Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 161

(EP-161.2) Night #2

161 – Day and Night #2

“What do you think? Isn’t it cool?”

Narmi smiled like the radiant moon and pointed her slender finger at the open space.

Following her fingertips, I could see glowstone lights illuminating the way of the bustling pedestrians below.

━Get yours now, new arrival of amanita mushrooms fresh from the dungeon today. They are of excellent quality.

━I killed a dungeon boss and found this cursed sword in a chest. I haven’t tried it yet. Give your offers!

The sound of chattering was loud as vendors advertised their wares. Only then did I realize what this place was.

It was an underground market.

I vaguely remembered hearing about a marketplace where adventurers would buy and sell items within Ark. This must be it.

“I never thought there’d be a place like this under Ark and the church.”

Narmi smiled with her pearly whites as I muttered in awe.

“When there is light, there are shadows. Of course, the church is probably aware of this. It’s just that they turn a blind eye to it.”

The strict church allowed this illegal market to operate?

But I believed I knew why.

Markets like this tended to spring up no matter what you do. Suppressing them might just cause the opposite effect and make them become uncontrollable.

That was why it might be more convenient to have them in one place. It’d be easier to manage that way.

In fact, as if to prove the church’s management, I could see soldiers, warriors, and knights with crosses on their shoulders wandering around the market.

At a glance, they seemed to be browsing through the items, but their gaze was more like that of a supervisor or manager rather than a customer.

Anyway.

I was in this place now.

“This place only opens at night. Mirna Unnie probably hasn’t been here before.”

“Indeed, I don’t think Mirna-nim is the type of person that would come to a place like this.”

Mirna was stricter about the church’s rules than Narmi.

If Mirna was here, she’d definitely look at this place and say, “What an unholy place! This is just a dark hole where people whisper like mice...!” She would be furious.

In that sense, Narmi appeared to have a lower religious devotion than Mirna.

Wouldn’t that mean Narmi’s notion of chastity was significantly less than that of Mirna? You could say she was relatively open-minded.

I hope I’d get a chance to score some points with Narmi soon.

As I was thinking about this, I spotted a stall selling miscellaneous goods. And the one running the stall was a blond-haired Nymph.

“Goldnoi?”

This reminded me of the Nymph who had sold me a high rank spell during Fairy Night. I believed her name was Treasure Nymph Goldnoi.
