Chapter 123: Transaction, the Strange Demon Devouring Box
It turns out that this woman named Marita is a fourth-level strongman. No wonder Jovan is so afraid of her.

Marita was full of aura. She looked at the group of guards and shouted, "Come back here."

The guards felt relieved, put away their weapons and returned to the carriage.

Jovan was kneeling on the ground at this moment, still begging for mercy.

Mrs. Marita didn't even look at him and walked straight towards Cao Xing and others.

Asam explained, "My Lord, it seems that the Royal Family of the Youlan Kingdom is behind the Moon Goddess Chamber of Commerce."

"This woman should be a member of the royal family of Youlan Kingdom, and she may also hold a high position in the Moon Goddess Chamber of Commerce."

Cao Xing nodded, and he understood the relationship between them.

In this sense, Marita is Jovan's boss, and a senior executive of the Luna Chamber of Commerce.

Marita took light steps, her long skirt dragging on the ice, and came to Cao Xing and bowed slightly.

"I am truly sorry, young lord."

"We do have some problems within the Luna Chamber of Commerce, and we have recently started to rectify them."

"I am Marita Villegas, and I offer my sincere apologies."

Cao Xing was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this woman with fourth-level strength could be so easy to talk to.

She actually apologized to a lord like him who only had the strength of the second level.

"Ms. Marita, I accept your apology. You are as beautiful on the inside as you are on the outside."

Cao Xing spoke a lot of nice words. After all, there was no need to make enemies with such powerful indigenous people.

Hearing Cao Xing's address, Marita was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "You...what did you call me?"

"Ms. Marita, is there any problem?"

Marita felt a little embarrassed after hearing this:

"What...what Miss...I'm already over 30 years old."

Cao Xing smiled and said, “Really?”

"But in my opinion, you are still as beautiful and young as a girl in her early twenties."

"Moreover, you have a temperament that those girls don't have, like a snow lotus on a high mountain, beautiful all on its own."

The noble lady in front of him felt a little embarrassed after being praised by Cao Xing.

But she was experienced enough, given her age, and she quickly regained her composure.

She opened her red lips and smiled sweetly, "Young lord, you are really good at talking~"

"I heard that you have a Moonlight Pearl, right?"

Cao Xing nodded, "Yes, but it's not one, but two."

Hearing this, Marita, who was sitting opposite, opened her mouth slightly, looking very surprised.

It seemed that no one had expected that Cao Xing even had two of these precious pearls.

But given Marita's status, although the Moonlight Orb is very rare, she has seen it before.

She chuckled again and said, "This young lord is not only sweet-talking but also very capable."

"How about selling the two orbs in your hand to our Moon God Chamber of Commerce?"

"Of course, I'll give you a reasonable price."

Cao Xing readily agreed, "No problem."

He had originally intended to sell his Moonlight Pearl, and if this woman could offer a satisfactory price, Cao Xing would be willing to sell it.

When Marita heard Cao Xing's straightforwardness, the admiration in her beautiful eyes became even stronger.

"However, the Moonlight Orbs are divided into lower, middle and upper grades according to their size and quality. Each quality of Moonlight Orb can provide different benefits to mages."

"As for the specific price, I need to see the actual product before deciding. What do you think?"

Cao Xing nodded, "That's natural."

After saying that, he took out both Moonlight Orbs.

Anyway, the three Moonlight Orbs in his backpack have the same properties.

Marita saw that Cao Xing was holding a faintly glowing pearl in each hand, the pearl was as big as a baby's fist, and her eyes were shining.

At this time, she also understood why Jovan wanted to force the sale.

The quality and size of the Moonlight Pearl in front of you are both top-notch.

She glared at Jovan, as if she wanted to slap him into the ice.

For her, money is not the most important thing, it’s just that Moonlight Orbs of this quality are hard to find.

However, from Cao Xing's perspective, her angry eyes seemed to have a different kind of charm.

