Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence.

Chapter 283 The Great Wealth Hidden in the Territory

After Fandral opened the vault area, Su Li's high-ranking direct attendants immediately began to count the treasures.

Su Li still has a lot of high-value treasures in his hands, and they will definitely cause a lot of madness among the nobles and wealthy businessmen in Maleburg.

For example, he still had the last pair of stockings made from the silk of Queen Anarrek's giant spider. If this treasure were to be auctioned off at an auction house, noblewomen, dignitaries, and wealthy businessmen would surely spend a fortune on it.

If more people participate, it is possible that the price of this treasure could be auctioned up to 1500, 2000 or even 3000 gold crowns.

In addition to the stockings, Su Li also had a Kisser in her hand. This drug-like creature was wildly sought after by noble ladies throughout the empire, kept in their makeup boxes. A single kiss from it could make them radiant and youthful. Of course, the price they paid was that they would age extremely quickly.

But no matter what, this kisser should be able to accompany a noble lady into old age and survive for a few years or even more than ten years.

Ever since Su Li found the Kisser, he has kept it in the prayer room of the Dawn Church. He has grown it into a fat one, and now it's time to sell it for a good price.

After thinking for a long time, Su Li decided not to sell the dragon blood stone for the time being.

In addition to the fact that he wanted to use this item to increase the knights' combat effectiveness, another reason was that he was worried that this thing would fall into the hands of the city lord. If he unlocked Sister Bei's special ability, it would be even more difficult for Su Li to kidnap Sister Bei.

Su Li was not sure whether he could meet Sister Bei on this trip. He had already made plans for a long battle to win over this married woman.

So Su Li thought about it and decided to bring a batch of Star Dew Oranges!
This is the third extraordinary spiritual plant in the territory. It is a kind of low shrub. It only produced 24 fruits last year. Su Li kept 4 of these six fruits as backup.

After all, this is the most powerful and precious detoxification item in the territory. No matter how serious the poison is, just eating an orange can immediately eliminate all the toxins.

Moreover, unlike medicines, which are three-part toxic, this detoxification effect can be called natural purification, and will not leave any side effects on the target. It can be called a perfect item for purifying toxins.

For this reason, Su Li didn't even let Ingrid make all of the Star Dew Oranges into perfume, but instead left 8 of them and planned to sell them directly as items.

Considering the situation in this world where the Nurgle plague is rampant and forest miasma swamps are everywhere, Su Li felt that there must be a large number of people who need this kind of toxin-purifying item.

In addition, Su Li also planned to auction a set of stockings, kissers, and star dew oranges as a three-piece set and sell it to a wealthy lady.

If these three pieces are put together, a sixty-year-old woman can return to the beauty of her 20s. After putting on the magic stockings, she will be even more charming, radiant, and beautiful as if she is glowing.

It was enough to drive her husband, the duke and earl, who had long lost interest in her, crazy again and bring them back to the passionate and romantic days of the past.

More importantly, Star Dew Orange has the potential to purify the toxins of the person who kisses it. However, this thing is too dangerous, and Su Li has never tried it on his own woman.

Of course, this didn't stop him from running the ad. After all, it was all theoretically feasible.

If all this can really be achieved, then these three sets can actually be renamed to Time Weaving Dreams, Reshaping Youth, or Recovering Regrets or something like that.

After all, there are really many strong women in the empire. They worked hard when they were young, missed their best years with their lovers, and missed out on beautiful love.

Unlike the Eastern world, this world still has many gods in charge of love and beauty.

Basically, the indulgence, evil, and depravity represented by sexual abuse have the opposite side of the beautiful side of human emotions controlled by gods, such as love, happiness, beauty, etc.

So women believe in all this especially and pursue beautiful love and memories.

When you work hard when you are young, you miss out on all the good things. By the time you become wealthy, you are already old and ugly, and time has gone.

This three-piece set can help them remedy this regret and become young, beautiful, and youthful again, with a youthful and youthful look.

There must be some noble ladies who will go crazy for it and bid for it at any price.

Even if Star Dew Orange cannot completely change the vitality absorbed by the kisser, these ladies can accept it.

After all, in this dark and hopeless world, how could there be something completely beautiful without any price to pay?
When they can regain their youth and maintain their beauty, they should first ask, what is the price?

In addition to the three-piece set, Su Li also brought 15 bottles of [Encounter Chengxi] perfume, which was made by Ingrid. Annaliese had helped her find many books on perfume brewing, and she tried her hand at making it. As a forest witch, she quickly mastered it.

