A Single Mother's Farm of the Gods
Chapter 164: Dungeon Pot

Chapter 164: Dungeon Pot

After lunchtime and everyone returned to work, Elaina grabbed a few gold coins from the gold chest to start checking out the selections of the Wandering Merchant. As Elaina is getting ready, the God of Farming notifies Elaina.

"[Hey Elaina, remember the seed you got from your grandfather?]"

"Yeah? What about it?"

"[How about you ask the Wandering Merchant about it? Since he tackles and sells items both legal and illegal that are either rare or one-of-a-kind, he must have some idea on what that seed was, perhaps?]"

"Are you sure it would be alright for us to reveal that casually to others? Wouldn’t that cause trouble if this seed is leaked to others?"

"[Well, if that happens then it was indeed our problem for doing so. But shouldn’t the Wandering Merchant be able to keep deals a secret? After all, the little man does some shady things himself. And there is no other person we can ask for this matter.]"

"What about your fellow gods? Surely, they would have something to do with this seed’s conception, yes?"

"[I tried asking some of them, especially those who have a close relationship to their abilities and specialties as gods to some unique plants like the goddess of medicine but they all denied having made something like that. So even on my end, I have nothing to tell you about it. So I suspect that the seed you have right there is either made by someone or it is something that is created by other beings that are not gods so someone who has deep knowledge of something related to artifacts and old relics might have some idea of what those seeds to begin with.]"

Elaina thought for a moment. If what the God of Farming said is true, then their only option to know the seed’s usage is to ask someone who knows about relics and other stuff.

"Well, it doesn’t hurt to try and ask him about this then."

With the convincing of the God of Farming, Elaina grabbed the little seed and brought it with her as she made her way to the little carriage of the wandering merchant.

"Hihihi, welcome, dear customer. Looks like you got a good haul of money with you today eh? Ready to do some shopping spree?" the Wandering Merchant asked, seemingly smiling inside the dark interior of the carriage.

"We will see, depending on what selections you may have, then I might be buying more."

"Hihihi, well, in that case, have a look at this catalog I made to ensure that shopping is easy and comfortable for all of our guests and customers," out of nowhere, the wandering merchant pulled out the catalog that he was talking about inside the carriage which seems like he pulled it out from where his body from and handed it to Elaina.

Elaina thinks it is kind of weird the way he pulls it out of his body but she didn’t bother to question that. Whatever entity was inside the carriage, Elaina didn’t want to know.

With the ledger on her hand, she opened it and the contents were soon revealed. Just like how the Ledger works, the catalog works the same. The only thing that is not present on the catalog is the purchase button like how the ledger does it. Other than that, the catalog works exactly like the ledger.

There are plenty of expensive relics and artifacts for sale that is currently available for purchase. A few of them are labeled as ’sold’ but most of them are still available in different quantities.

Not only that but cursed items are also present to be purchased as well. Elaina has no idea how the cursed item works but she is not crazy enough to even try it out.

After checking sometime, Elaina came with a few relics that are valuable and usable for every day life and work in the farm.

-----

Necklace of Clear Mind

Type: Relic

Price: 2000 gold

Description: The wearer will be able to be immune to any kind of debuffs that affect the mind. Additionally, while not in active usage, the necklace will gather the nearby mana and slowly recover the mana of the user.

----

Totem of Dowsing

Type: Usable, One time only

Price: 100 gold

Description: a totem that is capable of changing the weather for tomorrow into a rainy day that will last for a day. Useful if it’s been a while since the last rain.

----

Ring of Protection

Type: Accessory

Price: 3000 gold

Description: the wearer of the accessory will be capable of nullifying any sort of damage that will fatally kill them twice. Any damage that does not inflict lethal damage will be nullified but will not be counted to the two chances if it isn’t lethal. If the two chances for nullifying lethal damage are both used up, the ring will break.

----

They are quite expensive but Elaina thinks that they are useful, especially the ring of Protection. Wearing it could grant them immunity and as long as it won’t be a lethal thing, they are safe from any harm.

Despite the excessive gold Elaina forked out, she thinks that everything was worth it as all of them are useful and not just something that she would just by because it looked pretty. All of them have function.

"Hihihi, thanks for the purchase as always, Dear Customer! Next time, we will bring more amazing things that might catch your eye."

"Wait, wait. Before you go, can I ask a question? If it has a fee, then I don’t mind as long as it isn’t expensive."

"Hihi, sure, sure. What is it?"

"I got this seed a few days ago. But we have no idea on what this seed is and what does it grow into. We wanted to ask someone who has expertise on it but even him have no idea what it is."

"Hrmmmm... Let me see that seed, shall we?"

Elaina hand over one piece of the seed to the merchant. He started to inspect the seed on his hand with great detail that he has to even use a magnifying glass. After sometime, he stopped looking at it and seriously looked at Elaina. This time, his signature laugh is nowhere to be found.

"I needed 1000 gold for the information. Although I would charge you a much higher fee for asking information, I decided that 1000 gold should be enough as you are a loyal customer who buys our goods whenever you get the chance."

Elaina grits her teeth after hearing the price. 1000 gold for information was big but if he has the information they need then this money shouldn’t be a problem at all and would be considered as cheap change.

"Fine, that is a deal. So what is it?"

"What you have here is a dungeon crop seed."

"Dungeon crop?" Elaina frowned.

"It’s natural for you to not hear about Dungeon crops as they are only seen to grow and thrive in dungeons. They are very rare so finding one in a dungeon is considered as a miracle to many especially if you are one of the adventurers exploring on a dungeon, " The wandering merchant explained.

"Is this a crop that exclusively grows in dungeons then? Of even adventurers are looking for this crop, it must be a very big deal."

"More than a big deal. Getting a dungeon crop is sometimes the only thing that separates you and your upcoming death in the dungeon. Eating one will help you recover from any sort of wounds that you recieved from the battle and even severed limbs that only happened recently can also be either reattached or regrown into a new one. If one doesn’t have any wounds and consumes it, they will receive random blessings that they will be able to use for a few days before it completely disappears."

"And this seed is one of them?" Elaina frowned while also feeling excited.

"Yes. This one is a dungeon seed. The only problem though is that you cannot plant it outside of the dungeon or on any soil like the massive soil you have in your fields. This plant will not grow at all."

Elaina frowned at hearing that. The seed sounds so amazing and yet it has restrictions to grow. And it can’t even be grown outside of a dungeon which is not going to be a good thing as the place is crawling with monsters.

"But I do have a solution to that. Here, take this Dungeon pot. A pot filled with dungeon soil that allows any kind of crops and plants to grow on it. Yes, including the Dungeon crop."

"Wait, wait. Are you expecting me to believe that this pot right here has the soil that comes from the dungeons? How can I believe that? Give me proof that this is indeed a soil from the dungeons and this isn’t just some random soil scooped out from somewhere and then got advertised as dungeon soil out of nowhere."

"I am giving that for free. And in exchange, if the Dungeon crop blooms and become a real crop, then give me one of the seeds as a payment for that pot, how about it?"
