Lord Harland.

However, the real value of the breathing method is not that high. It is just that the great nobles use the monopoly of knowledge to forcibly increase the difficulty of obtaining extraordinary knowledge, which not only squeezes talented professional officers, but also reduces competitors by the way, restricting small Aristocratic development.

Compared with a complete barony, the value of a set of breathing techniques is actually not that high. After all, it is difficult for most ordinary people to advance to the fourth level after practicing breathing techniques for a lifetime.

The Silver Wolf Breathing Technique that can be practiced to the fifth level is enough for ordinary soldiers to practice. The exchange price for the first eight levels of breathing techniques is less than 5,000 gold coins, and the exchange price for the next four levels of breathing techniques is as high as 95,000 gold coins.

The more knowledge that can threaten the nobles, the more valuable it will be.

A set of breathing techniques that can be practiced to the ninth level is estimated to be one hundred thousand gold coins, and there is no price on the market. The complete breathing technique cannot be purchased with gold coins at all. It needs to serve the nobles and exchange for military merit.

Mastering a more powerful meditation method is of course more valuable. According to the general unspoken rules, the price of things used by magicians is at least three times that of warriors.

A complete meditation method such as the Highland Meditation Method is worth three times the Silver Wolf Breathing Method, equivalent to the resources of a viscounty, which is equivalent to approximately 300,000 gold coins when converted into gold coins.

As for the Xinghui meditation method, which can involve rules, it is already a priceless treasure, and it cannot be exchanged with ordinary resources at all.

There is no shortage of meditation resources in Harland's territory. There are three sets of advanced meditation methods. Richard has a deep understanding of the root of magic, and he can also deduce meditation methods.

In terms of meditation background, Harland Territory Mage Association is better than the royal family.

But for the lower-end breathing method, Harland's territory lacks foundation and is in short supply.

The plane of dawn is an extraordinary world, and the knowledge of the extraordinary world is monopolized. Unless Richard is willing to spend time studying the rules of the breathing method and deducing and completing the Silver Wolf Breathing Method, he will have to be squeezed by the great nobles.

Everyone who climbs up has to pay a price, and the price is either life or money.

Li Cha's daily schedule is very tight, not only to practice breathing and meditation, but also to find time to do magic experiments.He also needs to deduce the two meditation methods of the Book of Flame and the Book of Curses, and always pay attention to the development of magic technology in the territory.

In addition, Richard also needs to manage the territory, pay attention to people's livelihood, understand craftsmanship, and even redress injustices for ordinary people and punish corrupt officials.

Every day, Li Cha's schedule is very full, and he has no time and energy to deduce the silver wolf breathing method.

Moreover, Li Cha's understanding of breathing method is not deep, and he has no unique insight. There is no legendary breathing method in the territory, and there are no samples. It is very difficult to deduce the breathing method.

In order to enhance the attraction to talents and prevent it from becoming a talent transportation center, from a long-term perspective, the Silver Wolf Breathing Method must be exchanged.

"Ten thousand gold coins per griffon is not impossible, but I will castrate the male griffon to monopolize the precious magical resource of griffons. Can the royal family agree to this request?"

In the blink of an eye, Li Cha found an excuse to deliberately make things difficult, so as to raise the value of the lion duck trade.

After hearing what Richard said, Maurice's expression changed. This was what he was most afraid of, because what Richard said was in line with the values ​​of most nobles in the Dawn Plane.

The great nobles naturally like to monopolize everything. Richard went to Edward and Jonathan to buy wildebeests, but he could only buy geldings, forcing him to establish his own wildebeest breeding farm to break the big nobles' desire for Warcraft horses. monopoly.

The most taboo thing about King Roger sending Morris to trade lion ducks is this.

Nolan hopes to use the traded lion squirrels to slowly domesticate and breed, expand the population, and establish the lion squirrel knights.

If it was only for the purpose of cultivating ten lion knights, the Kingdom of Roger would not pay attention to it at all, and there was no need for Morris, a special envoy, to come forward.

"If it is a castrated griffon, the transaction value will be much lower, and the nobles of the royal capital will also have opinions on Viscount Richard. The exchange of resources between us is a matter of mutual benefit. If Viscount Richard does not agree with my offer, If you are satisfied, I can write to the royal capital and improve it as appropriate."

"I want the complete silver wolf, wild lion, and wild bull breathing method. In addition, I want Tenghui Potion, pieces of enchanted armor, and magic crystals."

