I found a hotel for one night, and the next morning, because the stone would not arrive in the afternoon, Li Ran, Doric and others who had nothing to do came to the war hall, ran to the mercenary club, and hired two enchanters and an armor maker.

Last time, there were still a lot of four-armed blood ape skins left, although Doric hired two armor makers, but one of them was sent by Li Ran to be mainly responsible for guiding the few junior tailors in the territory, and the remaining one was too slow, Li Ran meant to make those leather armors and improve the combat effectiveness in the territory as soon as possible.

As for why he hired two more enchanters, although Doric didn't ask, he guessed in his heart that the undead underground cemetery located in the logging field was the biggest headache for the lord right now, after all, no one wanted to have such a group of guys around him, and except for a small cemetery at the entrance, no one knew how big it was. In the event of a battle, warriors with magical weapons will undoubtedly be able to deal more damage to the undead, and will also increase the offensive power of the territory on the other hand.

After that, Li Ran went shopping with Doric and the others again, and wanted to buy some high-level warriors, but all they could buy here were some low- and middle-level soldiers, and the number of high-level warriors was very small, and even those few were expensive, and they had little effect on the territory, so Li Ran and the others finally returned empty-handed.

Looking at Li Ran's depressed expression, Doric thought about bringing Li Ran back to the market.

Looking at the increasingly dirty mud under his feet, Li Ran looked at Doric with some curiosity, and the latter smiled mysteriously and said, "If you want to recruit some high-level troops, take you to a good place."

Coming to a small building with an ordinary three-story floor, Doric stepped forward and handed over a few gold coins. He walked in with the crowd.

After entering, Li Ran was a little surprised to find that his eyes suddenly opened up. The area is thousands of square meters, surrounded by a huge iron cage. Inside, an orc warrior is battling a manticore. Surrounded by a crowd of excited spectators.

Looking at Li Ran's curious gaze, Doric smiled and whispered in his ear: "This is a private arena and biological slave market, many people come here to gamble and trade, and sometimes they can buy some good high-level troops."

Oh, Li Ran looked at the battle in the field, although the orc warrior's combat skills were good, and the rank was as high as ten ranks, but at this time, the scorpion lion had a clear advantage, and the orc warrior was just barely defending. And with the manticore's bite on the neck of this orc warrior. There was a burst of exclamations all around.

Seeing that some people were happy and some were swearing depressedly, Li Ran knew that these were all bettors.

And as Doric introduced him to the second floor, Li Ran found that the area was even larger, even more than double the size of the first floor. Hundreds of magical cages are inhabited by slave creatures. Most of them were caught by the demon hunting team, but some came through other sources. At this time, many people came and went, picking slaves like selective mouths.

Li Ran was surprised to find that the lord who had chatted with him last night was also among them, and at this moment he was standing in front of a cage, while a demon hunter was explaining beside him. It's nothing more than how powerful this creature inside is, how many people spent a lot of time to catch it at that time, and all they did was to sell it for a good price.

Seeing Li Ran appear here, this person didn't feel too surprised. Just smiled at Li Ran, Li Ran smiled back, and at the same time saw the creature he was concerned about. It's also a manticore. And it's even stronger than the one you just competed with, just because of the magic cage. You can't see its rank.

I had noticed last night that this person should be a dungeon clan, so Li Ran was not surprised. The Manticore is a high-level class of the underground clan, and it is easy to have a sense of intimacy with the dungeon heroes, and it is normal for the other party to want to collect one.

After chatting with Li Ran for a few words, the lord bought this scorpion lion for 1,100 gold coins, and after recruiting it, it released this manticore, and found that it was just an ordinary tenth-order class, but it was just a strengthened size, and he couldn't help but depressedly put it into the talisman space. When he turned around and wanted to scold the witcher who was still bragging desperately just now, he found that the other party had already slipped away, and he couldn't help but smile and curse a few words depressedly.

It turns out that these magic cages block information, so the person who buys can only trade with their own eyes and feelings. If your vision is good enough, you can buy good creatures at a low price, on the contrary, if you misjudge that the purchase is expensive, you can only blame yourself for looking away, and you won't really bother the person who sells it, not to mention that most of the creatures here are only sold on a commissioned basis, not by yourself. The man just did a bad job just now, but he was just dressed up as a witcher to make it easier to sell.

Unexpectedly, there was such a rule, Li Ran couldn't help but smile, and the other party also saw that Li Ran was here for the first time at this time, and they separated after chatting for a while.

