Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 796: Chapter 86: New Spice (Part 3)

Well, the cost of transporting a few fish is still quite high. It’s fine to let a Kappa transport them for over a hundred miles; the Light-Scaled Fish are sold within the territory. But if they are transported long distances, the losses might be significant. Each Light-Scaled Fish is worth over a hundred Golden Crowns; if it eats two, the profit wouldn’t cover the losses.

However, if the buyer is just over a hundred miles from Lake Reiflin, it seems unnecessary to have a Kappa transport them. Why doesn’t their family just come to Hesse Town to eat on site? Plus, the city’s chefs will process them for free.

The Kappa, like a mischievous child, blushed and felt a bit embarrassed, quickly changing the topic: "My friend, you haven’t said what you are doing at the Gem Pool."

Before Su Li had a chance to answer, Bui jumped in to respond first: "He said he wanted to create a homely atmosphere for a beautiful lady, and she’s from the distant Land of Spices in the East~ It’s said that the climate there is warm, spring-like year-round, much like our Gem Pool~"

"A beautiful lady? That’s great! As beautiful and gentle as Vidage?" The Kappa was very excited too.

It didn’t have any wild fantasies about people and beasts; it’s just a mischievous child who purely enjoys being cared for by lovely and gentle maidens.

"Are we welcoming a new member to our Gem Pool? Where is she?"

Amidst the noisy chatter, Ariana returned from outside, bringing with her a graceful beauty. Her fragrance was alluring, and her slender water snake-like waist was enchanting.

As the beauty approached, all the Water Elves screamed and instantly hid behind the Kappa.

As the Guardian Otter, the Kappa’s hair stood on end, crouched on all fours, revealing sharp claws, body tense and ready to attack at any time.

"Snake! A snake has invaded our Gem Pool! My good brethren, hurry and hide behind me, let me protect you!"

The Primitive Maiden Vidage also immediately waved her hand, summoning a slingshot from the water. Holding a handful of emerald gemstones, she watched from the Kappa’s back with vigilance. Should the Snake Woman Hela continue to approach, she would use the emerald gemstones as projectiles with her slingshot to hit her.

This was her most important method of protecting the Gem Pool. The fired projectiles would hit the target like Arcane Missiles, causing terrible magical damage.

Before, Chaos Knights and Treachery followers had infiltrated here, and the Kappa had repelled them using this method.

Even powerful Elite Level Chaos Knights couldn’t withstand this terrifying magic attack. The Arcane Missiles melted their armor, purifying its corrosion.

Perhaps feeling it wasn’t secure enough, Vidage shouted again: "Bui, Lucy, quickly call the Valkyrie. She is our strongest Guardian; we absolutely cannot let the evil Medusa pollute our Gem Pool."

In fact, Selanweir had already emerged from practicing under the Rainbow Falls, the source of the Gem Pool in the deepest area. When the Kappa excitedly leaped down from the waterfall, the loud noise awakened her. Upon hearing Su Li’s arrival, she had already arrived as soon as possible.

Yet seeing Hela and Ariana standing behind Su Li, she appeared a bit at a loss.

Su Li had to reach out his hand, summoning her to his side, saying: "Don’t get excited. I’m just bringing a new member to your Gem Pool, like how your family welcomed Selanweir. Hela is not a viper or Medusa, but a gentle and beautiful Snake Woman from the distant Spice Country. In the Tiger Man’s ruled area, they are famous for growing and tending to spices."

Saying this, Su Li gestured to Ariana, who stepped aside, leading Hela by her fair arm to approach.

Seeing her approach, Vidage and the Kappa both tensed up, stepping back a bit, still nervously staring at her: "Who knows if she’s lying? Vipers are all deceptive! What if you leave, and she sheds her disguise and devours us all?"

Does Hela have that ability?

Although the more beautiful a woman is, the more deceitful she can be, Hela shouldn’t be able to simultaneously deceive the Divine Chosen’s eyes across the territory and Su Li’s Daily Intelligence.

In fact, Hela is just a gentle Witch, like Ingrid and Analis, with some witchcraft abilities used for production.

With Analis’s combat ability, even lifting a few bottles of wine is taxing. If she had any ideas, one slap from the Kappa would make her stumble, falling asleep.

Thus Su Li directly extended his arms, wrapping them around Hela’s slender waist; it truly was a water snake waist, feeling only delicately slender as it wrapped in his embrace.

Men who often embrace different women would certainly understand one feeling; different women feel entirely different when embraced.

Some women feel soft and supple, making one want to tighten their grip and nearly want to desperately ravish them.

While embracing other women feels very slender and delicate, bringing them into one’s arms feels like holding a delicate treasure, provoking a desire for gentle care.

Hela was clearly the latter. Even though she involuntarily tensed up momentarily when Su Li embraced her, she immediately melted like bonelessly leaned against Su Li’s chest, her white, slender hands gently resting on his chest. The perfect gentle watery temperament of this Eastern beauty was something the Green Tea Ansilvana, a Female Knight, could never imitate.
