Chapter 379: The thoughts of the subjugated queen and the secret of the wizard. (6000)
Under the unwilling eyes of the four liars, they were carried by the soldiers and left the tavern.
Soon, the tavern became quiet.
“Next, it’s time to count the harvest in the backpack.”
Because these Aboriginal backpacks do not have a superposition function.
Therefore, Cao Xing needs to take out the contents first and sort them out.
He was also unceremonious and transferred all the contents into his backpack.
[Get: Krona*3.72 million...]
[Get: Dry food*1742]
[Get the book: The Art of Language]
[Get the book: The Actor's Self-cultivation]

[Get: The Swamp Witch's Frog Potion Formula (gold)]
[Obtained: Noble Clothing*4]
[Obtained: King Esphes’ Crown Clothes (Purple)]
[Obtain: Crown of King Esphes (gold)]
…
“Haha, there are more than three million crowns and three golden props!”
Cao Xing felt happy.
Among them, the most special thing is naturally the potion stick and the magic potion formula.
The next moment, a stick that was completely black and emitted a strange light appeared in Cao Xing's hand.
It contains a strong herbal smell and stench.
It looks like this stick has crushed the flesh and herbs of many poor souls.
Looked at the properties.
【Swamp Witch's Poison Stick (Gold)】
[Quality: Treasure]
[Equipment Level: Level 40]
[Equipment Type: Special]
[Attack Power: 0~1]
[With special effect ①: Magic potion increase (when refining potion, increase the success rate by 20%)]

(Note: If the potential of the enemy creature is normal, its attributes will be reduced by 20% instead)
>(Equipment introduction: It was once a tool used by swamp witches to brew dark magic potions. It is made of twisted black wood and magic crystals that shine with strange light...)
…
"Oh? This second special effect, the evil degeneration is a bit interesting!"
Cao Xing said happily: "Especially when used to deal with those commander-level creatures, the effect is outstanding, and their new skills can be directly disabled."
"Of course, the duration is a bit short."< br>
“But no matter what, this is a prop that can play a role at critical moments.”
Put the stick into your backpack.
Another recipe appeared in my hand.
[Swamp Witch's Frog Potion Recipe (Gold)]
[Quality: Treasure]
[Potion Effect: Throw the potion at the enemy. If it hits, it will turn into an invulnerable one. Frog, duration 10 seconds, cooling time 30 seconds]
(Note: The effect of this potion can only be effective on enemies up to level 80, and will be affected by abnormal resistance.)
[Materials required for refining: advanced alchemy workshop, advanced poison mastery, glass bottle, swamp toad, dark moss. 】
…
“The effect of turning into a frog is a bit disgusting...”
“But if it is used to deal with enemies, the more disgusting the better.”
“It’s just right. Bina is proficient in advanced poison techniques, and this magic potion formula can be refined by her."
Cao Xing thought happily.
Of course, to refine this magic potion, you also need two weird materials, swamp toad and dark moss.
These things can only be found in the market.
Beyond that.
These two kinds of props are not the only ones in the backpacks of these crooks.
The next moment, Cao Xing took out a gorgeous crown and a golden crown.
The main color of this crown robe is deep and luxurious purple, and the edges of the robe are embroidered with delicate and complex patterns using golden silk thread.
The collar is raised high and inlaid with bright gems. The shoulders are broad and straight, decorated with gorgeous golden shoulder armor.
This crown dress looks full of majesty and a mysterious temperament.
As for the other crown, it is made of pure gold. The texture of gold is delicate and thick, and every line has been carefully carved, smooth and elegant.
After glancing at the attributes, Cao Xing admired: "Although this crown suit has no attributes, it can add 30 points of charm."
"The other crown also adds 50 points of charm."
"It seems these are genuine!"
These things are very valuable, there will definitely be many nobles, and the royal family is willing to pay a high price to buy them .
The backpacks of these four scammers have made quite a fortune.
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.
Then he looked at the messy tables and chairs in the tavern and ordered: "Laqi, clean up this place. I'll leave first."
Laqi, who was only 15 years old, respectfully replied: "Don't worry, respect. Lord, I will clean up this place."
Cao Xing nodded slightly and walked out of the tavern in a happy mood.
"Not bad, not bad... I didn't expect that there would be scammers offering me money."
"Now, let's go see how the four griffins we captured during the day are doing."
Then, he went straight to the fourth ring area of the territory.
There are several huge iron cages there, and naturally the four Storm Griffins are imprisoned in them.
