In front of the Alchemy Point Shop, the crowd was moving.

"Young master, the store has been arranged, a few shì are all shrewd and capable young men, and the goods are also placed according to your instructions!"

The butler Kede has a lot of leisure these days, and Donald saw that William was busy with the big and small affairs of the territory during this time, so he asked Kede to be in charge of opening the shop.

"Open the door!"

Donald looked at the adventurers and mercenaries gathered outside the door, and immediately waved his hand and ordered the shì to open the door.

More than thirty adventurers rushed into the store with excited faces, and this was because of the deterrence of Donald, the powerful mage lord, otherwise with the xìng character of these adventurers, I am afraid that a fight would have started a long time ago.

The discipline of the mercenaries is much stronger than that of the adventurers, and they can also maintain their formation with restraint.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my promise is only valid for the first three days of opening, so if you come across an item you like, please buy it as soon as possible!"

"Your Excellency!" "Thank you for your generosity!"

Looking at the dazzling array of goods, a group of adventurers and mercenaries couldn't help but walk towards their areas of interest, looking for the items they wanted.

According to the business philosophy of his previous life, Donald ordered that all goods be marked at a price, and for these adventurers and mercenaries, they were sold at half price.

In fact, even if it is half price, it is not the cost price, Donald can still make a lot of money, but it is already an extremely cheap price for them, and the adventurers all take out their savings and choose the items they like the most and can make the most money.

Donald, the owner, left the shop early.

The reason why the store was opened in the territory instead of in the commercially developed areas that had already formed a system like Boulder City and Shining Gold Town was to regain the popularity of his territory.

With moonshine wine and black tea, Dalaran is already a little well-known in the North County and even the Kingdom, but these can only attract some merchants, and the nobles are noble, and most of them will not come to the most remote wilderness in the North County in this impression. So Donald took advantage of the situation to launch the alchemy fire, further building the fame of the territory.

From weapons and armor to adventure gear, to potions, bandages, and compressed dry food, Donald's shop can be said to have everything, most of which are from his book of truth. The rest were produced by Donald in the town's workshops, employing the townspeople, so that the shops could be replenished and the lords could get jobs to support their families, which could be said to be a win-win deal.

However, at present, the Alchemy Fire sells some low-level items, and except for the two treasures of the town shop, there are no items above the medium magic items assessed by the Book of Truth.

This is Donald's fear of being discovered by the mages and arousing suspicion, after all, he himself is only the strength of a bronze mage, and some high-level items cannot be refined for the time being.

But these are already good equipment for low-level adventurers.

In addition to selling equipment and props and other items, Donald also buys various materials at a high price, and Donald, who is worth a lot of money, doesn't have to worry about any profit like those merchants. Because Alchemy Fire gives the most generous purchase price, it is certain that many adventurers will choose to sell their harvest to the Alchemy Fire Shop in the future, which will make Donald add a source of his own materials.

Half a month after the ogre tribe was exterminated, Donald's proposal to report to the Council of Nobles was answered. For a newly opened knight's domain, the royal family is very happy, because it means that the territory of the Kingdom of Celt has expanded to a certain extent after a few decades, and there is one more person who provides them with taxes every year.

The members of the royal family and the great nobles who controlled the noble council all agreed, and Her Majesty the Queen was behind them, and even if a few people opposed it, it would be useless.

Soon, Uther would be made Donald's first noble retainer and hereditary knight in control of the realm, a joy that greatly angered the enthusiasm of the other men.

A territory, of course, can have only one lord, but the absence of other noble management classes is not beneficial to the development of the territory, so as long as there is an opportunity, Donald will not be stingy, and reward his subordinates with a noble status and status, because this can make them have a strong cohesion towards the territory and be more loyal to themselves.

Although the Kingdom of Celt has been established for hundreds of years, it is still relatively young among the countries of the mainland, and the development of the Northland has also lasted for hundreds of years, and it has not yet been completely occupied.

And as Kita-gun, which is only separated by a mountain range from the frozen plateau and the Daisetsuki Mountains, this dangerous land with a large area but full of monsters still has many places waiting to be developed by humans.

When Kitashire was first opened, Celt VII led the kingdom's army to exterminate the ragtag army of ogres, wild goblins, scattered wandering orcs, and gnolls, and banished a tribe of highlanders native to the Northlands to the other side of the Izumo Mountains, where the highlanders were located.

