Besides, if Luo De indulges, he will definitely come up with something interesting.

By then, others will surely covet it, so it's better to make arrangements early.

Man Xiu nodded, understanding Luo De's concerns.

After all, this is the Northern Wasteland, a frontier land rampant with robber alien races, where danger lurks everywhere.

Man Xiu took a sip of hot tea.

The warmth of the kang bed was no longer cold on his body.

He took off his thick cotton coat and said to Luo De:

"By the way, Lord Baron, I saw some strange figures in your territory."

"They are the legendary alien race, right?"

Luo De nodded, "Yes, they are."

"Are they your subjects?"

Man Xiu asked curiously, his eyes sparkling with expectation,

"Please don't misunderstand my intentions, I don't mean to harm your subjects."

"I'm just saying if they are your slaves, you can definitely sell them for money."

"To be honest, aliens are very valuable in the noble circles; they like to keep such pets."

"One is worth about ten laborers."

Man Xiu rubbed his hands, a merchant's smile appearing on his face,

"Of course, these pet slaves are quite rare, you only need to sell four or five at a time."

"No, I can't sell them, no matter how high the price."

Luo De shook his head, refusing Man Xiu's proposal.

"They are my subjects, I promised to protect them, that's why they are willing to live here and work for me."

"Yes, I understand."

Man Xiu nodded.

Luo De's straightforward refusal left him with no further questions.

He understood this baron, where a yes means yes, and a no means no.

"However, I did catch some unruly aliens."

Luo De's words instantly caught Man Xiu's attention, his eyes fixed on Luo De.

"You can buy them if your offer is right." Luo De continued.

"That's great!"

Man Xiu's eyes were full of anticipation, "Shall we go see them now?"

"Of course."

Luo De stood up first, advising, "Put on your fur coat, don't catch a cold."

...

...

The two soon reached the prison.

"That's them."

Luo De pointed to the Lizardmen held inside.

The once fierce-looking Lizardmen appeared dispirited, emaciated to the bone.

Because Luo De only gave them one meal a day.

Luo De was generous to his subordinates, but frugal with his enemies.

The food for these Lizardmen was just leftovers, enough to keep them from starving.

Upon seeing these Lizardmen, Man Xiu's eyes lit up.

He didn't care if they were thin; as long as they were exotic and sellable, it was fine.

"Lord Baron, can you sell all of these aliens to me?"

Man Xiu asked excitedly, leaning in to get a closer look.

The moment he spoke, a Lizardman lunged at Man Xiu.

The sharp claws sliced through the air, scaring Man Xiu pale and weak-kneed.

Just as the claws neared him, Man Xiu felt a sudden force behind him.

He was forcibly pulled away from the bars, dodging the claws.

The Lizardman pounced in vain, hitting the bars instead.

"Be careful, these Lizardmen are vicious."

Luo De let go of Man Xiu, setting him down.

The one who pulled Man Xiu back was naturally Luo De behind him.

With such ferocious Lizardmen, a price had to be paid.

"Teach him a lesson."

Luo De instructed the guard next to him.

"Yes, Lord."

The soldier responded respectfully, immediately opening the cell to drag out the Lizardman who attacked earlier, tying it to a rack.

A spiked stick whistled through the air, and the Lizardman's wails echoed through the prison.

Luo De disliked such noisy sounds, having the soldiers gag the Lizardman.

Then, Luo De turned to Man Xiu and said:

"There are a total of thirteen Lizardmen here, all can be sold to you."

"There used to be more, but due to improper care, they committed suicide."

"But I also have some Mixed Bloods that look quite unique, you can buy them if you want."

"Great, great!"

Man Xiu nodded repeatedly, rubbing his hands in excitement.

"Let's discuss the price then... How much are you willing to sell one for?"

Man Xiu asked.

Luo De did not answer, instead asking, "Why don't you give me a price first?"

Man Xiu thought for a moment.

"How about twenty-five gold coins each?"

Luo De was slightly surprised internally.

Baron Blom indeed did not deceive him.

The price of these aliens was indeed not cheap.

However, Luo De did not agree, instead shaking his head.

"Your twenty-five gold coins is the price for a Lizardman's corpse, not a live one."

"If you offer that price, I might as well have killed them all and frozen them, saving food."

"Do you have more Lizardman corpses?"

Man Xiu asked excitedly, reaching for his money pouch at his waist.

It seemed he didn't bring enough gold coins this time,

"Then..."

Before Man Xiu could finish, a guard hurried over.

"Lord, Gala reports another large caravan has arrived."

"Oh?"

Luo De was instantly curious.

The caravans coming to Frost Leaf Town are usually the same few, it seems this time, it's an old acquaintance again.
