Two Worlds: Snickers Bars for Cow Maids

In terms of combat power, Grum's strength is second only to his father, Brad August, in this city.

My father was seriously injured in a battle with monsters not long ago and has not recovered yet.

Now there is almost no one in the city who can suppress this arrogant orc.

Leon could only hope in his heart that the adult would arrive as soon as possible, otherwise tonight's dinner might get out of control.

He looked at Zhang Luan and then at Sheila, fearing that Grum would attack them.

"Little guy, I hold the princess of the Rabbit-Eared Tribe. Due to my status, I can do anything I want to any Rabbit-Eared Tribe member. What's wrong? Haven't you learned the high-level laws of the nobility? Are you still stuck on the commoner laws that say slaves are private property, sacred and inviolable?"

As Grum said this, he stretched out his calloused hand again, grabbed the slender neck of the bunny-eared girl behind Leon like an iron clamp, and lifted her entire petite body into the air.

The bunny-eared girl's small hands tried hard to pry open the thick palm that was restraining her neck, but her strength was nothing compared to Grum's.

Her delicate face turned red due to suffocation, and her pair of embroidered leather shoes fell off during her violent struggle, leaving her delicate little feet dangling helplessly in the air.

The silk skirt fluttered continuously due to the struggling movement, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white thighs, and the hem of the skirt rose and fell in the air like butterfly wings.

"Grum, you've gone too far!" Leon roared, and the sound of the sword in his hand being unsheathed cut through the air.

He suddenly drew the sword from his waist and pointed the tip of the sword at Grum's lower body. "If you don't let her down, I will kill you!"

The surrounding human nobles saw this scene and retreated in fear. After all, on one side was the Young City Lord, Leon, and on the other was the Deputy City Lord, Grum, and it was difficult to offend either side.

Only a few nobles who had a good relationship with Leon stood firmly by his side, but their hands and feet were weak. After all, they were not qualified to enter with weapons. Facing the orcs who were also unarmed, they were not at an advantage.

Zhang Luan stood aside with a gloomy expression, looking at Luna standing beside Grum with her head lowered, hesitant in his heart. If he took action now, it would be difficult to guarantee that Luna would be rescued without hurting her.

At this time, although Luna did not look at Zhang Luan, she seemed to have understood his intention. She shook her head slightly, signaling him not to act rashly.

"No way, you want to turn against me for a slave?" A hint of sarcasm flashed in Grum's eyes.

He completely ignored Leon's threat and suddenly exerted force with his calloused hand, and only a creepy creaking sound was heard.

The snow-white neck of Leon's bunny-eared maid was instantly broken, and her slender body swayed softly in the air like a puppet with its strings cut, with her pink bunny ears drooping weakly.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't control the strength well just now. I didn't expect this little thing to be so fragile. It died! I'll give it back to you. It's so boring!"

Chapter 96

As Grum said this, he waved his hand and threw the body of the bunny-eared maid to the ground like garbage.

Her limp body fell heavily on the marble floor with a dull thud.

Her little feet were still twitching slightly, her silk skirt was piled messily at her waist, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white skin, and her delicate little face still retained an expression of pain before death.

"Oh, by the way, I heard that you bought this bunny-eared girl for 2500 gold coins. Give him 3000 gold coins and ask him to buy a stronger maid!" Grum said with a smile, his tone full of teasing.

"Okay, Lord Grum!" A gorgeously dressed goblin behind him immediately took out a bag of gold coins and placed it respectfully in front of Leon.

"Damn it..." The sword in Leon's hand trembled violently with excitement. He didn't stab down just now, and there was even less reason to stab down now.

The nobles consume slaves every month. From this perspective, Leon's revenge for the slaves will only make other nobles feel confused, and no one will support his behavior.

"Alright, stop making fun of us all. You might think there's discord within Arcadia City. Don't let the monsters take advantage of us! Where's your father? I'm more used to discussing things with him. Adult conversations aren't childish!"

Grum's big hand, which had just broken the rabbit-eared maid's neck, was now gently patting Leon's shoulder. Each pat seemed to carry a silent threat, and his tone was full of provocation and disdain.

"Grum, why are you acting like a child?" An old but majestic voice echoed in the hall.

Hearing this familiar voice, Leon's face suddenly showed a look of joy, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

The surrounding orc nobles immediately restrained their arrogant smiles, lowered their bodies, lowered their heads, and looked nervously in the direction where the sound came from.

Chapter 107: Aisilia Appears

I saw a burly man walking slowly towards me.

He is nearly two meters tall. Although his hair has turned gray, his muscles are still strong and he walks with a calm and steady demeanor.

He was wearing a dark blue noble robe with the city lord's badge on his chest. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and his every move exuded an aura of majesty without anger.

"Brad? I'm so happy to see that you're well!" Grum was stunned at first, then an obviously forced smile appeared on his face.

