Chapter 14: Put on armor!
After all the swamp lizardmen were escorted away, McKen looked at Lear with a subtle look.
"Sir Lear, if you still need slaves in the future, you can come to my Dragon Fang Chamber of Commerce. We will definitely give you the lowest internal price."
This is the lord favored by Her Highness Philena. Just based on this relationship, he has great potential in the future.
Not to mention his mysterious methods.
Only such a lord can gain a foothold in the wilderness!
Lear nodded.
"Then thank you in advance, President McKen. I will definitely bother you again in the future."
"Look at what you said, too polite."
After a few more polite words, Lear did not stay any longer and got on the carriage arranged by the other party and returned to the Rose House.
McKen looked at his back as he left, the smile on his face gradually faded, and his eyes became deep.
"Unfortunately, I can't afford to gamble anymore. The stakes required to invest in a pioneer lord are too high."
When Lear returned to the Rose House, Jasmine, the high-level knight maid next to Philena, who was at level 12, was waiting at the door.
Her golden hair was particularly dazzling.
"Sir Lear, the supplies sent by His Highness have been placed in the side yard, please count them."
"But the 100 craftsmen will not be delivered to you until tomorrow."
Although I don't understand why His Highness values this downtrodden noble who lived in the slums two days ago.
But since she has given the order, no matter how confused she is, she must ensure that the task is completed.
Lear nodded slightly.
"Miss Jasmine, you have worked hard."
Just after the two of them exchanged a few polite words, the carriages carrying the wetland lizardmen slowly stopped on the spacious flat ground.
One after another, the swamp creatures covered with gray-green scales turned over.
The muscles bulged high, full of power.
The amber eyes were cold and ferocious, as if they were about to devour someone in the next second.
When the other party's eyes swept over them, the backs of several doormen who were welcoming guests suddenly felt cold.
It was too scary.
"Sir, all the wetland lizardmen have been delivered..."
The leader of the escort car strode forward.
Li Er looked at the armored 9th-level knight and smiled.
He reached out and took out a dozen silver coins and handed them over.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone, please have a glass of rum."
1,000 gold coins bought a 6th-level army. This wave of profit was too comfortable. It was hard not to feel happy.
The leader took the silver coins and his smile on his face immediately became brighter.
"You're welcome!!"
Extra money, no matter how little, is not too little, no matter how much, is not too much.
After saying that, he didn't stay for long and turned around and left with 3 teams of guards.
Jasmine, who was standing by, saw this scene and had a little surprise in her eyes.
"You bought lizardmen as guards?"
Lear looked at these ferocious lives, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
These are all capital for development!
"Yes, Miss Jasmine."
The other party opened her mouth to say something, but closed it again, and finally said hesitantly.
"Your Highness asked, when are you going to leave?"
After each pioneering lord chooses a territory to develop, he has a month to prepare.
When the deadline expires, he must go to the Grand Duke's Mansion to apply for an extension, which cannot exceed three months at most.
If he has not set off after three months, he will be punished by imperial law!
At the least, he will be exiled and his property will be confiscated, and at the most, he will be directly executed for desertion.
In this extraordinary world, you can't even escape.
"I can only make a decision tomorrow, but no later than half a month."
The other party nodded in understanding.
"Good luck to you."
He added hesitantly.
"Your Highness values you very much."
Lear smiled and said nothing.
He turned his head and glanced at the wetland lizardmen who were as obedient as kittens.
"Miss Jasmine, where is the armor?"
"It's all inside."
Nodding and waving.
"Follow me."
All the wetland lizardmen followed without hesitation.
The supplies, carriages and horses were all in the side yard, but the driver left without staying.
Rose House is the property of the Princess of Loran City, and the area it occupies is also exaggerated.
A side yard is larger than the manors of many small nobles.
The horse pulling the carriage is a mottled unicorn, with a shoulder height of more than two meters and looks very strong.
At this moment, it is chewing grass in front of the carriage leisurely.
The armor is piled on the ground, forming a small hill, reflecting the cold metal light.
Each set of armor is equipped with a sharp steel knife.
Staring at these armors, the attribute panel quietly emerges in my mind.
