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, everyone could enjoy a day off on the anniversary day and come to 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 are watching 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 magical beasts 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, Luo Ning directly changed from a high-level knight to a silver knight after consuming 8 McCanns.

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 obtained certain memory fragments.

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

Luo Ning used 8 and 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 of 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 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 a visiting notice, and he took Tom to two other places.

Viper Exchange.

As soon as Butler 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 Luo Ning to 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 smart 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 and said, "Is Baron Luo Ning coming here to buy another batch of slaves?"

Ronin nodded.

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

This is what businessmen do. Whenever customers come, they always like to say that they have a new batch of goods.

Luo Ning shook his head, "No need to look at it. I just want to ask you, how many slaves do you have here now?"

Anthony's heart skipped a beat. If he asked this question, would he be afraid that he would have to buy a lot?

"To be honest, sir, I have more than three hundred slaves here. If you need more, I can get you five to six hundred within a month!"

Luo Ning now has money in his hands, and he needs to convert part of this money into labor force.

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

He stated his expectations directly, "I require that every hundred slaves should have two to three craftsmen. At the same time, the overall male-to-female ratio should not be too different. Can this be achieved?"

Anthony was stunned. He was shocked by the demand figures reported by Luo Ning.

One thousand slaves, this is a very large order for the Viper Exchange. Many branches have no chance to receive one for a year. Who would have thought that this lucky thing would fall on him?

If he wins this order, Anthony's position in the Viper Exchange will be more secure, and the anniversary is coming soon. He can use this order to ask for some bonuses from above.

Luo Ning looked at Anthony who was slightly stunned. It seemed that such a huge demand was not easy to deal with.

"What, is it difficult?"

Anthony was excited and immediately returned to his normal state. He couldn't let the customer feel that he couldn't fulfill the order now.

"No, no!"

He firmly denied: "Sir, you must believe in the strength of my Viper Exchange. Even if you want 10,000 people, let alone a thousand people, I can get them for you!"

Sales people have to be able to brag, and Luo Ning is not surprised.

"When can you prepare these thousand people?"

Luo Ning smiled and said: "I will not take the slaves back this time. Your exchange will escort them to Shanlin Town. I require them to arrive alive."

"sure, no problem!"

Anthony pondered and said: "Sir, transporting slaves in winter is prone to death. I suggest that they be sent to you before April next year."

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

Luo Ning suggested that it would be easier for him to arrange for them to be sent in batches. Sending a thousand people at once would be a bit demanding for Wilson, Chahar and others.

"Your method is very clever!"

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

Luo Ning was going to have a good chat with the other party about long-term cooperation at the Viper Exchange.

Sorry for the late update. There is another chapter today, but it will be later (mainly because of the trouble at home. My baby mother, who is my uncle’s wife, has been insulting my parents all these years. The author is usually very gentle, generally I don’t get involved in elders’ affairs. My parents also thought that they would be cut off from their family after my grandma was buried. No one expected that at my grandma’s funeral, in front of so many guests, she would still come out to stir up trouble, even if she cursed people. He came up and started to touch me, but I couldn’t help it so I took action... My neck, waist, and legs now feel a little pain, I guess I’m injured)
