Fantasy Lords: Starting with the Pioneer Knight

Chapter 152: Taking over the territory and expanding the territory

 The potion of life will play a big role in Thor's next plan. Whether it is developing his own power or expanding the influence of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce, it is extremely important.

 In knight practice, if you want to make rapid progress, life potions are almost indispensable.

 With ordinary talents, if one does not rely on life potions, it may take forty or fifty years to condense the seeds of life and become a trainee knight.

And if you have the blessing of life potion, even if it is just a low-level life potion, the speed of condensing life seeds can be increased by at least more than half, and it may even take less than twenty years.

 This is still an ordinary talent. If there is a person with strong talent, the speed will be faster.

 Just like Wren back then.

Although that is the reason for the mid-level life potion, low-level life potion naturally cannot have this effect, but even if there is some gap, for knights with high-level talents to practice, it is inevitable to reduce the practice time by 99%.

And more importantly, low-level life potions are very useful even for trainee knights to break through to formal knights.

 It can speed up the time to break through the official knight, which also means that it speeds up the time to break through the great knight.

 In the study.

Looking at Christie's nervous expression, Thor couldn't help but shook his head, but still comforted her.

 Listen to Thor's inquiry.

It has only been less than a month now, Thor has done all the work, and it will take more than ten days to produce a bottle.

 “Don’t worry, it’s just the beginning, don’t worry!”

Here, Thor not only gave them sufficient materials, but also gave them the opportunity to learn magic. As a result, their progress did not seem to be ideal.

 But this point is too difficult.

Just to use the life potion as a breakthrough, Thor also needs to ensure that the output of the life potion can sustain it.

 According to the previous auction price, the price of a first-class product is at least 200 gold coins, and sometimes it is even enough to reach 300 gold coins.

 “Me, I can barely reach 20%!”

The Eagle Chamber of Commerce wants to quickly open up the entire western trade route and build its own trade road during this period. Life Potion is undoubtedly the best choice.

"As for the output, if the materials are sufficient, one bottle should be produced in two days. However, given a little more time, it should be able to improve. The main reason is that the material we used in Frost Moon Province was not alumina, but crystal flowers. , I believe it will be adjusted soon.”

It has been nearly a month now, and Thor also wants to see the progress of the three pharmacists.

Christine's expression showed that he had lowered his expectations a little, but he didn't expect that it was not as bad as he imagined.

Thor raised his brows in surprise.

 One bottle can be prepared in two days.

 “Sir, it should be soon.”

Christine’s current configuration requires her to become familiar with it again, which is a very difficult process.

“In a few days at most, we should be able to guarantee that we can produce one bottle every day!”

Christine listened to Thor's words, her inner nervousness calmed down a little, and she spoke with a blush.

 The west is not the front line of the conflict with the orc tribes. Even the previous turmoil had a limited impact on the west, let alone other times.

Based on this calculation, his monthly income can reach at least 3,000 gold coins.

 Don’t look at it, it’s not much.

Low-level life potions have always had several formulas. Except for the life grass seeds, which remain unchanged, there are several other main ingredients.

Thor's silence, it was obvious that Christine had misunderstood, and she gritted her teeth and spoke quickly.

This is also the main reason why ten bottles of low-level life potion were enough to sell for 3,000 gold coins in the Loren City auction.

Christine felt really embarrassed.

“Oh, you can have one bottle a day now?”

Especially during this period, the powerful lords are dumping silver armors unscrupulously. It can be expected that the silver armor will be saturated in the next period of time.

 At present, she can only make one bottle in two days, and even she feels a little embarrassed.

Christine couldn't help but become a little nervous.

 “Say it!”

 Unless another war breaks out and these weapons and equipment are consumed, this saturation can be broken.

As for silver armor, to be honest, everyone in the Northland Province may not be short of it.

Nau is a specialty of the Northland Province. Frostmoon Province does not have it. Instead, Crystal Flower is used as one of the main materials.

 “One bottle every two days!”

Not to mention that it increases the possibility of breaking through the Earth Knights in disguise, but simply being able to speed up the process of entering the Great Knights is enough to make countless nobles in the Northland Province flock to it.

“Sir, the current success rate of the life potion output should have reached 10%.”

 Be aware that this is the result of changing the recipe.

 As a result, one bottle can last two days.

Although it is definitely not possible to reach this value due to the growth of life seeds, even if there is a gap, more than a thousand gold coins is definitely not a problem. That is 10,000 gold coins a year.

Thor was a little surprised, and his eyes instantly looked at Christini, with a dangerous light in his pupils.

 He doesn’t want someone to do something bad for him when the territory has just begun.

“Sir, I have been meditating for a while. I can pause my practice and try my best to improve first. I think it should be fine!”

Christine didn’t notice it and hurriedly explained.

Hearing Christini’s words, Thor’s dangerous look faded away and he couldn’t help but breathed a sigh of relief.

 The situation was not what he thought.

"this!"

 “Forget it then, you should continue to practice!”

“There’s no rush for this, I think they will be familiar with it soon.”

 After Thor breathed a sigh of relief, he shook his head and rejected Christine's proposal.

Christine has a good talent as a mage, so Thor naturally cannot let her opponent fight against the pharmacist.

Every mage is a born pharmacist, but not every pharmacist is qualified to become a mage.

 It is even difficult for most pharmacists to become a mage. Even a first-level mage is unlikely.

 If a mage can be born in the territory, it will be of great help to Thor.

