Chapter Forty-Nine: El's Report

Lorist regretted that he should not have spent more than 1,400 goldfords on the market to buy those more than 300 weapons and dozens of armor sets. From the arsenal of the Dawn Academy, he thought of the arsenals of other academies, so he went to El and asked El to come forward. As expected, after stuffing a red envelope of one hundred gold coins from the head of the arsenal of the Swordsman Academy, it only cost more than five hundred gold to purchase nearly one hundred and twenty sets of so-called scrapped training plate armor and scale armor, as well as nearly a thousand spears.

Lorist said to El that in fact, this is also a way to make money, and he usually befriends the directors of the arsenals of those academies, and then he can exchange a lot of scrapped weapons and equipment every year. You see, Lorist picked up a piece of plate armor and said, it looks very worn, but as long as it is polished and renovated, it will be eighty percent new, and if it is in batches, it can be auctioned, and many mercenary groups will buy it at a high price.

Spending money like water, Lorist soon found that the nearly three thousand gold coins around him were about to run out again, but he was reluctant to give up continuing to buy the so-called scrapped weapons and equipment of the academy's arsenal, and the road was all done, and the pockets of those academy arsenal directors were stuffed with Kingford, it was the time for great gains, how could he drop the chain at this critical moment.

After thinking about it, Lorist decided to take a risk and put his treasure up for auction. In fact, Lorlist's treasure is actually a mirror, which Lorist made himself. When Lorist designed and decorated the boutique women's clothing store for his girlfriend Miss Windsor, he once spent more than a dozen Kingford to buy a batch of transparent white crystals, and Lorist selected more than a dozen small pieces of colorless crystals for the craftsman to polish and keep by his side. Originally, Lorist wanted to use these crystal pieces to grind them into concave and convex lenses to make telescopes, but several pieces were worn out and had to be left first.

Later, when Sister Louise was going to marry old Gal, Lorist wanted to give them a strange gift, so she made nine mirrors out of these crystal pieces. In his previous life, as the director of a small craft factory, Lorist was very proficient in making craft glass art, which is not as difficult as polishing lenses. When the mirrors were ready, Louise was given a piece, and later Anfia was given a piece, and now there are seven mirrors.

The process of making a mirror is not complicated, and the materials are simple. Lorist is worried that these mirrors will attract the attention of people who care about them and cause unnecessary trouble to themselves, so they have been kept secret. Now that he was short of money, he couldn't take any risks, so Lorist sent Reddy to bring El in.

Lorist decides to auction off the four mirrors, and when El comes in and sees the four mirrors on the desk, he is surprised: "It turns out that the mirror that Louise treasures was given by you." ”

"Did you know that Miss Louise has mirrors?" asked Lorlist.

Of course, Louise treats the mirror as a treasure and no one shows it. But who am I, El Ah, I've had enough of playing with my hands a long time ago, and even the day before yesterday I shaved in front of the mirror, which was much clearer than a silver plate. But I secretly put it back when I was done, and Louise didn't know it. El admits without blushing that he often plays with Louise's mirror.

Lorist said the reason why he was looking for El, he hoped that El would find someone to come forward and send these four mirrors to auction, saying that these four mirrors were found by a certain ruin, and it was suspected that they were magic mirrors that had lost their magic powers, and were later collected by a certain family for nearly a hundred years. Now something has happened to that family, so I took these four mirrors out for auction.

Lorist's four mirrors have their own characteristics, the first mirror is round, half a foot long in diameter, the mirror is tightly wrapped by a round silver plate, Lorist is particularly ingenious in the silver plate and the silver edge around the mirror engraved a mess of English letters and pinyin letters, although simple but very mysterious.

The second mirror is square, the size of a book, Lorist wrapped a book in gold leaf, dug the middle of the book into the mirror, and wrote the poem "Bright Moonlight in front of the bed" with Chinese characters on the page in front of the mirror with gold liquid, I believe that some people will be interested in these square words in front of them and spend their lives to study them in depth.

