Chapter 130: Ellie, the Strange Merchant
The eastern part of the province is a plain, hilly and swampy wasteland, which is neither strategically important nor prosperous due to inconvenient transportation, and the small Cook Territory is not very remarkable in every way, and many people don't even know such a place, and even if they do, they can't remember which petty nobleman's territory it is.

Venus Town is one of only three towns in Cook Territory, located to the north of the Water Ghost Swamp, although it is not prosperous and does not have many floating populations to drive economic development, it belongs to the type that can live in a corner but can live in peace. The town can be said to be relatively closed, on weekdays only with a few neighboring villages, a long time to see a passing caravan, if the royal city of Augustus is a shining pearl, then Venus Town is probably an inconspicuous pebble in the dazzling light, really can't match its magnificent name.
Owen is one of the few herbalists in the town, although he is not very old, but he has been able to collect some ordinary herbs in the swamp in the south alone, which has something to do with his naughty and mischievous nature since he was a child. You know, even Owen's father, a veteran herbalist, didn't dare to go deep into the water ghost swamp.
Although there is still a long way to go before he is officially qualified as an herbalist, Owen, who has begun to retract his heart and become more and more calm, believes that he will be able to become the youngest herbalist in the town, and then he will let his father go to Emily's house to propose marriage, which will not be too long, he believes.
And now he is carrying a heavy silver mulberry in his arms, and his slightly immature face is full of beautiful longing and youthful restlessness, he is missing his Emily, and at the same time thinking about what kind of birthday gift she can give Emily with the hard-earned silver mulberry so that she can't help but give herself a sweet kiss in return.
The green years are always young and beautiful, whether it is a man or a woman. (These words...... There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that)
Hearing that a traveling merchant had recently arrived in town, Owen thought that Emily, who had always longed for the outside world, would like something new. So he asked a few acquaintances he met on the road, and soon found the merchant.
Although the town is not prosperous, although the sparrows are small, there are still basic markets, but it seems that no one has ever seen this traveling merchant go to the market to do business, but always wander around the town, as if he is walking all the time, Owen wonders if it is not tiring to run around with such a big bag on his back?
Yes, a big bag! a big bag! a super big bag! Owen had never seen such a big bag, and it was hard to imagine anyone being able to carry it easily. At a glance, Owen could only see a giant backpack that was four or five times larger than the average backpack from behind, as well as a pair of slender and white calves under the backpack. Not to mention the appearance, Owen can't even see the edge of the other party's clothes, but it looks like the other party is a girl?
Owen ran forward in disbelief, his gaze beginning to look beyond the huge backpack and finally catch a clear picture of the merchant. For a moment, Owen's heart seemed to pause, and then pounded uncontrollably.
What a cute girl!
The other party seemed to notice Owen's pursuit, so he turned sideways slightly, revealing a delicate face with a little inquiry, with a little confused cute appearance that made Owen's heart beat a few times, and he asked hesitantly, "Are you a businessman?"
The girl with the giant backpack on her back suddenly looked confused when she heard this, and her face instantly looked full of vitality, her eyes were bright, and she seemed to be able to speak. The girl turned to face Owen, her waist-length hair tied in a long ponytail also swayed, she nodded, and said with a happy face: " Of course, what do you want to buy, I have everything here, the price is clearly marked, Tong Su is not deceived, fake one pays ten, I tell you that the entire Akarin Continent belongs to me Ellie's reputation is the best, I don't believe you go to Brunt and ask those dead people, or go to Hobbit and ask those dwarfs, if you are too far away, then go and ask the people in the town, yesterday there was a bald uncle who bought hair growth pills from me, and when I saw him today, his hair was already as long as mine......"
Owen looked at the cute girl chattering in front of him, and still felt a little surprised, could it be that all the businessmen outside looked like this? Dressed in a black and white dress, he didn't look like the fat businessmen he had seen at all, but a little like a maid serving a noble lord, and he still had some difficulty calming down, because the backpack that looked like a small mountain was really on the back of such a petite girl, and it didn't look like the other party was reluctant at all, was it empty?
Owen's idea was tossed south into the swamp by the girl after the girl "gently" placed her backpack on the ground with a heavy thud.
Oh my God! I bet the toughest Bart in town wouldn't be able to carry such a backpack, well, maybe he'd last a few seconds, if Bart risked breaking his waist.
Owen was still in a state of confusion, but Ellie in front of her had already unbuttoned a few buttons of the backpack with great skill, and dismantled it a few times with ease, and then the huge backpack was spread out on the ground into a stall full of all kinds of strange items.
