Count Ant, one of the most powerful earls from the Blazing Steel Kingdom, is famous for the enormous wealth his family possesses.
Not only does he own a large grape plantation in the country, he has also traveled to many countries and prides himself on his broad knowledge.
This time, he followed his master to Yangliu Island.
At the banquet, he was successfully attracted by what Kroeber said.
He wanted to find out what interesting thing could make His Majesty Krober express it in such a tactful way.
So he and another earl who was traveling with him decided to split up. The earl chose to explore eastward, while he went west.
At this moment, the streets are crowded with people, mostly local residents.
Count Ant strolled along the avenue, looking left and right, but did not find anything special.
Just then, his attention was attracted by a child squatting on the side of the road playing with wooden toys.
"Hey, kid, if you can tell me where there's something fun to do around here, this silver coin will be yours."
Count Ant took out a glittering silver coin from his pocket and smiled at the child.
He has already restrained his aristocratic temper.
If it were in his territory, he would not speak nicely to these untouchables, let alone give his property to others.
But this is the territory of His Majesty Krober after all, and he chose to be patient temporarily for the sake of that lord.
The child put down the toy in his hand and looked up.
"You are the 'guests' that Master Orchi mentioned, right? Master Orchi said one gold coin for each question, and three gold coins for the guide."
When the child saw the Count Ant dressed in luxurious clothes, he was not frightened but even spoke excitedly.
After hearing this, the smile on Earl Ant's face froze instantly, replaced by a look of anger.
"What? A gold coin! Are you crazy about money, you little bastard?"
Count Ant glared at the child in front of him. He didn't expect that he would be blackmailed by a child here.
However, the child was not intimidated by Count Ant's aura, but answered confidently:
"This is the price set by Lord Olchi. If you're not willing to pay, then I won't tell you the way."
After saying that, the child crossed his arms, looking fearless.
Count Ant was so angry that his face turned blue, but he could do nothing.
He secretly cursed this damn pariah in his heart, but this rule was made by Lord Orchi, so he had no choice but to take out a gold coin and hand it to the child.
"Okay, you win. Here's a gold coin. Now you can tell me what's fun, right?"
The child took the gold coin, smiled with satisfaction, and then began to introduce the surrounding attractions and entertainment venues to Earl Ant.
"Do you want to go to some ordinary place, or some place where adults like to go?"
Hearing the child's words, Count Ant's eyes lit up instantly.
"A place where adults play? What is that??"
But the child did not answer his question directly, but stretched out his hand again.
"As I said, one gold coin for one question, and the question is over."
.....
Damn it!
Damn it!!
Is this still a child?
Could it be that some magician who is good at manipulating souls is playing tricks on me?
This is simply a big profiteer!
Even more treacherous than this profiteer from the Blazing Steel Kingdom!!
However, now that I'm in a foreign country, I'd better endure it for now...
You have to give people some face.
"Well, I'll give you three gold coins, and you just take me to the nearest and most fun place."
Reluctantly, he took out three gold coins from his pocket and handed them to the child.
After the child took the gold coin, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He threw the toy in his hand away and stood up.
"Hey, uncle, these three gold coins will not only allow me to take you to your destination, but also allow you to ask me three questions."
The child blinked his clever big eyes and said proudly.
Hearing that he could still ask questions, Count Ant felt much better.
At least his money wasn't wasted.
Although three gold coins were enough to support the child for several years, they were not very precious to Earl Ant.
"Uncle, do you want to go to a place where adults play, or some ordinary place?"
Once the child gets the money, he has to do the work.
This is what Master Orchi repeatedly emphasized during training.
"What do adults play? What are ordinary ones?"
Count Ant was knowledgeable and could guess something from the child's euphemistic expression, but he still asked directly.
"The ones that adults play with seem to be called some kind of custom shop. The ordinary ones are those common shops, like Naga's Magic House or something like that."
"The name 'custom shop' was given by His Majesty Krober himself. The boss behind these chain stores is Lord Orchi, and the man behind Lord Orchi is naturally His Majesty Krober."
Whether in the common language of humans or the common language of the sea people, this word is extremely rare and obscure.
However, His Majesty Krober has a special liking for this word, and everyone can only helplessly use it to refer to this type of store.
The child's explanation gave Count Ant a general understanding.
He prides himself on being knowledgeable and well-traveled, having traveled to seven countries and having had in-depth exchanges with women from each country.
Among them, in the five kingdoms of Emerald Kingdom, Citrine Jade Crown Kingdom, Topaz Kingdom, Azure Tide Kingdom, and Sacred Mithril Kingdom, women are considered beautiful for their fair skin, nobleness and elegance.
They generally maintain their skin to the color of milk, and also match it with long golden wavy hair and flaming red lips as embellishments.
It is beautiful, but it is all the same. Count Ant soon got tired of it after experiencing it a few times.
He still likes women from his own country the most.
They all have healthy tan skin, a fit body and muscles.
Because the environment in their country is not good, both men and women need to fight against the natural environment, and only healthy women can give birth to healthy offspring.
However, no matter how strong the women in their country are, they cannot compare to the women in the Orichalcum Kingdom.
The Orichalcum Kingdom is the only country among the Seven Kingdoms that truly achieves "gender equality".
When they recruit soldiers, the requirements for men and women are the same.
Both male and female soldiers can enlist.
Moreover, their country's concept of choosing a spouse is very strange, and everyone speaks with their fists.
For example, if a woman likes a man, she can challenge him.
If she wins, she can tie the man up and take him to her room.
If a man does not obey, he will be labeled as a "coward", "woe", "waste", etc.
This is equivalent to social death in the Kingdom of Orichalcum, where everyone values martial arts.
