Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 379: The Lost Queen's Concern, the Wizard's Secret. (6000)

Under the unwilling gaze of the four swindlers, they were carried out of the tavern by the soldiers.

Soon, the tavern became quiet.

"Next, it's time to count the harvest in the backpack."

Because these indigenous people's backpacks do not have the stacking function.

So Cao Xing needed to take out the things inside and sort them out first.

He also transferred all the contents into his backpack without any hesitation.

[Obtained: Crown*372 million...]

[Obtain: Dry Food*1742]

[Get the book: The Art of Language]

[Obtained book: An Actor's Self-cultivation]

[Obtain: Swamp Witch's Pounding Stick (Gold)]

[Obtain: Swamp Witch's Frog Potion Recipe (Gold)]

[Obtain: Noble Clothing*4]

[Obtained: King's Crown of Esphis (Purple)]

[Obtained: Crown of King Esphis (Gold)]

...

"Haha, there are more than three million crowns and three golden items!"

Cao Xing was delighted.

Among them, the most special ones are naturally the mortar stick and the potion formula.

The next moment, a pitch-black stick emitting a strange glow appeared in Cao Xing's hand.

It has a strong herbal and foul smell.

It looked like this stick had crushed the flesh and herbs of many a poor soul.

Look at the properties.

[Swamp Witch's Pounding Stick (Gold)]

【Quality: Treasure】

[Equipment Level: Level 40]

[Equipment type: Special]

[Attack power: 0~1]

[Additional special effect ①: Potion amplification (increases the success rate of making potions by 20%)]

[Additional special effect ②: Evil Degeneration (releases the evil power contained in the pounding stick, causing the enemy creatures within a 10*10m range in front to degenerate by one potential. The commander degenerates the leader, the leader degenerates the leader, and so on. It can be effective for creatures within level 60 at most, lasts for 20 seconds, and has a cooldown time of 5 minutes)]

(Note: If the enemy creature's potential is normal, its attributes will be reduced by 20% instead)
(Equipment introduction: It was once a tool used by swamp witches to brew dark magic potions. It is made of twisted black wood and magic crystals that sparkle with strange light...)
...

"Oh? This second special effect, evil degeneration, is quite interesting!"

Cao Xing said happily: "Especially when used against commander-level creatures, the effect is outstanding. It can directly destroy their new skills."

"Of course, it just lasted a little short."

"But no matter what, this is also a prop that can play a role at a critical moment."

Put the stick into the backpack.

Another recipe appeared in his hand.

[Swamp Witch's Frog Potion Recipe (Gold)]

【Quality: Treasure】

[Potion effect: Throw a potion at the enemy, which will turn it into an invulnerable frog after hitting it. The duration is 10 seconds, and the cooldown time is 30 seconds.]

(Note: This potion effect is only effective against enemies up to level 80, and will be affected by abnormal resistance.)
[Materials required for refining: Advanced Alchemy Workshop, Advanced Poison Mastery, Glass Bottle, Swamp Toad, Dark Moss. ]

...

"Turning into a frog, this effect is a bit disgusting..."

"But if you're using it against an enemy, then the more disgusting it is, the better."

"It just so happens that Sabina is proficient in advanced poison techniques. This potion recipe can be used for her to make."

Cao Xing thought happily.

Of course, to make this potion, you also need two strange materials, swamp toad and dark moss.

The only way to find these things is to go to the market.

Besides.

There are more than just these two items in these scammers' backpacks.

The next moment, Cao Xing took out a gorgeous crown and a golden crown.

The main color of this crown robe is deep and luxurious purple, and the edges of the robe are embroidered with exquisite and complex patterns with golden silk thread.

The collar was high and inlaid with dazzling gems, and the shoulders were broad and straight, decorated with gorgeous golden shoulder armor.

This crown looks full of majesty and a mysterious temperament.

As for the other crown, it is made of pure gold. The texture of gold is delicate and thick, and every line has been carefully carved, smooth and elegant.

After taking a look at the attributes, Cao Xing exclaimed: "Although this set of crown clothes has no attributes, it can add 30 points of charm."

"The other crown also adds 50 points of charm."

“It looks like these are the real deal!”

These things are very valuable, and there will definitely be many nobles and royal families willing to pay high prices for them.

The backpacks of these four scammers had quite a good harvest.

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

Then he looked at the messy tables and chairs in the tavern and ordered, "Laki, clean up here. I'm leaving first."

The 15-year-old Lachie replied respectfully: "Don't worry, respected lord, I will clean up this place."

Cao Xing nodded slightly and walked out of the tavern in a happy mood.

"Not bad, not bad... I didn't expect that there would be a scammer who would actively send me money."

