According to the information I heard yesterday, there are people in the southern continent who are now spreading the teachings of the ancient gods everywhere.

The current timeline is more than 20 years ago...

Even more than 20 years later, only famous wizards or powerful nobles could know about this. If we were to go back more than 20 years ago, the Wizarding Association had not yet become as powerful as it is now, and those stories about ancient gods might have just begun.

Sean believed that Yog-Sothoth sending him here at this point in time would not be meaningless, and he would definitely be able to find Nyarlathotep's traces here.

First you have to find it!

As for whether or not he can defeat...

Look at your arms.

Now my level seems to have been improved a lot, which can be seen from the fact that more attributes are displayed. Coupled with the fireworks of Cthugha and the ability of the Ruler of Time, I wonder if I can fight back and forth with the enemy who is also one of the main gods!

Fortunately, as I said before, the other party is just one of many incarnations. He is not an important character and is just here to cause trouble.

But even this kind of chaos is enough to destroy myself in the normal timeline!

His own time point was stuck at the point of the enriched uranium explosion and there was no way to avoid it. Even if Yug could help him escape that disaster, he would still keep encountering the traps designed by the other party... Unless he could get out of it at the very beginning, he would always be stuck in the timeline where he was looking for himself and the other party was constantly creating trouble.

………………

From the morning till noon...

Sean felt much more enjoyable on this voyage, at least it was much more comfortable than the last time he led the warship.

Even passenger ships travel slower when the sea is calm, and most of the people travelling along are ordinary boatmen and delivery merchants, who don’t go fast!

"Is this brother also planning to do business in the South?"

Just as Sean was planning his next move, he noticed someone approaching and greeted him directly.

"You are..."

Sean turned around and saw a young man of the same age as him standing behind him with a flattering look on his face.

"My name is Lucas. I just saw you staring into the distance in a daze, so I came over to ask you out of curiosity," he said with a smile.

A handsome young man, dressed in eye-catching clothes, actually a rather fancy type... and the attributes displayed are:

【Blood volume, human.】

[Favorability: Friendly]

[Combat Power: 300]

[A cunning, greedy, possessive, and strategic businessman, but also very warm towards his own kind.]

Sean frowned as he read the description.

So that makes you a miser.

"Brother, are you not used to riding a boat?" Lucas asked, as if he saw Sean frowning.

"Oh, no. I was just lost in thought." Sean said with a smile.

Perhaps it was his aristocratic attire that piqued his interest. After all, he was described as a businessman who could judge the situation, and there were many customers wearing the same attire, but he just happened to value himself.

"Is this your first time doing business here?"

Still trying.

"Not really... I'm just walking around, just to relax." He answered the other person casually.

Since yesterday, people have occasionally greeted me. Apart from being rich, the most important reason is that I dress very elegantly, at least more elegantly than the average aristocrat. You have to know that this is the outfit of a prince in twenty years' time, and I'm afraid that the royal family of this era may not have similar attire.

"I see. This is truly an enviable trip. I remember I also loved traveling alone a few years ago... Haha, but it was mainly due to the busy schedule at home."

Lucas simply stood next to Sean and started chatting with him in a familiar manner.

As expected, he changed into a businessman. He just casually found a topic and started chatting...

If one could not see the other person's emotional changes and personality cues, ordinary people would probably just go along with the conversation.

But it also happened that

The other person is just an ordinary person. His biggest wish may be to find out about your background and see if it's worth making friends with him. As long as he doesn't say it out loud, you can get a lot of information from him.

"So the Lucas brothers are the same as me." As if he had found a topic, Sean's acting was not necessarily worse than others.

"My name is Sean. I'm from the country in the middle of Adak. I was cooped up at home for too long, so I ran out for a walk. You know... that place... is pretty annoying."

Stirring up a few words is sometimes necessary to give the other person room to imagine.

"Hahaha...it seems that Brother Sean is also a sentimental person and doesn't like to live in seclusion like a girl."

The two of them started chatting with each other.

From the other party's introduction, Sean roughly learned that Lucas was originally from a merchant family in the eastern country of Adak. He had followed his elders to do business in the north and south for many years since he was a child.

In this era, the merchants that people envy are only the local tycoons, like the Morgan family and the Diawara family in Oro City. However, most of the people who call themselves merchant families are traveling merchants.

Children do not need to learn too much, and do not need to go to college to learn so many rules and regulations. As long as they can recognize words and do some simple arithmetic, they can follow their elders to travel around the world and their home will never be fixed.

Even the family motto of a large number of traveling merchants is that after reaching adulthood, they are given some start-up capital and can resell goods everywhere. There is no need for any family gatherings or coming back. They can go wherever they want. As long as they remember their surname, they will not forget their faith.

In Sean's opinion, this method of education is pretty cool!

This time, Lucas purchased a batch of spices from Duskwan Town, intending to resell them all to the southern countries.

In Xerxes, alchemists often use various alchemical potions to grow crops, resulting in the soil there no longer being able to grow spices, so they have to rely on purchasing.

"But I'm afraid it will be a little difficult this time?"

"Why."

Lucas sighed and said something, then pointed to the fleet of several ships in front whose sails could be seen.

"Brother Sean, did you see those ships up ahead? They're from the famous Camel Caravan, a merchant caravan company in Muwan Town. They've also bought a large amount of spices this time. I'm worried that with their financial resources and scale, they'll soon overwhelm us individual merchants!"

Sean didn't care about Lucas's worries at all, but at this point he almost understood the other party's intentions. He probably wanted him to invest a little money in him to make ends meet.

However, just as Sean was staring blankly at the boatman behind the deck... a figure suddenly caught his attention!