The third mirror is oval, and Lorist made it into the kind of vanity mirror with a handle, and the material is a special black wood of Guelinthea, which was obtained by Lorist by destroying a black wooden chest that is said to have been handed down for a thousand years, and the chest is not very valuable anyway, Lorist bought this chest for a few gold coins in the market, and when he returned, he dismantled the box and carved the chassis and grip of the mirror from the wood of the box. Lorist also engraved the traditional Chinese folk Wufu Linmen pattern and intricate patterns on the chassis and grips.

The fourth mirror took the most effort, Lorist cast an ancient Chinese bronze mirror in bronze and then set the glass mirror on the mirror. The bronze mirror has also been aged by Lorist, which looks rusty and antique, and the back of the chassis is also engraved with the words "Mirror of the Bright Moon" written in Li.

El agreed to Lorlist's request, and played with it for a long time before he packed the four glass mirrors in a box and took them away.

Ten days later, the four glass mirrors were successfully auctioned off without any incident, and the total amount of the auction was more than 13,000 goldfords, deducting the auction fees and handling fees, and Lorist received more than 10,000 goldfords.

When El sent the money, he told Lorist that the four glass mirrors had caused a stir in the city of Moriente. Especially those strange characters, which made those experts believe that these were indeed four magic mirrors, but they had just lost their magic power. The strange characters on those mirrors are most likely the spells that those magicians used to activate these magic mirrors thousands of years ago. So when the four mirrors were auctioned, the prices went up all the way, and El said that he also raised the price several times in the middle.

Lorist is very happy that he has money around him now. However, such a thing is indispensable, so he shook his head and rejected Eyre's suggestion to make a few more mirrors and put them up for auction.

With the money, Lorist bought the scrapped weapons and equipment in the arsenals of the various academies, and by the time Yuri returned to Moriente City with the three hundred and fifty-three horses he had acquired, Lorist had enough weapons for a legion to equip them.

There are more than 5,000 spears, nearly 2,000 longswords that have been sharpened for training, and nearly 1,000 two-handed swords, heavy swords, and short swords. There were more than 600 standard obelisk shields for training, more than 800 shields of various types, more than 700 crossbows, more than 2,000 mounted spears, more than 1,500 throwing spears, 71 sets of knights' full body armor, 583 pieces of plate armor for heavy swordsman training, nearly 1,000 pieces of chain mail and scale armor, and more than 2,000 pieces of various leather armors, and finally 12 chariots loaded with the small crossbows.

The weapons and equipment had all been refurbished and repaired, costing nearly two thousand gold fords for the materials to be repaired, and the shields and metal armor were all cast with the Norton family's Bear insignia. The wages were not expensive, and Lorist gave ten gold medals to each of the four craftsmen in the repair shop, and even a dozen apprentices were given a bonus of five gold coins each, and they were only busy for more than a month, and they received so much that they were grateful.

Lorist sometimes thinks that if he sells all the weapons and equipment he has, he will make a profit of at least 100,000 gold fords. However, Lorist just received a letter from Fat Man, saying that he and Bodfinger had purchased seven hundred strong slaves in the port of Nubit, and that they had sailed to the port of Ammetlin in the Duchy of Rum, where they would wait for their arrival, and then set out on their journey to the Northlands. What makes Lorist wonder is why Fat Shi asks Lorist at the end of his letter not to forget to bring the hollow wheel and swivel chair in the courtyard when he sets off.

What did Lorist want to do? Lorist couldn't think of it, when Fat Shi saw this hollow wheel, he tried it, didn't he cry and call his mother when he came down? Lorist said that training with these two things would allow him to gain dynamic visual ability, and his swordsmanship would improve by leaps and bounds, but he still refused, and swore that even if using these two things could make people train the ability to fly, he would not try again. What do you want to do this time? Isn't it training with these two things on the way north, so how can he hurry? Forget it, I don't understand, let's talk about it then, anyway, it will only take many carriages to transport these two things.

Now Pat has recovered and has mastered dynamic vision. But after all, it is artificially trained, and although it reacts faster than ordinary people, it is still very slow for Lorist's body, which is born with dynamic visual ability. Pat was very upset when he talked about the training experience, it was almost a two-month hellish journey, and he said that he wanted to die several times, and that it was too hard to be dragged around these two things by Reddy every day.

