The dragon lady doesn't like the lord

He stared at Howell Barron with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

The nobles present knew that this place was not something they could get their hands on, so they were prepared to wait for the two earl's sons to make their selection and then try to find a location farther away to open up.

They all looked at Howell Barron, wondering whether he would choose the most intense collision or avoid it.

"Hurricane Valley is also good. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and is suitable for a defensive battle."

Howell Barron is not a reckless man. He has never thought of confronting the opponent head-on from the beginning. Given some time, he is sure that he can kill the opponent.

So they had to settle for the next best thing and nailed the family crest in Hurricane Valley.

Hearing the other party make this choice, Andre Ocot sneered and sat back in his seat.

Everyone originally thought that it would be a fierce clash, but unexpectedly Howell Barron chose to avoid the fierce competition and took the Central Noble Group to choose the relatively good Hurricane Valley.

After the two major aristocratic groups made their choices, several powerful viscounts' sons also nailed their family crests to their desired locations.

Next, a group of nobles from the Northern Noble Alliance, led by Tulsi Jesse, chose Lake Besri.

Dozens of family crests fell down and formed a circle at Lake Begasiri.

The nobles present knew it well enough that this group of local nobles chose to stick together and annex the not-so-bad Lake Begasiri.

Several nobles who had already chosen Lake Begasili wisely pulled out the family emblem and inserted it somewhere else.

The nobles who were able to participate in the territory development were all smart people. They would not do stupid things like fighting against a rock with an egg. They all chose relatively safe places as their development areas.

After all, this development lasted for eight months, and there will be plenty of opportunities to regain the ground in the future.

Seeing that everyone had made their choices, Ron stood up and nailed the family emblem on the Thousand Mile Swamp.

This is the most correct position for development after Lilith eliminated a wrong answer.

This is a protruding rock, with only 2 square kilometers of the water gate exposed, and the rest is hidden in the muddy swamp covered with weeds.

Not far from the mainland, only 20 km of swampland.

After Ron made his choice, many nobles present couldn't help but look at him a little more.

This is the first noble to choose the swamp.

Everyone thought he was crazy. The swamp was damp, cold, and muddy everywhere. It was a problem whether he could build a territory, let alone cultivate wheat fields.

Others didn't know, but when the people from the Northern Noble Group saw Ron choose the swamp, several of them smiled with ambiguous expressions.

They thought Ron was frightened by Wilson Gray last night, so he chose the northernmost swamp.

This terrain is so confined that it is difficult for others to attack. If it really doesn't work, they can just escape deeper into the swamp.

Of course, many people also think that Ron's approach is very wise. Knowing that the other party will take action and the huge gap in strength, choosing the swamp may be the only way to survive.

Wilson Gray looked at Ron and sneered disdainfully.

"You can't hide!"

After saying this, he stood up, pulled out the Wilson family emblem, and inserted it in the Crichton Valley.

This is the only way to the swamp, and other places are blocked by mountains over 2,000 meters high.

The nobles in the North all knew clearly why Wilson Gray chose this place.

Fortunately, this location is not far from Lake Besri and can be reached in half a day, so it can look after each other with the Northern Noble Alliance.

Ron was not surprised by Wilson Gray's choice, because he understood that the feud was difficult to resolve and only one of him could survive.

This is also the reason why Ron is worried.

Of course, there is no need to worry too much. I will make another batch of potions when I return, and turn about thirty people into holy knights.

Together with the three dragon girls and myself, their fighting power is almost equal to that of Wilson Gray's Knights.

Then I won’t be afraid even if we have a head-on clash.

However, after Wilson Gray made this choice, Ron still pretended to be frightened, his face was pale and he looked listless.

He did this to make the opponent feel that he was sure to win, so that he could catch him off guard.

What Ron is considering is to eliminate Wilson Gray at the lowest cost...

Chapter 38: Forced to buy potions! The little nobles are oppressed everywhere!

For most of the morning, the nobles were repeatedly considering and adjusting their development positions.

It was almost noon before it was basically confirmed.

"Gentlemen, the time for selecting a new land for development is now over."

