Chapter 208 The Suspicious Peasant Woman and the Queen of Nianqi (6000)
Orkan smiled and said: "My lord, you are really discerning."
Hearing this, Cao Xing's mouth twitched.
His rudimentary wine-making skills were exaggerated by him into superb wine-making skills. These businessmen really did anything to raise prices.
Cao Xing was speechless, "Just tell me how much it is."
After thinking for a moment, Orkan quoted a price.
"Twenty thousand crowns, my lord."
Hearing this number, Cao Xing rolled his eyes again.
He said directly: "Two thousand crowns."
Orkan was a little confused when he saw that he was bargaining so hard all of a sudden.
He had boasted about this slave so much that he seemed completely unmoved.
He said with a troubled look on his face: "Sir, your price is a bit difficult to deal with..."
"In our Giant Chamber of Commerce, the cheapest slave costs thousands of crowns."
"Although Delio doesn't have much fighting ability, he is quite hardworking and can also make wine. Would you like to add more?"
After hearing this, Cao Xing offered a price again.
"Two thousand and five crowns, no matter what the price is."
Hearing the price, Olkan looked hesitant again in his eyes.
After a moment, he slowly said: "Deal..."
And Cao Xing's face gradually showed joy.
After paying 2,500 crowns, Orkan blew on his goatee.
Then he looked at the guard next to him and winked.
The slave named Delio was escorted behind Cao Xing.
In his first transaction, Cao Xing picked up a talent, which made him feel quite good.
At the same time, Cao Xing looked at a level 13 woman named Sabina next to him.
She has the skill of intermediate medical proficiency, and her level 13 constitution gives her a weak combat power.
Cao Xing asked: "How much does this cost?"
Olkan looked at her carefully and then said: "Sabina was originally a famous doctor in the Principality of Pallas, with superb medical skills, but for some reason, one day she was murdered during treatment. A baron, then captured by the Knights."
"Sabina should have been hanged on the spot, but she was rescued by a knight she had healed. She escaped from the Principality of Pallas along the way. After being hunted, she fell into the hands of our Giant Chamber of Commerce."
Hearing this, the woman in the prison car had a cold expression, and her eyes looking at Orkan were also full of coldness.
Orkan was unmoved, and said with a faint smile on his face: "Sir, this price is a little more expensive, it costs 50,000 kronor."
After Cao Xing heard this, a look of thought appeared in his eyes.
Obviously, Orkan should have almost a clear understanding of the details and abilities of these slaves.
Even the origin of this Sabina is clear.
Of course, he must be exaggerating.
Sabina was only proficient in intermediate medical skills, but was praised by businessman Orkan as having superb medical skills.
However, what Orkan didn't know was that Sabina had a more superb skill besides medical skills.
That is [Advanced Poison Mastery]!
This skill allows Sabina to master various poisoning methods, and she can also develop various powerful poisons and apply them on weapons or arrows to greatly enhance her attack power.
I'm afraid Sabina relied on this method to poison the baron and evade the pursuit of the knights.
Cao Xing even wanted to buy this woman on the spot.
Not to mention 50,000, even 100,000 kronor is still worth it.
However, he was not impetuous, but continued to bargain: "I can only offer five thousand crowns, Mr. Olkan."
Orkan's goatee twitched again at the price.
He found that this lord was really calm.
He boasted so much, but the other party was completely unmoved.
This made Orkan wonder if the method used by the Giant Chamber of Commerce to hide their aura has failed?
However, he checked carefully and found that the auras on these slaves were well hidden, and he gradually felt relieved.
After some bargaining, Cao Xing finally bought Sabina for 12,000 yuan.
Both parties had satisfied smiles on their faces.
After that, Cao Xing was selective and bought a few people with good physiques who could be used as coolies.
There are also two slaves with skills such as intermediate cooking proficiency and primary fishing proficiency.
Seven people in total.
After some bargaining, Cao Xing spent a total of 20,000 crowns to buy them all.
Orkan narrowed his eyes, a genuine smile on his face.
Cao Xing has already purchased 9 slaves from him, and he is already a good customer.
"Sir, do you need anything else?"
