The Lord Legend Of The Raicarnated Lord

Chapter 50
Lorist regretted spending 1400 gold Ford to buy 300 plus weapons and armor sets from the market. After purchasing the old equipment from Dawn Academy, he had Els go check if there were any other academies that had some old equipment for sale as well. Not surprisingly, after bribing an overseer from some swordsmanship academy with 100 or so gold coins, the, he managed to obtain up to 120 sets of plates and used armor as well as nearly a thousand spears for just 500 gold Ford.
Lorist also told Els that this was a great opportunity to make a profit and encouraged her to get to know better the supervisor of this arsenal so that she could buy used equipment at low prices on a regular basis. "Look," Lorist said as he lifted up one of the plate armor, "It may look a little old, but if you have it polished and maintained, it's, it will look and function almost as if it is new. If you did and sold it in bulk at a reasonable price, there was no doubt that it would be very popular among the mercenaries. ”
Spending money as if it was water, Lorist noticed that the 3000 gold coins he had would be completely depleted. However, he still could not bear to let the old equipment from the other academies not be bought and wasted. Now that he had spent enough to bribe those supervisors, there was no way he would leave the equipment alone, right?
After thinking about it, Lorist decided to go with him and auction off some of his belongings. It was a handmade mirror by Lorist himself. Back in the day when Lorist was still designing clothes for his former lover, he spent ten strange gold coins to obtain a number of transparent crystal slabs. Some were abandoned and he intended to use them to try to make a telescope, but gave up after failing several times.
When Louise and Charlando were about to get married, Lorist thought hard about how to give them a unique gift. It was then that he used a crystal slab to make 9 mirrors. Having been the head of a craftsman factory in his previous life, it was not difficult for him to make that mirror. He gave one of them to Louise and the other to Anfya just a few days earlier and was left with seven of them.
The process of making the mirror is not difficult and the material is also easy to obtain. Fearing that the mirror would cause an uproar in the market and garner unwanted attention for him, he did not let anyone know that he made it. Now that he was short on funds, he decided to sell some of them and asked Reidy to call Els.
Lorist decided to offer 4 for sale. When Els looked at the mirror on the table, she let out a surprised sigh. "Oh, so the mirror Louise has is your gift …"
"How do you know about the mirror?" Ask Lorist.
"Oh, Louise values the mirror so much that she won't let anyone see it. But I, the hidden El, have been toying with him for quite a while. Just two days ago, I used to shave my face! This is obviously much better than looking into my reflection on a silver platter. Of course, I put it back well so that Louise would not be suspicious, ”sumbar Els without shame.
Lorist told him that he hoped that he could arrange for someone to auction the mirror and ordered Els to say that the mirror was found inside some ruins and that they might be a magic mirror that was it has lost their power and has been in the collection of wealthy families until they decided to sell it recently to bring the family back from its dire financial circumstances.
The mirrors Lorist had made all had their own unique characteristics. The first is a circle with a diameter of about 15 cm with an intricate silver frame around it. Lorist put aside a little effort and carved enough English letters in the mirror to give a simplistic, yet enigmatic impression.
The second is a rectangular mirror with dimensions close to the book. Wrapping the random book with gold paper, he emptied the middle of the book and placed a mirror inside. He even used gold to carve a Chinese poem 'Quiet Night Thought' into the front page of a mirror, believe that there will be someone who will eventually spend their entire life researching eccentric and foreign Chinese characters.
The third mirror was oval in shape and Lorist made a handle for him so that it could be used as a hand mirror. It was made of a special black-colored wood found only in Grindia that he obtained from the dismantling of the crates which were said to have been passed down for thousands of years. Lorist only spent a few gold coins to buy the chest from the market and used his wood to make the pedestal and the mirror handle. On the back and the mirror handle, Lorist carved intricate patterns of the Blessing of Five found in traditional Chinese art. [1]
The fourth mirror was the one Lorist had spent the most. He used bronze to replicate the mirrors used by the ancient Chinese and placed transparent crystals onto reflective surfaces. He even tried to make her look old and slightly rusty to give her an atmosphere of ancient mystery. Under the mirror was the inscription 'Bright Moon Looking Glass' engraved in a common Grindian script.
After agreeing to Lorist's request, Els kept the mirrors for herself and admired them for half a day before she was willing to place them into the auction.
Ten days later, all four of them had sold without incident and generated a revenue of 13,000 gold Ford. After deducting the auction fee, Lorist was left with over 10,000 gold Ford.
When Els sent the money to Lorist, he told him that the four mirrors had caused quite a commotion in Morante City especially in regards to the strange carvings found on them. Some experts actually believe that they used to be magic mirrors that have lost their power and the words found on them could be what magicians use to activate mystical powers they're. When the auctions for each started, the prices rose exponentially. Els even said that he made enough bids on purpose to raise the price.
Lorist was very pleased with the results of the auction. However, the tactic would only work once and he turned down Els' offer to earn more.
With the money in hand, Lorist bought almost all used equipment from other academies. By the time Yuriy returned with 353 war horses, they had enough weapons and equipment for the entire army.
There were an estimated number of 50,000 spears, 2000 sharpened practice swords, as well as less than 1000 large swords and two-handed short words. As for the shields used for training, there were about 600 while there were another 800 shields of various designs. In addition, they had 700 bow arrows, 2000 plus cavalry spears, 1500 javelins, 71 sets of whole body knight armor, 583 sets of plate armor used by swordsmen, swordsmen, close to a thousand sets of chain letters and scaled armor, 2000 and more sets of leather armor as well as 12 ballistas mounted on the carriage.
