Chapter 208 The Suspicious Peasant Woman and the Queen of Mind (6000)

Olkan smiled and said, "You have a good eye, my lord."

Hearing this, Cao Xing's mouth twitched.

He exaggerated the basic wine-making technology into advanced wine-making technology. These businessmen are really unscrupulous in order to raise the price.

Cao Xing was speechless, "Just tell me how much it costs."

After thinking for a moment, Orkan quoted a price.

"Twenty thousand crowns, sir."

Hearing this number, Cao Xing rolled his eyes again.

He said directly: "Two thousand crowns."

Seeing him bargain so hard all of a sudden, Orkan was a little confused.

He praised this slave to such high heavens, but the other party didn't seem interested at all.

With a troubled look on his face, he said, "Sir, your price is a bit difficult to handle..."

"In our Giant Chamber of Commerce, the cheapest slaves cost thousands of crowns."

"Although Delio doesn't have much fighting power, he is still hardworking and can also make wine. Would you like to add some more?"

After hearing this, Cao Xing offered another price.

"Two thousand five hundred crowns, nothing more."

Hearing the price, Orkan showed hesitation again.

After a moment, he said slowly: "Deal..."

And joy gradually appeared on Cao Xing's face.

After paying 2500 kronor, Olkan 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 the first transaction, Cao Xing picked up a talent, which made him feel very good.

At the same time, Cao Xing looked at a level 13 woman named Sabina next to him.

She has an intermediate medical proficiency skill, and her level 13 physique gives her a little bit of combat power.

Cao Xing asked, "How much is this?"

Olkan looked at her carefully and said, "Sabina was originally a famous doctor in the Principality of Pallas with superb medical skills. But for some reason, one day while treating a baron, she murdered him and was captured by the Knights."

"Sabina should have been hanged on the spot, but she was rescued by a knight she had treated before and fled all the way from the Principality of Pallas. After being hunted down, she fell into the hands of our Giant Chamber of Commerce."

Hearing this, the woman in the prison car had an indifferent expression and her eyes were full of coldness when she looked at Orkan.

Olkan remained unmoved, still with a faint smile on his face, and said, "Sir, this price is a little bit higher, it will cost 50,000 crowns."

After hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes showed a thoughtful look.

Obviously, Orkan should have a general idea of ​​the details and abilities of these slaves.

Even the origins of this Sabina are clear.

Of course, he was certainly exaggerating.

Sabina only has intermediate medical skills, but the businessman Olkan boasts that she has superb medical skills.

However, what Orkan didn't know was that in addition to her medical skills, Sabina had an even more advanced skill.

That is [Advanced Poison Technique Mastery]!
This skill allows Sabina to master various methods of poisoning, and she can also develop various powerful poisons to apply on weapons or arrows, greatly enhancing attack capabilities.

I'm afraid Sabina used this method to poison the Baron and escape 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 would be worth it.

However, he did not act impetuously, but continued to bargain: "I can only offer five thousand crowns, Lord Orkan."

At the price, Orkan's goatee twitched again.

He found that this lord was really patient.

He boasted so much, but the other party was completely unmoved.

This made Orkan wonder if the Giant Chamber of Commerce's method of concealing its aura had failed?
However, after careful confirmation, he found that the aura of these slaves was well hidden, so he gradually felt relieved.

After some bargaining, Cao Xing finally bought Sabina for 12,000 yuan.

Both parties had satisfied smiles on their faces.

Afterwards, Cao Xing picked and chose and bought a few people with good physiques who could be used as laborers.

Among them, there are two slaves who have intermediate cooking proficiency and elementary fishing proficiency and other skills.

Seven people in total.

After some bargaining by Cao Xing, he spent a total of 20,000 kronor to buy them all.

Orkan narrowed his eyes, a genuine smile on his face.

Cao Xing has already purchased 9 slaves from him, making him a pretty good customer.

"Sir, do you need anything else?"

Cao Xing did not say anything, but looked again and checked them one by one.

I hope to find someone like Sabina again, someone with advanced skills!

However, after watching it all, Cao Xing felt a little disappointed.

The remaining slaves were all ordinary people and were of little use.

And the prices of those warriors were too high. For a second-level warrior, the minimum price started at 20,000 crowns.

For Cao Xing, these ordinary soldiers are of little use.

Just as he was about to end the transaction, Cao Xing's gaze suddenly fixed on one of the prison vans.

In the corner squatted a peasant woman wearing dirty cloth and with broad shoulders and a big waist.

Seeing Cao Xing's gaze, the peasant woman opened her mouth and made a "babbling" sound.

She looked at Cao Xing, her pupils turned white, a silly smile appeared on her face, and fishy yellow saliva flowed from the corners of her mouth.

If a normal person saw her like this, they would subconsciously choose to stay away from her.

However, when Cao Xing looked at the other person carefully, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He pointed at the peasant woman and said, "Mr. Olkan, how much is this?"

Orkan was stunned, as if he didn't expect Cao Xing to fall in love with this silly peasant woman.

At this time, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Orkan's mouth, and he showed a look that said "I understand".