Cao Xing did not speak, but looked at them again and checked them one by one.
I hope to find talents with advanced skills like Sabina again!
However, after reading it, Cao Xing felt a little disappointed.
The remaining slaves are ordinary people and have little effect.
And the price of those warriors is too high. The lowest price for a second-level warrior starts at 20,000 crowns.
For Cao Xing, these ordinary soldiers were of little use.
Just when he was about to end the transaction, Cao Xing's eyes suddenly fixed on one of the prison cars.
Squatting in the corner was a peasant woman wearing dirty cloth and with a round waist.
Seeing Cao Xing's gaze, the peasant woman opened her mouth and made a sound of "babbling".
She looked at Cao Xing, her pupils turned white, a silly smile appeared on her face, and fishy yellow saliva flowed from the corner of her mouth.
If a normal person saw her like this, they would subconsciously choose to stay away.
However, when Cao Xingzai looked at the other party carefully, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He pointed at the peasant woman and said, "Mr. Olkan, how much does this cost?"
Orkan was stunned, as if he didn't expect that Cao Xing would actually fall in love with this silly peasant woman.
At this time, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Orkan's mouth, showing an expression of "I understand."
He said slowly: "This is Mbo. He was originally an acrobat at the Vermont Circus. Later, the Vermont Circus encountered bandits and everyone was killed."
"There was only this Mbo. The bandits saw that she was really stupid, so they let her go. Later, she was picked up by our Giant Chamber of Commerce."
"If your lord wants it, I can give you a minimum price. How about one thousand and fifteen crowns?"
It was obvious that Orkan was eager to get rid of this peasant woman.
After all, for such a silly peasant woman, basically no one would be willing to buy her.
So Orkan came up and gave an extremely low price.
At this time, Cao Xing saw an anxious look in the peasant woman's eyes.
She didn't seem to want to be bought by Cao Xing.
However, Cao Xing smiled and said, "Okay, deal."
Smiles appeared on both of their faces at the same time.
Then Cao Xing paid one thousand and five crowns.
Surrounded by two strong guards, the peasant woman was forcibly captured.
After completing this transaction.
Orkan looked at Cao Xing and said, "Lord, are there any slaves you need to buy?"
Cao Xing shook his head and said: "No more for now."
He looked over it carefully and found that except for the peasant woman and the doctor, there was basically nothing missing.
After hearing this, Orkan said: "I wonder, do you have any people who need to be taken action?"
"For example, these warriors in your territory, I think they are very powerful and have at least second-level strength."
"If you are willing to take action, how about I give you a minimum price of twenty thousand crowns?"
It can be seen that this Orkan has taken a liking to Cao Xing's Ascalon warriors and wild boar warriors.
But his eyes would stay on Liu Muxue and Renice beside him from time to time.
However, Cao Xing shook his head and said: "Your Excellency Orkan, they are all my subjects and my loyal subordinates. I will not sell them."
Hearing this, Orkan said regretfully: "Then...okay."
He didn't continue to pester.
After all, as a businessman, he knew how powerful the territory in front of him was.
Compared to those wild boar warriors, Orkan actually wanted Cao Xing to sell beauties such as Renice and Liu Muxue to him.
When he saw Liu Muxue's appearance for the first time, Orkan was already shocked in his heart!
Coupled with her oriental face, as long as she appears at an auction, her worth will even surpass those of the elves!
But what Orkan didn't know was that there were many beauties in Cao Xing's territory who were as beautiful as Liu Muxue and had different styles.
For example, Isabel, the sisters of the tree spirit tribe, Ilena and Hilda, etc.
It's just that these beauties were resting in the territory and were not brought out by Cao Xing.
Orkan did not dare to ask for this request, for fear of angering the lord in front of him.
In fact, his decision was right.
If he dared to bring it up, Cao Xing would probably make him suffer a little.
Orkan suppressed all the thoughts in his heart and continued: "Lord, we still need to take advantage of the darkness to find the next place to stay."
"To be honest, we have been to the spheres of influence of many chosen lords before, but your territory is the largest I have ever seen."
"If I have a chance next time, I will come to visit you again. Then I will definitely leave you some good stuff!"
