Chapter 241: Forming the Second Magic Beast Squadron

However, the real value of the breathing method is not that high. It is just that the great nobles have used their monopoly on knowledge to forcibly increase the difficulty of obtaining extraordinary knowledge. They not only squeezed talented professional officers, but also reduced competitors and restricted the development of small nobles.

Compared with a complete barony, the value of a set of breathing methods is actually not that high. After all, most ordinary people find it difficult to advance to the fourth level after practicing breathing methods for a lifetime.

The silver wolf breathing method that can be practiced to the fifth level is enough for ordinary soldiers to practice. The exchange price of the first eight levels of breathing methods is less than 5,000 gold coins, and the exchange price of the last four levels of breathing methods is as high as 95,000.

The more knowledge that can threaten the great nobles, the more valuable it is.

A set of breathing methods that can be practiced to the ninth level is estimated to be worth 100,000 gold coins, and there is no market for it on the market. The complete breathing method cannot be purchased with gold coins at all. It needs to serve the great nobles and exchange it with military merits.

The value of meditation methods that have stronger power is of course higher. According to the general unspoken rules, the price of things used by magicians is at least three times that of warriors.

A complete meditation method such as the Highland Meditation Method is worth three times the Silver Wolf Breathing Method, which is equivalent to a viscount territory, and converted into gold coins, it is equivalent to about 300,000 gold coins.

As for the meditation method that involves rules, such as the Starlight Meditation Method, it is already a priceless treasure and cannot be exchanged for ordinary resources at all.

Harland Territory is not short of meditation resources. There are three sets of advanced meditation methods. Richard has a deep understanding of the roots of magic and can also deduce meditation methods.

In terms of meditation method background, the Harland Territory Mage Association is better than the royal family.

However, Harland Territory lacks background and is very short of lower-end breathing methods.

The Dawn Plane is an extraordinary world, and the knowledge of the extraordinary world is monopolized. Unless Richard is willing to spend time studying the laws of breathing methods and deducing and completing the Silver Wolf Breathing Method, he must be exploited by the great nobles.

Everyone who climbs up has to pay a price, and this price is either life or money.

Richard's time is very tight on weekdays. Not only does he have to practice breathing methods and meditation methods, but he also has to take time out to do magic experiments. He also needs to deduce two sets of meditation methods, the Book of Fire and the Book of Curse, and always pay attention to the development of the territory's magic technology.

In addition, Richard also needs to manage the territory, pay attention to people's livelihood, understand craftsmanship, and even redress injustice for ordinary people and punish corrupt officials.

Richard's schedule is very full every day, and he has no time and energy to deduce the Silver Wolf Breathing Method.

Moreover, Richard's understanding of the breathing method is not deep, and he does not have a unique understanding. The territory does not have a legendary breathing method, and there is no sample, so it is very difficult to deduce the breathing method.

In order to enhance the attraction to talents and not become a talent delivery center, from a long-term perspective, the Silver Wolf Breathing Method must be exchanged.

"It's not impossible to sell a lion duck for 10,000 gold coins, but I will castrate the male lion duck and monopolize the precious magic beast resource of the lion duck. Can the royal family agree to this request?"

In a flash, Richard found an excuse to deliberately make things difficult in order to raise the value of the lion duck transaction.

After hearing Richard's words, Morris's face changed. This was what he feared the most, because Richard's words were in line with the values ​​of most nobles in the Dawn Plane.

The nobles were born to like to monopolize everything. Richard went to the two dukes of Edward and Jonathan to buy iron-horned horses, but he could only buy geldings, forcing him to build his own iron-horned horse breeding farm to break the nobles' monopoly on warhorses.

And King Roger sent Morris to trade lion ducks, and the most taboo thing was this.

Nolan hoped to use the lion ducks traded to slowly domesticate and breed, expand the population, and establish the Lion Duck Knights.

If it was just to train ten lion duck knights, the Roger Kingdom would not pay attention to it at all, and there was no need for Morris, a special envoy with a special identity, to come forward.

"If it is a castrated lion duck, the transaction value will be much lower, and the nobles in the capital will also have opinions about Viscount Richard. It is a win-win situation for both parties to exchange resources. If Viscount Richard is not satisfied with my offer, I can write to the capital and raise it as appropriate."

"I want a complete silver wolf, three sets of breathing methods for the mad lion and the barbarian bull, and one thousand Tenghui potions, one thousand pieces of enchanted armor, and ten thousand magic crystals."

