Chapter 14 Wear armor!
After all the swamp lizardmen were escorted away, McCann looked at Lear with a subtle look.
"Your Excellency Lear, if you still need slaves in the future, you can come to our Dragon Tooth Chamber of Commerce and we will definitely give you the lowest internal price."
This is a lord who is favored by Her Highness Feileena. With this relationship, he has a promising future.
Not to mention its mysterious methods.
Only such a lord can gain a firm foothold in the wilderness!
Lear nodded.
"Then thank President McCann in advance. I will definitely bother you again in the future."
"Look what you said, that's very polite."
After a few more polite words, Lear didn't stay long and got on the carriage arranged by the other party back to the House of Roses.
McCann looked at his leaving back, the smile on his face gradually faded, and his eyes became deep.
"Unfortunately, I can no longer afford the gamble. The chips required to invest in a pioneer lord are too heavy."
When Lear returned to the House of Roses, the 12th-level high-level knight maid beside Philena, Jasmine, was waiting at the door.
Her blond hair is particularly dazzling.
"Your Excellency Lear, the supplies sent by His Highness have been placed in the side yard. Please take inventory."
"But those 100 craftsmen won't be able to deliver it to you until tomorrow."
Although I don’t understand why His Highness values this down-and-out nobleman who was living in the slums so much just two days ago.
But now that she had given the order, no matter how confused she felt, she had to ensure that she completed the task.
Lear nodded slightly.
"Miss Jasmine, thank you for your hard work."
The two of them had just exchanged a few polite words when the carriages transporting the wetland lizardmen slowly stopped on the spacious flat ground.
The swamp lifeforms covered with gray-green scales turned over and fell down.
The muscles bulged high, filled with a sense of strength.
The amber eyes were cold and ferocious, as if they were going to choose someone to devour in the next second.
When the other party's gaze swept over them, a sudden chill ran down the spines of the doormen who were greeting guests.
It's so scary.
"Sir, all the wetland lizardmen have been delivered..."
The leader of the escort vehicle strode forward.
Lear looked at the level 9 knight wearing armor and smiled a little.
He reached out and took out a dozen silver coins and handed them over.
"Thanks everyone, please give me a glass of rum."
I bought a level 6 army for 1,000 gold coins. I made so much money this time, and it was hard not to feel good about it.
The team leader took the silver coin and the smile on his face immediately became brighter.
“You’re welcome!!”
No amount of extra money is too little, and no amount of extra money is too much.
After saying that, he didn't linger much, turned around and left with three teams of guards.
Jasmine on the side saw this scene with a bit of surprise in her eyes.
"You purchased a lizardman as a guard?"
Lear looked at these ferocious beings, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
These are all capital for development!
"Yes, Miss Jasmine."
The other party opened his mouth to say something, closed it again, and finally said hesitantly.
"Your Highness asked, when are you planning to set off?"
After each pioneer lord chooses to develop a territory, he has one month to prepare.
When it expires, you must go to the Grand Duke's residence to apply for an extension, which cannot exceed three months at most.
If you fail to leave after three months, you will be punished by imperial laws!
It ranges from being exiled to the army and having their property confiscated to being directly executed for desertion.
In this extraordinary world, you can't even escape.
"A decision can be made tomorrow, but no later than half a month."
The other party nodded clearly.
"Good luck."
Then he added hesitantly.
"His Highness values you very much."
Lear smiled and said nothing.
He turned around and glanced at the wetland lizard man who was as obedient as a kitten.
"Miss Jasmine, where is the armor?"
"It's all in there."
Nod and wave.
"follow me."
All the wetland lizardmen followed without hesitation for half a second.
The supplies, along with the carriage and horses, were all in the side yard, but the coachman didn't stay and left.
Rose House is the property of the Princess of Luolan City, and its area is also exaggerated. A side yard can be larger than the manors of many small nobles.
The horses pulling the cart are variegated unicorns with a shoulder height of more than two meters and look very strong.
At this moment, he was chewing grass leisurely in front of the carriage.
Armor was piled on the ground, forming a small hill, reflecting the cold metallic light.
Each suit of armor comes with a sharp steel knife.
Staring at these armors, the attribute panel quietly emerged in my mind.
Standard armor
[Level]: 1 star
[Characteristics]: Forged from hundred-forged steel, it has good defense power, and added with dwarf skills, making the armor suitable for most humans and humanoids under two meters tall.
[Evaluation]: Standard armor with good sturdiness.
1-star armor, two hundred sets!
Lear took a deep breath.
"Everyone, wear armor."
After receiving the order, the wetland lizardmen immediately came forward excitedly, picked up a pair of armor, and helped each other put it on.
These armors are very well designed with obvious dwarven craftsmanship.
The lizard man who is 1.7 meters tall wears it and it fits the body very well.
The black armor emits a cold light, and the sharp steel knife in his hand makes the wetland lizard man look even more fierce.
The thick, powerful tail is like the long tail of a crocodile. It penetrates from the specially made tail of the armor. Once it exerts force, it can easily break branches as thick as an arm.
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?
Felena’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 20, 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 obedient, 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.
