Caravan

The caravan arrived before I could explore the rest of the ruin. Thankfully it would stay for 3 days to give the surrounding villages time to come by.

This place might not be much, but with half a dozen surrounding villages visiting and many stalls and items the people here never saw, the mood was festive resembling a small town for once. Especially as they came by right at the end of the harvest festival the peoples pockets were more loose than they would have been during other times.

However, their main reason for stopping here seemed to be the monastery's wine, which was said to be popular and sold quite well even beyond the kingdoms borders , as one merchant earnestly informed me. He seemed unusually keen to keep me at his stall, even inviting me to check out the storage area in the back, despite my clear lack of interest in buying anything. I found the behaviour odd at-least until I realised that he was staring at my boobs for half the time.

Though he tried to hide it I definitely noticed him ogling my chest whenever he thought I wouldn’t notice.

The villagers living next to the monastery only peeked occasionally but kept their eye level on a decent level most of the time not wanting to offend.

But these people were definitely a-lot more bold if not to say rude in this aspect. I even had the desire to cover up my breasts as their stares lingered on me though I suppose I was more embarrassed than actually offended by it. I mean I do like to look at them as well, so I can understand them.

In the monastery with only girls around nobody cared and there were plenty of senior nuns with similar sized boobs or even larger than mine but here with mostly men around I definitely felt the stares as they checked out my body.

Though not all of them were lecherous many were just curios while others just enjoyed the view it seems.

It didn’t matter much in the monastery but Claire was very attractive after all and it gave me a strange feeling I wasn’t yet sure how to place.

Though I do have to admit that the attention had clear advantages as all the men were more than happy to help me find the stuff I was interested in and answer questions I was curios about.

To my surprise outside of the typical items I expected to see there were otherworldly items as well. They were few and far between but those definitely didn’t belong here. Panties and lingerie made with materials not available in this era, revealing clothing and accessories, like rubber hair ties, cosmetics and other small oddities which shouldn’t be available either. In addition I saw a recording crystal and a few other magical items which likely nobody here would buy but still drew in the attention of the crowd.

The crystal displayed some of the places the caravan had visited earning that particular stall quite the attention.

Though I shouldn’t have been so surprised.

For the people here those otherworldly items were remaining relics from the Adrian empire. Meaning even the lace panties I was staring at right now, were in fact a relict and many times more expensive than normal panties. I suppose modern underwear does look better and clearly the people here were inspired by those, leading to them creating similar underwear albeit with different materials. The underwear Claires mom left behind came to mind.

I thought about selling the robe and sex toy I found in the ruin but thought better of it. When it comes to relics selling them at an auction was always better than to a merchant and while there were many items around, there was nothing truly useful in my current price range so instead I decided to indulge a tiny bit and bought something sweet from a vendor and got a hair scrunchy as a freebie.

While the food was quite good in the monastery I missed chocolate and bought two bars to try, thankfully it wasn’t as expensive as I feared only costing a couple bronze.
