Chapter 140 Elena’s invitation from the landlady
“Let’s go, let’s go to Hog Village to take shelter!”
As soon as the words fell, everyone started running wildly despite the hail.
Fortunately, this freezing rain came and went away just as quickly.
It only rained for ten minutes and then stopped.
Cao Xing and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, and then gradually slowed down.
After a few more minutes, they had arrived at the location of Hog Village.
Cao Xing saw that a group of villagers had climbed onto the roof and began to repair their smashed and riddled roof.
This is weather in extreme environments.
Just ten minutes of freezing rain is comparable to a natural disaster.
If it rained for half an hour longer, I’m afraid all the houses in Hog Village would suffer.
However, the villagers seem to have become accustomed to this phenomenon.
The group of militiamen also stood and watched.
Seeing Cao Xing’s team, he was no longer 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…are you here again?”
Cao Xing nodded, then smiled and said, “Yes, I’m here to purchase some supplies.”
By the way, let’s see if we can recruit some talents.
Of course, Cao Xing didn’t say the last sentence.
Cao Xing continued: “Don’t be nervous, I understand the rules.”
Then, he prepared to take Dabai and Hilda to the nearby shed.
The militiamen looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
“This gentleman is really easy to talk to.”
“Actually, we can let you go directly, but your mount is too big. The streets in our Hog Village are too narrow. If you are not careful, it will collapse if you are not careful. Please forgive me…”
Cao Xing smiled and nodded, “Understood, understood.”
After saying that, he left Dabai and Frostwolf behind.
Then he led others, including Hilda, into Hog Village.
Along the way, the villagers all looked at Cao Xing and the powerful men around him.
Especially Blood Spider Queen Hilda 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.
Yesterday, the news that this powerful lord killed hundreds of cultists in one fell swoop had already spread in the village.
Coupled with what Cao Xing said when he left, the villagers regarded him as the embodiment of justice and the hero who protected Hoge Village.
Under the watchful eyes of the villagers.
Cao Xing and others went straight to Zhuolan Tavern in the village.
This is also the only tavern in the village.
He asked the others to wait outside while he took Liu Muxue and Assam directly into the tavern.
The tavern was warm and full of people.
Checked the temperature.
[Current temperature: 16℃]
As soon as the three people entered, the noisy tavern instantly became quiet.
They all noticed Cao Xing and Assam, as well as the beautiful Liu Muxue next to them.
Some of the drunkards, seemingly because they drank too much, also focused on Liu Muxue, with naked looks in their eyes.
Just as they were about to stand up, some of their companions next to them pushed these guys 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! joke! The scene where these people went on a killing spree in Hoge Village yesterday is still vivid in my mind.
Don’t you know who you should offend and who you shouldn’t offend? The companions of this group smiled apologetically at Cao Xing, but at the same time they felt 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 tavern breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.
Cao Xing glanced at this group of people. They were all ordinary wandering mercenaries and drunkards.
I couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed because I didn’t find any special talents.
Then he went straight to the bar.
A neatly dressed bartender wearing a jacket looked at Cao Xing with a gentle smile.
“Sir, would you like something to drink?”
Before Cao Xing could speak, the bartender took the initiative to introduce: “We have craft rum here, fruit wine produced by Ruth Winery, and Beauclair white wine…”
“I suggest that this gentleman try our white wine, and that the person next to you can have a glass of rum.”
“As for this lady who is as beautiful as a fairy, you can try our fruit wine.”
Cao Xing also laughed, “Then I’ll do as you say.”
After saying that, he took out a hundred crowns from his backpack.
But the bartender shook his head and said with a smile: “Sir, you don’t need to pay crown, this is my personal treat for you to drink.”
“Your heroic deeds yesterday made me admire you endlessly.”
Cao Xing was stunned. The benefits of establishing good relationships with other forces were now revealed.
He did not shirk, but nodded and said: “Thank you very much.”
The bartender smiled and then turned around to make drinks.
Cao Xing, on the other hand, glanced at his attributes silently.