There must still be some monsters like ogres and wild goblins hiding in the gap between the Green Cloak Forest and the Izumo Mountains, ready to grow their tribe and fight back against humanity to reclaim the land they once lived in.

However, because the terrain of the vast forests and mountains is complex and changeable, and there is the threat of demonic beasts, so the North County has been established for more than a hundred years, and the land has not advanced to the north, so the invasion of human territory by these semi-intelligent indigenous races has not happened once, at most, the adventurers went deep into the forest and mountains, and suddenly encountered the attack of these monsters, and people knew that the North County still existed.

Although Donald's territory is vast, the actual land available at the moment is only equivalent to a normal barony in the plains. If you include the area of forests and mountains, it is comparable to a large territory where a city of tens of thousands of people has been established, and it is about the size of a typical county on the mainland.

However, because the terrain around Dalaran is more complicated, and there is a boulder city blocking it in the south of the forest wing, the only road to the outside world in the southeast direction must also pass through the Barony of Red Maple, unless the territories of other nobles are annexed, it is impossible to extend outward in these two directions.

To the north of Dalaran, however, is the Izumo Mountain Range, which stretches for most of the border of Kitaku-gun, and the green cloak forest below, and the other side of the mountain is still a snow-capped mountain with extinction of people and animals, and a cold frozen plateau, which is equivalent to trapping Dalaran's territory in this area and unable to develop outward.

For other nobles, it may be that the construction of the territory stops here, but for Donald, who has the Book of Truth and infinite possibilities, it is only a matter of time before he expands outward.

Not to mention the North Prefecture, as long as he has strong strength, whether it is the threat of demonic beasts in the Green Cloak Forest and the Izumo Mountain Range, or the severe cold danger of the Great Snow Mountain and the Frozen Plateau, it will not stop Donald from expanding northward.

According to one of the Holy Noble Covenants signed between the mainland countries and the Church of the Gods thousands of years ago, no matter which kingdom is subordinate to the nobles, as long as they can expand their territory to areas other than their own territory, then except for one-tenth of the land they occupy must be contributed to the royal family or replaced by money, the rest will belong to the territory owned by the pioneer himself, this treaty is jointly protected by the royal family and the Church of the Gods, and is permanently valid and sacrosanct.

It was because of the provisions of this sacred covenant that greatly encouraged the nobles' desire to expand outward, and of course brought a lot of benefits to the royal families.

With this prerequisite, Donald knew that as long as he accumulated his strength, he could fight as many territories as he wanted.

However, now that the territory is sparsely populated, Donald has no plans to expand northward for the time being.

If Donald wants to venture north, the forests and mountains are the biggest obstacles, the monsters are only resources and prey, and the intelligent natives are a threat.

The threat to the previous territory was ogres, and some were kobolds enslaved by ogres, so it should not be a problem.

In the future, you may face other more powerful alien creatures, so you have to plan ahead.

If you rely solely on the armed forces in the territory, passive defense is not a problem, and if you take the initiative to attack, it is very easy to cause personnel losses.

But if it goes on like this, it's not a way, if you use a lot of summoned creatures, you can sweep away those threats, but the consumption of magic cores is too huge, even if he has enough wealth to buy magic cores, I'm afraid there aren't so many magic beasts for him to slaughter. If you hunt and buy the magic core on a large scale, in a few years, once the low-level demonic beasts in the Green Cloak Forest and even the outskirts of the Izumo Mountain Range disappear in a large area, then it will be enough to affect the biological chain of the entire region, and even cause some high-level demonic beasts in the depths of the forest and mountains to leave the territory to hunt for food and invade the human territory, that is not the situation that Donald wants to see.

Of course, you can also consume the power of the spirit hún and the energy of the elemental spar to summon, which can save more than eighty huā fees on the 100-point system.

But the power of the spirit hún is rare, it can't be bought with money, and after summoning Kael'thas and the two griffins, there is not much left. Opportunities like the previous orc invasions are hard to come by. The power of the spirit can summon creatures that exist forever, and it is undoubtedly a shameful waste to summon them like this!

Therefore, he will not cause this kind of waste unless he has to.

So Donald thought about it and found a solution to the problem, which was to set up an organization similar to the adventurer's union, pay a bounty, and recruit some professionals to solve the ogre problem.

In this way, it can not only ensure the safety of the people in the territory, but also solve the hidden dangers caused by the excessive consumption of magic cores, and will also have an armed force that can be used, relying on that organization, Donald can also develop his own intelligence organization, so as to get a lot of information from the outside world. @。