"Another good friend will be here soon, you will be even happier when you see him!" Brad smiled indifferently, walked up to Groom and gave him a big hug that seemed enthusiastic.

At the moment of the hug, Grum's expression suddenly changed.

He could clearly feel Brad's still strong muscles and undiminished strength. It was obvious that the injuries from the previous battle had almost healed.

This made him feel uneasy.

"Really? Well, I'd like to see it for myself!" Grum smiled awkwardly, his previous arrogance gone.

"According to the time, she should be here soon!" City Lord Brad said thoughtfully as he looked at the bright moonlight through the porthole at the top of the hall.

As soon as he finished speaking, a high-pitched neighing of war horses suddenly sounded.

Immediately afterwards, a team of human female warriors wearing silver armor came from both sides.

They were tall, their armor outlining their graceful curves, yet they did not diminish their heroic spirit at all.

With spears held straight in their hands, steps in step, and sharp eyes, they forced the orc warriors to retreat again and again.

Finally, a petite girl appeared in everyone's sight.

She had playful twin ponytails and was only a little over 1.5 meters tall, but she carried a huge hammer on her back that was a circle bigger than her body.

Mysterious runes were engraved on the surface of the hammer, emitting a faint blue glow.

The girl was wearing a modified version of silver armor that outlined her slender waist, and a short skirt with black tights.

There was determination in her emerald eyes, a faint smile on her small face, and she walked towards the center of the hall with firm steps.

At the entrance of the banquet hall, several human guards in standard armor were standing on full alert. Behind them was a row of neatly arranged weapon racks, on which were placed various weapons delivered by the nobles.

"Excuse me..." A guard's voice trembled unconsciously when he saw the shining golden griffin emblem on Aisilia's chest.

That is equivalent to the highest-level medal in the kingdom, representing that the holder has a status comparable to that of a general.

"Protect my weapon and don't let anyone touch it, okay?" There was unquestionable majesty in Aisilia's clear voice.

She raised her slender right arm slightly and grasped the handle of the huge hammer with one hand.

The petite body formed a strong contrast with the huge hammer, which made the people around gasp.

She pointed the hammer downward and slowly let go when it was half a meter from the ground.

"Boom!" The heavy hammer hit the marble floor with a deafening sound.

The entire hall shook violently, as if there had been an earthquake. The exquisite swords and spears on the weapon racks jumped, making crisp clashes.

The chandelier in the hall also swayed, casting flickering light and shadows on the ground.

"Yes, yes, Lady Aisilia!" The soldiers on both sides responded quickly, thinking to themselves: Who else can lift such a weight except her?

Aisilia walked into the hall with her chin held high, completely ignoring the nobles who were flocking in.

The silver armor gleamed coldly in the candlelight, and her ponytails swayed gently with her steps. She walked straight to the city lord Brad and bowed gracefully: "Greetings, Lord City Lord!"

"Just call me Brad. You're finally here. Did you go well in clearing out the monsters?" Brad had a fatherly smile on his face.

"I thought we could have a good fight this time, but I didn't expect them to be wiped out so easily. I haven't had enough fun yet!" Aisilia's little mouth was full of regret in her tone. Her cute look made it hard to believe that she had just experienced a fierce battle.

"I'm glad it went well. Thank you for your hard work!" Brad nodded with satisfaction.

The two of them soon started chatting about the details of clearing out the monsters, their faces filled with excitement.

Grum stood aside, completely ignored like a transparent man, with a changeable expression on his ferocious face.

"Speaking of which, the most important thing is the availability of supplies, which allowed us to unleash our full combat power. The concentrated honey cake, a specialty of Arcadia City, was really a great help!" As Aisilia spoke, she excitedly shook her twin ponytails, her emerald eyes sparkling with light.

"Condensed honey cake? Is that a local specialty?" Brad frowned slightly, a look of confusion on his face. But then he smiled in relief. He had been recovering from his injuries for so long, so it was normal for some new and unusual specialties to appear in the city.

"Concentrated honey cake?" When Zhang Luan heard this word, his eyebrows raised slightly, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

He remembered that some time ago someone bought 100,000 Snickers bars at one time, and it turned out that they were bought by the Knights of the Golden Griffin.

Indeed, only an organization as wealthy as theirs would do this.

Clearing out monsters requires continuous high-intensity combat, and replenishing energy is the most important thing.

Moreover, the materials and bounty rewards obtained from monsters are much higher than the cost of buying Snickers. This deal is a sure win no matter how you look at it.

"It's a pity I bought too much last time. It's almost impossible to find this kind of stuff at the auction house lately." Aisilia pouted, her ponytails swaying gently with the rhythm of her words. "If the city lord knows a master who produces concentrated honey cakes, please ask him to produce more. The monsters have been active recently, and there are still many places that need them!"

