Chapter 13 : Start the journey back

It was then that I noticed the silver coin in the tray. No matter how you look at it, it's definitely less than 500 coins, not even 100 Silver Coins.

"Sir, I said I would sell it for 500 Silver Coins, but the money on the tray looked very little less."

"Haha, really a country boy. Haven't you even seen a big coin? Let me tell you, this little silver coin is a normal silver coin. The big silver coin is called the big coin. It's worth 10 small silver coins. There are 45 large silver coins in this tray and 50 small coins, for a total of 500 silver coins. Do you think that's correct?"

I immediately understood. And I don't know why I immediately thought the total number of coins was correct as the shopkeeper said. It seemed to my previous life these calculations were very easy. But I raised my hand. Try to count my fingers for him to see. with a confused expression

Uh... a country boy who doesn't even know a big silver coin. If he can multiply difficult numbers would look extremely suspicious.

"Enough, you don't have to count your fingers. I won't cheat you. You count your fingers all day You probably don't understand how much."

The shopkeeper said in annoyance after seeing me standing there counting my fingers with a dazed.

"I trust you. Here, this mushroom belongs to you, sir."

I handed the mushrooms in my hand to him. The shopkeeper took it and stood staring at it as if it was the most beautiful woman he had ever met in his life. At the same time I put all the money in the tray into my leather bag.

"Sir, can I buy that green bottle?

"You're going to buy poison? Why would a child like you want it for?"

"Um..."

"Don't worry. I'm always willing to sell. My name, Felix, never asks what my customers are buying poison for and I'm ready to sell it to everyone. That's my shop policy haha."

"How much is this green bottle,sir?"

"I give you a special discount for bringing a treasures to me. It's usually 20 Silver Coins. I only charge you 15 Silver Coins."

"Thank you, this is money,sir."

I handed him 15 silver coins. and then closed my leather bag as tightly as possible. Then turned around and tried to walk out of the store to look as normal as possible. He didn't show any signs of urgency.

"Good luck young man. If you find something like this again You have to sell it to me."

I heard the shopkeeper speak from behind the moment I stepped out of the drugstore door. After making sure the door is completely closed I immediately speed up my footsteps.

After this there will be an easy part and a very difficult part. The easy part was that I just walked back to my home.I still remember the way to go out of the town well in my head. But what was very difficult was if someone had known that there was a young man carrying this much money while traveling alone. There must be many people willing to come looking for me.

If I can disguise or hide my real face, it would be of great help. But I'm just a young boy Somehow the other person listened to my voice and knew that I was a young man.

My apparent height as a boy was very easy to find. And I don't have any disguise or magic abilities to change faces. If I'm going to disguise it, it's going to have to be a complete outfit, maybe a mask and other stuff.But before I can sell this mushroom I can't even get money to buy food.

And more importantly, I had to urgently use the money. Otherwise I would have starved to death before I had time to think about planned my survival in this new world. I don't have enough time to prepare anything else.

What I did by walking straight into sales today might seem a little silly.

But I also thought that if my sales were not known to anyone other than the store owner. I would be able to sneak back home without a problem.

As I thought my footstep walked at high speed. until I got to the point where the robbers had robbed me earlier. All the thieves were still laying on the ground in front of me. Some lay unconscious, others writhed in pain. But it seems that even the strength to cry is almost exhausted

"That girl, Lisa, kicked really hard. If I was kicked by that girl, wouldn't I die instantly?"

I didn't hesitate when I saw the bandits lying on the floor. hurriedly walked in and kicked a full power at the head of the still conscious thief.

"You bastards don't know how to work for a living. A bastards like you needs to be hurt even more."

After I had vented to the bandits so many times that they were all unconscious, I ran out of the alley. I don't know if the bandits still have allies left in the area or not. Not long after, I came out to the slum village area.

I try to look left and right to make sure no one was staring at me in particular. When I was sure, I rushed forward at a speed that didn't catch the attention of many people around me.

The return journey seemed to go very smoothly. Because of the path when I entered, I still remember it clearly in my head. Soon after, I left the slum alley and began to see the bustling atmosphere of the main street.

"Finally came to the main street. From now on, just walk along the main street to the Town Gate and head straight home."

Looking up at the sun, it was probably around 15 o'clock. I'm not sure what time the town doors closed. But if I walk a little faster, I should be able to make it in time.

Along the way, I saw many goods for sale along the street. There was a bookstore, a clothing store, and there seemed to be children running loudly selling newspapers. It seems that this world Printing technology has evolved quite a bit.

There are so many things I want to buy. especially the book Knowledge is of the utmost importance. Especially in the world where I know nothing about it. But I had to restrain myself. The most important thing now is to hurry back home.

Probably because the body was used to traveling in the forest and on the mountain. I walked for about half an hour and saw the Town Gate not far in front of me. without even feeling tired

along the way I noticed one big problem. That's my precious silver coin, clattering loudly along the way. But on the way past due to crowds So it doesn't interest the people around me. But if you pass through the checkpoint of the guards may be suspected and sought to be searched.

I have some good ideas. So I swept my eyes around. And I found my goal that's grandma that I asked for directions when I entered the town I went to see Grandma It looked like she was packing up to close the vegetable shop.

"Hello Grandma"

"Huh? Are you the boy from this morning?"

"yes"

"How's it going, have you bought the medicine already?"

"It's all done. I just want a thin rope to tie the medicine bag to prevent it from falling on the way back. Does Grandma have a rope?"

"A thin rope? Yes, every grocery store has a rope. to tie the bag with the product when selling"

She finished speaking and took a thin rope of moderate length and handed it to me.

"Thank you very much, Grandma. If there is a chance, I will repay today's gratitude."

"A small matter, I'm happy to help. Have a safe trip back, young man."

After that, I walked into an alley that wasn't too far away, looking around when I saw that no one was paying attention to me. I opened the leather bag. Then use a rope to tie the coins together to form a bunch. Like this, when the bag is swaying, the coin won't clash until there's a loud noise that attracts attention."

After that, I hurriedly walked to the line of people walking out of the town. I feel that the Guard at the Town Gate now is noticeably less intense than it was in the morning.

especially the row of people leaving The guards seemed to just stand and watch. didn't call anyone to check anything

After a while, I continued to walk in line. until finally walking through the door of the town I hurriedly continued walking until I entered the village area outside the town. At this point, I was much relieved. Looks like the owner of that drugstore He didn't tell anyone about me. for whatever reason But it's very good for me.

"The rest is just heading home. My trip this time seems to have succeeded in the end."

****

At the same time, at a drugstore in the slum area.

"Little boy, you think you can deceive me? You're willing to take the risk to sell at a shop in the slums like this. It shows that you do not dare to sell in a crowded shop outside. Show that you have an important secret hidden. fear of being known by others so you have chosen to come to my shop."

"Don't worry. I won't let anyone else know for sure. The secret of the Hundred-Year-Old Herb's birthplace is only for me to know, and that money, it's almost all the money I have.

If I get more hundred-year-old herbs and that money of mine I am very confident that I will be able to prepare for the entrance test for the Magicians Guild."

After that, the drug store owner locked the entrance to the shop. Then walked out of the shop through the back door, disappearing out of the slum alley.