"I see you're tall and a natural knight!How can you not have a sword worthy of you?Come on, I happen to have a knight's sword used by the Hero King here......" Ellie balabala tried to put Owen in a "buy, buy, buy" chopping state.
However, the young man had no interest in the "old antiques" that looked like they were newly forged, he had never wanted to be a knight, he had only come here to pick out a birthday present for his beloved Emily.
The girl was even cuter than Emily, but she looked weird, and Owen interrupted the girl to continue selling him the odd merchandise, asking, "I want to give a girl a nice birthday present, do you have any of these items here, like a nice handkerchief, or a cute hairpin?"
"Oh~ I was going to give a girl a gift, so I said it earlier. You see, I'm also a girl, so I know best what kind of gifts girls want to receive. Ellie looked confident, then crouched down and opened a small pocket in her backpack and pulled out a small brown bag from it.
Ellie took the pouch and asked Owen mysteriously, "Do you know what kind of gifts girls like to receive the most?"
Owen shook his head directly and waited for the quirky girl's answer.
Gifts like handkerchiefs and hairpins will only make girls think you're old-fashioned, but it's okay to give them usually, but birthday gifts must surprise the other person and feel your sincerity, right?"
Owen nodded frequently at Ellie's words, and subconsciously asked, "Then what gift should I give to surprise Emily?"
"Of course it's—flowers! There's no girl who doesn't like flowers, but what I'm selling here isn't just ordinary flowers, but magical seeds with magical powers!" said Ellie, pouring out an ordinary-looking seed from the bag and handing it to Owen.
Owen was holding the little seed, and he could indeed feel a magical power as he looked at the strange traveling merchant. Ellie didn't wait for him to ask before explaining, "I got the magic seed from the mysterious Mage Federation, you just plant it in the soil, pour a little water, and it will quickly grow into a beautiful and elegant flower in front of your eyes." Think about it, what could be more surprising and even touching than for a girl to see such a magical and dreamy scene?"
"At that time, you can pluck this beautiful magic flower like a knight and offer it to your beloved princess, so it seems that you may need a knight's sword, and I am doing a big reward now, if you buy both together, I can give you a ninety-nine-seventy-seven discount, such a discount is hard to see in other merchants. ”
Hellish discount, Owen gritted his teeth and spent three silver mulberries to buy a magic seed, and went looking for his beloved Emily with a look of anticipation.
"Alas~ young man, you are so lucky, you spent three silver mulberries to buy magic items, which is absolutely impossible to put elsewhere, it is simply a free gift, it is the mercy of the god of wealth, remember to come to me when you need it~" Ellie watched the young man go away, skillfully and quickly packed up the stall, and picked up the huge backpack again.
She didn't go far before she met the bald uncle who bought hair growth agent from her yesterday, only to see that his hair was long to the ground, and he didn't even need makeup on the horror set next door, and he complained to Ellie that the effect of this hair growth agent was too good, and his hair has been growing since yesterday.
"When will this effect be finished?"
"Don't worry, it's good to have two more days, you buy a pair of scissors and deal with it yourself, it's not a big problem~"
As soon as Ellie's words fell, the person was almost disappearing from the end of the uncle's sight, she tilted her head and thought, maybe it was time to leave this town, otherwise there might be a lot of trouble to find her.
......
On the other hand, Owen was a little apprehensive and invited Emily to appreciate the magical and dreamy "gift" he brought, and he carefully poured some water on the slightly raised mound, and then Emily couldn't help but hide her mouth in amazement in front of this young couple who had never seen the world.
Moistened by the moisture and soil, the magic seeds that emitted a faint green light began to break open their shells at a speed visible to the naked eye, sprouting and taking root, and the tender green flower stems grew upwards in a vigorous and elegant manner, stretching out patches of verdant green leaves, and in the blink of an eye, a budding bud stood in front of the two with a delicate but tenacious will to grow.
Immediately afterwards, it was like a flower fairy who had just woken up and stretched out her beautiful figure, and the red petals stretched out and suddenly bloomed, making the two young people feel a throbbing of life.
Emily, who was almost full of tears, couldn't help but kiss Owen, praising it as a miracle of life, the most beautiful gift she had ever received, she gently caressed the slim flower, and then ...... Then I was entangled in the stalks and branches that suddenly grew wildly.
Tears poured down her eyes, but this time it wasn't for the fact that the beautiful flower of magic began to wrap around Emily's hands, lifting her long skirt and touching her private parts.
It's just a step from heaven to hell, and Emily is experiencing this thrilling shift, while Owen ...... Maybe it's both, and while he yells hell, he also feels a little excited about the scene full of benefits in front of him.
Oh! Today is the worst day!
