Chapter 381: Astrology
After the formation of the three artillery squadrons was completed, the time was already in early July. Ten days ago, a large number of poisonous aconitum planted in the newly opened magic plantation matured, and the pharmacists began to refine a large number of insect repellent potions using poisonous aconitum as the main material.
With the use of insect repellents, in just twenty days, because of the large reduction in diseases transmitted by mosquito bites, Haaland's territory has mastered a fist drug with outstanding effects.
According to the statistics of the pharmaceutical department, 90,000 anthelmintic agents can be produced this year.
A deworming agent can be used in a large range, which can last for half a month, and 90,000 anthelmintic agents are used to open up wasteland, which is very sufficient.
In early July, the summer harvest in Haaland's territory has begun.
This year, the wind and rain in the north of Xinjiang are smooth, at the turn of spring and summer, when Richard led his troops south, Harland led a fierce conflict with the orcs in the north of the Eagle Mountains, and even the size of the orc brigade went south to fight the grass valley.
It's just that Haaland led the northern defense line to be heavily guarded, and the orcs saw that there was no advantage to take advantage of, so they did not expand the conflict, but chose to retreat with their troops.
Now the Harland Leader occupies the northern foot of the Eagle Mountains, and the No. 10 military station is about 200 kilometers away from Pryland, which is equivalent to a nail embedded in the northern prairie, on the waist eye of the orcs.
If you don't uproot the tenth station and break through Haaland's northern defense, the orcs will not give up.
In the spring and summer, the orcs retreated, probably because they were afraid of startling the grass and snakes, and they were ready to accumulate strength, and when the autumn was high and the horses were fat, they would win or lose in one fell swoop.
In early July, Richard received another invitation from the multinational chamber of commerce, this time the Solenheim Chamber of Commerce, which was hosting the auction.
The Solenheim family was originally a duke family of the Holy Radiance Empire, but unfortunately, a title battle decades ago caused the Solenheim family to split, and some members fled the Holy Light Empire and turned into a merchant organization.
After decades of development, the Sorenheim Chamber of Commerce has once again cultivated a legend and developed into a multinational chamber of commerce. This multinational chamber of commerce, which has always sought to regain the title, has a very big conflict with the Duke of Sorenheim of the Holy Radiant Empire.
Because it involves the infighting of the Sorenheim family, the Holy Radiance Empire has no official name to intervene, but the great nobles of the Holy Radiance Empire have secretly intervened in the battle of the Solenheim family, and both sides have their own supporters, and fierce battles have broken out.
The Sørenheim Chamber of Commerce held a large auction at Linus Castle, and it is said that it was Archduke Jonathan himself who invited the Sörenheim family to facilitate this large auction.
The last time the Grant Kingdom held a large-scale auction, there was a murder and robbery, which greatly affected the reputation of the two multinational chambers of commerce, Fanxing and Cangqing. Many collaborators complained, and in order to settle everyone's complaints, the two multinational chambers of commerce spent a lot of effort.
In this large-scale auction, Duke Jonathan, and the Sørenheim family, are committed to protecting the participants and endorsing the safety of the auction. Grand Duke Jonathan and John Sorenheim, the two legendary knights, openly spoke openly and who dared to kill and rob the treasure after the meeting, the Grand Duchy of Starnik and the Sorenheim family will fight with them endlessly.
Because of the security guarantee and the fact that the Grand Duchy of Starnik was an ally of the Kingdom of Grant, Richard dared to participate in this auction with a small number of guards.
Although he brought few people, when he went to Venus Castle, Richard still took the third Warcraft Cavalry Brigade, the second and fourth Lion Knights Squad, the first squadron of the guard brigade directly under Richard, and the first squadron of the Harland Mage Association, with a total number of about five hundred and fifty people.
Haaland's territory has been domesticating lions for eight and a half years, and the number of lions has expanded to sixty-five at the earliest. Today, Haaland has formed four lion squads, and the number of lion cavalry has increased to forty-three.
Last fall, the bipedal wyvern also successfully hatched three heads, but it will take twelve or thirteen years for these three small bipedal wyverns to grow up.
Because the road is full of elite soldiers, plus the space props carried by Richard and Wendini have a large amount of grain and grass, there is no need to buy supplies along the way, the road is very fast, it only took eight days, Richard and others crossed a distance of 800 kilometers, and the average daily marching speed reached about 100 kilometers.
