After Elias said that singular sentence, The merchant replies
'' Hello traveler.. I think that you are heading to allure village all by yourself,..... you look preety exhausted considering that you are resting at a bench plus your leather boots are worn out just by walking''
'' Maybe I will help you to reach your destination, The allure village, Adventurer'' The merchant said calmly
After Elias heard that, he was surprised because the merchant decided to help a stranger that was lying at the bench, He saw a positive emotion that races through his mind
And with kindness, Elias reluctantly agrees at the merchant and immediately goes to the back of the cart along the supplies that the merchant been carrying,
Then the cart suddenly moves, The horse carrying the cart and started heading to the main path that leads to allure village, the village of flowers
The mercahant is a old man in his forties, he is a strong man that sells goods and other produces from other people, he lives in allure village, the same village that Elias goes to in order to survive.
And while the cart was moving at a fast pace, The merchant asks Elias in a question
''what are you doing in this wilderness all by yourself, Do adventurers need at least two to three people for staying in the wild''
Upon hearing this, Elias knew that he survived the wilderness all by himself, without the support of others and help, all by himself with the use of his knowledge and understanding about the wilderness, So, Elias told the truth,
'' Well, Mister... I survived alone in this wilderness, partially not an adventurer''
Then the mercaht simple replies to Elias
'' Oh yeah... This explains the huge scar that was on your right side .... Right?'' The merchant asks in question
Then Elias glances at his right hand once again, showing teh huge scar that was made by the wolves sinec Elias was at the wilderness, Barely surviving
Elias remembered the huge scar that was in his right hand, it was mauled by the sharp claws that the wolves have, Its wound tear my muscles especially my nerves that was located at my right hand,, I felt that traumatic experience all again, I cannot forget that feeling ever again, But I survived by using the green potion that was in the buff section of the merchant store, Saving my life in the process
Then Elias said to the merchant in a overwhelming state
'' Ugh..... So I lived in the wilderness in a whole week, and every night I was hunted by wolves every day managing to survive, Yeah.... I was a beat up person''
The merchant saw Elias eyes visually hiding the pain, he knew that Elias was telling the truth but didn't want to tell his traumatic expriences and didn't have a plan to share his pain while survive this wilderness.
'' Oh..... I guess your lucky surviving this widerness, As a token of gratitude..... Here a pouch of apples, I don't need it anymore and it is free, no charges are available''
After giving the pouch of apples from Elias, his smile regained and thanked the merchant from his kindness, Then, Elias took one apple from the pouch and immediately ate it, the sweet and juicy apple made Elias confortable because he hasn't eaten good in these days, only relying on water and wild berries that was naturally found in the jungle,
And after that, The merchant horse suddenly stops as he saw a guard that was patrolling the perimeter, The merchant saw a black and brown guard that Elias immediately recognizes, it is the status guard,
The merchant asks Elias to leave the cart because the status guard didn't wanted to allow any passangers on his cart
Then Elias left the cart holding a stash of apples that the merchant gave earlier and immediately equipped his backpack, he knew that he will need a identification card in order to gain access to the allure village safely and securely
The status guard asks the merchant below '' Mister, please show us your identification card please''
Then the merchant reluctantly showed the identification card that was in his pockets all the time, stored in place, He gave the identification card to the status guard on order to gain access to his village
'' Polk Emerus, 42 years old, your job is merchant and your current rank is 112,974 th place and your ability points are 1,637, is this correct?'' Status guard said calmly
Then the merchant replied'' Yes sir''
After that, the status guard shouted at the patrolling guards at the watch tower, telling them to open the gates of allure village, hoping to enter the merchant to the village, Then the guards lowered the gates and immediately opens it, letting the merchant and its cart to safely enter the village,
