The City of Weilu is now in a stage of rapid expansion. Although the army already has a strong combat effectiveness, it is still far from enough. In addition, the new map of the underground world was included in his development plan, which required more troops to take over. The cold-blooded cavalry is currently the most efficient and powerful army, and it is not difficult to cultivate. As long as there are enough wetland lizardmen, they can quickly form an army. The information about the wetland lizard people that was refreshed by intelligence alone was no longer able to meet the expansion needs of the territory. If a sufficient number of wetland lizardmen could be purchased, they could directly meet current needs. Seeing that Lear didn't speak, McCann realized that he had made a mistake and quickly apologized. "I'm sorry, sir, I made a mistake. I didn't intend to know your thoughts." "There are 5 brigades of wetland lizardmen. There are a lot of them. They are difficult to purchase in a short time." "But I heard from another chamber of commerce that there are thousands of wetland lizard slaves for sale. I will ask someone to inquire immediately!" "As for the remaining balance, I can purchase it from other cities in the north through internal channels. However, the price may be higher, and it will take one to two weeks to get an exact reply."
Wetland lizardmen are ferocious and tyrannical, disobedient to discipline, and even the ring of enslavement that can directly act on the soul cannot suppress their ferocity. It is not popular in the slave market, and only exotic places like the Colosseum will buy some on a small scale. The essential need of buying slaves is to solve their own problems, and the wetland lizard people themselves are the problem. Lear's eyes lit up. Really? And as soon as I opened my mouth, there were thousands of people! "Then I'll trouble President McCann." Sure enough, it can expand faster through acquisitions in big cities like Lorain City. Searching slowly in the wilderness or waiting for information to be refreshed is too inefficient. However, the funds required for this transaction will definitely not be small. Last time, I was able to buy two squadrons of wetland lizardmen for 1,000 gold coins, purely relying on the advantage of intelligence. A normal purchase of a level 6 mid-level knight slave costs around 50 gold coins. Even if there were only 1,000 people, it would still cost 50,000 gold coins. An ordinary worker in Lorraine City can earn three to five gold coins after working for one year. Some ordinary barons, earls and nobles may not be able to get so much money even if they empty their wealth. Building an army costs huge amounts of money. It would be nice to have no money to play an arms race and just wait to be harvested. This is also why Lear is eager to establish various industries in the city of Weilu. Without sufficient and stable resource support, it is unrealistic to maintain a strong army. Just buying manpower can overwhelm him. Future protection expenditures will be even more exaggerated.
McCann nodded repeatedly. "That's as it should be." "Sir, do you need any more slaves?" "Are there any swamp people left?" "Yes, but they are not popular slaves. It is expected that they can gather three or five squadrons." "Okay, help me ask about the price and confirm the quantity." "In addition, I also need to purchase a group of craftsman slaves." Lear and McCann talked in depth. Currently, Weilu City is short of manpower in all aspects. Although many slaves were obtained during this period, they were not high-level talents and could only engage in low-end jobs. And the high-level talents he urgently needs are the engine for territory development. The best way at present is to buy a group of backbones, and at the same time train them yourself, so that the old can lead the new, and they will soon be able to stand up. After talking in detail for two hours, Lear got everything he wanted and gained an intuitive understanding of the slave market. Generally speaking, it still operates according to the most basic rules-the higher the value of the slave, the higher the selling price. Ordinary slaves can basically be bought for about ten gold coins. Many civilians with a little money at home like to buy them to serve as slaves. As the level increases, the price will skyrocket. The technical craftsman slaves he wanted most were priced the same as high-level slaves, and were in the first echelon. And the quantity is very small, so it is difficult to buy on a large scale. When knowledge was monopolized by the nobles, most of these slaves were captured from the wilderness, had no systematic knowledge, and the craftsman level was low. On the contrary, there are enough combat slaves. If he wants to buy orc slaves, high-level knights above level 10 can immediately buy several brigades. Of course, the price of these slaves is also very beautiful, and ordinary high-ranking nobles cannot afford them. Lear was in a good mood after coming out of Longya Chamber of Commerce. Basically, McCann gave him exact answers to the slaves he wanted. What we have to do now is to wait for the other party to contact them one by one. Also prepare funds. He can show his face in front of Feilena, but those slave traders don't know who he is. The money that should be paid cannot be less. The road to selling equipment must be paved.
