However, the real value of the breathing method is not so high, it is just that the big nobles use the monopoly of knowledge to forcibly raise the difficulty of acquiring extraordinary knowledge, not only squeezing talented professional officers, but also reducing competitors and restricting the development of small nobles by the way.

Compared to a complete barony, the value of a set of breathing methods is actually not that high, after all, the vast majority of ordinary people, it is difficult to advance to the fourth order if they practice the breathing method all their lives.

The Silver Wolf Breathing Method, which can be cultivated to the fifth order, is enough for ordinary soldiers to cultivate. The exchange price of the first eight layers of breathing is less than 5,000 gold coins, and the exchange price of the last four layers of breathing method is as high as 95,000.

The more knowledge that can threaten the great nobles, the more valuable it is.

A set of breathing methods that can be cultivated to the ninth order is estimated to be worth 100,000 gold coins, and there is no price on the market, and the complete breathing method is not something that can be purchased with gold coins at all, and it needs to serve the great nobles and exchange it for military merits.

Mastering a more powerful meditation method is of course more valuable. As a general rule, mages are given at least three times as much as warriors for what they use.

A complete meditation method such as the Highland Meditation Method is worth three times the Silver Wolf Breathing Method, which is equivalent to a viscounty, and is equivalent to a resource of about 300,000 gold coins when converted into gold coins.

As for the Starlight Meditation Method, which can involve rules, it is already a priceless treasure and cannot be exchanged for ordinary resources at all.

There is no shortage of meditation resources in Haaland's territory, there are three sets of advanced meditation methods, and Richard has a deep understanding of the roots of magic, and he can also deduce meditation methods.

In terms of meditation foundation, the Harland Territory Mage Association is a little more than the royal family.

But the lower-end breathing method, Haaland's territory lacks heritage, and it is very short.

The Dawn Plane is a transcendent world, and the knowledge of the transcendent world is monopolistic. Unless Richard is willing to spend time studying the laws of the operation of the breathing method, and deducing and supplementing the silver wolf breathing method, otherwise he will have to be squeezed by the great nobles.

Everyone who climbs up has to pay a price, and this price is either life or money.

Richard's time on weekdays is very tight, not only to practice breathing and meditation, but also to find time to do magic experiments. He also needs to deduce two sets of meditation methods, the Book of Flames and the Book of Curses, and always keep an eye on the development of the territory's magic technology.

In addition, Richard also needs to manage the territory, pay attention to the people's livelihood, understand the craft, and even redress the wrongs of ordinary people and punish corrupt officials.

Every day, Richard's time is very full, and he has no time and energy to deduce the silver wolf breathing method.

Moreover, Richard does not have a deep understanding of the breathing method, and does not have a unique understanding, and there is no legendary-level breathing method in the territory, and there is no sample, so it is very difficult to deduce the breathing method.

In order to strengthen the attraction of talents and not become a talent delivery center, in the long run, the silver wolf breathing method must be exchanged.

"It's not impossible to have a lion bird for 10,000 gold coins, but I will castrate the male lion bird and monopolize the precious monster resources of the lion bird. Can the royal family agree to this request? ”

In a flash of light, Richard found an excuse to deliberately make things difficult in order to inflate the value of the Lion Bird deal.

Hearing Richard's words, Morris's face changed, and this was what he was most afraid of, because Richard's words were in line with the values of most nobles in the Dawn Plane.

The big nobles naturally like to monopolize everything, and Richard went to the two dukedoms of Edward and Jonathan to buy iron wildebeests, but they could only buy geldings, forcing him to build his own iron wildebeest breeding farm to break the monopoly of the big nobles on Warcraft war horses.

And King Roger sent Maurice to trade the lions, and this is the most taboo.

Nolan hopes to use the traded griffins to slowly domesticate and breed, expand the population, and establish the Lion Knights.

If it was just to train ten lion knights, the Roger Kingdom would not pay attention to it at all, and it would not need Morris, a special envoy with a special status, to come forward.

"If it is a castrated lion, the transaction value will be much lower, and the nobles of the royal capital will also have opinions about Viscount Richard. The exchange of resources between us is a matter of mutual benefit, and if Viscount Richard is not satisfied with my offer, I can write to the royal capital and raise it as appropriate. ”

"I want the complete silver wolf, the mad lion, and the brute bull three sets of breathing methods, in addition to the Tenghui elixir also needs a thousand, the enchanted armor thousand, and the magic crystal 10,000."