Besides, there are several imperial soldiers wearing armors guarding there.
“唳——唳——”
In the distance, the angry neighing of the wind griffin can be heard.
They hit the iron cage crazily, making a dull sound.
However, these griffon cages were carefully crafted by Harold, with a large amount of mithril and eternium added to them. Needless to say, they are hard enough to trap these powerful monsters.
Cao Xing walked over.
When the imperial soldiers guarding him saw him, they immediately bowed and saluted, "Dear Lord, I wish you good health."
Cao Xing nodded slightly, and then asked: " What’s going on with these griffins?”
One of the imperial soldiers reported: "They are still as hot-tempered as when they were first captured."
"They haven't eaten anything all day, and they are banging against the iron cage all the time, and their heads are bleeding. "
After hearing this, Cao Xing took a look and found that these griffins were indeed covered with various scars, and blood flowed out, dyeing their originally gorgeous feathers red.
Gryphons are proud creatures and it is very difficult to tame them.
Even the expert trainers in the kingdom need to spend a lot of energy and time to tame a griffin.
In Cao Xing's territory, there is no such talent as an animal trainer.
It seems that we can only think of other ways to make these griffins surrender.
At this moment, the door of the blacksmith shop next to it opened with a creak.
Two thin little guys dragged a large bundle of huge iron chains on the ground and walked out with difficulty.
Their little faces turned red and their foreheads were covered with fine beads of sweat.
These chains were very heavy and obviously beyond their strength, but the two little guys still dragged them hard.
At the same time, Harold appeared behind the two of them.
“Little guys, if you want to become a blacksmith, you not only need perseverance, but also a strong body!”
“Your bodies are too thin and weak, hold on!”
His voice was steady and strong. It sounded like he was reprimanding, but in fact he was encouraging them.
After Saler and Bodie heard this, they immediately used all their strength to pull the two bundles of iron chains harder.
Cao Xing asked in confusion: "Harold, what are you doing?"
The dwarf blacksmith suddenly smiled and said: "Lord, although these gryphon cages are strong enough , but it’s not very stable.”
“I don’t think these griffins will yield in a short time, so I made a few iron chains to fix the iron cage.”
Cao Xing nodded and looked at Saler and Bodie again.
The dwarf blacksmith seemed to know what he was thinking, and continued: "Lord, don't worry, I took two eggs from a bare-feathered chicken to strengthen their physique today."
"These two little guys are too thin. Recently, The main goal is to let them exercise."
The two little guys next to them gritted their teeth and replied: "Dear Lord, we will definitely persevere."
While speaking, , they had dragged the chain to the side of the griffon cage and began to prepare to fix it.
Cao Xing nodded slightly and didn’t ask any more questions.
After all, this is Harold's apprentice, and he has his own training methods.
Harold said at this time: "By the way, Lord Lord, you came at the right time."
"In addition to building the gryphon cage today, I also gave you the pair of gloves you need. It’s built.”
“The quality should be good, you can go and take a look.”
Cao Xing became interested immediately after hearing this.
It just so happens that Victoria doesn't have a weapon yet.
"It's done well, I'll go take a look."
So, he went straight into the blacksmith shop and then came to the storage box area.
As soon as I opened it, I immediately saw a pair of carefully crafted gloves. The surface was sewn from saber-toothed tiger leather, with a fine and clear texture.
The color of the gloves is deep and shiny, exuding an ancient and powerful atmosphere,
The joints are also inlaid with solid metal sheets, which not only increases the sturdiness of the gloves, but also adds a cold texture to them.
“This glove looks pretty good.”
Cao Xing put it away directly.
[Obtained: Mad Tiger's Roaring Gloves (gold)]
Looked at the attributes.
[Crazy Tiger's Roaring Gloves (Gold)]
[Quality: Treasure]
[Equipment Level: Level 40]

Cooling time: 45 seconds)]
(Equipment introduction : Made from the most precious piece of leather on the leader of the saber-toothed tiger. When the skill is released, the roar of the tiger can be faintly heard. Its forger is: Harold Iceberg, an expert blacksmith.)
…
“The attributes of this pair of gloves are quite strong.”
"The second special effect can give Victoria a good melee combat ability, and the third special effect can even come with a control effect."
"Not bad, not bad."
With a satisfied look, Cao Xing put it into his backpack.
Then he left the blacksmith shop.
“Next, go find Victoria and give her this glove.”
"By the way, let me ask about the secret of that wizard."
Cao Xing has not forgotten that there is a powerful wizard who is hunting down the queen. The reason is that Victoria knows the wizard's secret.
