Chapter Seventy-Six: The Cat Man Girl
The compartment was clean, at least it didn't look like it had the hygiene concerns that Linko was worried about.
It wasn't until this time that he realized that he had a little bit of cleanliness.
The overall design of the compartment is close to the Western-style design on the earth, resplendent and wealthy, and it doesn't look like the style of a bar, but like a high-end club, but Lin Ke doesn't like this style.
Ordered some wine and food, it was not cheap, but at least the little girl was wrong, this is a place to eat seriously, although there are still some girls in the hall dancing and singing by themselves, but Lin Ke and the others are indeed eating seriously, and there are other people besides Fias.
So, except for Fias and the two old men, everyone who came to see the bar street couldn't help but feel that the bar that made many people obsessed with it was nothing more than that.
Until the arrival of the Orc Catwoman.
She was brought by the middle-aged woman who had led the way for Lin Ke and the others before.
Catwoman is not the same as a leopard like Neil, they have a face that resembles a human, but the eyes are huge, round like a crystal clear glass bead, there are a few more cute cat mustaches on the cheeks, the light fluff on the body is a little more, and the slender tail behind her that swings uneasily with mood swings is the most prominent feature that distinguishes her from humans.
"Guests, maybe it's not the first time you've seen orcs, who made our God of War Empire can't help orcs, but I'm afraid many cat people really haven't seen them, right?" Because of its large number, the cat people also belong to a large race in the orc empire, and the living area is relatively close to the core area of the orc empire, except for the famous cat people who walk in the dark, there are very few who can really be captured by the slave team, remove the individual dangerous and male roles, and the weak cat people who can be used to entertain guests are rare, even if they search the entire blue and white city, they may not be able to see one, use the cat people to entertain guests, this can be regarded as the only situation in our family! β
Lin Ke felt a little disgusted, and the middle-aged woman's laughter reminded him of the hen hatching eggs in the chicken nest.
By this time, Neil's heart was much calmer, and he could feel her horror as he stared at the little cat-man girl whose frightened eyes were wandering around and her hands and feet were a little overwhelmed.
Cher and Lilith also couldn't bear it, and putting a little cat-man girl who didn't have any ability to protect herself in the bar street of Blue and White City was like throwing a weak and slender Terran girl into the gladiatorial arena of the Orc Empire, the kind of despair and helplessness, the kind of loneliness and fear, which made people feel distressed.
"You use her to entertain guests?" Fias said with a slight frown as he looked at the cat-man girl's immature appearance.
"This young master, look at what you said, didn't our family spend a lot of money to buy her back from the slave hunting team just to let her entertain guests," the middle-aged woman rolled her eyes and said, "Young master, don't you have the meaning of pity and cherish the jade, and want to take this little girl of different races back?" That is really her blessing!"
Fias pursed his lips disdainfully and turned his head to continue entertaining the Terran girls around him, in the eyes of most people in this world, it is still a very rebellious thing to have feelings with aliens, whether it is an orc or an elf.
"Such a rare cat man must have cost you a lot of money to buy it, right?" Lin Ke smiled and walked over to the cat man girl and said to the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman was stunned for a moment, and then said meaningfully, "No, the slave hunting team took a lot of effort and great risk to get it, do you think they can sell it to me cheaply? β
"Tsk," Lin Ke glanced at the little cat girl regretfully and said, "That's a pity, since those slave hunters finally captured this cat girl by entering the core area of the Orc Empire, then it should be sky-high, I thought they just happened to encounter such a prey and brought it back," Lin Ke glanced at the middle-aged woman with a smile and said, "But looking at your previous appearance, this cat girl doesn't seem to be very popular in our God of War Empire, aren't you a big loss?"
The middle-aged woman covered her mouth and let out a string of old hen-like laughter before saying, "It's really hard to say whether it's a loss or not, after all, this unique gimmick is also a signboard to set up. β
"Although the God of War Empire can't ban orcs, the orcs who can swagger around the bar streets within the empire and spend a lot of money will not be ordinary orcs," Lin Ke said meaningfully, "As far as I know, most of the orcs have a fierce temperament, and the famous cat-man assassins on the mainland are even more retributive, I think there is no richer place in this large bar street than your family, but they didn't spend a little money to buy this little cat woman, and it is also a big reason that they don't want to cause possible trouble, after all, business is not good, don't you say?"
The middle-aged woman's expression was stunned, and her smile was not as free and easy as before, among the major professions in the continent, except for a few extremely rare special professions and encountering marksmen in specific terrain, the most feared profession was the assassin, and the thin catmen in the orc empire had the largest assassin group in the whole continent.
Linko returned to the table and picked up a glass of red wine.
