Chapter 1172 Clues
At seven o'clock in the evening, Li Laixi dragged the ferocious dragon blade backwards into the castle. Her arrogant expression was like a gangster who had just robbed a good young woman and had fun in the alley.
“Comfortable”
"I always like that place. Not only are there fights, but also people. Do you know people? They are not zombies, nor beasts, nor bugs. Oh, people. There are some older people cheering for you, sister. Moral girls have laws and can use any dirty tricks!”
"The girl holding the sign in the arena is so sexy! She's sweet, cute and sensible!"
"There's more"
[Your wife Lilith is exhausted, and the battle in the arena has left her physically and mentally exhausted]
[There is no doubt that her strength is quite strong among ordinary people, but fighting in the arena is a very cruel and cruel job. Life in the arena is as humble as dust and mud, and death is not commonplace. Your wife Lilith feels more and more To the fragility of life】
Here is the narration, and over there is Li Laixi's endless explanation: "Anyway, it's super cool, punching to the flesh. Do you know that I actually met a guy today who can fight me back and forth purely with fists and skills? , What a natural sparring partner, I can’t bear to kill him!”
In short, I don’t know who is more divided between our narrator, the thing in front of him, and Teacher Cang. Li Cang frowned: "Are you teasing the girl who raised the sign again??"
"The face and breasts are super tender. Uh. Haha hehehe. How can I do it? I can't, my noble countess. Hey, don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss, shush. I want face, I need face."
Not only does this bitch have a criminal record, she is also determined to remain stubborn!
Just as Li Cang grinded his teeth, Li Laixian said plausibly: "This proves that we two are perfect for each other. Do you know that we both have the same appreciation of beauty? Hey, what are you so anxious about after talking!"
Li Cang sighed quietly, and said earnestly to the maids Kaiya and Xier: "You two should stay away from her, you know?"
Two people: "???"
Li Leisi walked to the open bathing room while taking off her clothes, and jumped into the milk-colored bathtub where Xi'er had adjusted the water temperature and put spices and flower petals.
"Ah! I feel comfortable! Let's get down to business!"
"All the gladiators in the arena are ordinary people. It is said that those with bloodline abilities have been raised by the major nobles, and almost all the rest have entered the Abyss of the Dead. There is no information about the insects. It seems that the insects are in Yuk Trasil is really like a pet, there are bugs everywhere, and apart from bugs, there are no traces of walking corpses and alien beasts at all.”
"Oh, yes, the crystal coins in this place cannot be collected into the prayer interface. They can only exist in a concrete form. They cannot be sacrificed and prayed for. The place where the coins are produced can only be the Abyss of the Dead."
There is a pool of prepared water that the Countess and the Earl each wash twice a day. The various spices used in it are worth 12 gold eagle coins. There is also the black tea bag that cannot be filled from two pots to four pots per day. The price of the entire pack reached an astonishing 3 World Tree gold coins that were ten times the value of the Eagle Head gold coins.
It is conceivable that Li Cang's expression was rich and ferocious when he listened to Kaiya's report on daily expenses. I wonder why this character, the Earl, can be so poor. This timi is worth tens of millions outside. Never would I be able to spend so extravagantly!
Recalling that the narrator said that he could go to the slave shop and pay two quarters of rent in advance to purchase a "unicorn fairy" as a frame and mount, Li Cang suddenly had an ominous premonition. Isn’t the 3,000 crystal coins in compensation not enough? ?
Li Leisi suddenly asked: "What about you? You pervert won't just eat the little slave girl and leave nothing to do, right?"
"Get lost!" Li Cang cursed angrily, "Old Betain paid three thousand crystal coins for coming over. That Viscount Tutankhamun who acted as peacemaker should have some skills, but the old guy ran away too fast. I was thinking that three thousand crystal coins would not be enough to buy a bug, so I made a point of learning about the bad rules of Yggdrasil. I wanted to use that duke-level bug-repelling vehicle, which at least had to be equipped with three so-called unicorns. Fairy, no matter how little it is, it can’t be driven.”
"So that car is very powerful?"
"The description is very sparse and vague. It feels like it should be roughly equivalent to armed transformation of an empty island, and it is likely to have its own protective force field."
"Oh~" Li Laixi sighed a little, floating lazily on the water and breathing happily, her whole body rising and falling together like a glacier on the sea: "Where is the insect? Does the insect have anything to say?"
"No, there are no records about the Zerg in various books. I asked Xi'er and Kaiya. There are no Zerg legends among the people in Yectrasil. Here, the walking corpses and alien beasts in the Abyss of the Dead are the most dangerous. Something.”
"Valshina (Avila) has met the hostess (mistress), and dinner is ready. The host and mistress can move to the restaurant to dine later."
