Chapter 15: Troubles

Most of the people who can be tamed as riding beasts are docile herbivores, and no matter how big they are, they lack active aggression. The giant beast had been lying on its stomach honestly since it was overturned, and even if Richard sat on its back, he only looked back and quieted down.

"From now on, I will tell you to chase the wind. ”

So it became Richard's mount.

On the way back, the Lord of Alpine Fort sat on its back and began to look through the Dou Qi Secret Archive captured from the Goblin Tribe.

I don't know how many generations of this secret book have passed, and the edges and edges on all sides are worn out and worn, and the whole book is about to fall apart. But even so, the pages remain clean and clear, without even a trace of wrinkle, and are clearly carefully maintained.

Richard carefully held it in his hand, for fear that he would be trembling and shattering into pieces of paper on the spot, opened the cover and read two pages word by word, then suddenly closed it with a wry smile and threw it on the side of the road like garbage.

It's not the first time he's seen the Douqi Secret Classic, he has seen a lot of them when he was in the southern provinces, and he still has the basic ability to discriminate. It is worthy of the fighting spirit that can fall into the hands of the natives of the wilderness, and it is generally to the point of being unusual, and the goblins will take this kind of thing as a treasure.

With the super high attributes and exquisite martial arts brought by the riding and slashing system, Richard beat a group of specialized swordsmen and knights on the martial arts competition platform in the southern provinces, crying dad and calling mother, and the scenery was unparalleled for a while. However, as the level gets higher and higher, the experience required to level up gradually becomes massive, and the growth of strength enters a bottleneck period.

So Richard naturally tried to find another way to increase his strength with the help of the original power system of this world. He wasn't that kind of material when he practiced magic, so of course he hit the idea of fighting spirit. But the new question is that with his current strength, the transcendent body and martial arts have already formed a stable pair, how can it be so easy to insert a third party into it?

A candle may illuminate a thatched house, but there is nothing to be done in the face of a magnificent palace.

Ordinary road goods are useless at all, and if you have time to cultivate this kind of garbage, it is better to go to the river to catch two more fish.

Excellence is a scarce quality in any field. I got a few secret books of vindictiveness by chance, and the final ending was to follow the master into the thatched house.

Boredom, Richard suddenly remembered that the system store had just opened yesterday, so he turned on the light screen and browsed.

As a pioneer nobleman, his attention was mainly focused on weaponry. In addition to a variety of pieces of varying quality, there are also kits for sale such as the "Barbarian Warrior Complete Standard Equipment".

The quantity and variety are abundant, but the selling price is not cheap. A steel longsword included in a Barbarian Warrior kit costs five thousand dinars, which translates to five gold coins in Pompeii.

When he was in the southern provinces, Richard did not mix up the weapon shop, and the market still understood, and the price of the same grade of long sword was generally between five gold coins and six gold coins.

The price of the system is slightly lower than the retail price in the market, but it is certainly much higher than the cost of forging by self-organized craftsmen.

For lords who are trying to form an army, this price is not advantageous, and the convenience lies in the fact that they can get supplies at any time when they have money. After all, in the wilderness where birds don't, it's common to not be able to spend a lot of gold coins.

Richard exchanged all the small boxes of coins from the goblin tribe for dinars, and the mixed gold, silver and copper coins disappeared from the wooden crates, while the balance of the shop panels increased rapidly from zero to 1,800 dinars.

Rummaging through the categories, his empty wallet left him with no choice but to tap on an "old knight's spear".

The balance was deducted from one thousand seven hundred and fifty at once, as if the invisible magic that had been applied gradually became invalid, and a riding spear "emerged" from the air little by little.

First there is a faint translucent outline, then the color gradually reveals itself, and finally the details are filled in. The four-meter-long giant weapon appeared on the back of the otherwise empty beast.

The overall workmanship is quite good, but it does look very old, with a faint layer of crimson rust on the blade and many scratches on the wooden handle. However, it doesn't matter whether this impact weapon is sharp or not, as long as it is strong enough, it can be lethal.

"Boss, you actually have space equipment!" Gunther nervously scrubbed every crevice of his hands with sand, and looked at the spear that suddenly appeared out of thin air, his eyes full of envy.

With an unfathomable smile, Richard silently pointed at the other unaware brutes and made a gesture of silence.

Gunther immediately nodded in understanding, and returned to the group as if nothing had happened.

Stirred up by this, Richard's original train of thought was suddenly broken. Closing the panel, he vaguely felt a thought coming out of his mind. After thinking about it for a while, it immediately seemed like being poured down by a bucket of ice water, only to feel a chill deep into the bone marrow, and the whole person was difficult to breathe-

Every time a soldier in the system is promoted, he has to update his equipment in order to maximize his combat effectiveness, and in reality, there is no good thing in the game that the promotion comes with equipment, so he has to arm every soldier out of his own pocket!

The full set of equipment of the barbarian warrior costs forty-five thousand dinars, which is equivalent to forty-five gold coins, and fifty barbarians are two thousand two hundred and fifty.

This is only the first advanced "Barbarian Warrior", and there will be a second advanced "Barbarian Giant Axe Warrior" in the future! There will also be three advanced "Berserkers"! And the more advanced the soldiers, the better the equipment, and the more expensive the price......

Combined with his past memories, he immediately weighed what a heavy burden it was.

Meat can be hunted in the wilderness, crops can certainly be grown, wood and stone are scarce, but there is a solution, and this vast land can provide most of the material that humans need.

Only gold and silver currency.

Unless you can find a gold mine by shit, you can't find a source if you think about it. Trade may be a good idea, but it will take at least a decade for a new territory to form a stable trade channel and make profits.

Richard opened the pig's urine bubble money bag and looked at it, and there were two IOUs with a limit of 1,600 gold coins lying alone, and there was not even a single copper.

He lay backwards in despair, the scales on his back were slightly heated by the sun, and he was so comfortable that his mind was empty and he didn't want to think about anything......

"Boss, there seems to be a war going on nearby. ”

Just as he began to get dazed, he suddenly heard the scouts in the team whisper a report.

Richard sat up and quietly wiped the saliva from the corners of his mouth, and saw that the barbarians had stopped, and listened carefully for a moment, and sure enough, he heard a cry of battle and the clashing of weapons.