All of this equipment has been maintained and installed for combat, the process consuming up to 2,000 Ford gold. That shield and protector also had the Norton Family emblem engraved on it. Lorist paid each of the four academy equipment managers 10 gold Ford and the other students of the 5 gold Ford academy respectively. They are so grateful to have gotten so much out of just working for a month.
Occasionally, Lorist daydreamed about the 10,000 gold coins more profit he would get by selling refurbished equipment, but he rejected the idea almost instantly. Charade's letter has returned and states that he and Potterfang have managed to acquire 700 strong young slaves and 2800 others who are members of their families and are currently on their way to Armatrin Port Duchy Lormo and was waiting for Lorist and the arrival of the rest. The only strange part of the message was that Charade asked Lorist not to forget to bring a swivel seat and a hollow rotor.
What was Charade thinking? Lorist was completely clueless about it as when Charade tried the rotating chair for the first time, he started crying for his parents nonstop after getting off that chair. No matter how Lorist tried to convince him that training with a spinning chair would help him develop a dynamic vision and provide great sword skills, Charade said that he refused to do that once again, and that he was not willing to do that, even if doing so would give him the ability to fly . What's he gonna do with it now? Don't tell me he'll train with it on the way to the Northlands .. We'll never get there in time if that's the case. Sigh, I think I'll find out sooner or later because bringing along only requires one more train.
I think it's time we moved. Lorist went to visit President Peterson once more and rented three large ships through the Peterson Merchant Guild that he would use to transport equipment, personnel, horses, and horses, as well as the thousands of sets of clothes that Charade had ordered before he left. While the amount of clothing was not small, the price was the lowest when compared to the other items they bought was only 700 gold coins. Terman was tasked with getting someone to pack his clothes for a few days before they left.
I guess I should wait another two days .. Since Yuriy had to order the saddle and other items the horse needed, Lorist spent 1000 odd gold coins, thus making him feel that raising an army was very expensive. Within a few days, he had invested over 40000 gold Fords and left less than 2000 to himself. He still had not paid the fee to rent the ship.
The day before they left, Lorist visited Instructor Claude, who had just become a Blademaster and handed over his book collection to him for safekeeping. Lorist only took the 100 that he thought were most important on the trip and handed the rest to Claude so that one day he could send him to the Northlands when there was a chance. Both he and his wife accepted the request happily.
Finally, it was the day of departure. The three ships of the Peterson Merchant Guild slowly left Golden Bay. Raising their sails, the ships sailed north.
Looking towards the Golden Gulf and the shrinking image of Morante City, Lorist felt a burst of different emotions that were difficult to express in words. I finally left the city I considered my second home. I wonder how long it will be until I return here once more, Lorist thought with a sigh. Given the uncertain nature of his future, he was worried whether he would succeed with his friends when they arrived in the Northlands.
At this moment, Alisa's clear laughter could be heard nearby. The girl thinks that the trip is all fun and games and jumps around on the deck playfully, anticipating reuniting with her father after days of not seeing him.
Seeing Lorist a little sad, Howard asked, "Teacher, what happened? You don't seem too happy … "
Lorist smiled and replied, “Not that. I'm just feeling a little sad because your Uncle Els didn't come send us away today. ”
After he said that, Lorist heard a familiar voice coming out from his ear. "My lord, your knight, Brennan Evanport is here reporting for duty. ”
A silhouette suddenly jumped down from the mast of the ship and landed on one knee, kneeling in front of Lorist. “I, Brennan Evanport, am willing to take Norton Lorist as my lord and honor and become a knight of the Norton Family. I will fight and fight until my last breath under the banner of the Raging Bear. ”
Lorist was surprised and pleased. "Els, why are you coming?"
Not saying anything, Els simply pointed to his shoulder, indicating Lorist to complete the knight ceremony.
Lorist took his sword and tapped each shoulder twice and threw his sword to the side before lifting Els up and giving her a hug, "I welcome your participation, my knight and brother. ”
After which, Els started to feel Lorist standing up and said, “Plan. Where's my knight badge? "
Lorist pushed Els away and said, "Sol, why should I have a badge on me? Don't touch me like that. Don't tell me you swung that? "
“You're the one swinging like that! I'm just trying to see if you have a badge on your guy. Stop ruining my reputation, ” Els said desperately.
"All right . Shadekampf, take the knight badge and give it to Knight Els, "command Lorist.
“So tell me why you are here. Is Old Charlando willing to let you come? ”Tanya Lorist.
"She doesn't know, I sneak up quietly. I have left him a letter and have made arrangements for Jindoz to take over as syndicate boss in my absence. The old man would not have time to bother with me as he would be busy staying at home taking care of his newborn children soon. And Jindoz is a pretty capable man. I believe this syndicate will prosper even more under its management. I personally feel that coming to the Northlands with you to get around is the best option for a person like me, ” Els said as she looked towards the cabin, secretly complaining about how long Shadekampf took.
After a while, Shadekampf returned and gave the badge to Els. When he put it on, he asked Lorist, "Why don't I see Terman and Yuriy around here?"
Lorist pointed to the other two ships and said, “They are on each ship and are assigned to transport equipment and horses. You will be able to see it when we reach Armatrin Port. I'm sure they'll be surprised to see you here. ”
After putting up her badge, Els looked at her chest with great satisfaction. “I don't really care about their reaction. What I'm interested in is the look on Charade's face. Let's see who the 'Esteemed Knights are now. ”
