Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 216 214. Information and Reasons

Rand, who came out of the Earl's Mansion, was a little worried. Although his army had a lot of people, they were not good at fighting in the woods. If they entered the forest rashly, it would only make things worse.

Tania was going to the capital first to give back gifts to the Queen and King Dusen, while Rant took Sophia and Johnny to the black market to purchase some useful magic materials.

The black market was as lively as ever. Sophia and Johnny almost sprained their necks when they came here for the first time. Rand turned around several shops and stalls selling magic scrolls.

There are only some relatively elementary magic scrolls in the entire black market. Most of the magic on these scrolls is at level 3 (junior mages can release it directly, but a few magician apprentices can also draw it), and some slightly more complicated level 4 magic is also at level 1 Variations, such as Howe Fireball.All kinds of magic scrolls generally cost about [-] gold coin. Fireball scrolls and hydrotherapy are the most, followed by ground stabbing and a small amount of ice.

Fortunately, there are 3 people around Rand who can draw scrolls. What I really need to buy is magic animal skin paper and 3 or 4 kinds of ink, so I went to the magic material store after learning a little about the market at the street stall.

"My lord, you are here." The shopkeeper took the initiative to welcome Rand into the shop as soon as he saw him, "I specially bought some medical scrolls here, as well as this kind of water-gathering magic pattern board and flame magic pattern board. Used in the forest."

"Why use the magic pattern board in the forest?"

"My lord, you don't know about the Frostwolf Forest. It's very humid there, but there are few rivers in the forest. If you're not familiar with it, it's hard to collect clean water. With the water gathering board, you can drink water at any time, and with the flame board, you can drink water at any time." To make a fire, each board is not expensive, and you can use 2 gold coins as long as you have a magic crystal."

"It's really practical." Lan nodded, and there were these magic pattern boards on the grassland before, "Put it here first, do you still have the purple potion from before?"

"Yes, and more, how much do you want?" The boss heard that Rand wanted to buy potions, so he ran to the back of the counter and took out two magic sealing boxes. "The quality of those potions is very good, and I don't have much in stock now."

"My lord, are you in a hurry to give Agni the potion now?" Sophia whispered to Rand, but he just shook his head slightly.

"Your potion is really good. I heard that this kind of purple clover is rare in the Kingdom." Rand picked up a batch of potion and weighed it.

"Look at what you said, this kind of magic plant has high requirements on light and planting technology, and the general lord can't serve it well." Looking at Lante, the store manager felt that there was something in his words, so he could only follow along. .

"So, only the large tribes in the Frostwolf Forest have the technology to plant, right?" Lante obviously smiled at the shopkeeper, but in his eyes, it was an alarm bell.

"I bought the magic plant on the front foot, and found out the location of the tribe, but I'm going to expel them on the back foot. It can't be that the final payment has not been paid, so I plan to let it go?"

"I don't know what you said, we just run a shop," the shop manager dripped with sweat, and the lord in front of him was becoming more and more majestic, knowing that he couldn't do anything, But still can feel the danger.

"Of course," Rand suddenly relaxed, "You are the owner of the shop, and I am also a potion buyer. There are still many opportunities for us to cooperate." As he spoke, he patted the shop owner.

"Yes, yes, what do you want, my lord, just tell me." The shopkeeper felt like he had received an amnesty, and felt that today's test was over, but unexpectedly, Rand suddenly approached his ear, and he was forced to move .

"Let me just ask, are the plant sellers and the attacked tribe the same tribe?" Rand interrogated the shopkeeper in a very soft voice. The shopkeeper also knew that the Earl's behavior was not authentic, but he didn't dare to admit it. Before he could open his mouth in a trance, he felt the strength on his shoulders suddenly loosen.

"You go and help me get 300 empty monster skins and commonly used ink. I'll make some scrolls here." Seeing the shopkeeper's tangled look, Rand probably knew what was going on, and it wasn't difficult for him.An empty Warcraft leather paper is very cheap, dozens of pieces can be cut from a level 0 Warcraft, but skilled cutting workers are needed.

Nowadays, the low-level Warcraft skin paper on the market simply uses artificially bred level 0 highland goats, a few silver coins per piece, and you can get a discount if you buy too much; the same is true for magic ink, the more the quantity, the cheaper it is, and the more expensive the magic scroll is, the more expensive it is. On wages.

Before leaving, Lante found an alchemy copper horn on the wall of the store, which was said to have been used by the Grand Army before, and he bought it for dozens of gold coins.

Back at the chamber of commerce, Sophia and Johnny still didn't understand what was going on, and even if they told Kai twice, they still couldn't figure it out.

"My lord? What is the relationship between the purple clover you mentioned and that shop?" Sophia asked.

"Why don't you understand?" Kay understood. "There are excellent magic plants in that tribe. After buying them, the Earl wanted to take the whole field for himself, so he sent troops to expel them."

"Um, my lord, if this is the case, wouldn't it be good for us to fight?" Sophia felt a little embarrassed when she heard that, as if she had participated in a robbery.

"You can't just see one side of everything. If half-orcs are really good men and women, how can they surround a 60-member knight group?" Lante was concentrating on sorting out the materials, and said coldly, "I just watched According to the supplementary materials they sent, this half-orc tribe has more than 70 demon possessors. Even if the orcs have a higher probability of inspiring blood than humans, the total population of this tribe is between 300-400."

"Sophia, you have all stayed in barbarian camps. If a tribe has more than 150 people, it means that this tribe is no longer an ordinary tribe. Otherwise, they have mining like the Gray Goose and Brown Bear tribes, or other farming and animal husbandry beyond ordinary The tea industry, or there is other external support.” On the Benma Plain, every tribe with a population of more than 150 is not simple. From a sociological point of view, this is the upper limit of an individual’s ability to maintain relationships at the same time. Those barbarians and tribes None of the Orc tribe's possessors has been able to break through this limit.

But now, there is a half-orc tribe with 70 combatable soldiers. Considering that the half-orc tribe can fight with more limited groups, such as the rabbit tribe, deer tribe, scale tribe, etc., they can't fight at all. It can only explain this The aggregated population of the tribes was even greater.Hundreds of orcs gathered together, there must be no reason at all, no one who can manage things.Such a tribe is stuck on the outskirts of the two earldoms in the west and northwest, so it is strange that no one pushes forward.