He doesn't have that much extra money. Leaving the slave market, Brando, who was acting as a tool man today, drove the unicorn under him to quickly approach, raising his head and asking. "Sir, the White Crow Chamber of Commerce currently only has two shops facing the street. Should we rent a few more?" The seventh block is the headquarters of the White Crow Chamber of Commerce. The real external shops are in other streets, but they are not far away, about ten minutes away. "How far is our store from the Mercenary Association?" "About half an hour away." "That's not necessary. Find a few people to go to the tavern near the Mercenary Association to spread the news, let the people inside know that the White Crow Merchants have a complete set of 2-star armor for sale, and the attributes are outstanding. In a few days, they will naturally come." "Sir, is this method too simple? The Mercenary Association is surrounded by weapon shops, no one will go so far. We have tried it when doing other trades." "Simple? Who told you to tell others without any reason? Find a few actors and let them clash in the tavern. One of them wears armor, and the others wear leather armor, or ordinary armor." "Have a bloody fight to highlight the characteristics of armor, such as the indestructible knife and the indestructible fire. Wearing armor makes those who wear leather armor become clowns and be abused. " "After winning, I accidentally let it slip that I bought the armor from the White Crow Chamber of Commerce." "Do you think it will attract those mercenaries who are willing to sacrifice their lives?" "Sir, those guys will definitely come! Carrying out a mission in the wilderness is risking your life, and a good set of armor is your second life!" "No one will miss this opportunity." "Okay, then arrange it later. Remember, find someone who can do things cleanly and neatly, so that there will be no problems halfway." "Yes! Don't worry, I have channels in this regard. When I was in the black market before, I met many people who do this business." After this topic was over, Lear suddenly thought of something and asked. "Is there a place to sell books in Loran City?" Brendo looked a little strange. "Sir, only those noble lords and sects have a large collection of books in Loran City. Privately selling books is against the imperial law." "If you are caught, you will be sentenced to more than ten years in prison at the lightest, and directly executed at the worst." The monopoly of knowledge is by no means an empty talk. The nobles and sects even forcibly formulated laws for this. It is almost impossible for civilians to learn advanced knowledge on their own. Even civilians are against the law to spread books privately. Lear also felt the impact from the feudal slave society. These guys are really cruel. In modern times, we are used to being able to search for all kinds of professional knowledge on the Internet, even nuclear bomb manufacturing technology, rocket manufacturing drawings, and suddenly come to this kind of knowledge monopoly environment. I can feel the strong constraints and oppression brought by sects and nobles.
They just want to completely cut off the upward channel for ordinary people and maintain their class rule. If you want to climb up, you can only be their dog. And it seems that the nobles and sects have reached a strong tacit understanding and formed an alliance. It seems that I can only go to Philena for this matter. Lear lost his sex. There was no conversation along the way. At noon, the group returned to the White Crow Chamber of Commerce. He had just come down from behind the Swamp Giant Horned Deer King, and he saw several figures who had been waiting for a long time approaching from the side. When Brando saw them, he stopped and frowned slightly. "President Raul, is there anything?" He had no good feelings for Raul, the president of the Rhino Chamber of Commerce, who wanted to coerce and bribe him to hand over the armor channel yesterday. Although someone was sent to send a message to cancel the debt later, he had clearly felt the malice. Don't think the other party said so well. Once he got into trouble, he would be the first to jump out and add insult to injury. He believed that business, like being a person, must have a bottom line. Maybe without a bottom line, you can make more money, but one day you will be bitten back. Raul, with a big belly, a fat face, and big eyes full of shrewdness, showed a bit of apologetic smile on his face. "President Brando, yesterday was purely a misunderstanding. Please don't take what I said to you to heart. Our debts are written off. It's all our apology for our impoliteness." He looked at Lear cautiously. "This lord is so heroic and dignified. He must be the new owner of the White Crow Chamber of Commerce." "Let me introduce you two. This is the eldest son of Earl Henry, Master Riel Henry." "Rhino Chamber of Commerce is the subordinate chamber of commerce of Master Raven." "We came here in person mainly to apologize to you." The descendant of the Henry family, who was in his early thirties and dressed luxuriously, immediately bowed humbly. "Yes, sir, Raven apologizes for yesterday's impoliteness." As soon as the voice fell, Lear suddenly seemed to sense something and turned his head to look at the other side. In his sight, a carriage wrapped in redbud flowers slowly drove over. The green plants seemed to be rooted in the carriage, full of vitality. Nine pure white unicorns stepped on the stone slabs, making a crisp sound with a unique rhythm. Raven Henry, the heir to the earldom, also noticed something strange and subconsciously stood up and turned to look. The moment he saw the carriage, his breath suddenly stagnated and his heart beat wildly. A bad feeling rose in his heart.
