Normally, selling for 3000 to 4500 golden crowns is quite appropriate. This price ensures that even if the Kingdom Knight’s Territory saves up until the end of time, it won’t be able to afford a Champion Knight. As for a Baron’s Territory, even with a higher tax revenue scale, after covering the huge military expenditure and territory maintenance costs, it would take years, even decades, of fiscal surplus to buy a Champion Knight.

Only in the territory of a Count or a Duke is a Champion Knight relatively easy to come by, and it’s only in the Elector’s Territory that you can see Champion-level knights serving as Knight Commanders. Su Li had a rough idea of this when he departed from Bauhinia Castle. At that time, he was very proud that the combat effectiveness of the army he had built was already comparable to that of an Elector’s Territory; it was just that its scale was equivalent to a small squad of an Elector’s Territory.

But Su Li really didn’t expect that such a female Vampire would actually be sold for 11,500 golden crowns? There are truly many wealthy people in this world.

Su Li decisively waved his hand and said, "I only earned 9000 golden crowns from selling so many witchcraft items to President Roger. Even if I gave them all back to you, President Roger, I still couldn’t afford such a vase."

President Roger laughed heartily: "That’s because the Bauhinia Knight has not yet experienced the pleasure of conquering a Vampire. They swallow human primordial qi and essence, their suction far surpassing that of humans and Elves. Besides, they only suck blood, not consuming grains, and they don’t need to excrete; their digestive tracts are clean, making them the most suitable toys." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Tsk, you guys play with real flowers. Compared to them, Su Li felt like he was utterly pure. Seeing it this way, Su Li felt he didn’t need to worry about being corroded by sado, after all, there were so many more perverted individuals ahead, his behavior wasn’t even worthy of the Joy Prince’s gaze.

Then Su Li exhaled lightly, left this cage gate, and proceeded inside, where he found, of all things, a powerful Minotaur being held!

Su Li widened his eyes and asked, "How do you even have such terrifying slaves? Shouldn’t they be executed directly?"

President Roger smiled and said, "Direct execution would indeed be too wasteful. In fact, many nobles and Knight Orders purchase such terrifying monsters for training purposes. This is a powerful Doomsday Bull; I believe you’ve heard tales from travelers about similar creatures. These beings worship those sudden stone idols or piles of stones, sometimes offering their enemies’ bodies to these rock totems (Beast Herd Stones). Brave heroes who enter the holy land guarded by Minotaurs, filled with dark power, end up in its belly."

It was Su Li’s first time having such close and safe contact with this mighty Minotaur, famous in all adventure stories; he curiously observed it closely and asked: "What is the relationship between these Minotaurs and Beastmen?"

"Many people mistakenly call them Minotaurs, but their true name is Ox Horn Beasts. The current scholarly view is that Ox Horn Beasts are close relatives of the Great Horned Beasts. Before undergoing some unknown corruption, they might have been more similar to humans. However, none of this can be verified, as no human has engaged in prolonged communication with these towering bovine monsters. Ox Horn Beasts are strong and robust, with an almost frenzied thirst for blood and flesh. They are the elite troop of the Beastmen, although they reluctantly accept the term ’Beastmen’ referring to their wild nature. Though ordinary Minotaurs have some strategic minds and concepts like forming alliances for benefits, their existence is purely to devour or crush their enemies into pulp."

"Ox Horn Beast tribes, comprised of Ox Horn Beasts, are a typical War Beast Group. Although these beings have close ties with areas filled with primal instincts and unclean magic, they have already spread widely across the Mortal Realms, wreaking havoc under the influence of their own bloodlust. Members of the War Beast Group are usually linked by blood, but their savagery leads to frequent infighting among the herd, conflicts that can only be halted by the Doomsday Bull or stronger kin within the group. The relationships between Ox Horn Beasts and their larger counterparts, the Minotaur Giants (Four-armed Minotaurs) and One-Eyed Giant Bulls, are unclear, but something about their appearance suggests a connection; the Minotaur Giants and One-Eyed Giant Bulls might be a result of Minotaurs roaming the wilds too long or mutating from eating too much meat at once."

"The Doomsday Bull and Four-armed Minotaurs can unleash the power of their bloodline, stomping the ground to generate shockwaves, slowing the charge of dozens of knights, and the strongest Four-armed Minotaurs and One-Eyed Giant Bulls can release a shockwave with one attack, leaving an elite Knight Battle Group incapacitated, stunned, and immobilized, breaking their charge. Thus, purchasing one and training knights to counter such tactics is indeed necessary."

Su Li nodded, reminding him, "So make sure not to sell it hastily; the Empire’s Grand Campaign is likely targeting Oka Mountain in the Border Prince’s Territory, and many knights will be interested in battling powerful Doomsday Bulls."

"Oh?" President Roger looked at Su Li with great interest and asked, "The Bauhinia Knight actually has inside information on the Empire’s highest echelons?"
