Chapter 33 - Ultimate Gong-kun, Don’t Bless Me Too Much!
The Goblins’ trading market was situated at the northern border of the Dwarven territory. It was initially a forest. At first, Goblins had to scale mountains and ford streams to trade with the Dwarves. Since then, the place went through earth-shattering changes.
The Goblins had always kept a low profile but everyone could imagine how rich they were. They always relied on their outstanding business sense and strong ability to protect themselves to safely deal with all races. After they started trading with the Dwarves, this forest had been continuously expanding until it eventually became this large trading market renowned in Yalance.
This trading market was known as Benesse City, named after the first goblin who traded with the Dwarves long ago. To commemorate this historically significant first transaction, the built city was named after him.
Although the Dwarven territory was right next to Benesse, they must traverse a vast distance to cross the entire territory. If they walked, it might take them seven or eight days to reach the market.
Therefore, they would need to ride a mount to go to Benesse.
In Yalance, horses were the most commonly used mount. However, most of the people who had the status and capability would buy tamed ferocious beasts as mounts. The first reason was that they were of high quality. Secondly, they could also protect their owners. Of course, another one of the reasons was that they would be more eye-catching than horses.
Bird-type ferocious beasts that are capable of flying were the most sought-after mounts of the highest grade.
They could fly at high altitudes and see far ahead. They could even throw out magic spells. Such a tamed ferocious beast was considered as the “Ferrari” of mounts.
The relationship between the master and the tamed ferocious beast was usually maintained by a contract. Under these circumstances, they would be called tamed beasts. They were like an animal that has no fangs hence the word ‘ferocious’ would not be applicable to them anymore.
Moreover, it was difficult to arrange a place to keep them due to their huge physique. Hence, more astute Tamers specially came up with a restraining contract. The ferocious beasts’ size would shrink upon the request of their owner, resembling the appearance of a cub. The best tamed beasts could both adorably sell meng and look eye-catchingly impressive. As such, they were the best choice to hook-up with someone whether one is at home or out travelling.
Therefore, just as Samael and Suo Fei were about to leave for Benesse City, the three dwarves of the Eugene family expectantly turned their gazes towards the yawning little cub that had eaten to its heart’s content.
Little cub: What are you guys trying to do, looking at me like that?!
Suo Fei immediately realised what they were thinking. He looked at the small cub that was only as big as two palms and stated, “It’s not a mount.”
Jonah was surprised for a moment before disappointedly asking, “It isn’t?”
Little cub: Stupid dwarf! You actually thought that this divine beast is that sort of inferior ferocious beast! I’m a divine beast but, f**k, this divine beast will not tell you!
Evelyn looked at the little cub and asked, “What’s the use of it? Is it a protector beast?”
Suo Fei recalled that ever since he met the little cub, he speculated it several times, desperately wanting to discover its skills. Unfortunately, until now, it had disclosed nothing apart from being able to eat a lot.
However, Suo Fei refused to lose even if his cub was lacking. So, he thickened his face and praised it, “He is clever, cute and has smooth fur.”
Evelyn, who had been devotedly sharp-tongued for the past hundred years, added: “Also a glutton, a sloth and a loudmouth.”
Suo Fei couldn’t refute.
However, Suo Fei patted the little cub’s head and smilingly spoke, “He has saved me numerous times and I’m very grateful to him no matter what.”
Evelyn did not refute him anymore.
Little cub: QAQ, you... you fouled.
Speaking of mounts, Suo Fei looked at Samael. He had cleared the entire game but Samael had never adopted any cute pets, even more so a mount. Although he was surrounded by many lil’ shous who would always sell meng to him, but a shou is not a beast. From a business perspective, the game developers should have given him one or two that can adorably sell meng.
However, the ultimate gong didn’t have any from start to finish.
In the end, Eugene generously lent his own domesticated beast, a Three-headed Hound. Its appearance could be deduced from its name. As its name implied, it had a very fierce appearance even when it is in its cub form. It was absolutely a manly man’s mount whose cuteness level is at a negative value. However, Eugene loved it to the bottom of his heart and felt extremely reluctant to let it go out.
It was apparent that Jonah had long coveted the mount as he looked at the three-headed dog with sparkling eyes. On the other hand, Evelyn frowned and stopped him, “Grandpa, you should let Sansan stay at home, it is your protector beast.”
The meaning of this sentence was obvious: the dwarf was worried about his grandpa’s safety. The slow-witted Jonah also realised it in hindsight.
Instead, Eugene waved his hand dismissively, “Does it really matter? I’m in the Dwarven territory. If I don’t go out, who can mess with me?” With this, he activated the Three-headed Hound.
What he said was right thus Evelyn and Jonah no longer insisted. Eugene would be safe as long as he did not leave the Dwarven territory hence they need not worry too much.
The two dwarves excitedly climbed onto the Three-headed Hound and hurriedly asked Suo Fei to climb up. Suo Fei was just about to climb up when Samael grabbed his wrist.
Suo Fei confusedly turned to look at him.
Samael did not return his gaze but instead said to the dwarves, “You guys go ahead. Let’s meet up outside the gate of Benesse City.”
Suo Fei was confused. If the dwarves left together with the Three-headed Hound, they would not have a mount. So, how could they get there?
