Chapter 141 141 On the Road

Chapter 142 On the Road

Since the 10th, Huitu Village has ushered in a lively day - the first knights and guards competition in Shanlin Town, hosted by Elrond, has officially begun.

According to the rules set by Elrond, this game is divided into preliminary rounds and finals.

Those who defeat their opponents in the qualifiers advance to the next round, until the final eight, semi-finals, and champion are competed later.

In order to take care of the daily patrols and defense of the territory, the qualifying schedule is not very tight, so two or three competitions are held in the square every evening.

According to Elrond's arrangement, the final will be held on the morning of the 28th, as a performance prepared by the lord for the annual celebration.

Ronin also brought news to Elrond through Rydal. He allowed all the people in the territory except the guards, whether they were free people, serfs or slaves, to enjoy a day off on the anniversary day and come here. Watch the game.

Doing so can not only arouse their expectations, but at the same time Luo Ning can use this collective activity to enhance the cohesion between the territorial residents and Hillwood Castle.

In addition, when people watch the competition, there are always people who imagine that they can stand on the stage to participate in the competition and receive generous bounties, which can stimulate their fighting spirit.

Having a few more people with fighting spirit would be of some benefit to Luo Ning.

Not to mention the lively atmosphere in the territory, after all arrangements were made, Luo Ning took only McCann and Tom with him and set off for Wushan Fort.

In fact, with his current strength, even if he is traveling alone, he will basically not worry about being threatened by wild beasts or monsters in the wilderness.

However, considering the possible dangers of going to Wushanbao this time, Luo Ning chose to take McCann with him and strengthen the other party's strength.

Thus, Hillwood had its first Silver Knight.

From around October 8th to mid-December, McCann relied on his own practice to increase his level progress from 285 to 294/300.

In nearly two months, he only increased nine points, which was not fast. This was also a reflection of his low qualifications.

But it doesn't matter. After Luo Ning consumed 806 points of energy essence, McCann directly changed from a senior knight to a silver knight.

McCann’s panel at this time:

[Macon Sallyton]: Silver Knight·Earth (0/1500) +

After his breakthrough this time, in addition to acquiring new fighting skills and mastering the secret book of fighting energy, he also gained certain memory fragments.

However, these memory fragments were just scenes of daily life and battles, and there was nothing special about them. After a brief inquiry, Luo Ning did not know much about them.

After Luo Ning used 806 points of energy essence, he still had 381 points left.

He did not continue to invest these energy essences in McCann, after all, the level progress of 1500 points was too long.

He plans to use them on Redal or Elrond next. The former can help them enter Silver as soon as possible, and the latter can be promoted to a fourth-level great magician.

Although the combat ability of light attribute magicians is relatively limited, having a great magician in the territory is also a kind of foundation. When Elrond is really needed to help, the stronger the better.

The three of them ran all the way and soon came to a three-way intersection.

Luo Ning reined in the reins and looked at the road heading east.

It's a pity that his vision was blocked by the raised hillside on the road, and he couldn't see the situation on the other side.

But Ronin already knew where that place was from the map Hallwart gave him.

"You should be able to reach Thain Territory soon after climbing over the mountain in front."

Luo Ning said: "I think we will have time to sit there."

"But Baron Leisen may not be too welcoming." McCann smiled.

Luo Ning's lips curled up slightly, "Perhaps he is no longer the master of Thain Territory by then?"

Tom sat on the horse and listened to the words of the lord and the guard. Although he was not qualified to participate in the discussion on many things, the purpose of the lord taking him to Wushan Fort this time was clear.

So he was sure that the lord also wanted to become the master of Thane Territory.

For other barons, annexing the territories of other barons may be a very difficult thing, but Tom doesn't know why he especially believes that as long as Master Luo Ning does something, he will always succeed.

"Let's go!"

Luo Ning took the reins, and the Cloud-Stepping Horse neighed happily and set off on the road again.

Traveling lightly, it only takes them four or five days to reach Wushanpu.

But before that, Luo Ning first went to Muma City.

