Chapter 21 Mu Zhuo's Show of Good Will

On the martial arts training ground.

More than twenty knights formed a circle, looking at the Black Rock Leopard in the middle with shining eyes, as if they were looking at a beautiful woman taking off her clothes.

There is no knight who does not want to own a good warhorse.

Although the Black Rock Leopard is not a warhorse in the strict sense, it can also serve as a mount.

The key point is that this mount has the combat power of a junior knight. Isn't it much stronger than a warhorse?
How majestic it would be to ride on it!
Once on the battlefield, he is invincible!
"My Lord, could you give me one of these black rock leopards first?"

Qiaoton rushed over to Keyi and Sunan with excitement on his face and spoke in a voice so loud that the entire training ground could hear it.

After hearing this, the other knights were immediately dissatisfied.

"Why should I give it to you, a drunkard, first?"

"I'm a mid-level knight, I should go first!"

"Bah, I'm the best rider, you should give it to me first!"

"You're riding a horse, this is a leopard!"

“They are all the same!”

"Bullshit, I'm good at riding women, shouldn't the Black Rock Leopard be given to me first?"

Seeing that everyone was about to start a quarrel, Key rubbed his brows with a headache and waved his hand, saying, "Everyone shut up. Give this black rock leopard to Brad first."

Brad, who was standing quietly by, did not expect such a surprise and immediately smiled happily.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."

Qiaoton and others looked at each other, curled their lips and said nothing.

Brad had high prestige among the knights and was one of the strongest, so the first Black Rock Leopard was given to him first, and the others had no objection.

As for Keyi, Sunan had already said that he would refine a more powerful Black Rock Leopard for him later.

Sunan threw a necklace to Brad and said, "This is the key to control the Black Rock Leopard. As long as you wear it, the Black Rock Leopard will obey your command, but it can only accept some less complicated instructions."

"I understand, thank you, sir!"

Brad put on the necklace excitedly, and under the envious gazes of others, he rode the Black Rock Leopard and galloped around the training ground.

Ke Yi turned to look at Sunan and asked, "How long does it take to refine a black rock leopard?"

"Three or four hours will do."

Seeing Key and the knights showing joy, Sunan poured a basin of cold water on them again.

"The materials of the black rock leopard are black iron and gemstones. The cost of one is about thirty-eight gold coins."

Hearing this, Key frowned, but soon relaxed.

Compared to the increase in military strength, the cost of thirty-eight gold coins is nothing.

As long as the Blackrock Mine exists, Blackrock City will have a steady stream of gold income.

In comparison, what Black Rock City is more in need of now is military power.

Only with a strong army can we defend the cash cow of Blackrock Mines.

"Don't worry about the money. I'll take care of it. Now it's your turn to refine the Black Rock Leopard."

Su Nan nodded calmly.

Apart from meditating and making secondary active potions every day, he now spends the rest of his time reading books, and sleep and rest are basically replaced by meditation. It is not difficult to take a few hours out of it to refine the Black Rock Leopard.

Moreover, refining the Black Rock Leopard can also increase the proficiency in puppet refining. As you refine more and the level increases, the time spent will become shorter and shorter.

This matter won't take up too much of his energy.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

In the month of hazy summer (June), the rising temperature burned the leaves and the scorching sun licked the ground day after day.

Although the weather was extremely hot, the residents of Black Rock City all had smiles on their faces.

With the restart of the Blackrock Mine, a large number of caravans were attracted to Blackrock City.

The prosperity of commerce has raised the living standards of the people to a higher level. Although the city had just absorbed a large number of refugees not long ago, the Black Stone Mine, the army and the reclaimed wasteland were a good place to absorb these refugees, greatly eliminating the impact of the refugees on Black Stone City.

Everyone can see that Black Rock City is thriving and is more hopeful about the future.

It is worth mentioning that Sunan’s birthday is also in the month of summer.

Although Sunan said no, Keyi still insisted on holding a 17th birthday party for him.

All the knights of Black Rock City and several chambers of commerce that have close cooperation with Black Rock City sent representatives to attend the banquet.

Mu Zhuo, the president of the Fire Fox Chamber of Commerce, came personally and presented Sunan with a precious gift - twelve rubies!
Perhaps he heard that Black Rock City was purchasing gems.

In any case, this gift worth hundreds of gold coins was unique among all the gifts given by the guests, and its generosity surprised many people.

Sunan was also a little surprised.

He could sense Mu Zhuo's intention to establish a good relationship with him, but he didn't understand why the other party did that.

Could it be that Mu Zhuo had noticed his identity as a wizard's apprentice?

And do you also understand the meaning of being a wizard's apprentice?

Although he was confused, Sunan did not reject Mu Zhuo's advances and had a lively conversation with him during the banquet.

"I heard that old fox Mu Zhuo likes to invest in young people with potential. He probably already knows that you are a wizard apprentice, and he probably understands the power of wizard apprentices, so he gave you such a big gift."

After the banquet, Keyi and Sunan returned to the study, sat down and talked about Mu Zhuo's actions tonight.

"However, the Fire Fox Chamber of Commerce has influence throughout the Principality of Jinghua, and has cooperative relations with many chambers of commerce in the Principality of Fanxing. If you make friends with them, it will be much easier for you to collect wizard books and materials."

"Indeed." Sunan nodded and glanced at Keyi, "What happened? You seem a little absent-minded tonight."

"You saw it."

Kai gave a wry smile, then his expression became serious.

"The spies I arranged in Glitter City received intelligence that Zorf, Norwood, and Devin will all attend the Harvest Festival held in Glitter City in three months!"

Zolph, Norwood and Devin were all subordinates who followed Baron Ernest on the battlefield in the past, and he was the one who promoted them to lords.

However, when Baron Ernest died unexpectedly on the battlefield and Owen tore his face off and seized the baron title, these three people were intimidated by the power of Marquis Jinyan and chose to protect themselves.

It was precisely because of the silence of the three that Owen was hesitant and did not eliminate the two brothers immediately.

However, Key will not be grateful or forgiven the three people for this.

"If it weren't for my father, how would those three guys have had the chance to obtain the title of lord? But they don't know how to be grateful at all, and now they have turned around and joined the bandit's army. Damn it!"

Compared to Keyi's anger, Sunan seemed calm and composed, and said calmly:

"Except for Black Rock City, Owen now has complete control over the entire Flash Territory. I think he will attack us soon."

Key suppressed his anger and frowned.

What Su Nan said is also what he is most worried about now.

After thinking for a while, he quickly made up his mind, slapped the armrest of the chair, stood up and said solemnly:
"We can't delay any longer. We will attack the Black Scale Lizardman's lair in three days and eliminate this closest threat first!"

After two months of training, the cavalry regiment formed by Key has begun to take shape.

Although there were only more than sixty people, there were twenty knights, and the rest were apprentice knights.

More importantly, the entire cavalry regiment is equipped with Black Rock Leopards as mounts.

Although the time is a bit tight, with this cavalry regiment in hand, Key still has some confidence in wiping out the Black Scale Lizardmen.

"Let's do it this way. I'll go with you." Su Nan stood up and said.

If the war could be postponed to the Month of Books (August), and he could wait until he was promoted to a second-class wizard apprentice before attacking the black-scaled lizardmen, the losses would definitely be minimized.

Now, even if we can win, the losses will inevitably be huge.

But that's not necessarily the case, after all, he still has the spell scroll as his trump card.

If you are lucky, there might be a good result.