Marita bowed slightly and said, "Young lord, to be honest, Princess Fran of our Youlan Kingdom will be promoted to a great wizard in the near future, and I am worried that I have no suitable gift for her."

"I will personally offer one million crowns for these two Moonlight Pearls. What do you think?"

Cao Xing's heart moved. This price was beyond his expectations.

He originally thought that three Moonlight Orbs could be sold for about the same price as one black diamond.

Now it seems that two moonlight beads are equivalent to one black diamond.

So Cao Xing nodded and said, "Okay, deal."

A faint smile also appeared on Marita's face, and then she winked at the guards behind her.

A few guards understood and came over carrying two large boxes.

Marita said softly, "Each box here contains 50 crowns. The young lord can take inventory."

Cao Xing shook his head and said, "No need, let's just trade directly."

He has a system and doesn't need to count it himself.

Marita walked slowly to Cao Xing and took the pearl from his hand.

Cao Xing took the two large boxes and put them directly into his backpack.

A system prompt appears.

[Transaction successful: Gain 100 million coins, you lose 2 Moonlight Orbs]

After getting 100 million, Cao Xing suddenly felt that his family assets had become richer.

"Not bad, not bad. This money can be used to buy a large amount of food, enough for the people to eat for a long time."

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction. He still had a Moonlight Pearl in his hand, but he was not going to sell it anymore.

As for other miscellaneous items, you can sell them.

Seeing that she was so easy to talk to, Cao Xing asked, "Beautiful Ms. Marita, in addition to the pearls, I also have a batch of miscellaneous items here. I wonder if your Chamber of Commerce is willing to purchase them?"

Marita pursed her lips slightly, and she seemed to be very pleased with Cao Xing's praise.

"Of course. We at the Moon God Chamber of Commerce do all kinds of business. Let me see what you have to sell, can you?"

Cao Xing nodded, and then took out the [viscous liquid], [gilded candlestick], and [amber pebble] as usual.

In addition, Cao Xing also put up the [Snowstorm Bear's Paw].

He remembered that according to the system notes, some nobles would collect this pair of bear paws as a collection.

When Marita saw these groceries, there was no impatience on her face. Instead, she began to study them carefully one by one.

Then quickly, she gave a price.

I don’t know if it was because of Cao Xing’s sweet talk, the purchase price offered by Marita was even higher than Hilton’s price.

Among them, the viscous liquid is purchased at a price of 60 kronor.

The price of the gilded candlestick is 2000 kronor.

The price of the amber pebble is 3000 kronor.

As for the snow bear's paw, it was sold at a high price of 8000 kronor.

"Young lord, are you satisfied with this price?"

Cao Xing laughed immediately, "Satisfied, very satisfied!"

"I was wrong, Miss Marita. You are not a snow lotus on the mountain, but a goddess on the snow mountain. You are so beautiful and kind."

This praise made Marita so happy that she began to smile with her hands covering her face.

Then, they completed another wave of transactions.

[Transaction successful: You lost viscous liquid*673, and you gained 40380 crowns]

[Transaction successful: You lost 34 gilded candlesticks, and you gained 68000 crowns]

[Transaction successful: You lost 17 amber pebbles, and gained 51000 crowns]

[Transaction successful: You lose 2 Snowstorm Bear Paws, and you gain 16000 crowns]

...

Adding all these things together, Cao Xing earned nearly 18 crowns, plus 100 million from the Moonlight Orb.

The money he had on him once again exceeded one million.

Lady Marita chuckled and said, "Young lord, you have earned quite a few crowns from this transaction. I don't know your name yet?"

Cao Xing replied: "Lord Cao Xing, say hello to Miss Marita."

Marita nodded, a thoughtful look in her eyes, as if she remembered the name.

"Lord Cao Xing, do you need to take a look at the goods of our Moon Goddess Chamber of Commerce?"

Cao Xing nodded and said, "That's exactly what I meant." He originally wanted to see what goods these wandering merchants had.