The exchange of resources between nobles sometimes does not consider the specific value, but is limited by the relationship between supply and demand and the desire for transactions.

There is no doubt that the royal family is more eager to trade with the Haaland territory.

The royal family provides ordinary resources. Although they are of high value, they are not in short supply on the market.

Harland's territory brought out groups of lion owls. Apart from King Ryan, it was a unique and precious resource nearby.

It is impossible for the Lion Kingdom to sell gryphons. If you want to cultivate the gryphon knights, the only hope is to exchange with Richard.

For this reason, the Kingdom of Roger gave Maurice the authorization of 300,000 gold coins.

In addition, another reason is that the strength of the Harland family is already extraordinary. Their status in the Grant Kingdom is equivalent to that of a reserve noble. Their position is also very important and cannot be easily suppressed.

If the royal family wants to get something from the great nobles, it must bleed and compromise.

If Richard becomes an earl, King Roger may have to spend more resources if he wants to obtain the gryphon population.

If it were not the Harland family but Duke Jonathan who obtained the gryphons, there would be no exchange at all. Instead, they would monopolize the gryphons and cultivate their own order of gryphon knights.

Seeing Morris showing his weakness, Richard naturally asked the lion to open his mouth, and showed an expression of victory, unwilling to bargain.

Richard's request exceeded Morris's authority. If you ask for help from the royal capital, you will leave an impression of incompetence.

For a moment, Morris showed an annoyed expression.He suppressed the negative emotions in his heart, and continued: "Silver wolf breathing method can be cultivated to the ninth level, and I have enough authority to trade. But the barbaric cow breathing method can't, this breathing method can be cultivated to the legendary second level. Richard The Viscount should know that the king will not take out legendary level things easily. My authority here can only be traded to the ninth level and cultivated to the sixth level of professional. I can promise to let Richard The Viscount transcribes, but must sign a non-disclosure contract.

The annual output of Tenghui Potion is not much, only 500 bottles can be spared, and only 6,000 magic crystals can be allocated.

As for the enchanted armor, Harland's territory is not lacking at all, and I don't think it is a resource that must be traded.If Viscount Richard must enchant armor, I can only mobilize some from the Northern Legion. "

Seeing that Richard still refused to let go, Morris continued to persuade: "Viscount Richard, the Harland Territory also needs royal support. Giving a good impression to the nobles of the royal capital is very critical to the development of the territory. Last time the Harland family and Viscount Richard's handling of the conflict in the Holland family was a bit too tough. The conditions I have given here are already the maximum authority, worth about 300,000 gold coins, and your Excellency the Viscount should be satisfied."

Li Cha knew that it was almost Morris' bottom line.

If it is necessary to enchant the armor, Morris will only be recruited from the brigade commanded by William. In the end, William is not a human being inside and outside, which makes the officers and soldiers of the Northern Army feel resentful.

After thinking for a while, Li Cha made another request: "We are conducting a magic experiment recently, and we need to use a lot of discarded magic crystals. I need magic crystals that have exhausted their magic power. If the king can provide this If you discard the magic crystal with a pen, I will agree to your terms."

"Viscount Richard, minting gold coins privately is a serious crime, you must not do it recklessly?"

"Baron Morris, how can I challenge the royal family's right to mint money? I want to use discarded magic crystals because I want to study the technology of charging and reusing magic crystals. Recently, I have thought of an experimental direction that requires a large amount of discarded magic crystals. experiment."

In fact, Morris didn't fully believe what Richard said, but delayed a little: "Although the discarded magic crystal is worthless, I will report this matter to the capital, and you have to sign an agreement not to use the discarded magic crystal to cast gold coins." Soul contract."

After thinking about it for a while, Richard finally agreed to Morris' request.

After Morris' urgent letter was delivered to the capital, King Roger approved it almost immediately.

With the approval of Roger Kingdom, Richard exchanged ten lion ducks with the Grant royal family for a resource.

Obtaining the follow-up breathing method of the Wild Lion Legion has saved Li Cha a lot of trouble. Now Li Cha has practiced the breathing method to the eighth level and has been promoted to a fifth-level fighter.In a few years, we will have to find a way to exchange follow-up breathing.

Fortunately, the breathing method of the Wild Lion Legion has been widely spread. It is not a breathing method monopolized by the royal family. Many nobles have their collections. Otherwise, Richard will be blackmailed and pay more resources.

