Chapter 93 Yucca and Beria, Hunter and Prey [Pursuit
Chapter 93 Yucca and Beria, Hunter and Prey [Quest for Pursuit I]
When new quotes appear.
"One-eyed Cow" Henry was stunned for a moment.
Originally, he was triumphantly talking nonsense to the armored dwarf who was leaving the stage.
At the same time, he also fantasized about how he would ride Zerikan's twin horses after the bidding was over.
I even thought about which hotel to stay at and which kind of drink to drink.
Just when Henry was in a state of ecstasy and was about to fly into the clouds.
Suddenly a heavy hammer fell from the sky, knocking him back to reality.
"Eight...eighty thousand crowns!"
Even as a peak bronze adventurer and team leader, this price is not low.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the direction of the bidder, even the twin slave girls on the stage.
"Look, it's a human, but he's not wearing an adventurer badge!"
"He also has a girl from the Cat-Ear Tribe in his arms!"
"Damn it!"
"Wait a minute, do you think that human looks a bit like a Zerikan?"
"Idiot! The men in Zerikan look very rough. He is more like a person from the eastern border country of Serikania!"
"The humans around the Eastern Region all look the same!"
"Be careful, there are not many Orientals who can come this far and are easy to mess with."
"Stupid Pavle Frey, have you forgotten the Zerikan female warrior who caused trouble in Magtan City two Naroa years ago?"
…
The people around me were talking a lot, all discussing the origin of the bidder.
The tingling sensation stemming from the sensory warning made Chen Xuan feel a little uncomfortable.
There were too many eyes staring at him.
Henry, the "one-eyed cow", was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He took off the horn helmet on his head and kneaded it to vent his frustration.
He followed the direction of everyone's gaze and saw Chen Xuan standing on the sidelines.
I found out it was an unknown person.
To be honest, Henry thought he could recognize at least most of the guys in Magatan City who were capable of participating in the auction, but he didn't expect that the person who intercepted him turned out to be a stranger.
Moreover, the opponent tried his best to restrain his magic energy, did not wear a badge, and looked like an ordinary person.
It was just the face that looked like an Oriental from the Naroa continent that made him hesitate.
But the rage in his heart still caused the trash talk to come out of his mouth.
"Eighty thousand crowns!"
"You little bastard who deserves to be cooked in the fire!"
"I'm going to put the hot iron pot on the street on your butt!"
"Twist your legs again!"
…
Chen Xuan didn't even bother to pay attention to "One-Eyed Cow" Henry's clamor.
He turned to look at the Zerikan twins who were sizing him up.
I saw that the hatred in the eyes of the two sisters had faded a lot, and was replaced by curiosity.
They were also thinking about Chen Xuan's appearance.
Curiosity is always a two-way street.
“If no one bids, is it time to set the auction clock?”
Chen Xuan frowned and shouted at Wes Mazelin, who was smiling and rubbing his hands like a fly.
This guy is just a profiteer, and he is reluctant to set the price.
"Ahem...you're right!"
"Then everyone, is there no one who is willing to bid again?"
"It only costs 80,000 crowns. As long as everyone saves money, we can save enough money and capture two beautiful and capable Zerikan slave girls!"
Wes Mazelin did not forget to secretly change the concept and promote it again.
In fact, it is not easy for even a peak bronze-level adventurer to save 80,000 crowns.
Chen Xuan, who had been frugally saving money for four years in Shanghai, knows this very well.
Any behavior that ignores the process and time and directly talks about the results is a hooliganism.
After coming back to his senses, "One-Eyed Cow" Henry quickly raised his hand and made another fierce offer.
"8...81,000 crowns!"
His tone sounded a little painful.
It seems that when it reaches more than 80,000 crowns, every extra cent will cost the lives of his whole family.
Chen Xuan still had about 116,000 crowns in his pocket.