This, this is Raul, the president of the Rhino Chamber of Commerce, his pupils were bulging, and he subconsciously took a few steps back, his legs were shaking. The unique carriage slowly drove to the door of the White Crow Chamber of Commerce and stopped beside them. The door opened. A slender and graceful figure in a green dress stepped down and stood firmly on the ground. His eyes swept around and finally stopped at Lear, with a smile on his face, his right hand on his chest, and he bowed. "Good day, Lord Lear." "Your Highness asked me to customize a plaque for your chamber of commerce yesterday." "It has been completed after working overnight last night." "Please take a look" After the words fell, the maid who drove the carriage took out a log-colored plaque from the carriage. It is more than two meters long, and it has four characters written on it in Common Language - White Crow Chamber of Commerce. The illiterate staff looked at it and the name of the Chamber of Commerce immediately came to mind. Second Ring Magic - Text Knowledge. Brando looked at the lower right corner of the plaque with dull eyes and froze in place. There was a striking rose flower engraved there. Your Highness, Your Highness Philena? ! In Loland City, how many people can be called His Highness? Thinking of what Lear said yesterday, I suddenly felt difficulty breathing, and my whole body felt dizzy, as if I was above the clouds. Raven Henry and Raul, who had big eyes and a shrewd face, even swallowed their saliva and were deeply shocked. Shocking, unbelievable. "Miss Momoli" This personal maid of Her Highness Philena actually gave the young man a plaque in person. He knew the other person, he was proud and confident, and no ordinary noble would take a second look at him. Now, he is so respectful. Jasmine turned her head and raised her eyebrows slightly. "What's wrong with the Henry family boy calling me?" Raven Henry was immediately startled and waved his hands quickly. "It's okay, it's okay, you're busy."
"It's okay. What are you doing here?" "Apologise, we unintentionally offended you last night." "Oh? You are also blind, Lord Lear, do you want to punish them?" "No, it's nothing." "My lord, I will spare you, please get out of here." Raven Henry turned around and left quickly, sweating profusely. At the same time, I am extremely happy that I came to apologize today! What a foresight, what a foresight! ! He gave Raul a vicious look, this guy was really the source of his bad luck. Fortunately, he didn't offend such a big shot, otherwise his father wouldn't let him go! Goddess above, what kind of treatment is it for His Highness's personal maid to come in person? Those grand duke birthdays are nothing more than that! Lear ignored the few people who left in dejection, and looked at Jasmine with a smile in his eyes. "Miss Jasmine, thank Your Highness for me." This angel investor is really unambiguous. Very efficient. The rose flower symbol is the toughest pass in Loland City. No matter how ignorant the forces are, they will not offend Feileena in Loland City. This is the rising star of the Griffin Empire, the successor of Loland City, and the future extraordinary mage. The protection of the other party is enough to keep the White Crow Chamber of Commerce safe and sound. "If you want to express your gratitude, only Lord Lear can say it in person. I am not qualified to convey it." Jasmine took a deep breath as she spoke, took out something from her arms, held it in her hands respectfully and offered it to her. "Sir, Your Highness asked me to tell you that although the aura on your body is well hidden, it is still a little scattered." "This bracelet was woven by His Highness himself. It is stained with her breath and can block that power." Lear looked at the bracelet with rose flowers in full bloom, and his eyes were startled. He reached out to take it and slowly put it on his left wrist. Instantly, a unique power surged out from the bracelet and covered the whole body. It dissipated the odor on his body and made his breath become fragrant.
At the same time, the unique divine aura that escaped unintentionally also disappeared without a trace and was completely blocked. At this moment, Lear felt something in his heart and slowly turned his head to look in a certain direction, his eyes slightly dazed. He could clearly sense that in which direction there was another bracelet with the same aura. Far apart, yet connected. The other party also noticed him at the same time. rose bracelet [Level]: Special [Characteristics]: 1. Covering, can cover one's own breath, 2. Full of vitality. After being injured, it can consume the rose leaves on the bracelet to recover from the injury. The current number of leaves is 30. 3. Rose Blossom can share your injuries to another person wearing the bracelet without the other person refusing, and you can also take the initiative to bear the other person's injuries. [Introduction]: A bracelet woven by a girl full of beautiful fantasies and longings when she turned 16 years old. After reading the attributes, Lear's eyes were very subtle. this gift "I will personally thank His Highness." Jasmine looked at Lear's somewhat complicated expression and smiled. "His Highness also told me to tell you that there is no need to think too much. This was knitted a long time ago. It was just a toy when I was young. The extra piece is not of high value." Isn’t this worth a lot? Lear felt a little emotional when he heard the words of comfort for him. There is really nothing to say about this Flower of the North. Give him gifts and comfort him. Hearing their conversation, Brando felt a huge shock at the moment. My body was trembling. It turns out that my own master is really so fierce. Her Royal Highness the Princess of Loland City is the pearl of the North and the most dazzling genius mage in the Griffin Empire! ! Sir, you are the true god for sending me such a special treasure!