[The gifts from the Bethany family appear just right. Even if they put themselves in the position of slaves, it has to be said that they really announced their existence very well, and you are a little annoyed and embarrassed]
【Your wife Lilith is silent】
"Hey, it seems that the Earl is having a particularly good day today~" Li Laisi said in a strangely silent tone: "The Baron's daughter was given to you as a slave? Tsk tsk~"
Li Cang rolled his eyes and was about to explain, but then he saw Li Laixi's eyes shining and said: "Come here, let me check the quality!"
Li Cang: "."
Even though they were both women, Valshina and Avila were still frightened by the light in the countess's eyes.
Let’s just say, the internal flavor is quite good
Kaiya and Xi'er, who had already witnessed the Countess' power, calmly retreated behind Li Cang, looking around as if they were loyal to the Lord. However, the gesture of covering their lips and smiling coquettishly was just for fun.
[Your slave girl Xi'er hears the voice coming from outside the gate and informs you that a visitor is coming. You can only angrily refuse your wife's invitation to bathe together and send your slave girl Xi'er to have a look]
Xi'er came back quickly and said with a not so good look on her face: "The master is Jimmy Terry Joy of the slave trade." As her former masters, Xi'er and Kaiya obviously still harbored feelings for the owner of the slave trade. There is a certain amount of fear, and the tone of speech seems hesitant. After all, slaves are slaves, and no matter how top-notch slaves are, they are just the commodities of the master of the slave shop. No matter how considerate and flattering the slave shop is to its customers, it will be cruel and callous to its slaves.
"Ask him to go to the study and wait until I and the beautiful lady have dinner."
"Yes"
When the property under the name of a nobleman is in arrears with rent, it is obvious that the nobleman cannot be decent. This matter may be big or small. Of course, only the narrator cares about whether it is decent or not. As for Li Cang
When sleepiness comes, someone will give you a pillow, and the money for honorary Lord Bartley has not yet arrived, so it is necessary to rub holes in the body of a small customer like Jimmy Terry Joy. Don't be kind. It’s too small to do anything!
Just yesterday, Jimmy Terry Joy, the owner of the slave shop who kept saying that it was difficult to do business due to financial difficulties and was trying to default on Li Cang's rent, did not dare to wait until Selvi's body was completely cool before he hurried to visit him. He nodded and bowed his hands and offered The rent for the previous quarter that was owed and the last two quarters that were advanced in advance totaled 1,500 crystal coins, and came with an animal trainer and two coachmen. He was full of sincere apologies, and he was in a mess of humiliation and fear.
This kind of people are the ones who can adjust to the wind better than anyone else. They are the ones who listen to the wind and the rain comes. They are not willing to take even the slightest risk.
After waiting for a full two hours, Jimmy Teli, who was so hungry that he was dizzy, did not complain at all. Not to mention that he had paid the rent in advance, and even did not dare to say goodbye before Li Cang opened his mouth to see the guests off. He kept looking for words for himself. At one moment, he was chatting and asking whether Li Cang liked the two high-level female slaves. At another moment, he talked about how the animal trainers and coachmen he brought were carefully selected and carefully cultivated their professional skills and how excellent they were.
Li Cang was too lazy to deal with this non-mainline NPC and said directly: "I plan to purchase a few bugs pulling carts in the near future. I don't know much about this aspect. Do you have any recommendations?"
Jimmy suddenly felt sweat on his forehead, and secretly complained in his heart. So the Earl has indeed awakened his bloodline, and is ready to use the family's collection of insect repellent vehicles. He shouldn't have thought about delaying the location before. Rent, sure enough now comes retribution!
"Congratulations, Lord Earl. What a pity, Lord Earl, the noble founder bloodline has finally responded to your call. It's like this. I have a cousin who happens to be a housekeeper at the animal training ground. I will inform him immediately after I return. Within, you will get the greatest discount no matter which mount you choose!”
"Very good. As long as things are done well, I can generously forgive you for your previous offense to the Earl. Remember to pay the rent in time. You can leave now."
"Thank you, Lord Earl, your mind is big enough to accommodate the sea of Yectrasil. I will retire."
Jimmy Terry, who was covered in cold sweat, trembled and ran away in a panic. The hungry and highly nervous slave shop boss almost fell headlong on the World Tree sculpture at the door of the Earl. He was still panting rapidly until he got on the carriage.
It sounds like it's just a delay in paying the rent for a quarter, but that was before. Now, even if the earl executes him on the spot, no one will cry out for him and say that the crime will not lead to death - this is the so-called aristocrat. Eating people in a stylish and respectable manner.
