Étienne guided us to a warehouse-like space to trade the bigger pieces of loot.
I saw a few individuals working on stuff in a few forges. I may have binged a few shows about smithing back on Earth, but that didn't give me any insight on what was being created. There was a lot of hammering of glowing orange stuff, the smell of a lot of things burning and sweat, and the murmur of uninterrupted conversation.
We stopped at the opposite side of the warehouse, near a large pile of boxes and crates. Next to them was a big, white bowl on the ground.
Étienne stood next to it and gestured at me. "Let's go with the Luminous Caps first, shall we?"
I nodded and extended a hand over the bowl, then dropped ten plants.
Just like in Mountroad with the ores and hides, the plants shrunk to the size of a pebble when they entered the bowl.
