"Her country is gone, so it's impossible for her to be with me. My father will not let me marry someone without status." Prince Duoya reached out and patted Wang Xiaohai's wrist, "Put me down!"
The two golden knights drew their swords and rushed forward to rescue him. But no matter how they moved, Wang Xiaohai could accurately aim Prince Duoya at the tips of their outstretched swords. If they dared to stab him, Prince Duoya would surely be stabbed to death.
"Sir, please release him. After Prince Doa heard about the incident in Lorraine, he no longer paid any attention to Earl Daly." The two golden knights put away their swords and said respectfully with fists clasped.
"What a scumbag!" Wang Xiaohai threw Prince Duoya to the ground like garbage.
Prince Doya's leg seemed to be broken. He lay on the ground groaning, and the sound was like a mouse caught in a mousetrap.
"What happened in Lorraine?" Wang Xiaohai asked the two golden knights.
"A large-scale infection and mutation has broken out in Lorraine. The Vatican has ordered all countries bordering Lorraine to set up quarantine lines and patrols, prohibiting anyone from entering. Anyone found trying to leave Lorraine will be executed on the spot to prevent anyone from carrying the virus out of the country." A golden knight answered, and the other carried Prince Doya on his back, and the two knights hurried away.
"Infected and mutated?" Wang Xiaohai pondered, gazing towards the red alert zone. He knew the reason—the irradiated red sand had originally been buried beneath the desert, along with the treasure statue. Barely an accident would have kept it hidden for countless years, but someone had brought it out from the quicksand. Originally, it was just a small amount, which could have been eliminated, but someone had unexpectedly mined it extensively, exposing more and more of the infected red sand. Add to that the constant traffic, and it was only a matter of time before this irradiated and mutated virus would spread throughout the continent.
Wang Xiaohai believes that once some hidden dangers exist, if they are not eliminated, they will definitely erupt, just like the worn-out wires on the wall, which need to be updated in time, and don’t wait until they are electrocuted before replacing them!
"Then where is Earl Daly now?" Wang Xiaohai suddenly thought of this question. He thought of several possibilities, but the probability of each possibility was very high.
Wang Xiaohai had no choice. Out of respect, he did not remember Deli's martial aura. Besides, Deli must be very far away from him now. Even if he remembered it, it would be beyond his sensing range. No matter how sharp a dog's nose is, it has a range limit.
"Forget it, Deli is also a warrior and can protect herself when she goes out."
Wang Xiaohai flew overhead and observed the situation. Finding no movement in the red alert zone, he headed to a nearby desert country, bought a few cows, and roasted them in an uninhabited forest. After all, it only took him a few seconds to cross the desert, faster than walking from the top floor of a hotel to the bottom.
"I should buy more food, roast more and put them in the storage ring, so that I don't have to look for food every day." Wang Xiaohai felt that his food preparation was not sufficient. His storage ring was a special space where no life could exist. When inanimate food was put in it, except for the temperature, the freshness and taste would not change at all. Anyway, there were 10 million cubic meters of space, and it would be a waste to leave it empty.
Wang Xiaohai soared upward, surpassing the clouds. He felt the gravitational pull of the planet below, and then he observed the continent—a vibrant expanse of vibrant green, like a picture. Through the clouds, he locked onto a tiny green dot below, then magnified it ten thousand times, revealing it to be a vast grassland. Judging by its size and distinct boundaries, it was divided into at least dozens of different countries.
Wang Xiaohai quickly lowered his altitude. The grassland expanded in his eyes, and the sound of icy wind whistled past his body on both sides. After a few seconds, it occupied his entire field of vision. Finally, he stood among a group of cattle and sheep on the grassland.
"Where are you from?" The herdsmen who were grazing on horseback were startled to see Wang Xiaohai suddenly appear among their flock. They thought that Wang Xiaohai had been lurking among their cattle and sheep since last night.
There were four other herdsmen who followed him and heard the noise, and they all surrounded Wang Xiaohai.
"I'm new here, and I'd like to ask what country this is?" Wang Xiaohai asked. "Never mind, it doesn't matter which country it is. I just want to know if you have cattle and sheep for sale."
"You're not a thief?" the herdsman asked suspiciously. "Why didn't I see where you came from?"
"Because it was too dark last night, I kept walking on the grassland and got lost." Wang Xiaohai made up a nonsense excuse.
"Are you walking on the grassland? Without a horse?" The other four herdsmen rode over, surrounded Wang Xiaohai, and kept spinning like windmills.
"They ran away at night," Wang Xiaohai said. "That's not the point. The point is, will you sell the cattle and sheep? Also, even if I were a thief, I would choose to take one or two cattle and sheep at night, rather than expose myself during the day."
The five herdsmen thought what Wang Xiaohai said made sense.
"Do you want to buy a few sheep or cows?" asked the oldest-looking herdsman in the middle, the wrinkles on his face like the tail of a snail.
"Are you the person in charge here?" Wang Xiaohai asked the elderly herdsman.
"I'm the most senior herder at the Gle Ranch," the elder replied. "The pasture from here to the hills in the distance belongs to Earl Gle. Of course, Earl Gle lives in his castle in the city, and his son is in charge here. If you want to buy a few sheep, I can sell them to you. Just give me the money, and I'll pass it on to the steward when we get back."
Although the cattle and sheep needed to be counted weekly, it was normal for a few to die each week in a herd of nearly ten thousand. The older herders planned to collect some money and report the number of deaths. Since the proceeds from handling the dead were lower than those from handling the living, they could all make a living and support their families. Several herders had been in this business for decades and were very experienced. Specialized cattle and sheep dealers often contacted them and sold live cattle and sheep as dead. All five herders had done this before. After all, it was the Earl's money that was being lost. The Earl's son spent his days listening to violin playing in taverns and theaters, so he had no time to worry about such things.
"How many?" Wang Xiaohai said, "No."
The five herders were slightly disappointed. If they had only bought one sheep, they wouldn't have made much money. A sheep could sell for around thirty taels. They reported the number of deaths and needed to hand over twenty-five taels to the ranch manager, leaving them with only five taels, which they would then each receive one tael. If they had bought a cow, they could have made a little more.
"Excuse me, do you want to buy a cow or a sheep?" the herdsmen asked.
"I want both the cattle and the sheep," Wang Xiaohai said. "I want to buy all the cattle and sheep on this Gelie Ranch. How much do you want?"
"All...all?" The five herdsmen's lips trembled a little.