Even though he used the Warcraft War Horse to hurry, it still took six or seven hours to march hundreds of kilometers a day, and it was extremely hard to walk every day.
After entering Linus Castle, it suddenly began to drizzle, and the rain soaked the dry air near Linus Castle, which made people feel refreshed.
Because of his special relationship with Archduke Jonathan, Richard lived directly in Duke Jonathan's villa.
The date of the auction is July 19, and compared to the last starry and blue joint auction, the Sollenheim family has brought more goods to be auctioned, but the items auctioned by the Solenheim family this time do not need gold coins, but need to be paid for with magic crystals and extraordinary resources.
As for the resources sold by other nobles, the conditions can be negotiated for themselves, the Solenheim family will only take three percent of the value, and the Grand Duchy of Starnik will take five percent.
After drawing the proceeds, the two of them are responsible for securing the auction.
There is no shortage of magic crystals in the Harland Domain, and there are a total of 28,000 standard magic crystals accumulated in the Mage Tower, in addition to the extraordinary resources abundant in the territory, such as Tenghui Elixirs, Alchemy Bombs, and Enchanted Armor, in addition, Sophia also took out dozens of medium magic plants that had been planted for more than ten years from the Mage Tower Plantation. These dozens of medium-sized magic plants are worth about tens of thousands of gold coins together.
Counting the miscellaneous things, in order to participate in this trade fair, Richard and Sophia prepared 600,000 gold coins of extraordinary resources, as long as there is a high-grade dragon blood fruit, even if they pay a high premium, they must grab this thing.
On 19 July, the Sørenheim auction took place at the Linus Castle Opera House.
This is Richard's lucky place, and it is here that the Starlight Bottle picks up leaks. Back then, Richard only spent 200 gold coins to win two legendary fourth-order treasures.
The Starlight Bottle and Starlight Necklace were undoubtedly very helpful to Richard. It is precisely by relying on the deterrence of the Starlight Necklace that the Haaland family can become the overlord of Northern Xinjiang.
The lots on the first day of the auction are all regular resources, mainly enchanted weapons, enchanted armor, Warcraft War Horses, and mid-level and low-level magic items.
The Haaland family is a family of dukes, and Richard is a well-known heavyweight in a nearby country, and there are separate boxes for participating in the auction. An auction box comes with twenty-four auction plates, all of which Richard has reserved for important members of the Mage Guild and his subordinates.
Although low-level magic items are useless for high-level magicians like Richard and Sophia, they are very useful treasures for low-level and middle-level magicians.
Especially in a magical desert country like the Grant Kingdom, the premium price of magic items is very high, and holding a large auction can earn a very high income for the Sollenheim family.
On the first day of the auction, Richard didn't do much, but only auctioned four groups of flaming horses, each group of sixty flaming horses, and the average auction price was about 1,200 standard magic crystals.
Four groups of flaming horses, a total of 240 horses, cost 4,900 standard magic crystals, which were worth about 49,000 gold coins.
This batch of Warcraft war horses is not a good way to come, they are war horses resold by the Central Forbidden Army of the Divine Radiance Empire, and the quality is very good. Because Warcraft warhorses are numbered, they can only be sold in remote areas.
Although it is taboo to buy prohibited items in the Divine Radiance Empire, the Grant Kingdom is far away from the Emperor Tiangao, and the Divine Radiance Empire is thousands of miles away from the Harland Empire, and Richard is not afraid of someone pursuing it at all.
This year, Richard led his troops south, conquered Easter Castle, captured 300 flaming horses, and formed the Third Monster Cavalry Brigade.
Because of the shortage of Warcraft War Horses, the Third Warcraft Cavalry Brigade was very small, and the Warcraft Cavalry only had about three hundred people.
Participating in the auction this time, he got 240 flaming horses at one time, which was of great help to Haraland's territory to expand the population.
Now the scale of the Haaland Demonic Beast War Horse Breeding Base is already very large, with a total of 860 Iron Wildebeest horses and nearly 150 Flame Horses in the base.
In addition, Haaland led three Warcraft cavalry brigades, the first team of mounts is the Iron Wildebeest, which has been fully established this year, with a total of ten Warcraft cavalry squadrons, and the number of Warcraft cavalry is about 1,000 people.
The Second Warcraft Cavalry Brigade has six squadrons, with flaming horses as mounts, and the number of Warcraft cavalry is 600 people.