This world may be because the ecological environment is far better than the earth, or maybe it is because of the abundance of energy, whether it is vegetables or fruits, it is much more delicious than the earth, and red wine is no exception.
Lin Ke elegantly pinched the pillar of the goblet with his fingers and shook it gently, the wine was brown, squinted and brought the wine glass close to his lips and sniffed it gently, and then took a sip before looking at the middle-aged woman who was a little hesitant and said, " I think the forces behind this bar are not ordinary, I observed the terrain before I came in, this is not the most prosperous point, but it is in the place where the crowd is most likely to watch, the front street is full of traffic, the back street is cold and peaceful, the person who chose this place is really a good vision and a good means, but he probably won't be willing to choose the cat people as his opponent, or, this little girl of the cat people was bought by yourself?"
The middle-aged woman glanced at Lin Ke in shock and said with a dry laugh, "This young master has such a powerful mouth," she waved her hand and motioned for a maid behind her to take the cat-man girl away before smiling and continuing, "I want to thank you for the reminder, then it will not be wrong for me to return this little catwoman to the orc empire safely." I don't know why you have a crush on this little cat woman, but you're sure you can handle the cat people?"
Lin Ke smiled slightly, "You don't have to worry about this, it's just that your cat human girl's signboard has probably been played for some time, I don't know how many people are waiting to see the joke, and then suddenly send it back, not to mention whether some other people with a heart will do it, even if you really send it back after a lot of hardships, you will definitely be able to end up?" He paced in front of the middle-aged woman, after all, the other party was a person who was used to seeing the scene of buying and selling, although he was not flustered," In my opinion, it would be a good idea for the little cat woman to be ransomed by a caravan passing through the imperial capital on its way to the imperial capital. β
The middle-aged woman glanced at Lin Ke in surprise and was still a little hesitant.
"I think you really didn't spend a lot of money to buy this little cat girl," Lin Ke seemed random, but a pair of eyes were always aimed at the middle-aged woman's face, and no slight change in expression could escape his sight, "Regardless of whether there is a market for this little cat woman itself, I'm afraid this rarity alone can really fetch a sky-high price, do you really think there is no shadow of anyone behind this matter?!"
The middle-aged woman was shocked, and smiled a few times without a trace, "It seems that the young master really takes a fancy to this little cat girl, not to mention anything else, we can't discourage your interest when we open the door to do business, but the price is ...... You know, I bought her for thirty gold coins, which is not a high price in the slave market. β
Linko was silent for a moment, he had received information from Cohen's memory about places like the slave trading market.
This is a strange world, the multi-racial pattern is destined for non-stop war, and war consumes wealth and competes for interests at the same time also creates a cruel prisoner of war slave system, especially in different races, prisoners of war between the same race have a great chance of becoming servants, and foreign prisoners of war will almost always be divided into slave classes, and no matter in which country, slaves basically have no human rights.
The slave trading market is a special market that is available in slightly larger cities, both Windy City and Willow City, but Cohen rarely goes there, but he knows some price quotes, for example, the price of a healthy and sturdy male slave is about one gold coin, the price of a good-looking female slave ranges from five hundred silver coins to five gold coins, and the price of some rare alien races fluctuates a little, depending on the specific situation, it is possible to reach hundreds of gold coins, such as extremely rare elves, of course, this kind of special slave will not be auctioned in publicγ
The middle-aged woman said that she bought the little cat woman at a high price of thirty gold coins in the slave trading market, maybe she had some water, but she didn't have a lion's mouth, and it was a relatively sincere price, although thirty gold coins was already a sky-high price in the eyes of ordinary civilians, but it was not a lot of money for the nobles who had a relatively small number of total wealth and a huge proportion of total wealth.
"Thirty gold coins," Eller, who had been eating silently and bowing his head to eat, suddenly raised his head and said in a loud voice.
Lin Ke was stunned, and then glanced at Neil clearly.
Neil was also stunned, then silently looked at the middle-aged man who had taken off his cloak and hat, and finally chose to nod.
Eller gave Neil a rare smile, then threw a money bag at the middle-aged woman who was still embarrassed, and said, "I only have thirty gold coins, all for you." β
The middle-aged woman smiled as soon as she grasped the money bag, and no longer had the slightest embarrassment before, she happily bowed to Eller and waved her hand, "This guest is really atmospheric, we can't be stingy in the store, so let's go to me for today's meal money!"
Fias smiled mockingly, how much silver is this meal worth?
The old man, who had been silent all the time, turned his cloudy old eyes around Eller and Neil, and finally cast his gaze on Linko, thoughtful.
Lin Ke smiled and patted Neil on the shoulder, the two have a heart-to-heart connection, and some things can be known without asking.
Neil smiled back, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
