Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning

Chapter 147 147. Gathering the wool

Luo Ning wants to form a team of knights. This time he needs to buy at least six war horses and twenty riding horses.

Among them, war horses are prepared for professional knights, and riding horses are allocated to cavalry.

The quality of horses in Muma City is well-known in the entire Wushan Territory and its surroundings. The horse farm that Luogna brought Luo Ning here today is a high-quality horse farm, so the quality of every horse here is very good.

If the quality of the horse is good, the price will naturally be higher, and the horse buyer will naturally have to pay a lot of gold coins.

Through Luogna's detailed introduction, Luo Ning finally figured out the approximate price range of various quality war horses in Muma City.

普通品质战马每匹40~60金，精良品质100~150金，优秀品质300+金币；

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

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

If these more than 100 horses are sold at market prices, I don't know how much money they can make.

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

Therefore, the war horses purchased by Luo Ning today were at the lowest price of each type, while the riding horses were purchased at the middle price.

The only soybean planting area is not large, and it is barely enough for Luo Ning to spend. How can there be any leftover for horses to eat?

During the Three Kingdoms period, there were rattan armor soldiers, and now he has iron wood soldiers. It is not impossible to build an iron wood cavalry.

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

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

The crops in Shanlin Town are too monotonous. Oats are rare, let alone corn and alfalfa.

He still has 1562 gold coins in his hand, so he has to buy more.

He did a little calculation and found that just these forty-four horses cost him a full 980 gold coins!

You must know that this is the price after the special discount. If it is a normal transaction, Luo Ning may not be enough if he spends all his savings.

In addition to grass, in order to maintain the condition of the war horses, corn, oats, alfalfa, bran, soybeans, etc. also need to be prepared.

"There are still more than five hundred gold coins left. Let's go back and buy some feed, seeds, wrought iron..."

Luo Ning could only turn his mind to the Black Iron Tree.

After paying the deposit, Luo Ning got the purchase contract and agreed to take the horses away after returning from Wushanpu.

However, Viscount Marvin had already told Luogna that he would give Luo Ning the greatest preferential treatment.

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

As the saying goes, if you miss this village, you won't have this shop. He can't expect Viscount Marvin to give him special discounts every time. After all, people need to make money when running a horse farm.

These horses should only be able to eat grass after buying more.

After some calculations, Luo Ning made a decision. He needed to purchase two fine war horses, twelve ordinary war horses and thirty riding horses.

Luo Ning sighed secretly. The three thousand gold coins he earned from Wushan Fort last time were basically spent.

You have to wear some protective gear on your war horse, right?

Putting iron armor on the horses is another huge sum of money.

But no matter what, this is a big expense.

Luo Ning now understood why it was said that a real baron should have a complete team of knights.

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

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

After Luo Ning finalized the horse matter, all the things he had to do when he came to Muma City this time were completed.

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

Yesterday, Luo Ning only talked about ordinary war horses and riding horses, but did not mention sophisticated war horses.

Now there are two more excellent war horses on the list, which were obviously added temporarily. Rogner also smiled and said: "I think he must be running out of money, otherwise he would definitely buy more."

"You really know how to take advantage."

Marvin put the list aside and paid no attention to it. He even gave away the Cloud-Stepping Horse at the beginning, so giving away a few more horses is nothing.

And he could see that Luo Ning was no longer like before, and sponsoring the other party was completely profitable.

……

Since Iron Shoe Castle's convoy still needed a few days to prepare, Luo Ning had a rare few days of rest.

Originally, Rogner and his girlfriend, the female knight Kurami, wanted to invite him to take a good tour of Wuma City and visit places like the Colosseum and the Arena.

But Luo Ning politely refused on the excuse that he was tired from traveling.

He said to the outside world that he needed to rest, but in fact he was practicing fourth-level fighting skills and magic in his own courtyard.

After being promoted, he can learn the storm blade fighting skills, tearing, and wind tentacle magic in terms of wind attributes;

At the same time, with the fire attribute, he can master the flame whirlwind fighting skill used by Leisen, as well as the flame beam magic.

Except for the "Tearing" magic, which he obtained from the magic core of the Storm Wolf, the rest were given to him by Rulans.

Luo Ning discovered through study that fighting skills and magic are actually very similar in form, both are the use of extraordinary power.

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

Tear, on the other hand, mobilizes 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 through his mind.

"It's a pity that the power of the same magic cannot increase with the strength of the magician. If the power can be increased by injecting more fighting spirit like fighting skills, the 'Wind Blade' magic will be 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. Finally, 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.
