Lant came out of the Earl's Mansion and was a little worried. Although his army had a lot of people, it was not good at fighting in the forest. If he entered the forest hastily, it would only make things worse.
Tania will first go to the royal capital to return gifts to the Queen and King Duson, while Lant will take Sophia and Jonny to the black market to purchase some useful magic materials.
The black market was as lively as ever. Sofia and Jonny, who were here for the first time, almost sprained their necks. Lant visited several shops and stalls selling magic scrolls.
There are only some relatively basic magic scrolls in the entire black market. Most of the magic on these scrolls are at level 3. There are also some slightly more complex level 4 magics that are also variants of level 3, such as the powerful fire ball.
Various magic scrolls generally cost around 1 gold coin, with fireball scrolls and hydrotherapy being the most common, followed by ground stabbing and a small amount of ice spells. The most popular life healing scroll was sold out long before the eldest son set out.
Fortunately, there were three people around Lant who could draw scrolls. What he really needed to buy was magic animal skin paper and 3 or 4 types of inks, so he went to the magic materials store after learning a little about the market at a street stall.
"Sir, you are indeed here." As soon as the shopkeeper saw Lant, he took the initiative to welcome him into the shop.
"I have specially purchased some medical scrolls here, as well as these water-gathering magic pattern plates and flame magic pattern plates, which are all used in the forest."
"Why use magic pattern boards in the forest?"
"Sir, you don't know the Frostwolf Forest. It's very humid there, but there are very few rivers in the forest. If you're not familiar with it, it's difficult to collect clean water. With the water gathering plate, you can have water at any time, and with the flame plate, you can drink water at any time. To make a fire, each board is not expensive, 2 gold coins can be used as long as you have magic crystals."
"It is indeed very practical." Lant nodded. There were these magic pattern boards on the grassland before.
"Put it here first. Do you still have the purple potion from before?"
"Yes, and how much do you want?" When the boss heard that Lant wanted to buy magic potion, he ran directly behind the counter and took out two magic sealing boxes.
"The quality of that batch of potions is very good, and I don't have much in stock now."
"Sir, are you in a hurry to give Agni the magic potion now?" Sophia whispered to Lant, but saw that he just shook his head slightly.
"Your magic potion is really good. I heard that this kind of purple alfalfa is rare in the kingdom." Lant picked up a batch of magic potion and weighed it.
"Look what you said, this kind of magic plant has high requirements on light and planting technology. The average lord can't take care of it well." The store manager looked at Lant and felt that there was something in his words, so he could only follow it. .
"So, only the large tribes in the Frostwolf Forest have the technology to plant, right?" Lant was obviously smiling when he spoke to the shop owner, but in his eyes, it was a wake-up call.
"The front leg bought the magic plant and found out the location of the tribe. The back leg is going to expel the tribe. Isn't it because I haven't paid the balance and am planning to let it go?"
"I don't know what you're talking about. We just open a shop." The store manager continued to sweat droplets. The lord in front of him became more and more majestic. He knew clearly that he could not do anything. But I can still feel the danger.
"Of course," Lant's tone suddenly relaxed,
"You run a shop, and I just buy potions. There are still many opportunities for us to cooperate." As he said this, he patted the shop owner.
"Yes, yes, sir, what do you want, just tell me." The shop owner felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He felt that today's test was over, but unexpectedly, Lant suddenly came to his ear, and he was forced to move. .
"Let me ask, are the people selling plants and the people being attacked from the same tribe?" Lant asked in the shopkeeper's ear with a very slight voice. The shopkeeper also knew that the count's behavior was not authentic, but he did not dare to admit it. Suddenly, before he could speak, he felt the strength on his shoulders suddenly loosen.

"Go and get me 300 empty pieces of Warcraft paper and commonly used ink. I'll make some scrolls here." Looking at the shopkeeper's tangled look, Lant probably knew what was going on, so it wasn't difficult for him.
An empty piece of Warcraft leather paper is very cheap, and dozens of pieces can be cut out of a level 0 Warcraft, but it only requires skilled cutting workers.
Nowadays, the low-level Warcraft leather paper on the market is simply made of artificially bred level 0 ibex. Each piece costs several silver coins and one silver coin. If you buy more, you can get a discount; the same goes for magic ink. The more quantity, the cheaper it is. The more expensive the magic scroll is, the more expensive it is. On wages.
Before leaving, Lant found an alchemy copper horn on the wall of the shop. It was said to have been used by the Grand Army in the past, and he bought it for dozens of gold coins.
After returning to the Chamber of Commerce and getting ready to draw a scroll, Sophia and Jonny still didn't understand what was going on. Even after telling Kai Yin twice, they still couldn't figure it out.
"Sir? What does the purple alfalfa you mentioned have to do with that store?" Sophia asked.
"Why don't you understand?" Kai Yin understood.
"There were good magic plants in that tribe. After the count bought them, he wanted to take the entire field as his own, so he sent troops to drive them away."
"Um, sir, if that's the case, wouldn't it be a good idea for us to go and fight?" Sofia was a little embarrassed after hearing this, feeling as if she had participated in a robbery.
"You can't just look at one side of everything. If the orcs are really good men and women, how could they surround the 60-person knights?" Lant concentrated on sorting out the materials and said coldly,
"I just read the supplementary materials they sent. This half-orc tribe has more than 70 demon adherents. Even if the orcs have a greater chance of inspiring blood than the human race, the total population of this tribe is between 300-400."
"Sophia, you have all stayed in barbarian camps. If the number of a tribe exceeds 150, it means that it is no longer an ordinary tribe. Otherwise, like the Gray Goose and Brown Bear tribes, they have mining or other activities that exceed ordinary agriculture and animal husbandry. Tea industry, otherwise there will be other external support." On the Benma Plain, every tribe with more than 150 members is not simple. From a sociological perspective, this is the upper limit for an individual to maintain a relationship at the same time. Those barbarians and None of the demon-lovers from the Orc tribe could break through this limit.
But now, there is a half-orc tribe with 70 combatable soldiers. Considering that the groups that can fight in the half-orc tribe are more limited, such as the rabbit tribe, muntjac tribe, scale tribe, etc., they cannot fight at all. This can only show this The total population of tribes gathered is even greater.
Hundreds of orcs gathered together, there couldn't be no reason at all, and no one who could take care of things.
Such a tribe is stuck on the periphery of the two counties of the west and northwest, and it is strange that no one is pushing it.