It was obvious that he still wanted to have a good relationship with Cao Xing.
After hearing this, Cao Xing also smiled and said: "Okay, thank you Sir Olkan."
Separate sides.
Orkan left with the Giant Chamber of Commerce’s convoy and gradually disappeared from Cao Xing’s sight.
At this time, Renes next to her looked a little unnatural and said: "Lord, the look in this businessman's eyes makes me very uncomfortable. It makes me want to shoot his eyes through with arrows." Cao Xing smiled, " Don’t think too much, Renes, it’s normal to attract the attention of these guys with your and Muxue’s beauty.”
"Rather, this just shows that you have stunning looks that are coveted."
Hearing Cao Xing compliment their appearance, Renice and Liu Muxue blushed at the same time.
The discomfort in my heart disappeared and I became very happy.
After all, what woman doesn’t want to be complimented by the person she likes.
At this moment, Renes was less heroic and more shy than a little woman.
"I...I'm not as beautiful as you said..."
"And, I only let the lord see it..."
Liu Muxue next to her also replied: "Axing, me too..."
Cao Xing smiled and nodded.
Although there are more female combatants in his territory.
But these women are very sensible and easy to coax, especially when their loyalty is 100. Basically, they will agree 100% with whatever Cao Xing says.
At this time, a petite figure wrapped in cotton clothes emerged from the side.
It was Elisa.
Said: "Lord! What about me!"
"Is Elisa beautiful?"
Cao Xing was stunned. He didn't even notice Elisa when he mentioned it.
She is relatively short and hides behind the tall Assam.
At this moment, the little girl opened her jewel-like eyes and looked at Cao Xing expectantly.
Cao Xing looked at her fair face, with a round jaw and delicate facial features, with a strong sweet girl style.
I have to say that Elisa is also a rare little beauty.
After a while, Cao Xing said: "You are also very beautiful."
After receiving praise from Cao Xing, Elisa giggled like "hehehe".
After coaxing these women, Cao Xing turned around and looked behind him.
now.
In the snow in front of him, ten ragged figures stood respectfully.
These are the slaves he purchased at a cost of more than 30,000 crowns.
Cao Xing also looked at the group of slaves in front of him with a slight smile on his lips.
Then, he said directly: "No matter what you have experienced in the past, now you have come to my territory."
"Then from now on, everything about you will belong to me, and you will also obey my orders in the future. Do you understand?"
The slaves looked at each other and then nodded.
Most people here, after learning that they became slaves, already understood that they no longer had the right to choose in life.
The only wish in my heart is that the new master in front of me can treat them better.
Cao Xing didn't say anything more. People like these had already experienced all kinds of deception and lies during their slave life.
Mere words cannot impress them, only actions can make them feel a sense of belonging.
Then, Cao Xing directly issued a recruitment message to them.
Those ordinary slaves all clicked Accept.
Only the peasant woman Mpo and the doctor Sabina were still a little reluctant, with a look of struggle in their eyes.
In fact, the two women glanced around secretly, as if they wanted to escape.
However, when they saw the powerful guards around Cao Xing, as well as the Ascalon Legion and Wild Boar Warrior Legion behind him.
Finally, I clicked Accept.
[Recruitment successful: Sabina/Mikayla/Freddie... joined your territory, territory population +15]
There are obviously only 10 people, but they occupy 15 of Cao Xing's population.
Cao Xing didn't say much, but said directly: "Assam, take them to familiarize themselves with the environment."
The loyalty of these newcomers is very low, only in their early fifties.
Especially the peasant woman, who only has 42 loyalty points.
This is equivalent to running away at any time.
Therefore, it would be useless even if Cao Xing gave her a blessing.
You need to lock her in the territory first and cultivate her loyalty for a period of time before she can further develop a sense of belonging to the territory.
Assam walked over respectfully, and then led the newcomers into the territory.
Looking at their backs, Cao Xing finally couldn't restrain the joy in his heart, and the corners of his mouth curved.
This time, he picked up two big leaks!
Sabina, who has [Advanced Poison Mastery], is not the most important!
The most important thing is the identity of the peasant woman.
Her background seems a bit surprising.
