Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

After Vandal opened the vault, Su Li's high-ranking direct subordinates immediately began to count the treasures.

Su Li had many high-value treasures in his hands, which would surely drive the nobles and wealthy merchants of Maleburg crazy.

For example, the silk stockings made from the silk of the Anaryk Queen Spider; he had the last pair. As long as this treasure was taken to an auction house, it would surely attract bids of a thousand gold coins from noblewomen, dignitaries, and wealthy merchants.

If there were enough participants, the price of this treasure could be auctioned all the way up to 1500, 2000, or even 3000 gold crowns.

Besides the stockings, Su Li also had a 【Kisser】. This drug-like creature was wildly sought after by noblewomen in the empire, who kept it in their makeup boxes. One kiss could make them radiant and rejuvenate them. Of course, the price was that they would age exceptionally quickly.

But no matter what, this Kisser could accompany a noblewoman until she was old, surviving for a few years or even a dozen years without any problem.

Since Su Li found this Kisser, he had been keeping it in the Dawn Church's prayer room, feeding it until it was fat and plump. Now was the time to take it out and sell it for a good price.

So Su Li thought about it and decided to bring a batch of Star Dew Sweet Oranges!

This was the third extraordinary spirit plant in the territory, a type of low shrub. Last year, it only produced 24 fruits. Su Li kept 4 of these six fruits for backup.

After all, this was currently the most powerful and precious detoxification item in the territory. No matter how deep the poison, as long as one ate a sweet orange, all toxins could be immediately eliminated.

Moreover, unlike potions, which are three parts poison, this detoxification effect was akin to natural purification, leaving no side effects on the target. It was a perfect item for purifying toxins.

For this reason, Su Li did not even allow Ingrid to turn all of these Star Dew Sweet Oranges into perfume, but instead left 8 of them, intending to sell them directly as items.

Given the rampant Nurgle plagues and the pervasive miasma in the forests and swamps of this world, Su Li felt that there would definitely be a large number of people who needed this kind of toxin-purifying item.

In addition, Su Li also planned to do a set of combined auctions. He would combine the stockings, the Kisser, and the Star Dew Sweet Oranges into a three-piece set to sell to a noblewoman.

If these three items were put together, they could restore a sixty-year-old woman to the radiant beauty of her twenties. Wearing the magic stockings would make her even more charming, infinitely radiant, and beautiful as if she were glowing.

It would be enough to make her duke or earl husband, who had long lost interest in her, go crazy again, returning to the passion and romantic years of the past.

More importantly, the Star Dew Sweet Orange might be able to purify the toxins of the Kisser. This thing was too dangerous, and Su Li had not tested it on his own women.

Of course, this did not prevent him from advertising it. After all, it was theoretically possible.

If all of this could really be achieved, then this three-piece set could actually be renamed something like 'Time Weaving Dreams,' 'Rejuvenation of Youth,' or 'Regret Redemption.'

After all, there were really many strong women in the empire who had devoted themselves to their careers when they were young and missed the best years with their lovers, losing out on beautiful love.

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

Basically, for every aspect of Slaanesh's debauchery, evil, and depravity, there is a god who governs the beautiful side of human emotions, such as love, happiness, and beauty.

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

When they were young, they missed all kinds of beauty because they were busy with their careers. When they became wealthy, they were already old and faded, and time was no longer on their side.

And this three-piece set can help them redeem this regret, becoming youthful, beautiful, radiant, and eternally youthful again.

There would definitely be some noblewomen who would go crazy for this, bidding at any cost.

Even if the Star Dew Sweet Orange could not completely change the life force absorbed by the Kisser, these noblewomen would be able to accept it.

After all, in this dark and desperate world, how could there be something completely beautiful without paying a price?

When they are able to regain their youth and maintain their beauty, they should first ask themselves, what is the price?

In addition to this three-piece set, Su Li also brought 15 bottles of 【Encountering the Clear Tide】 perfume, which was made by Ingrid. Annelise had helped her find many books on perfume making, and she tried to make it. As a forest witch, she quickly mastered it.