Hilton Byrne looked at his watch, stood up, and spoke with a smile;

"Everyone, take a rest. I have prepared a banquet for you to drink."

All the nobles who heard this respectfully stood up and bowed to express their gratitude;

"Thank you for your generosity, Lord Bourne."

"Everyone, please feel free to sit down."

After Hilton Byrne finished speaking, he raised his hands and clapped.

clap clap-

At first everyone was a little confused, and even a few little nobles started to applaud.

Then the door to the inner hall opened, and a group of maids in uniform came out, pushing brown wooden carts.

On the cart were bottles of translucent glassware, with pale golden liquid swaying inside.

"This is the Holy Knight Potion prepared for development."

Hilton Byrne moistened his throat and said seriously:

"The Kingdom of Sainttis stipulates that each pioneer lord can only purchase five at most, but today in the North it is different. You can purchase up to ten Holy Knight Potion."

"Each bottle of potion will be sold at the market price of 1400 gold coins. Gentlemen, in order to defend the territory, you can start strengthening your armaments."

No one was surprised at first, because magic potions were provided every time a territory was expanded.

Lords with spare money would buy a few bottles to increase their strength.

Those who don't have spare money can only watch from the sidelines. However, in a previous pioneering war, the Grand Duke of the Southern Territory marked all the nobles who did not buy magic potions.

Not surprisingly, they all died in various accidents.

Since this incident, before each expansion, everyone would prepare enough gold coins to buy at least one potion.

Ron was no exception and asked the maid to prepare the gold coins early.

But he was very unhappy about being forced to buy or sell, especially when he could make potions himself, as it would be a complete loss.

That’s true. We can sell it back to the market.

Based on the price of the potion sold yesterday, I lost a hundred gold coins after all this trading.

I must make up for it from the yard later... Ron has already started thinking about the ghost grass in the yard of the Earl's Mansion.

This is the main ingredient for making Shadow Assassin potion, and it is exactly what Ron lacks.

Even if the forced sale of potions hadn't happened, Ron would have been itching to pick them up, and now he felt even more at ease picking them up.

Without exception, all the nobles present had prepared gold coins to buy potions.

Small nobles basically buy one, not because they don’t want to buy more, but because their financial situation does not allow it.

The sons of the Viscount, who were slightly wealthier, would buy five or more copies.

The two earl's sons directly purchased ten copies.

In fact, they did not lack these potions, but in order to befriend Hilton Byrne and leave a good impression in front of him, they had to pay a price.

What's more, potions are consumables for nobles like them.

A lot of money is consumed every month. At this time, buying more can still gain some goodwill.

Ron only planned to buy one copy, just to avoid being marked.

If he had prepared earlier and made a few more potions to sell, he would have been able to buy a lot.

But there is no need. If you don't have the ability, it will be useless even if you show up in front of Hilton Byrne.

Because the difference in strength is so great, even if they are not standing at the same level, the difference cannot be more than a few steps.

Therefore, this kind of goodwill is useless.

Buying too much might arouse Wilson Gray's suspicion, which would be counterproductive.

Once you become strong enough, you don't have to please the other party, and they may take the initiative to make friends with you.

In this world, the strong fist is the king.

The purchase of magic potions lasted for a full half hour, and it was roughly estimated that more than three hundred potions were sold.

One potion costs 1,400 gold coins, so 300 potions would be 420,000 gold coins.

After Ron figured out the account, a hint of greed flashed in his eyes. It was too easy to make gold coins.

The price of the raw materials for three hundred potions would not exceed ten thousand gold coins, and it was all damn profit.

Now Ron realized more clearly that controlling the potion formula meant controlling the world.

Just one pioneering war brought in more than 400,000 yuan, and the money was also sold to various places in the North on a daily basis.

No wonder the Earl's Mansion is so luxurious, this is the reason.

Hard!

The fist is hard!

Damn these noble lords who control power, wealth, and potion formulas!

Of course, there is no need to be too envious.

As long as Ron is given enough time to develop, he can build a strong team, and then he will be the one selling potions to the nobles.

I believe it will be realized soon.

After the potions were purchased, the banquet officially began.
