Chapter 48: The Barony of York

The thick skin of the petrified lizard is an enchantment material, which can be used to craft both magic books and enchanted armor.

The skin of a petrified lizard can be refined into two pieces of enchanted leather armor.

Since making the snake horn bow, the three of Tang En have been somewhat sure of refining enchanted items. These magic materials don't have to be sold at a low price, and if all goes well, Bruce and they will soon be able to wear enchanted leather armor.

The Petrified Lizard's eyeballs are also a precious magic material, which can not only be used to refine magic potions, but also can be used as a one-time spellcasting material after special refining. It can store a Level 3 Spell Petrified Gaze, and using this material to release the magic of Petrified Gaze only costs half the mana.

In addition, the magic core of this petrified lizard has also matured, and as a fifth-level demonic beast, the magic core in its body is very strong. Whether it's drawing a magic circle or replenishing mana, it's also a precious material.

The liver, kidneys, and heart blood of the remaining petrified lizard are all materials for refining potions, and even the flesh and blood on its body are very delicious food.

The flesh and blood of Warcraft are nourished by magical energy, which contains very rich nutrients, and eating more flesh and blood of Warcraft is good for any professional.

Especially for professionals with physical strengthening, eating Warcraft meat often can make the body stronger and the bloodline strength more sufficient. Even the chances of promotion will be two or three points higher than that of ordinary professionals.

Even the great nobles of the Emerald City couldn't eat the meat of the Demon Beast all the time.

The price of one pound of Warcraft meat is about eighty or ninety copper coins, which is equivalent to an ordinary person's salary for five days. A professional's meal is more than three catties, and it costs at least three silver coins to eat Warcraft meat every day, and in a month, it is a gold coin of the Hadma Empire.

Except for the big nobles above the marquis of the royal capital, it is impossible for ordinary professionals to have this spare money.

Even in some duke families, it is impossible for everyone to eat Warcraft meat, and only the most promising professionals can often eat Warcraft meat with high prices.

Kill this demonic beast and bring Tang En and them at least a dozen gold coins in income.

Therefore, in the mercenary adventure, killing Warcraft is the easiest way to get rich, although this method is very dangerous, but there are still countless professionals who rush to it.

If the flesh of this petrified lizard were sold to the nobles of the Emerald City, the price would be around two gold coins.

But now that they have a steady stream of income, Tang En is also a lot more generous, and decides not to sell the Warcraft meat in his hands, so that the mercenaries below can have a full meal and enhance some physical fitness.

Having hunted the petrified lizards, Don and the others set up camp in a safe cave and ate a sumptuous feast of monsters.

Forty people ate one-third of the demonic beast meat in one meal.

Finally, under Donn's leadership, they roasted the remaining petrified lizard meat into jerky and prepared to take it back to their remaining companions to taste.

After hunting the petrified lizard, Don and his journey went much smoother.

After another three days, after climbing over two cliffs, they finally crossed the Red Dragon Forest and bypassed the Loya Canyon.

After passing the Loya Gorge, even if you leave the Northern Xinjiang Province, you will enter the Torlo Province of the Hadma Empire.

The population of Torlo Province is much larger than that of Northern Xinjiang, and compared with the vast and sparsely populated Northern Xinjiang Province, the Torlo region is more prosperous and wealthy.

Entering the Torlo area, there are densely populated villages and towns all the way, and there are castles standing in dangerous places.

This area, which has been opened up by the Hadma Empire for thousands of years, is full of noble lords large and small.

After Don and the others passed through the Red Dragon Forest, they immediately sent Bruce out to find out the news.

After Bruce's careful investigation, he found that there were three forces in the vicinity of three hundred miles.

The most powerful is the county of Gmacia two hundred and sixty miles away, the county of Gmaasia is six hundred and eighty miles in circumference, which is equivalent to a large agricultural county in the Celestial Empire on the earth, and the population of the territory is quite large, more than 110,000 people.

As for whether there are strong professionals in the territory, because the time is short, Bruce did not find out.

This kind of big force was immediately excluded from Donn's consideration.

Under normal circumstances, a county should have a gold-level professional.

Even hereditary nobles, once they do not have a strong and qualified heir, they will be reduced by the central government of the empire, and each succession of titles will reduce a large amount of territory.

A grand duchy where a legendary professional is entitled, if there is no strong professional support after three generations, will slowly decline into an earldom.

A county that is not inherited by a gold professional will also be reduced to a fief and become a barony after three generations.

Fortunately, the lifespan of a legendary professional is very long, usually a French legend has a lifespan of more than five or six hundred years, and a legendary professional with a body enhancement class will also have a lifespan of more than two hundred years.

In this way, the titles of high-ranking nobles did not change too quickly, causing all kinds of turmoil.

Hereditary titles of nobility will only be stabilized when they are reduced to hereditary barons.

Inheriting a title in the future will not be reduced by the central empire.

Excluding the county, the remaining two forces should not be as good as Donn.

Both nobles were barons, one of them, Baron Kirdon, had weakened to the extreme, and the former baronial castle had been abandoned and became an empty castle in the wilderness, and their territory was only a small village of six or seven hundred people.

Such forces were also excluded by Donn.

Although they are easy to control, they definitely don't dare to disobey Tang En and the others.

But such a weak force is unlikely to bring much help to Tang En.

If they cooperate with the Kirdon family, they will need to invest a huge amount of manpower and material resources to turn their main energy around.

Once the trade is big and the profits are huge, Donn and the others will also need to face the hostility and attacks of the nobles of Torlo Province at any time.

This is undoubtedly not in line with Donn's strategy.

Whether it's a new candle or a fur business, it's already the foundation of Don and them, and leaving the salt lake mine in the Horn Forest, it's all rootless water.

So the only force that can cooperate is Baron York.

Although the strength of Baron York is not very strong, the baron's uncle is also a sixth-level knight, and there are about four or five professionals raised by the family.

Baron York controlled the nine natural villages around the castle, and his people numbered more than 10,000 people, and he also had an elite army of about 300 men.

Baron York's strength is quite different from that of Donne, but as a local head snake who sells stolen goods, he is qualified enough.

Cooperating with such a landlord will undoubtedly save Tang En a lot of time and energy, although he will give them a part of the profits, but he is also very satisfied with Tang En and them.
