"Your Highness, you want to buy magic crystals?"

Hausman looked at the lord in front of him, and stopped talking.

Now the finances of the territory are really very difficult, and the gold coins they brought back from the royal capital can only barely maintain the operation of the territory.

In this case, the territory simply does not have extra money to use to buy magic crystals, unless it really gives up the development of the territory.

"Yes, what's the problem?" Su Luo wondered.

After a little hesitation, Hausman explained the situation of the territory, "Your Highness, we really don't have much money to spend on buying magic crystals. ”

"Territorial development?" Su Luo frowned, "Then stop the development of the territory, my mage training will be more important than that." ”

Hearing this, Hausman opened his mouth, and after knowing that His Highness was a mage, he was indeed very surprised, but he didn't think that a magic crystal could really make a mage strong.

According to his understanding, the price of a magic crystal is almost 100 gold coins.

You must know that 100 gold coins is not a small amount, according to his understanding, one gold coin can almost buy a goat, and the income of the entire Thorn Town in a year is only so much, that is to say, this piece of magic crystal is equivalent to the income of Thorn Town in a year!

"Hausman, do what I ask." Looking at the clerk who was still constantly persuading, Su Luo wanted to say directly that he had no interest in building the territory, and he only wanted to improve the strength of the pet beast now.

And just as Hausman was about to say something, the chief knight suddenly hurried over.

Lawrence's face was very solemn, and he knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Highness, it was my dereliction of duty, that maid did have a problem. ”

"Get up and elaborate." Su Luo pretended to be calm and drank saliva to suppress the shock.

Seeing this, the clerk's face showed doubt.

Soon, the chief knight recounted the news he had gotten, and after hearing that the maid had poisoned him, the cup in Su Luo's hand was almost unstable.

And Haussmann's face changed drastically, he never thought that someone would really dare to poison the third prince!

"Fortunately, there is something wrong with the poison that the maid obtained...... Lawrence said with a palpitation.

Something wrong with the poison?

Su Luo closed his eyes and thought of his own crossing.

I'm afraid it's not that there is a problem with the poison, but that the original third prince is dead, and his crossing brought the third prince back to life.

After discovering that the poison was useless, the maid obviously gave up the plan to poison it, otherwise if she poisoned it again, it is estimated that he would have to die again.

Thinking of this, he gladly glanced at the chestnut squirrel, the little guy has made a meritorious contribution this time!

"Who sent her?"

The chief knight was silent for a moment, "The maid said it was...... The Great Prince. ”

"Huh? The big prince who has no force and IQ but is worried? Su Luo frowned, according to his memory, the scheming second prince was more suitable for doing this, after all, he and his half-brother would choose the opposite person, not to mention his cheap half-brother.

Moreover, it is not normal for the maid to be recruited so easily...... Of course, it cannot be completely ruled out.

"I also feel like something is wrong......

"It's just that no matter how much I ask, she is adamant, and there is no way to confirm the truth of this matter......"

Lawrence sighed, this maid seems to have confessed, but what she said is true and false, there is really no way.

Su Luo thought for a moment, "Well, just confirm that she has a problem." ”

Hearing this, Lawrence was a little silent and nodded in agreement, now the third prince wants to compete for the throne, and the two princes are enemies, it really doesn't matter who poisons them!

Su Luo, who didn't know that the chief knight had misunderstood, hesitated for a moment and continued, "This maid ...... You look at it......"

After saying that, he looked at Hausman, who also looked suspicious, "Now, you know why I'm in a hurry to improve my strength, right?" ”

"Even though my father had sent me to this land, they still didn't really plan to let me go...... After all, the safest way is to make me disappear completely. ”

Hausman's face changed and changed, and he hesitated: "Your Highness, should we recruit some more knights......

If His Highness is eager to increase his strength before buying magic crystals, or if many recruiting more knights can increase the strength of the territory even more.

Hearing this, Lawrence next to him suddenly interjected: "Your Highness's letter of request for help has been sent out for a while, and Grand Duke Lucas's reinforcements should already be on the way, with the Grand Duke's reinforcements, the strength of the territory will be greatly improved." ”

Rescue letter - Su Luo was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted that there was indeed such a thing.

The Grand Duke of Lucas is the current king of the Duchy of Lucas, and he is also his grandfather......

At that time, after the third prince was forcibly sent out of the royal capital, he quickly wrote a letter asking for help to his grandfather, hoping that his grandfather could send reinforcements to help him fight for the throne!

"Eh, is this the last confidence of the third prince?" Su Luo felt very tired, this third prince was too uneasy, what kind of throne are you fighting for, do you know that it is very dangerous for you to do this? This maid poisoning incident is a good example!

