Chapter 14: Put on armor!
After all the swamp lizardmen were escorted away, McKen looked at Lear subtly.

"Sir Li Er, if you still need slaves in the future, you can come to my Dragon Fang Chamber of Commerce. We will definitely give you the lowest internal price."

This is the lord favored by Her Highness Philena. Based on this relationship, he has a bright future.

Not to mention its mysterious methods.

Only a lord like this could gain a foothold in the wilderness!

Lear nodded.

"Then thank you in advance, President McKen. I will definitely bother you again in the future."

"Look, that's too polite."

After a few more polite words, Lear did not stay any longer and got on the carriage arranged by the other party and returned to the House of Roses.

McKen watched him leave, the smile on his face gradually faded, and his eyes became deep.

"Unfortunately, I can no longer afford the gamble. The stakes required to invest in a pioneer lord are too high."

When Lear returned to the Rose House, Jasmine, the high-level knight maid of level 12 who was beside Philena, was waiting at the door.

Her blonde hair is particularly eye-catching.

"Sir Lear, the supplies sent by His Highness have been placed in the side yard. Please count them."

"But the 100 craftsmen will not be delivered to you until tomorrow."

Although I don't understand why His Highness values ​​this down-and-out nobleman who was living in the slums just two days ago.

But since she had already given the order, no matter how confused she was, she had to ensure that she completed the task.

Lear nodded slightly.

"Ms. Jasmine, thank you for your hard work."

The two men had just exchanged a few polite words when the carriages carrying the wetland lizardmen slowly stopped on the spacious flat ground.

One by one, the swamp creatures covered with gray-green scales rolled over.

The muscles bulged high, full of power.

The amber eyes were cold and ferocious, as if they were about to devour someone in the next second.

When the other party's gaze swept over them, several doormen who were welcoming guests suddenly felt a chill down their spines.

It's so scary.

"Sir, all the wetland lizardmen have been delivered..."

The leader of the escort vehicle strode forward.

Li Er looked at the armored 9th-level knight and smiled.

He reached out and took out a dozen silver coins and handed them over.

"Thank you all for your hard work. Please have a glass of rum."

I bought a level 1000 army for 6 gold coins. This profit was so great that it’s hard not to be in a good mood.

The team leader took the silver coin and the smile on his face immediately brightened.

“You’re welcome!!”

No matter how much extra money you have, it is never too little or too much.

After saying this, he did not linger for long and turned and left with three teams of guards.

Jasmine, who was standing by, saw this scene and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"You purchased lizardmen as guards?"

Lear looked at these brutal lives, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

These are all the capital for development!

"Yes, Miss Jasmine."

The other party opened his mouth to say something, then closed it again, and finally spoke hesitantly.

"Your Highness asks, when are you going to leave?"

After each pioneer lord chooses a territory to be developed, he has one month to prepare.

When the deadline comes, you must go to the Grand Duke's Palace to apply for an extension, which cannot exceed three months.

If you haven't set off within three months, you will be punished according to imperial law!
The punishment could be mild, such as exile or military service and confiscation of property, or even serious, direct execution for desertion.

In this extraordinary world, you can't even escape.
"The decision can only be made tomorrow, but no later than half a month."

The other party nodded clearly.

"Good luck."

He added hesitantly.

"Your Highness thinks highly of you."

Lear smiled and said nothing.

He turned around and glanced at the wetland lizardman who was as obedient as a kitten.

"Ms. Jasmine, where is the armor?"

"It's all in there."

Nod and wave.

"follow me."

All the wetland lizardmen followed without hesitation for a second.

The supplies, along with the carriage and horses, were all in the side yard, but the driver did not stay and left.

The Rose House was the property of the Princess of Luolan City, and the area it occupied was also very exaggerated. One of its side yards was larger than the manors of many small nobles.

The horses pulling the cart were mottled unicorns, over two meters tall at the shoulder and looking very strong.

At this moment, he was leisurely chewing grass in front of the carriage.

The armor was piled on the ground, forming a small hill, reflecting the cold metallic light.

Each set of armor was equipped with a sharp steel knife.

Staring at these armors, the attribute panels quietly emerged in my mind.

