Warlord: King of All Clans

As deep winter approaches, the weather becomes worse and worse, and the Isenbol area becomes like the north, with light snow every three days and heavy snow every five days.

If you don't clear the snow outside the house, it will pile up as high as a person.

On every street in Riverbend Town, there are kobold cleaning teams working hard to clear the snow.

In the normal northern countryside, at this time, no matter north or south of the Anzeno River, everyone hides in their houses, relying on the remaining warmth from last night's firewood to get through the day.

But in the river bend, even in the waist-deep snow, there were traces of people walking everywhere.

Some people work overtime to earn more money, but many people go out just to have fun.

After the year-end review, the knighting ceremony was soon held. This time, a total of twenty members of the River Bay Lord's Mansion would receive the title of knight.

In addition to the fifteen manor knights, there are also five titled knights.

The Manor Knights were the traditional knights of the small fiefdoms of the empire. They had not formally entered the aristocratic system of the empire. Instead, they were a traditional means for nobles at all levels to use their own private property to win over the powerful.

The titular knights are the original corner flag knights, but in Hewan, they only have the right to name the knight territory but not the actual right to rule. The knight territory under their name is managed by the lord's mansion.

In addition to the salaries they receive from their jobs, the knights of Riverbend also receive annual dividends from their knight titles, which means they become small shareholders of Riverbend.

This year, every manor knight will receive an annual pension of twelve gold coins, and every titled knight will receive twenty-four gold coins.

Together with his own salary, it was enough to provide the knights with food, clothing, and daily necessities, and to support a few servants so that they could live a decent life.

Currently, this is the highest title that Riverbend can bestow, but most of the higher-ups know that the only thing limiting the advancement of Riverbend nobles is the ambition of Grand Lord Leo Mondo.

Because there are several ogres among the knights being canonized this year, Olivia believes that Fesa, as the king of ogres, also needs to witness the canonization, so she asks Seti to go to the Mage Tower to call her out.

Ever since Buck Fortress was captured, Fesha has been confined to her house by Olivia. She can only go to River Bay Elementary School and go to the Mage Tower for further studies every day.

Compared to studying, Feisa prefers doing experiments in the Mage Tower.

There are more and more mages in the River Bay Mage Tower. In addition to the mid-level mage Morse and his team, there are several low-level mages studying here and working for River Bay.

Seti came to the Mage Tower with ease, walked up the spiral staircase, and arrived outside Fesa's exclusive alchemy laboratory.

The small alchemy room was filled with bottles and jars, emitting a strong smell of mixed chemicals, which made Seti sneeze.

The laboratory floor was covered with traces of corrosion, burning and impact.

Even though she had no common sense about alchemy, Seti instinctively felt a great danger and was unwilling to enter the laboratory.

In the laboratory, Feisa was wearing alchemical goggles, with her hands raised, staring intently at the experiment in front of her.

Behind her were Ilewen and several other gnolls who had awakened their magical abilities.

Under the control of magic, transparent acid and mercury floated in the air, slowly came into contact, then rolled violently, and emitted an extremely pungent smell.

“Smell it!”

Following Fisa's order, Ileven walked forward, sniffed for a while, then fell to the ground with his tongue sticking out.

"faint!"

When Feisha saw that Ileven fell to the ground and twitched but did not foam at the mouth, she knew that she had made the right move.

When the reddish-brown alchemical potion stopped tumbling, she took out a bottle of cassava liquor that had been purified many times and poured it into the alchemical potion.

A violent chemical reaction occurred again, and the reddish-brown alchemical potion immediately turned into a gray turbid liquid.

“Smell it!”

Another extraordinary dog-headed man also walked forward and sniffed for a while, then fell to the ground with foam at the mouth, "Disgusting!"

Feisa nodded vigorously and waited for the turbid liquid to finish reacting before she manipulated her magic power to extract the water from the potion.

Soon, only a little bit of crystal dust was left floating in the air.

Fisa placed it on a stone slab far away from the laboratory and said to the last dog-headed man, "It's your turn."

The last extraordinary kobold picked up his hammer and started knocking.

With a loud bang, the extraordinary dog's hair was charred, and only the wooden handle of the hammer in his hand was left, and the hammer head was embedded in the ceiling.

The two unconscious gnolls were also awakened by the shock and started shouting together.

"Woof woof woof! New Explosion!"

The ogres who can enter the Mage Tower are all extraordinary mages, and their immunity to toxins is much stronger than that of ordinary ogres.

Because there was no previous experience, Fraser could only let the dogs use their extraordinary sense of smell to smell each step of the experiment to determine whether there was anything wrong with her formula.

This is the unique alchemy of the Kobolds!

The vibration of the explosion startled all members of the Mage Tower. They all looked up at the ceiling, then looked at each other silently and shook their heads helplessly.

According to the alchemical secrets of the Morse school of magic, Fraser used the purest saltpeter to make nitric acid.

Then, alcohol was extracted from the distilled cassava wine from Hekou Town.

Finally, it was combined with mercury to make fulminate of mercury.

The alchemists of the empire were actually unsystematic chemists. Various schools of thought had methods for preparing three acids and two bases, as well as all kinds of strange and bizarre explosives.

It’s just that alchemists themselves are extraordinary wizards with noble status and rarely participate in battles, so they don’t need to study these expensive explosives for use in actual combat.

Only a rebellious low-level wizard like Denise would make some alchemical products to enhance the power of spells.

Fraser has been repeating this experiment for a month, constantly adjusting the material ratio, and now he has finally succeeded.

Thanks to Leo's support, there is no shortage of funds and materials. The only drawback is that it is a bit time-consuming.

Looking at the burnt marks on the stone slab, Fraser felt sorry.

Although fulminate of mercury is more powerful than black powder, it is more difficult to store and transport and can only be produced on a makeshift basis.

Moreover, the cost of making a fulminate of mercury barrel is a thousand times that of a black powder barrel. Not to mention mass production, even Fraser, the rich woman in River Bay, would not be willing to make one for fun.

After they finished the experiment, Seti poked her head outside the laboratory tremblingly, "King Fisa, Master Leo asked you to return to the big house to participate in the knight canonization ceremony."

"Six and Nairn are both going to be knights."

When Feisa heard this, she was very angry. "Why should Leo crown you as the Kobold Knight? I am the King of Kobolds! I don't accept it!"

Without thinking, Seth said, "This is what Olivia's mother decided."

Fesha immediately became cowardly, and dejectedly followed Seti with a few still confused ogre assistants, and went to the river bend house obediently.

The fire in the big house was burning brightly and the hall was crowded with people.

In addition to the high-ranking people of the River Bend, the werewolf Akhan, the ogre Krog, the tauren Strong, the troll Asa and other leaders of various tribes were all present.

After Fisa arrived, Leo, who was sitting at the head, announced, "Let's get started."
