Chapter 17 The best mount
Chapter 17 The best mount
Leaving the courtyard, Sunan walked towards the main building of the inner fort..
The patrol soldiers he met along the way saluted him and said hello..
In order to keep secrets, Sunan asked his eldest brother to block the news that he had become a wizard's apprentice..
Because of this, the civilians and ordinary soldiers in Blackstone City don't know much about Sunan. They only know that the lord's younger brother is somewhat withdrawn and usually lives in seclusion..
Only the knights who know the inside story will be in awe of Sunan from the bottom of their hearts..
Entering the main building, Su Nan went straight to the study on the third floor..
Except for being in the meeting hall when discussing matters with the generals, Keyi usually handles government affairs in the study or goes to the martial arts training ground to practice..
According to usual habits, he should be in the study at this time.
Looking at her disheveled clothes, red cheeks, and damp hair, it was obvious that she had just experienced an intense exercise..
Seeing someone coming up, the maid turned around and saw that it was Sunan. She was startled and saluted at a loss..
“Master Su Nan.”
Su Nan glanced at the maid with a strange expression..
He vaguely remembered that the maid seemed to be a widow, but he didn't expect that the eldest brother would be lucky..
“Go down." Su Nan waved his hand..
The maid hurriedly excused herself.
Sunan stood at the door for a while, then opened the door and walked in..
Key behind the desk has already dressed and is holding a book and reading intently..
Hearing the sound of the door opening, he raised his head and said with a natural smile: "It's Sunan, do you have anything to do with me?"？”
Sunan didn't expose him, pulled up a chair, sat down, and asked, "How's it going over there in the Blackstone Mining Area?"？”
“Very smooth！”
Mentioning the Black Stone Mining Area, Key suddenly had a smile on his face..
“It's only been half a month, and we've already made hundreds of gold coins by selling black stone iron..”
“This is just the beginning. The output of the mining area will further increase in the future. When it stabilizes, the territory can earn at least four to five thousand gold coins every year by selling black stone iron.！”
The annual income of a viscounty is probably only four to five thousand gold coins..
Blackstone City has an annual income comparable to that of the Viscounty in just one city. The gold-making ability of the Blackstone Mining Area is evident..
“What was the reaction from Glitter City? "Su Nan asked.
There is so much movement in the Blackstone Mining Area that it cannot be concealed for long..
If nothing else, Glitter City must have known about the restart of the Black Stone Mining Area by now..
As long as Irving is not stupid, he can't just watch Black Rock City develop and grow relying on the Black Rock Mining Area..
I can tell with my toes that he will definitely try to stop me..
Keyi's smile faded and he mused: "The buyers of black stone iron are mainly the lords and chambers of commerce in the Principality of Jinghua. If they don't take the route of Jinyan Province, it's not that easy for Owen to intercept them..”
The Principality of Jinghua is as famous as the Principality of Stars, and its border happens to be bordered by Black Rock City..
If we trade with them, the caravan route can reach Black Rock City without passing through the Golden Rock Province, and we don’t have to worry about Owen taking advantage of checkpoints along the way to embarrass us..
Of course, Owen could have sent troops to cut off the route..
But if that happens, the nature of the Jinghua Principality will likely change..
Unless he has no choice but to do so, Irving will most likely not be so impulsive..
But we need to prevent the other party from using other means..
“I plan to form a cavalry." Key suddenly said.
Su Nan raised his eyebrows and quickly reacted.
The reason why Owen was able to occupy the title of baron and suppress the other three lords in silence was because he had an elite cavalry regiment of 500 people under his command..
Sooner or later, Black Rock City will face Irving, and it must be prepared for this in advance..
The best way to respond is to form an equally powerful army.
“It will cost a lot of money." Su Nan said.Key nodded: "Purchasing war horses and armor costs a lot of money..”
In this era, war horses and armor were extremely expensive items.
Adding a war horse and a set of armor is impossible without thirty or forty gold coins..
The subsequent cavalry training, war horse raising and equipment maintenance are a huge expense..
It can be said that the cavalry regiment is the Golden Cave, and most of the tax revenue in many territories is basically consumed on it..
It is precisely because of this that the number of cavalry under his command has become the criterion for judging the strength of a lord..
Even if Blackstone City has the cash cow of the Blackstone Mining Area, it will still be very difficult to form an elite knighthood..
“If that's the case, I have a way." Su Nan's eyes flashed slightly..
“What can be done？”
Key's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to ask.
Having seen many of Sunan's magical methods, it can be said that he has great trust in his younger brother..
Hearing Su Nan say there was a way, he suddenly felt hopeful.
“Black rock leopard." Su Nan's words were concise and concise..
Key immediately understood what he meant, and his eyes suddenly lit up..
He has already seen the fighting power of the Black Rock Leopard, and it is even more powerful than the knight..
The key is that this kind of puppet creation is not afraid of death, will not get tired, and does not need to eat. If it can be used as a mount, it is definitely the best mount.！
“Can you refine the Black Rock Leopard? "Keyi looked at Sunan expectantly..
“It should be no problem." Sunan said.
Thanks to the gain effect of the active potion, the learning progress of puppet refining has accelerated a lot during this period, and now it has exceeded90%.
In four or five days at most, he will be able to master this skill.
Then you can refine the Black Rock Leopard..
“Very good！”
Key was so happy that he subconsciously stood up and paced back and forth excitedly. He didn't know what to say for a while..
The cavalry regiment with the Black Rock Leopard as its mount is definitely the strongest cavalry army in Jinyan Province..
If he could control such a cavalry regiment, it didn't need to be too many, just 300 people, he would have the confidence to counterattack Glitter City.！
In addition to being excited, Keyi looked at Sunan and secretly sighed deep in his heart..
After returning from the mine, he got the enlightenment book from Sunan and wanted to test his potential to become a wizard's apprentice..
As a result, after opening the book and reading only two pages, my head hurt as if it was going to explode. I had no choice but to give up..
It turns out that he does not have the qualifications to become a wizard's apprentice.
Key regretted this for several days..
But later he figured it out, it didn't matter if he couldn't become a wizard apprentice, as long as Su Nan was there.
With Sunan's support behind them, the two brothers will definitely be able to revive the Arnest family..
After a while, Keyi calmed down his inner turmoil and patted Sunan's shoulder hard..
“I leave this matter to you. If it can be done, you will be a great contributor to our family.！”
When Su Nan heard this, he just smiled lightly, dropped the topic, and mentioned the purpose of his coming here..
After hearing this, Keyi slapped his forehead and said with a smile: "I was just about to tell you about this.".”
He stood up and walked out of the desk, motioning for Sunan to follow him..
“A while ago, I entrusted the Firefox Chamber of Commerce in the Principality of Jinghua to help find what you want. They just arrived in Blackstone City this morning and should be resting in the tavern now. Let's go and take a look..”