The exchange of resources between nobles sometimes does not consider specific values, but is limited by supply and demand, and the desire for trade.

The royal family traded with Haaland's territory, and there is no doubt that the royal family is more eager for a transaction.

The royal family took out ordinary resources, although the value is very high, and there is not a shortage in the market.

What Haaland's territory took out was a herd of lions, and the nearby was a unique and precious resource except for King Lane.

It is impossible for the Kingdom of Ryan to sell the Lion, and if you want to cultivate the Lion Knights, the only hope is to exchange them with Richard.

Because of this, the Kingdom of Roger gave Morris the authorization of 300,000 gold coin resources.

In addition, there is another reason that the strength of the Haaland family is no longer ordinary, and its status in the Grant Kingdom is equivalent to that of a reserve nobleman, and the position is also very important, which cannot be easily suppressed.

If the royal family wants to get something from the big nobles, it has to bleed and have to compromise.

If Richard becomes an earl, King Roger will have to come up with more resources if he wants to get the lion population.

If it wasn't the Harland family who got the lion, it was Duke Jonathan, there would be no exchange at all, but a monopoly on the lion and the cultivation of their own lion knights.

Seeing that Morris showed his weakness, Richard naturally asked the lion to open his mouth, and showed an expression of victory, unwilling to bargain.

Richard's demands were beyond Morris's authority. If you ask for help from the royal capital, you will leave an impression of incompetence.

For a moment, Morris showed a look of annoyance. He suppressed the negative emotions in his heart and continued: "The Silver Wolf Breathing Method can be cultivated to the ninth order, and I have enough authority to trade. But the Brute Bull Breathing Method is not good, this Breathing Method can be cultivated to the second level of the legend. Viscount Richard should know that the king will not take out anything of the legendary level easily. My authority here can only be traded to the ninth layer and cultivated to the sixth level of a professional. I can promise to have Viscount Richard transcribe the breathing method of the Wild Lion Legion, but I have to sign a contract prohibiting leakage.

The annual output of the Venant Elixir is not much, only 500 bottles can be released, and the magic crystal can only be allocated 6,000 pieces.

As for the enchanted armor, there is no shortage of Haaland territory, and I don't think it's a resource that must be traded. If Viscount Richard must enchant armor, I can only mobilize some from the Northern Legion. ”

Seeing that Richard still did not let go, Morris continued to persuade: "Viscount Richard, Haaland's territory also needs the support of the royal family, and giving a good impression to the nobles of the royal capital is very crucial to the development of the territory. The last time the Harland family clashed with the Holland family, Viscount Richard handled it too strongly. The conditions I have given here are already the maximum authority, worth about 300,000 gold coins, and His Excellency the Viscount should be satisfied. ”

Richard knew that it was almost Morris's bottom line.

If he had to enchant the armor, Morris would only recruit from the brigade commanded by William, and in the end, William would not be a human inside and out, which made the officers and soldiers of the Northern Legion resentful.

After thinking for a moment, Richard made another request: "We have been working on a magic experiment recently, and we need to use a large number of discarded magic crystals, and I need 60,000 magic crystals that have run out of magic power. If the king can provide this discarded magic crystal, I will agree to your terms. ”

"Viscount Richard, minting gold coins without permission is a serious crime, you must not be brutal?"

"Baron Maurice, how could I challenge the royal family's coinage? I want to discard the magic crystal, I want to study the magic crystal charging, reuse technology, recently I thought of an experimental direction, I need to use a large number of discarded magic crystals for experiments. ”

Morris didn't fully believe Richard's words, but delayed a little: "Although the abandoned magic crystal is not valuable, I have to report this matter to the royal capital, and you have to sign a soul contract not to use the abandoned magic crystal to mint gold coins." ”

After a moment's consideration, Richard finally agreed to Morris's request.

When Maurice's urgent letter arrived in the royal capital, King Roger approved it almost immediately.

With the approval of Roger's kingdom, Richard exchanged ten lions for a sum of resources with the Grant royal family.

Got the follow-up breathing method of the Wild Lion Legion, which reduced Richard a lot of trouble, and now Richard has cultivated the breathing method to the eighth layer and promoted to a fifth-order warrior. In a few years, we will have to find a way to exchange the follow-up breathing method.

Fortunately, the breathing method of the Mad Lion Legion has been widely spread, and it is not a breathing method monopolized by the royal family, and many nobles have collections, otherwise Richard will definitely be blackmailed and pay more resources.

