Chapter 140: Elena's Invitation

"Let's go, let's go to Hog Village and take shelter!"

After that, everyone started running wildly in the hail.

Fortunately, this freezing rain came and went quickly.

It only rained for a dozen minutes before stopping.

Cao Xing and the others also breathed a sigh of relief and gradually slowed down their pace.

A few minutes later, they arrived at the location of Hog Village.

Cao Xing saw that a group of villagers had climbed onto the roof and started repairing their roof which was riddled with holes.

This is extreme weather.

Just a dozen minutes of freezing rain is like a natural disaster.

If it had rained half an hour longer, I'm afraid all the houses in Hog ​​Village would have been destroyed.

However, the villagers seem to have become accustomed to this phenomenon.

The group of militiamen also stood aside and watched.

When he saw Cao Xing's team, he was not as scared as before.

One by one, they came up and looked curiously at Cao Xing's mammoth and the powerful men around him.

The militia captain asked in a low voice: "Sir...you are here again?"

Cao Xing nodded, then smiled and said, "Yes, I'm here to buy some supplies."

By the way, see if we can recruit some talents over there.

Of course, Cao Xing didn’t say the latter sentence.

Cao Xing continued: "Don't be nervous, I know the rules."

Then, he prepared to take Dabai, Hilda and others to the shed next door.

The militiamen looked at each other and smiles appeared on their faces.

"This gentleman is really easy to talk to."

"In fact, we can let you pass directly, but your mount is too big, and the streets of our Hogg Village are too narrow. If you are not careful, it will collapse. I hope your Excellency will forgive me..."

Cao Xing smiled and nodded, "I understand, I understand."

After saying that, he left Big White and Frostwolf behind.

Then he took the others, including Hilda, and entered the Hogg Village in a mighty manner.

Along the way, the villagers all looked at Cao Xing and the powerful men around him.

Especially the Blood Spider Queen Hilda, who attracted Xu's attention.

However, there was no fear in their eyes when they looked at Cao Xing.

But with a bit of respect and admiration.

The news that this powerful lord killed hundreds of cultists in one fell swoop yesterday had already spread throughout the village.

Coupled with what Cao Xing said when he left, the villagers regarded him as the embodiment of justice and a hero who protected Hog Village.

Under the gaze of the villagers.

Cao Xing and others went straight to the Zhuolan Tavern in the village.

This is also the only pub in the village.

He asked the others to wait outside first, and he took Liu Muxue and Assam and went straight into the tavern.

The pub was warm and bustling with people.

Checked the temperature.

[Current temperature: 16℃]

As soon as the three of them entered, the noisy tavern instantly became quiet.

They all noticed Cao Xing and Assam, as well as the beautiful Liu Muxue next to them.

A few of the drunkards seemed to have drunk too much and kept their eyes on Liu Muxue with naked looks in their eyes.

Just as they were about to stand up, their companions next to them pushed them down as if they had seen a ghost.

Not only that, other villagers who were drinking also rushed over and pinned these guys to the ground!
Are you kidding! The scene of these people killing people in Hog ​​Village yesterday is still vivid in my mind.

Don’t you have any idea who you should offend and who you shouldn’t offend?
The companions of this group smiled at Cao Xing apologetically, but at the same time they became a little nervous.

Fortunately, this powerful lord didn't seem to care.

Facing their apologetic smiles, Cao Xing nodded.

This also made everyone in the pub breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.

Cao Xing glanced at the group of people and saw that they were all ordinary wandering mercenaries and drunkards.

I didn't find any special talents, which made me feel a little disappointed.

Then he went straight to the bar.

A neatly dressed bartender wearing a jacket looked at Cao Xing with a gentle smile.

"My lords, would you like something to drink?"

Without waiting for Cao Xing to speak, the bartender took the initiative to introduce: "We have fine rum, fruit wine produced by Ruth Winery, and Beauclair white wine..."

"I suggest that this gentleman try our white wine, and the person next to him, have a glass of rum."

"As for this fairy-like beautiful lady, you can try our fruit wine."

Cao Xing also laughed, "Then let's do as you say."

After saying that, he took out a hundred crowns from his backpack.

But the bartender shook his head and smiled, "Sir, you don't need to pay for the kronor. This is my personal treat."

"I admire you so much for your heroic deeds yesterday."

Cao Xing was stunned. This was the manifestation of the benefits of establishing good relations with other forces.

He did not refuse, but nodded and said, "Thank you very much."

The bartender smiled and turned back to making drinks.

As for Cao Xing, he glanced at his attributes silently.

