"At a time like this, you're still worrying about whether it's a waste or not!"
Ethan said speechlessly, "Old White, just give me a straight answer. Can you handle this witch or not? If you can't, say it now! Then I can hurry up and take everyone and run!"
"Why do I need to handle this witch?"
Mr. White looked at Ethan strangely, "And this wilderness witch named Marin is already more than a thousand years old. Her magic power is even stronger than that of a grand archmage."
"And I'm just an ordinary merchant. I'm only a hundred and fifty two years old this year. What do you think I have to fight her with?"
"Uh…", Ethan was instantly left speechless at this "ordinary" one hundred and fifty two year old man.
Still, he didn't believe that White had no trump cards at all and could remain this calm. If he really knew he couldn't win, shouldn't he have run away already?
This matter had nothing to do with the caravan in the first place.
Not only did the caravan not run, it even came out to help. No matter how you looked at it, it felt strange.
"Then what are you planning to do?"
Even though Ethan suspected this guy had bad intentions, he still couldn't help asking.
Mr. White smiled, "What to do? A merchant's duty is naturally business. Of course, I'm here to do business with the wilderness witch."
After saying that, Mr. White suddenly snapped his fingers.
Immediately, Ethan heard a loud clatter coming from the pet shed.
It was like something had burst apart. Countless metallic odds and ends smashed onto nearby wooden boards and the ground, making a chaotic racket.
Then…
BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM!
Earth shaking sounds echoed from inside the pet shed.
Very soon, Ethan saw a green cyclops walk out from inside.
The green cyclops was over five meters tall, completely naked, with a huge worm hanging from its body and swinging back and forth at its waist.
And on its bald head, there was only a single enormous eye.
That lone eye was constantly rolling around.
"This…"
"Isn't that your merchandise?"
After a moment of shock, Ethan quickly recognized it. This was the cyclops Mr. White had kept on the wooden cart, priced at a staggering five hundred thousand dragon coins. How did this thing come out too?
"That's right. If you don't show the goods, how are you supposed to sell them?", Mr. White laughed.
Ethan was even more confused.
He really couldn't see what kind of business this old fox was trying to do with the witch.
"ROAR!"
The cyclops staggered into the garden.
At this moment, the witches flying in midair seemed to irritate it, and it suddenly flew into a rage.
The cyclops stretched out its long arms, each over two meters long, and slapped toward the witches in the air.
It was like swatting mosquitoes.
Naturally, the witches were not about to let a giant act so wildly. Marin stared angrily at the cyclops in the garden.
"You big idiot. Even you dare provoke me? Looks like it's been too long since someone taught you how to respect a wilderness witch, hasn't it?"
"ROAR!"
But the cyclops seemed to have no intelligence at all.
It simply raised its hand angrily and slapped again. With its height and exaggerated arm span, it actually managed to easily hit the wilderness witch Marin in midair.
But when that massive hand, capable of slapping even a dragon to death, came crashing down on the wilderness witch.
Marin calmly raised her wand and effortlessly blocked the half meter wide giant hand.
"Hmph! Courting death!"
The tip of Marin's wand instantly released a bolt of lightning, striking the cyclops directly.
At that moment, the cyclops looked as if it had been struck by lightning.
It quickly withdrew its hand.
"Roaar!"
The cyclops, shocked by the electricity, became even more furious.
Clutching its trembling palm, its single eye rapidly turned red. Then it let out a furious roar and shot a massive bolt of lightning straight from its giant eye… Straight toward Marin.
"So incorrigible!"
Marin waved her wand and easily dispersed the lightning released by the cyclops.
Then she waved her wand again, releasing a green light toward the cyclops, and said coldly, "In that case, go die!"
BOOM!
That loving green light struck the cyclops directly in the eye.
After that… Ethan saw the cyclops's single eye rapidly twist and swell.
At this moment, the cyclops finally knew fear. Its entire face twisted in terror, but before it could react, its giant eye began to bubble and boil.
Then that boiling effect actually started spreading to its massive head.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
The cyclops screamed in agony.
Its entire head began to swell rapidly as well.
Finally—
BOOM!
The cyclops's head followed in the footsteps of the sea siren.
It exploded outright.
The headless cyclops dropped to its knees…
Collapsed, dead…
"Hehehe!"
Marin stared coldly at the villa cafeteria and sneered, "Little lord, is this all you've got? If you have any other tricks, you'd better use them now. Otherwise, I'm going to make my move!"
It felt like a cat playing with a mouse.
The wilderness witch's strength surpassed Ethan's by an enormous margin, so she didn't care what schemes he used at all. Raw power crushed all tricks.
The reason she hadn't immediately killed the lord and slaughtered the entire villa, was simply because, she hadn't had enough fun with her prey yet.
"Gulp!"
Ethan quietly swallowed.
He really wanted to say that the last two had nothing to do with him, and if she wanted someone, she should go after the shady merchant instead.
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
But before Ethan could speak.
Mr. White suddenly started applauding and slowly walked out into the garden.
"Lady Marin, long time no see."
"You are?"
Hearing Mr. White greet her, Marin looked puzzled.
She showed no sign of recognizing an old acquaintance. Instead, she looked more confused about why the person in front of her seemed to know her.
Seeing the wilderness witch's reaction to White, Ethan's heart sank.
He had originally thought that Mr. White was very familiar with this witch, and that maybe everyone could sit down and talk things out.
But now it seemed she didn't even know him at all, what was there left to talk about?
"I am a merchant, White."
After speaking, Mr. White immediately bowed to the wilderness witch and said, "May I ask if Lady Marin is satisfied with my goods? If so, please pay up. The total comes to six hundred thousand dragon coins."