Seeing that the lord might have walked downstairs a little depressed after walking around for a while because of the scorpion lion incident just now, Li Ran began to look at the magic cage around him, only to see that there were all kinds of creatures inside, werewolves, bison, lizards, skeleton warriors, half-orcs, elven archers, human swordsmen, and all kinds of creatures, from low-level to high-level. Even the peculiar crocodile fighter I saw last night has two locked up here.

However, after looking at it for a long time, Li Ran still didn't find the type of troops he wanted, although the creatures here are of some good grades, but only one or two are not in formation, and it is really of little use to him, what he needs now is a large group of main combat arms, and the territory's main combat power is now long-range attacks from many mid-level mages and elven archers, while melee combat relies on the warriors of the Gaoyan Minotaur, Modo and Leopard people, although the frost mastiff and Zereramo orcs are high enough and have excellent combat effectiveness, but one is a matter of quantity and the other is a rare class. One less to die, now this scale can sometimes be barely used as a surprise soldier, and any less will be completely meaningless.

In the end, Li Ran only bought 4 seventh-order elf archers and 2 dwarven warriors, the former was to supplement the elf archer team, one more of this kind of archers was a combat power, and Li Ran would never earn more.

As for the reason for buying the latter, it was because these two were bundled and sold together, in fact, he only took a fancy to one of them, but the seller had to sell the two together, and the price of the fifth-order warrior was still much higher than that of the ordinary fourth-order dwarf warrior, but Li Ran thought about it and finally bought it.

After recruiting these troops, Li Ran put away the elven archers, and looked at the two dwarf warriors at the same time, but he didn't expect that these two were really fifth-order troops, and one of them was okay, with a burly body and good combat effectiveness. But the other was obviously badly wounded, and one leg couldn't move at all, and he couldn't see it when he sat there just now. No wonder these two were tied together and thrown in a magic cage just now, it seems that the seller did it on purpose.

Although Doric didn't care about the little money, he couldn't help but scold a few words, but Li Ran didn't care. After a few words of questioning with the two dwarven warriors, he learned that the two dwarves were actually brothers, of which the younger brother was a burly fifth-order warrior, and his elder brother used to be a professional craftsman, but he was interrupted by the witcher during the escape, and because of the delay for too long, there was no medical treatment and permanent damage was lost.

When he learned that the new master was willing to spend a lot of money to treat his brother, the dwarf brother hurriedly knelt down to Li Ran and thanked him, and repeatedly assured that his brother was the best craftsman, while his brother, the injured dwarf, looked at Li Ran with some disbelief.

Smiling at Dorik, the latter understood what Li Ran meant, and reluctantly took out an intermediate white crystal from his arms, which was a precious healing crystal, and only a few dozen pieces were obtained after seizing so many materials.

At this time, he put the healing crystal on the injured dwarf's leg, and couldn't help muttering, this intermediate healing crystal alone is enough to buy the two of you.

As he chanted, a flash of light fell on the crystal, which melted and covered the dwarf's injured thigh like water, slowly dissipating for a long time.

At this time, looking at the injured dwarf again, and finding that his title had actually become a fifth-order senior craftsman master, Li Ran couldn't help but smile slightly and told Doric the result.

Knowing that Li Ran would not lie to him, Doric couldn't help but look at Li Ran with a little admiration and incomprehension in his eyes.

Li Ran smiled and explained after putting the two dwarven warriors into the talisman space: "The introduction of the creature seller just now focused on the intact dwarven brother, and deliberately left the stronger brother, which is also a suspicious point. And these two are still tied together and sitting on the ground, which is completely unnecessary in the magic cage, which means that they must have done something wrong, and I had already guessed that there must be something bad about the other at the time, but I didn't expect to save money and didn't go to the doctor. Besides, who would spend hundreds of gold coins to heal a dwarf who is only worth a few dozen gold coins?"

Looking at Doric's still curious gaze, Li Ran continued, "Have you noticed that although this dwarf and his younger brother are of the same rank, they are completely different in muscular type? Maybe you're not a warrior, one of them is full of explosive muscles, and the other is just strong, and although their right arm is equally strong, there is obviously a very thick and straight callus on the palm of the dwarven brother's left hand, which is only available to those professional craftsmen, although the dwarves also like to hold shields, but the position is obviously different, so I tried it with the attitude of trying, but I didn't expect that luck was good, these witchers were reluctant to spend money on treatment to cheapen me for nothing"

Doric couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the price of a high-level craftsman was not comparable to that of a random fifth-order soldier, and it was very difficult to find, although there were more than two hundred dwarves in the territory, only a few barely reached the level of an intermediate craftsman. Although I don't know what the craftsmanship of this dwarf is for the time being, as a high-level dwarf craftsman, it shouldn't be too bad. (To be continued......)
