After finishing the book and returning home, Claire said solemnly to Old Lin, "Uncle Lin, I plan to go to town."

Lin En was sprawled out on the bed. After delivering the goods, she hadn't had anything to do for a while. Hearing her daughter say this, she looked at the blonde in front of her in confusion, "What are you doing there?"

He took the teacup, blew gently on the steam on the tea, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Oh~ Those new things you wanted to make again, haven't you given up yet?"

Claire blinked her crimson eyes and raised the corners of her mouth. "Failure is the mother of success! I won't give up just because of a few failures."

Ever since Claire came into this world, she has never given up the idea of making a fortune through the memories of her past life.

She remembered that in her previous life, soap and perfume were very popular commodities. If they could be produced in this world, she would definitely make a lot of money.

However, Claire didn't know the specific production process of these items and could only rely on vague memories and constant attempts to figure it out.

She had tried to make soap with various materials, but all failed. The same was true for perfume, she tried various flowers and spices, but could never achieve the effect she wanted.

Lynn looked at Claire's lovely smiling face and felt relieved.

In his heart, he had long regarded her as his own daughter, even though she had always denied it.

No matter what his lovely daughter does, a father should support her! This is definitely not being a daughter slave.

"Okay, go ahead." Lin En nodded. "Remember to be safe and don't overwork yourself."

......

Claire happily hummed a little tune from her previous life as she passed by the stream. She looked down and saw her reflection in the water, then nodded with satisfaction.

"I'm so cute! I'm a million times better than the nerdy otaku I was in my previous life! Sigh~ I just don't know if I can find a girlfriend."

Suddenly, she remembered the church's rule about same-surname marriages. She frowned slightly, but soon felt relieved. She said to herself:

"Huh? I guess the church has a rule that marriages with the same surname are forbidden... Never mind, I'll just kidnap a little girl and run off to the mountains. Wouldn't that be fun?"

Claire's mind couldn't help but conjure up a scene of her playing in the water with a cute little girl, and a smile that didn't match her age appeared on her face.

Just as Claire was about to continue her journey to the market with a heavy box in her hand, a slight noise suddenly came from the depths of the forest.

Looking curiously, I saw a woman carrying a travel bag slowly walking out of the bushes.

The woman had smooth purple hair, like the brightest star in the night sky, shining with a mysterious and charming light.

Her light blue skirt fluttered gently in the breeze, like a flower blooming in summer, elegant and noble.

Each of her steps was light, as if she had some special understanding with this forest.

Claire watched her strolling through the woods, as if an elf were dancing, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity welled up in her heart.

She felt that there was a familiar aura about this woman, as if they had known each other in a previous life.

Claire couldn't help but walk forward and greeted with a smile: "Sister, are you going to the town as well?"

The woman raised her head, revealing a delicate and gentle face.

Her eyes, like the deep water of a lake, stared at Claire, looking her up and down.

After a moment, a surprised expression appeared on her face, as if she had discovered something incredible.

She murmured to herself, "I can't be so lucky?"

"No, the chances are very small. But... there will always be such a day."

Claire felt April's gaze, she raised her head and looked at April.

She could read a complex emotion in April's eyes, including surprise, curiosity, and even a little bit of closeness.

He smiled and nodded: "No, I heard that there are many magical herbs and creatures in this forest, so I came here specifically to collect them."

This woman didn't look like a country girl, either in her demeanor or her attire, and certainly not a thief. Was she a noble?

Claire's heart couldn't help but ripple. She looked at the purple-haired girl and thought to herself, "What a beautiful person! It wouldn't be bad if she became one of her harem."

He couldn't help but let his imagination run wild and smiled slyly.

However, she quickly came to her senses and said, "No, no, I can't let others see my evil thoughts."

The purple-haired lady looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old. She stared at Claire's crimson pupils and smiled faintly, "There's something lovely hidden in your eyes~"

"what?"

Claire was stunned by the purple-haired lady's words, then she reacted and felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart.