It was time to set off, and Lorist went to President Peterson again, and mobilized three large ships through the Peterson Chamber of Commerce, ready to transport those weapons and equipment, men and horses, as well as thousands of pieces of clothing customized by Fat Man in the city of Morente and nearly a thousand old leather clothes and leather pants purchased from ready-to-wear stores. Although these clothes were large in number, they cost the least, costing only more than seven hundred gold fords. Telman has been taking people to put away the clothes these days, count them, pack them and put them away.

I have to wait for two more days, because the three hundred war horses that Yuri bought back still have to make saddle stirrups and nail horseshoes or something, which cost Lorist nearly a thousand gold coins, making Lorist sigh that the cost of forming an armed army is too great, and in the blink of an eye, his investment will reach 40,000 gold fords. Now there are less than 2,000 gold coins left around, and the transportation fee of 240 gold coins for the three large sea ships has not been paid.

The day before his departure, Lorist visited Crud, who had become a great swordsman, and entrusted his collection of nearly 1,000 books to Crud. On this trip north, Lorist packed up the 100 books that he thought were the most important to take with him, and decided to hand over the remaining books to Crud for safekeeping, and then transport them back to the Northland when he had the conditions in the future. The husband and wife, Crud and Amphia, happily agreed to Lorlist's request.

When it was finally time to set off, the three Petersen Chamber of Commerce ships slowly left the bay along the channel, and then hoisted their big sails and sailed north.

Looking at the distant Golden Bay and the smaller and smaller city of Moriente, Lorist has mixed feelings, and he is finally about to leave the city that he regards as his second home, and he doesn't know when he will be able to return. The road ahead is confused, and I don't know if I and my friends can make a difference when we get to the Northland...... Lorist let out a long sigh.

Alyssa's cheerful laughter was heard in her ears, and the little girl thought it was a long trip to play, but she heard that she was very happy to see her father, and was spreading joy on the deck of the ship.

Schward saw that Lorist seemed a little melancholy and asked, "Teacher, what's wrong with you, you seem to be a little unhappy?"

Lorist smiled and said, "No, it's just that today we set off, why didn't your Uncle El come to see us off, the teacher was very puzzled." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar voice sounded: "My lord, your knight Brunan Evangelbert reports to you. ”

A figure jumped down from the mast and knelt down on one knee in front of Lorlist: "I, Brunan Evangelbert, would like to be loyal to Lord Norton Lorlist, become a knight of the Norton family, and charge into battle under the guidance of the Angry Bear Banner until the last moment of my life. ”

Lorist was surprised and delighted: "Why are you here, El?"

El kept his mouth shut, and only pointed to his shoulder, meaning that Lorist had not yet canonized him as a knight of the family.

Well, Lorist drew his saber and slapped it twice on El's shoulders, threw the saber to the side, and pulled El up and hugged him tightly: "Welcome to you, my knight and brother." ”

El reached out and touched Lorlist's body: "What about the badge, it's time to give me the knight's badge." ”

Lorist pushed El away: "Day, how can I have a badge on my body, don't touch it, could it be that you like a man?"

"You like men, I just want to find out if you have a badge on you, but I don't mean anything else, don't talk nonsense and ruin my reputation. As soon as El heard Lorist say that he liked men, he was anxious and jumped up.

"Alright, Sedkamp, go get a knight's badge and give it to Knight El. Lorist commanded.

"Why are you here, old Garken letting you out?" asked Lorlist.

"He didn't know, I snuck out. However, I left a letter to the dead old man, and after I left, let Ledos be the boss of the community, and the dead old man would not have to worry about any idle things, and it would be serious to stay at home and raise his son in the future. Ledos is much smarter than him, and I believe that the society will develop well under his management. I still think it's best for me to go north with you. El said as he looked at the hatch, complaining about how Sedcamp was moving so slowly.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Thurkemp to give the knightly badge of the Norton family, and El asked Lorist while wearing the badge, "Why didn't you see Telman and Yuri?"

Lorist pointed to the two large ships behind him: "Those two ships, one is responsible for escorting weapons and the other is responsible for escorting horses, and when they arrive at Ametlin Harbor in a few days, they can meet." I'm sure they'll be amazed when they see you. ”

El finally put on the badge, looked down left and right, and was very satisfied: "They were surprised, I don't care, what I care about is that dead fat man, see who is called who knight lord now." ”
