150 [BC] The Sixth Floor (part 4)

As Aito followed the army down a staircase carved directly from the canyon and got closer to the bottom, he realized there were more to orcs than met the eyes.

They had plantations next to the river, using an irrigation method to water their plants. There were market places where one could find all sorts of food, ranging from vegetables to meat.

White clothes with hoodies, large hats in an oval shape were traded. Even tools like pickaxes or weapons like hammers could be found in this marketplace. 

And it appeared merchants didn't exchange their goods for money, but traded them against something else they considered had an equal value. 

Moreover, there wasn't exactly an abundance of goods, but just the necessary amount. Life was hard in the desert. With so few resources for thousands of them, orcs had to optimize their trades and avoid waste.