Silver wolf breathing method This time Haaland's territory has also been completed, with a complete breathing method, you can retain talents, for the great nobles, excellent talents are the most precious resources.

The first half of the Wild Bull Breathing Method was also exchanged, which was enough to train most soldiers and officers.

The exchange of breathing methods has strengthened the foundation of the Haaland family, but in a short period of time, it cannot improve the combat effectiveness of the Haaland family.

After getting a large sum of magic crystals, Richard of course had to buy some resources to enhance his combat effectiveness.

Richard immediately used a thousand magic crystals to buy a hundred iron wildebeest horses from Duke Edward, and formed a second squadron of Warcraft cavalry, and the squadron leader appointed Julian, a third-order warrior.

If it weren't for the lack of professionals and elite cavalry in the territory, Richard even planned to continue to expand two squadrons of Warcraft cavalry.

The soldiers of the Second Warcraft Squadron were all drawn from the infantry squadron and used five hundred Venerant potions for the veterans, and the Harland territory trained forty-two professional officers.

This group of newly promoted professional officers were basically transferred to the Second Warcraft Squadron as the backbone.

Soros also stepped down from his position as the leader of the 1st Warcraft Squadron and was promoted to the captain of the Warcraft Brigade. The post of squadron leader was given to the eldest son, Kent.

Kent was already thirty-eight years old, and had just advanced to a third-order warrior. His qualifications are not particularly good, and although Soros has invested a lot of resources, it is difficult for him to advance to the sixth rank before the age of sixty.

The average warrior professional, after the age of sixty, will decline physically, and it is basically difficult to advance.

In fact, nobles with average qualifications, even if they invest resources and work very hard, when they are old, they can basically be promoted to the fourth and fifth ranks, and if their qualifications are poor, it is estimated that they may not be able to be promoted to the third order.

Ordinary free people can't keep up with nutrition, and they can't read words, so they can't grasp the essence of breathing. And because of the compulsion of life, there is not much time to practice the breathing method, and the threshold for exchanging exercises is very high, and most of the soldiers are only in the first and second orders when they work in the main army until they are in their fifties.

It is also very rare for the main army to become mid-level professionals in their thirties like William and Roland, and such people are the officers that the legion focuses on.

William and Roland are very different in development, talent is not the main reason, the important thing is luck and chance.

The Warcraft Cavalry Brigade in Harland's territory now has two Warcraft cavalry squadrons and two heavy cavalry squadrons. There are 200 Warcraft cavalry, 300 heavy cavalry, plus the guards, commands, and logistics personnel of the brigade headquarters, the total number is about 600 people.

Although the number of units in the brigade is small, the combat effectiveness far exceeds that of the infantry brigade, and it is very strong.

In May of this year, Richard's third uncle, Bernie, was also promoted to the sixth rank, with the rank of colonel. Bernie is forty-five years old, and at his age, he should be able to advance to the eighth rank by the age of sixty.

Without a particularly big chance, it is almost impossible to promote to a legend.

In the spring of this year, Richard's cousin Audrey Duck was also promoted to a third-order knight, catching up with her older brother Morgan Dark.

Although his uncle Soros has a good talent, he is not as good as his two children, counting illegitimate children, Soros has given birth to more than ten children, three of which have awakened the blood of knights.

Morgan became a third-order knight at the age of thirty, and his talent was already very good. Audrey's talent is even more prominent, and at the age of twenty-five, she broke through the third order.

The knight has awakened the power of the bloodline spell, and can fight beyond the ranks compared to the warrior. According to Audrey's age, if life is going well, she can hit the legendary realm before the age of sixty.

At the same time, the captain of the second team, Lost, also advanced to the fourth order knight in April.

Sophia's cousin, Bellman, also managed to break through to the fourth order.

There is also good news for the Mage Guild, after years of accumulation, the second ring magician Hiss has been promoted to the third ring, and the magic level of Butler and Anne has been improved to the second ring. Bella, the first apprentice to cultivate the Book of Fire, was also successfully promoted to a one-ring magician.

Last year, the territory researched the abandoned magic crystal charging technology, and the territory magicians have made contributions, and during this period of time after the success of the magic crystal charging technology, the feedback on meditation is particularly good, and the accumulation time is relatively long, and the main magicians involved in the research of the territory have all advanced smoothly.

Richard's younger sister Wendy, because she is the main developer of the magic crystal charging technology, has the deepest understanding, and has the best feedback when meditating, and has also been successfully promoted to the fifth order.