Jimmy Terry is not even an honorary Lord. He has to bow and salute when he sees Bartley. The gap between nobles and nobles can even be greater than that of humans and dogs. Nobles and nobles who have awakened their bloodline completely represent two completely different things. different meanings.
Jimmy Terry didn't even dare to complain secretly, and said directly to the coachman: "Go to my cousin's house, no, go back to the slave bank's vault first, I want to get some crystal coins."
"My lord, your face looks very bad. Is there something wrong with the earl?"
The coachman was not only a coachman, but also a slave and guard who had grown up with Jimi Teli. He had saved Jimi Teli's life countless times in danger, and he was almost closer to him than a biological brother.
"It's okay." Jimmy Terry breathed a sigh of relief and kept wiping his sweat: "The Earl has forgiven my offense, and it's okay now, but he wants to buy some bugs for the car from his cousin, I promised Discount, I can’t let my cousin pay for my mistake”
"Hiss, that count has really awakened the bloodline of his ancestors?"
"Yes, he has definitely awakened. He is worthy of being the blood descendant of the founder. He was just sitting there. He didn't even show anger or deliberately target me, but his aura was much more terrifying than Lord Victor. , it’s just like. It feels like the first time I went to the Pit of the Dead to pick up goods, you know, that time I peed my pants.”
"Sir, maybe you should fire your 'strategist.'" Fergus Mellis said slowly: "His business ability is very good, but he is a real villain, and he can't afford to lose money early if he doesn't have any profit." You villain, you are used to making dangerous moves. For example, this time, delaying the payment of rent for several quarters will not bring you more benefits. Even if the earl has not awakened his bloodline, he will risk offending an earl in exchange for A small profit is not a wise move.”
"You are right. I was damaged by the light of the crystal coin and my brain was filled with greed. This problem will not happen again in the future. Absolutely not. However, that person knows me and knows too many secrets of the slave business. I am afraid he will take advantage of this opportunity. Blackmail me.”
"You don't have to worry about this kind of thing. You can feel free to go to your cousin to discuss the matter. I will make it impossible for the military advisor to speak."
"Fergus, my brother, you don't have to risk yourself to do this kind of thing, just pick a few slaves to do it. You are like my real relatives. I can't bear the grief of losing you one day."
"Yes, my lord."
Li Cang didn't know how much trouble his fluttering butterfly wings had caused, because he was facing Li Laisi's thunderous wrath, and was kicked out of the bedroom in a daze. It took him a long time to regain his senses - something about timi didn't seem right. , what happened, I was kicked out, kick me out, kick me out, Comrade Daleizi, what do you mean by keeping those four people?
Teacher Cang’s thoughts are as if the grass grows and the orioles fly.
The good news is that after yesterday's hot-faced and cold-butt encounter, the narrator never mentioned any matters related to hypnosis, but quietly greatly increased the increasingly superb skills of the gladiator countess and the sick Earl's. Interactivity, or in other words, it seems that this method is used to squeeze out the sick Earl's longevity quota that is not in line with the human design. After all, it is unreasonable for a sick ghost to be so active all day long.
Well, at least under normal circumstances, it is indeed much easier to correct one person's behavior than to correct everyone's cognition.
Li Cang, who had nothing to do, was finally able to bypass the narrator who had been paused for a few minutes and sprinted to the underground space of the castle at a speed of 100 meters. Although it was more like a water prison, the criss-crossing water network was used to control the ventilation and temperature of the entire castle. Humidity, the second underground floor is a treasure house that seals the family's glory and property.
[When you open the door to the treasury, you also open a piece of dust-covered glory. Sculptures of ancestors and various precious works of art occupy most of the space here. The entire wall has countless shelves that were once used to hold crystal coins stained with blood. Wooden boxes are scattered everywhere, There are a large number of wine bottles piled on the ground, some are broken, some are empty, and some of the wine inside has become rotten and moldy. There is no doubt that only your unsatisfactory dog father will look at the treasure house that he is gradually emptying and lament day and night. Drink too much】
[The bug-driven car is visiting the center of the treasure house. It has mottled textures stained by the blood of walking corpses and alien beasts. It is bloody and pungent, and as heavy as a mountain]
[You found a strange and extremely huge chelicerae of a servant insect on your car. It seems to be different from all the servant insects you have ever seen. You don’t understand why your ancestors placed such lowly items so solemnly. Go to the most conspicuous position in the entire treasure house, on the chariot that represents the family’s glory]
The so-called insect repellent vehicle is not the boxcar Li Cang guessed at all, but an extremely crude, all-metal structure "Y" shaped flat trailer, only three people long, with a gold-plated surface and precious stones, and even a welded There are no seams visible, and it looks like it's hard to even transport people, let alone sit in it.