This is not counting the five thousand kroner pocket money he gave to Kitten Girl in advance, and the funds Ophelia took away to build a new caravan.
Money is just a number, and he still has five tons of magic tears in his storage compartment!
Before leaving Siam, Chen Xuan deliberately purchased mercury, not to use it as air and decoration. These are real hard currencies, equivalent to gold in another world!
In addition, among the batch of magic tears recovered from Harward, except for the four that were crushed and damaged in the chaos, there are still 19 remaining ones, which can all be used as high-value pledges.
To be honest, Chen Xuan's current asset potential is not comparable to that of "One-Eyed Cow" Henry.
And as someone who could kill the leader of the pinnacle Bronze-level dwarves in Moore, he didn't think he was qualified to participate in this slave auction that was dominated by Bronze-level adventurers.
He can bear all the risks that a bronze-level adventurer can take, even more calmly.
Blue Star, Naroa, and Goldfinger are all at your side!
Each element is unmatched by other bidders.
It is his principle to not underestimate himself or his opponents.
If he wasn't steady enough, he wouldn't have waited patiently for two rounds of offers before deciding to make a move.
Whenever there are changes during the period, or if a high-level expert is involved, he will re-evaluate the situation.
The reason for his participation in the auction is actually very simple.
Everyone yearns for beautiful things.
Zerikan's twin slave girls are both beautiful and capable of fighting, and can also serve as ruthless swordsman guards.
In addition, it comes with a mysterious life experience and oriental swordsmanship, and it is also a public auction on site.
Why is it that everyone present wants it, but he, Chen, deliberately pretends to be a coward?
Everyone wants to eat something delicious, and everyone wants to use something useful. It’s just human nature.
Forcibly pretending to be a bad person is the most deadly, so it’s okay not to mention it.
So after evaluating his assets, he made another offer.
"85,000 crowns!"
Compared to Henry the One-Eyed Ox's nagging offer, Chen Xuan seemed much more cheerful.
As soon as the price came out, Henry, who was not far away, immediately threw the helmet in his hand to the ground.
Roaring, he was about to push away the crowd and rush over to trouble Chen Xuan.
Because 85,000 kronor happens to be his bottom line!
This is the result of him borrowing every big piece from his teammates.
The adventurers who stood in front of the two of them dispersed, hoping to watch a good show.
Just as the distance between the two sides was getting closer, Wes Mazelin on the court suddenly blew the whistle.
Immediately, two slaves holding scimitars and wearing collars jumped down and stood directly in front of Chen Xuan.
After Mosu encouraged them, they were all at the peak of bronze level.
As a slave trader, Wes Mazelin still has something.
However, "One-Eyed Bull" Henry's players are also gearing up.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.
Chen didn't panic at all, and even thought they were noisy.
"Beep beep beep!"
At this time, the garrison not far away blew their whistles and marched towards the square in formation.
Wes Mazelin, who was standing on the stage, smoothed things over in time.
"Gentlemen, please calm down!"
"No one wants to spend a Naraya day in the garrison's security cell, right?"
"I heard the smell in there is worse than a shoe repairman's rotten shoes!"
He said jokingly, mentioning a Naroa slang.
"snort!"
Seeing this, Henry, the "one-eyed cow", could only choose to give up.
The offer of eighty-five thousand crowns was certainly embarrassing to him.
It accurately stuck to his expectations, unless he pledged the food guy thing.
But his remaining sense told him not to do this.
"call!"
Breathing out a heavy breath, Henry suddenly revealed a sinister smile.
"You brat, I remember you!"
After saying a harsh word, he left with his team members.
Just like the armored dwarf he defeated with his wallet not long ago.
After that, no one bid on the spot.
Chen Xuan acquired the Zerikan twin slave girls for 85,000 crowns!
Wes Mazerin took him to the temporary tent set up behind the field for handover.
The field was also replaced by the next batch of slaves to be auctioned——
——A group of lively red-scaled kobolds.