Using 12 Star Dew oranges as the main ingredient, this fragrance perfectly captures the fresh style of the Forest Witch. Top notes incorporate the refreshing naturalness of dew and citrus. Heart notes include lily of the valley, iris, and the white flowers of the moonflower, which only bloom under moonlight. Base notes perfectly blend fir, cedar, and vanilla, giving this fragrance a cool and elegant feel.

Even Su Li would feel his heart pounding every time he smelled this perfume. He felt that Freya, who had sprayed this perfume, was indescribably precious. She was simply a noble and elegant female aristocrat, a perfect woman who would make men feel ashamed and out of reach.

Manager Ingrid made a total of 20 bottles, and Su Li only kept 5 bottles for his own use. Phyllis and Avril took away 2 bottles, and Ingrid and Freya each took away one bottle. Now Su Li only has 1 bottle left.

Su Li planned to leave this last bottle to Hildur, although she had never been interested in it. However, Su Li felt that she was always sweating during training, and might need this perfume more after taking a bath.

After this point, even the producer Su Li didn't have enough to use, which shows how popular this perfume is.

The more noble a woman is, the more she needs this to enhance her temperament. For example, after Freya sprayed this perfume, she would become particularly excited when Su Li tied her hands and tied her to the head of the bed.

The price of 15 bottles would definitely be over 1000 gold crowns, and even 2000 gold crowns is not impossible.

While Su Li was thinking, Hildreth came out from the vault area, stood in front of him and reported: "Lord, the things we need to bring are basically ready."

She pointed to the two boxes behind her, which Fastrick and Aliana were holding, and said, "Fastrick's box contains jewelry, including scarlet pearls, burning pearls, dwarven jewelry, and magic amulets."

"Aliana's box contains various forbidden witchcraft props, about 50 items in total."

"Combined, the halflings estimate that these two chests of treasure contain over 6000 gold crowns. This is enough for us to reap a significant profit on this trip."

Su Li nodded. If the three-piece suit, perfume, etc. were included, the profit of this trip to Maleburg would be around 20000 gold crowns.

No one could estimate the exact amount. After all, how luxurious Maleburg was was beyond the comprehension of a small border development territory like theirs.

Then Su Li turned to look at the two Pegasus knights and the treasures in their hands. Aliana was another Pegasus knight in the territory, but she was not Su Li's subordinate, but a knight of the Corona Knights.

This time, Su Li only seconded her. She was also one of the rare champion-level female knights in the territory, but her appearance was relatively ordinary, not as cold and noble as Freya, but she was a brotherly female knight with muscles that could run horses.

Before the Green Dragon War began, she had heard about the magnificent war in the Hessen Territory in the monastery, so she traveled thousands of miles to the Hessen Territory to participate in this holy war.

But there is no need to think that no one is pursuing her in this situation. In fact, there must be a team of people pursuing her!
From the champion knights to the best of the elite, in their eyes, Ariana's figure was simply sexy and charming. Moreover, she was just average-looking, not ugly! If she put on makeup, she could even be considered to have regular features and a pretty face.

Su Li heard that she had been getting along well with a Knight of Green recently, and they often went on dates, went shopping, and sometimes even went on adventures together.

Su Li wondered if this Knight of Green was the deputy leader. While his strength was relatively low, at elite level, Ariana was already a champion. She was inherently independent and self-reliant, not admiring the stronger. She didn't care about the other's strength, nor did she demand it to be superior. Therefore, the deputy leader's playful and cheerful personality easily attracted the female knight's attention. After all, the Knights of Green were truly wild, and they had plenty of experiences to discuss in the forest. This, in turn, piqued Ariana's interest.

The box in her arms contained some forbidden items collected by the territory's army, knights, and city guards from all over the territory.

Most of these were dangerous items discovered by soldiers while clearing wizard spires and ancient ruins. For example, the Soulbinder, crafted by an evil sorcerer, its celadon surface is covered in struggling handprints, housing tortured spirits. Shaking it emits a shriek, temporarily enhancing the undead controller's dark magic power, making zombies and skeletons harder and their attacks more powerful and swift. The trade-off is that long-term possession can lead to nighttime possession by ghosts, sleepwalking, and cannibalism. Another example is the Nehekhara Funeral Dagger, a treasure brought back from the tombs of the distant Araby. Its obsidian blade is engraved with the true names of the Tomb Kings. Stabbing a corpse can awaken it as a mummy. Its scabbard, wrapped in scarab shells and shrouds, allows its wielder to control these monsters.

