Yu’s directions and headed southwest.
On the road, Lotcar knew Iyas was an elf, and they had to find her brother before returning to Wansheng Country.
Along the way, Yang Yu promised to investigate the matter about the Curse, so Lotcar had no complaints.
Their first destination was the nearest Sunrise Chamber of Commerce auction house.
Sethis was a kingdom primarily consisting of plains and hills with a monsoon climate, warm and moist, with several rivers within the country intersecting and flowing into the sea.
This also significantly contributed to the developed river transportation system of Sethis.
Geographically blessed, Sethis had extreme convenience in trading with other nations and gradually became a thriving commercial nation, gathering merchandise from all corners of the world.
The Sunrise Chamber of Commerce was one of the active large chambers in the country and also one of the native chambers.
The national support was substantial due to the special status of the President of the Commerce Association, and Sunrise Chamber of Commerce’s auction houses spread throughout the entire country.
According to library-related research, the auction houses of the Sunrise Guild once occupied over 85% of the entire country’s market share.
On the surface, the Sethis Kingdom did not prohibit slave trading; in pursuit of profit, the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce also set up several covert auction houses, specifically auctioning slaves and goods of dubious origin.
Most of the slaves auctioned were Subhumans, with mostly unknown origins, not excluding the possibilities of abduction and "poaching."
When facing the radiant sun, darkness also lingered behind.
Behind the prosperity of Sethis, there lay numerous unthinkable darknesses, and the high-ranking merchants and nobles chose to turn a blind eye.
To investigate the matter of Iyas’ brother, the best method was to become part of the nobility and integrate into high society.
But this idea was quickly dismissed by Yang Yu.
In the gaming world, Yang Yu was not unfamiliar with merchant or noble characters, knowing a bit about their behavior, but playing a man born and raised in a noble family, capable of mingling with nobles effortlessly, was extremely challenging.
Born in an ordinary family, Yang Yu had never dealt with nobles and had no idea how these nobles bragged.
Moreover, the demeanor owned by nobles couldn’t be mimicked overnight, any slight carelessness could expose flaws and attract unwanted attention.
If he really could play the role of a noble well, what about Iyas and Bai Jin?
Yang Yu found it difficult to play a member of the upper class, let alone Iyas, who hadn’t seen much of the world, and Bai Jin, who emitted an ominous aura.
Perhaps Iyas could still be dressed up nicely as a decorative piece, but Bai Jin... Yang Yu really had no solution; she simply did not fit in with the upper class.
Even if every method was tried to get Bai Jin and Iyas through the inspection, Yang Yu, being a Monster Tamer, along with He Meng and Lotcar needed managing, and they couldn’t be hidden in dangerous forests.
After much deliberation, Yang Yu simply gave up on pretending to be upper class, opting to use other methods to find a breakthrough.
There were still about three days until they reached the first auction house of the Sunrise Guild. In the meantime, Yang Yu planned to take a slight detour and had plenty of time to carefully devise a strategy.