When nobles exchange resources, sometimes they do not consider the specific value, but are limited by the supply and demand relationship and the desire for the transaction.

When the royal family trades with the Harland Territory, there is no doubt that the royal family has a greater desire for the transaction.

The royal family takes out ordinary resources, although they are of high value and are not in short supply on the market.

What the Harland Territory takes out is a group of lion ducks, which are unique and precious resources except for King Ryan nearby.

It is impossible for the Kingdom of Ryan to sell lion ducks. If they want to cultivate the Knights of Lion Duck, the only hope is to exchange with Richard.

Because of this, the Kingdom of Roger gave Morris the authorization to use 300,000 gold coins.

Another reason is that the Harland family is already very powerful, and its status in the Kingdom of Grant is equivalent to that of a reserve noble. Its position is also very important and cannot be easily suppressed.

If the royal family wants to get something from the nobles, they must bleed and compromise.

If Richard becomes an earl, King Roger will have to give more resources to obtain the lion duck population.

If it is not the Harland family that obtains the lion duck, but Duke Jonathan, there will be no exchange at all, but a monopoly of the lion duck and the cultivation of their own lion duck knights.

Seeing Morris showing his weakness, Richard naturally asked the lion to open his mouth, and showed an expression of victory, unwilling to bargain.

Richard's request exceeded Morris's authority. If you ask for help from the royal capital, you will leave an impression of incompetence.

For a moment, Morris showed an annoyed expression. He suppressed the negative emotions in his heart and continued: "The Silver Wolf Breathing Technique can be practiced to the ninth level, and I have enough authority to trade. But the Barbarian Ox Breathing Technique cannot be practiced. This breathing method can be practiced to the Legendary Second Level. Richard The Viscount should know that the king will not take out the legendary level things easily. My authority here can only be traded to the ninth level, and I can agree to let Richard reach the sixth level of professional training. The viscount copied it, but he had to sign a non-disclosure contract.

The annual output of Tenghui Potion is not much, only 500 bottles can be spared, and only 6,000 magic crystals can be allocated.

As for enchanted armor, there is no shortage in Harland territory at all, so I don’t think it is a resource that must be traded. If Viscount Richard must enchant the armor, I can only mobilize some from the Northern Army. "

Seeing that Richard still refused to let go, Morris continued to persuade: "Viscount Richard, the Harland Territory also needs royal support. Giving a good impression to the nobles of the royal capital is very critical to the development of the territory. Last time the Harland family and Viscount Richard's handling of the conflict between the Holland family is a bit too tough. The conditions I have given here are already within the maximum authority, and are worth about 300,000 gold coins. Your Excellency, the Viscount, should be satisfied. "

Richard knew that this was almost the bottom line for Morris.

If the armor must be enchanted, Morris would only recruit from the brigade commanded by William. In the end, William was made to look like a human being inside and outside, making the officers and soldiers of the Northern Army resentful.

After thinking for a moment, Richard made another request: "We are currently conducting a magic experiment that requires a large amount of discarded magic crystals. I need 60,000 magic crystals that have exhausted the magic power. If the capital can provide this If you give up the magic crystal, I will agree to your terms."

"Viscount Richard, it is a serious crime to mint gold coins privately. You must not act recklessly?"

"Baron Morris, how can I challenge the royal family's right to mint money? I want to use discarded magic crystals because I want to study the technology of charging and reusing magic crystals. Recently, I have thought of an experimental direction that requires a large amount of discarded magic crystals. experiment."

In fact, Morris did not completely believe what Richard said, but delayed a little and said: "Although the waste magic crystal is not valuable, I have to report this matter to the royal capital, and you have to sign an agreement not to use the waste magic crystal to mint gold coins. Soul Contract."

Richard thought about it for a moment and finally agreed to Morris' request.

After Maurice's urgent letter was delivered to the royal capital, King Roger approved it almost immediately.

After receiving instructions from the Roger Kingdom, Richard exchanged ten griffons for a sum of resources with the Grant royal family.

Obtaining the follow-up breathing method from the Mad Lion Legion reduced Richard's many troubles. Now Richard has practiced the breathing method to the eighth level and was promoted to a fifth-level warrior. In a few years we will have to find a way to exchange for subsequent breathing techniques.

Fortunately, the breathing method of the Mad Lion Legion has been widely circulated. It is not a breathing method monopolized by the royal family. Many nobles have collections. Otherwise, Richard will definitely be blackmailed and spend more resources.

