Chapter 333 Duke Pirosa
The nobles in the Dawn Plane are keen on buying elven slave girls not only for lust, but also to improve the family bloodline.
The knight bloodline is the foundation of the nobles. The stronger the bloodline, the stronger the combat power.
In this extraordinary world where great power belongs to oneself, ambitious nobles will try every means to strengthen the family bloodline, expand the family power, and maintain the family's advantage. Among them, extraordinary bloodline is the most critical.
The elves are born with strong extraordinary bloodlines. Adult elves can become high-level professionals, and their combat power is stronger than human knights of the same level.
If you buy a young elven slave girl, you can improve the family's bloodline in the next few hundred years. It's just that the elf girl is beautiful and charming, and most noble family heads have the desire to monopolize the elves and will not share the elves with other members.
Often an elf slave girl will serve more than a dozen generations of noble family heads, and her situation is very pitiful.
Of course, there are exceptions. Hundreds of years ago, Duke Marcelo of the Holy Glorious Empire bought nine sun elves and used them as reproductive machines. Hundreds of men in the Duke's family worked hard every day, and sometimes used elves to entertain guests. In just a few decades, thirteen half-elves with sun elf blood were born.
Relying on these thirteen half-elves, the Marcelo family improved their bloodline through internal marriage, burst out with powerful power, and cultivated three legends from the thirteen half-elves. The family's strength once ranked third in the Holy Glorious Empire.
The Marcelo family did not know that because of raising elf slaves, they secretly offended a powerful enemy.
At that time, the sun elf tribe had declined and was far less powerful than the Marcelo family. Moreover, the Marcelo family was protected by the Holy Glorious Empire and was not worried about the revenge of the sun elves.
After losing their territory, the sun elf tribe was displaced and became a wandering tribe. In order to survive, they could only move to areas with strong undead spirits. When the situation was the worst, they almost wiped out the tribe. At the weakest time, this elf tribe had only dozens of members.
At this critical moment, good luck suddenly came. On the ancient battlefield of the dead, the Sun Elf tribe found a tree of life that survived tenaciously. Relying on the water of life accumulated by this tree of life, two legends were born, and many wandering elves were accepted. The population was quickly expanded and the revival was completed.
Today, the scale of the Sun Elf tribe is second only to the Elf King Court, with a population of nearly 10,000 people. Although most of the tribesmen are relatively young, there are fewer high-level professionals, and there are only three legendary elves. However, because the Sun Elf has suffered a disaster, the high-level thinking is relatively open-minded. They are willing to share the water of life with other elf tribes and are willing to accept half-elves.
After regaining their strength, the Sun Elf tribe and Duke Marcelo broke out in a brutal Hundred Years War.
Decades ago, the Marcelo family was attacked by five elven legends. Two half-elf legends of the Marcelo family died in battle, one defected, and the patriarch was slaughtered by the Sun Elf. Four legends were lost in one day, and the whole family was almost wiped out.
Now the Sun Elf tribe has a hunting order against the Marcelo family. As long as they kill a member of the Marcelo family, they can exchange the Water of Life with the Sun Elf tribe. As a result, the Marcelo family dare not show up in public and can only hide in the dark like mice.
Because of this lesson, many cautious nobles are unwilling to keep elf slaves, especially the weaker nobles, who dare not act rashly.
After all, the similarity between elves and humans is more than 95%. As long as they do a little disguise, it is easy to mix in the human population. As long as there are three or five high-level elves hiding in the dark to assassinate and sabotage, it will be very troublesome for the baron and viscount class.
The nobles who bought elves were mainly medium and large nobles. The nobles who competed to buy elves also hid their identities. According to Richard's observation, a total of fourteen nobles bought elf slaves.
These nobles should be more radical in doing things.
The beauty of the elves is charming and charming, and any man will be moved. Richard is also a normal man, of course he will have a strong desire and the urge to auction in his heart.
However, the three views formed in the previous life can help Richard control his inner desires.
If he buys the elven slave girl, it will not only be difficult to explain to Sofia, but also offend the elven tribe.
Although the two multinational chambers of commerce said very nice things, Richard did not believe their promises. In the future, the elven tribe came to him and provoked the enemy for no reason.
Besides, Richard's morality and feelings did not allow him to buy sex slaves and vent his desires. After all, Richard was a person who was responsible for his family and society.
After the auction of the elven beauty was completed, the auction on the second day was over.
The third day was the last day of the auction, and the items on the auction were more precious.