[Hog Village Villager: Elkann Babu]
[Level: Level 7]
[HP: 680/680]
[Attack power: 31~38]
[Skills: Observation of Moments, Elementary Bartending Skills, Elementary Winemaking Knowledge]
[Talent: Sensitive sense of smell (Elkan was born with a more sensitive sense of smell than ordinary people)]
…
“Not bad talents, as well as bartending skills and brewing skills.”
This is one of the goals Cao Xing is looking for.
However, this is the only bartender in Zhuo Lan Tavern, so it would not be good for Cao Xing to poach him.
After a while, the bartender placed the three glasses of wine he had prepared in front of the three of them.
“Sir, your wine is ready.”
Cao Xing nodded, and then said: “Hello, Mr. Elkann, I have something to ask you.”
He got straight to the point.
The bartender looked at Cao Xing with a smile, seemingly surprised that he actually knew his name.
“Sir, please speak.”
Cao Xing said: “You should know that I am a nearby lord, and I also have a tavern and stored wine in my territory.”
“But I haven’t been able to run my bar because I’m short of a bartender.”
“I also know that you have been working at Zhuolan Tavern for many years. It would not be a good idea to poach you away.”
“So I want to ask, do you have anyone to recommend?”
After speaking, Cao Xing took out 200 crowns and placed them on the bar.
Bartender Elkann thought for a moment, then nodded, “Actually, I have a son who just turned 17 this year.”
“But he has been learning bartending skills from me for many years. When I am not around, he will come to Zhuolan Tavern to take my place.”
“If this lord doesn’t mind, I can call him down.”
Upon hearing this, Cao Xing’s eyes suddenly lit up and he said, “I’ll trouble you, Mr. Elkann.”
Elkann saluted and left the bar.
After a while, he brought a young man who was seventy percent similar to him, but younger and a little pale.
After seeing Cao Xing, the young man shouted nervously, “Sir…sir…”
Cao Xing nodded, then quickly glanced at his attributes.
[Hog Village Villager: Lachie Babu]
[Level: Level 4]
[HP: 420/420]
[Attack power: 12~15]
[Skills: Elementary winemaking knowledge, elementary bartending technology]
[Talent: Sensitive sense of smell (Lazi 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.
Good guy, is this talent hereditary? He smiled and said: “Mr. Elkann, your son has a good talent.”
Hearing the praise, Elkann also had a happy smile on his face, “This gentleman is overly complimentary.”
Then, Cao Xing asked: “Lachi, are you willing to come 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.
Elkann nodded.
Lucky suddenly said excitedly: “I do, my dear lord!”
Cao Xing also laughed.
“Okay, then just wait a moment and I’ll take you to the village chief for approval.”
After saying that, he called in Rhaenys, Andrew, Hilda, Bronn and others.
The small tavern was suddenly filled with several large figures.
Looking at the powerful aura emitted by this group of people, Lachi had a look of surprise and envy in his eyes.
Cao Xing smiled and said: “Mr. Elkann, these are my subjects.”
“I’ll let them relax here first, and all the expenses will be paid when I come back.”
Assam and others had been fighting all day today, and Cao Xing wanted them to have a few glasses of wine to relax.
Cao Xing turned around and said: “Assam, Bron, you wait here for a while and order whatever you want to drink.”
After hearing this, the bearded Bronn immediately laughed and said, “What? There’s wine to drink!”
“Awesome! Long live the lord!”
Bronn pulled Assam, rushed to the bar excitedly, and started a crazy session.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing smiled and shook his head.
Of course, the other non-drinkers, such as Hilda and Rhaenys, were sitting at a table alone.
Cao Xing told Liu Muxue, “Muxue, I’ll take Laqi to find the village chief. You wait for me in the tavern.”
Liu Muxue had a slight smile on her face, then nodded lightly and sat next to Renice.
They don’t need to worry about Cao Xing’s safety.
With Sarah by Cao Xing’s side, even if he encounters an assassination like yesterday, he can easily solve it. Moreover, Cao Xing’s current strength has skyrocketed. He can activate the demon transformation and use the [Book of the Dead] at any time, so he has many trump cards.
Then, Cao Xing and Lucky 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 the request.
After all, to him, Lucky was just a little guy in the village who had nothing to do.
Nothing compared to old Mel.
It happened that the lord took a fancy to it, and it also solved some of the employment burden for the village.
