Lorist regretted that he shouldn't have spent more than 1,400 Jinfords on the market to buy those more than 300 weapons and dozens of sets of armor. From the arsenal of Dawn Academy, he thought of the arsenals of other colleges, so he went to El again and asked El to come forward. As expected, after stuffing a red envelope of 100 gold coins from the head of the arsenal of the Swordsman Academy, he bought nearly 120 sets of so-called scrapped training plate armor and scale armor for only more than 500 gold points. There are nearly a thousand spears.
Lorist told El that in fact, this is also a way of making money. He usually pays more attention to the directors of the arsenal of those academies, and then he can buy a lot of scrapped weapons and equipment every year. You see, Lorist picked up a piece of plate armor and said, it looks very worn out, but as long as it is polished and refurbished, it is likely to be new. If it is in batches, it can be auctioned, and many mercenary groups will buy it at a high price.
Spending money like water, Lorist soon found that the nearly 3,000 gold coins around him were almost used up, but he was reluctant to give up and continued to buy the so-called scrapped weapons and equipment from the academy arsenal. Jinford's pockets were filled to the brim, and it was a time of great harvest, so how could he lose the chain at this critical moment.
After much deliberation, Lorist decided to take some risks and put his treasure up for auction. In fact, Lorist's treasure is actually a mirror, which Lorist made by himself. Back then, when Lorist designed and decorated the boutique women's clothing store for his girlfriend, Miss Windsor, he spent a dozen goldfords on a batch of transparent white crystals. The colored crystals are polished by craftsmen and kept with them. Originally, Lorist wanted to use these crystal chips to grind them into concave-convex lenses to make a telescope, but in the end, several pieces were worn out and had to be put aside first.
Later, Elder Sister Louise was going to marry Old Gall, and Lorist wanted to give them a special gift, so he used these crystals to make nine mirrors. As the director of a small handicraft factory in his previous life, Lorist was very proficient in making craft glass art, which is not as difficult as grinding lenses. After the mirror was finished, one was given to Louise, and then one was given to Amphia, and now there are still seven mirrors.
The process of making mirrors is not complicated, and the materials are also very simple. What Lorist was worried about was that these mirrors would attract the attention of interested people and bring him unnecessary troubles if they were released on the market, so he kept them secret. Now that he is short of money, he really can't care about any risks, so Lorist sent Reddy to invite El.
Lorist decided to auction off the four mirrors. When El came in and saw the four mirrors on the desk, he was shocked: "It turns out that the mirror that Louise regards as a treasure is a gift from you."
"Did you know Miss Louise has a mirror?" Lorist asked.
"Of course, Louise treasures that mirror and doesn't show it to anyone. But who am I, El, I've played enough with my hands. Even the day before yesterday I shaved my beard in front of the mirror. The mirror is much clearer. But I secretly put it back to the original place after using it, and Louise doesn’t know about it.” El admitted without blushing that he often secretly played with Louise’s mirror.
Lorist told the reason why he was looking for El. He hoped that El would find someone to send the four mirrors to the auction. The excuse was that the four mirrors were found in a certain ruin, and they were suspected to be magic mirrors that had lost their magic power. It has been collected by a certain family for nearly a hundred years. Now that some accidents have happened to that family, that's why the four mirrors were put up for auction.
The four mirrors of Lorist each have their own characteristics. The first mirror is circular with a diameter of half a foot. The mirror is tightly wrapped by a round silver plate. English letters and pinyin letters are engraved on the silver edge around the mirror, which is simple but mysterious.
The second mirror is square and the size of a book. Lorist wrapped a book with gold leaf, dug out the middle of the book and built it into the mirror. He also wrote Chinese characters on the page in front of the mirror with gold liquid. Poetry, I believe there will be people who are interested in these square characters in front of them and spend a lifetime studying them in depth.
The third mirror is oval, and Lorist made it into the kind of vanity mirror with a handle. The material is a special black wood of Galintia. I got it from a black wooden box. Anyway, this box is not very valuable. Lorist spent a few gold coins to buy this box in the market. After he came back, he dismantled the box and used the wood of the box to carve the mirror's chassis and handle. Bundle. Lorist also engraved the traditional Chinese folk five blessings and cumbersome patterns on the chassis and grip.
