I Want To Be a Nobleman

To be honest, Harlott was very upset when he heard that the other party used human slaves as a ransom, not dissatisfied, but simply angry.

Harlott does not oppose slavery. The prisoners who committed crimes and poor people who cannot support themselves become slaves. He does not oppose it. He does not have a Virgin Mary.

However, he is really uncomfortable with the arbitrary behavior of arresting civilians and hunting fellow nobles.

Just like watching movies in the previous life, he didn't like villains who did all the bad things and had no bottom line, but he didn't show his dissatisfaction. Most nobles in this world are scumbags, and there are very few like Marcus.

Harlot doesn't have the ability to change the world. He can only choose to close his eyes and turn a blind eye to ensure that his people are not violated. It is the limit to ensure that his territory is full of order.

Harlott put aside his personal emotions and analyzed the conditions given by Ramon. He is now very short of money. The goods of the wizard Leonard only sold scrolls, valued at 120,000. As for the messy and rags, none of them were sold. go out!

He is now in debt of 80,000 gold coins!

Part of the original money in Harlott's hand was used to make up for the material and labor costs of the "Armor of Ello", and part of it was used to process the "Scaly Armor of the Giant Snake", which had long been used up.

"Armor of Airo" is the latest armor that the dwarf master built for Harlott. The quality is very good and reaches the level of legendary equipment. The dwarf master Airo is named after himself.

The "Snake Scale Armor" is an armor made from the scales of the monster snake. There are a dozen sets of armor. Harlott gave ten [Lion Knights], Lucius, Kent, and two rogue knights one piece of equipment. On, the rest was given to Marcus and Kryon.

They must have better equipment, but Harlot will still give it away. As for the invincible armor originally worn by Shador, she is now completely loyal to Harlot, and she can return it anytime she wants. When he came back, Harlott really wanted to lend this weapon to Shaduoer if he hadn't kept the Hydra and the crossbow useful.

The two caravans have also made some money in the past six months, even without Harlot’s [Trading] skills, they have earned tens of thousands of gold in two or three trades, but Shaduoer from the Wing Man Dynasty wants to manage territory and develop strength. There must be financial support, and the money from the caravan cannot feed back the money earned to Harlot.

Harlott did not feel distressed either. This was a necessary early investment. After that, Shaduoer gained a firm foothold. Not to mention intelligence and political assistance, a new territory that can be secretly manipulated can completely win back all the investment. .

Drinks in the Dwarf Kingdom are also sold at a good price, but most of the money is used to buy high-quality heavy horses. [Lion Knight] is too strong, and the weapons used are also heavy and heavy maces. Normal horses are not strong enough. .

The price of heavy horses is very expensive, especially after the outbreak of war, each one costs a few hundred gold coins. This kind of horses has poor endurance and needs to be recuperated frequently, and you have to buy a lot of spares.

Harlott considered that he would frequently travel to the various territories of the Kingdom of Korundo, so he bought 50 horses directly, and he planned to find a way to breed them in the future, so the other caravan did not get much money.

Now Harlot urgently needs money to meet the development of the territory and repay the debts, the two nobles can't be executed anyway, they simply put down the ransom.

"Well, you ask them to send the money and slaves. When I receive the ransom, I will release people. However, the guy who used the slave to compensate, you let him change the 30,000 gold coins into human slaves!"

Harlott saw a good opportunity from this compensation, a good opportunity for him to grow rapidly. In this era, population is the most important!

There is so much land. The territory of the Thunder Tribe is much larger than that of the Kingdom of Kolundo. As soon as the war is over, Harlot can immediately lead his troops to open up wasteland, and his army is very powerful.

Wealth is also not lacking. Recently, Harlott was in financial difficulties for a short time by creating legendary equipment and supporting the Wingman Lord. His caravan quickly made money. After the war is over, several human kingdoms will be restored to the Chamber of Commerce. Faster.

Population is the biggest problem that Harlott faces when he wants to grow. He now has a total of only tens of thousands of people. Among them, the City of Forge and its affiliated villages account for more than half. There are many dwarves and other demihumans. Lot, the human nobleman, is not 100% obedient.

It is difficult for the population to grow rapidly. Even if Harlot encourages childbirth, it will take a long time for the next generation to grow up. After more than ten years, the time for land reclamation and expansion will be completely wasted.

The Kingdom of Korundo is vast and sparsely populated, and every lord cares about the population. It is difficult to increase the population at ordinary times. Only then can Harlot develop quickly in troubled waters during this turbulent war period.

The village of Korundo was destroyed. There were many homeless civilians, and many were arrested outside and reduced to slavery. There were hundreds of thousands in total. If these people can be subdued, then they will be second only to them. Marcus, the great nobleman of the King of Prague.

The more he thought about it, the more he became involved, and even came up with the gloomy idea that he would not rescue other territories and allow the enemy to invade and generate a large number of refugees, but Harlott wisely dispelled this idea.

To gather these homeless civilians, a good reputation is very important, and if he deliberately refuses to rescue other nobles' territories for the purpose of digging walls, he will definitely offend other nobles to death.

Besides, Harlott did not participate in frontal combat. If he only focuses on his own development and does not come forward in national crisis, I am afraid that even Marcus will be disappointed in him. On the contrary, if he fights actively, he frequently repels the enemy nobles. Not only will he not be blamed for his aggression, he will also be commended by the kingdom, and the promotion of the title is not a problem.