There were also some strange and bizarre items sold by merchants in the city that had a taboo effect and were confiscated by the city guards.

For example, the "Sexual Harp" features strings woven from virgin spinal cords, whose resonance triggers collective madness and debauchery. Its case is inlaid with the face of a weeping beauty, and pink mist oozes from the sound holes.

When this thing was played in the market, it caused chaos and madness. The city guards, together with the nuns of the Rhea Church and the Shalya Church, suppressed the unrest.

The furious court threw the businessman directly into prison and did not release him until he and the chamber of commerce behind him paid a ransom of 180 gold coins.

And this prop was undoubtedly sealed in the vault area.

The purification and sealing of such props is the specialty of the Redma Church.

There are not many priests of the Redmar Church in the Hesse Territory, and they dare not burn these things directly, otherwise it is likely to cause greater and permanent pollution. No area can be purified, and it will become chaos-polluted and corroded soil, which will be permanently unsuitable for survival.

So Su Li decided to take all these items to Maraisburg this time, to avoid any problems if they were hidden in the vault. In less than half a year, the vault had been guarded by three groups since these forbidden items were stored. Many guards reported hearing the whispers of demons in their ears when they were alone at night.

Obviously, it is no longer safe to keep these things in the vault area. Who knows which prop may contain a demon.

He also didn't want even one piece of daily intelligence to be wasted by these pollutants. After all, intelligence revealed opportunities and wealth, and using it to prevent demonic corruption was a waste. Furthermore, if these things spread, and six or seven out of ten daily intelligence pieces were warnings about chaos pollution, Su Li's losses would be even more severe.

It just so happens that the nobles of the empire like these things, or to be more precise, the various cult orders hidden in the city will chase after these things crazily.

This is not something that needs to be avoided. There are many sects that believe in Slaanesh within the empire. They can be found everywhere, from isolated sects in remote mountains and rivers to bustling big cities.

As an evil god, Slaanesh inflicts countless pleasures and no small amount of pain on his followers, and can fulfill various dreams, such as completing a carnal orgy or writing a beautiful sonnet.

Their followers form numerous sects and orders, such as the infamous Pleasure Seekers, who have a nearly public base in Maleburg. As a mysterious organization devoted to the pursuit of both bliss and pain, they believe that both joy and pain are manifestations of the limits of human endurance. To understand pure pleasure, one must experience pure pain and sinful karma.

The cult includes members of both sexes, and they welcome everyone into their ranks, from the mildly interested to the downright depraved. While the Pleasure Seekers have no interest in politics, many of their members are political celebrities and aristocrats, which undoubtedly enhances the organization's political sensitivity.

The organization is open to the religious beliefs of its members, and indeed many clergy harbor hidden lusts. Pleasure-seekers consider themselves experts in the theory of emotion, pain, and enjoyment. They strive to reach ecstasy and experience the pain of the valley of depravity, anytime and anywhere, to quench their inner hunger and lust.

Initially catering to the idle courtiers of the Empire, the Pleasure Seekers' activities grew inexorable, until they organized grand orgies that spread decadent cultural practices throughout the Empire. The Pleasure Seekers' organization eventually became Maraisburg's darkest secret, encompassing members from the city's nobility to the common people.

Forbidden items like the [Sexual Silver Harp] won't fetch a good price in Hesse, but will definitely fetch a good price in Maleburg.

The box in Fastrick's hand was equally valuable. The dragon blood gems inside were all made by the jewelry master Moritz Antek and his seven elite dwarf apprentices.

Dwarven jewelry is not simply a symbol of wealth, but also a manifestation of the cultural and artistic values ​​of the Children of the Mountains. Therefore, in Maleburg, dwarven jewelry is well-known.

Moritz's artistic style is characterized by the signature logos on his works made of rubies, tourmalines, topazes and sapphires.

Even a relatively ordinary piece of jewelry is worth several gold crowns.

If it is a masterpiece carefully carved by this master, with excellent craftsmanship and magnificent beauty, it can be worth from a dozen to dozens of gold crowns.

The most outstanding top-notch works of art are enough to sell for hundreds of gold crowns at auction houses.