Although the Third Demon Beast Cavalry Brigade is a newly formed unit, because of Richard's attention, the total strength will soon expand to 500 people. This brigade also uses flaming horses as mounts.
Now that Haaland leads the Warcraft cavalry team, the number of flame horses is more than that of the Iron Wildebeest, but in the Warcraft War Horse Breeding Base, the Iron Wildebeest is still the mainstay.
After the auction on the first day, Richard directly approached the vice president of the Sorenheim Chamber of Commerce, hoping to exchange four thousand alchemy bombs for four sets of flaming horses.
On the second day of the auction, there were basically some precious potions for auction, and the finale was three magic snake potions, which were a well-known high-grade potion in the Dawn plane, and after taking it, it could increase mana by about thirty points.
After the appearance of the Demon Snake Elixir, it immediately caused a sensation, and the middle and high magicians of the major nobles took action one after another, and in the end, the three Demon Snake Elixir were snatched by the Grant Mage Association.
The auction price of a demon snake potion was actually speculated to about 56,000 gold coins.
The value of the Demon Serpent Elixir is not much different from that of the high-grade Styx Elixir, which shows the rarity of the Elixir that can improve mental power.
Richard and Sophia were preparing to refine the legendary Styx Elixir, so after the Demon Snake Elixir appeared, they didn't make a move. With the resource point of the princess's mausoleum, they still have the opportunity to hunt more undead creatures, so Wendini, Wendy and the others are not worried about not having elixirs to improve their mental power.
Several people in the upper echelons of the Haaland Mage Association did not fight, and although the middle-level magicians had intentions, their own financial resources were far from enough.
At the potion auction the next day, only Wilde auctioned off an eighth-order Holy Spirit Heart potion, ready to be used to break through the bottleneck.
Wilde had not been in Haaland's territory for a long time, and the gold coins accumulated in his hands were far from enough, but he had participated in many battles and had accumulated a lot of merits.
According to the standards of the Grant Kingdom, a single great achievement can be exchanged for a treasure worth 10,000 gold coins. Wilde paid two great merits and four medium merits, and asked Richard to exchange the Holy Spirit Heart potion for him.
Considering that Wilde had integrated into the Harland territory, married a new wife in the territory, and had children, Richard did not hesitate and readily agreed to Wilde's request.
After the second day of the potion auction, the third day of the auction was soon ushered in.
On the third day, the auction was a bit more messy, with all sorts of things.
After auctioning more than 20 treasures, at noon, the auctioneer held a thick magic book and worked hard to introduce it to everyone.
"This auction is the finale of the day. This book is a rare book of magic that introduces the very precious art of astrology. As we all know, the inheritance of prophecy spells is very rare and valuable, and it is rarely scattered outside. This magic book has been identified by us as a treasure from ancient times, not only recording the precious inheritance of knowledge, but also a high-value antique, with a starting price of 6,000 standard magic crystals. ”
Listening to the auctioneer's introduction, Richard saw the heavy magic book on the booth, and when he saw this magic book, Richard had a familiar feeling.
He saw this thing at the first auction he attended more than ten years ago.
It's a pity that the Haaland family was very weak at that time, and Richard remembers very clearly that this magic book fell into the hands of the Linus family, the royal family of Starnik at that time. The auction price was only about 10,000 gold coins.
More than ten years have passed, and things have long been different.
The Linus family was defeated and banished by the Jonathan family. Now that he has become the Duke of the Ryan Kingdom, he is struggling to gain a foothold in the Ryan Kingdom.
I don't know what twists and turns went through this original magic book that fell into the hands of the Sorenheim family.
Although the auctioneer of the Sollenheim family introduced it very hard, the value of this magic book is also very high, and the starting price of 60,000 gold coins is not very high, but the scene is very deserted, and there is not even a single sign.
After a while, a young attendant walked up to him and whispered a few words to the auctioneer, who nodded in understanding.
It turned out that more than ten years ago, the great nobles of Starnik joined forces and had the inheritance of that Starlight Mage in their hands. At that time, the auction price was not high, and the nobles would copy each other after buying it, plus breathing, astrology, experimental records, etc., and the price they paid was only about a few thousand gold coins.
This time, the auction was mainly attended by the nobles of Starnik and Grant.
The heavyweight aristocracy of Starnik mastered the astrological inheritance, and of course there was no need for auctions. Although the great nobles of the Grant Kingdom have needs, they also know the reason for this matter, and they are unwilling to be wronged.
