After listening to Flo's words, Brando finally put down what he was doing and became serious, "There are four lumber yards and two quarries near Fir City, how can there be no reserves at all?" He raised his head, his light brown eyes reflecting the slender figure of the elven girl, "Even if there is no stock, the Goran-Elsen, and even the region of Jean Denel are important provinces in Eruin for producing high-quality timber, and Tonigel is no exception. As far as I know, there are as many as seven sawmills in the fir barony alone, and even if the four near the fir city we can control the temporary start of construction, it will be enough to provide a share of the repair and reinforcement of the city walls within a week......"

He stopped at this point - the unit of production of the lumberyard in the game for a week is based on one, plus the special product bonus of Tonigel doubles - but it was in the game after all, and he was not sure if it was the same in reality.

"Your Excellency, you know?" Flo asked lightly.

"Of course I do." Brando suppressed the doubt in his mind and asked, "So what the hell is going on?" ”

"Two reasons," said the elven maiden, grimacing, "first, that the workers who work in the lumberyards are Grudin's private property, and they are not willing to work for us. ”

"Why?"

"For fear of reprisals, it is clear to them, Lord Lord, that you are going to fail sooner or later. After all, your enemy is Count Jean Denel, and you, my lord, are just a fledgling little nobleman. ”

"Reasonable," Brando nodded, "then let them go, don't be embarrassed." Without a sense of security, the people will not follow us, people are so realistic, and no one will believe in empty words. But it doesn't matter, the critical time to turn the tide is just recently, and as long as we get through the first hurdle, our power will be solidified. ”

"So what about the lumberyard labor until then?" The elf girl asked in a tone like boiled water.

"Aren't there any Senyas?"

"That's not going to work either."

"Why?"

"Because before that happens, the adults will have to take back the lumberyard."

"How?" Brando was a little amused, "Could it be that the lumber yard is not under our control?" He remembered that the nearest lumber yard to Fir City was only a few miles away, so could it be that the noble private army that had escaped from Fir City so quickly had regrouped outside the city? In the impression of this young lord, the aristocratic private army does not seem to have such a high combat effectiveness and tactical literacy.

Flo shook her head and answered his question. "No, it's just that as far as we know, three of the four lumberyards have been taken over by cavemen. The remaining one was abandoned five years ago—"

"Cavemen?" Brando asked, "Aren't those the inhabitants of the lowest level of the Underworld, who don't live underground in Jorganedigan?" Legend has it that the tribes of the underworld are at war with demon lords, when will they have time to come to the surface? ”

"There's a rift in the forest between Jogandigang and the surface world," Flora paused, "The captain guesses that it might be one of the tribes that has wandered here in the midst of the war. ”

"Grudin, just ignore it?" Brando, a little depressed, couldn't help but bend his knuckles and tap on the table, "That's his property...... but he stopped suddenly, because he saw the elven girl looking at him with green eyes as clear as the lake water—the meaning in her eyes was clear: 'Who knows what is going on in your mind as filthy human aristocrats?' He was speechless; Because of the sudden realization, although Grudin's eagle dogs are rampant in the fir city, they can be said to be a mess when it comes to combat effectiveness - even leading a group of mercenaries can kill them to the ground, let alone cavemen.

In the past, mercenaries were nothing more than a motley weapon in the human world. Although the cavemen are the lowest inhabitants of Qiaogendigang, they are also the first-level official establishment of the underground kingdom, corresponding to the first-level establishment of the strongest human empire under the power of the Flame Temple, Cruz, at least light cavalry or spear infantry, and it is also the core force of the first-line legion in the Eruin Kingdom. Grudin's reliance on his eagle dogs to fend off the wandering cavemen, and defense alone would be enough to give him a headache, not to mention offense.

Brando couldn't help but gently pat the corner of his forehead, and scolded the incompetent man in his heart. However, this realization also reminded him of the fact that although the first-level establishment of the caveman was simply unpopular in his opinion, he also had to realize that this was after all before the Second War of the Black Roses, and the maximum establishment of each country at this time was only up to the fifth level. Instead of after the opening of the second chapter of "War and Chaos" in Amber Sword, demons such as the great alchemist Tamar and his ilk emerged in an endless stream, and ancient units also reappeared, and the compilation and grading climbed up like a rocket, and it was precisely because of that glorious era that his own vision would be raised so high, so the current war seemed to him to be like a child.