Using 12 Star Dew Sweet Oranges as the main ingredient, it perfectly integrated the fresh style of the forest witch. The top notes added the freshness of dew and citrus fruits. The middle notes added lily of the valley, iris, and white flowers of the Moon Crown Tree that only bloom under the moonlight. The base notes perfectly integrated fir, cedar, and vanilla, making this perfume even colder and more noble.

Even Su Li felt his heart pound every time he smelled this perfume, feeling that Freya, who wore this perfume, was incredibly precious. She was simply a noble and elegant female aristocrat, a perfect woman who would make men feel inferior and feel unattainable.

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 had 1 bottle left in his hand.

Su Li planned to leave this last bottle for Hilda. Although she had always been uninterested, Su Li felt that she was always training hard and sweating profusely. After bathing, she might need this perfume even more.

After such a distribution, even Su Li, the maker, did not have enough. One can imagine how popular this perfume was.

The more noble a woman is, the more she needs this to enhance her temperament. For example, Freya, when she wears this perfume, Su Li binds her hands and ties her to the head of the bed, he becomes especially excited.

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

Just as Su Li was thinking, Hilda walked out of the vault and stood in front of him to report, "Lord, the things we need to bring are basically ready."

As she spoke, she pointed to the two boxes held by Fasterick and Ariana behind her and said, "Fasterick's box contains jewelry, including crimson pearls, ember pearls, dwarven jewelry, and magic amulets."

"Ariana's box contains various forbidden witchcraft items, about 50 or so."

"The combined value of these two boxes is estimated to be over 6000 gold crowns for the halflings. It's enough for us to get extremely high returns on this trip."

Su Li nodded. If you add the three-piece set and perfume, the revenue from this trip to Maleburg is around 20,000 gold crowns.

No one can estimate the exact amount, after all, they can't know exactly how extravagant Maleburg is with their small border outpost.

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

Su Li just borrowed her for this trip. She was also one of the few champion-level female knights in the territory, but her appearance was relatively average. She was not as cold and noble as Freya, but a burly female knight with muscles strong enough to run a horse.

Before the Green Dragon War began, she had heard about the magnificent war in Black Forest Territory in the monastery, so she came to Black Forest Territory from afar to participate in this holy war.

But don't think that no one is pursuing her in this situation. In fact, there must be a company of people pursuing her!

From champion knights to the best of the elite, in their eyes, Ariana's figure is simply sexy and charming, and she is just average-looking, not ugly! If she puts on makeup, she can even be considered to have regular features and a delicate appearance.

Su Li heard that she has been talking to a Green Field Knight recently, often dating, shopping, and even going on adventures together sometimes.

Su Li suspects that this Green Field Knight is not the vice-captain? Although his strength is relatively low, only elite level. But Ariana herself is already at the champion level, and she is inherently more independent and self-reliant, without the idea of admiring the strong, not caring whether the other party's strength is necessarily higher than her own. So the vice-captain's flowery personality and cheerful characteristics are more likely to attract the attention of this female knight. After all, the Green Field Knights are really wild, and they have a wealth of experience in the forest to talk about. This is more likely to arouse Ariana's interest.

And in the box she is holding, there are some forbidden items collected from all parts of the territory by the territory's army, knights, and city guards.

Most of them are dangerous items that soldiers discovered when cleaning up wizard spires and ancient ruins, such as 【Soul-Binding Weng】. This is a product of evil wizards. The celadon surface is covered with struggling handprints, and it contains tormented wraiths. When shaken, it can emit a scream, which can temporarily enhance the black magic intensity of the undead manipulator, making the bodies of zombies and skeletons harder and their attacks more swift and fierce. The price is that long-term possession may lead to possession by ghosts at night and sleepwalking cannibalism.

Another example is the 【Nehekhara Funeral Dagger】. This is a treasure brought back by the expeditionary army from the tombs of the distant Arabian kingdoms. The obsidian blade is engraved with the true names of the Tomb Kings. Stabbing it into a corpse can awaken it as a mummy. The scabbard is wrapped with scarab shells and burial cloths, which can help the wielder control these monsters.

