Chapter 1186.2: Blood Storm
Su Xiao placed the small scroll in his inventory.
He didn't expect that he would have to perform his duties as an Iron Hand tonight already.
When Su Xiao walked out of the hall, he saw Bubtney staring at the royal Guard with his big eyes. The guardsman himself stood with his back straight and stared back at Bubtni.
The guardsman's heart was shaking right now. He knew about the origin of this dog, so he couldn't offend it.
Seeing Su Xiao walk out of the hall, Bubtney shook his head, clearly wanting to say that he would spare this guardsman this time, but next time...
After Su Xiao left the palace, he went straight to the Iron Hand residence.
Ten minutes later, Su Xiao returned to his residence and decided to inspect it thoroughly.
The courtyard was large, but it was overgrown with grass, as it had not been tended for a long time. The pool was half-dry, and there wasn't a single living thing in the pale green water.
Su Xiao was surprised when he realized that there were no servants in the Iron Hand residence. Well, the two maids were technically there, but they looked to be around ten years old.
In fact, Iron Hand had servants in the past, but they were all banished by him. As for the two maids who were executed, they were not executed for falling asleep while warming his bed, but for being spies sent by other officials.
Given the Iron Hand's work front, if there were spies living in his residence, it would eventually lead to a fatal disaster sooner or later.
Because Iron Hand couldn't find any servants that he could trust, he bought two slave girls from a slave trader, those two little girls.
There were laws that prohibited human trafficking, but there was one exception — it wasn't forbidden to trade people with undead blood.
The undead are humanoid creatures, and over time they have learned to produce offspring from humans. Such offspring began to be called hybrids, and a small number of such hybrids eventually fell into slavery. A person could only be recognized as a hybrid if the undead blood in their body was twice as much as normal human blood.
The hybrids weren't dangerous and they didn't have any special abilities, at least not yet revealed. The only difference was that they were stronger than ordinary people, that's all.
There were practically no advantages, but there were big disadvantages. According to research, hybrids lived half the size of ordinary people and ten times less than the real undead.
Most hybrids lived no more than 40 years.
The purchase of two hybrids cost Iron Hand a round sum of gold. They didn't know how to fight, but they were good at the usual household chores, cooking, warming the bed, and other matters. More importantly, the probability that they were spies was virtually zero.
As soon as Su Xiao entered the courtyard of his residence, Amu stepped towards him, holding half of a large stone in his hand.
As for why it was half a large rock, the teeth marks on it could explain a lot.
But Su Xiao didn't expect that Amu was so hungry that he decided to eat the rock. If he left this bull in this residence for a couple of days, it would most likely end up being eaten by this guy.
Fortunately, he wasn't the last person in this kingdom, so there wouldn't be any problems with Amu's food supply.
When Su Xiao opened the bedroom doors, he found that the two little girls were still standing in the corner, their shoulders shaking from time to time.
Su Xiao sat down on a wooden chair, took out a cigarette and lit it. — You two, come to me.
The two little girls turned around. By this time, they had already stopped crying and quickly ran over to Su Xiao and immediately knelt down in front of him.
— If you dare to cry again, I will kill you, " Su Xiao said as he exhaled smoke. Right now, he was hesitating and didn't know if he should have kicked these two girls out of the residence or not. If he puts them out, no one will be able to stop him, but then it will definitely attract unnecessary attention to his person.
Su Xiao's words had an immediate effect. Just a second earlier, they were about to cry again, but as soon as they heard his words, they immediately started to pull themselves together.
One of them had two tails, while the other had a single ponytail.
— Tell me what you can do.
He wanted to know why Iron Hand had bought these two girls. He didn't think that such a person would buy these two girls because of their beauty.
— Master, we can do laundry and cook... " The younger one immediately said. She was clearly clearly smarter than her older one, as she immediately started listing everything they could do, and could do well.
Her older sister looked stupid and a little embarrassed, but she was probably just afraid to say anything right now.
— Then prepare food for all of us, you don't have to do other things, just cooking will be enough.
— Really? Master, will you not punish us? The older sister asked, causing her younger sister to give her a look like she wanted to bite her to shut up right now.
— I'll give it to you... one hour.
— Alright, master, our cooking skills will definitely appeal to you, " the younger girl said and smiled, but what she didn't know was that when Su Xiao said "prepare food for all of us", he was basically referring to Ama.
Considering how much Amu usually ate, making enough food for him was definitely not an easy task.
If the two sisters can solve the Amu problem, then they will be very useful.
If not, they will be useless.