I happen to be free now, so I can go over and ask her.
Thinking about it, he had arrived at the door of the room where Victoria was.
Since becoming a core combatant, Victoria has also had corresponding treatment, a small private room.
Of course, it is only a first-level residential building, it does not occupy a large area and is very convenient to build.
Speaking of which, this is the first time he has come to this woman's residence.
On weekdays, Victoria doesn't speak much, her face is cold and majestic.
The powerful aura she exudes invisibly makes other residents in the territory less likely to get close to her.
In this territory, Victoria basically lives alone.
At this time, Cao Xing became inexplicably nervous.
“Ahem——”
After coughing twice, Cao Xing cheered himself up and said: “I’m here to discuss business, not a thief. Why am I nervous? ?"
After that, he stretched out his hand and knocked on the wooden door,
"Boom! Boom!"
There was a knock on the door.
After a while, the sound of 'tapping' footsteps came from inside.
The door slowly opened, and a face that was a bit doubtful and a bit majestic appeared in front of Cao Xing.
It was a delicate and cold face, with eyebrows as dark as distant daisies and eyes as cold as stars.
Under the high bridge of the nose, the lips are tightly pursed, revealing an inviolable majesty and a somewhat mature charm.
She raised her chin slightly and stared at the figure at the door.
After seeing the figure at the door, the expression on this cold beauty's face relaxed.
She bowed and said: "I have met you, sir."
Cao Xing nodded, and then asked: "I didn't bother you, did I?"
Victoria gently Shaked his head, then: "No."
"My lord came to me because..."
"About what you said last time, the secret of the wizard." Cao Xing didn't go into too much detail and went straight to the point.
Victoria frowned slightly and fell into thought.
After a moment, she seemed to have made a decision, "Please come in, sir."
After saying this, she turned around and entered the room.
Cao Xing followed her.
Victoria's manners are dignified and elegant. Even her walking steps are different from other women. It is a kind of nobility engraved in her bones.
From Cao Xing's perspective, you can see Victoria's back. Her brown hair falls like a waterfall on her slender back, and her mature and perfect body is wrapped in a close-fitting plain pajamas.
Viewed from the back, the slender waist is not too big to hold, but it forms a very impactful contrast with the plump and perky buttocks.
Under the flickering candlelight, her back was sometimes bright and sometimes hazy.
In fact, you can see the white and tender skin looming, and the outline of the small underwear seems to be invisible under the pajamas.
Because the size was too small, it could not wrap around her round and plump buttocks, or even create a seductive curve.
People's eyes are involuntarily attracted, and their heartbeat speeds up unknowingly.
Cao Xing thought to herself: "Isn't it uncomfortable for her to wear such small underwear?"
"It seems that I can tell Xia Yanni to make a larger size later."
< br>
"Well...just follow her size..."
The decoration in Victoria's room is extremely simple.
A large bed covered with thick quilts.
Next to it are two simple wooden tables and chairs.
A pot of hot water is boiling on the stove, making a "gurgling" sound, adding a touch of life to this quiet room.
She turned slightly sideways and said softly: "Sit down."
As if thinking of something, Victoria quickly changed her words: "Sir, please sit down."
There was a hint of respect in her tone, There was a bit of discomfort.
Cao Xing smiled and sat down without paying attention.
Victoria sat opposite him dignifiedly.
This woman's sitting posture is extremely standard.
He held his head high, his legs together just right, and his hands folded on his plump thighs.
Under the swaying of the fire, there was still a deep tranquility in her eyes.
The inherent elegance and nobility still exudes unique charm.
Then, she opened her red lips lightly and said: "This wizard is called Adrian. I don't know his strength very well, but he is at least level seven."
"Probably a hero-level powerhouse!"
"He once cast a forbidden witchcraft, which directly enveloped the entire royal city."
"Under the influence of that witchcraft , the strength of all of us has been greatly weakened."
Hearing this, a glimmer appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.
“Is he actually a powerful hero?”
By now, he also knows how powerful a hero-level warrior is.
That is enough power to destroy a city.
Of course, not all heroic level warriors are that powerful.
As Victoria said, if a witchcraft envelopes the whole city, it must be at least a commander-level existence.
“Yes.”
The queen straightened her back and continued: "And I accidentally saw the wizard's right hand."
"There is a special mark on the back of this person's right hand, which belongs to the Kingdom of Renoir. The slave mark. "
"This kind of mark is very special. Once it is marked, it is directly imprinted on the flesh and blood and cannot be removed at all."
