Chapter 257: The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character in Cultivation Fiction (6)
Jiang Wan nodded thoughtfully: "Hearing what you said, I want to join in the fun even more. Sister, do you have any dragon scale grass?"
"Dragon scale grass? I really don't know. You can ask her when you get upstairs. Madam Tao is in charge of our medicinal herbs. She must know what you are talking about."
Dragon scale grass is a precious medicinal material that can detoxify all kinds of poisons. It can not only detoxify, but also strengthen muscles and bones. It is rare in the market, but it seems common in Linglong Pavilion, but the price is not cheap.
As soon as Jiang Wan mentioned it, Mrs. Tao asked her how much she wanted.
Jiang Wan used ten high-quality spirit stones to buy ten plants.
She took out the Qiankun bag and put the herbs into it.
Madam Tao handed her a card and said, "Little sister, if you want to go to the Colosseum, you can enter with this card. However, you can only bring one follower with you. The ones behind you cannot enter."
Jiang Wan looked back in confusion.
Chunhua also looked back, but didn't see anyone.
Jiang Wan clenched her hand and said with a smile, "It's just the two of us, no one else."
"Then let someone take you to the Colosseum."
Jiang Wan asked curiously, "Can you choose any orc you want?"
"Girl wants to buy it?"
Jiang Wan smiled sheepishly: "I am quite interested in this half-orc, I just want to see if there are any good-looking ones. If there are any that suit my eyes, it would be no harm to buy one and take it back."
Madam Tao said to the maid who brought them here, "Xiao Ping, take these two girls to see the manager of the arena, tell them about the girls' situation, and ask Manager Qi to take them to choose an orc."
Jiang Wan and the other person followed her to the Arena.
The Colosseum does not have a grandstand on the first floor. The entire first floor is a huge arena surrounded by stone pillars and iron chains.
The stage is still empty.
The maid took Jiang Wan and the others to find Manager Qi at the stands on the second floor, and there were other managers nearby.
It wasn't just Jiang Wan who came here to buy orcs. There were also a lot of people surrounding the managers.
Manager Qi took those who wanted to buy orcs to the first floor.
Outside the stands, the circle is a room made of stones. There is only an iron cage in each room, and the orcs are locked in the cage.
I don't know if it was because they were fed medicine or they were afraid of the person in charge, but they huddled in the corner and looked quite obedient.
The steward explained the situation to them.
"The orcs here are divided into two categories. One is for viewing only, and the other is for fighting with wild beasts. The orcs that can only be used for viewing are relatively less expensive.
The orcs locked in this half of the stone house are for the fight. You can see that they are all tall and mighty. Just looking at them, you can tell that they are full of strength. It must be a hearty fight when they fight with the beast."
Then Manager Qi took them to the other side.
It can be seen at a glance that the orc locked here is relatively weak. If it weren't for the ears on the top of his head or the tail that can't be folded up behind him, at first glance, he would be no different from an ordinary person.
Jiang Wan turned around and stopped in front of a stone house.
The orc imprisoned inside had a scar on the right side of his face, two wolf ears on his head, and bloody marks on his hands and feet from the shackles. Although he was thin, his taut muscles were very smooth, and he exuded strength all over his body, looking very dangerous.
"Butler, he looks quite fierce, why is he in this room?"
The steward glanced at him, his eyes flashing with hatred for the orc, and said calmly: "We were planning to let him go before, but he injured his muscles and bones in training not long ago, and his movements are restricted. He is really not worthy of going out again to pollute the eyes of all the nobles."
This is not an injury from training.
He was an orc who was bought last year. Unexpectedly, he was so tough and could not be tamed. He was given medicine, beaten, and had several iron nails stuck in his body, but ordinary people still could not get close to him.
So the nobleman got so angry that he sent him back.
It is precisely because of his ability to fight that he has survived to this day.
If he had no merits, the Pavilion Master should have killed him the day he was sent back.
"What's his name? Can I take him?"
As soon as Jiang Wan finished speaking, the chains locking him in the iron cage rattled, and the man leaning in the corner slowly opened his eyes, his grey eyes filled with bloodthirsty light.
The manager said politely, "He's just a lowly orc, so he doesn't have a name. His code name is Number Seven. He can be sold, but he's quite fierce and hard to tame. If the girl buys him, there's no reason to return him."
"I want him."
"How many spirit stones?"
Two voices sounded at the same time.
Jiang Wan turned her gaze to the other person who was speaking. He was dressed in white, with his hair tied up with a jade crown and a folding fan in his hand. He looked like a suave and romantic man, but the calculation in his eyes was almost overflowing.
His calculation was not directed at the person in the cage, but at her.
The man opened his folding fan and said, "What a fate! I and the girl have fallen in love with the same orc. A gentleman should not take away what others like. Since the girl likes him, I will reluctantly give him up and give him to her."
Jiang Wan said calmly, "First come, first served. Whoever buys it owns it. There is no question of giving it away or not."
"What the girl said is absolutely right. Her personality is exactly what I like. Manager, how much does it cost to take this orc away? I will pay the money and buy this orc as a gift to the girl. Just consider it as making a friend."
The steward's eyes flashed with something strange, he stretched out his hand and said, "I want fifty high-grade spirit stones."
When they heard the price, many people widened their eyes.
The calmness on the man's face cracked for a moment: "Are all the orcs here fifty top-grade spirit stones?"
"The others are all twenty, but he is special. If it were someone else, he would need one hundred high-grade spirit stones."
It’s not that I can’t take out the spirit stones, it’s just a bit painful.
Especially buying an orc, it seems not worth it.
The man was still trying to bargain, but then he saw someone walk up to Manager Qi and whisper something to him.
Then the steward said to Jiang Wan, "Miss, someone has already bought this orc for you. This orc is yours. Do you want to take him away now, or do you want our Linglong Pavilion to deliver the orc to your door?"