The next moment, a system prompt appeared.

[Lunar Goddess Chamber of Commerce: Marita, we will open the product list to you. Do you accept it? ]

Cao Xing nodded "yes" directly.

At the same time, a dazzling array of goods appeared in front of him.

[Secret Elixir of Life (Small)]: Price: 500 Crowns
[Special Pet Food (Green)]: Price: 1000 kronor
[Ancient brass ring (green)]: Price: 5000 kronor
[Special Pet Food (Blue)]: Price: 10000 Crowns
[Noble Dagger (Blue)]: Price: 40000 Crowns
[Primary Mechanical Factory Construction Drawings]: Price: 50000 Kronor
[Ancient Weapon: Frost Eruptor]: Price: 100000 Crowns
[Ale Tianchi python skin (purple)]: Price: 80000 kronor
[Ice Crystal Square Hammer (Purple)]: Price: 20 Crowns

[Intermediate Ancient Weapon: Moon Crown Ice Cannon]: Price: 50 Crowns

[Demon-Devouring Box (special item)]: Price: 60 crowns.

[Staff of Daylight (Gold)]: Price: 200 million crowns.

【War Axe...】

...

A wide variety of goods and hundreds of pieces of information flashed before Cao Xing's eyes.

He couldn't help swallowing when he saw it.

Damn! There are too many good things!

Even more outrageous than Hilton's listings.

Moreover, the special pet food and mechanical factory construction drawings are things he wants very much at the moment.

There were not just one piece of golden equipment, let alone some mid-level ancient weapons, which he had never even heard of.

If only I couldn't beat this woman.

Cao Xing wanted to go all out and rob the caravan directly!
After waiting for a moment, Madam Marita asked, "Lord Cao Xing, what do you think?"

Cao Xing nodded and said, "Ms. Marita, I have to say that the Moon Goddess Chamber of Commerce is very powerful. They can even sell such precious things."

Marita bowed slightly, "Thank you for the compliment, but this is only a small part of the goods from the Luna Chamber of Commerce."

"If Lord Cao Xing goes to the Youlan Kingdom someday, I can have someone take you to see our headquarters. That's where the most precious resources flow."

"Even epic weapons are for sale~"

At this point, Marita chuckled and said, "Of course, if you want me to personally take you to visit the Luna Chamber of Commerce headquarters, that's not impossible, provided that I'm free that day."

She glanced at Cao Xing with her eyes, her features full of charm.

Cao Xing smiled and agreed: "If I have the chance in the future, I will go to Youlan Kingdom. Then, I will trouble Miss Marita."

"But, can you let me see the life secret medicine and blue quality pet rations first?"

Because he couldn't see the attributes, Cao Xing wanted to use the system's functions first to see the effects of these two things.

After all, next they are going to challenge a very difficult area.

If the secret life medicine is effective, Cao Xing wants to buy some as a backup.

The blue quality pet food was what he was going to use for fishing.

The champion fighter said last time that in order to catch golden salmon, more advanced bait is needed, so Cao Xing took this matter to heart.

Marita nodded and asked a guard to bring two boxes.

When the box was opened, it was filled with thirty bottles of red potion, and another box contained 30 beautifully packaged small pills.

Look at the properties.

[Life Secret Potion (Small): After taking it, you can immediately restore 300 health points. The cooling time is 30 seconds.]

...

It can only restore 300 health points and has a 30-second cooldown.

You know, Cao Xing’s current ice therapy can restore 75 health points every second.

However, the recovery of Life Elixir and Ice Therapy does not conflict with each other, so they can be used in combination.

Then, Cao Xing looked at the properties of the other pet food.

[Special Pet Ration (Blue): This ration is made of a lot of animal viscera, eyeballs, and the saliva and mucus of the Hack Frog. It is loved by all kinds of pets. After feeding, it can increase 5 points of loyalty. The upper limit of feeding a single pet is 3 times. ]

(Note: This is the exclusive secret recipe of the Hack Frog family. Please do not disclose it easily~)

...