"Now, let's go check on the four griffins we captured during the day."

Then, he went straight to the fourth ring area of ​​the territory.

There were several huge iron cages there, and inside them were naturally the four gale griffins.

Next to them, there were several imperial soldiers in armor standing guard.

"Zee——"

The angry roar of the gale griffin could be heard from far away.

They banged against the iron cage frantically, making a series of dull noises.

However, these griffin cages were carefully made by Harold, with a large amount of mithril and eternium added to them. Needless to say, they were hard enough to trap these powerful monsters.

Cao Xing walked over.

When the imperial soldiers on guard saw him, they immediately bowed and saluted, "Respected Lord, I wish you good health."

Cao Xing nodded slightly, then asked, "What's the situation with these griffins?"

One of the imperial soldiers reported: "They are still as hot-tempered as when they were first captured."

"I haven't eaten anything all day. I've been hitting the cage all the time. My head is bleeding."

After hearing this, Cao Xing took a look and found that these griffins were indeed covered with various scars, and blood was flowing, dyeing their originally gorgeous feathers red.

Griffins are proud creatures and are very difficult to tame.

Even the expert animal trainers in the kingdom need to spend a lot of energy and time to tame a griffin.

However, there are no such talents as animal trainers in Cao Xing's territory.

It seems that we have to think of other ways to make these griffins surrender.

At this moment, the door of the blacksmith shop next door creaked open.

Two skinny little guys walked out with difficulty, dragging a huge bundle of iron chains on the ground.

Their little faces turned red and their foreheads were covered with fine beads of sweat.

The chains were very heavy, obviously beyond their strength, but the two little guys still dragged them with all their might.

At the same time, Harold appeared behind the two of them.

"Little guys, to become a blacksmith, you need not only perseverance but also a strong physique!"

"You are too weak, hold on!"

His voice was steady and powerful. It sounded like he was scolding them, but in fact he was encouraging them.

After hearing this, Saler and Bodie immediately exerted all their strength to drag the two bundles of chains even harder.

Cao Xing asked in confusion: "Harold, what are you doing?"

The dwarf blacksmith immediately laughed and said, "My Lord, although these griffin cages are strong enough, they are not very stable."

"I think these griffins won't surrender in a short time, so I made a few chains to secure the cage."

Cao Xing nodded and looked at Saler and Bodie again.

The dwarf blacksmith seemed to know what he was thinking and continued, "Don't worry, lord. I brought two eggs from bare-feathered chickens today to strengthen their physique."

"These two little guys are too skinny. Our main goal in the near future is to get them to exercise."

The two little guys next to him gritted their teeth and replied: "Dear Lord, we can definitely hold on!"

As they were talking, they had already dragged the chain to the side of the griffin cage and began to prepare to secure it.

Cao Xing nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions.

After all, this is Harold's apprentice, and he has his own way of training.

Harold said at this time: "By the way, Lord, you are just in time."

"In addition to making the griffin cage today, I also made the pair of boxing gloves you needed."

“The quality should be good, you can go and have a look.”

After hearing this, Cao Xing immediately became interested.

It just so happens that Victoria doesn’t have any weapons yet.

"Well done, I'll go check it out."

So he went straight into the blacksmith shop and came to the storage box area.

As soon as I opened it, I saw a pair of carefully made gloves. The surface was made of saber-toothed tiger leather with delicate and clear texture.

The color of the gloves is deep and shiny, exuding an ancient and powerful aura.

The joints are inlaid with solid metal sheets, which not only increase the sturdiness of the gloves, but also give them a cool texture.

"This pair of boxing gloves looks pretty good."

Cao Xing put it away directly.

[Obtain: Wild Tiger Roar Boxing Gloves (Gold)]

Look at the properties.

【Tiger Roar Boxing Gloves (Gold)】

【Quality: Treasure】

[Equipment Level: Level 40]

[Attack power: 893~956]

[Additional special effects ①: Spirit +150, Constitution +150, Skill casting speed +20%]

[Additional special effect ②: Tiger King Power (When launching a melee attack, there is a 100% chance to increase power by 30%)]

[Additional special effect ③: Wild Tiger Roar (When activating the skill, there is a 45% chance to draw out the power contained in the gloves, emitting a deafening roar, causing enemies within 20 meters with a mental strength lower than 2000 to fall into a state of shock for 1 to 3 seconds. Cooldown time: 45 seconds)]

(Equipment introduction: It is made from the most precious piece of leather from the saber-toothed tiger leader. When the skill is released, you can faintly hear the roar of the tiger. It was forged by the expert blacksmith Harold Iceberg.)
...