They are good at mining, have average to low intelligence, and can understand basic instructions.
The main bidders in this round are farmers from around Magtan City.
…
"From now on, they are yours!"
Looking at the dark gold coins on the table, Wes Mazelin said from ear to ear.
The two parties just concluded a transaction contract.
The terms are very simple, with the main content being no regrets, fraud, cooperation in transactions, etc.
Chen Xuan has never been afraid of making contracts, and he even dares to pluck the wool of God.
The entire contract system of Naroa collapsed for him.
With the transaction contract as the first layer of protection, the next thing will be easier to handle.
He gave money, Wes Mazerin gave people.
After putting away the dark gold coins, the slave merchant stood up and patted the twin female slaves on their arms.
"It's time to fulfill the contract."
"This is your new master."
“Look at his appearance, you will surely be treated well.”
Wes Mazerin hinted meaningfully.
The two women remained silent. They had no right to decide on a new party.
Control remained with the slave traders.
The next moment, information about two soul contracts appeared in Chen Xuan's mind.
This is a change of owner transfer initiated by Wes Mazerin.
Unlike paper carriers, information that appears directly in his mind allows him to read it instantly.
The terms regarding the two girls were quite strict, and the only restriction on the owner of the contract was not to torture or kill them at will.
The term lasts until the end of the two daughters' lives.
Sure enough, the slave contract was superior to the master-servant contract in terms of control.
After repeated checks and confirmation, Chen Xuan chose to conclude the contract and left his soul imprint on the contract.
He and the two Zerikan female slaves immediately established a weak telepathy.
"You are such a generous patron!"
“Happy to work with!”
"I wonder if you need the company to provide escort?"
"For only two hundred crowns, our firm's slave guards can escort you all the way home."
Wes Mazelin offered a timely compliment and promoted a wave of new services.
Chen Xuan shook his head and asked the questions in his mind before leaving.
"I wonder how your firm managed to get the violent Zerikan woman to sign a contract obediently?"
This question brought a playful smile to Weiss' face.
"Sir, this is a trade secret!"
"But considering how generous you are, it's not impossible to say that."
"After all, setting up a slave-catching team is a complicated matter."
"Generally speaking, when dealing with those ethnic groups with strong personalities, you cannot use them as threats."
"We will use the other person's relatives and friends to coerce them into submission."
"When the iron is hot, most slaves will choose to surrender after seeing the painful wails of their relatives and friends and smelling the stench of burnt flesh."
"You should understand that once the slave-catching team is dispatched, it will be a group of people."
"If you can't catch your friends and family, you'll have to take your time."
"There are other secrets involved in this."
"Of course, slave catching also carries great risks, especially in the Zerikan area. Our slave catching team under Mezerin alone lost hundreds of people."
Wes Mazelin shrugged, but did not untie the two Zerikan sisters.
Because after the contract was changed, although they could not kill Chen Xuan, they could kill the slave merchant unless the new owner explicitly prohibited it.
"Then they will be left to you, and please restrain their behavior."
"Please!" Chen Xuanyan replied concisely and concisely.
After the slave merchant left, he nodded to Kitten Girl.
The latter immediately stepped forward and untied some kind of tough monster spider silk wrapped around their wrists.
After being untied, the two Zerikan sisters did not show too much excitement, but continued to look at Chen Xuan blankly.
"Morridak?"
"Asan?"
A few strange syllables suddenly came out of their mouths.
This is not the lingua franca of Naroa.
It is the ancient language of the eastern part of the mainland.
Chen Xuan was not surprised. The lingua franca of the Naroa continent only appeared during the multi-ethnic coalition meeting thousands of years ago.
After nearly a thousand years of popularization, it has gradually become a lingua franca.
Before this, each region on the mainland had its own independent ancient language.
To this day, many border nations and ethnic groups, including Zerekan, still retain their ancient language.
