Reincarnated As An Orc Slave, A Beautiful Princess Redeemed Me - Chapter 21

Chapter 21 A Worshipper of Kallius

This was the first time in Lin Lei’s two lives that he had taken such a long bath. It was surprisingly physically draining.

Although he had eaten many desserts, as soon as he left the bathhouse, Lin Lei’s stomach began to growl.

It was not easy for him to persevere till dinnertime in his cell.

Thud!

The female slave placed the bowl on the ground heavily, and the soup spilled out. “Eat.”

Her tone was as terrible. It was as if she was feeding a dog. Lin Lei felt rather helpless. How could she still be angry?

Daisy watched this scene with great interest.

“Hey, Daisy, guess what I did after the match today?”

Lin Lei chuckled, not feeling embarrassed at all.

“You took a bath in the most luxurious bathhouse in Talantum. What else could you have done?”

“How do you know?”

“The bathhouse in Talantum has pipeline water, and only that bathhouse provides natural hot spring water. I can smell the sulfur on you from a kilometer away.

“It’s not hard to guess. Besides, you have a special rose essential oil smell on you. The prostitutes your master found for you aren’t low class.”

At this time, the female slave had already delivered Daisy’s meal and left without looking back.

Daisy picked up a glistening chicken leg and stuffed it into her mouth. She chewed the

chicken bone as easily as she chewed on a biscuit.

“Alright.” Lin Lei laughed awkwardly. “I went to the bathing pool to bring you some good news.’

“I know. Your value has doubled.”

Daisy replied lazily. Clearly, she was not very interested in this piece of good news.

“This can be considered good news for me, but it has something to do with you as well. “What does it have to do with me?”

Hearing Lin Lei’s words, Daisy swallowed the

chicken bone that she had just chewed up, then

asked curiously.

“Do you have work for me?”

“Yup.” Hearing Daisy’s question, Lin Lei

nodded.

“That’s the good news I want to tell you. I’ve

already spoken to Tallius. He’ll send me to

Gladiator School to learn martial arts, and I can

appoint you as my martial arts teacher. Daisy,

martial arts teachers earn a salary, and I heard

that the salary is quite good.”

Daisy looked at the excited Lin Lei, her eyes

almost rolling to the sky.

“Who wants to be your martial arts teacher? I

didn’t agree to this.”

“You don’t agree?”

“Did I say I would agree?”

Hearing Daisy’s words, Lin Lei’s entire body

immediately withered.

“Why don’t you agree to it?”

“I have enough money now. Why should I

teach you just because you want me to?” “Daisy, good Daisy, just agree to be my teacher. I know you’re the best.”

Lin Lei blinked his watery, fox eyes, his hands pressed together against his chin as his upper body swayed left and right. This look of his made him seem so pitiful, yet it also made people’s hearts soften.

“Don’t give me that.”

Daisy’s face was red, and she turned her head,

not looking at Lin Lei. She gritted her teeth.

“Daisy, Daisy, you know me. I admire you the most. Please be my teacher.” Lin Lei continued

to act that way.

“You… So what if you admire me?”

“No matter what, ever since you taught me the Manggus Breathing Technique, I’ve already treated you as my teacher. Daisy, you’re my teacher, so teach me more things.”

Daisy pursed her lips and drew the curtain.

“I don’t care, I don’t care! Daisy, just teach

me!”

“Don’t be noisy!” Daisy pulled open the straw

curtain and roared viciously at Lin Lei.

“Then promise to teach me martial arts.

“Alright, alright, alright, I’ll teach you.” Daisy

seemed to have been pestered by Lin Lei to the point of no return, so she impatiently agreed. “Daisy, I knew you were the best.” Lin Lei instantly beamed with joy. “What are you talking about? How thick-skinned!” Daisy glared at Lin Lei, then pulled the straw curtain back up.

The drowsy-eyed Lin Lei let out a long yawn.

“It’s the middle of the night. Aren’t you sleeping?” He shook his head hard to clear his

mind, then looked at the masked man in front

of him.

“There were a lot of things to do during the day, so I haven’t congratulated you on your miraculous victory over The Butcher. Now, the title of Bull Butcher has become famous among

the gladiators.”

The masked man’s voice was calm without the

slightest hint of guilt for disturbing Lin Lei’s

sleep.

“Am I really that famous now?” Lin Lei was a bit surprised. Although Tullius had already told him that his stage name was

known by almost everyone who watched the gladiator tournament today, this still made him feel a bit uncomfortable.

“Isn’t it already a miracle that you were able to defeat a monster with an innate spell?” The masked man continued to chuckle. “Oh

right, we lost big this time. You won the second biggest bet in this round, a total of 2,200 silver coins!

“This amount of money is enough to buy slaves and form a 500-man team. To be honest, I really don’t want to give you this

money.”

Hearing the masked man’s complaints, Lin Lei did not feel anything. They had sworn an oath to the gods, so he was not worried that the

masked man would go back on his word. He sharply noticed something and asked, “Could it be that there’s someone who bet more than me?”

The masked man’s eyes flickered under the

mask as he said, “It’s better if you don’t know about this.

“Let’s not talk about this first. This sum of money is quite large. There’ll be many inconveniences if you keep it in prison. “I can help you keep it. What do you think?”

“Can I trust you?” Lin Lei asked. The masked man pointed at his hood and said

in a gentle tone, “In Talantum, I’m dressed like this to represent a sacrifice.

“I forgot to tell you that I serve the God of War, Kallius.”

“Alright, I’ll leave my assets to you.”

Lin Lei was slightly startled, but then he suddenly understood.

The memories of the original owner of this

body came back to him. Although Kallius was the God of War, he was also the God of Commerce, so many merchants worshipped him.

In addition to providing spiritual comfort, the temple of Kallius could also be used as a storage for valuables and money.

In other words, the temple could be used as a

bank. After knowing the might of the gods, Lin Lei trusted in the credibility of these people. It was the most appropriate arrangement.

Hearing Lin Lei agree, the masked man let out a sigh of relief.

Lana had taken away too many silver coins, so

he could not take out too many silver coins at

once.

he

If this orc really wanted the coins from him, would be in a difficult position. However, the masked man quickly switched to

merchant mode.

“By the way, don’t you think it’s a pity to keep

such a large sum of money?”

The masked man asked after a moment of

silence.

“A pity?” Lin Lei did not quite understand what the masked man meant.

“What I mean is, if you keep your money, you’ll only have the same amount.”

The masked man walked over to Lin Lei and sat

down in front of him.

“If you use this money to make some investments, you can make more money and turn it into greater wealth.”

“You’re right, but you’ve seen my current situation.”

Lin Lei laughed bitterly, raising his chin. The

masked man looked toward the direction Lin

Lei was looking, which was the iron gates of the prison.

“If you trust me, I can invest on your behalf. Of course, we’ll share the profits once it’s done.”

Lin Lei lowered his head, deep in thought. He had seen for himself how unscrupulous this masked man was as a businessman. Having him invest on his behalf was not a bad idea.
