Chapter 143: New NPC (Part 3)
The deep tracks left by the cart wheels suggested that they were carrying a lot of goods.
The merchants were surprised to see people working in the pit.
Both sides were so taken aback by their first encounter that they stood there for a while without saying anything.
The player who is lead the townspeople in their work was Pork Rib Boss.
He then asked, "Is there anything you need help with?" Continue your saga on m|v-l'e-NovelFire
The head merchant finally snapped out of his daze.
He had traveled to many places, but only Ulon Town had caught his eye.
What were they building here?
It was supposed to be a small town, but it looked like it was already the size of a large city.
"Is this Ulon Town?" the merchant asked.
Pork Rib Boss replied, "Yes, it is."
The merchant nodded his head and said, "Then this must be the place. We heard from Lindblum City that Ulon Town hasn't been taken over by the demons yet, so we thought we'd come and see if there's anything unexpected to gain."
Then he removed his hat and looked out into the distance.
Not only had Ulon Town not been overtaken by the demons, but it also seemed to be thriving, growing stronger and more prosperous.
How was this possible?
The merchant, who had seen much of the world, had never come across a small town that could remain so calm and show no fear in the face of a demon army.
Thinking this over, the merchant decided to stay closely connected with Ulon Town, sensing a big opportunity, "I'm a merchant, of course, I'm here to do business. Who's in charge here? I'd like to speak with them."
Pork Rib Boss replied, "For now, Father Barry is the acting mayor of the town. You can talk to him if you have any business."
The merchant was surprised, "Before coming here, I heard that the God of Light had awakened in Ulon Town. Was it Father Barry who awakened the God of Light?"
Pork Rib Boss was surprised the merchant knew so much.
It seemed that after their trip to Lindblum City, the news had spread through various channels.
This merchant standing before him was bold, the first to come and see what was really going on.
Pork Rib Boss nodded his head and silently led the merchant's group.
The merchant then asked, "I also heard that the God of Light had summoned the heroes. Have you met these heroes?"
Pork Rib Boss opened his mouth, wanting to say that he was one of the heroes, but the words wouldn't come out.
The merchant didn't pay much attention to Pork Rib Boss's reaction and continued, "I also heard that someone important from the Church of Light appeared in Ulon Town. It was their idea to resist the demons and establish a defensive frontline here. Have you seen this important person?"
Pork Rib Boss didn't know what to say.
The more the merchant spoke, the less he understood.
Could the important person from the Church of Light be referring to Hanjun?
But they didn't even know what Hanjun's true identity was.
Fortunately, during their conversation, Pork Rib Boss had already led the merchant to the entrance of the church.
At that moment, a Ragdoll Cat was lounging by the church door, sunbathing with its paws tucked under it.
Hearing some movement, the cat lifted its eyelids slightly before lowering them again.
Pork Rib Boss quietly said to the cat, "There are visitors outside. They want to discuss something with Father Barry."
The Ragdoll Cat yawned, got up from the ground, stretched lazily, and then turned around to walk into the church.
The merchant looked up at the church and exclaimed, "This really is a church that could awaken the God of Light. Look at its ancient design; it's still in the style of last century's churches. The Priest here must be extraordinary."
Pork Rib Boss followed the merchant's gaze and saw the church with its peeling walls, falling silent.
In truth, the church was just poor and couldn't afford renovations.
How did the merchant come up with so many ideas from that?
Father Barry quickly came out of the church, looked at Pork Rib Boss, and then at the merchant standing next to him.
After Pork Rib Boss explained the situation, Father Barry said excitedly, "Welcome, welcome! It's been a long time since a trading caravan has come to Ulon Town."
The merchant laughed heartily and replied, "Indeed. If this were the old Ulon Town, we wouldn't have even heard of it. But now, you all are on the front lines, and everyone on the World of Eorera knows about your deeds. There are even some people who aren't part of the caravan that followed me here because they heard I was coming here."
Father Barry was thrilled.
He never imagined that Ulon Town would develop this far under his leadership.
Of course, without the help of Hanjun and the heroes, this wouldn't have been possible.
The merchant quickly asked, "Is there anything you need? I heard from Mr. Turner in Lindblum City that you're short on food, but unfortunately, I don't have much food with me this time."
Father Barry quickly waved his hand.
They weren't lacking food; in fact, the town's granaries were already full.
They even temporarily stopped the quest of making Accelerated Growth Potions because the granaries were overflowing.
Seeing that they didn't need food, the merchant was relieved and said, "I have all sorts of strange things with me. All I need is a place to set up camp for a while."
Father Barry quickly nodded his head, but before he could say anything further, Hanjun suddenly appeared out of nowhere and asked, "Why don't you have much food either?"
The merchant didn't pay much attention to Hanjun but answered honestly, "It's because the things that happened in the east. There was a sudden locust plague, and most of the crops were eaten. All the food is being sold there, so I don't have much left."
