Chapter 1393: Chapter 474: Frost Catapult and Corrosion Arrow Tower (6200)_2

“Her father and I were very good friends. Before he passed away, he entrusted me to take care of this girl.”

“If anything happens to this girl, I would truly be letting down my old friend…”

“So, we dispatched a lot of people out of the city to look for her, but we couldn’t find her.”

“It wasn’t until a few days ago that we learned Gweneth had inquired about you before she left.”

“So I guessed she might have come to your territory, and quickly brought people over.”

Cao Xing showed a look of realization.

Gweneth was indeed a member of Woodpecker Commerce.

Cao Xing did not deny it, “She is indeed in my territory.”

Upon hearing this, the merchant Jes revealed an expression that seemed to say “as expected.”

And then he breathed a sigh of relief.

“It’s good that she’s here. I truly didn’t expect that after losing her voice, this girl could cross over 500 kilometers alone and come to your territory.”

Cao Xing replied, “I also found it very incredible, so I let her stay in my territory.”

“President Jes, have you come here this time to take Gweneth back?”

The middle-aged man seemed to realize something.

He hurriedly shook his head and said, “Lord Cao Xing, please don’t misunderstand.”

“I didn’t come to take her back, I just don’t want anything to happen to her out there.”

“If she wants to stay, I certainly won’t force her to leave.”

“Since Gweneth has been depressed after losing her voice, staying in your territory to relax for a while would be quite good.”

Jes had a smile on his face.

Cao Xing nodded.

Gweneth not only had master-level singing proficiency but also her stunning appearance and talent for music.

It can be said that even if she can’t sing anymore, she’s still a rare talent.

And Jes letting Gweneth stay in his territory now was clearly an act of courtesy.

Of course, on the other hand, it was because Lord Cao Xing’s territory was strong enough.

Jes believed that Gweneth would be safer here and have better opportunities.

Meanwhile, the merchant clasped his hands and said, “Lord Cao Xing, since it’s confirmed that the girl is in your territory, I can rest assured.”

“Now I won’t disturb you any longer.”

With that, he was about to leave with his people.

But Cao Xing stopped him, “President Jes, wait a moment.”

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man turned around, looking at him with curiosity.

Cao Xing continued, “I wonder, are you interested in doing some business with me?”

Upon hearing this, he seemed to understand something, and his eyes gradually lit up.

“Do you mean the Light Feather Eggs you mentioned last time?”

Cao Xing shook his head and said, “The Light Feather Eggs aren’t ready so soon.”

“It’s only been a month since we last met. It takes at least a few months for a Light Feather Chicken to mature normally.”

Jes, listening to this, realized he had been a bit too eager and laughed awkwardly twice.

However, Cao Xing shook his head and said, “But since you’re here, I can’t let you leave empty-handed.”

Upon hearing this, merchant Jes’s eyes gradually brightened, and he tentatively asked, “You mean…”

“Take a look at this.”

After saying so, Cao Xing took out a bottle of [Refined Rum (Green)] and [Illusion Dream Demon Wine (Gold)] and handed them to him.

Merchant Jes, after receiving them, first opened the cap of the Rum, and the rich aroma immediately wafted out, even giving one a refreshing and invigorating feeling!

Instantly he praised it.

“Good wine!”

“This Rum’s quality is extremely high, even compared to other refined types on the market, it’s top-notch!”

“This is truly the most authentic Rum.”

Rum is a relatively common drink on the continent, and some adventurers and mercenaries love to have a few drinks at the tavern.

But most taverns sell ordinary Rum.

And the price gap between Refined Rum and ordinary Rum is as much as tenfold.

The main reason, of course, is that the raw ingredients for refined brewing are quite difficult to obtain.

Without tree liquid, those breweries will use other materials as substitutes.

Of course, the effect is nowhere near as good as with tree liquid.

The batch of refined Rum that Cao Xing possessed was made strictly according to the recipe.

That’s why Jes gave such high praise for this bottle of Rum.

At the same time, he opened the cap of the Illusion Dream Demon Wine.

With a unique fragrance unfolding, Jes’s pupils widened, and he exclaimed.

“This scent is… the signature brew of the Illusion Dream Tavern in Dorun Lake City, Illusion Dream Demon Wine!”

“Oh my God, after all life in that city was sacrificed, I thought this Demon Wine had become a thing of the past!”

“I didn’t expect to find this wine again in Lord Cao Xing’s territory.”

Cao Xing nodded with a smile, “I wonder if Lord Jes is interested in purchasing?”

Merchant Jes asked curiously, “Do you mean… to trade these two wines with me?”

Cao Xing nodded slightly, “If the price is fair, I’d be happy to trade with you.”

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, then said, “As for refined Rum, the market price is usually around two thousand crowns.”

“However, those are mediocre Rums, far inferior to Lord Cao Xing’s!”

“Given that, I’ll purchase your refined Rum at four thousand crowns per liter, how does that sound?”

Upon hearing this figure, Cao Xing quickly calculated.

However, he didn’t agree immediately, but continued to ask, “What about the other Demon Wine?”

Merchant Jes’s eyes showed a look of contemplation again.

“The other Illusion Dream Demon Wine…”