The silver wolf breathing method has also completed Harland's territory this time. With a complete breathing method, talents can be retained. For the great nobles, excellent talents are the most precious resource.

The first half of the Bull Breathing Technique is also exchanged, which is enough to train most soldiers and officers.

The exchange of the breath method strengthened the heritage of the Harland family, but in a short period of time, it could not improve the combat effectiveness of the Harland family.

After getting a large sum of magic crystals, Richard would of course want to purchase some resources to enhance his combat effectiveness.

Richard immediately used a thousand magic crystals to buy a hundred iron horned horses from Duke Edward, and formed a second squadron of monster cavalry. The squadron leader appointed the third-rank soldier Julian.

If it weren't for the lack of professionals and elite cavalry in the territory, Li Cha even planned to continue to expand two squadrons of monster cavalry.

The soldiers of the Second Warcraft Squadron were all drawn from the infantry squadron, and 500 Tenghui potions were used on the veterans. Forty-two professional officers were trained in the Harland Territory.

This group of new professional officers were basically transferred to the Second Warcraft Squadron to serve as the backbone.

Soros also stepped down as the captain of the first Warcraft Squadron and was promoted to the captain of the Warcraft Brigade.The position of squadron leader was handed over to the eldest son Kent.

Kent is thirty-eight years old and has just been promoted to a third-level warrior. His qualifications are not particularly good. Although Soros has invested a lot of resources, it will be difficult to advance to the sixth level before the age of sixty.

For ordinary warrior professionals, their health will decline after the age of sixty, making it basically difficult to advance.

In fact, nobles with average qualifications, even if they invest resources and work very hard, can basically be promoted to the fourth and fifth ranks when they are old. If the aptitude is poor, they may not be able to be promoted to the third rank.

Ordinary free people can't keep up with nutrition, and they don't know words, so they can't grasp the essence of breathing method.And because of the pressure of life, there is not much time to practice breathing methods, and the threshold for exchanging exercises is very high. After working in the main army until they are in their fifties, most of the soldiers are only at the first and second ranks.

Those like William and Roland who became mid-level professionals in their thirties are also very rare in the main army. Such people are the officers that the army focuses on.

The development of William and Roland is very different. Talent is not the main reason, what matters is luck and opportunity.

The Warcraft Cavalry Brigade in Harland's territory now has two Warcraft Cavalry squadrons and two heavy cavalry squadrons. There are a total of 200 Warcraft cavalry and 300 heavy cavalry. In addition to the guards, command and logistics personnel of the brigade, the total number is about 600.

Although there are fewer people in the brigade, the combat effectiveness far exceeds that of the infantry brigade, which is very powerful.

In May of this year, Richard's third uncle Bernie was also promoted to the sixth level and his military rank was promoted to colonel. Bernie is forty-five years old this year. According to his age, he should be able to advance to the eighth level professional before he is sixty years old.

Without a particularly great opportunity, it is almost impossible to be promoted to a legend.

In the spring of this year, Richard's cousin Audrey Dark was also promoted to a third-level knight, catching up with her brother Morgan Dark.

Although his uncle Thoros had good talents, he was not as good as his two children. Counting illegitimate children, Thoros had given birth to more than ten children, three of whom had awakened the blood of knights.

Morgan became a third-level knight at the age of thirty, and his talent is already very good. Audrey's talent was even more outstanding, and she broke through to the third level at the age of twenty-five.

Knights have awakened the power of bloodline spells and can fight at higher levels than warriors. According to Audrey's age, if life goes well, she can reach the legendary realm before she is sixty years old.

At the same time, the second captain, Captain Lost, also advanced to the fourth-level knight in April.

Sophia's cousin Behrman also successfully broke through to the fourth level.

There is also good news from the Mage Association. After years of accumulation, the second-level magician Heath has been promoted to the third level, and the magic level of Butler and Anne has been raised to the second level. Bella, the first apprentice to practice the Book of Fire, was also successfully promoted to a first-level magician.

Last year, the Territory developed the abandoned magic crystal charging technology, and the magicians of the Territory made contributions. During the period after the success of the magic crystal charging technology, the feedback on meditation was particularly good, and the accumulation time was relatively long. All the main magicians advanced smoothly.

Li Cha's younger sister Wendy, because she is the main researcher of the magic crystal charging technology, has the deepest insight and the best feedback during meditation, and has successfully promoted to the fifth level.