The opening was a variety of super magic materials, mainly second-level and third-level, occasionally mixed with fourth-level and fifth-level materials.
The Mage Association of Harland Territory has developed rapidly, and there is a lot of demand for super magic materials. In the past, it mainly traded with domestic nobles, but it has not been enough in the past one or two years.
Seeing that there were a lot of super magic materials for sale, Richard raised his bid frequently and spent 86,000 gold coins to buy almost half of the super magic materials.
These extraordinary materials are enough for the Harland Mage Association to use for at least two or three years.
After the super magic material unit ended, various magic props and alchemical items appeared in the auction.
Richard waited for two and a half days and finally got the magic qualification detection crystal ball that he wanted to bid for the most.
There were six magic crystal balls at the auction, and the competition was not fierce. After all, other nobles have accumulated them for many years, and there is no shortage of such conventional magic props.
Richard only paid a small premium, a total of 20,000 gold coins, and successfully took six magic crystal balls.
The auction has consumed more than 190,000 gold coins from Harland County, and Richard has also purchased some of the most urgently needed items.
Although Harland County has saved a huge amount of 600,000 gold coins in the treasury, 200,000 gold coins need to be left to prevent accidents. Now Richard has only about 200,000 funds left.
After the auction ended in the morning, Richard paid the funds and received about a dozen carriages of auction items. At noon, after everyone sorted out the materials they had auctioned, Richard put all the precious materials into the Starlight Bottle.
In the afternoon, Richard spent 92,000 gold coins to buy two space bags, one large and one small.
The larger space bag was sold for 54,000 gold coins, with a total of 18 cubic meters of space. Richard was going to give it to Sophia. The smaller space bag was sold for 38,000 gold coins, with a total of 12 cubic meters, and was going to be left for Wendy.
Normally, a storage item with an internal space of one cubic meter is sold for about 3,000 gold coins. The larger the internal space, the higher the premium. If Richard was willing to sell the Starlight Bottle and put it in the Holy Glorious Empire, someone would be willing to pay tens of millions of funds. However, such a large transaction may not be guaranteed in terms of safety.
During the three-day auction, Richard spent 283,600 gold coins and bought 150 flaming horses, 400 Tenghui potions, 156 craftsman slaves, a six-year contract for the seventh-level silver knight Wilde, a ten-year contract for the sixth-level warrior Griffin, six magic qualification detection crystal balls, fourteen carts of super magic materials, and two space bags. It can be said that the harvest was quite fruitful.
With such a large fortune, Richard needs to be particularly careful to ensure safety and prevent theft and robbery. Important resources are all in the Star Bottle.
During the auction, tens of thousands of outsiders entered Nolan Castle. When the great nobles attended the auction, they would of course be accompanied by guards, servants, and maids. The thirty-seven great nobles together brought more than ten thousand people.
In addition, domestic nobles received the news and rushed to participate in the auction, bringing a large number of foreign population to Nolan.
Although these foreign populations activated the market and made many people in Nolan Castle earn a lot of money, they also brought chaos to Nolan's public security.
This time when he came to Nolan, in order to avoid the royal family's fear, Richard had only more than a hundred attendants around him, but this guard was carefully selected from the Second Warcraft Cavalry Brigade, with more than seventy professional officers and extraordinary combat effectiveness.
With the protection of this army and Richard's extraordinary strength, he was not afraid of ordinary troubles, but he had to prevent the multinational chamber of commerce and the great nobles of other countries from making a fortune, cheating and looking for trouble with Harland.
After all, at the auction, Richard's box repeatedly raised the placard, and as long as others were not blind, they could roughly estimate that Harland had bid nearly 300,000 gold coins.
Richard spent more money at the auction than the Grant royal family.
300,000 gold coins is a huge sum of money even for the great nobles, enough to make some radical nobles choose to take risks.
In Nolan Castle, Richard was not worried about safety.
There were Grant royal garrisons and Grant Kingdom Mage Association in Nolan Castle. Even if the legends made trouble in Nolan, they would face great trouble.
But leaving Nolan Castle and going to the uninhabited wilderness, Harland's team might face trouble.
After the auction, Richard rested in the mansion for a day, and left Nolan with the guards early the next morning.
Richard had just left the city gate with his guards when an owl not far behind them spread its wings and returned to Nolan City.
Richard glanced at the owl that was going away, and his eyes became extremely cold. He stretched out his hands, clenched the star necklace around his neck, and decided to teach his opponent an unforgettable lesson.
