Chapter 3: Foreign Merchant

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Fifteen years later.

Peter Village was extremely quiet. The smell of food wafted out of every house. There was cream soup and freshly baked bread.

A young man with a head of black hair casually tied up walked on the path.

“Eh? Where did Kelly go to play today?” A woman wearing an apron came out of the house and asked with a smile, “I just saw Mr. Knight go home. Kelly, hurry up and go back to eat.”

The young man raised his head, his eyes bright. “Okay, Aunt Jill.” This young man was Kelly.

He was wearing a white cotton shirt and brown pants. The bottoms of his pants were tied into small leather boots, and there was a dagger inside the boots.

Kelly had delicate features. Almost all the villagers in Peter Village liked this child who was born in a nightmare.

Kelly put his hands on the back of his head and walked forward slowly, but his gaze was fixed on the sky.

The sky here was no different from before, but it felt unfamiliar to Kelly.

It had been 15 years since he transmigrated. He had also lived in this world that was exactly the same as the Demon Territory Game for 15 years.

On the day of his birth, the villagers surrounded him and his mother as they went home. His father, Connie Jeff, was so busy that he almost turned into a spinning top.

As a knight, Connie Jeff was respected by the villagers, not to mention his lucky wife and son who had escaped from the goblins. Kelly gradually understood the situation. This was the Demon Territory.

He was the son of a knight in a small village. His full name was Kelly Jeff, but he was usually called Kelly.

“Sigh…” Kelly sighed slightly, his eyes revealing a depth that did not match his age. He had been in this small village for 15 years.

Peter Village was surrounded by deep mountains, and no one knew where the goblins were hiding. Moreover, these Goblins were even more cunning. Occasionally, they could even organize to attack Peter Village.

Kelly had a golden finger, so he naturally had to share his beloved father’s burden.

Many nights, while his parents were asleep, Kelly secretly went to destroy the goblins who had attacked Peter Village many times.

When he was young, Kelly became tired easily and hence would rest a lot in the day. When Bai Yiluanna saw him sleeping during the day, she thought that Kelly was sick. It was only when he grew up that his life became better.

The vanguard was destroyed by his son, and the goblins that followed were destroyed by his father and the villagers. In the past few years, the goblins had become more and more insignificant. Meanwhile, Connie Jeff had been valued by the entire village because he had protected the village many times. The Hall of Knights had also given Connie Jeff a lot of rewards.

Kelly scratched his head, confusion flashing in his eyes. It was true that his game account had followed him through time, but why was there only one class?

All these years, Kelly had been unable to figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it. He wanted nothing more than to pry open the golden finger. Had the other classes been pocketed?

Suddenly, there was a commotion. Kelly frowned slightly and looked ahead.

At the intersection of the small road in Peter Village, a crowd gathered. It was noisy, and a few familiar voices could be vaguely heard.

“How much is this comb?”

“Sugar!”

“This is cheaper than the previous supplier!”

“I want a bag of sugar and two mirrors.”

“I’ll give you 15 copper coins!”

Amidst the commotion, Kelly walked up to the crowd.

Aunt Jill, who he had just greeted, ran over from behind. “Kelly, go get your mother. A caravan from another city has brought a lot of good things. Let your mother take a look.” Kelly obediently agreed, his gaze flashing through the crowd.

There was a small comb, a small mirror, and some novel gadgets.

Kelly shrugged helplessly. He touched his pocket and muttered to himself, “Let’s go find Mom. Mom will probably like these things.”

Peter Village was located in a remote area. It would take a long time to go out, and the journey was not safe. Therefore, he could only rely on these merchants passing by.

They bought goods from big cities and hawked them all the way. By doing so, they could earn a lot of money.

Kelly had bought his dagger from a merchant, but unfortunately, the merchant didn’t bring anything that moved Kelly’s heart. Just as Kelly was about to go home and call his mother, a few voices came from the crowd.

With a thick foreign accent, he greeted the villagers familiarly, “Your village’s environment is really good!”

“If there aren’t many people, I’ll come here to live in the future…”

“I wonder if it’s safe. Are there knights guarding this place?”

Kelly frowned slightly and walked out of the crowd hesitantly.

The villagers answered with a smile, their voices filled with pride.

“Not many people. It’s a small village, after all.”

“There are knights. Although there are few of them, they are very powerful. If you come, everyone will help you build a house!”

“Hahaha, I told you Peter Village has a good environment!”

A bad premonition flashed across Kelly’s heart, and he turned his head to look again. The bearded man was sitting on the ground, and the linen cloth in front of him was filled with goods. He had a silly smile on his face, and he did not seem to be restrained by outsiders at all.

Beside the man, a few young men were holding money bags and answering everyone’s questions with a smile. It was unknown if they were really moving, but the supplier’s questions were getting more and more detailed.

“It’s boring to stay in a big city. I just want to find a peaceful place to live. I don’t know if you have any soldiers here, but I still think safety is more important.”

“My brother has earned enough money and wants to retire.”

It was rare for Peter Village to have a guest. The villager replied enthusiastically, “Soldiers? Yes. To be honest, Peter Village has not been in danger for more than ten years!”

“Since Sir Knight came to our village, Peter Village has become safer and safer!”

The merchant paused and asked in confusion, “Sir Knight?”

The villager smiled and his tone was filled with pride. “Yes, he’s our village’s knight. You don’t know, but he’s amazing!”

“Every time the goblins attack the village, it’s Sir Knight who brings everyone to fight!”

“He’s the most powerful person in Peter Village now!”

Amidst the discussions, Kelly’s frown deepened. Why did these suppliers look so abnormal? These questions seemed to be fine, but they gave Kelly an indescribable premonition.

Kelly sat on the steps at the side, his eyes slightly sunken. At this moment, Bai Irina walked over from the path. When she saw Kelly, Bai Yiluanna rubbed Kelly’s shiny black hair and asked gently, “Kelly, do you want to buy something?”

Kelly shook his head. “I don’t want to buy their things. I just feel that they don’t talk like everyone else and want to see more.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Yiluanna smiled and walked over under the call of the village woman. Ten minutes later, Bai Yiluanna walked out with her things.

Kelly stepped forward to take the items and asked casually, “Mom, what did you buy?”

Bai Yiluanna smiled gently. “I bought sausages from the Capital. I’ll roast them for you tonight, okay?”

The fifteen-year-old youth’s figure was like a pine tree, already half a head taller than his mother.

Bai Yiluanna held the young man’s hand and said gently, “You haven’t been sleeping well recently. I’ve also bought some spices from the capital. You’ll be able to sleep well when you go back.”

Hearing this, Kelly rubbed his nose guiltily. He couldn’t possibly say that he had insomnia because he had lost several professions, right?