"Do you understand Common Tongue?" he asked casually.
The female slave sisters nodded and pointed outside the tent.
"Bad people, taught, a little bit."
"I am sister, Dora Yucca."
"She is my sister, Dora Beria."
The temperaments of the two women were completely different, and it was the elder sister who spoke.
She has a tear mark next to her eyebrows, her hair is longer, and her expression is relatively gentle.
The silent one is the younger sister, with no moles on her face and a cold temperament.
The Zerikan's surname comes first, and their given name comes last.
And if Chen Xuan's translation is correct, their names should all be flowers and plants in the desert.
The former is a Joshua tree and the latter is a marigold.
Now that we can communicate, it will be easier.
"Then Yucca, Beria, please follow me..."
"Well...if you want to kill someone, you need my permission!"
…
More than half an hour later.
Chen Xuan left the Crooked Bones Market with the three girls.
Both Yucca and Beria put on low-level rune leather armor as transitional equipment, with simple [defense] runes drawn on it, which can increase the defense effect of external magic elements.
In addition, Chen Xuan equipped them with two second-order one-handed rune knives similar to the wild goose-wing knife according to their requirements. By the way, he also bought a second-order dagger for the kitten girl Rebecca.
The rune one-handed sword is still very different from the double-thorn sword that their clan is good at, so they can only make do with it in the short term.
In this way, nearly six thousand crowns were spent.
As for the magic sword that Chen Xuan longed for, it was not for sale in Crooked Bones Market.
Although rune weapons and magic weapons are often referred to together, there are actually clear differences between the two.
The former is to add specific rune materials during forging and engrave different rune trajectories, so that the finished weapons and equipment can obtain corresponding gain effects.
The latter mainly adds elemental attack enhancement, and can use the magic sword to wield elemental attacks of corresponding levels and strengths.
If you want to buy a magic sword, you must go to the trading house affiliated with the blacksmith association in the city.
Only the Iron Knight and the Magic Weaver can create magical weapons.
Rune weapons are made by rune blacksmiths, which is another branch.
As an independent world, Naroa's crafting system is complete and complex.
Therefore, the purchase of the magic sword can only be put aside for the time being.
After being armed, Yucca and Beria are also powerful combatants.
In addition, Chen Xuan also bought three elemental magic crystals in the market.
They are the second-level water system [Turbid Wave Rapids], the first-level earth system [Earth Thorn], and the first-level natural system [Twining Thorns].
Second-level spells can only be learned and cast after he has advanced in mental meditation.
Now his mental power is not enough to construct the corresponding spell model.
After returning to the East District Adventurer's Guild, Chen Xuan asked Kitten Girl to take the first step on her bicycle.
Chen Xuan returned with Yuclan and Beria in a carriage.
Not long after he left, "One-Eyed Cow" Henry, who was waiting on the main street, trotted up with his team members!
"Follow him and look for streets where there are no garrison patrols and are suitable for interception!"
Henry ordered to the scouts in the team.
The team then split into two.
Those who move quickly follow the scouts and take the first step, while the rest follow "One-Eyed Cow" Henry.
These guys' attention was completely focused on the carriage Chen Xuan was riding in, and they did not notice that there was a group of people quietly following behind them.
…
The team of the dwarves "Broken Tooth", Steelfire and Bronzebeard wearing iron armor were behind them.
Steel Fire turned to the team members behind him and explained.
"It makes me happy to see Henry deflated!"
"Concentrate your breath!"
"Remember, no matter what that guy wants to do, don't let them succeed!"
"Damn one-eyed cow, I'm going to blind his other eye myself!"
…
The show has just begun, and it is still unclear who is the prey and who is the hunter.
Setting notes: The "I" of the dwarves is interpreted as "I" by default.
In many Western fantasy works, the "I" of mountain ethnic groups is translated as "I".
If not surprising, there will be another chapter in the afternoon, and there should be another chapter in the evening.