Cao Xing stared at her sturdy back and looked at the opponent's attributes.

(Character introduction: Victoria has had an amazing talent for reading energy since she was a child. After being spotted by a master-level strongman in the kingdom, she became a disciple.
Victoria devoted herself to training with this powerful master, and soon broke through to the fourth level. Later, she was favored by King Renoir and was named queen.
During her time as Queen of Renoir, Victoria not only showed amazing combat prowess, but also showed strong political talent.
With her assistance in governing, the Kingdom of Renoir prospered, and Victoria also had a large number of supporters, and her voice reached an unprecedented level in the kingdom.
More than ten years later, King Renoir was aging and announced that Victoria would be the new ruler of the kingdom, causing a sensation throughout the country.
When Victoria was about to be crowned the first queen of the Kingdom of Renoir, the hostile country, the Kingdom of Ostia, launched a full-scale war.
During the war, the Kingdom of Renoir was defeated, the king died in battle, and Victoria, who had not yet become the new queen, was hunted down.
In order to avoid being pursued by hostile countries, Victoria voluntarily accepted the domination seal and completely concealed all her aura. After a series of twists and turns, she successfully escaped from the Kingdom of Renoir.
After that, she fled all the way, hiding her name, waiting for the opportunity to take revenge on the Kingdom of Ostia. Finally, by chance, she fell into the hands of the Giant Chamber of Commerce. )
…
After reading the hidden attributes and character introduction of this peasant woman.
There was a strong look of shock in Cao Xing's eyes!
"I'll go...it's exactly what I thought. This peasant woman has some amazing background!"
Through the other party's character introduction, Cao Xing also roughly understood her experience.
It turns out that this woman was once the queen of the Renoir Kingdom.
But because the kingdom was defeated and the king died in the battle, she chose to accept the domination seal in order to survive, and then fled all the way.
Victoria's enemies also learned about the queen's escape and began to hunt her in the Western Continent.
Therefore, Victoria can only hide her identity all the time and use the identity of Mbo to walk around the continent.
But what she didn't expect was that the lord of another world would see through her disguise and buy it at a very low price.
However, for Cao Xing, Victoria's identity is not the most important.
The most important thing is that she is actually a commander-level powerhouse!
This is the first time he has clearly seen the attribute panel of a commander-level creature!
It’s terrifyingly powerful!
Each skill has various powerful effects.
In particular, her [Nian Qi Surrounding] and [Nian Qi Shield] can bring great help to Cao Xing and his territory.
Moreover, she also has a commander-level skill, [Ranwu·Thousand-Year Flower]. The description of this skill is a bit vague, and the specific effect can only be known through actual combat.
However, since it is a commander-level skill, it must have its own uniqueness.
The peasant woman ‘Mbo’ seemed to notice Cao Xing’s gaze and turned her head to glance at him quietly.
And Cao Xing saw a trace of scrutiny and consideration in her eyes.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Cao Xing's mouth.
It was obvious that Victoria, as the queen, absolutely wanted to continue her escape.
However, when he came to his own territory, how could Cao Xing easily let go of this being with commander-level strength?
So, Cao Xing came to Sarah and whispered, "Sarah, keep an eye on the peasant woman from behind. If she shows signs of running away, stop her immediately."
"Be careful, this woman may be very strong."
Although the fourth-level commander was powerful, with Sarah's ability, Cao Xing was still sure to keep her.
Even if you can't beat it, you can still hold it off for a while.
Hearing this, Sarah waved the Shadow Blade in her hand, and then nodded slightly.
She didn't look at Victoria.
Because she knew that strong men of this level were extremely sensitive to sight and could instantly realize that someone was staring at her.
Sarah disappeared silently.
…
After everyone left, Cao Xing also led people back to the territory.
Liu Muxue asked softly at this time: "Axing, are we going out in the afternoon?"

(PS: Some book friends scolded me and said: The first paragraph of each chapter is the last paragraph of the previous chapter, saying that I am writing about hydrology. The author will explain here. This is to ensure the coherence between each chapter. It can quickly remind book friends who read every day what happened in the previous chapter, and I write dozens to a hundred more words in almost every chapter. These are free of charge T-T...)