A system prompt appears.
After bidding farewell to the old village chief, Cao Xing and Cao Xing stood at the door.
Lucky saluted respectfully and said: “Dear Lord, Lucky will work well for you in the future.”
Cao Xing nodded, “Don’t be too nervous. Our tavern is currently not large, so your work will not be too tiring.”
Hearing this, Lucky also had a smile on his face, “Lord, I’m not afraid of being tired from work, I’m just worried that if I don’t do it well, it will damage your reputation.”
“Now, please allow me to go home and tidy up, and then I will devote myself to the next work.”
Cao Xing nodded, “Go ahead, Lucky. You can just go to the tavern to find me later.”
“Yes, Lord Lord.”
After saying that, Laqi trotted away from here. Just as Cao Xing was about to return to the tavern, he accidentally passed by the store where he 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 crowns in his bag, so he can rest assured.
Elena, the proprietress’s wife, was lying on the counter in a dazed manner.
After seeing Cao Xing come in, his eyes suddenly lit up.
She quickly stood up from the counter and ran quickly to Cao Xing.
He chuckled softly and said, “Sir, are you here again?”
Cao Xing felt a fragrance coming from the front and wondered what kind of perfume Elena used.
He nodded, “Yes, boss lady, I’m here to purchase some supplies.”
After hearing this, Elena was overjoyed. She naturally took Cao Xing’s arm and held his hand tightly under her armpit.
Waves of softness came from between the arms.
Cao Xing tilted his head and looked around. Today, Elena was wearing a white shawl and simple casual clothes.
Her plump and slightly plump figure is perfectly presented, making her look very mature and charming.
Elena held Cao Xing’s arm and chuckled again: “Sir, do you still want 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 you if you have any other vegetable seeds here. I want to buy some and grow them myself.”
Hearing this, Elena’s beautiful eyes flashed with a look of thought.
Then he tapped his head and said: “Sir, it’s a coincidence that you are here. I have indeed received a new batch of seeds here, including carrots, spinach, beets, garlic, etc.”
“I don’t know, which one do you need?”
Elena said, leaning half of her body against Cao Xing, as if whispering in his ear.
Cao Xing thought about it and said, “Give me a bag of each kind.”
“A good adult~”
Elena readily agreed, “But sir, in addition to these ordinary vegetable seeds, I also have a new batch of magical plant seeds here. Are you interested?”
“Magic seed?”
Elena nodded, “A few days ago, a few hunters went hunting in the Borellis Mountains. What they accidentally picked up in the mountains was said to be some kind of magical plant: the seeds of the Spirit Breath Grass.”
“I said it was useless for me as a food store owner, but they insisted on forcing it on me.”
“I thought that we are all from the same village and it would be difficult to live in this kind of ice and snow, so I accepted it. As a result, I haven’t been able to take action now.”
After listening to Elena’s words, Cao Xing nodded.
Although he didn’t know what the spiritual breath grass did, but since it was a magical plant, it must have something extraordinary about it.
So, Cao Xing said, “Okay, then bring it over together and let me 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 helped Cao Xing and walked towards the stove.
Cao Xing came to sit down by the stove, while Elena pulled away and walked into the shop, leaving Cao Xing behind.
When Elena walked, her waist twisted and her round buttocks swayed slightly, showing off her charm.
However, it took a little long for her to go in this time, and it took three or four minutes for her to come out.
What surprised Cao Xing was that when Elena came out again, she actually put on a close-fitting cheongsam.
There was also light makeup on her face.
Under the illumination of the candlelight in the store, Elena’s figure curves were fully displayed by this close-fitting cheongsam.
At this moment, Elena moved her slender legs and walked towards him gracefully. The white legs dangled in front of Cao Xing, which was very eye-catching.
Then, she came to the opposite side of Cao Xing, put her hands on her buttocks, arranged her clothes and sat down gently.
She handed Cao Xing a cloth bag.
“Sir, 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 over the seeds of the Spirit Breath Grass first. Can you take a look?”
Cao Xing nodded and took the cloth bag in Elena’s hand. Although it was light, it contained at least dozens of seeds.
He took out a green seed and looked at its attributes.