She blinked her red eyes, trying to read more information from the lady's expression. However, the purple-haired lady just smiled at her, her bright eyes seemed to see through her heart.

Am I being teased?

"Are you praising me?" Claire pretended to be an ordinary 9-year-old child, stroking her little head with an innocent smile on her face.

The purple-haired lady looked at Claire's lovely appearance, a smile flashing in her eyes.

She nodded gently and said softly, "Yes, little friend, I am praising you. Your eyes are clear and bright, as if they contain endless wisdom and loveliness. They are really lovable."

"My name is April. I'm a traveler passing by. Did you see the travel bag in my hand? Then you'll know what I say is true."

——She did have a small, black, schoolbag-like "bag" in her hand, which she was holding with one hand. But it couldn't hold anything, right...?

"So you're Miss Traveler! I believe you. My name is Claire. I'm a country girl who loves blacksmithing."

Claire scratched her head and grinned foolishly.

April seemed to notice her awkwardness and said with amusement, "A country girl who loves blacksmithing? This is truly an unheard-of miracle..."

The wind blew gently, and Claire smelled April's fragrance. It was a fresh and slightly mysterious scent, as if it blended the fragrance of the forest with the tranquility of a moonlit night.

"Collecting herbs? Are you a pharmacist?"

Claire couldn't help but be intoxicated by it, as if she was in a dreamlike world, and the cyan seeds in her mind seemed to spin faster.

She tilted her head slightly and sniffed gently, trying to feel the source of the fragrance more deeply. The fragrance seemed to have some kind of magical power, making her feel happy and peaceful.

She suddenly realized that this fragrance was similar to the fragrance emitted by the green seed in her mind, both giving people a feeling of spiritual nourishment.

Claire subconsciously thought that this was definitely not the scent of medicine.

The road to town, which used to be frequented by pedestrians, is now deserted.

But the girl just nodded, "Yes~"

The purple eyes darted back and forth over Claire with a hint of a smile, as if trying to penetrate her body.

Claire couldn't help but feel a little scared, but she rolled her eyes and pretended to be an innocent little girl who knew nothing about the world. She said in a baby voice,

"Oh, then I won't disturb your journey. Sorry, beautiful traveler sister, I'm in a hurry..."

April stepped aside and looked at Claire's back with great interest. This look made Claire's heart beat fast. She kept repeating, "Caution first, safety first..."

After a long time, probably when she was far away from the traveler, Claire finally breathed a sigh of relief. She touched her cold little hands and found that they were covered in cold sweat.

Although it was only a brief encounter, Claire noticed a sense of incongruity.

There was almost no dust on her clothes, and they were surprisingly gorgeous. She said she was a pharmacist, but she was carrying a travel bag, and there was a faint fragrance.

What's that smell? There's a dangerous tinge to the fragrance.

Could that woman named April be the legendary magician?

Claire had thought countless times that if she ever met an extraordinary person, she would definitely bow down to him and then start the journey of fighting monsters and leveling up.

But she is not a fool. She is now powerless and facing a woman whose background she does not know. She is still looking at her with a "weird" look, as if she wants to eat her up. How can she not be cautious?

The woman didn't follow, and Claire breathed a sigh of relief.

The town is just to the east of the village. Passing through the forest and along the quiet dirt road, you will soon arrive at a city wall with a Western fantasy style.

This is a city wall that is almost three stories high. Although it is quite large, it does not look grand from a distance - Baron Yuri's house in the town is much larger than this.

The battlements surrounding the top make the whole building look very unique.

The grey facade was sharply contrasted by a rook's nest in the rear, whose inhabitant was croaking incessantly in a side room, and flew over the towering church and alighted in the street.

Many children on the street, dressed in rags and with sallow complexions due to malnutrition, saw the white-billed crow and a hint of longing appeared in their eyes.

Obviously they wanted to eat it, but their clumsy movements couldn't catch this clever white crow.