"No problem, that guy doesn't have many other territories. There are too many slaves. During the war, the market price of human slaves is about 2-10 gold. I will try to help you ask for more."

There is no shortage of population in the Kingdom of Babylon, and no shortage of slaves. Ramon agreed to Harlott's terms in one fell swoop.

"Brother, you know that you are easy to talk, don't worry, they will not participate in the war against the Kingdom of Korundo anymore. Neither army nor knights will be sent. This rule will not be deliberately broken!"

It is true that the nobles will not be put to death if they are defeated, and they can leave safely if they pay the ransom, but they must ensure that they will not join the battle again, and no one is responsible for letting the tiger return to the mountains, and would rather shut you down until the end of the war.

After Ramon was in a good mood, he started drinking tea and chatting with Harlot. Ramon talked about the management experience of the territory. Harlot also talked about the experience of the Wingman Dynasty, the Dwarf Kingdom, and the Fairy Forest. Say.

The two talked enthusiastically. Ramon was of good nature and asked, "My brother, how do you think this war will end?"

Harlot thought for a moment, the legendary powerhouse Korundo and Chiat will certainly not perish, especially the Kingdom of Chiat, as the legacy of the empire, has a profound heritage and is stronger than the other three kingdoms combined.

Lukanier and the Kingdom of Kolundo, the Kingdom of Babylon, tried their best to fight for the object of peace, and there was a high probability that they would not lose anything. The Kingdom of Chiat was ambitious, and the King of Prague tended to unite to contain the Kingdom of Chiat.

"It should be their own losses. Finally, peace talks. The other three kingdoms should be allocated some land reclamation rights from the Kingdom of Korundo. The Kingdom of Korundo has shown its strength and backbone, and it should also be able to guarantee the independence of the country!"

Harlott’s answer is rather conservative. He really doesn’t think any country will really be destroyed in this war. There is no deep hatred. No matter how fierce it is, it is for profit. There are threats from other races. Armistice and peace talks will happen sooner or later. It is nothing more than the difference between the size of the damage to the Kingdom of Korundo and the amount of gains of other kingdoms.

Ramon smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, but expressed his own opinion: "The Kingdom of Qiat will never cease war easily. I have reliable news that King Aldor found the sun power that was lost thousands of years ago. The stick is already asking the Sun Ritual to help repair it!"

Harlot was startled suddenly, "The sun scepter? Is it the human artifact ‘sun scepter’ that has been handed down from ancient times as recorded in that book?"

The sun scepter can induce the power of the sun to create various miracles, artificially create heroes and nobles, release the god-defying magic that surpasses legendary magic, and make the owner immortal. It is known as the world's strongest artifact.

Mankind created the prosperous Qiyat Empire with this artifact, defeated the lizardmen, enslaved the orcs, and became the overlord of the mainland. It was also the loss of the sun scepter that caused the human beings to be defeated by the orcs that rose later.

Ramon looked solemn and nodded and said, "Yes, this is what an old friend of mine said. He is one of the priests of the Sun Temple. He definitely told me that the scepter contains infinite divine power, and it is most likely the sun. Scepter!"

"The Scepter of the Sun was left by the ancestors of the human race in ancient times. It is a great gift of the Sun God and an artifact used to protect the human race. To activate the Scepter of the Sun, hundreds of bloodline nobles need to swear an oath. King Aldor affirms I want to take this opportunity to unify the human kingdom!"

Harlott heard the breaking news and hurriedly asked, "Who will this scepter belong to? King Aldor?"

"Of course not. It is owned by all nobles. No one is qualified to monopolize it. Don't worry about it~www.readwn.com~ In the record, even the legendary powerhouse has no ability to control the sun scepter!"

Count Ramon is worthy of being a veteran nobleman in the Kingdom of Babylon. Apart from a slightly weaker military force, his heritage is no less than that of the Marquis family.

"The great phenomenon of the sun scepter is for the rise of our humanity. The Aldor Kingdom should be like his ancestors to become the hero of the establishment of a new empire. It is praised by thousands of years of records. If it is not unified, his glory will be greatly reduced. !"

Ramon said this, deliberately lowered his voice, and said meaningfully: "The survival of the country is not so important. Nobles are nobles wherever they go. The King of Prague must have known about this a long time ago. He has his own plan. You Don't be others' pawns like those idiots!"

Harlott didn’t say a word. Marcus probably didn’t know about it. Prague, as a king, had a connection with the Temple of the Sun. Ramon happened to have an old friend who was a sun priest. He reminded Marcus as soon as possible. . This war is not as simple as he thought.

At the same time, Harlott’s heart is boiling, and every human being will be excited about the rise of mankind. If the sun scepter is really as strong as recorded in the book, then Marcus has always dreamed of "countering the orcs" and even It's all possible.

And human beings, perhaps, can really use the power of this ancient artifact to return to the peak of the mainland again. In this way, any lizardmen and wingmen are not afraid of it. He is still worried about a fart!

Sun Scepter! If I can own this artifact, don't I have the power to change the world?

This thought in Harlott's mind flashed away, and he was amused by his own overpowering.

However, the seeds of ambition have been planted, waiting for the right opportunity to take root.