Standard armor
[Level]: 1 star
[Features]: Made of tempered steel, it has good defense, and the addition of dwarven skills makes the armor suitable for most humans and humanoids under two meters tall.
[Evaluation]: Standard armor with good durability.
1-star armor, two hundred sets!
Li Er took a deep breath.
"Everyone, wear armor."
After receiving the order, the wetland lizardmen immediately came up excitedly, picked up a pair of armor, and helped each other put it on.
These armors with obvious dwarven craftsmanship are very well designed.
The 1.7-meter-tall lizardman wears them and fits the body very well.
The black armor exudes a cold light, and the sharp steel knife in his hand makes the wetland lizardman look even more fierce.
The thick, strong and powerful tail is like a crocodile's long tail, passing through the special tail of the armor. Once the force is exerted, it can easily break branches as thick as arms.
The amber eyes reveal ferocity and bloodlust, making people's hearts tremble.
They are a bit shorter than the soldiers guarding the Rose House, but they are no less imposing.
It already has scales as a defense, but after putting on armor, its combat effectiveness reaches a new level.
Two squadrons of fully armed level 6 junior knights.
Looking at the wetland lizardmen lined up in front of him, Lear felt very emotional.
Two days ago, he was living in the slum in the Ninth Block, thinking hard about his future.
Two days later, he had a force that belonged entirely to him, a large amount of materials needed for development, and a godhead that was enough to make the world crazy!
The future is in your hands!
The smile on the corner of the mouth gradually became wanton!
As Philena's personal maid, Jasmine was more like a secretary. She had a lot of work at hand. After the wetland lizard man put on his armor, he said goodbye and left.
Lear didn't treat him differently and took out about ten silver coins, but the other party politely refused.
As someone close to the princess of Luolan City, she has no shortage of money.
Return to Rose Manor and immediately go to meet the princess of this city, the most dazzling goddess in the north.
"Your Highness, all the supplies have been transported to the House of Roses. When I arrived, Lord Lear happened to return, and he purchased a group of slaves as guards."
Speaking of this, his face looked a little strange.
Feilena noticed her strangeness and said slowly.
"But what's the problem?"
"That's true, but the slave guards purchased by Lord Lear are a group of wetland lizardmen!"
Wetland lizard people?
Feilena's eyes were a little curious.
"In the slave market, only the Dragon Tooth Merchant Guild recently purchased a group of wetland lizardmen. The Colosseum must be very fond of these swamp creatures. Why are they now sold to Lord Lear?"
This flower of the North, Rose of Lorraine, is not a genius who can only study magic as the outside world thinks.
Instead, four years ago, when she had just turned twenty, she began to get involved in the government affairs of Loland City. In just one year, she won the respect of all the government officials.
It will take time to fulfill these titles of future extraordinary mage.
The controller of Lorraine City, Queen Lorraine, can also describe the Flower of the North at this moment.
It's just that these things are kept secret, and only the highest levels of the Grand Duke's mansion and the top nobles in Loland City know about them.
Jasmine looked strange.
"Your Highness, you have transferred the steward of the Colosseum. He originally had a close relationship with the Dragon Teeth Chamber of Commerce."
"Furthermore, the Wetland Lizardmen are ferocious in nature and cannot be suppressed by the Ring of Slavery. The Colosseum is unwilling to purchase them."
Feilena raised her eyebrows slightly.
"It's true that the wetland lizards are ferocious by nature. I killed many of them seven years ago. Why did Lord Lear choose them? Can you control them?"
Can you control it?
Jasmine had a strange look on her face when she thought of the wetland lizard man who was as obedient as a kitten and did whatever he was told.
"Perhaps, somewhat to your surprise, those wetland lizardmen not only did not reveal their ferocious nature, but were very docile, as if they had been completely tamed by Lord Lear."
Philena smiled softly.
"That makes sense."
Jasmine was a little surprised.
"Your Highness, are you not surprised?"
surprise? Nothing to be surprised about.
A descendant of a down-and-out noble who came out of the slums, he could deal with her calmly and tell her that they had become friends in front of him.
Could such a character be an ordinary person?
Philena looked out the window, the blue sky reflected in her sapphire blue eyes, looking extremely mysterious.