Looking at the notes above, Cao Xing's mouth twitched.

The materials used to make this thing are really damn heavy.

But never mind, you’re not going to eat it yourself.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing replied, "How about this, give me all 30 bottles of life secret medicine, 50 green-quality pet rations, 20 blue-quality pet rations, and I also want the construction drawings of the mechanical factory."

As Cao Xing stated his needs, Marita quickly calculated the price in her mind.

"Sure, the total is 30 kronor."

It’s really expensive…

Cao Xing secretly complained.

The most expensive item was the 20 blue-quality pet food items, which cost him 20 kronor!
However, if you can catch the legendary golden salmon, even if you only catch one, it will be worth it!
Cao Xing nodded and quickly completed the first wave of transactions.

[Transaction successful: You obtained Life Elixir (Small)*30, Special Pet Rations (Green)*50, Special Pet Rations (Blue)*20, Mechanical Factory Construction Blueprint*1, and you lost Coins*315000...]

Marita chuckled again, "Lord Cao Xing, do you need anything else?"

Cao Xing did not answer, but continued to browse the products.

His eyes were fixed on the [Staff of Daylight].

This is a golden staff, and of course, the price is ridiculously high.

Even if he sold his other Moonlight Pearl, he still couldn't afford it.

Cao Xing had no desire to buy other things.

At this time, he noticed a special thing, the [Demon Devouring Box]

Next, he was going to find Ji Xinyue to explore the [Tomb of Ascalon], and according to her, there was a demon in there that was devouring the undead.

And this thing actually has the words "Demon Devourer" on it. Can it devour demons?

Cao Xing decided to ask directly: "Beautiful Ms. Marita, what is this Demon Devouring Box? Could you explain it to me?"

Marita nodded, then slowly said: "This Demon Devouring Box is related to the legendary demon."

"It is said that demons are extremely powerful and unkillable creatures. Even if you destroy their bodies, they will soon come back again."

"Can't be killed?"

Cao Xing was immediately surprised. This was the first time he heard of this.

"Yes."

Marita continued: "Only by destroying their souls can they be killed completely."

"However, without the means of the Holy See, even the legendary sixth-level strongman cannot destroy his soul."

"But later, after research by those powerful men, they discovered that although demons are difficult to kill, their souls can be sealed and placed in certain containers."

Cao Xing was stunned. "You mean, this Demon Devouring Box..."

Marita nodded. "Yes, it is an ominous thing."

"A terrible demon is sealed inside."

Marita continued, "But don't worry. This Demon-Swallowing Box has been blessed by the forbidden magic of a fifth-level archmage. The demon inside can't get out."

Cao Xing's eyes showed a look of realization, "Then what is the function of this Demon Devouring Box?"

Hearing this question, Marita thought for a moment.

"The effect...is not that great."

"Its only use is that if you encounter another demon and destroy its body, you can drive the sealed demon inside to devour the other demon's soul and kill it completely."

"Of course, if the demon you encounter is too powerful, and exceeds the strength of the demon in the Demon Devouring Box, you will not be able to devour it."

After hearing this, Cao Xing nodded suddenly.

He will go to find Ji Xinyue to complete the task next.

If he hadn't heard it from Marita, he really wouldn't have known that demons are immortal creatures.

Then this [Demon-Devouring Box] is very important to him.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing decided to buy it.

"Ms. Marita, I want this box."

Hearing this, Marita glanced at Cao Xing.

Of course, her upbringing prevented her from asking any further questions. Instead, she nodded and asked the guard beside her to carefully bring a box over.

Before he got close, Cao Xing felt a surge of evil aura.

When the box was opened, Cao Xing seemed to see a cloud of black gas coming out and heard a series of whispers in his ears.

"Give me...fresh flesh..."

"I want to eat... the internal organs... the breasts... the **..."

……
