Wandering Merchant

William pushed the door into the church when the game time was in the afternoon, the sun's afterglow pulled out a long shadow, appearing to be the stained mosaic glass window of the symbol of the sun god on the ground projection incomparably huge.

News of his return to the village had apparently preceded him to this stately church, where a friar had long been waiting to greet William, 'watched by God'.

Seeing him push the door and walk into the church, the interns rushed forward and sprinkled countless drops of water on him. These blessed drops immediately washed away the dust and mud that covered him, restoring him to the neatness of his grooming.

The friar stepped forward and said to him, "Bless you, pious brother, it seems that the Father in heaven has sent down a decree that you can walk through the border of death without any wound."

William responded in kind, "It is all thanks to the might of God and the wishes of my brothers and revered elders that I have returned alive."

The news of the presence of a God-watched ascetic in the village of Kahn had reached the bishop of the diocese, and this glorious and important event immediately attracted the attention of the Church. Bishop personally wrote to Yves instructing him to take good care of William.

Father Yves was well aware, however, that the village of Kahn was not in a position to keep the young man for long, and that the bishop would soon have the opportunity to look after him personally.

After meeting him, Yves Adolph reinforced his idea that it had only been a week since he had seen him, and that the grace of God in this young man had already become evident from what had been hidden when he first met him.

Thinking of the great future William may have, the wrinkles on Yves' face are stretched out because of happiness, making William still a little strange.

Is this old man going to be promoted to bishop? Why is he so happy?

He raised his eyes to look, but unfortunately, Yves is obviously not like a player can quickly upgrade, so his HP is still with some golden white, and not completely transformed into light gold, thus you can see that his strength has not progressed.

The rule of not being allowed to speak makes the work within the church much more efficient. Yves firstly handed out two 'ascetic allowances' to William from the church and the parish, and the wealthy church gifted him with a magic jewelry, which, considering the progress of the game, is probably the first magic jewelry belonging to a player in the world.

"Sun Emblem Ring: A Coronation Church-made brass ring engraved with the emblem of the Sun God, with a small line inside: Commendation to William Green, the ascetic, may the Sun God bless him."

"Attributes: the MP consumption of the wearer using the relevant prayer is halved, and the wearer deals a trace of additional light elemental damage to the target when using 'Lash'."

This is undoubtedly an extremely suitable equipment for ascetic friars, he solemnly took it and then wore it on the index finger of his left hand.

Except for some special professions with corresponding talents, generally players can only wear a ring on their left and right hands respectively, which can be worn on any finger.

Although William's parish is not as generous as the headquarters, but also a one-time issue of three bottles of Lv 1 HP potions as a field allowance, the healing effect is equivalent to the Lv 1 divine magic 'healing'.

Finally, Father Yves took out another fine red velvet tray with ten gold coins on it.

Without a doubt, the successful missionary operation in the Village Guard, an important militia, earned William a large amount of prestige and cash rewards among the coronal church.

This bonus is still in the process of approval, but Yves, because of his goodwill towards William, first advanced the money from the church funds, so that William did not have to wait for a long approval.

William carefully put away this money.

He now has a total of twelve gold coins and fifty copper coins, which is a large sum of money at the beginning of the game, and ordinary players may not have nearly as much wealth until a few weeks later, counting the discounted price of character equipment.

After giving a silent salute to thank Father Yves and his colleagues, William left the church, which was somewhat stifled by the inability to speak, and went to the village in search of his next target: the wandering merchant.

As a regular NPC that will refresh a week or so after a player enters the village, the wandering merchant will not only provide players with some valuable items that are difficult to obtain during the novice period, but also unlock a special career path "wanderer" that players can access during the novice period.

The skills provided by this career path are mostly related to travel, trade, and exploration. "Wanderer" can also be promoted to the extremely powerful special profession "Tycoon", one of the few professions in the game that can be equipped with a large amount of magic jewelry.

The wandering merchant who refreshed the village of Kahn was a small, old man, wearing a tattered black cloak and driving a caravan drawn by a sturdy bull to the village of Kahn.

When William arrived, he had already activated the mechanism on the caravan, the whole car slowly transformed into a small tent store, in which there are many sophisticated mechanical props.

Different wandering merchants favor different types of props, the most common is potions, while the rarest is jewelry, engineering machinery is also considered a relatively rare type.

The old man, who seemed quite old and slow, smiled wryly in front of the adults and children gathered around him and knocked on the counter in front of him with his walking stick, and several puppies made of gears, springs and transmission rods ran out from the corner, woofing and barking in a lifelike manner.

William took a look and recognized that this is a mechanical pet, does not have the ability to fight, but because of the cute shape, sought after by many players, some particularly good shape, the price can even be compared to the mount.

But at this time, he has limited funds, is not to spend on this, he wants to buy those special props that have the potential to open the mission or even event.

William, who has risen to level 6, is much stronger than these villagers around him who are just gray HP, and soon squeezed in front of the wandering merchant's merchandise counter.

The old man with a copper pipe looked him up and down and realized that this was probably a big customer from the coronal church, and an ugly smile immediately bloomed on his wrinkled old face.

"Please sit down, please sit down, noble friar, what can the humble merchant Belepo do for you?"

William nodded, pretending to look like those children within the Church who have been living in abundance since childhood and condescendingly commanded: "Father Yves wants some valuable antiques to delight in, do you have any suggestions?"

As soon as he heard that a priest wanted to buy his things, Belepo immediately felt countless gold beckoned to him, he bent down and dragged out a large box from under the counter, enthusiastically introduced: "Please see, these are my best collections."

William looked inside the opened box and felt his heart skip a beat: in the middle of a pile of junk lay a nondescript obsidian sculpture, about as big as a man's fist.
