My Passive Skills are Invincible! - Chapter 193
Chapter 193: A Caravan From the Ancient Cloud City
“Teacher, where are we going? To your hometown?” Timus followed Mike and asked curiously.
They had already left Violet Valley, but Timus still did not know where Mike was going.
Mike answered while he thought about the possibility of returning.
“To the Centaur tribe.”
“Centaur tribe? Teacher, your hometown is in the Centaur Tribe?”
Timus was very surprised, but Mike could not be bothered with him.
Or rather, he did not have time to bother with Timus now.
He would go back the way he came.
According to this train of thought, if he wanted to go back, then the best thing he could do now was to use the soul stone.
The soul stone was in Mike’s backpack and could be taken out as he wished.
However, Mike had come to this world with the Centaur ritual.
If he wanted to go back now, he had to rely on the Centaur ritual.
So now he had to go to the Centaur tribe.
That was Mike’s thought process.
However, there was still a loophole and Mike wasn’t sure if it would affect it.
The previous Centaur ritual was to remove the curse of the Centaur, not to send Mike to a parallel world.
As for why Mike came to this parallel world, he did not know.
In other words, the Centaur tribe probably could not send Mike back.
Although he was not 100% certain, Mike still had to try.
He had no other choice!
Along the way, Timus kept asking, but he did not get any answers.
Seeing Mike’s ignorance, he could only shut up and obediently follow Mike.
The two of them walked for a while. Timus suddenly pointed to a place not far away and said,
“Teacher, there seems to be a caravan there.”
Mike subconsciously turned his head and looked over. It was indeed a caravan.
On the road, there were a few people guiding some horses. Although they had horses, they did not ride on them because the horses had to carry the goods.
Only a caravan would do that.
Mike stopped in his tracks and hesitated for a moment. In the end, he nodded and said,
“Alright, then let’s go and take a look.”
If it was in the game world, Mike would definitely not care if he saw a caravan.
Because the caravan sold ordinary goods that could be bought in the main cities.
Moreover, their goods were more expensive than those in the main cities.
However, now, Mike had to take a look.
Because he was hungry.
In this parallel world, Mike was not a player. He would feel hungry, thirsty, fatigued, and sleepy.
Therefore, it was necessary to buy some supplies from the caravan.
The two of them changed their direction and approached the caravan.
The caravan seemed to have noticed Mike and Timus and stopped in their tracks.
They were operating anyway. If someone took the initiative to buy something, they would naturally not refuse.
The main reason was that these two people did not look like bandits. Otherwise, they would have long escaped.
When they approached, the captain of the caravan took the initiative to smile and say,
“Do you want to buy something?”
Mike nodded and asked in return,
“What goods do you have here?”
“There’s too many!” When the captain of the caravan heard that Mike was indeed here to buy things, he immediately became enthusiastic and introduced his own goods.
Of course, most of them were ordinary goods, but there were also some local products of the city.
“Alright then, give me a few portions of food and water,” said Mike.
When he heard this, the captain revealed a trace of unnoticeable disappointment.
Food and water were both very cheap goods that could not earn him much money.
However, when Mike took out a gold coin and threw it over, the captain’s eyes were wide open.
A few servings of water and food could be bought with a few copper coins.
However, this customer was actually so generous?
This made the caravan captain immediately become greedy.
He called the other caravan members to prepare water and food for Mike and Timus while quietly pulling Mike to the side and said mysteriously,
“Customer, I have a very strange item here. Are you interested?”
“A very strange item?” Mike raised his eyebrows.
Almost nothing of value would appear in a caravan. All the players knew about this.
However, that was in the game. Now, he was in a parallel world.
Nothing was certain.
Even Timus could turn into a shameless young man. Why couldn’t a caravan have good things?
“Let’s take a look.” Mike nodded.
Hearing Mike’s words, the captain of the caravan was obviously excited.
He immediately took out a sheepskin scroll tied with a red ribbon and handed it to Mike, saying in a low voice,
“I bought this from the Tomb Raider. He said it was a good thing from an ancient ruin.
“Even though the Tomb Raider and I don’t know what this thing is used for, but it shouldn’t be an ordinary item.”
If such words were placed elsewhere, the caravan captain would definitely be beaten up.
You did not know what it was, yet you dared to say that it was definitely not an ordinary item?
However, it wouldn’t be so here.
This was because the sheepskin scroll was engraved with extremely complex runes.
In this world, runes represented value.
Things with runes were indeed not ordinary goods.
“You also know that I am a merchant.
“A merchant’s principle is to make money, so I have no interest in this sheepskin scroll.
“If you are interested, I can sell it to you at a cheap price. How about 100 gold coins?”
A greedy look appeared in the caravan captain’s eyes.
Although runes represented value, this was still an item of unknown origin. No one knew what effect this sheepskin scroll had.
The price was definitely not worth such a high price.
In fact, the caravan captain had only spent 3 gold coins when he bought it from the Tomb Raider.
He had also seen that Mike was generous and looked wealthy. That was why he was so greedy.
However, to his surprise, Mike took out a bag of gold coins without any hesitation.
“100 gold coins, take it.” Mike threw the small bag to the captain of the caravan.
The captain of the caravan received the heavy bag and was slightly surprised. He opened the bag and saw a pile of gold coins.
It did not matter whether there were 100 gold coins or not. The caravan captain had profited after receiving so many gold coins.
After the players came to Second World, their special loot system had greatly increased the production of gold coins.
Hence, in this Second World without players, 100 gold coins were already a huge sum.
He immediately surrounded Mike and said all kinds of nice words. He also promised that if Mike went to Ancient Cloud City, the chamber of commerce would treat him well.
Mike did not care about these words at all. He had never heard of the Ancient Cloud City or anything like that.
His attention was now completely focused on this sheepskin scroll.
Because he felt that this sheepskin scroll seemed a little familiar.