Jonah also thought of this problem. He was just about to ask when Evelyn interrupted him with an affirmation, “Okay, see you at the gate.” With that, he prompted the Three-hounded Hound and departed.
Suo Fei was stunned. He wouldn’t actually let me walk all the way, would he? Bro, his legs would break if he actually walked okay?
“Come, let’s also head out.” Samael said to Suo Fei.
Suo Fei truly had no choice. The mount already ran away. It was virtually impossible if he wanted not to go on foot. Sigh, I’m so miserab–E-eh? Eh?!
Suo Fei surprisingly felt something light wrap around his waist, then his feet were lifted off the ground. The next moment, Samael lifted his entire body by the waist.
Suo Fei felt weak. What is up with this situation?
Samael looked down at him and whispered, “Don’t move.”
Suo Fei also wanted to say something but unfortunately lost the chance.
Samael held him and began moving upwards.
This scene is so f**king familiar. Ahhhh! In the Knuhl Forest, in order to avoid the miasma, wasn’t he also princess-carried?
But at that time, there were only two of them in the forest. No one else saw them. Even if he was princess-carried, it wasdaijoubu. But they are in the Dwarven territory now! It’s extremely freaking embarrassing, okay!
At this instant, Suo Fei immediately realised why Samael didn’t have a mount. He didn’t need one at all, okay. What mount could compare to him?
Furthermore, in a BL game, Samael moving at breakneck speed while princess-carrying a lil’ shous was simply a justified way of getting closer to them and madly increasing their favourability. At this moment, Suo Fei felt that he had realized the intention of the game developers.
Ultimate gong-kun, don’t bless me too much with your hook-up skills!
Also, don’t use me as a guinea pig!
The two sped off and the little cub followed them closely. At this very moment, it held its head up high with pride. Behold this divine beast’s might!
The trio who travelled without a mount safely arrived at Benesse City before the dwarves.
They had agreed to meet up outside the gate, thus Suo Fei and his group waited in that area.
Suo Fei took advantage of this time to change the eye colour of Samael and him using the only magic he knew. Samael’s eyes turned into black which was a distinguishing characteristic of ordinary Demons whereas Suo Fei’s eyes turned into royal blue which was common for ordinary Elves.
This would make them less conspicuous in Benesse City’s crowd of different races.
Suo Fei thought that if his ability was high enough, he could even make Samael look uglier so that they would be even less conspicuous. Unfortunately, his inadequate magic skill was beyond embarrassing.
As expected, I still have to find an opportunity to seriously improve and practice his magic. Samael is a demon and Demons inherently reject all types of magic except black magic. Black magic advocates destruction and annihilation and thus, Demons could not practice any ordinary magic spells.
When Suo Fei thought of this, he suddenly felt that if he worked hard, he could become valuable! After all, the Elves were the only race in Yalance who could easily learn magic.
Not long after, the dwarves finally arrived.
Surprisingly, the little thing did not curiously ask how Samael arrived earlier than them. Suo Fei was only too glad to be spared from giving an explanation. If it was him who dashed all the way while carrying Samael, he might have considered explaining. But it was the opposite... Quickly ‘obliviate’ba!
Benesse City had a layered structure. The lowest layer was a free trade area where anyone could set up a market stall as long as they paid certain taxes. There was no restriction on what was being sold. Nobody would care even if you put up a withered branch for sale as long as you had the ability to sell it.
The middle layer was the hub for affluent traders. This was not confined to Goblins alone. Although most of them were goblins, there were still a handful of Humans whose families had established a name for themselves. The quality of the products of the middle layer was relatively high thus the entry requirement was also high. Just like a specialty store in a shopping mall, the shops were exquisite and the items for sale were neatly categorised. However, one must prove their wealth in order to enter. As for how to prove it, the crudest and simplest way was to bring boxes of gold coins.
The upper layer of Benesse City was the most luxurious and exorbitant place in the whole Yalance. There, it was common to see Oracle Celestials, Primeval Demons as well as the upper class of all races. At the same time, many of the things being traded in this place were not valued by money alone. The sellers also look at the customer’s status and power. Therefore, for some of the best items, what was more important was whether one could hold on to it after obtaining it.
Suo Fei’s scheming mind churned. He initially wanted to stroll around the whole lower layer of Benesse to scour out gold buried in coal. That’s right, he wanted to extract those gold and take them to Benesse’s upper layer to deceive people.
As for how to enter the upper layer, hehe. As long as ultimate gong-kun revealed his true identity of being a primeval demon, he would definitely receive the privilege of entering the premise.
Of course, before that, he needed to purchase a large amount of beast blood first. Not only so that Samael would have enough to drink, but also for assurance. After stocking up his interspatial bag full, let’s see if anyone can still make him lose a lot of blood! Laozi can drown them with blood!
With such a lofty ambition, Suo Fei entered Benesse City but a loud noise attracted his attention.
Blocking the main road into the city, a group of Humans wearing the same uniform stood in a circle. They laughingly teased the person they were surrounding, “Beauty, it’d be more dangerous for you to be alone. It would be better to join us. “
Suo Fei followed their line of sight, landing on a unique colour. It was dazzling, like a violet that is in full bloom.
