Warlord: King of All Clans

"We still need ninety-nine magic crystals." Lying on the bed, Leo held Olivia in his arms and counted on his fingers, "According to the current price, ninety-nine magic crystals are about ten thousand gold coins."

"Isenpol is too small, so we can only ask in Frovald, Kiltland and Anhurst."

"If it really doesn't work, Oleynik must have quite a few, but they're just too far away."

Frovald is the main city of the Earldom of Fruilov. It faces the orcs directly. With the trade between the two sides, a large amount of magic crystals will naturally flow into the market.

Kirtland is the main city of the Earldom of Beowulf. The Earldom of Beowulf is the northernmost territory in the North. It is full of undeveloped mountains and the magic crystal resources rank first among the three realms.

Ancestor is the main city of the Earldom of Odalov, and it is also the holy city of the North, the economic and cultural center of the North, and has the largest market.

As for Olenik, it is the main city of the North and the seat of the Duke's Palace in the North.

However, this majestic city is located at the estuary of the North Glacier River and the Anzeno River, far away from the river bay and separating it from the entire northern border.

"Ten thousand gold coins, that's too much." Olivia lay on Leo's chest, her fingers unconsciously drawing circles on his exposed chest.

It was snowing heavily outside and the roads were blocked. The mistress of River Bay also had a brief moment of leisure, so she took Leo with her to spend the whole morning making a baby.

Two years of marriage without children is a long time according to Northern traditions.

Not only Olivia was anxious, but even the elders and vassals of Hewan were beginning to get anxious.

Starting this year, some elderly people in the village have begun to recommend folk remedies for conceiving to Olivia.

In some backward areas of the North, if a wife does not have children for three years, she will be criticized by the clan elders.

After all, three years is enough time for a man from the Northern Territory to go through three wars and survive three near-death experiences.

Not having any offspring for such a long time, isn't that causing the extinction of the family line?

Although Leo kept comforting Olivia not to worry, the River Bay Mistress didn't want to listen and just trained Leo every day.

After training every day, we would spend time together and talk about our progress.

Because both of them have careers and are constantly growing, there is always endless topic to talk about.

Ten thousand gold coins converted into copper coins would be one hundred million. Even though the current mistress of Hewan had money flowing like water and had passed through her hands countless times, she was still puzzled by this number.

In addition to the fixed output of the territory, River Bay also has the Lord's Mansion industry in Isenbol and the secret gold mine in Gravel Castle to provide a large amount of financial income.

The smuggling trade in the imperial capital some time ago gave Hewan an opportunity to make a fortune.

At the peak of her career, Olivia handled hundreds of gold coins every day, and the coins were packed in boxes.

But spending money is also scary. The dozens of small villages newly added in the United Knights' Territory and the fifteen large knight villages that were originally planned to be vigorously developed are all gold-devouring beasts.

Together with the refugees resettled by Hewan Territory, Hewan supported a total of 20,000 residents and 30,000 refugees in the entire northwest territory of Isenbol City.

The first 20,000 people were already self-sufficient and provided a large amount of tax revenue to the River Bay Lord's Mansion.

But the 30,000 refugees behind are still working hard on land reclamation, infrastructure construction, and training, with very little output, and are almost all supported by the money and food allocated by the lord's mansion.

Olivia spent 90% of the money she had just received in a blink of an eye.

As for the remaining savings, Leo spent all of them on lavish purchases in the imperial capital.

It’s not that the Magic Association in the Imperial Capital doesn’t have enough magic crystals. Dozens or even hundreds of them can be found, but the problem is that Leo has no money.

When Olivia heard about Leo's funding gap, she counted on her fingers and said, "We have already saved up all the supplies for this winter, but we have not yet completed the preparations for next spring. The income from the Isenbol Workshop cannot be touched, and I can leave half of the gold from the gold mine for you."

"Fort Buck has already started collecting business taxes. Although it's not much, it's increasing every month. By the beginning of next spring, it will increase even more. I can leave this money to you."

"Before the beginning of winter this year, the resettlement of refugees was completed, the planned arable land had been cleared, and it will be allocated for cultivation next year. More than 10,000 mu of cassava has been successfully planted, and there will be a harvest next summer. By the second half of the year, funds will be more relaxed."

"In this way, you can save an average of 800 gold coins every month. By this time next year, you will have enough money."

Leo was immediately upset, "Another year? That's too long."

Olivia laughed angrily, "Eight hundred gold coins a month is not enough? Are you a king? Or do you have a hen that lays golden eggs?"

Leo felt that he was ready again, so he turned over and pressed her down, "Aren't you the hen that lays the golden eggs?"

While Leo and Olivia were working hard on the farm, a charcoal fire was burning brightly in the fire pit in the hall of the lord's house. A group of little dog-headed people were crowded around the fire pit, listening to the snail elf Snell telling them stories.

Totos the turtle elf was always thinking about his little friend Six. Every time Snell finished telling an adventure story and asked Totos to verify its authenticity, Totos would nod absentmindedly and run to the gate to see Six outside the house.

Six, the golden-haired puppy-headed man, was sitting cross-legged on the wooden steps of the lord's house, with a layer of snow covering his head.

In front of her, there was a sword lying horizontally.

After meditating for a long time, Xikes suddenly opened his eyes and raised his sword to kill.

"Steel Flash!"

"Wrong jade cut!"

“Sword Slash!”

After a flurry of hacking and slashing, Six sat cross-legged and continued to regulate his breathing.

Totos was speechless and asked, "Six, can you be promoted to Extraordinary like this?"

Xix said confidently: "Leo said yes!"

"What Leo said was all nonsense!"

Six didn't believe it at all. "Leo, you can't even recognize as many words as I do. It's impossible for you to make it up so well! This is the swordsmanship inherited by the Knights of the Wind!"

"Once I have mastered the Gale Sword Intent, I will be able to advance to the Extraordinary level and extend my lifespan!"

Since his best friend Ostara came home, Six has become much more hardworking.

He no longer fishes or rides pigs, and spends all day thinking about how to achieve extraordinary awakening.

However, the gnolls have no extraordinary inheritance and rely entirely on natural awakening. No one can explain how they can be promoted to extraordinary levels.

Frasa used the authority of the Gnoll God to perform electrostatic induction on Six several times, but Six, who had read books, didn't believe it at all.

Seeing that Six was almost insane, Leo could only think of a way to make her optimistic.

So he taught her the "Gas Sword Technique" which had been "passed down for thousands of years" by the Gale Knights.

While Xikes was practicing swordplay in the snow, a stranger walked into the square outside the big house.

The man was short, wearing black leather armor and a hood, his face hidden in the shadow of the hood.

The guard in the big house who was on duty saw him appear early, and when he saw him approaching, he could only come out to stop him.

"This is the lord's house, no one is allowed in."

The visitor looked up at the lord's house and said, "Go and tell your lord that an old friend is visiting."

"I am Shadow Fisher, a member of the Firefly Adventure Group."