"The properties of this pair of gloves are quite strong."

"The second special effect can give Victoria excellent melee ability, and the third special effect can even have a control effect."

"Not bad."

With a satisfied look, Cao Xing put it into his backpack.

Then he left the blacksmith shop.

"Next, go find Victoria and give her this pair of gloves."

"By the way, let me ask you about the secret of that wizard."

Cao Xing has not forgotten that a powerful wizard is hunting down the queen because Victoria knows the wizard's secret.

I happen to be free now, so I can go over and ask her.

As he was thinking, he had already arrived at the door of Victoria's room.

Since becoming a core fighter, Victoria has also received corresponding treatment, a small private room.

Of course, it is just a level 1 residential building, it does not occupy a large area and is easy to build.

Come to think of it, this was his first time coming to this woman's residence.

Victoria doesn't talk much on weekdays, and her face is cold and majestic.

The powerful aura she exuded made other people in the territory reluctant to get close to her.

In this territory, Victoria basically keeps to herself.

At this moment, Cao Xing was inexplicably nervous.

"Cough-cough-"

After coughing twice, Cao Xing encouraged himself: "I'm here to discuss business, not to steal. Why should I be nervous?"

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and knocked on the wooden door.

"Boom! Boom!"

There was a knock on the door.

After a while, the sound of footsteps was heard from inside.

The door slowly opened, and a face with a hint of doubt and majesty appeared in front of Cao Xing.

It was a delicate and cold face, with eyebrows like distant ink and eyes like cold stars.

Under the high nose bridge, her lips were tightly pursed, revealing an inviolable majesty and a bit of mature charm.

She raised her chin slightly and stared at the figure at the door.

After seeing the figure at the door, the expression on the face of this cold and beautiful woman relaxed.

She bowed and said, "Greetings, sir."

Cao Xing nodded, then asked, "Is it not disturbing you?"

Victoria shook her head slightly, then: "No."

"My Lord, you came to see me because..."

"About the secret of the wizard you mentioned last time." Cao Xing didn't say anything more and went straight to the point.

Victoria frowned slightly and fell into thought.

After a moment, she seemed to have made a decision, "Please come in, sir."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and entered the room.

Cao Xing followed behind her.

Victoria's manners were dignified and elegant, even her walking pace was different from other women. It was a kind of nobility engraved in her bones.

From Cao Xing's perspective, he could see Victoria's back. Her brown hair fell on her slender back like a waterfall, and her tight-fitting plain pajamas wrapped around her mature and perfect body.

Viewed from behind, the slender waist is not even as thin as a hand, but it forms a very impactful contrast with the full and perky buttocks.

Under the flickering candlelight, her back was sometimes bright and sometimes hazy.

You can even see the fair skin vaguely visible, and the outline of the small underwear seems to be invisible under the cover of the pajamas.

Because of its small size, it could not cover her round and full buttocks, and even made them show an attractive curve.

People's eyes are attracted involuntarily and their heartbeats speed up unconsciously.

Cao Xing thought to himself, "Won't it be uncomfortable for her to wear such small underwear?"

"It seems that I can ask Xia Yanni to make a bigger size later."

"Well...just according to her size..."

Victoria's room is decorated in a very simple style.

A big bed with a thick quilt.

Next to it are two quaint wooden tables and chairs.

A pot of hot water was boiling on the stove, making a gurgling sound, adding a breath of life to this quiet room.

She leaned slightly to the side and said softly, "Sit down."

As if she had thought of something, Victoria quickly changed her words and said, "Sir, please sit down."

There was a hint of respect and some discomfort in her tone.

Cao Xing smiled, didn't care, and sat down directly.

Victoria sat opposite him gracefully.

This woman's sitting posture is extremely standard.

She held her head high, her chest puffed out, her legs perfectly together, and her hands folded on her plump thighs.

As the fire flickered, her eyes still held a deep tranquility.

The elegance and dignity in her bones still exude a unique charm.

Then, she opened her red lips and said, "This wizard is called Adrian. I don't know much about his strength, but he is at least above level seven."

"It's very likely that he is a hero-level warrior!"

"He once performed a forbidden spell that directly enveloped the entire royal city."

"Under the influence of that witchcraft, the strength of all of us has been greatly weakened."

Hearing this, a glimmer appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

"Is he actually a hero-level expert?"

By now, he also knew how powerful a hero-level warrior was.

That is enough power to destroy a city.

Of course, not all heroic warriors are that powerful.

As Victoria said, a witchcraft covered the whole city, so it was probably at least a commander-level existence.

"Yes."

The queen straightened her back and continued, "And I accidentally saw the wizard's right hand."

