Chapter 122 - Desert Merchant Tezach (2/2)
”Hey there, new face! All of my goods are in top quality! You won't feel bad buying goods on me!” Tezach said.
”Oh, good morning. I am a new guy in this place and I still don't know what is going on in this place. Do you know any sort of tricks I needed to know while in this continent?”
”Is that so? Are you one of the rumored Pioneer that the goddess Titania is talking about?”
”Yes. That's right.”
”Ohohoho, then you just talked to the one of the best owners that sells quality goods! I am Tezach, many knows me as the Desert Merchant Tezach, but hey! Since you are polite even though I am goblin, you can just call me Tezach without honorifics!”
-Friendship points of Tezach has risen.
Looks like he is still a very good guy to talk to.
”I am surprised you don't talk like most goblins talk with the ”chiik-chiik” sound.”
”Hahaha, living in the human society for too long allowed me to take on the habit of speaking properly and get that kind of way to talk out of my system. It is much better in business if you know how to talk properly after all.”
”Is that so? Then do you have any recommendations for me to get while I am here? Since this is the first time I have gone in this place, maybe you have some thing you can introduce to me.”
”Good! I know two things you needed in this continent to avoid having heat strokes which is an insane debuff. You can't keep on functioning if you are hit with it and it cannot be removed if you are under the hot sun in the desert! These two items are the best for you!”
He pulls out the two items out from his bag and throw it in front of me. It is the Desert Cloak and the Hot Weather Resistance Potion.
”These two are the best sellers! Desert Cloaks are items you can use to cover yourself while traversing the deserts! You will have less problems traversing the hot sands with this equipment as it lowers the effects of desert winds and the desert heat.”
I pick up the item and inspected it, in case something changed from it.
[Desert Cloak]
Type: Consumable Item
Info: This cloak is one of the essential items you needed if you wanted to cross the desert by foot. With this, you will gain [Desert Wind Resistance] which prevents lowering your accuracy and [Desert Heat Resistance] which will lower your chances to increase your stamina usage and water consumption. Only last for 12 in-game hours.
Note: Do not use this as a piece of cloth to wear over your naked body. You will be captured by the guards and label you a ”shameless exhibitionist”
Seeing the description is still the same, I nodded and take it with me, putting it in my inventory.
”Next one is the potion you might need, but not a compulsory one! If you have high heat resistance, then don't bother to drink this as you don't need it anymore. But hey, since you are still a beginner one in this place, I doubt you have high heat resistance trait with you or your equipment can last with that. With the [Hot Weather Resistance Potion], you will feel the less heat and will feel a little bit cooler temporarily once you drink this.”
I grab the potion and also checked its description.
[Hot Weather Resistance Potion]
Type: Consumable Item
Info: A potion made out of different kinds of cactus juices that can cool your body once taken. It allows you to be immune to Heat Stroke debuff for 12 hours.
Note: Mmm... Tastes like Cactus Juice... wait... what does a cactus juice tastes like?!
These two are indeed the real deal. The quest did not tell any lies and Tezach didn't scam me.
”Those two items is necessary if you wanted to venture outside the town or cities in Sandurk without any problem.”
”Thanks for the items!”
”Oy, wait for a moment, who said those things are free? Business is business mate, there is no way I will be giving out these things for free you know?! The total cost is 5 gold!”
F*ck, I knew it. Although this is a quest for tutorial, it is just an over pricing as always. In other stores, Desert cloak is 2 copper coins and Hot Weather Resistance Potions only costs 3 copper coins. If I wanted to continue the quests chain, I have to buy this overpriced goods! Screw this goblin!