[Hog Village Villager: Erkan Babu]

[Level: Level 7]

[HP: 680/680]

[Attack power: 31~38]

[Skills: Observing people's expressions, elementary knowledge of alcohol mixing, elementary knowledge of brewing]

[Talent: Sensitive sense of smell (Elkan was born with a more sensitive sense of smell than ordinary people)]

...

"Nice talent. I am also proficient in alcohol blending and brewing."

This is one of the targets Cao Xing is looking for.

However, he was the only bartender in Zhuolan Tavern, and it would not be a good idea for Cao Xing to poach him.

After a moment, the bartender placed the three glasses of wine he had prepared in front of the three people.

"Sir, your wine is ready."

Cao Xing nodded, and then said: "Hello, Mr. Elkan, I have something I want to consult you about."

He got straight to the point.

The bartender looked at Cao Xing with a smile, seeming a little surprised that he knew his name.

"Sir, please speak."

Cao Xing said: "You should know that I am a lord nearby. I also have a tavern and stored wine in my territory."

“But because I was short of a bartender, my pub was never able to operate.”

"I also know that you have worked at Zhuolan Tavern for many years. It would not be a good idea to poach you."

"So I want to ask, do you have any recommendations?"

After saying that, Cao Xing took out 200 crowns and placed them on the bar.

Bartender Elkan thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "In fact, I have a son who just turned 17 this year."

"But he has been learning bartending techniques from me for many years. When I'm not around, he will come to Zhuolan Tavern to take over my job."

"If this lord doesn't mind, I can go and call him down."

Hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Elkan."

Elkan saluted and left the bar.

After a while, he brought a young man who looked 70% similar to him, but younger and with a paler face.

After seeing Cao Xing, the young man nervously shouted, "Sir... Sir..."

Cao Xing nodded, then quickly glanced at his attributes.

[Hog Village Villager: Lachi Babu]

[Level: Level 4]

[HP: 420/420]

[Attack power: 12~15]

[Skills: Basic winemaking knowledge, basic bartending skills]

[Talent: Sensitive sense of smell (Razi inherited his father's talent and was born with a more sensitive sense of smell than ordinary people)]

...

Cao Xing's eyes suddenly lit up.

Wow, is this talent hereditary?
He smiled and said, "Mr. Elkan, your son has a good talent."

Hearing the praise, Elkan also had a gratified smile on his face, "Your Excellency is overpraising me."

Then, Cao Xing asked, "Laqi, are you willing to go back to the territory with me and work there?"

"I will pay you the same as your father here."

Hearing this, Lucky gave his father a tentative look.

Elkan nodded.

Lachi immediately said excitedly: "I do, your Excellency the Respected Lord!"

Cao Xing also laughed.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll take you to the village chief for approval."

After saying that, he called in Renis, Andrew, Hilda, Bron and others.

The small tavern was suddenly filled with several large men.

Looking at the powerful aura emanating from this group of people, Laci's eyes were filled with surprise and envy.

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Mr. Elkan, these are all my subjects."

"I'll let them relax here for a while, and I'll pay for all the expenses when I come back."

Assam and others had been fighting all day today, so Cao Xing wanted them to have a few drinks to entertain themselves.

Cao Xing turned around and said, "Assam, Bron, you wait here for a while. Order whatever you want to drink."

After hearing this, the bearded Bron immediately laughed and said, "What? There's wine to drink!"

"Great! Long live the Lord!"

Bron pulled Assam over to the bar excitedly and started ordering like crazy.

Seeing this scene, Cao Xing smiled and shook his head.

Of course, the others who didn't drink, such as Hilda and Renees, sat at a table alone.

Cao Xing told Liu Muxue, "Muxue, I'm going to take Laqi to find the village chief. You wait for me in the tavern."

Liu Muxue had a faint smile on her face, then nodded slightly and sat down next to Renis.

They don't need to worry about Cao Xing's safety.

With Sarah by Cao Xing's side, even if he encountered an assassination like yesterday, he could easily resolve it.
Moreover, Cao Xing’s strength has skyrocketed now. He can transform into a demon at any time and use the [Book of the Dead], so he has many cards in his hand.

Then, Cao Xing and Laqi walked out of the tavern together.

Soon, they arrived at the village chief's residence.

After hearing Cao Xing explain his purpose, the village chief readily agreed to this request.

After all, to him, Lachi was just a little guy in the village with nothing to do.

Nothing compared to old Mel.

It just so happened that the right lord took a liking to him, and it also solved some of the employment burden for the village.