"There is a special mark on the back of this person's right hand. It is the slave mark of the Renova Kingdom."

"This mark is very special. Once it is made, it is directly imprinted in the flesh and blood and cannot be removed at all."

"Later, I investigated and found that this person's appearance was very similar to that of a prisoner in the Black Reef Prison in our Renoir Kingdom."

"However, more than 20 years ago, there was a riot in Black Rock Prison, and many prisoners inside disappeared without a trace. I suspect that he escaped at that time."

Cao Xing was immediately puzzled after hearing this: "You mean, this wizard was once a slave of your Renova Kingdom."

"Then he escaped and took revenge on your kingdom?"

Victoria nodded her head. "Probably."

A thoughtful gleam appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

He asked again: "But, he wouldn't chase you for so long just for this secret, right?"

The exquisite and cold beauty in front of him spoke again: "You are right, he is chasing me for two reasons."

"First, he is now a wizard of the Kingdom of Ostia, holding a distinguished position. No one has ever known that he was once a slave."

"If this matter gets out, it will cause a serious blow to his reputation and prestige."

"Second, I later secretly investigated this person's files and found out that he was imprisoned because he was discovered studying black magic."

"Dark magic is an extremely evil and harmful force. The entire Western Continent does not allow evil forces to appear."

"Once someone is found using this power, a large number of strong men will take action to encircle and suppress them!"

"I suspect that the reason this wizard was able to possess heroic-level power in such a short period of time is because he learned the dark arts."

Victoria spoke word by word.

A thoughtful look appeared in Cao Xing's eyes again.

"Then why don't you spread the news that this wizard is learning the dark arts and let other strong people deal with him?"

A bitter smile appeared on Victoria's bright lips. "Because, the fact that he studies black magic is just my inference. There is no definite evidence."

"Adrian is already a high-ranking official in the Kingdom of Ostia, and he himself is also a powerful hero."

"Without clear evidence, who would risk offending an entire kingdom and attack him?"

"Moreover, the king probably knew in his heart that Adrian had borrowed the power of black magic, but for the sake of the country's status and reputation, he chose to protect this wizard."

Cao Xing nodded.

No wonder that wizard wanted to hunt down Victoria.

As long as he killed her, the entire Renoir Kingdom would be destroyed, and no one would know that he had once been a slave.

Moreover, no one could accuse him of learning the dark arts.

Although Victoria is the queen, she is only at the fifth level.

Facing a heroic warrior, it is already very good to be alive until now.

Cao Xing comforted him: "Don't be nervous, the wizard hasn't discovered you yet anyway."

"You must believe that it won't be long before our territory will have a force that is fearless and heroic."

Hearing this, the tension on the face of the cold and beautiful woman in front of him gradually dissipated, and a gentle smile appeared instead.

"Well, I believe you."

"You are a lord worth relying on..."

The last sentence seemed to make her feel a little unnatural.

Cao Xing smiled.

At the same time, he couldn't help but turn his thoughts to the seriously injured dragon speaker in the basement of his territory.

She is also a hero-level warrior. If she can wake up, Cao Xing's territory will become much stronger.

Of course, she can only take action when it is absolutely necessary.

After all, the Dragon Speakers have enemies too.

As for who her enemy is, we can only ask her after she wakes up.

He shook his head, clearing his mind of these thoughts.

Then he took out the pair of gloves from his backpack and placed them on the table in front of him.

Victoria took it with a puzzled look, "This is..."

Cao Xing said: "Didn't you say last time that you would need a pair of boxing gloves when you fight? This is for you."

Victoria's face showed a trace of surprise and she stood there in a daze.

Cao Xing saw her expression and thought she didn't like it, so he asked, "What's wrong? When you were the queen, you received too many gifts. Do you think you don't like this pair of gloves?"

Hearing this, the beauty in front of him quickly shook her head.

"No...that's not the case..."

"This is the most precious gift I have received in recent years. I like it very much."

"Thank you……"

[Thanks to your generous gift, Victoria Santa Cruz's loyalty has been increased. Current loyalty: 95...]

...

A smile also appeared on Cao Xing's face. The loyalty of this queen of a fallen country was almost full.

Victoria held the pair of gloves in her arms as if they were treasures, a gentle smile appearing on her face.

This was the first time Cao Xing saw her so happy.

The smile on the queen's face is so charming that people can't help but be intoxicated by it.

Facing Cao Xing's direct gaze, Victoria seemed a little unnatural.

She pressed her legs closer together.

"What's wrong, sir?" Victoria couldn't help but ask softly.

Cao Xing shook his head, "Nothing."

"I just think there's an outfit that would suit you very well."