Su Li held a piece of jewelry meticulously carved by Moritz, the "Heart of the Mountains: Dragon's Blood Crown." The main body was a fist-sized dodecahedron of dragon's blood gemstone. The dwarf had meticulously polished each facet, leaving tiny prisms visible along the edges, refracting a rainbow-like glow when illuminated.

When the sun shines on it, the deep red luster of the dragon's blood gem flows like molten magma, giving people a strong visual impact.

The Dragon's Blood Stone is inlaid with other gemstones in a very clever way, using an almost invisible inlay technique. The transition between the gemstones and the metal is very natural, as if the gemstones were naturally grown on the Dragon's Blood Stone.

To this day, Su Li has played with it hundreds and thousands of times, but he still can't figure out how the different types of jade are linked together (you can go to the Hubei Provincial Museum to see how the jade pendants of ancient kings were made by linking each piece of beautiful jade together. They are seamless, without any gaps, but linked together. If anyone understands this kind of craftsmanship, please tell the author about it).

Moreover, it has a certain blood effect. Wherever it is placed, no mosquitoes, snakes or ants will appear within a radius of ten meters. It even has a certain ability to purify feces, dirt and fishy odors.

Such a piece of jewelry was auctioned at a trading company in Hesse for a sky-high price of 487 gold crowns.

Now this perfect piece of jewelry is collected by Su Li in the manor of Bauhinia Palace, side by side with Archibald's skull wine vessel.

Although the quality and craftsmanship of the jewelry Su Li is wearing now are not as good as this dragon blood crown, it is no problem to sell the top-quality ones for 100 to 200 gold crowns, and the ordinary ones can also sell for more than a dozen gold crowns.

These things are relatively light and can be taken away in a box.

Su Li waved his hand and said, "Take our things and we'll set off early tomorrow morning. Have you notified the team to assemble?"

Hildurde calmly replied, "My Lord, the personnel accompanying you have been selected. Besides us knights, there are also Foreign Minister Hartsklin, Minister of Agriculture Fandral, Baggins Brandy Gingerbread, leader of the Golden Bread Dining Caravan, Haymes Darkheart, a member of the Comrades' Club, and the Halfling Hero Ashfield."

Sylvanas raised her hand gracefully and with restraint, as if to remind her of her presence without seeming to overshadow the host. She added with a faint smile, "Of course, there's also me, my Lord. I also hope to gain some opportunities in the market of Maleburg. If possible, rescuing a group of my fellow elves would be the best."

As she spoke, she took the initiative to approach Su Li, helped him straighten his sleeves, raised her head and looked at Su Li cautiously: "I heard that you, Lord, have a special ability that can guide people to obtain rich opportunities. I wonder if you can also give me some guidance?"

She's truly a master of tea. She's not only a casual colleague, but also doesn't seem overly demanding, ultimately creating a compassionate, kindhearted persona for herself.

Su Li couldn't refuse such a good sister's request, so he could only say: "If there is a chance, I will not sit idly by. Then we will meet here early tomorrow morning and set off on time at six o'clock."

Sylvanas knew how to advance and retreat. Having achieved her goal, she decisively took a step back, her movements graceful and calm. She tilted her head slightly, a faint smile on her lips. "Then I'll go back and prepare. We'll meet up on time tomorrow."

Watching her silken skirt swaying gently in the dusk, her departing figure like a harp string in the wind, Hildurde curled his lips and said, "No wonder dwarves and elves can never get along. These elves have really unpleasant personalities."

Maybe women don’t like good sisters who are good at gossiping.

Su Li smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Let her continue to demonstrate her tea art. Sooner or later, she will be implicated."

This little green tea girl will soon find that her position and role will become more and more similar to Freya's.

Then, Su Li put away his smile and turned his attention back to the business: "This trip is also a good opportunity for us to grow. You can discuss with Ingrid and bring a huge fortune to Maleburg to auction some precious items."

Ingrid and Hilde are both the richest women in Hesse. Even though there is no money in the territory, they have a lot of it.

This trip to the largest and most prosperous commercial city in the border prince's territory was for Su Li to make money, but the two of them could definitely go and spend some money.

This would be an incredible boost to both of their strength, especially Ingrid, who possessed tens of thousands of gold crowns. If she could purchase more powerful witchcraft items, magical books, and experimental equipment, it would help her rapidly advance, perhaps becoming a fourth-ring wizard would no longer be a dream. Then, the territory would be able to craft legendary amulets!
