Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Why are there only female slaves?”

” They all come from the Eastern Continent. The nobles from the Western Continent have a taste for this kind of exotic female slave, and the profit from transporting them is greater than ordinary slaves”.

Raymond cleared his throat and winked. “Your Excellency, You could also buy a few for yourself, even if you have no use for them, they’re still nice to look at”

He emphasized the word ‘use’.

It appeared that this big-eyed, thick-eyebrowed fatty knew about the ‘use’ of female slaves.

Although these female slaves were indeed quite beautiful and had good figures, Ji Chen was not interested in buying them.

He couldn’t possibly buy them just to have them sit around and do nothing.

The territory doesn’t need any decorations.

What he needed were people who could work. These weak female slaves could not be used for mining or logging!

Raymond noticed Ji Chen’s frown and assumed that he was concerned about the quality of the slaves. He quickly clarified, “Don’t worry, sir. These female slaves are all very innocent. Besides their appearance, each of them possesses a unique skill.”

“Oh?” Ji Chen’s curiosity was piqued.

If they had a valuable skill, he could potentially purchase them.

While there were no male slaves capable of working, female slaves with skills were also valuable assets.

“What skills do they have? Can you introduce them to me?”

“Leave it to me,” Raymond replied, patting his chest. He enthusiastically introduced each one, like a salesman.

“The female slave with particularly fair skin possesses knitting skills, while the one with big breasts has expertise in sewing…”

Ji Chen nodded in agreement as Raymond introduced each female slave. He realized that besides miners and lumberjacks, his territory also required more tailors and weavers. Raymond raised his hand, showing five fingers after introducing the last slave.

“The price for these twenty female slaves is around twenty-five Aureus gold coins each,” Raymond explained.

“However, if you take them all at once, you only need to pay 95% of the price. And since the food and water you provide are worth around 25 Aureus gold coins, you only need to pay 90% of the total price!”

Ji Chen silently nodded his head. A 10% discount was a good deal, and it meant he could purchase the twenty female slaves for 450 Aureus gold coins.

He glanced at his backpack and recalled how he had caught a substantial amount of Aureus gold coins and Kels silver coins while fishing at the beach a few days prior.

In total, he obtained 89 gold coins and 105 silver coins. Along with the 350 gold coins and 1000 silver coins gifted by Raymond yesterday, he now had a total of 439 gold coins and 1105 silver coins.

Knowing that 1105 Kels silver coins could be converted to 11.05 gold coins with a ratio of 1:100, he calculated that he had exactly enough to make the purchase.

“I’ll take all of them,” he declared without hesitation.

Raymond expressed his pleasure, “Your Excellency is really decisive…”

Before he could finish speaking, Raymond saw Ji Chen take out two wooden boxes, each containing a large pile of gold coins and silver coins.

Raymond was excited to see the shiny appearance of the coins, but he soon became stunned.

He recognized the boxes and realized that they were the ones he had sent out yesterday.

Ji Chen noticed Raymond’s expression and asked, “What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”

Raymond forced a smile and replied, “No, there’s no problem.”

The fatty wanted to cry but had no tears. In the end, he took the two boxes of coins with an aggrieved expression. This was the first time he felt like he had made a loss even though he had successfully sold the goods.

Ji Chen looked at the twenty female slaves in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.

Their skills mainly revolved around weaving and sewing, which would elevate the “clothing” standard of the territory with their participation.

They boarded the boat and returned to the shore.

Raymond looked at the female slaves beside him and said with a bow.

“Your Excellency, we will stay here for a few more days until the ship is repaired, and we will need to trouble you for some time.”

“Of course, it’s not a problem,” Ji Chen replied with a smile. “We’ve already established a friendship between us, so it’s no big deal.”

Raymond was stunned for a moment before he laughed. “That’s right, we’re already friends! ”

After a few more polite words, Ji Chen bid farewell to Raymond and headed back to his territory with his army and the newly acquired female slaves.

The sight of Ji Chen returning with twenty fair-skinned women didn’t surprise the residents too much.

After all, he had brought back Sirens and natives before.

When Wilus saw those women with shackles, he was taken aback.

“Remove their shackles and let them integrate into the territory as soon as possible. They can join the workforce,” ordered Ji Chen.

“Understood, my lord,” replied Wilus.

“Alright, go ahead.”

Ji Chen dismissed him with a wave of his hand and walked into the Lord’s Mansion to sit down and have a drink of water.

A yellow dot suddenly appeared on the Omniscient map.

He was surprised, but a hint of joy appeared on his brow.

He hurriedly walked out, and as expected, a few minutes later, an agile figure appeared at the edge of the forest.

It was the native called ‘Panther’ that he had caught and released yesterday.

Ji Chen tasked the native to communicate his intention to their leader, assuring them that if they helped him defeat the Goblin tribe, they would become part of his territory.

As he saw the native approach him again, Ji Chen couldn’t help but feel hopeful.

The native looked around fearfully at the Naga warrior guarding the area, then approached Ji Chen with a serious expression.

“Our Chief has agreed to your terms. If you really destroy the Goblin tribe, then we will swear to the Great Being and our entire tribe will submit to you!”

“Ding! Quest: [Enemies of Generations] has been activated.”

“Mission Details: Destroy the Goblin Tribe on the island.”

“Mission result: Obtain the allegiance of the native tribe. ”

A notification sounded.

Ji Chen smiled with a sense of understanding.

The Goblins on the island had no other option but to face their demise.

He was set on getting the native tribe.

However, he had only encountered the Goblins once and was still unaware of their whereabouts. As their enemies for generations, the natives might have some information that could be of use.

The native quickly replied.

“The Goblin’s nest is located in the mountains. They inhabit damp and cold caves with complex terrains and are skilled in setting traps. Many warriors of our tribe have lost their lives in their traps,” the native explained.

“In addition, the Goblins have a high fertility rate, and their population is very large. They prefer to hide in the dark and launch surprise attacks.”

After a moment of hesitation, the native continued, “They also control the passage to the Holy Mountain and have stolen the treasure of that great being. My lord, you must be cautious.”

Holy Mountain?

A Great Being?

Ji Chen was curious.

This native had already mentioned the ‘great being’ many times.

Was this native tribe’s belief in a great existence just a hollow faith, or was it something like a totem?

“Where is the Holy Mountain you mentioned? Also, what is a Great Being?”

Pointing towards the mountain peak in the northeast, the native said, “That is the Holy Mountain, where the Great Being resides.”

“According to the elders of the tribe, there is a legend that this Great Being once ruled over the island and all living creatures submitted to its power. It was said to be extremely powerful, beautiful, and even capable of killing sea beasts with ease.”

“Those Goblins often boast that they have the bloodline of that Great Being in their bodies.”

Goblin bloodline?

A frown creased Ji Chen’s forehead as he remembered the introduction of the Goblins. His heart began to quiver.

“O great dragon, I beseech you to bestow a trace of the Goblin’s bloodline!”

Damn it, that so-called Great Being couldn’t be a dragon, right?