Of course, what is needed most now is still strength, strength in all aspects! - Thinking of this, he looked at Hausman again, "Compared to recruiting knights, I actually trust my own strength more. ”

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the little squirrel comfortably nested in his arms, and then at the knight in front of him, "Lawrnes, your strength has reached the level of a senior earth knight, right?" ”

Hearing His Highness ask about his strength, the chief knight nodded and said, "Well, it's been a while since I reached the senior earth knight, and I'm not far from the peak earth knight!" ”

As if he saw Su Luo's worries, he continued to add: "Your Highness, don't worry about someone coming to assassinate me again, my strength is ranked first in the entire king, and in this northern realm, except for the Duke of the Northern Realm, the sky knight, it is not so easy for others to defeat me!" ”

"Earth Knight and Sky Knight......" Su Luo took a deep breath, "Lawrence, can you have a fight?" I want to see what I'm capable of. ”

"In addition, Hausman, you can see my strength, a magic crystal can make me better strengthen the monster!"

Hausman and the Chief Knight were stunned.

Reflecting that the current third prince is already a mage, Lawrence looked at the monster in His Highness's arms, he was actually very curious about His Highness's strength now, "Your knight is willing to serve you!" ”

……

In the castle training ground.

Su Luo stood on the side of the field, and the chestnut squirrel squatted in front of him.

Squeak, squeak, squeak-

Komatsu turned around and asked, can he not fight?

It's a little scary.

"Don't worry, Lawrence won't hurt you."

Su Luo has a black line, you are a pet beast, shouldn't you fight to the death for me, the beast master?

He was a little skeptical that when he was really in danger, his pet beast would run away first - thinking of this, he suddenly regretted a little, he really shouldn't have added all his energy to speed......

Fortunately, Komatsu did not disappoint him, although he was still a little cowardly, but he still came to the field bravely, and his face was extremely solemn.

On the other side of the field, the chief knight held a wooden sword in his hand, and the fighting energy on his body was constantly surging, slowly covering his whole body - this is the ability of the earth knight's signature, the fighting energy shield, wrapped in the fighting energy of the whole body, can give the knight a very strong defensive ability.

"Come on, little one, let me see your strength!" Entering the combat state, Lawrence seems to be a different person, and his face is extremely confident!

"Up, Komatsu, let's run!" Su Luo immediately ordered.

It turns out that so many anime in his previous life have not been watched in vain, and it is very natural for him to command the pet beast, and at the same time, he began to make a battle plan in his heart, which was conveyed to the pet beast through spiritual connection.

Huhuhuhu-

Komatsu's speed was very fast, and his figure came to the knight's side in a flash, and his claws grabbed it fiercely!

Rumble!

With a roar, the claw strike slammed into the knight's fighting shield!

The chief knight only reacted at this time, and the wooden sword in his hand quickly swept towards the monster beside him, swinging the sword very fast, faintly blurry, but even so, he still didn't hit the chestnut squirrel.

"What a speed!" The knight's face showed surprise, he could feel that the strength of this monster was not strong, but this speed had reached the level of the earth knight, and the tentative attack he had just made was unexpectedly missed!

However, the opponent's attack power seems to be very weak, and when the Douqi shield resists the attack of the opposite side head-on, there is not much consumption at all, and this level of attack power is probably not as good as even some ordinary official knights.

"Chestnut Squirrel, keep attacking, use claw strike!"

Xiao Song nodded quickly, and the attributeless magic power on his body surged, quickly condensing on the claws, making the claws wrapped in a faint white light.

The speed instantly increased to the limit, and its figure came to the knight's side again, its body paused slightly, and it used a claw strike!

This time, the Dou Qi Shield trembled slightly, but it was only that, not to the extent of shaking the Dou Qi Shield at all.

"Even if you use claw strikes, is that all you have?" Su Luo frowned, theoretically speed can increase strength to a certain extent, but the effect on Komatsu is very average.

To a large extent, this seems to have something to do with the habit of attacking - thinking of this, he ordered again: "Komatsu, don't stop when attacking, run in a circle, and claw strikes from the side!" ”

Squeak, squeak!

The chestnut squirrel quickly understood, and the figure rushed out again.

Only this time, when Komatsu came to the knight, he quickly adjusted his position to let his figure pass past the knight, and at the same time, his paws swiped without any pause!

Woo la blah!

This time, the Douqi shield began to shake violently!

"Komatsu, you're doing a great job!"

Su Luo laughed, combat skills are really important!

Although Komatsu has not been strengthened with strength and claw strikes, relying solely on speed beyond the limits of the race, he can also increase the power of his attack by several levels - he feels that if it is a collision move, the bonus of speed to power should be more obvious!

Squeak, squeak!

Komatsu stopped in the distance, looked at his paws, and was also a little excited, his combat power seemed to be okay?

At this time, the knight was also a little surprised, the attack just now had reached the strength level of the senior knight, and with the speed that surpassed the peak knight, this monster now had the power to fight when it met the quasi-earth knight!

It was such a little guy, he was easily caught by a few official knights at that time, but now it is difficult for him to catch even if he wants to catch it for a while.

Obviously, it must have been His Highness who had secretly done something to help this monster improve its strength - thinking of this, he looked at the prince with a hint of admiration in his eyes, the third prince was not as simple as an ordinary spiritual mage!