In addition, there are some strange items sold by merchants in the city, which have produced forbidden effects and were confiscated by the city guards.

For example, the "Slaanesh Silver String Harp" has strings woven from the spinal nerves of virgins. When resonated, it triggers collective madness and debauchery. The soundbox is inlaid with the weeping faces of beautiful women, and pink mist seeps from the sound holes.

This thing, when played in the market at the time, caused a burst of chaos and madness. The city guards, along with the nuns of the Leia Church and the Sharyar Church, acted together to suppress the turmoil.

The furious court directly threw the merchant into prison until he and the merchant guild behind him paid a ransom of 180 gold coins before they were released.

And this item was undoubtedly sealed into the vault area.

The purification and sealing of such items is a specialty of the Reedemar Church.

Hessenling doesn't have many priests from the Reedemar Church, and they don't dare to burn these things directly, otherwise it is likely to cause greater, permanent pollution, and an area will not be able to be purified, becoming chaotic polluted and corroded soil, permanently unsuitable for survival.

So Su Li simply took these things to Maleburg this time, so as not to cause problems when they are hidden in the vault area. In just less than half a year, after the vault area collected these forbidden items, three batches of guards have been rotated. Many guards said that when they were alone at night, they heard the whispers of demons in their ears.

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

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

He also didn't want to waste information about these pollutants every day, after all, the information revealed opportunities and wealth, and it would be too wasteful to use it to prevent the erosion of demons. Furthermore, if these things spread and corrode, and six or seven out of ten pieces of information every day are warnings about chaotic pollution, then Su Li's losses would be even more惨重.

It just so happens that the nobles of the empire like these things, or to be precise, the various cult guilds hidden in the middle of the city will frantically chase these things.

This is not something that needs to be avoided. There are many cults in the empire that believe in Slaanesh, from the isolated ones in remote mountains and badlands to the bustling big cities, they can be seen everywhere.

As an evil god, Slaanesh bestows countless pleasures and pains on believers, and can realize various dreams, such as completing an orgy that satisfies carnal desires, or writing a beautiful sonnet.

His followers are composed of a large number of sects and guilds, such as the well-known Pleasure Seekers, who have an almost public stronghold in Maleburg. As a mysterious organization that madly pursues ecstasy and pain, they believe that joy and pain are manifestations of the limits of human endurance. To understand pure pleasure, one must be familiar with pure pain and experience sinful deeds.

The sect has both male and female members, and they welcome everyone to join their ranks, whether they are slightly interested busybodies or complete fallen people. The Pleasure Seekers have no interest in politics, but many of their members are political celebrities and nobles, which undoubtedly enhances the organization's political sensitivity.

The organization has no taboos about the religious beliefs of those who join the association. In fact, many clergy also harbor unspeakable strong desires. The Pleasure Seekers regard themselves as theoretical experts in emotions, pain, and pleasure. No matter when or where, they must reach the climax of ecstasy, experience the pain of the Valley of Depravity, in order to relieve the hunger and strong desire in their hearts.

Initially, the Pleasure Seekers were just catering to the idle courtiers of the empire, but later they became more and more presumptuous until they held grand carnivals, popularizing the decadent cultural quirks throughout the empire. The Pleasure Seekers' organization eventually became Maleburg's darkest secret, with members ranging from city nobles to vendors and pawns.

Forbidden items like the "Slaanesh Silver String Harp" cannot be sold for a good price in Hessenling, but they will definitely reap a lot in Maleburg.

The box in Fastric's hand is also very valuable. The dragon blood gems inside are all made by jewelry master Moritz Antek and his seven elite dwarf apprentices.

Dwarf jewelry is by no means simply a symbol of wealth, but also a concrete embodiment of the culture and art of the sons of the mountains, so in Maleburg, dwarf jewelry enjoys a high reputation.