The fourth mirror took the most effort. Lorist used bronze to cast an ancient Chinese bronze mirror, and then mounted a glass mirror on the mirror. The bronze mirror was also treated by Lorist to make it look rusty and antique, and the words "Mirror of the Moon" were engraved on the back of the chassis in official script.
El agreed to Lorist's request, and played with it fondly for a long time before putting the four glass mirrors in a box and taking them away.
Ten days later, the four glass mirrors were successfully auctioned off without any accidents. The total auction amount was more than 13,000 gold fords. After deducting the auction fee and handling fee, Lorist earned more than 10,000 and hundreds of kinfords.
When El sent the money, he told Lorist that the four glass mirrors had caused a sensation in Morente City. Especially those strange characters made those experts believe that these are indeed four magic mirrors, but they just lost their magic power. The strange characters on those mirrors are likely to be the spells that the magicians activated these magic mirrors thousands of years ago. So the prices of these four mirrors went up all the way when they were auctioned, and El said that he raised the price several times in the middle.
Lorist was very happy, now he had money by his side again. But this kind of thing can't be done again and again, so he shook his head and rejected El's suggestion to make a few more mirrors and put them up for auction.
With the money, Lorist bought scrapped weapons and equipment in the arsenals of various colleges. When Yuri returned to Morente City with the 353 horses he bought, Lorist already had enough Legion equipped weapons.
There are more than 5,000 spears, nearly 2,000 long swords that have been sharpened for training, and nearly a thousand two-handed swords, epees, and short swords. There are more than 600 standard square-pointed shields for training, more than 800 shields of other types, more than 700 crossbows, more than 2,000 cavalry lances, more than 1,500 throwing lances, and 71 full-body armors for knights. There are five hundred and eighty-three pieces of plate armor for heavy swordsman training, nearly a thousand pieces of mail armor and scale armor, and more than two thousand pieces of leather armor of various types. Finally, there are twelve chariots equipped with the small crossbow.
These weapons and equipment have all been refurbished and repaired, and the repair materials alone cost nearly two thousand gold fords. Those shields and metal armors have all been cast with the Norton family's furious bear badge. The wages are not expensive. Lorist gave each of the four craftsmen in the repair shop ten gold points, and even more than a dozen apprentices each gave a bonus of five gold coins. They only worked hard for more than a month, and they got so much. That's enough for them to be grateful.
Lorist sometimes thought that if he sold all the weapons and equipment he had in hand, he would make a profit of at least one hundred thousand goldfords. But Lorist was just thinking about it. He had just received a letter sent by Fatty Shi, saying that he and Bodfinger had bought 700 strong slaves in Nubit Harbor. The rest of them had already taken a boat to the port of Almetrin in the Duchy of Roulum, where they were waiting for Lorist and the others to meet up and set off on their journey to the Northland. What makes Lorist strange is why Fatty Shi asked Lorist at the end of the letter not to forget to bring the hollow wheel and swivel chair in the yard when he set off.
What does Fatty Shi want to do? Lorist couldn't figure it out. When Fatty Shi saw the hollow runner, he tried it. Didn't he cry when he got off? No matter how Lorist said that training with these two things would allow him to gain dynamic vision and improve his swordsmanship by leaps and bounds, but he still refused, and swore that even if he used these two things to train people to fly He won't try again. What do you want to do this time? Could it be that he used these two gadgets to train on the way north, so how could he hurry? Forget it, I don't understand, let's talk about it later, anyway, transporting these two things is just a matter of more carriages.
Now Pat has recovered, and has initially mastered the ability of dynamic vision. But after all, it was artificially trained. Although the reaction was faster than ordinary people, it was still very slow for Lorist, a body with natural dynamic vision ability. Whenever Pat mentions this training experience, he has lingering fears. It was almost two months of hell. He said that he wanted to die several times. The days of being dragged by Reddy to these two things every day are really hard. up.