He said slowly, "This is M'po. He was originally an acrobat in the Vermont Circus. Later, the Vermont Circus encountered bandits and all the people were killed."

"Only this Mpo. The bandits thought she was really stupid, so they let her go. Later, she was picked up by our Giant Chamber of Commerce."

"If this gentleman wants it, I can give you a base price. How about 1,500 crowns?"

It was clear that Orkan was eager to get rid of this peasant woman.

After all, basically no one would be willing to buy a silly peasant woman like this.

So Orkan offered a very low price right away.

At this moment, Cao Xing saw a look of anxiety 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 1,500 kronor.

The peasant woman was forcibly captured, surrounded by two strong guards.

After completing this wave of transactions.

Orkan looked at Cao Xing and said, "My Lord, are there any slaves that need to be purchased?"

Cao Xing shook his head and said, "Not for now."

He looked through them carefully and found that apart from the peasant woman and the doctor, there was basically nothing missing.

Hearing this, Olkan said, "Then I wonder if you have anyone you need to help?"

"For example, these warriors in your territory, I see that they have strong momentum and are at least at the second level of strength."

"If you are willing to sell it, how about I give you a minimum price of 20,000 crowns?"

It can be seen that this Orkan has taken a fancy to Cao Xing's Ascalon warriors and wild boar warriors.

But his gaze would occasionally linger on Liu Muxue and Renees beside him.

However, Cao Xing shook his head and said, "Sir Orkan, they are all my subjects and my loyal subordinates. I will not sell them."

Hearing this, Olkan said with some regret: "Well... okay."

He didn't continue to pester her.

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 like Renis and Liu Muxue to him.

When he saw Liu Muxue's appearance for the first time, Orkan was already shocked by her beauty!

Coupled with her oriental face, as long as she appears at the auction, her value will even surpass those of the elves!

But what Orkan didn't know was that there were many other beauties in Cao Xing's territory who were as beautiful as Liu Muxue, but with different styles.

For example, Isabel, the tree spirit sisters, Ilena and Hilda and others.

However, these beauties were resting in the territory and were not brought out by Cao Xing.

Orkan didn't dare to ask for this, for fear of angering the lord in front of him.

In fact, his decision was correct.

If he dared to bring it up, Cao Xing would probably make him suffer.

Olkan suppressed all the thoughts in his mind and continued, "My Lord, we still need to find our next place to stay before dark."

"To be honest, we have been to many territories of the Chosen Lords before, but your territory is the largest I have ever seen."

"Next time I have a chance, I will come to visit you again. By then, I will definitely leave you some good stuff!"

It can be seen that he still wants to have a good relationship with Cao Xing.

After hearing this, Cao Xing smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, Lord Orkan."

Separate sides.

Orkan led the Giant Chamber of Commerce's convoy away and gradually disappeared from Cao Xing's sight.

At this time, Renis next to him said with an unnatural expression: "My Lord, the look in this merchant's eyes makes me uncomfortable. It makes me want to shoot an arrow through his eyes." Cao Xing smiled and said, "Don't think too much, Renis. With your and Mu Xue's beauty, it's normal to attract the attention of these guys."

"Rather, this just proves that you have a stunning appearance that makes people drool."

When they heard Cao Xing praising their looks, Renis and Liu Muxue blushed at the same time.

The discomfort in my heart disappeared and I became very happy.

After all, which woman doesn't want to be praised by the person she likes?

At this moment, Renis looked less British and more shy like a young woman.

"I... I'm not as pretty as you say..."

"Besides, I only let the Lord see it..."

Liu Muxue next to him also replied: "Axing, me too..."

Cao Xing smiled and nodded.

Although there are more female fighters in his territory.

But these women are very sensible and easy to please, especially when their loyalty is 100%, they will basically agree % with whatever Cao Xing says.

At this time, a petite figure wrapped in a cotton coat came out from the side.

It was Elisa.

Said: "My Lord! What about me!"

“Is Elisa pretty?”

Cao Xing was stunned. To be honest, he didn't even notice Elisa.

She was shorter in stature and hid behind the tall Assam.

At this moment, the little girl opened her eyes as bright as gems and looked at Cao Xing with anticipation.

Cao Xing looked at her fair face, her round jaw, delicate features, and a strong sense of sweet girl style.

I have to say that Elisa is also a rare little beauty.

After a moment, Cao Xing said, "You are also very beautiful."

After receiving Cao Xing's praise, Elisa laughed foolishly.

After coaxing these women, Cao Xing turned around and looked behind him.

now.

In the snow in front of him, 10 ragged figures stood respectfully.

These were the slaves he had purchased for more than 30,000 crowns.

Cao Xing also looked at the group of slaves in front of him with a slight smile on his face.

Then, he said bluntly: "No matter what you have been through in the past, now you have come to my territory."

"So from now on, everything you have will belong to me, and you must obey my orders from now on. Do you understand?"

The slaves looked at each other and nodded.

Most of the people here, after realizing that they have become slaves, have already understood that they no longer have the right to choose their lives.

