Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 1656: Chapter 556: Everything Is Ready, Giant Commerce Pays a Visit

"We will do our utmost to improve ourselves and become even stronger!"

With these words, the combat personnel left one by one.

However, a considerable number of combat personnel who had reached the current full level remained stationed in the territory.

Cao Xing continued, "Isabell, come over here."

The Holy Light Priest, holding the [Divine Punishment Staff], walked over gracefully, then slightly bowed and said, "Lord, what are your instructions?"

Cao Xing said, "Next, I’m giving you a location where there might be an inheritance of a Light Element Legendary Mage."

"I need you to go to this place alone and activate the inheritance. Do you have the confidence?"

Hearing this, Isabell’s eyes focused.

"Is it really an inheritance of a Light Element Legendary Mage? If it’s such a place, it indeed would be greatly beneficial to me."

Cao Xing replied, "Yes, if you’re not confident, I can send two people to go with you."

Isabell shook her head and said, "No need, dear Lord."

"Inheritances set by these Legendary Mages are different from those of the Sword Saints; they have strict attribute requirements for their successors."

"Without mastering the corresponding attributes, they won’t allow other creatures to enter the inheritance."

Cao Xing nodded in realization, "Alright then, you head there on your own now. If there’s any problem, contact me immediately through the communication device on your ear."

"Yes!"

With these words, the Holy Light Priest turned decisively, holding the magic wand, and stepped into the Teleportation Array.

So far, besides Assam and Renice, Isabell was also sent out by him to carry out the mission alone.

Just as he decided to call the combat personnel to gather.

A visit request suddenly appeared, interrupting his thoughts.

[Giant Commerce: Orkan requests to visit your territory, do you accept?]

...

"Giant Commerce?"

Cao Xing was slightly taken aback, then remembered something.

To speak of it, Giant Commerce had indeed visited his territory once before.

Unlike Black Lion Commerce and Moon God Trading House, this is a commerce specifically for the trade of slaves.

It was in this commerce that Cao Xing discovered two talents.

Namingly, the Mind Energy Empress: Victoria, and Poison Master Sabina.

"Is this commerce coming again to do business with me?"

With a curious expression, Cao Xing clicked ’Accept’ and then walked out of the castle gate.

At a glance, he saw that a convoy appeared ahead.

With nearly twenty carriages in total, it was a rather large convoy.

Each carriage was covered with a black cloth imprinted with the mark of a fist.

On either side of the carriages, a group of well-equipped mercenaries followed, each looking at the territory with a solemn expression on their faces.

Leading the way was a tall and thin middle-aged man.

Cao Xing recognized him as well.

It was Orkan, who had visited the territory once before.

At this moment, the slender and somewhat crafty-looking merchant approached while marveling at the changes in the territory.

He seemed not to expect that the territory had transformed so dramatically in just a few months!

Cao Xing stood alone outside the territory, waiting.

Soon, both parties met.

Orkan couldn’t help but ask, "Lord, what has happened in your territory?"

"In such a short time, there’s been such a tremendous change!"

Cao Xing shook his head, "Nothing much, just that the staff in my territory have been relatively diligent."

Seeing Cao Xing reluctant to elaborate, Orkan wisely did not press further.

"Mr. Orkan, is there anything you need today?" Cao Xing asked straightforwardly.

The merchant’s face instantly broke into a smile.

"Lord Cao Xing, you seem to have forgotten."

"Last time, didn’t I promise you that next time I passed by Gale Snow Plain, I’d bring you some good stuff?"

"This time, I’ve specifically come to trade with you."

Upon hearing ’good stuff’, Cao Xing’s interest was piqued.

"Oh? What is it?"

Orkan looked toward the back and made a gesture.

In the next moment, the group of mercenaries grabbed a corner of the carriage’s curtain and directly unveiled it.

"Swoosh!"

The black cloth slowly fell.

Then, Cao Xing saw a group of strange figures appearing in the prison of the carriage.

They had human-like forms and seemed to possess female characteristics.

Yet their bodies appeared to be made purely of gemstones, taking on a transparent crystal appearance.

Their skin was smooth and shiny, looking faceted.

Their crystal-like pupils showed no eyeballs; they tilted their heads, watching in the direction of Cao Xing and Orkan, as if observing something.

This group’s bizarre appearance, even with their hair, clothing, and nails made entirely of crystal, aroused Cao Xing’s curiosity.

He asked, with a trace of wonder, "Mr. Orkan, what are these?"

The merchant wore a peculiar smile as he explained, "Lord Cao Xing, these are the Crystal People, a very ancient race."

"Their earliest existence can even be traced back tens of thousands of years."

"Their origins are quite complex; no one knows how this race came to be."

"Some say they emerged from magical stones buried deep underground at the time of the continent’s split, erupting to the surface under pressure to form this race."

"Others say they descended from another plane, acquiring consciousness after being washed by endless sea waters."

"In any case, there are many theories, and even they don’t know their origins."

Orkan paused, then continued.

"Everything in their bodies is made of crystal stone, making them look like accessories."

"But they have their own consciousness and possess high intelligence, capable of moving by themselves and having established their own tribe."

"Therefore, they are also an intelligent race in this world."

After listening, Cao Xing still had a puzzled look in his eyes.

"What is the function of this group of Crystal People?"

Orkan became excited immediately, "Of course, they are useful!"

"These Crystal People are treasures that can lay golden eggs!"

"They can digest and consume some crystal stones within their bodies to produce Dark Crystals and Flash Crystals."

"And even the legendary Seven-Colored Crystal!"
