"What? You want to sell me a city?"
Liu Feng's eyes widened as he stared at the white-haired old man in front of him, disbelief etched on his face.
"That's right, my friend. My territory, including a city, is all for sale to you,"Carter's aged voice was filled with sincerity.
"Let me process this for a moment!"
Liu Feng furrowed his brows. He was shocked and unsure. After conducting so many business deals, this was one of the most absurd things he had encountered.
Carter's eyes flickered, and he hurriedly said, "My friend, what are you worried about? Is it about status?"
Before Liu Feng could respond, he continued, "Don't worry about status. I'll sell you the noble title along with it."
Liu Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. He was tempted, but he was still cautious. "Carter, I don't understand why you would sell your territory and even give up your noble title."
"I'm old!"
Carter sighed. "I'm seventy years old this year. I don't have many years left to live, and my descendants are not competent. Selling the territory and moving to another big city for development is the best choice."
"........" Liu Feng didn't believe a word of it, but he still decided to ask, "What's the price?"
"Everything for a hundred gold coins!" Carter grinned, revealing a mouthful of black teeth, making an exorbitant demand.
"Poof..."
Liu Feng sprayed the water he had just sipped, staring wide-eyed and shouting, "Old man Carter, why don't you just go rob someone?!!"
He wasn't a newcomer to this world anymore. After a month of mixing around, he knew how enormous the value of a hundred gold coins was.
Carter wiped the water off his face and said indifferently, "That's a territory, a city, and a noble title of a baron. A hundred gold coins isn't expensive. In other places, it would be several times more... Ahem!"
Liu Feng smiled, gazing at the slightly embarrassed Carter. "You also know that's in other places. Thirty gold coins, that's all my savings."
"That's too low..." Carter tried to negotiate further, but seeing Liu Feng packing up to leave, he hurriedly shouted, "Alright, thirty gold coins, deal!"
Liu Feng glanced at Carter and said grumpily, "Carter, I suspect I'm still losing out with thirty gold coins."
"Haha... My friend, you won't lose out. Starting from tomorrow, you'll be a baron, a noble with your own territory." Carter revealed his black teeth and chuckled.
"I don't have thirty gold coins, only goods worth thirty gold coins. If you're willing, then it's a deal," Liu Feng sighed, his eyes filled with reluctance as he looked at the two large boxes behind him.
"Of course, it's a deal!" Carter shouted hurriedly.
After saying that, Carter hurriedly went to open the two boxes, but Liu Feng stopped him. "Old man Carter, don't rush. You need to convince me that what you're saying is true."
"Haha..." Carter revealed his black teeth and waved his hand. "No problem. You can follow me to the territory now. I'll announce it publicly and pass on the title to you. You can move into the castle tonight."
"Alright!"
A hint of a smile flashed in Liu Feng's eyes. He led the horse-drawn carriage, loaded the boxes onto it, and followed Carter and his group.
He looked at the team of more than ten people ahead of him. Their clothing was simple, and their behavior was peculiar. Every time he saw them, he felt incredibly amazed.
Liu Feng was a traveler, one who could travel back and forth between Earth and another world.
A month ago, he was at home watching anime when he accidentally got electrocuted and was transported to this world.
Then he discovered that he could travel back and forth between the two worlds once a day and possessed an inner space of two cubic meters. This was his golden finger.
Aside from the initial confusion, Liu Feng soon started his business as a middleman between the two worlds, bringing ordinary items from Earth here to sell and accumulating some wealth.
After a month of careful exploration and gathering information, Liu Feng reached a conclusion.
This was a fantastic world, also an era of cold weapons. The level of civilization was similar to that of Earth during the 7th century, a time when slavery and feudalism coexisted.
And today's Carter was one of his regular customers. Of course, he couldn't expect the old man to be generous and buy his things.
In Liu Feng's impression, Carter was a miserly noble. It was incredibly unbelievable that he would want to sell his territory and noble title this time.
Was this a trap? Liu Feng had considered this possibility. The other party hadn't directly brought people to rob his goods.
As for the rest, Liu Feng didn't care. He urgently needed a place to stay and a legal identity. He was confident that he could handle a few natives of this world.
"Being a noble seems pretty good too," Liu Feng's lips curved up as he muttered to himself, "It's not very comfortable to always camp outdoors without a place to settle down."
He decided that as long as the city wasn't too much of a rip-off, he would buy it. With his ability to travel between the two worlds, being a City Lord in this world seemed pretty great.
