Merchant From Earth in the Magical World

"May I have my maid bring in my bag?" Yan Xing asked the butler standing at the door.

His attendants had been settled to rest in a nearby courtyard gallery. The maid Donna was responsible for guarding the Ferghana horse and Yan Xing's personal belongings.

Soon after, Donna walked in, carrying a canvas backpack.

Even a simple dining room appeared opulent and magnificent to Donna, who was entering for the first time.

She walked up to Yan Xing somewhat restrainedly and handed over the backpack with both hands.

"Master, your bag."

Yan Xing grabbed the backpack and placed it on the dining table.

Then he opened the backpack and took out... a pair of goggles.

"I wonder if Miss Hibel, when soaring through the skies on a royal griffon, suffers from the distress of strong winds blowing into her eyes?" As a former salesman, Yan Xing immediately went into pitch mode the moment he picked up the goggles. "When you fly low on the royal griffon, or during takeoff and landing, do you often get sand and dust in your eyes?

"When you fly towards the sun on the royal griffon under the scorching sun, do you find the intense sunlight too dazzling?

"When you fly at night, do you feel that your vision is too narrow?

"When you look down upon the earth from above for prolonged periods, especially when it's of a single color, do you experience symptoms like dry eyes, eye irritation, or eye fatigue?"

Hibel was stunned. Weren't we supposed to start appreciating Ice Jade Porcelain dinnerware? What are you holding now? A piece of "glass" with a bit of color, with straps connected to either side. Could there actually be works of art from the Thunderous Swamp? With Werewolves and Lizardmen, of all things!

But since she was the one who brought up appreciating art from the swamp, Hibel still followed the topic. She said, "Yes! Gryphon Knights face many challenges when riding a griffon in flight.

"Wind is our ally but also our enemy.

"In sandy weather, the double eyelids of a griffon can protect their eyes. However, the eyes of Gryphon Knights are very susceptible to injury in harsh weather.

"And then there's the light.

"When our enemies attack from the sunny side, it often causes us great harm since we can't open our eyes.

"Although these can be remedied with Magic, using Magic Power for prolonged vigilance is a meaningless depletion.

"And it may leave us without Magic Power when we need it.

"Many Gryphon Knights have had to leave the skies because of eye injuries..."

As she spoke, Hibel couldn't help but reveal a look of melancholy.

The seemingly glorious Gryphon Knights often pay the price of various health issues. Not to mention accidents, eye trauma alone has caused many retired Gryphon Knights to go blind in their later years.

Listening to Hibel's words and looking at her expression, Yan Xing knew his first deal after arriving in Nuta City was set.

"So...all Gryphon Knights need my anti-glare, sand-proof, windproof, fog-proof, dust-proof, wind-blocking, splash-resistant, breathable, polarized flight protective goggles."

After hearing this lengthy name, Hibel asked, "What exactly is this thing?"

Yan Xing promptly put on his wind protection goggles and then introduced them. "These were specially developed by our swamp: professional anti-glare, sand-proof, windproof, fog-resistant, dust-proof, wind-blocking, splash-proof, breathable, polarized flight protection goggles.

"The lens material is a rare alchemical material from the swamp called polycarbonate, which has excellent light transmission. Then, using Alchemy Technology, we apply over ten different coatings—like anti-glare, sand-proof, windproof, anti-fog, dust-proof, wind-blocking, splash-proof, breathable, and polarized. After eighty-one days of polishing and grinding, only ten lenses are produced.

"But, in the spirit of pursuing perfection, these ten lenses undergo the strictest selection. Only the very best one is kept.

"All the rest are shattered!"

Hibel couldn't help but reveal a look of amazement when she saw Yan Xing wearing the wind protection goggles.

Although she still didn't catch the name of this item, she could clearly see its effect after it was put on.

The lenses had a very light yellow tint. Through them, she could clearly see Yan Xing's eyes. If she got closer, she could even count his eyelashes. This chapter first appeared on M|V|L^EMPYR.

This wasn't Magic! Or to put it another way, it wasn't an alchemical item that needed Magic Power to maintain, because Hibel couldn't feel any Magic Power coming from it at all. But... how could there be such a pure crystal in this world? And how were they able to polish this crystal to be so smooth?

Keep in mind, every race had tried all sorts of methods to create something like these goggles to protect the eyes of their aerial troops.

But even if they managed to make them, the requirements for materials and craftsmanship were so high that there was no way to equip an army on a large scale.

Moreover, those goggles often had uneven lenses and other unknown issues. Wearing them for too long could cause dizziness. That's why Hibel hardly ever wore her own pair, even though she had one.

After all, when needed, Magic could also achieve the effect of protecting the eyes.

Now, seeing the goggles Yan Xing was wearing, she felt that they were so much better than her own.

They were also big and stylish.

Hibel, who kept looking closer, almost leaned onto Yan Xing's face; the closer she got, the more shocked she felt.

Realizing she was being impolite, Hibel sat back in her seat and asked Yan Xing, "May I try wearing them?"

"Of course, you may," Yan Xing replied, taking off the wind protection goggles and handing them to Hibel.

Hibel tried to put on the goggles as Yan Xing had, but they kept sliding down. They were fastened with straps, and her head was smaller than Yan Xing's.

After several unsuccessful attempts to put them on, Hibel asked Yan Xing, "Could you help me put them on?"

Yan Xing stood up and walked behind Hibel. He took the goggles and adjusted the strap length to fit her head.

An attendant thought to intervene, but the butler, carrying a steak, gestured to stop him.

Yan Xing's hands passed through Hibel's hair as he adjusted the goggles, his nose filled with the floral scent emanating from her.

Of course, he didn't forget to continue pitching, "Our goggles' lenses use a panoramic-style cut, ensuring wearers have a very wide field of view.

"The edge of the lenses is an alchemical material called rubber. It automatically creates a tight seal around the bridge of the nose and eye sockets, leaving no gaps for wind to penetrate.

"Even the head strap is woven from a special plant unique to the swamp. It has good elasticity. Once adjusted to the proper length, the wearer won't feel it's too tight or too loose.

"Now... you are wearing the unique flight protection goggles from the Thunderous Swamp. I guarantee that with them on, you can open your eyes normally in the sky.

"Oh, right!

"Our Alchemy Technology allows these flight goggles to automatically adjust their light transmission rate based on the light intensity. This enables the eyes to quickly adapt when suddenly exposed to bright or dim light.

"This will allow you to react more quickly on the battlefield."
