Chapter 249: Pure—Merchant

The agitation of scarlet and dark blue energy tore through the canyon space, and three figures collided and intersected amidst the falling rock debris, each counter-impact blowing the drizzle into ring-shaped air waves.

In Nie Yingying's fluttering blood-colored phantom, the wolf howl of Olaf shattering his ice armor and Margo's corrosive poison mist intertwined into a vortex of death.

Listening to the explosions and the crisp sound of metal clashing coming from the mist-filled area ahead from time to time, everyone in the Golden Ear Merchant Group no longer had any worries. Not to mention the incomparably powerful Miss Nie, they didn't believe that the mere bandit leaders "Ice Fang" and "Snake Vine" would be the opponents of that god.

Sure enough, the sound of battle coming from the front suddenly disappeared, and then the thick fog collapsed like salt meeting water. Wherever the drizzle passed, the fog barrier melted into winding transparent gullies. In just the blink of an eye, the incomparably thick gray-white fog dissipated completely.

The fog dissipated, and Nie Yingying used her blood-stained fingers to comb the loose hair falling in front of her forehead into a dark red back-combed style! In an instant, that proud female assassin transformed into a true Blood Clan warrior, and the murderous aura passed over her slightly raised jawline. (Note 1)

Xie Yaoyao, who was sitting back beside Konrad at some point, saw this scene, and a different color appeared on his face that was usually just silly or blank.

"Oh~"

The huge cheers of the caravan crowd woke Xie Yaoyao up, and his face returned to a brilliant silly smile again.

Only little Konrad among everyone saw the change in Xie Yaoyao's face, but the little kid didn't understand what this meant. He had his own guess—could it be that Miss Nie's younger brother couldn't bear the will of the god with his mortal body, so he became so silly?

Or is he a God-favored One?

I heard that only those with the purest hearts can become God-favored Ones, so the purest heart belongs to a fool?

That god is the God of Storms, it seems... maybe... probably... Druids worship nature itself, and lightning and storms are also part of nature!

Hmm, reasonable!

Little Konrad's eyes were blindingly bright.

In the future, one day I can also possess such power—and then I can travel around the world calmly.

When Nie Yingying walked back to the caravan limping, everyone silently made way for her, and no one questioned or blamed her previous decision anymore.

Little Konrad took the initiative to step forward to support Nie Yingying, and without caring about the blood stains on her, he helped her into his own luxurious carriage.

Seeing Xie Yaoyao, who was following at the end, also get into the carriage, old manager Kalomu immediately ordered the caravan's grooms and servants to prepare to continue on the road. No one wanted to stay in a place where the smell of blood and burnt stench intertwined.

The caravan continued on its journey, and the mood of everyone in the team was obviously much higher than before.

If one had to choose one thing that business people care about most, it would undoubtedly be safety. And now, everyone in the entire caravan believed from the bottom of their hearts that they were incomparably safe. No bandit could harm them under the gaze of Miss Nie and that god.

Soon, the caravan passed through Black Fern Valley, and Nie Yingying's injuries also recovered as before under the powerful bloodline power of the 【Blood Clan】.

The Rhine Kingdom is located in the middle of the Fairytale World, while Longfang City-State is far in the south of the continent. Between them are the Lieshi Principality, the Lunqin Empire, the Yinhui Lianbang, and a Cuiwu Huilang, where the Cuiwu Huilang connects the Emerald Forest and the Miwu Senlin along the mountain trend.

The caravan headed south all the way, passing by the roaring Crystal Cluster Thunderstorm Area, where purple lightning was splitting crystal peaks into natural pipe organs; passing through the Eternal Day Pasture of the Radiant Plains, where light-prism grass woven pasture nets condensed sunlight into liquid gold streams; stepping over the mirror salt lakes patrolled by the Yinhui Lianbang's Starlight Cavalry, where the rainbow light refracted during the day wove flowing gemstone halos between the pack horses' manes; and also witnessing the forest in the morning light—the thousand-year-old trees of the Cuiwu Huilang released healing morning dew at dawn.

Nie Yingying was incomparably satisfied with this journey, not only witnessing countless magnificent natural landscapes of this fairytale world along the way, but also occasionally having bandits jump out to be sparring partners for her.

And Nie Yingying also saw many different sides of Travelers. Along the way, she found that not only would Travelers mix into bandits, but even the caravans encountered on the road could occasionally see the traces of Travelers. It seems that not all Travelers chose combat profession entries.

The most typical one was a Traveler named Lu Qian. This guy had a blue 【Merchant】 entry and a blue 【Strong and Robust】 entry on his head, and then led his caravan to do business everywhere in the Fairytale World.

The two caravans happened to hide in the same mountain cave to avoid the rain during a rainstorm. If it weren't for the fact that everyone was Chinese and only found out that this guy was a Traveler after chatting.

According to Lu Qian, he is a person who loves traveling very much. By chance, he entered this Fairytale World. He started traveling everywhere at the first time, but he soon found that budget travel was unrealistic, so he organized a caravan to hire bodyguards. His caravan didn't need to make too much money, as long as it could cover his travel expenses and the expenses of hiring bodyguards.

It can be said that his caravan was just a guarantee for his travel.

But because of this, Lu Qian was never short of money, and according to him, he had been to most countries in the Fairytale World.

Facing such a special person, Nie Yingying couldn't help but ask Lu Qian if he knew a way to enter the "Moonlight Territory" to find the Elves' station.

Originally, Nie Yingying was just asking with a try-it-out attitude. In fact, she didn't hold much hope, after all, the other party was only Second Tier.

But she didn't expect that this real Traveler named Lu Qian actually gave very useful information.

"I remember that the final destination of the Golden Ear Merchant Group that Miss Nie is following is Longfang City-State, right!"

"Yes, although no one knows where the Elves' station is, the most recognized place on the continent is in the Miwu Senlin around Longfang City-State."

Hearing Nie Yingying's honest answer, Lu Qian laughed loudly.

"Hahaha, Miss Nie, this saying... right, but also wrong!"

Facing the merchant's laughter in front of her, Nie Yingying was instantly pleasantly surprised.

"You know! You know where the Elves' station is? Mr. Lu, as long as you tell me the real address of the Elves, I... I can promise you one thing, one thing within my power!" Nie Yingying immediately made a promise. "I am a Fifth-Tier 【Blood Clan】!"

To prove the value of her promise, Nie Yingying showed the entry on her head without hesitation.

Nie Yingying's strength today can be called an expert among all Travelers in the world, but Lu Qian in front of her didn't care. It was when he saw Nie Yingying's 【Crimson Baron】 title entry that he showed an interested expression. ===== CHAPTER 250 =====