He arranged for Tom to go to Viscount Ironhoof's castle to deliver the visiting notice, and he took Tom to two other places.

Viper Exchange.

As soon as Steward Anthony heard that the Baron of Hillwood Town was visiting, he immediately trotted out.

"Long time no see, Lord Baron, your arrival really makes our Viper Exchange shine!"

Anthony's sharp eyes saw Luo Ning's horse at a glance, and he was secretly shocked. He didn't expect that Luo Ning could own such a cloud-riding horse worth thousands of gold.

"It's been a long time since I saw you Mr. Anthony. You still look very energetic and shrewd as last time."

Luo Ning handed the horse to McCann and entered the slave exchange under the leadership of the steward.

Anthony's eyes raised. The last time the baron entered the Viper Exchange, he had many guards with him. Today was different. Not only did he only have one guard, but he also didn't have this guard accompanying him.

Is this trust in Viper Exchange?

Thinking of this, Anthony smiled happily, "Is Baron Luo Ning coming here to buy another batch of slaves?"

Ronin nodded.

Anthony was even more enthusiastic, "Haha, to be honest, I have just trained a batch of slaves here recently, and they all meet your requirements last time. Do you want me to take you to check the goods?"

Merchants are like this. Whenever customers come, they always like to say that they have just received a batch of goods.

Ronin shook his head, "No need to check, I just want to ask you, how many slaves do you have now?"

Anthony's heart skipped a beat. If he asked this question, he might have to buy a lot?

"To be honest, sir, I have more than 300 slaves here. If you need more, I can get you 500 or 600 within a month!"

Ronin now has money in his hand, and he needs to convert part of this money into labor.

"Five or six hundred is still too few, I need at least one thousand slaves!"

He directly stated his expectations, "I require that there are two to three craftsmen for every hundred slaves, and the overall ratio of men to women should not be too different. Can you do it?"

Anthony was stunned. He was shocked by the demand figures reported by Ronin.

One thousand slaves, this is a very rare large order for the Viper Exchange. Many branches don't have a chance to receive one in a year. Unexpectedly, this lucky thing fell on him?

If he gets this order, Anthony's position in the Viper Exchange will be more secure, and the annual celebration is coming soon. He can completely rely on this order to ask for some bonuses from the higher-ups.

Roning looked at Anthony who was slightly stunned. It seemed that such a large demand was not easy to handle.

"Why, is it difficult?"

Anthony shuddered and immediately returned to normal. He couldn't let the customer think that he couldn't take this order now.

"No, no!"

He firmly denied: "Sir, you have to believe in the strength of my Viper Exchange. Let alone one thousand people, even if you want ten thousand people, I can get them for you!"

In sales, you have to brag. Roning is not surprised.

"When can you prepare these 1,000 people?"

Ronin smiled and said, "I won't take the slaves back this time. They will be escorted to Shanlin Town by your exchange. I require them to arrive alive."

"Okay, no problem!"

Anthony pondered and said, "Sir, it's easy for slaves to die when transporting them in winter. I suggest that they be sent to you before April next year."

"You can escort them in batches to ensure that the 1,000 people can be gathered before April."

Ronin gave a suggestion. It would be easier for him to arrange it if they were sent in batches. It would be a bit too much for Wilson, Chahar and others to stuff 1,000 people at once.

"Your method is very clever!"

Anthony agreed immediately. After confirming the possibility of the transaction, the next thing to discuss was the price.

Ronin was ready to have a good chat with the other party at the Viper Exchange about long-term cooperation.

Sorry, the update is late. There is another chapter today, but it will be later (mainly because of family troubles. My stepmother, my uncle's wife, has been insulting my parents for years. The author is usually very gentle and I don't get involved in the affairs of the elders. My parents are the same. They thought that they would cut off ties with their family after my grandma was buried. No one expected that at my grandma's funeral, they would still come out to cause trouble in front of so many guests. Not only did they curse, but they also came up and touched me. I couldn't help it and hit me... Now my neck, waist, and legs hurt a little. I guess I was injured)