For example, the war of Instaron against Buchi will be a border friction in the future, but in this era, it can also be called a rare war.

You know, he only has a few mercenaries on his hands. It is these mercenaries, most of whom have not yet reached the level of black iron, and belong to the same category as the noble private soldiers in the Amber Sword system, but in this era and this place can be regarded as the main force of war. After all, this is Eruin, not the Eagle Empire Cruz.

Thinking of this, the young lord stood up and looked at him indifferently from the elf girl who was holding the notebook on the side, but a trace of curiosity still flashed in her turquoise eyes: "My lord? ”

"Follow me." Brando replied.

"Where to go?"

"Let's go meet someone."

"Alone?" Flo was slightly stunned, and her thoughts couldn't keep up, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing." Brando shook his head slightly, opened the drawer and took out the Sage Slate and put it back on his body. Then he casually took the sword handed by the elven maiden - the sword was an ordinary magic longsword, one of Grudin's collections; The baron was a brutal and murderous man, but he was not a valiant and warlike man, but he was a martial man among the Eruin nobles, so he had to be a vassal. It's just that these collectibles are now Brando's trophies, and the young lord swept the sword in his hand and sighed - this thing is just an alchemy-grade longsword with a black iron label, and it can't withstand his full strength, but it's just slightly better than an ordinary tabula rasake.

At this time, he couldn't help but miss the elven sword Zhanguang Thorn, as if he hadn't found a weapon since he lost it. Although there are many goals in mind, there is no time, or the production location is not along at all.

He put away his sword and added, "--I just suddenly feel that time is pressing." ”

The elven girl glanced at him.

Soon the two walked out of the study and walked silently on the cloister on the north side of the castle. But Brando looked at the elf girl holding the notebook as if she wanted to say something, but she just endured it for a while and then took it back, and turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing," replied Flo, glancing down the empty hallway in front of her, "but the relics of Kabaith are still with me, my lord." ”

"That's right." Brando patted his head: "I also remember this matter, what did you ask me last time?" ”

Flo looked down and fumbled in her fanny pack for a while before pulling out a small object, and she watched as Brando reached forward and opened her palm, where a prismatic piece of gold lay in her palm. Brando couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he looked at the heavy thing that seemed to be a golden shuttle, and he immediately blurted out, "So that's it, this guy Kabaiz is really lucky-" He paused, "No, I should say I'm really lucky." ”

The elven girl looked up at him suspiciously.

"This thing is called the 'Stone of Order', also known as the Door Stone, and it's a good thing." Brando looked at the golden shuttle carefully, as if he was afraid of being mistaken: "It can be used to expand the territory. ”

"Expanding the territory?"

Brando retracted his gaze, and he looked at the side of the cloister, which landed on an unnamed tree in the courtyard, and shook his head, "I don't know how to explain it to you," the Doorstone in Amber Sword can provide a special attribute for a territory, such as the 'fast growth' of the forest (lumber mill yield +1 per week), or the 'specialization' of the workshop (increased chance of artisans being born in the territory), but he can't tell how these things that are counted in the game will work here. Brando thought for a moment, and could only reply: "Anyway, this is a rare treasure, but I don't know where the Kabais guy got his character explosion - it must have been robbed, and the nobles in the south have a lot of money." ”

He couldn't help but wonder if he should just rob him too?

Character outbreak? Flo frowned as she pulled out another ring. "My lord, this is also one of the relics of Kabais."

Brando paused.

He stared at the insignia, a ring with swords and shields intertwined, and his eyes twinkled slightly. "Warrior's Ring," he struggled to pronounce the term, and then asked, "This is also a relic of Kabaith?" ”

Flo nodded, but seeing his appearance, she couldn't help but ask, "Is it important?" ”

"It's more than important." Brando took a deep breath. The Warrior's Ring, despite its ordinary name, is the same as the Knight's Ring, the Wizard's Ring, or even the Elemental Ring. If you're not familiar with its attributes, you'll probably be misled by the name, but for those who know the qiē well, it's one of the few priceless gems in the game.

First of all, its grade is enough to explain a qiē - a gold label, a fantasy-level ornament.

Then Brando just swept the attributes, and it was clear in his mind: sure enough, exactly like in the game. It's like an explanation of the ring, which can be summed up in just one sentence, as simple as the attribute on the ring.

Because it has only one property.

Warrior skill +1.
