In the Earl's Mansion of Maned Wolf City, the butler was still discussing with the Earl.

"My lord, then the eldest young master will take people to the Frost Wolf Forest later?"

"The new horses have been negotiated, and counting what is left before, is enough to form a team of knights for him. Besides, this time I went to suppress the bandits, not to kill them all, first let him get familiar with how to run a knight order alone, and then get familiar with the future barons and viscounts. The earl said so, but in his heart, he remembered the promise brought by the representative of the White Owl family half a month ago.

"Lord Earl, as long as you can send troops, our White Owl family is willing to provide an ice potion! The ingredient for this potion is a very rare blue ice grass. If we emerge victorious, our family is also willing to offer you a mid-tier potion. "The son of the Grand Duke of the White Owl, the eldest grandson of Dusen White Owl, came to negotiate in person, and this young man younger than Fernando was already a great knight.

The potion made of blue ice grass can soothe the Count's wounds, and only if you hold on long enough can you hold out until Fernando becomes a Grand Knight and is eligible to inherit the Count.

Being able to come up with such a rare magic plant made the earl also sigh with emotion: Now that the Bai Xiao family is backed by the throne and the royal capital fairy queen, the strength of the family is far from being comparable to before, I am afraid that once Li Qi becomes a thing of the past, the Bai Xiao family will be able to become a duke.

"Say hello to the people on the black market and sell some magic goblins that you don't need to Viscount Rand," the old count instructed the butler,

"I've been spending too much money lately, and I need to get some money back. Don't give it all at once, sell it little by little. ”。

。 In the evening, the Earl's Court will have a ball to welcome the viscounts and barons, and as spring approaches, a new group of demon bearers will break through the ranks in the realms, and the families will be happy to use the opportunity to show their new knightly apprentices to their colleagues.

However, Rand really didn't like this kind of social activity, and he was afraid that if he was absent, other nobles would arrange some inexplicable tasks or rumors for him.

I can only use the time before the banquet to go to the black market first, still from the tavern last time down to the underground market, last time Rand just took a look at this shop, the magic plant shop and the magic fairy shop.

The bookstore on the black market is located in a corner, and when you enter, you can only feel that it is a very small storefront, a narrow passage is flanked by bookshelves, most of the shelves are hand-copied books, and a few printed books are doctrinal books of various gods, which are mostly printed by the churches of the Temple Alliance, and have been given to well-known believers, lords, or various grassroots church organizations.

"My lord? What would you like to see? The shopkeeper dressed as an apprentice magician greeted him.

"Are there any magic school textbooks here?" Textbooks are also the books that Rand pays the most attention to.

"No, it's hard for such a book to end up on the black market." The shopkeeper looked embarrassed, but the bookstores on the border really didn't have such rare goods.

"Is there a map? Or a book about interesting local facts? ”

"You come with me," he said, taking Rand around the bookshelf on the left, and came to the back, there are two rows of holes here, and the bookshelf against the wall is more than 3 meters high.

The shopkeeper took Rand to find an area, saying that all Rand wanted should be here. Rand's afternoon time was relatively sufficient, and there were only dozens of books on the shelves, so he flipped through them one by one.

The underground black market outside the bookstore is always only relatively dim in light, although the inside of the bookstore will be astringent.

Rand carefully flipped through a few books, all of which were collections of local anecdotes from all over the kingdom, collections of gossip of large families, and local legends, none of which could make him feel bright.

Rand was the only customer in the shop, and the shopkeeper looked at Rand like a sieve, and thought that he was sincere in wanting to buy something useful, so he took a drop of parchment to bind the book.

"My lord, I don't know what specific content you want to find, these books all meet your requirements, but some may be a little damaged after too long." The shopkeeper was very happy with Rand, and although there was nothing he really wanted, he was very sincere.

Rand casually flipped through the parchment scroll that the boss brought, one of the notes made Rand very interested, the age of this note is difficult to verify, but there are several very secret runes on the cover and back cover, and Rand looks very clear.

After opening it, there is a booklet that records the geography and products of the Galloping Horse Plain, and the booklet records the age when the Galloping Horse Kingdom has not yet been destroyed.

"Is it because of these runes that such an old book can be preserved?" Rand pondered the runes on the scroll as he rubbed over the runes.

The Galloping Horse Plains in the booklet did not mention a large area of barbarians, no mention of black-scaled horses, or even mention Night Qi City, only the names and sizes of a dozen cities, and some ruins.

Of course, the word magic turbulence is already mentioned in the booklet, indicating that it is a book that is less than 1000 years old.

Rand did not hesitate to buy this booklet with seriously outdated information, although a thousand years have passed, some of the terrain, landforms and even ore veins recorded in it should not have changed.

In addition to a thousand-year-old booklet, Rand also bought a large amount of waste paper from the bookstore, which had been in existence for many years and stored many moth-eaten and moldy books and booklets, which Rand was going to re-pulp into new paper.

At the door of the magic material shop, Rand came across a slave auction, the kind of slave auction that Rand had seen on TV in his previous life, in which tall herbivorous orcs with feet on their heads or hooves under their legs were taken to a stone platform in turn.

The slave owner loudly announced the slave's age, height, weight, health, and what he was good at, and then the following group of people began to call the price, all the slaves were women, and the reserve price was 10 gold coins, basically the higher the final transaction price, the more expensive it was.

"The nobles of this world have very unique tastes," Rant sighed in his heart as he watched a female orc who was more than 3 meters tall, with antlers and ears on her head and hooves on her legs, being called to 70 gold coins.

"Do they want to eat deer antler velvet?" The 7 or 8 slaves were quickly bought, and the crowd around the platform gradually dispersed, and Rand didn't want to join in the fun, but he didn't expect the owner of the magic material store to recognize Rand.

"My lord, please come and check it out, we have something good for you" The shopkeeper was very flattering to Rand, and he was a little caught off guard.

"For me? Do you know me? Rand pointed to himself.

"Look at what you said, the owner of our shop is from the Maned Wolf Knights, the knights of the entire Northwest Region, who doesn't know you?" When Rand followed the owner of the material shop to enter, he realized that he was known to everyone in the entire black market, and everyone knew that Rand had at least tens of thousands of gold coins in his hands and hundreds of demon supporters under him, and it was the largest consumer market for magic supplies in the Northwest Territory without any doubt.