The owl broke the window and flew into a luxurious hotel.
In the hotel, the legendary knight Duke Pilosa was flushed and sat naked on the bed, as if he had finished a fierce battle. Two high-level elf slaves were naked and numb on the bed.
"Oram, you are so rude."
"Respected Duke Pilosa, the target you asked me to keep an eye on has left Nolan this morning."
The owl actually spoke, and it was still the standard Stark Kingdom language.
This owl is a rare magic beast called Death Owl.
The Death Owl has a very high IQ and is a rare magic beast that can be tamed. Their vocal organs are very special. Like another magic beast, the Lucky Parrot, they can master human language.
The culture of the Stark Kingdom is very warlike. Unlike the Delon Kingdom, this country has been strong for thousands of years. The national culture respects the strong and emphasizes the concept of class obedience.
The Stark Kingdom values strength and military merit. If a noble does not have military merit, he has no status in society.
Even if an ordinary person becomes a legend in the Stark Kingdom, he will be immediately named a hereditary duke. However, the territory must be seized by oneself. How much territory can be seized for future generations depends on one's own ability and opportunities.
Pirosa was born into an ordinary noble family. He awakened his knight bloodline at the age of twelve. He was very talented and showed his talent at a young age. At the age of fifty, he was promoted to a legend and became the first Duke of Stark Kingdom.
Pirosa's character was also very radical and warlike. He was not afraid of danger at all, so he bought a high-level elf slave at the auction.
Because Richard bought a lot of resources at the auction, the Duke of Pirosa was alarmed.
The first Duke of Stark has always been lawless. He has provoked wars with the Mayan Kingdom several times. He controls more than a dozen bandits and plunders on the border between the Stark Kingdom and the Mayan Kingdom.
The caravan of the Driffin family was actually plundered by bandits controlled by Pirosa. The surviving caravan members were finally sold to the multinational chamber of commerce.
Because he often engaged in black-on-black business, Pirosa has a very close relationship with the multinational chamber of commerce and is a very important partner of various multinational chambers of commerce.
Pirosa stood up, put on his clothes, and immediately called the soldiers, then pulled off the bed sheet and wrapped the two naked elven slave girls.
"It seems that our target has already sensed the danger."
Pirosa sneered, and waited for the guards to enter the room before asking: "Did you get any results from the information I asked you to find out?"
"Reporting to the Duke, the target is named Richard Harland, the first Duke of Grant Kingdom. According to rumors in the Nolan market, this person is very good at fighting in the northern border. However, Duke Richard is not very old, and his professional level is only level six. But this Duke is a magician and martial artist, and it is rumored that his magic talent is extraordinary."
After hearing the information, Pirosa immediately knew that Richard must be very difficult to deal with. He was able to make repeated military exploits in the war with the orcs and was promoted to the first Duke. Such a person must be extraordinary.
But Pirosa still did not change his belief, because Pirosa was a legendary knight and had enough confidence in his own strength. He believed that no matter how powerful Richard was, he could not fight against the legendary knight.
While putting on the enchanted armor, Pirosa asked, "What other important information have you found out?"
"It is said that Richard's most classic battle was to send a large army to besiege and kill the legendary dog-headed man Kiram, and he was hailed as the Duke of Dog Killer."
The Stark Kingdom is geographically close to the south and does not border the orcs, so it is not very familiar with the strength of the Orc Empire. When Pirosa heard that Richard led his troops to kill the legendary dog-headed man, his first feeling was that the dog-headed man was weak and his combat effectiveness was very average.
Moreover, Richard led tens of thousands of troops to besiege the legendary dog-headed man, and he had no chance of winning alone.
Now Richard has only a hundred guards around him, while Pirosa has nearly two hundred elites around him. As long as he catches up with Richard, he will be absolutely sure to snatch this precious resource.
As for how to deal with the aftermath, Pirosa did not consider it at all.
It is basically difficult to find the murderer if someone is killed in the wilderness. When the news of Richard's disappearance came out, it would take at least twenty days for Beijiang to communicate with Nolan. After getting this ticket, Pirosa will leave Nolan immediately. With Pirosa's relationship with the two transnational chambers of commerce, and the protection of the two transnational chambers of commerce along the way, he will definitely be able to leave the Kingdom of Grant in 20 days.
More than 50 kilometers north of Nolan is a wilderness with few people, which is very suitable for murder and robbery. Before participating in the auction, Pirosa prepared a lot of places for robbery in advance.
