Lord: Starting from the Pit-Dwelling Courtyard

Chapter 146 Felix the Eighteen Knights

"Come on, I'll go with you to Gorubakburg. I just thought of a quick way to make money."

Just do it.

Upon hearing Ron's words, Doron was instantly dumbfounded.

What is the lord up to now?

Upon hearing that Ron was going to Gorubakburg, Old Hall came over immediately, looking quite annoyed.

"Young Master, you're going to Gorubak Castle. What about the territory? Who's in charge of the southern city wall project you just planned? And what about the clock tower construction plan, and the pottery production plan you devised—"

With the young master gone, won't all these tasks fall on his shoulders?

Ron said earnestly, "Old Hall, I've thought of a quick way to make money. Keep training the hotel staff. I'll go to Gorubikeburg for a while, earn my first pot of gold, and then come back."

Seeing how serious his young master was, Old Hall could only nod helplessly.

"Please wait a moment, young master. I will go and inform Leonardo da Vinci and Matic to accompany you to Gorubak Castle. I am not at ease leaving Doron alone."

Duolong, standing next to him, was speechless.

Old Hall glared at Doron, who was still unconvinced, and said, "Who told you not to break through to Earth Knight yet?"

In fact, Old Hall also felt disappointed that his son was not living up to his potential.

The number of Earth Knights in the territory is increasing, but among the old men who came with them, only Fanta is still alive.

Although Leonardo da Vinci and Thun were Ron's direct subordinates, they were ultimately not part of his group.

Now that there are Matic and Hilden, and according to the lord, Amy has a very high chance of breaking through to become an Earth Knight. In the end, among this group of old men, only Fanta is still holding the fort.

Upon hearing this, Duolong immediately shrank back, not daring to refute.

News of Ron's journey to Gorubek Castle quickly reached Novia's ears.

He looked at the letter before him, weighing his options in secret.

Should we send someone to Ron's territory to find our good brother? What if we are exposed and it leads to a falling out with Ron?

"Brother, I won't have a clear conscience if you don't die!"

Novia couldn't help but sigh. A few days ago at Neuschwanstein Castle, he had sensed a blood connection with Devon. Although the maid had cleaned the floor, Novia could still sense that Devon had bled there.

The thought that he could devour the last bloodline of his family would allow him to advance to Sky Knight, complete his bloodline evolution, and even become a legendary knight in the future was not out of the question.

Novia's body trembled slightly.

"Even if it exposes me, I'll take the risk. At worst, I'll break ties with Ron. As long as I can become a legendary knight, so what if we break ties!"

Having made the decision, Novia snapped her fingers, and a dark figure appeared in the shadows of a corner.

"My lord!"

"Go to the new castle in Ashwood and bring back my good brother."

"Yes, my lord."

It had been three months since Ron last visited Gorubak Castle. Even though it wasn't his first time there, he couldn't help but marvel at the castle's prosperity.

He and Duolong returned to their original base, where many houses had not yet been demolished, and the entire base was in a mess.

Ron asked curiously, "So where have you been staying all this time? How have you been running your business?"

Doron said, "We all live over at Gavin's place. His rented yard is big enough. There are only about ten of us here, so it's sufficient."

Ron nodded, beginning to plan out the open space in front of him.

"Lord Ron, what do you plan to build?"

Before entering the city, Ron had told Doron not to call him Lord, but to call him Lord Ron.

The two parties are merely partners, not superiors and subordinates.

The main problem is that our territory isn't strong enough right now, and we're afraid of being targeted.

"Build commercial housing!"

Duolong looked completely bewildered: "What kind of housing is a commercial apartment?"

Ron explained, "It's a house specifically for buying and selling."

Doron was somewhat annoyed: "A deal? Lord Ron, this is a territory I went through a lot of trouble to buy, and you're going to sell it?"

Ron squatted on the ground and drew a simple side view.

Ron laughed and said, "You said a house costs twelve gold coins per square meter. This place is two hundred and twenty-five square meters, which is about two thousand seven hundred gold coins. If I build it into a five-story building, no, an eight-story building, and it costs eight gold coins per square meter, do you think it will sell out quickly?"

Doron's eyes widened; why hadn't he thought of that?

Doron trembled at the mere thought: "Of course we can, and we can make a fortune!"

With just one transaction, he made over ten thousand gold coins. How many businesses in Gorubike Fortress can earn that much money so quickly?

"Lord Ron," Doron asked excitedly. "What should I do next?"

"Send me building materials according to this list, and then find out which house type sells best, which refers to the shape and size of the house." As Ron spoke, he drew the construction plans in his mind and also drew up the materials list.

Duolong accepted the order, took the list, and left.

Ron clapped his hands, glanced at the attribute panel, and prepared to change the Mage Meditation Technique for AFK classes to the Architect Mage Meditation Technique.

Ron Ashwood's Class: Early-stage Formal Architect Mage, Mid-stage Knight Apprentice, Mid-stage Professional Mage Apprentice; Constitution: 25

Power: 23

Spirit: 20

Mana: 6871

Random attribute points: 8

Complete template building 624

Mastery of the Architect Mage's Exclusive Meditation Technique: 145/1000

Professional Mage's Exclusive Meditation Skill Proficiency (Mastery): 21/1000

Superior Tai Chi Breathing Technique Proficiency (Beginner): 86/200

This is a meditation method exclusive to professional mages. After mastering it, meditating for a full week will still only increase your mental strength and magic power by 0.5, but the meditation time will be reduced from five times to three times.

During this period, he mainly played as an AFK mage, occasionally practicing a set of Tai Chi. That's right, Tai Chi. Because the Vortex Breathing Technique was integrated with other breathing techniques, it was perfectly compatible with Tai Chi. So Ron used Tai Chi as a foundation and perfectly integrated it with the breathing technique.

Practicing a set of Tai Chi is equivalent to practicing breathing techniques; it's simply wonderful.

If Ron weren't a professional mage by profession, he would have wanted to specialize in knighthood. The effects of cultivating the superior breathing technique were exceptional. With his casual, almost fish-like practice, he was showing signs of breaking through to the late stage of knight apprentice.

The only headache is that the rewards for random attribute points are getting harder and harder to obtain now; you only get one point if you build four thousand building templates.

Knight Felix approached Ron respectfully and asked, "Lord Ron, what are we to do next?"

Felix was one of the eighteen knights who came with Ron.

However, he was mostly Dorgon's adjutant, following Dorgon around.

When Doron arrived at Gorubakburg, he brought no one else with him except Felix, which shows how highly he regarded him.

Ron nodded to Felix: "Get everyone off the site. I'll handle it with civil engineering; they're too slow."

Felix turned to make arrangements, and Ron took out a crystal pillar.

"Don't rush, take a test first, and I will guide you in your cultivation. Everyone has one chance, and you are no exception."

Ron began drawing blueprints for the underground facility, but then he froze.

The qualification test data that Felix brought left him speechless.