"No problem, as long as I see the master of honey cake production, I will definitely beg him!" Brad said cheerfully.

Chapter 97

He agreed with a smile, without any airs of a city lord.

His wrinkled face was filled with a kind smile, like an amiable old man next door.

"Father, I want to introduce someone to you!"

Leon's voice was full of pride, and there was no trace of the anger he had just felt over the maid's tragic death.

He quickly stepped forward, pulling Zhang Luan with him. "He's a top businessman from the Eastern Continent. Although he's only been here a short time, he successfully killed the demonized wild boar and became a three-star adventurer in the Adventurer's Guild. He was also recognized by the senior magician Alia and accepted as her only apprentice! Mr. Zhang Luan!"

At this time, servants had already carried away the body of the rabbit-eared girl.

Obviously, Leon's previous anger was not because of the maid's death, but because of Grum's contemptuous attitude.

Chapter 108 A million profits

"Oh? So it was you who killed the monster in the nearby village." A hint of admiration flashed in Brad's eyes. "I originally planned to come back to deal with this guy after defeating the monster, but my injury was not healed, so it destroyed the village. Fortunately, I have you!" He stretched out his thick big hand to Zhang Luan.

"With you here, Arcadia City is an indestructible castle. No matter how rampant the monsters are, we have nothing to fear! The future belongs to you young people!" Brad grabbed Zhang Luan's arm with one hand, gently pulled Aisilia with the other hand, and walked in front of all the nobles.

"I hereby declare that Mr. Zhang Luan will be a knight of Arcadia City and can choose a fiefdom of his own!" Brad's voice was loud and powerful, and at the same time he drew out the jewel-studded sword at his waist.

"Master, kneel down and receive the title!" Silla sensed Zhang Luan's bewildered expression and quickly whispered a warning. Her wolf ears trembled slightly with nervousness.

"Oh!" Zhang Luan finally reacted and knelt on one knee in panic.

Brad watched this scene with a slight smile on his face.

This Zhang Luan was indeed from the Eastern Continent. Not only were his name and the style of his Zhongshan suit strange, he didn't even understand the most basic ceremony of being enthroned.

He gently placed the sword, which was shining with a cold light, on Zhang Luan's shoulder and solemnly read the oath.

Although Zhang Luan was unfamiliar with the instructions, he still carefully repeated every word.

After the oath was finished, the surrounding nobles immediately swarmed forward, vying to congratulate the new knight.

Some praised his courage, some admired his strength, and more wanted to take the opportunity to make friends with this upstart who was favored by the city lord.

"Now that I've been knighted, can I choose a fiefdom?" Zhang Luan stood up and asked bluntly. The surrounding nobles were all surprised when they heard this.

"Of course, you can choose a fiefdom." Brad's face showed a trace of embarrassment. "But now that monsters are rampant, many villages have owners, so... maybe now is not the time!"

When Aisilia heard this, she snorted and curled her lips slightly with a disdainful expression.

A hint of displeasure flashed across her emerald eyes. She obviously still remembered that Zhang Luan had stolen the limelight at the auction house.

In her opinion, this was a greedy and lustful guy.

"I'll just take that abandoned village," Zhang Luan said without hesitation. "I'll pay for the reconstruction. After all, that's where I first showed my talents on this continent. It's very memorable!"

"But..." Brad frowned, "Rebuilding the village is no easy task. Just demolishing the damaged buildings is a considerable expense. You must be mentally prepared!"

"I understand. I will bear all the expenses myself!" Zhang Luan nodded firmly.

Brad looked at Zhang Luan's serious expression and finally nodded in agreement. "Alright, since you've chosen that piece of land as your fiefdom, then from today on, that village belongs to you. After it's rebuilt, you'll be able to name it, and all taxes generated there will belong to you!"

The surrounding nobles immediately swarmed over and congratulated the new lord.

Some people patted him on the shoulders, some raised their glasses to celebrate, and the whole hall was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

"Congratulations, Brother Zhang!" Leon walked over with a beaming face and gave Zhang Luan a warm hug. "You've earned my father's appreciation. Together, we'll build an even more powerful Arcadia!"

Among the celebrating crowd, only Aisilia and Grumm looked particularly gloomy.

One was because of his prejudice against Zhang Luan, and the other was because the changes in the situation made him feel uneasy.

"I'm not very proficient in city management, and I'll have to rely on the young city lord's support in the future!" Zhang Luan said modestly with a perfect smile on his face.

"Hey, we are all brothers, why be polite?" Leon put his arm around Zhang Luan's shoulders warmly and pulled him to the corner.

He lowered his voice, his eyes gleaming with excitement, "By the way, I heard you were planning to open a high-end clothing store in the city?"

"The Young City Lord is indeed well-informed. I just had a plan, but you knew everything about it!" Zhang Luan said with a smile.
