Chapter 146 146 Grabbing the Wool

Chapter 147: Get the Best

Ronin wants to form a knight squad, so he needs to buy at least six war horses and twenty riding horses this time.

War horses are for professional knights, while riding horses are for cavalry.

The quality of horses in the Horse Herding City is well-known in the entire Wushan Territory and its surrounding areas. The horse farm that Rogna brought Ronin to today is a top-grade horse farm, so the quality of each horse here is very good.

The price of horses with good quality is naturally higher, and the gold coins that horse buyers need to pay are naturally indispensable.

Through Rogna's detailed introduction, Ronin has figured out the approximate price range of war horses of various qualities in the Horse Herding City.

Ordinary quality war horses are 40~60 gold each, fine quality is 100~150 gold, and excellent quality is 300+ gold coins;

The riding horses prepared for cavalry also have price ranges and grades, which fluctuate between 3~20 gold coins depending on the quality of the horse.

When Ronin looked at the horses in the stable, he felt that they were no longer flesh and blood animals, but golden coins.

It was unknown how much money he could make if he sold these more than 100 horses at the market price.

However, Viscount Marvin had already told Rogner to give Ronin the biggest discount.

So the war horses Ronin bought today were at the lowest price of each type, and the riding horses were at the middle price.

With such a good opportunity, Ronin would naturally not miss it.

He still had 1,562 gold coins in his hand, so he had to buy more anyway.

As the saying goes, if you miss this village, you will miss this shop. He couldn't expect Viscount Marvin to give him discounts every time, after all, he had to make money by running a horse farm.

However, he couldn't buy too much, as the conditions in Shanlin Town didn't allow it.

You have to know that raising these horses requires a lot of feed.

In addition to grass, in order to keep the war horses in shape, you also need to prepare corn, oats, alfalfa, bran, soybeans, etc.

The crops in Shanlin Town are too monotonous. Oats are rare, not to mention corn and alfalfa.

The only soybean planting area is not large, barely enough for Ronin's expenses, where is the surplus for the horses?

Most of these horses should only eat grass.

After some calculations, Ronin made a decision. He needed to buy two excellent war horses, twelve ordinary war horses and thirty riding horses.

He calculated a little bit, and just these forty-four horses cost him a full nine hundred and eighty gold coins!

You know, this is the price after the discount. If it is a normal transaction, Ronin may not be able to spend all his savings.

After paying the deposit, Ronin got the purchase contract and agreed to take these horses away after returning from Wushanbao.

"There are more than five hundred gold coins left. I will buy some feed, seeds, and wrought iron later..."

Ronin sighed secretly. The three thousand gold coins earned from Wushanbao last time were basically spent.

Purchase is only the first step, raising is the second step, and arming is the third step.

War horses need some protective gear, right?

Putting iron armor on horses will cost a lot of money.

Roning can only think of the black iron tree.

There were rattan armor soldiers in the Three Kingdoms period. He now has iron wood soldiers, so it is not impossible to have an iron wood cavalry.

But no matter what, it is a big expense.

Roning now understands why it is said that a real baron must have a complete knight squad.

Forming a knight squad is not only a reflection of the baron's strength, but also a reflection of financial strength.

Only nobles with both strength and financial strength can be regarded as real nobles.

After Roning finalized the matter of horses, he had completed all the things he had to do in the horse-herding city this time.

When Viscount Marvin got the list in the evening, his mouth twitched, "This kid, he didn't say so much when I asked him how many horses he needed before!"

Yesterday Roning only mentioned ordinary war horses and riding horses, and didn't even mention fine war horses.

Now there are two more excellent war horses on the list, which are obviously added temporarily.

Rogna also laughed and said, "I think he should be running out of money, otherwise he will definitely buy more."

"He is really good at taking advantage."

Marvin put the list aside and no longer paid attention to it. At the beginning, he even gave away the Cloud Horse, so giving away a few more horses was nothing.

And he could see that Roning was no longer the same as before, and it was completely profitable to sponsor him.

…

Since the Iron Hoof Fort's convoy still needed a few days to prepare, Roning had a rare few days of rest.

Originally, Rogna and his girlfriend, Knight Kami, wanted to invite him to visit the Horse City and visit places like the Colosseum and the Arena.

But Roning politely declined with the excuse of being tired from running around.

He said to others that he needed to rest, but in fact he was practicing level 4 fighting skills and magic in his own courtyard.

After the promotion, he can learn the Storm Blade fighting skill, Tear and Wind Tentacles magic in terms of wind attribute;

At the same time, he can master the Flame Whirlwind fighting skill used by Lei Sen at the beginning, as well as the Flame Light Pillar magic.

Except for the "Tear" magic that he obtained from the magic core of the Storm Wolf, the rest were given to him by Lu Lans.

Through learning, Luo Ning found that fighting skills and magic are actually very similar in expression, both of which are the use of extraordinary power.

For example, the Storm Blade is actually formed by attaching the fighting spirit to the mist, and forming more than a dozen wind blades through clever condensation, control, and differentiation;

Tear is to mobilize the wind element between heaven and earth to form an attack by carving spell lines;

If anything, the Storm Blade has a wider range, while the damage of Tear Magic is stronger.

"Storm Blade!"

Luo Ning shouted softly, and the Flowing Flame Sword drew a bright arc in the air. The sharp wind blade roared like a sickle and attacked McCann in front.

McCann did not use fighting skills, but condensed the fighting spirit armor on his body, and at the same time used the fighting spirit to create palm wind to neutralize Luo Ning's attack.

With the violent collision, the power of Luo Ning's sword was basically neutralized by McCann, leaving only a few sporadic wind blades that passed through the palm wind and bombarded the opponent's fighting spirit armor.

The fighting spirit armor only trembled slightly, and then returned to its original state.

"The power is okay, but it's a little weaker than tearing."

Luo Ning touched his chin, those fighting skills and magic flashed in his mind.

"It's a pity that the power of the same magic cannot increase as the magician's strength increases. If the power can be increased by injecting more fighting spirit like fighting skills, the 'Wind Blade' magic is the most powerful in terms of single attack."

It is said that only those who reach the level of a magician can enhance the power of ordinary magic. Unfortunately, Luo Ning does not know the principle.

He may need to consult a magic mentor, or improve Elrond's strength so that he can gain more memories and knowledge about magic.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Luo Ning has already grasped the second magic wind tentacle with wind attribute.

This magic is to control the opponent's movements by manipulating the wind to form a bolt that binds the opponent's limbs in the air. Its effect is basically similar to Elrond's Light Binding.

But as a wind-attribute magic and a level four magic, its binding power is much stronger than that of light binding.

Ronin tested it on McCann and Tom. The former needed to use all his strength to break free, otherwise he would be trapped for at least three to five seconds.

As for Tom…

Poor Tom was restrained for three minutes, unable to move at all. In the end, he was able to break free because the power of the magic slowly weakened over time.

"Sir, Alphonse, the steward of Ironshoe Castle, is here." Tom walked into the yard and said.

Luo Ning's mind moved. It should be that Iron Shoe Fort's convoy was ready, and they needed to set off for Wushan Fort.

This time Wushanbao will be more lively than last time.