The system prompt appears. [The head of Hog Village has approved your recruitment application. Lachi Babu has joined your territory. The population of the territory has increased by 1.]

After saying goodbye to the old village chief, Cao Xing and the other man stood at the door.

Lachi saluted respectfully and said, "Dear Lord, Lachi will work hard for you in the future."

Cao Xing nodded. "Don't be too nervous. Our tavern is not very large at the moment, so your work won't be too tiring."

Hearing this, Lachi smiled and said, "Lord, I am not afraid of being tired from the work. I am just worried that I may not do a good job and ruin your reputation."

"Now, please allow me to go home and pack my luggage. I will devote myself to the next task."

Cao Xing nodded and said, "Go ahead, Laqi. Just come to the tavern to find me later."

"Yes, Lord Lord."

After saying that, Lachi trotted away from here.
Just as Cao Xing was about to return to the tavern,
I happened to pass by the store where I bought food the day before yesterday.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing decided to go in and purchase some other supplies.

Anyway, he is rich now, with hundreds of thousands of kronor in his bag, so he can spend it without worry.

At this moment, the proprietress Elena was lying on the counter with a listless look on her face.

When he saw Cao Xing coming in, his eyes suddenly lit up.

She quickly stood up from the counter and ran to Cao Xing.

He chuckled and said, "Sir, you are here again?"

Cao Xing felt a fragrance coming towards him and wondered what perfume Elena was using.

He nodded, "Yes, Madam, I'm here to buy some supplies."

Elena was overjoyed after hearing this. She naturally took Cao Xing's arm and held his hand tightly under her armpit.

Waves of softness came from between my arms.

Cao Xing tilted his head and looked. Today, Elena was wearing a white shawl and simple casual clothes.

It perfectly shows off her full and slightly plump figure, making her look very mature and charming.

Elena held Cao Xing's arm and chuckled again: "Sir, do you need to buy food today?"

Cao Xing shook his head and said, "We won't buy food today. The food we bought last time will be enough for us to eat for a while."

"I want to ask if you have any other vegetable seeds. I want to buy some and grow them myself."

Hearing this, Elena's beautiful eyes flashed with a thoughtful look.

Then she nodded her head and said, "Sir, you came at a good time. I have indeed received a new batch of seeds, including carrots, spinach, beets, garlic, etc."

"I don't know, which one do you need?"

As Elena spoke, she pressed half of her body against Cao Xing, as if whispering in his ear.

Cao Xing thought: "Give me a bag of each."

"Yes, sir~"

Elena readily agreed, "But sir, in addition to these ordinary vegetable seeds, I have also received a new batch of magical plant seeds. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Magic seeds?"

Elena nodded. "A few days ago, a few hunters went hunting in the Borelis Mountains and accidentally picked up something in the mountains. It is said that it is the seeds of some magical plant: Spirit Breath Grass."

"I told them that it was useless for me to ask for this as I own a food store, but they insisted on forcing it on me."

"I thought, we are all from the same village, and it would be hard to live in this icy and snowy place, so I accepted it. But now I haven't been able to sell it."

After listening to Elena, Cao Xing nodded.

Although he didn't know what the spiritual breath grass did, since it was a magical plant, it must have something extraordinary about it.

So Cao Xing said, "Okay, bring them all here so I can take a look."

After hearing this, Elena smiled even more happily, "Sir, please sit by the stove for a while and wait for me to get the seeds for you~"

After saying that, Elena supported Cao Xing and walked towards the fireplace.

Cao Xing came and sat down by the stove, while Elena withdrew and walked into the shop, leaving Cao Xing with only her back.

When Elena walked, her waist twisted and her round hips swayed slightly, showing her charm.

However, this time she stayed in there for a little longer and didn't come out until three or four minutes later.

What surprised Cao Xing was that when Elena came out again, she was wearing a tight cheongsam.

She also had light makeup on her face.

In the light of the candles in the shop, Elena's figure was fully displayed in this tight-fitting cheongsam.

At this moment, Elena walked towards him with her long legs, her snow-white legs swaying in front of Cao Xing, very eye-catching.

Then, she came to Cao Xing, stroked her buttocks with her hands, adjusted her clothes and sat down gently.

She handed Cao Xing a cloth bag.

"Sir, the carrot and beet seeds have been placed at the door of the warehouse. There are more than 3,000 seeds in a bag. I will bring the spirit grass seeds over first. Would you like to take a look?"

Cao Xing nodded and took the cloth bag from Elena.
Although it is very light, it contains at least dozens of seeds.

