Chapter 21 Mu Zhuo’s overtures
Chapter 21 Mu Zhuo’s overtures
On the martial arts ground.
More than twenty knights gathered in a circle, looking at the black rock leopard in the middle with bright eyes, as if they were seeing a beautiful woman taking off her clothes..
As long as you are a knight, there is no one who does not want to own a fine war horse..
Although the Black Rock Leopard is not a war horse in the strict sense, it can also be used as a mount..
The key is that this mount has the combat power of a junior knight, not much better than a war horse.？
How majestic it would be to ride on it！
On the battlefield, he is invincible！
“Sir, your Excellency, can you give me one of the black rock leopards first?？”
After hearing this, the other knights were immediately dissatisfied..
“Why should I give it to you, an alcoholic, first?？”
“I am an intermediate knight, I should go first！”
“Bah, I have the best riding skills, you should give it to me first！”
“You are riding a horse, this is a leopard！”
“Aren't they all similar?！”
“Damn it, I'm good at riding women, should the Black Rock Leopard give it to me first?？”
Seeing that everyone was developing into a quarrel, Keyi rubbed his brow with a headache, waved his hands and said: "Shut up, everyone, this black rock leopard should be given to Brad first.".”
Brad, who was standing quietly by the side, didn't expect such a surprise, and suddenly beamed with joy..
“Thank you, Your Excellency. Thank you, Your Excellency..”
Qiao Dun and others looked at each other, curled their lips and said nothing..
Brad has a high prestige among the knights and is one of the best in strength. The first black rock leopard was given to him first, and the others had no objections..
As for Key, Sunan has already said that he will refine a more powerful black rock leopard for him later..
Sunan threw a necklace to Brad and said: "This is the key to control the Black Rock Leopard. As long as you wear it, the Black Rock Leopard will be under your command, but it can only accept some less complex instructions.".”
“I understand, thank you！”
Brad put on the necklace excitedly, and under the envious eyes of others, he rode the black rock leopard and ran wildly around the training ground..
Key turned to look at Sunan and asked: "How long does it take to refine a black rock leopard?"？”
“Just three or four hours.”
Seeing Keyi and the knights looking happy, Sunan poured cold water on them again..
“The material of the Black Rock Leopard is black stone iron and gemstones. One head costs about thirty-eight gold coins..”
Hearing this, Keyi frowned, but then relaxed again..
Compared to the increase in military strength, the cost of thirty-eight gold coins is nothing..
As long as the Blackstone Mining Area is open for a day, Blackstone City will have a steady stream of gold coin income..
In contrast, what Blackstone City is in urgent need of now is military power..
Only with a strong army can we defend the cash cow of the Blackstone Mining Area..
“Don't worry about the money, I will take care of it, and then I will work hard for you to refine the Black Rock Leopard..”
Su Nan nodded calmly.
In addition to meditating and making secondary active potions every day, he now spends the rest of his time reading, and basically uses meditation instead of sleeping. It is not difficult to take a few hours to refine the Black Rock Leopard..
Moreover, refining the Black Rock Leopard can also increase the proficiency of puppet refining. As you refine more and the level increases, the time spent will become shorter and shorter..
This matter won't take up too much of his energy.
Two months passed in a blink of an eye.
In the Summer Moon (June), the rising temperature burns the leaves, and the scorching sun licks the ground day after day..
Although the weather is very hot, the faces of residents in Blackstone City are covered with smiles.
With the restart of the Blackstone Mining Area, a large number of caravans were attracted to Blackstone City.
The prosperity of business has raised people's living standards to a higher level.
Although the city has just absorbed a large number of refugees not long ago, the Black Rock Mining Area, the army and the reclamation of wasteland have digested this batch of refugees very well, greatly eliminating the impact of the refugees on Black Rock City..Everyone can see the prosperity of Black Rock City and are more hopeful for the future..
It is worth mentioning that Sunan’s birthday is also in the Summer Moon..
Although Sunan said no, Keyi still insisted on holding a 17th birthday party for him..
All the knights in Black Rock City, as well as several chambers of commerce that work closely with Black Rock City, sent representatives to attend the banquet..
Mu Zhuo, the president of the Firefox Chamber of Commerce, came over personally and presented a precious gift to Sunan - twelve rubies.！
Maybe he found out that Black Rock City is acquiring gems..
In any case, this gift worth hundreds of gold coins is unique among all the gifts given by the guests. It is so generous that many people are secretly surprised..
Su Nan was also a little surprised.
He could feel Mu Zhuo's intention to have a good relationship with him, but he just didn't understand why the other party would do this..
Could it be that Mu Zhuo was aware of his identity as a wizard's apprentice?？
And also understand the meaning of the status of wizard apprentice？
Su Nan was confused, but he did not reject Mu Zhuo's overtures, and had a warm conversation with him during the banquet..
“I heard that the old fox Mu Zhuo likes to invest in young people with potential. He probably already knows that you are a wizard apprentice, and he probably understands how powerful a wizard apprentice is, so he gave you such a big gift..”
After the banquet, Keyi and Sunan returned to the study. After sitting down, they talked about Mu Zhuo's actions tonight..
“However, the Firefox Chamber of Commerce has influence throughout the Principality of Jinghua, and it also has cooperative relationships with many chambers of commerce in the Principality of Stars. If you make friends with him, it will be much easier for you to collect wizard books and materials..”
“Indeed." Sunan nodded and glanced at Keyi, "What happened? You seem to be a little absent-minded tonight..”
“You saw it out.”
Key smiled bitterly, then looked serious..
“I arranged for the spies in Glitter City to receive information. Zolf, Norwood and Devin will all attend the harvest celebration held in Glitter City three months later.！”
Zolf, Norwood and Devon were all subordinates who followed Baron Arnest on the battlefield, and they were promoted to Lords by him..
However, when Baron Arneste died unexpectedly on the battlefield and Owen broke out to seize the title of baron, the three of them were intimidated by the power of the Marquis of Jinyan and chose to protect themselves wisely..
It was precisely because of the silence of the three of them that Owen was wary and did not eliminate the two brothers immediately..
However, Key will not be grateful or forgive the three of them..
“If it weren't for their father, how would those three guys have the chance to obtain the title of Lord? But they don't know how to be grateful at all, and now they are turning to join that bandit. Damn it.！”
Compared to Keyi's anger, Sunan seemed calm and calm, and said calmly：
“Except for Black Rock City, Owen has now completely controlled the entire Flash Territory. I think he will attack us soon..”
Ke Yi suppressed his anger and frowned..
What Su Nan said is also what he is most worried about now..
After thinking for a while, he quickly made up his mind, slapped the armrest of the chair hard, stood up and said solemnly：
“We can't delay it any longer. We will attack the Black Scaled Lizardman's lair in three days and deal with the nearest threat first.！”
After two months of training, the cavalry regiment formed by Key has begun to take shape..
Although there are only more than sixty people, there are twenty knights, and the rest are all trainee knights..
More importantly, the entire cavalry regiment is equipped with a black rock leopard as a mount.
Although he was a little rushed in time, with this cavalry regiment in hand, Key was still somewhat confident that he could destroy the black-scaled lizards..
“Let's do it, I'll go with you." Su Nan stood up and said.
If the war is postponed to the Moon of Scrolls (August), and he is promoted to the second-class wizard apprentice before taking action against the black-scaled lizards, the losses will be minimized..
Now, even if we can win, the losses will inevitably be relatively large..
But that's not necessarily the case. After all, he still has the magic scroll as his trump card..
If you're lucky, you might get a good result.