"I investigated it later. The appearance of this person is very similar to that of a prisoner in the Black Reef Prison in our Kingdom of Renoir."
"However, more than twenty years ago, there was a riot in the Black Reef Prison. Many of the prisoners disappeared without a trace, and I suspect he escaped at that time."
Cao Xing was immediately confused after hearing this: "You mean, this wizard was once a slave of your Kingdom of Renoir."
"Later he escaped and took revenge on your kingdom?"< br>
Victoria nodded lightly, "Probably so."
A thoughtful light appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.
Asked again: "But, he wouldn't have been chasing you for so long just for this secret, would he?"
The exquisite and cold beauty in front of her spoke again: "You are right, he is chasing me for two reasons."
"First, he is now a wizard of the Kingdom of Ostia , has a distinguished status, and no one has ever known that he had ever been a slave."
"If this matter spreads, it will cause a serious blow to his reputation and reputation."
" Second, I later secretly investigated this person’s file and found that he was imprisoned after being discovered for studying black magic.”
“Black magic is an extremely evil and harmful thing. The entire Western Continent will not allow evil forces to appear.”
"Once someone is found to be using this power, a large number of powerful people will take action to encircle and suppress him!"
"I suspect that the reason why this wizard can possess heroic power in a short period of time is because Learned black magic."
Victoria spoke word by word.
A thoughtful look appeared in Cao Xing's eyes again.
"Then why don't you spread the news about this wizard learning black magic and let other strong men deal with him?"
A wry smile appeared on Victoria's bright lips, "Because, his research on black magic is just my inference, and there is no definite evidence."
"Adrian is already a high-level official in the Kingdom of Ostia. And he himself thinks he is a hero. "
"Who would take the risk of offending an entire kingdom and attack him without clear evidence?"
"Moreover, the king probably knew in his heart that Adrian borrowed the power of black magic, but for the sake of the country's status and reputation, he chose to protect the wizard."
Cao Xing nodded.
It's no wonder that the wizard wants to hunt down Victoria.
As long as she is killed, the entire Renoir Kingdom will be destroyed, and no one will know that he was a slave.
Moreover, no one can accuse him of learning black magic.
Although Victoria is a queen, she is only at the fifth level.
Facing a hero-level strongman, it is already very good to survive until now.
Cao Xing comforted him: "Don't be nervous. Anyway, this wizard hasn't discovered you yet."
"You have to believe that it won't be long before our territory will have the power of a fearless hero."
Hearing this, the tension on the face of the cold beauty in front of him gradually dissipated, and a gentle smile appeared instead.
"Well, I believe you."
"You are a lord worth relying on..."
The last sentence seemed to make her a little uncomfortable.
Cao Xing smiled.
At the same time, he couldn't help but turn his thoughts to the seriously injured Dragon Whisperer in the basement of his territory.
This is also a hero-level powerhouse. If she can wake up, then Cao Xing's territory will increase in strength.
Of course, she can only take action as a last resort.
After all, the Dragon Whisperer also has enemies.
As for who her enemy is, we can only ask after she wakes up.
Shaked his head and cleared away these thoughts.
Then he took out the pair of gloves from his backpack and placed them on the table in front of him.
Victoria took it with a puzzled expression, "This is..."
Cao Xing said: "Didn't you say last time that you needed a pair of gloves when fighting? These are prepared for you."
A trace of astonishment appeared on Victoria's face, and she froze in place.
Cao Xing saw her expression and thought she didn't like it, so he asked: "What's wrong? When I was the queen, I received too many gifts and I don't like this glove?"< br>
When he heard this, the beauty in front of him quickly shook his head.
“No...it’s not like that...”
"This is the most precious gift I have received in recent years. Ben...I like it very much."
"Thank you..."
[For your generous gift, Victoria ·Santa Cruz's loyalty has been improved, current loyalty: 95...]
...
A smile also appeared on Cao Xing's face, and the loyalty of the subjugated queen also increased rapidly. Full.
Victoria held the pair of gloves in her arms as if they were treasures, with a gentle smile on her face.
This was the first time Cao Xing saw her looking so happy.
The smile on the queen's face is so charming that people can't help but be intoxicated.
Facing Cao Xing’s direct gaze, Victoria seemed a little unnatural.
Her legs moved closer together.
"What's the matter, sir?" Victoria couldn't help but asked softly.
Cao Xing shook his head, "Nothing."
"I just think that there is a set of clothes that should suit you very well."
