Chapter 873: Chapter 329: Hidden Space Compartment, Striking It Rich!
Cao Xing pushed the door open.
A female corpse suddenly appeared in front of him.
Cao Xing paused for a moment, “Another female corpse?”
It should be noted that during the last sacrificial ritual of the Light Church, nearly all life in the city was sacrificed.
And to preserve a corpse, it’s usually not an ordinary existence.
Cao Xing walked over and took a look.
He found this woman’s appearance extremely beautiful.
Her silver hair, as smooth as a waterfall, lay scattered on the ground.
Under her delicate features, there was a hint of tranquility and a peaceful feeling.
The most attention-grabbing were her pointed ears drooping down to the floor.
Cao Xing glanced around.
[Elf Clan: The body of Nelida…]
(The corpse of a pure-blood elf, captured by slave traders for some reason, eventually ended up at the Illusion Dream Tavern.)
…
“Good heavens, it’s actually the body of an elf!”
Cao Xing was instantly shocked.
No wonder the pricing outside was so high, Illusion Dream Tavern can even capture such creatures, truly a sign of considerable power.
This time, the system note included the word ’corpse’.
This indicates that the elf is indeed dead.
Speaking of which, this was the first time Cao Xing saw a pure-blood elf in this world.
And the result was a corpse.
Cao Xing also noticed the system note afterward.
“So this female elf was caught by those slave traders.”
“Those sand sculpture players earlier said that taverns in large cities might have female elf services, turns out it was true?”
Cao Xing couldn’t help but marvel at the audacity of these slave traders.
After all, the Elf Clan is a sacred and powerful race.
If not for their low reproduction ability, the most populous race in this world wouldn’t be the Human Clan.
Being a sacred race, they absolutely would not tolerate their kind ending up in such places for those guys to vent and toy with.
Once discovered, they would hunt these slave traders to the ends of the earth.
Many syndicates have been destroyed due to revenge from the Elf Clan, and those captured slave traders are subjected to the cruelest punishments.
Skinning and the drawing of tendons are the least of their worries!
Some extreme elves might even massacre a city to warn the world.
Nevertheless, the value of the Elf Clan is too high.
Any pure-blood elf is worth at least a few million Crowns!
At least!
Moreover, these premium goods are often auctioned.
Some nobles or wealthy individuals regularly attend auctions for years, accumulating a great deal of money, just to purchase an elf.
Therefore, every elf slave is sold at a very high price.
This is why those slave traders are willing to take enormous risks to capture the elves.
If they catch one, they hit the jackpot!
Even the corpse of an elf is worth a significant amount.
Cao Xing certainly wouldn’t entertain such vile thoughts.
Instead, he placed her corpse in a hidden corner, casually casting a Magic Seal to prevent harm from those cultists.
As he prepared to leave the room, curiosity compelled him to search the room thoroughly.
Sure enough, beneath a loose floorboard, Cao Xing discovered a secret compartment.
After opening the secret compartment, he found a small pouch.
Inside were ten to twenty thousand Crowns, seemingly all the savings of this female elf.
In addition, there was a letter.
[Received Letter: Nelida’s Letter to Her Sister…]
Cao Xing opened it and took a glance, only to discover it was written in a peculiar script that he couldn’t understand.
“This should be the Elf Language, right?”
“I’ll ask Sarah to see if she can translate the contents of the letter when I get back.”
Cao Xing shook his head.
Leaving the female elf’s room, he returned to the hallway.
Only the last room remained unexplored now.
So far, the yields from this tavern weren’t much, compared to the grand decor and prime location.
Just finding tens of thousands of Crowns is somewhat meager.
Cao Xing thought to himself, “I hope the last room will surprise me.”
He walked straight to the end of the corridor.
Arriving in front of the iron door, which had no plaque hanging on it.
Cao Xing pushed the door open.
“Creak!”
Inside, it seemed like another ordinary room.
Aside from some wooden tables, chairs, and benches, there was just a simple small wood bed.
Shaking his head, Cao Xing sighed, “Looks like this tavern indeed doesn’t have good stuff.”
Yet to be cautious, lest something is overlooked.
He decided to thoroughly search once more.
However, after spending three minutes, searching nearly every corner of this storage room, he found nothing.
Just as he was about to give up, [True Vision] suddenly detected something amiss.
In a certain corner of the room, there seemed to be an unusual fluctuation.
Not a magical fluctuation, but a more special sort.
“Hmm? Is there really something here?”
Cao Xing leaned closer to take a look.
A system prompt appeared in front of him.
[Hidden Space Compartment: 1 Cubic]
[Current Status: Closed]
(Note: A hidden space compartment, there might be something inside.)
…
“It’s actually a hidden space compartment.”
[Space Compartment] is a special hiding method used by the natives of this world.
Sometimes, when they’ve acquired something important or amassed some wealth, it’s unsafe to keep it in the basement, nor can they carry it around.
So they hide these things in such space compartments.