 “Thank you, sir!”

Christine breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked her.

　　Although she had just been prepared, Thor did not agree, which made Christini breathe a sigh of relief.

 At present, she is not willing to ask him to give up meditation and focus on medicine.

 But all this was given by Thor, and if Thor asked, she would comply.

“Okay, as for supplies, if you need anything, just ask!”

“What you need for practice is also included!”

"In addition, if you have any recommended pharmacists, you can also ask them to come over. I will not treat anyone badly."

Thor nodded, and then slowly spoke to Christine.

 “Thank you, sir!”

“I know, I know a friend who is very good at pharmaceuticals. I can write to him!”

"But I'm not sure whether he will come!" Christine looked happy and spoke quickly.

"Can!"

"You try it first. If he can come over, I can let Anna teach you alone for a while."

 “Others, too.”

Thor's eyes lit up, he didn't expect that there was an unexpected surprise, and he spoke with a slight smile.

 “Thank you, sir!”

Christine spoke with joy.

 Obviously, nothing attracted him more than this.

 In the study, Thor once again learned some things from Christie, and then let her go down.

 “Have you had seven bottles?”

 “That should be enough!”

Thor watched Christie leave while tapping his right hand on the table.

 Thoughts are constantly flowing.

Today, seven bottles of low-level life potion have been successfully prepared. At this rate, it should be enough to reach about fifteen bottles by the end of the month.

 It can already be used as the cornerstone of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce this time.

 As for the training needs of the territorial knights.

 Can wait for the subsequent batch.

 As time goes by, the level of the three pharmacists will increase rapidly.

 The output will naturally be sufficient by then, which will only take a few months at night, so the impact will not be big.

 Thoughts are flowing.

 Thoughts intertwined one after another.

 While Thor was thinking.

The door was knocked again.

"Come in!"

Thor's thoughts went back and forth, and he looked outside the door.

"grown ups!"

Peros walked in with a respectful expression.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at Pelos who walked in, Thor spoke with doubts.

“My lord, the supplies in Baron Gratton and Baron Sage have been inventoried. Do you need to go and take a look?”

Peros spoke respectfully.

 “Have you finished counting?”

 “Okay, let’s go and have a look!”

Thor was a little surprised, but nodded anyway.

 The figure stood up and followed Pelos out of the study.

 Baron Gratton's territory is in a different position than Baron Sage's territory.

Thor decided to visit the Graton Barony first.

On the one hand, the Baronial Territory of Grattan is located in the upper reaches of the Maine River, so you can go and see the dam. Secondly, the Baronial Territory of Grattan has been developed for a longer period of time and its territory is larger.

Perlos led Thor and the two of them towards the Baronial Territory of Graton.

Since they were not in a hurry, it took almost a day for everyone to arrive at the Baronial Territory of Graton.

Compared to the Eagle Territory, Baron Grattan's territory is no less impressive, and its territory is also extremely wide. Looking at the contiguous farmland, Thor's eyes can't help but light up.

 During this period, the Barony of Graton has obviously been further expanded. Not to mention other things, the opening of farmland has almost doubled.

 It could have been expected that there would be a rich harvest this year, but unfortunately it belongs to Thor now.

 Walking through the wheat fields.

Thor saw the somewhat panicked people of Baron Graton.

The territory was abandoned, and the people who were left behind were undoubtedly anxious and nervous.

 Fortunately, the affairs officer of the Eagle Territory had already arrived, and there were not many changes, so there was not much turmoil here.

But for Thor, their new lord, everyone still couldn't help but worry.

Thor scanned them one by one.

 You can see a lot of timid looks from the crowd.

Thor did not try to do anything about this.

 In this extraordinary world, or in this feudal era, the people in the territory, whether they are subjects or slaves, are considered his property.

 There is no need to appease the wealthy people's hearts.

 He only needs to ensure that the territory can be merged into his Eagle Territory.

 Fortunately, he returned to the family during this period and obtained ten affairs officers from the family. It was not too difficult for him to deal with these matters.

 Otherwise, if he swallows three baronies at once, he may be troubled for a long time.

 This is almost equivalent to a threefold expansion of the territory.

 The problems that need to be faced are not that easy.

But now that there are ten affairs officers, it will be much easier to deal with it.

 In this feudal era, there was no need for such a complicated management system.

Even if Thor joins the merit system, it will be much simpler than the Chinese dynasty where Thor lived in his previous life.

Thor took a step forward and inspected the entire Graton Barony.

He immediately entered the castle and called the three affairs officers in charge here. After understanding some issues, he immediately headed to the territory of Baron Sage.

 Compared to the Barony of Graton, the Barony of Sage is undoubtedly smaller.

However, this territory was also expanded.

Not to mention other things, the grain output of these two places alone is enough to more than double his grain income this year.

If you add in the territory that Baron Valmy should also expand, his food harvest this year can really be a bumper harvest, enough to support the expansion needs in the next one or two years.

By then, Kuwait’s plan should have been completed, and food will no longer be a problem for him.

 This point, Thor is still extremely satisfied with.

 Let alone the population.

Baron Gratton has twelve thousand residents, Lord Sage has seven thousand residents, and even if Baron Valmy is not as good as Baron Gratton, there are probably eight or nine thousand.

Adding these together, the number of his subjects directly exceeded the 40,000 mark.

 In the entire Northland Province, a territory of this size is even enough to compete for the top three.

 Once it can be absorbed, the strength of his territory will be greatly improved.