The only wish in their hearts is that the new master before them can be nicer to them.

Cao Xing didn't say anything else. These people had already experienced all kinds of deception and lies in their slave life.

Simple words cannot impress them. Only actions can make them feel a sense of belonging.

Then, Cao Xing directly sent them a recruitment message.

All the ordinary slaves clicked to accept.

Only the peasant woman Mpo and the doctor Sabina were still somewhat reluctant, with a look of struggle in their eyes.

The two girls even glanced around secretly, as if they wanted to escape.

However, when they saw the powerful guards around Cao Xing, and the Ascalon Legion and the Wild Boar Warrior Legion behind him.

Finally clicked accept.

[Recruitment successful: Sabina/Michaela/Freddy... joined your territory, territory population +15]

There are only 10 people, but they take up 15 of Cao Xing’s population.

Cao Xing didn't say much, but directly said: "Assam, take them to familiarize themselves with the environment."

These new recruits have low loyalty, being only in their early fifties.

Especially the peasant woman, whose loyalty is only 42.

This is equivalent to running away at any time.

Therefore, it would be useless even if Cao Xing bestowed blessings on her.

She needs to be locked up in the territory first and her loyalty needs to be cultivated for a period of time before she can further develop a sense of belonging to the territory.

Assam walked over respectfully and led the newcomers into the territory.

Looking at their backs, Cao Xing finally couldn't suppress the joy in his heart and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

This time, he found two big bargains!
Sabina, who has [Advanced Poison Mastery], is not the most important one!
The most important thing is the identity of the peasant woman.

Her background seems somewhat surprising.

Cao Xing stared at her sturdy back and glanced at her attributes.

[Status: Domination Seal, Blessing of the Pale Tree]

(Character introduction: Victoria has had an amazing talent for mind power since she was a child. After being spotted by a master-level strongman in the kingdom, she was accepted as a disciple.

Victoria practiced diligently with this master and soon broke through to the fourth level. She was later favored by King Renoir and was named queen.

During her time as Queen Renoir, Victoria not only demonstrated amazing military prowess, but also strong political talent.

With her assistance in governance, the Renoir Kingdom prospered, and Victoria also had a large number of supporters, and her voice in the kingdom reached an unprecedented level.

More than ten years later, King Renoir was aging and announced that Victoria would be the new ruler of the kingdom, which shocked the country.

When Victoria was about to be crowned as the first queen of the Kingdom of Renoir, the enemy country, the Kingdom of Ostia, launched a full-scale war.

During the war, the Renoir Kingdom was defeated, the king was killed, and Victoria, who had not yet become the new queen, was hunted down.

In order to avoid being hunted down by hostile countries, Victoria took the initiative to accept the Domination Seal and completely concealed all her aura. After a series of twists and turns, she successfully escaped from the Kingdom of Renova.

Afterwards, she fled all the way, hiding her identity, waiting for the opportunity to take revenge on the Kingdom of Ostia, and later, 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!

"Oh my god...it's just as I thought. This peasant woman has a surprising background!"

Through the other party's introduction of the character, Cao Xing also roughly understood her experience.

It turns out that this person was once the queen of the Kingdom of Renoir.

But because the kingdom was defeated and the king died in battle, she chose to accept the Domination Seal in order to survive, and then fled.

Victoria's enemies also learned of the queen's escape and began hunting her down in the Western Continent.

Therefore, Victoria could only hide her identity and travel around the continent using the identity of Mpo.

But what she didn't expect was that her disguise was seen through by this lord from another world, and she bought it at a very low price.

However, for Cao Xing, Victoria's identity is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that she is actually a commander-level strongman!
This was the first time he clearly saw the attribute panel of a commander-level creature!
Terribly powerful!
Each skill has various powerful effects.

Especially her [Mind Surround] and [Mind Shield], which can bring great help to Cao Xing and his territory.

Moreover, she also has a commander-level skill, [Random Dance of Thousand Leaves Flowers]. 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 unique features.

The peasant woman 'Mpo' seemed to notice Cao Xing's gaze and turned her head to glance at him secretly.

And Cao Xing saw a hint of scrutiny and consideration in her eyes.

A faint smile appeared on Cao Xing's lips.

It is obvious that Victoria, as queen, definitely wants to continue to escape.

However, now that he had arrived in his territory, how could Cao Xing easily let this person with commander-level strength go?

So Cao Xing came to Sarah and whispered, "Sarah, keep an eye on the peasant woman from behind. If she shows any signs of running away, stop her immediately."

"Be careful, this woman might be very strong."

Although the fourth-level commander is powerful, with Sarah's ability, Cao Xing is still confident that he can keep her.

Even if you can't defeat them, you can delay them for a while.

Hearing this, Sarah waved the Shadow Blade in her hand and nodded slightly.

She did not look at Victoria.

Because she knew that strong people of this level were extremely sensitive to sight and could instantly realize that someone was staring at them.

Sarah disappeared silently.

...

After everyone left, Cao Xing also led his men back to the territory.

Liu Muxue asked softly at this time: "Axing, are we going out this afternoon?"