After counting the days, it was time to set off. Lorist went to look for President Peterson again, mobilized three large ships through the Peterson Chamber of Commerce, and prepared to transport those weapons and equipment and troops, and Fatty Shi customized them in Morente City. Thousands of pieces of clothing and nearly a thousand pairs of old leather jackets and pants purchased from clothing stores. Although these clothes are in large quantities, they cost the least, only costing more than seven hundred gold dollars. Terman has been leading people to collect, count, pack and put away the clothes these days.
We have to wait another two days, because the 300 war horses that Yuri bought back had to be made into saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes. This cost Lorist nearly a thousand gold coins, which made Lorist lament the cost of building an army. It was really too big, and his investment reached 40,000 Jinford in a blink of an eye. Now there are only less than 2,000 gold coins left around, and the transportation fee of 240 gold coins discounted by the three big ships has not yet been paid.
One day before departure, Lorist visited Kruder, who had become a great swordsman, to teach him. He entrusted Kruder with nearly a thousand books in his collection. On this trip north, Lorist packed up the 100 books he considered the most important and took them away. The remaining books were decided to be handed over to Professor Crude for safekeeping, and then shipped back to the Northland when conditions permit in the future. Professor Crude and Professor Anfiya happily agreed to Lorist's request.
When it was finally time to set off, the three big ships of the Peterson Chamber of Commerce slowly left Zangjin Bay along the channel, then raised their big sails and headed north.
Looking at the faraway Golden Bay and the ever-shrinking Morente City, Lorist had mixed feelings, and finally was about to leave this city, which he regarded as his second hometown, and wondered when he would be able to come back after this trip . The road ahead is at a loss, and I don't know if I and my friends can make a difference in the Northland... Lorist sighed deeply.
Alyssa's cheerful laughter came to her ears. The little girl thought it was a trip to play, but she heard that she was very happy to see her father, and she was having fun on the deck of the ship.
Seeing that Lorist seemed a little depressed, Schwader asked, "Teacher, what's the matter with you, you seem a little unhappy?"
Lorist smiled and said, "No, it's just that we set off today, and the teacher wondered why your Uncle El didn't come to see us off."
As soon as the words fell, a familiar voice sounded: "My lord, your knight Brunan Evanbert is reporting to you."
A figure lightly jumped down from the mast and knelt down in front of Lorist: "I, Brunan Evanbert, would like to serve Lord Norton Lorist and become a knight of the Norton family. Under the guidance of the bear banner, he charged into battle until the last moment of his life."
Lorist was both surprised and delighted: "Why are you here, El?"
El kept his mouth shut, and only pointed his finger at his shoulder, which meant that Lorist had not made him a family knight yet.
Alright, Lorist pulled out his sword and patted El's shoulders twice, threw the sword aside, pulled El up and hugged him tightly: "Welcome to join me, my knight and brother .”
El stretched out his hand to fumble with Lorist: "What about the badge, it's time to give me the knight badge."
Lorist pushed El away: "Day, I don't have a badge on me. Don't touch it. Could it be that you like a man?"
"You're the one who likes men. I just want to find out if you wear a badge. It's nothing else. Don't talk nonsense to ruin my reputation." El was anxious when he heard Lorist say that he liked men, and jumped up. Three feet.
"All right, all right, Sedkamp, go get a knight's badge and give it to Knight El." Lorist ordered.
"Why are you here, old Garken let you out?" Lorist asked.
"He doesn't know, I sneaked out. But I left a letter to the dead old man. After I left, let Ledos be the leader of the club. The dead old man doesn't have to mind his own business. It is serious to stay at home and raise a son. .Ledos is much smarter than him, and I believe that the society will develop well under his management. I still think it is my best choice to go north with you.” El said while looking at Hatch, complaining about how Sedkamp was moving so slowly.
Fortunately, Sedkamp sent over the Norton family's knight insignia soon after, and El asked Lorist while wearing the insignia, "Why didn't you see Terman and Yuri?"
Lorist pointed to the two big ships behind: "On the two ships, one is responsible for escorting weapons, and the other is responsible for escorting horses. We will meet when we arrive at the port of Ametrilin in a few days. I believe they will be surprised when they see you of."
El finally put on the badge, looked down left and right, and was very satisfied: "I don't care if they are surprised. What I care about is that fat man. Let's see who is called Lord Knight now."