Silver Wolf Breathing Technique This time Harland's territory has also been completed. With a complete breathing technique, talents can be retained. For the great nobles, excellent talents are the most precious resources.

The first half of the Bull Breathing Technique is also exchanged, which is enough to train most soldiers and officers.

The breathing method was exchanged, which strengthened the Harland family's foundation, but it could not improve the Harland family's combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

After getting a large sum of magic crystals, of course Richard had to buy some resources to enhance his combat effectiveness.

Richard immediately used a thousand magic crystals to buy a hundred iron horned horses from Duke Edward, and formed a second squadron of Warcraft Cavalry. The squadron leader appointed third-level warrior Julian.

If it weren't for the lack of professionals and elite cavalry in the territory, Richard even planned to expand two squadrons of Warcraft cavalry.

The soldiers of the Second Warcraft Squadron were all drawn from the infantry squadron, and 500 Tenghui potions were used on the veterans. Forty-two professional officers were trained in the Harland Territory.

This group of new professional officers were basically transferred to the Second Warcraft Squadron to serve as the backbone.

Thoros also resigned from the position of captain of the 1st Warcraft Squadron and was promoted to captain of the Warcraft Brigade. The position of squadron leader was given to his eldest son, Kent.

Kent is thirty-eight years old and has just been promoted to a third-level warrior. His qualifications are not particularly good. Although Soros has invested a lot of resources, it will be difficult to advance to the sixth level before the age of sixty.

For ordinary warrior professionals, their health will decline after the age of sixty, and it is basically difficult to advance.

In fact, nobles with average qualifications, even if they invest resources and work very hard, can basically be promoted to the fourth or fifth level when they are old. If they have poor qualifications, they may not be able to be promoted to the third level.

Ordinary free people cannot keep up with nutrition, and do not know the written language, so they cannot grasp the essence of the breathing method. And because of the pressure of life, there is not much time to practice breathing techniques. In addition, the threshold for redeeming the techniques is very high. If you work in the main army until they are in their fifties, most of the soldiers will only be at the first or second level.

People like William and Roland who became mid-level professionals in their thirties were very rare in the main legion. Such people were the officers that the legion focused on.

The development of William and Roland is very different. Talent is not the main reason, but luck and opportunity are important.

The Warcraft Cavalry Battalion in Harland Territory now has two Warcraft Cavalry Squadrons and two Heavy Cavalry Squadrons. There are 200 Warcraft Cavalry and 300 Heavy Cavalry, plus the guards, commanders, and logistics personnel of the battalion, with a total of about 600 people.

Although the number of people in the battalion is small, the combat effectiveness is far superior to that of the infantry battalion, which is very strong.

In May of this year, Richard's third uncle Bernie was also promoted to the sixth level, and his rank was promoted to colonel. Bernie is 45 years old this year. According to his age, he should be able to advance to the eighth level professional before he is 60 years old.

Without a particularly great opportunity, it is almost impossible to advance to a legend.

In the spring of this year, Richard's cousin Audrey Dark was also promoted to the third level knight, catching up with her brother Morgan Dark.

Although his uncle Soros has good talent, he is not as good as his two children. Including illegitimate children, Soros has given birth to more than ten children, three of whom have awakened the knight bloodline.

Morgan became a third-level knight at the age of thirty, and his talent was already very good. Audrey's talent was even more outstanding, and she broke through the third level at the age of twenty-five.

The knight awakened the power of bloodline spells and could fight at a higher level than a warrior. According to Audrey's age, if her life goes well, she can impact the legendary realm before she is sixty years old.

At the same time, the second captain, Captain Lost, also advanced to the fourth-level knight in April.

Sophia's cousin Bellman also successfully broke through to the fourth level.

There is also good news from the Mage Association. After years of accumulation, the second-ring magician Heath was promoted to the third ring, and Butler and Anne's magic level was raised to the second ring. Bella, the first apprentice to practice the Book of Fire, was also successfully promoted to a first-ring magician.

Last year, the territory researched the abandoned magic crystal charging technology, and the territory magicians made contributions. After the success of the magic crystal charging technology, the feedback from meditation was particularly good. In addition, the accumulation time was relatively long, and the main magicians participating in the research in the territory all advanced smoothly.

Richard's sister Wendy, as the main researcher of magic crystal charging technology, had the deepest insights and the best feedback during meditation, and she was also successfully promoted to the fifth level.