He took out a green seed and looked at its properties.

[Spirit Breath Grass Seed (Green): Magic Plant]

[Plant it in soil with sufficient vitality and water it regularly with spiritual spring water to make it grow rapidly. 】

(Note: Lingxi grass contains a weak vitality and is one of the main materials for making the secret medicine of life.)
……

When Cao Xing saw the notes on the system, his pupils suddenly widened in shock.

This is actually one of the main ingredients for making the secret elixir of life!

You know, Cao Xing is preparing to use the secret medicine of life instead of beast meat to exchange for the supplies in the hands of the players.

Although he hasn't got the recipe yet, it would be very important to prepare the ingredients in advance.

Seeing Cao Xing's eyes, Elena immediately knew that he was moved.

She leaned forward, resting her chin on one hand.

The heavy soft objects on her chest were placed on the wooden table, making them look particularly exaggerated.

Elena chuckled and said, "Sir, are these magical plant seeds useful to you?"

Cao Xing nodded, "It does work, Ms. Elena."

"I want this batch of seeds. Please name your price."

Hearing the price, Elena chuckled again.

At this moment, Cao Xing suddenly felt a long snake-like leg under the table, resting on his knee.

Then follow the thigh all the way up.

Cao Xing raised his head and looked at Elena, only to see endless charm in her eyes.

One look seems to be able to capture a person's soul.

"Elena?"

Elena said softly: "Sir, in fact, my husband died in an accident in the snow many years ago."

"For so many years, I have been guarding this grain store alone. It's very lonely..."

"The men in Hog ​​Village are all big and strong, and I don't like them..."

Her face looked a little sad.

And Cao Xing suddenly understood something.

At the same time, Cao Xing noticed that Elena's other leg was also under the table.

The beautiful woman's long, white and slightly fleshy legs were constantly stroked under Cao Xing's body.

After a while, the charm in Elena's eyes became even stronger.

Then she smiled charmingly and crawled under the table.

……

The wood in the stove was crackling.

……

They are currently inside the grain store, and from this angle they don't have to worry about being seen by people outside.

After a moment, Elena stood up and locked the door of the grain shop.

Then she walked over and sat on Cao Xing.

"Sir, can you grant Elena's wish?"

Through the silk texture of the cheongsam, I can feel the soft body.

There was endless heat in the beautiful woman's eyes, as if she wanted to swallow Cao Xing.

Cao Xing nodded.

Elena smiled even more happily.

For the next half hour, Elena was releasing the flame that had been dormant for many years.

The enthusiasm was so great that even Cao Xing could not help but marvel at it.

After a moment, Elena was soaked in sweat and collapsed.

Just when Elena thought it was over, she saw Cao Xing pick her up directly.

Elena was surprised at first, and then her face showed uncontrollable joy.

After another fierce fight, Elena was completely exhausted.

Afterwards, Elena sat in Cao Xing's arms, her eyes full of love.

Cao Xing looked at the time.

[Due to nightfall: 32 minutes and 17 seconds...]

"Elena, I have to go."

After hearing this, Elena reluctantly stood up from him.

However, when she got up, she deliberately twisted her round buttocks a few times.

"Okay, sir. I'll take you to get the seeds~"

After saying that, he took Cao Xing's hand and came to the warehouse behind the store.

At the door of the warehouse there were four bags of seeds that Elena had already moved down.

Cao Xing asked, "Elena, how much are these seeds and the spiritual grass seeds outside?"

However, Elena chuckled and said, "My Lord, you have already paid the fee."

"When you come to Hog Village in the future, remember to come and visit my grain store often~"

After hearing this, Cao Xing was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"it is good."

After saying that, he put the four bags of seeds on the ground and the magic plant seeds on the table into his backpack.

[Obtain: Carrot seeds*3231]

[Obtain: Spinach seeds*3523]

[Obtain: Beet Seeds*4231]

[Obtain: Garlic Seeds*1024]

[Obtain: Spiritual Breath Grass Seeds*72 pieces]

Then, under Elena's reluctant gaze, Cao Xing pushed open the door of the grain store.

call--

The howling cold wind outside instantly woke Cao Xing up.

After a while, he returned to the tavern.

Inside the Zhuolan Tavern, Bron's face was already red from drinking, and he even challenged Assam to a drinking contest.

Xierda occupied a table and tasted the bright red wine.

As for Renis and Liu Muxue, they were sitting at a separate table with smiles on their faces.

Laci had also packed his luggage and was waiting in the tavern.

After seeing Cao Xing, everyone stood up...
