"Sigh.."
Eldar Fëanor sighed as he gazed at the port city he found himself in, but, this is not just any port city.
It's a port city in another world!
Yes, Eldar is not from this world, originally he used to be a common and ordinary university student, but one day while he was contemplating the stars on the roof of his residential building, a strong current of wind threw him to his death...
While he thought that was the end, out of nowhere, two weeks ago he was transmigrated to another world, but that's not all, he also transmigrated like an elf.
¡Yes, an elf!
To say that he was surprised would be an understatement, but then he realized where he was, with the memories of his predecessor, he knew that he was in a cave inside a waterfall, the year seems to be 1947.
But then he realized that obviously, this world is not simple, not only the fact that he is an elf, he was also able to observe from his memories that in this world there is magic, magic like Harry Potter-style spells and even superpowers like telekinesis and multiple crazy magic.
At first, he was deeply scared, but when he realized that this may also be his chance, he started planning to comfortably survive in this world and get away with it.
After an "extensive" planning and review of his current things, he concluded that it will be difficult, very difficult, according to his memories, his father left him a large ship, which he found on a trip to another country, the problem, there is no crew, he can certainly try to control the ship with magic, but now he is too weak to do it alone, moreover, he will only be lost in the depths of the sea...
So, the current objective, is to find a capable browser to avoid being devoured in some godforsaken place.
And that leads me to think, to the stingy pope who was eaten by a shark three weeks ago, I only left him a stash of 10 gold coins, 100 silver coins, and 1000 copper coins, coins used in the country in which was currently.
Freedonia, a developed country, or at least for the current era, is a mid-sized country located where in the past life Portugal and Spain would be!
The country strongly supports trade and magic, so the small goal of being a merchant is not impossible either.
Something to keep in mind is... although it's not the best of the top, pirates are also the order of the day.
At first, I thought of becoming a fearsome pirate, but then I realized that it would be easier to be a substitute king than to be a pirate in today's fearsome waters.
You know, there are even horrible beings like the Kraken of legend and killer mermaids that seduce you with their melodious voices!
Of course, I would be delighted to be seduced by a beautiful mermaid, were it not for the story of the men who ended up serving as the morning aperitif...
Of course, on land, it's not exactly safe, in this world there are all kinds of creatures, from elves, vampires, werewolves, and witches, all kinds of creatures travel the world wreaking havoc, countries have some regulations but it's definitely not enough.
Checking the trade market, Eldar went to an old merchant, he used to be a close acquaintance of his father and therefore a close acquaintance of his.
"Oh Eldar, it's been a long time since I've seen you or your father, that restless ass old man, ah, sigh, in any case, how have you been?" asked the old merchant with a jovial smile.
"My father died." Eldar said directly.
"Hey..!" The old man opened his eyes when he heard the news.
"What happened?!" asked the old merchant.
"Three weeks ago he went out looking for treasures and sea creatures to earn money, according to the imperial guard, a shark eat him to the death." Eldar said sadly.
"Impossible, I traveled with him for 2 years in our youth, and I saw him go toe to toe with a Kraken and emerge victorious, although the Kraken was not killed, he was able to easily escape, no matter how old he is, he should still be able to deal with a shark even with my eyes closed." the old merchant said firmly.
Thinking about it, that's right, considering he's an elf, if he was decades ago, no, even centuries ago, he should still resist...
'Forget it, what I came for.'
"Mm, okay old Leo, I'm getting over it now." Eldar said shaking his head.
"Sigh… it's okay, I won't insist anymore, so, this time you came to…?" old Leo asked suspiciously.
"I need merchandise, I am going to become a merchant and export products to other countries." Leo said directly, there is nothing to hide, he can also create a business contact, he just doesn't expect old Leo to be such a good friend of his father.
"No!, Eldar, if your father died because of greed, you should not follow in his footsteps, besides, you need a ship to transport the merchandise." said old Leo trying to dissuade Eldar.
"You don't have to worry about that, besides, I already have a ship." Eldar said and showed a holographic image with illusion magic to old Leo.
"Never mind, you still need official permission from some country or you will end up in jail or killed by a pirate." said old Leo without giving up on dissuading Eldar.
"Don't worry, I already applied for a privateer's permit a few days ago, I should have it this afternoon or tomorrow." Said Eldar, although he had to sacrifice a relic belonging to his father, he was able to effectively bribe the corrupt official.
"Sigh… you won't give up, will you?" asked old Leo admitting defeat.
"Nope." Eldar said directly.
"Sigh, okay, in that case, I'll give you something." the old merchant and took out something resembling a compass.
"This is..." Eldar.
"It's a mystical compass, I got it a few days ago from some travelers, by the looks of it, I'd say they're wizards, but the important thing is... with this, you can navigate without any problems, aside from being a functional common compass, it can also help you warn of pirates, whenever a pirate comes within a kilometer of you, the compass will warn you." said old Leo and handed the compass to Eldar.
"Ah... thank you." said Eldar, he knows how valuable this thing is, he will not stupidly refuse.
"Okay, now that I know you want to kill yourself, what do you want to buy?" said the old merchant with a sly smile, when it comes to business, no acquaintance is worth...
"..."
"I want to buy scrolls, grains of rice, and…" After careful deliberation, Eldar said everything that could sell well in the places he will visit.
"Well, 25 sacks of rice, 20 sacks of corn, 30 beginner and intermediate level scrolls, 20 healing potions, and eight beginners to advanced level magic manuals, a total of 8 gold coins." said old Leo with coins in his eyes.
"Here it is." Eldar said after they put all the merchandise on a cart.
"Thank you, as a token of friendship, I'll give you this cart, you can keep the donkey." Leo said and stealthily took the gold coins.
Eldar just shook his head, he had obviously swindled him into buying a cart, merchants are scary...
He took the cart and whipped the donkey back to his cave.
As he walked, he saw a person with a cloak over her.
"This place is..."
