Travelling Sage

**The Travelling Sage** is a recurring NPC in Plants vs Zombies: Sunken Pyramid. He serves as the team's guide to the Sunken Pyramid as well as the shopkeeper of the game. He first appeared in the Great Seas and acted as a temporary shopkeeper and became a permanent shopkeeper at the Jungle Entrance.

## Lore

He is just a regular merchant and sage travelling along the Great Seas to trade. He has went to Suburbia, Coco Village, and Bloodpetal Tribe and done pretty much great trading with them. He seem to came from a far away land, just drifting on his raft in search for good costumers. He is also a masterful sage, being able to read fortunes and predict the future. Though sometimes he can forsee danger that is far beyond his reach and most often faint afterwards. His journey to the Sunken Pyramid is pretty much a business for him.
