Chapter 266 My Father Is Apparently A VIP Merchant



"I-It is not a problem, its friendship!" Said Aquarina. She was so stubborn that it was useless to argue with the little girl. She was practically my family anyways so I didn\'t mind her getting like that.

"Okay calm down, look, we are getting closer now. Should we walk down the carriage?" I wondered.

"There\'s no need, I\'ll handle the guard." Said my father.

There was a brown-haired guard wearing steel armor, he was standing still there while holding a spear with another soldier at the other side of the large wooden gate. The guard quickly walked towards our carriage as he noticed us.

"Hello, what do you plan on doing in the town? Do you any identifications? Adventurer ID, or Merchant ID?" Asked the guard.

"Yeah I have this." Said my father, showing a golden card to the guard.

"T-This is… a VIP Merchant ID! Lord Allen Forestgrain, welcome to the Town! Please, go on." Said the man, as I was left speechless.

My father goes by Allen Forestgrain and he\'s a VIP Merchant?! What the heck? From where did this even came from? Absolutely nowhere!

"Forestgrain?!" I asked.

"Ahahaha, it is a false name I made with the help of a friend, this ID is actually legit, so when they touched it with that one small staff, and glowed, it meant it was authentic." Said my father. "You see, Merchants are usually welcomed anywhere, unlike adventurers where only high ranked ones are admired, but if you\'re a high ranked adventurer you\'re bound to bring a lot of attention, meanwhile, even VIP Merchants won\'t make such a fuss when they arrive, but they\'re welcomed with open arms by everybody." My father explained.

"But what\'s a VIP Merchant?" I wondered.

"It is a concept that started in the Lilyann Kingdom, a Kingdom of Merchants where the Merchant Guild, which is now widespread across the entire continent and even the Atlanta Continent was originated. This Merchant Guild allows for the easy access of merchants to all places in… almost both continents with ease. It is a massive organization for all these greedy men to help each other, apparently." Said my mother. "Your father got a VIP card with a false name from a friend of ours from the Lilyann Kingdom years ago, it is a useful pass to get anywhere."

"I am actually a terrible merchant, I don\'t know anything of this stuff, your mother is the smart one that does all the economy stuff," Said my father rather proudly of his ignorance and lack of knowledge.

"Hahaha! Imagining Allan as a merchant is always hilarious." Said Shade, laughing cheerfully for the first time in a while.

"O-Oi! Don\'t make fun of me in front of my daughter, Shade!" Said my father.

"Well, now that we are inside the town where should we leave the carriage? We got a massive lizard here…" Said Nepheline.

"Let\'s go to the plaza into that one direction, that\'s where most of the carriages are left, there are guards in there where the merchants can have their things well guarded." Said my father. "Another great benefit of being a merchant."

I feel like my father is cheating… Oh well, as we traveled across the streets of the beautiful Bright Dawn Town, I saw a lot of beautiful places. I was feeling the urge of just going out to sightsee everything I wanted. The houses around the walls were small and rustic, but inside it was a whole different thing, it was like a modern city in my previous life, with paved streets, colorful houses made of stone and cement, there were illuminate streets with magic lamps, and many other carriages were moving around the streets as well as thousands of people doing their own daily lives. Children playing in the streets, adults going to their jobs, and we even saw the sight of an empty territory where a lot of people was building a house there. It was a very active town.

We reached the big plaza that father spoke about, as we found many other carriages there being taken care by dozens of guards, seeing how much they invested in protecting the goods of merchants, this city really valued them, I guess.

Our carriage barely had anything anyways, as my parents were going to store anything we buy using the Spatial Storage Spell. After leaving the carriage there, we quickly moved forward into our next plans, sightseeing, and buying anything we want!

…Well, more like whatever is needed, we won\'t buy the entire town or something.

"Alright Sylphy, don\'t let go of my hand." Said my mother, as she was the one to hold my hand at the end, while my father was guarding us from behind. Aquarina was in the safe fashion too, while Zack as well. We were not even ten years of age I suppose so still holding the hand of our parents is a thing… Ugh, though in front of so many strangers, it really makes me embarrassed.

My mother quickly took out a list from her pocket and began to read it.

"Let\'s see… well, we are the closest to the food market, so let\'s go there right away, we need to buy a lot of veggies, eggs, milk, sugar and salt, that\'s what we need the most. Meat can be gotten anytime by hunting so its not really a priority, but if we found something tasty I guess we could buy it." Said my mother.

As my mother explained to me, I suddenly felt the delicious scent of grilled meat. It had been only two hours since we had breakfast but I was already feeling a bit hungry… There was a small cart with a man selling skewered meat, and he was covering it with a strange and sweet-smelling black sauce… Uwah, I am getting hungrier.