Standard armor
[Level]: 1 star

[Features]: Forged with tempered steel, it has good defensive capabilities and incorporates dwarven techniques, making the armor suitable for most humans and humanoid creatures under two meters in height.

[Evaluation]: Standard armor with good sturdiness.

1-star armor, two hundred sets!
Lear took a deep breath.

"Everyone, put on your armor."

Upon receiving the order, the wetland lizardmen immediately stepped forward excitedly, picked up pieces of armor, and helped each other put them on.

These suits of armor are of distinctly dwarven design and are of excellent design.

It fits the body very well when worn by a 1.7-meter-tall lizard man.

The black armor exudes a cold light, and the sharp steel knife in his hand makes the wetland lizardman look even more ferocious.

The thick, strong and powerful tail is like a crocodile's long tail, passing through the specially designed tail part of the armor. Once force is exerted, it can easily break branches as thick as arms.

The amber eyes reveal cruelty and bloodlust, which makes people tremble.

They are shorter than the soldiers guarding the Rose House, but just as imposing.

It already has scales for defense, and after putting on armor, its combat power is taken to a new level.

Two squadrons of fully armed level 6 beginner knights.

Looking at the equipped wetland lizardmen in front of him, Lear's heart was filled with excitement.

Two days ago, he was still living in the slum of Block 9, struggling to figure out his future.

Two days later, he possessed a force that completely belonged to him, a large amount of materials needed for development, and a godhood that was enough to drive the world crazy!
The future is in your hands!
The smile on the corner of his mouth gradually became more and more wanton!

As Philena's personal maid, Jasmine was more like a secretary and had a lot of work to do. After the wetland lizardman put on his armor, she said goodbye and left.

Lear did not discriminate and took out a dozen silver coins, but the other party politely refused.

As someone close to the Princess of Lolan City, she has no shortage of money.

After returning to Rose Manor, he immediately went to meet the princess of this city, the most dazzling goddess in the North.

"Your Highness, all the supplies have been delivered to the House of Roses. When I arrived, Lord Lear had just returned, and he bought a group of slaves as guards."

Having said this, his expression looked a little strange.

Philena noticed her abnormality and spoke slowly.

"But what's the problem?"

"Not really. However, the slave guards purchased by Lord Lir are a group of wetland lizardmen!"

Wetland Lizardmen?
Philena looked a little curious.

"In the slave market, only the Dragon Fang Chamber of Commerce has recently purchased a batch of wetland lizardmen. The Colosseum should like these swamp creatures very much. Why is it being sold to Lord Lear now?"

The Flower of the North, Lorraine Rose, is not a genius who only studies magic as the outside world believes.

On the contrary, four years ago, when she just turned twenty years old, she began to get involved in the political affairs of Lolan City. In just one year, she won the respect of all political officials.

It will take time for the future extraordinary wizard to fulfill these titles.

The ruler of Loran City, Queen Loran, can also describe the Flower of the North at this moment.

But these things are kept secret, and only the highest level of the Grand Duke's Palace and the top nobles in Loran City know about them.

Jasmine said with a strange look on her face.

"Your Highness, you have transferred the manager of the Colosseum. He originally had a close relationship with the Dragon Fang Chamber of Commerce."

"Moreover, the wetland lizards are brutal by nature, and even the Ring of Slavery cannot suppress them. The Colosseum is unwilling to purchase them."

Philena raised her eyebrows slightly.

"It's true that wetland lizards are ferocious by nature. I killed quite a few of them seven years ago. But why did Lord Lear choose them? Can you control them?"

Can you control it?

Jasmine's face turned strange when she thought of the wetland lizardman who was as obedient as a kitten and did whatever he was told to do.

"Perhaps, it is somewhat beyond your expectation that those wetland lizardmen not only did not reveal their brutal nature, but were very obedient, as if they were completely tamed by Lord Lear."

Philena smiled softly.

"That makes sense."

Jasmine was a little surprised.

"Your Highness, aren't you surprised?"

Surprised? What's there to be surprised about?

A down-and-out noble descendant who came out of the slums could remain calm when facing her and tell her in person that they had become friends.

Can such a person be an ordinary person?

Philena looked out the window. The azure sky was reflected in her sapphire eyes, making her look extremely mysterious.