Moritz's artistic feature style lies in the signature marks made of rubies, tourmalines, topazes, and sapphires engraved on his crafts.

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 beauty, it is worth dozens to dozens of gold crowns.

The most outstanding top artworks are enough to sell for hundreds of gold crowns at auction.

Su Li has a piece of jewelry carefully carved by Moritz, "Heart of the Mountains · Dragon Blood Crown." The main body is a fist-sized dodecahedral dragon blood gem. The dwarves used thousands of hammers to polish each surface, and even tiny light edges can be seen at the edges, which can refract rainbow-like light under the light.

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

At the same time, the way the dragon blood gem is inlaid with other gems is extremely ingenious, using an almost invisible inlay technique. The transition between the gems and the metal is extremely natural, as if these gems are naturally grown on the dragon blood stone.

Even today, Su Li has played with it hundreds of times, and he still can't figure out how several different jades are interlocked together (you can go to the Hubei Provincial Museum to see how the ancient kings' jade pendants were interlocked piece by piece of beautiful jade, seamlessly, without any gaps, but interlocking. If anyone understands this craft, please give the author some popular science).

Moreover, it also has a certain bloodline effect. Within a range of a dozen meters around where it is placed, there will be no mosquitoes, snakes, or ants, and it even has a certain ability to purify feces, dirt, and fishy odors.

Such a piece of jewelry was auctioned for a sky-high price of 487 gold crowns in the Hessenling's commercial house.

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

Although the quality and craftsmanship of the jewelry Su Li is carrying now are not as good as this dragon blood crown, the top ones can sell for 100 to 200 gold crowns, and the ordinary ones can also sell for 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 the things, we will set off early tomorrow morning. Have you notified the team to assemble?"

Hilld calmly replied: "Lord Lord, the personnel to follow you have been selected. In addition to our knights, there are also Minister of Foreign Affairs Hatzklin, Minister of Agriculture Fandall, Gold Bread Food Truck Caravan Leader Bakins Brandy Gingerbread, Comradeship Club member Heimish Black Beer Heart, and Halfling Hero Ashfield."

Silvana raised her hand aside, her movements elegant and restrained, as if reminding herself of her existence, but not appearing to be taking over, and added with a light smile: "Of course, there is also me, Lord Lord. I also hope to get some opportunities in the Maleburg market, and if possible, it would be best to rescue a group of my elven compatriots."

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

Sure enough, she is an elf proficient in tea art. She not only stated that she was just traveling together, but also did not appear to be deliberately asking for it, and finally created a persona for herself of being compassionate and kind to rescue her compatriots.

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

Silvana understood how to advance and retreat. Having achieved her goal, she decisively took a step back, her movements elegant and calm, tilting her head slightly, with a faint arc on the corner of her mouth: "Then I will go back and prepare first. We will meet on time tomorrow."

Watching her silk-like skirt sway gently in the dusk, and her leaving figure like a zither string in the wind, Hilld glanced at her mouth and said: "No wonder dwarves and elves can't get along in harmony. These elves' personalities are really not likable."

Probably women don't like good sisters who talk tea language.

Su Li smiled and said, "It's okay, let her continue to show off her tea art, and she will eventually get herself involved."

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

Afterwards, Su Li retracted his smile and turned his attention back to business: "This trip out is also a good opportunity for us to grow stronger. You can discuss with Ingrid and bring a huge fortune to Maleburg to auction some valuable items."

Ingrid and Hilld are both leading wealthy women in Hessenling. There is no money in the territory, but they have a lot of money in their hands.

This trip to the largest and most prosperous commercial city in the Border Prince's Territory, Su Li is going out to make money, but they can completely go for a shopping spree.

This will be unparalleled for the improvement of their strength, especially Ingrid. She has tens of thousands of gold crowns in her hand. If she can buy some stronger witchcraft tools, magic books, and experimental equipment, it can help her break through quickly, and perhaps becoming a fourth-ring wizard is no longer a dream. Then the territory can produce legendary-level amulets!
