On Tuesday morning, when Mace came back, he brought four glass boxes worth Rand. This kind of box is usually used by magicians in the city to contain living water monsters, so the glass has strong magic patterns. .
Lant wrote a letter and asked his knights to take the letter to the teleportation hall. He used the morning to go to the magic material store and ordered two Warcraft horses and a Warcraft beast from the store. Lant guessed that the store There should be specialized Warcraft breeding farms as suppliers.
"Sir, I know you are riding a good magical beast horse. We don't have war horses here, only draft horses." When the store owner first saw the raging fire at the door, his eyes almost fell out. If it hadn't been for Lant. As he spoke, his tongue was about to lick Liehuo's hoof.
"I want a Warcraft horse, any kind of horse, as long as I can find it." As he spoke, Lant put his hand on the shopkeeper's face and turned his head at an angle where he could see himself, "That's mine. Horse, what should I do if I can’t pull it out?”
"Hey... Sir, I'm really rude. I haven't seen such a majestic horse in so many years." The store owner smiled, but his eyes kept glancing out of the door.
"By the way, help me see if you have this thing." Lant took out the projection crystal from the Bull Tribe from the space ring.
"Hey, you are really a rare product." Now the store's eyes no longer glanced outward, "Your product is a specialty of the orcs. You can't buy it without 50 gold coins. The key is that it has a price but no market. We don't have it here. Sold.”
The store owner unconsciously went to take the crystal in Lant's hand, but before he could touch it, Lant dodged it and said, "I have no intention of selling this."
"That's... that's it." The store owner showed a flattering face. "This thing is called memory crystal here. It can only be found in a few mines on the orc side. It is extremely rare."
I definitely don’t have Warcraft war horses, I’ve never heard of beasts of burden that can ride like bulls, I’ve heard of memory crystals but they don’t sell them, and it will take about half a year to get magical plant seeds suitable for planting on the grassland.
"Sir, I heard it. You are from the Galloping Horse Plains, right?" After several rounds of inquiries, the store owner basically understood the characteristics of rand demand. "To be honest, these things of yours are not as good as what we have here." If you are looking for it, you might as well buy it from a barbarian or an orc."
"Hey" Lant took stock of what he wanted, but got this answer, "As long as I can buy it from the orcs, why should I come over and talk to you?"
Lant didn't get much in the magic shop all morning, but Dugan Blue Dragon arrived.
"This is Wendy's mother. She worked under Viscount Drizzt in the Southern Marquis. Her previous husband is gone and now she has a new husband." Dugan looked at a piece of A4 paper-sized material. As he spoke to Lant, the paper read Wendy Traister.
Lant didn't remember Wendy mentioning that he had such a last name, let alone what happened before she was taken to Galloping Horse Plains.
Dugan completed Lant's task and found the family information of five girls, Wendy, Lili, Sophia, Joni and Firefly, from the student roster over the past five years. The families of these girls are basically non-demon people. , distributed from the Bai Xiao Earldom in the northernmost part of the kingdom to the Elk Marquis territory in the southernmost part.
With such a wide distribution, Lant also knew that Dugan would not be able to help with the rest of the matter, so he could only ask Antreqi, who had great hands and eyes, to help.
Lant was still very grateful to Du He. He wanted Du He to take charge of the business in the royal capital first, and wait until next spring to lead the knights to develop in the Lot territory.
After all, Du He had not resigned from his job at Blue Dragon School, but he was no longer in a hurry and pledged his allegiance to Lant on the spot.
After hearing the oath of allegiance, Lant told Du Heu about being recruited by the eldest prince's people yesterday. Lant had not seen the tricks of the royal capital and asked Du Hei to analyze the pros and cons for him.
"My lord, this so-called court earl means nothing to you." The corner of Du Heun's mouth tilted up with a contemptuous smile. This guy is indeed a veteran in the capital, and he understood the eldest prince's intention as soon as he heard it.
"After the prince becomes a duke, he will confer you the title of court earl. Even if His Majesty has no objections, you will still have to perform your duties under the duke.
As a court earl, you are at least the captain of a knightly order with at least 50 knights, but where did the Duke himself get 50 knights? It is impossible for the families behind him to provide so many knights." At this moment, Dugan looked at Lant and nodded.
"So I can only send a large group of knights to protect His Highness the Prince?" Lant's pupils shrank, as if his head had been hit. "Does the co-authored prince want to prostitute me for free? No, does he want to use 50 of my knights as his subordinates?"
Combined with what Ren said before that the prince is willing to subsidize Lant to raise troops, it is obvious that Lant is asked to send 50 knights to Dragon Tooth City.
"A knight group of 50 people needs a senior knight or great knight to be the leader. It is not easy for you to find a senior knight. There are many people like the Bai Xiao family and the Red Dragon family of my mother's family behind the great prince.
At that time, they sent three high-ranking knights and one big knight to oust you. You held the position of regimental leader for nothing and lost a cavalry team of 50 people in vain. "Duggan followed his own thoughts and expressed his conjecture, continuing to look at Lant and waiting for him to digest the information.
"The tricks in the city are really deep." Lant drank water and lowered his eyes to cover up his ignorance. On the other hand, he also felt that he was right to take in the high-ranking knight in front of him. Although this guy definitely had his own selfish motives, he understood the king. Du's routine also has a resounding Blue Dragon family name.
If you know the tricks, you can avoid pitfalls for yourself, and if you have a good reputation, you can trick others. As long as the value he brings exceeds the cost of tricking yourself, you can accept him.
"But there are definitely benefits to joining the eldest prince," Dugan continued his analysis after watching Lant think for a while. This time he wanted to fully demonstrate his deep understanding of the royal capital's tactics and get a first prize in front of the new lord.
"For example, if you really capture the Galloping Horse Plains, but your level is not high enough, then as an ally, the First Prince will definitely be able to support you in occupying the plains first, and maybe even provide you with magic potions."
On the other hand, if I had not made it clear that I had offended the eldest prince, he would definitely not let me eat the Galloping Horse Plains easily, right? Lant kept thinking.
"Do you know the attitude of the legends towards the eldest prince's accession to the throne?" The attitudes of other people can be completely ignored. The most important thing is the opinions of each legend towards Li Qi.
"I don't know, but the eldest prince must know what happened nine years ago. He wants you to win over you because he hopes that you, a lord with a large army, will not be snatched away by others."
Although Lant had hundreds of knights and cavalry in his hands, he still had to rely on them to conquer the entire Galloping Horse Plain. Lant, who had a blueprint in mind, could not possibly let half of the knights come to the royal capital, but he rashly rejected the future king, which was obviously unacceptable. Not a wise move.
When I glanced at Dugan, I knew from his nonchalant expression that Dugan couldn't give any more appropriate advice on this matter. What to do really had to be decided by Lant himself.
