Section 11 Trading
Section 11 Buying and Selling
For women, every man has different preferences. Some people like long legs, some people like petite, some people like round faces, some people like long faces, some people like plumpness, and some people like slender... It can be said that as many men in this world have as many preferences as there are.
The Blood Duke naturally has a hobby - it's nothing strange. Vampires have also been transformed from humans, and their aesthetic concepts are naturally consistent with humans. As for what type of Duke of Blood, it is actually very easy. Anyone can enter the Dark Castle and look at the appearance of the women living in the castle, and you can know that there is an eight/nine-nine-to-one.
Rosa has been to Dark Castle, and more than once, so he naturally knows what types of Duke of Blood prefers.
Rosa was originally conducting a patrol - that normal patrol for the purpose of maintaining territorial security. Over the past period of time, there have been more and more merchants on this trade route, and the prosperity of his territory has also increased, and there are too many people coming and going every day.
The reason for such a benign transformation was due to the Turan people - because they had a war with the Elf Empire. The war cut off the original Turan people and the Elf trade, allowing humans to import elves products, which was Sivania under the control of the Blood Duke. Stimulated by high profits, the merchants entered Sivania desperately along the road, bringing a lot of catering, accommodation and other businesses. Although Ryan has not yet fully recovered from the Civil War, he tried his best to maintain the safety of the main traffic routes - because they also benefited a lot from it. This benefit is something that the Ryan people who were poor due to the Civil War cannot ignore.
In short, under the influence of these factors, the entire Sivania seemed to be more prosperous. The territory of the Rosa Knights also developed greatly. At that time, the Purple Stone was originally the decisive battle between the Immortal Legion of the Blood Duke and the Ryan Army. It was once an uninhabited grassland. But now, it has become so prosperous that it is not even inferior to the North City of Mir. If you have any flaws, it is still a market town, that is, there are no walls.
Of course, then again, this has no effect on the Knights of Rosa.
The so-called patrol is actually very simple, it is to take a team of armed soldiers around their territory. Thieves with a little bit of eyes know that it is best to put their hands in their pockets at this time, otherwise they may risk their lives. Stealing a few small money in a place where the lord is not as good as stealing under the lord’s nose are two completely different concepts. The former is the worst, but it is beaten by the owner, and the latter is very likely to be executed on the spot.
Rosa was dressed in a well-decorated manner and sat on the horse's back and waved across the market. Then he saw a carriage driving into his territory.
There was nothing worth noting about a carriage, but this carriage was a luxury that could be seen at a glance - although it was dusty, its structure and shape meant that the car came from the northern country. And its exterior decoration and the horse pulling the carriage mean that its owner was a rich man, and it was not the kind of ordinary rich. Even in Sivania, I have never seen such a luxurious car.
The bodyguard looked tall and thin - but it didn't give people the feeling of being thin at all. On the contrary, his aura was like a sword, sharp and dangerous. He was wearing a leather armor, a helmet, and a long sword on his waist. His helmet was of the half-open face type, and the protective armor covered most of his face, making it impossible to tell what he looked like. But Rosa was once a mercenary after all, so he could tell based on a sense of intuition that the bodyguard in front of him was probably the kind of warrior who had really experienced battles and had blood on his hands. Moreover, it was still a very strong one.
Rosa stopped and the two looked at each other in silence for a few seconds. Although Rosa was crowded with people, the bodyguard had no intention of regressing at all.
"I am the local lord," Rosa finally spoke. "I want to meet your master."
"Sorry, I'm afraid it's our first time here." The bodyguard said. "Is there anything wrong?"
"Just just now I saw a maid... a young maid coming out of the car and going to buy food." Rosa said. "If I can, I want to be able to buy her." He tried his best to make his voice sound sincere.
The bodyguard was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't understand what he meant for a moment. But he finally understood. "Sorry, this... that one... cannot be sold."
"You may not understand," Rosa reminded, "in Sivania, slavery is legal. And there are no troublesome rules and regulations. The master has the right to buy and sell their slaves."
"But she is not a slave."
"The maid is similar to a female slave," Rosa was a little impatient. He was originally a mercenary and had little patience. "Anyway, I hope to buy her, just now. I will give her to the Blood Duke. I can pay..."
"Sorry, I'm afraid it can't be sold." The bodyguard forced back. "She is not a slave, nor will she be in the future."
"Five hundred gold Olis," said Rosa. "The price can be discussed again."
"Feel sorry."
"I want to talk to your master." Rosa wanted to bypass the bodyguard, but the latter took a step to the side and continued to stand in front of him.
"Sorry." The bodyguard replied. "I'm afraid I have the right to answer on my behalf."
Rosa frowned. He didn't want to miss such an opportunity. It was okay here in Purple Stone. If you go to Sivania, you might be very difficult to have such an opportunity. Whether it is Via, Istria, Meno or New City, the love of the Blood Duke has long been well known. Such female slaves that meet the duke's taste are extremely expensive, and what's worse is that they have no market value at all.
Anyway, this is Rosa's territory - he is the lord here. If normal means cannot achieve the goal, he doesn't mind using some abnormal means.
"I just said it," said Rosa. "I am the lord of here - the purple stone." He deliberately emphasized the word "lord". "The ruler here." He suggested. As a lord, it means that he is the enforcer of local laws. Anyone with a little brain understands that it is unwise to go against him on the territory of a lord, because he has the right to arrest people - even if he has no evidence, he can use the reason "doubt that you have something to do with a certain crime" to get you into prison. All this is still legal.
"Lord? It should... not be within the control of the Kingdom of Ryan..."
Sure enough, he was a fool who knew nothing. "Sorry, it was not King Ryan who was loyal to me, but Lord Blood Duke." Rosa replied proudly. "I am the knight he canonized, and enforce his laws." He narrowed his eyes and waited for the other party's answer. It would be fine if the other party compromised, Rosa would not mind bargaining. But if he really didn't eat it, then Rosa would also let the other party understand the power he had as a lord.
As for resisting with force - he was not worried about this at all. Don't mention dozens of fully armed soldiers around him. Even if this bodyguard is really a brave warrior, he can't escape from the sky. Although to the eyes of an outsider who is unaware of the situation, the purple stone is the outermost periphery of the Blood Duke. But those who really understand Ryan understand that now, all the places in the southern part of Ryan have become the sphere of influence of vampires. If all the lords, governors and others in the southern part of Ryan have not secretly swear allegiance to the Blood Duke, he will be quickly killed by a group of bandits, defeated soldiers, robbers and other militants. Even those lords with strong strength are no exception.
The battle where Rosa made military achievements and was named a knight is a typical example. The lord who resolutely resisted the vampire seemed to be a marquis or something, and eventually the whole family joined the vampire's Immortal Legion.
The other party still didn't respond for a long time.
