Chapter 357: 357
Draco reached the townhall, noticing that Vishad was waiting for him outside it with some other stately looking fellows around him . There were more than a few of them, 98 to be precise .
After all, the total count of these villages in the inner section came up to 99 . Since every other lord of a village here wanted a piece of the treasure called Draco, they would naturally come and represent lest their people lose out .
When they saw him come up with Natasha behind him, these lords became excited . After all, the walking enlightenment that was Draco could bring their people new ideas and level up their creativity, bringing them to a new realm in their techniques!
Vishad quickly took the lead by greeting Draco . "Good day, Draco . I hope you're satisfied with the hospitality my Evergreen Village has provided you . "
His eyes focused on the reticent Natasha standing behind him, and her body trembled as she stood up straight and cast away her unwillingness . However, Vishad and every other lord here had seen her true face, so who was she trying to fool?
Vishad sighed internally and shook his head . You could lead the horse to the water, but you could not force it to drink . If this birdwoman who was hailed as the number 1 beauty of their village could not grasp this chance to soar above the clouds, it would be too late to jump on the train when the success hits .
In that sense, Ophie was a grand success . Though the halfling really did not know much about Draco's potential or what it meant to be a woman in the Morningstar Clan, she had successfully joined a family that women in the outside world would kill to join .
Even the slaves Riveting Night bought from the bazaar to be Draco's breeding incubators had a higher status and quality of life than princesses and noblewomen of many kingdoms .
The 28 human concubines were a tier higher, with statuses equivalent to the queen of a prominent kingdom . No matter where they went in the world, they would be treated with the highest respect with many entities fawning over them .
As for the almighty Four beauties, their statuses were supreme in the game world and in the real world . In the game world, even True Gods had acknowledged them, and all other species admitted their superiority .
In the real world, more than 900 million men worldwide would mobilize on their whims, with the rest contemplating whether or not they should risk it all . This was not something easily calculable .
Even though Vishad himself was not aware of these details, he could see from Draco's supreme talent in Tradeskills that he was likely extraordinary outside . And that was even more mindboggling when one realized his specification was as a combatant .
However, Vishad was too lazy to enlighten her . If she had no genuine interest, what was the use of forcing it? She would only experience unhappiness if she entered his life just for benefits when she truly wanted affection .
"These are the lords of the various villages of the inner section . They visited me to ask you for your wisdom in all matters pertaining to Tradeskills, hoping that you could enlighten their people as well . "
As Vishad said this, the other lords bowed and introduced themselves one by one . Draco made sure to remember their names and that of their villages, as he would require their services to integrate the natives into Vita City-State .
"Well, I do not see a problem with that, but I have my own pursuits to follow . I shall visit each village in my own leisure and impart what I can, this is the most I can promise you . " Draco replied calmly .
While the lords were slightly disappointed, they still made sure to thank Draco . After all, he was practically giving them something priceless for free, so how could they dare to be greedy about it?
Draco did this because he couldn't just giver handouts . The people of Evergreen got to enjoy this benefit because they had housed him and provided him with resources - that he stole - and two beauties for his consumption .
The others had only shown their dog faces and wanted the same benefits? How could such a deal work? Such a thing would be the worst trade deal, in the history of trade deals, maybe ever .
Draco might not have overtly stated this, but these fellows possessed the Politician class, so how could they miss the undertones? Even if they didn't have the class, as seasoned lords, they could see this much .
Quickly, a lord of a nearby village called the Oak Village bowed to Draco and sycophantically said: "If Lord Draco visits, we'll be sure to allocate you two of our village's greatest beauties as your maids, just let us know your taste . "
Natasha gazed at this geezer with disdain . Selling away those poor girls for the benefit of the village as a whole? Despicable!
Of course, the exact circumstances made it more of a grey area, because there was a 100% chance they'd be willing if Draco released his aura, but he didn't like to rely on it . Not only that, but the enlightenment of their family and friend - shit, even themselves - might move them enough to do what they needed to do .
Of course, that was just adding perfume on shit . At the core of it all was a practice that Natasha found disgusting since she herself had been subjected to it, but what could she do?
She was lucky that Draco wasn't forceful already, otherwise she would have ended up like Doris .
As for Draco, he chuckled and didn't reject their advance . "Use her as a template . "
He gestured to Natasha, making the birdwoman blush . She finally understood why he singled her out and wanted her near him all the time while he was very lax towards Ophie .