[Spirit Breath Grass Seed (Green): Magic Plant]
[Plant in soil with sufficient vitality and water it regularly with spiritual spring water to make it grow quickly. 】
(Note: Lingxi grass contains weak vitality and is one of the main materials for making the secret medicine of life.)…
Seeing the note on the system, Cao Xingyuan’s pupils were suddenly startled.
This is actually one of the main materials for making the secret medicine of life!
You know, Cao Xing is preparing to use the secret medicine of life to replace the animal meat in exchange for the materials in the players’ hands.
Although he hasn’t got the formula yet, it would be very important if he could prepare the materials in advance.
Seeing Cao Xing’s eyes, Elena immediately knew that his heart was moved.
She leaned forward and held her chin in one hand.
The pair of heavy soft objects on her chest were placed on the wooden table, which looked extremely exaggerated.
Elena chuckled and said, “Sir, are these magic plant seeds useful to you?”
Cao Xing nodded, “It does work, Ms. Elena.”
“I want this batch of seeds. Please give me a price.”
Elena chuckled again when she heard the price.
At this moment, Cao Xing suddenly felt that there was a long snake-like leg under the table, putting it on his knee.
Then follow the thighs and go all the way up.
Cao Xing raised his head and looked at Elena, only to see endless charm in her eyes.
One look can seem to draw away a person’s soul.
“Elena?”
Elena said softly: “Sir, my husband actually died in an accident many years ago in the snow.”
“For so many years, I have been guarding this grain store alone. It’s very lonely…”
“The men in Hog Village are all rough and rough, 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 put up under the table.
The beautiful woman’s fair and slightly voluptuous long legs were constantly caressing under Cao Xing.
After a while, the charm in Elena’s eyes became even stronger.
Then, she smiled charmingly and got under the table.
……
The wood in the stove is burning ‘crackling’
……
Their current location is inside the grain store. From this angle, there is no need to worry about being seen by outsiders.
After a while, Elena stood up and locked the door of the grain store.
Then, she walked over and sat on Cao Xing.
“Sir, can you grant Elena’s wish?”
Through the silk-textured cheongsam, you can feel the soft body.
The beautiful woman’s eyes were filled with endless fire, as if she wanted to devour Cao Xing.
Cao Xing nodded.
Elena suddenly smiled even more happily.
For the next half hour, Elena released her flames that had been dormant for many years.
The enthusiasm made Cao Xing marvel at it.
After a while, Elena’s body was soaked with sweat and she collapsed.
And just when Elena thought it was over, she saw Cao Xing hugging her directly.
Elena was surprised at first, and then there was uncontrollable joy in her eyes.
After another fierce struggle, Elena completely lost her strength.
Afterwards, Elena sat in Cao Xing’s arms, her eyes filled with deep love.
Cao Xing looked at the time.
[Distance to nightfall: 32 minutes and 17 seconds…]
“Elena, it’s time for me to go.”
After hearing this, Elena reluctantly stood up from him.
However, when she got up, she also used her round buttocks to deliberately twist a few times.
“Okay, sir, I will take you to get the seeds~”
After saying that, he led Cao Xing to the warehouse behind the store.
At the door of the warehouse are four bags of seeds that Elena has moved down.
Cao Xing asked: “Elena, how much do these seeds, as well as the Spirit Breath Grass seeds outside, cost together.”
However, Elena chuckled and said, “Sir, you have already paid the fee.”
“When you come to Hoge Village in the future, remember to come and take care of my grain store~”
Cao Xing was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
“good.”
After speaking, 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]
[Get: Garlic Seeds*1024]
[Obtain: Spirit Breath Grass Seeds*72]
Then, under Elena’s reluctant eyes, Cao Xing pushed open the door of the grain store.
call–
The cold wind howling outside instantly woke Cao Xing up.
After a while, he returned to the tavern.
In Zhuolan’s Tavern, Bronn’s face was red from drinking, and he even challenged Assam to a drinking competition.
Hilda occupied a table to herself, tasting bright red wine.
As for Renice and Liu Muxue, they were at a separate table with smiles on their faces.
Lucky had also packed up his gifts and was waiting in the tavern.
After seeing Cao Xing, everyone stood up…
