From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 98 Stumbling Blocks to Territory Development
Ryan listened quietly to the person in front of him, touched his chin, and said in surprise: "You mean he got rid of your surveillance and entered the market?"

"Yes, my lord. He should have bought something in it. Now he has preliminarily locked on a shop that sells ore ingots, because he has bought ore several times and brought it back, but his subordinates are a little suspicious."

"It's not surprising that he bought the ore, alchemist. It's just that he should have discovered your existence a long time ago, but why did he avoid you this time?"

Ryan frowned. He didn't know what medicine was sold in the other party's gourd. He didn't think there was any problem with Liman being able to get rid of their surveillance. After all, he was not as simple as he appeared.

It's just that his abnormal behavior this time made him wonder, maybe the other party's plan has reached the final stage?
"Do you need your subordinates to go in and find out?" the guard asked cautiously.

"No, the other party has not shown any actions that endanger the territory, let's wait and see what happens, continue to deploy control outside, and don't make claims."

After pondering for a while, Ryan finally vetoed the suggestion. Although he would definitely find something by sending someone to search now, he didn't want to.

Because this is undoubtedly pushing the other party to the opposite. What he needs are talents and friends, not making enemies everywhere. That is a stupid performance.

……

Time flickered, and two days and one night passed in a flash. With red eyes, Liman carefully poured extremely high-temperature liquid metal into a mold with a small crucible.

Watching the metal liquid turn into a crimson gold thread and fall into the mold, Liman became more careful in his movements, not daring to waste a single drop.

This is the piece of dragon blood gold, after two days and one night of refining by him, it has reached a relatively pure state, and it can barely be tried.

The alchemy core is not as simple as it looks on the outside. It has multiple components such as the shell, the absorption device, the conversion device, the output device, the storage device, and the operation core.

What Liman is currently using the mold to shape is the most critical "operating core". It was the same thing he made in the alchemy workshop before, and it was almost discovered by Ryan.

Because of the high-speed operation of the operating core, the strength of the material is very critical. He has tried more than a dozen high-strength metals such as thorium, mithril, and Mingjin to make it as the main material, but all of them ended in failure.

He has extremely high expectations for the Dragon Blood Gold this time, and he will not be able to find a material with higher strength than it in the short term.

While waiting for the molten metal to cool down, Liman was not idle, and began to disassemble the [Alchemy Core] that was like a metal ball.

He is assembled in a way of fit connection, which is somewhat similar to the way of mortise and tenon structure.As the shell made of dark gold was peeled off layer by layer, revealing the complex structure inside.

The most striking thing is the dense patterns on those devices, which are countless lines. This is a craft that looks like enchanting, but it is different.

Although it looks rough, the parts inside have been made small enough by him. If he is not a magician with strong mental power, he may not be able to do this.

After carefully checking the condition of each component, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Liman's forehead. He was rarely so nervous. The last time he felt this way, he was not bankrupt.

Soon, the liquid metal in the mold had cooled, and he opened the mold carefully, with a frenzied expression on his face.

He saw a conical object appearing in front of his eyes, with a bead-shaped top, a dazzling red gold overall, and layers of beautiful patterns, only a dozen centimeters long.

Take it in front of your eyes and observe it carefully. Although it is still very rough, its shape has already emerged. It can be tested again as long as it is polished and engraved with runes.

"Okay, great!"

Liman held it excitedly, quite fond of putting it down...

When Liman was making the final preparations, Ryan, who was "closed" in the castle, finally wanted to go out. After all, it has been almost a month since he came to Kanarling, and he has been staying in the city. He has not personally measured the area under his feet. piece of land.

The lord's travel is a big deal, whether it's safety issues or route issues, he can't be careless. Although the orcs are threatening to go away now, it doesn't mean that there is no danger.

Even Allen and Drey rushed back after learning the news.

"Okay, it's just to go out to inspect the territory, not to break into a dragon's lake or a tiger's den." Ryan looked at the two people in front of him and spread his hands, feeling a little helpless.

"You can't say that. After all, this is the border, and there are many dangerous factors. If you want to know the situation in the territory, you can send your confidant to go for a walk?"

De Lai's attitude is very firm, he is a clear-cut objection to Ryan's decision.

To put it bluntly, he believes that Ryan himself understands, not to mention monsters and the like, but how many merchants in the city do not want to change their lords?

They are quiet now, as if nothing happened before, but once they find a chance to put aside their relationship, these people will pounce on him like hungry wolves and bite his flesh.

It is a good opportunity for the lord to travel. In the land where the border has been fought many times, horse bandits and wandering knights are often looting. It is reasonable for the lord to be targeted and besieged to death by accident, right?
As long as there are some powerful businessmen, who hasn't raised some dead soldiers, guards and the like?
"If you want to go out, you must bring at least two brigades of soldiers to ensure your safety. It just so happens that the 'Tuntian Army' has already reorganized two brigades, all of which are qualified soldiers."

Alan's position is different from Dreyer's. His idea is that there must be enough manpower, so that no matter what monsters and monsters they are, they will not be able to make any waves.

Looking at the two people with clear banners, Ryan smiled, showing two rows of big white teeth, and finally confessed his plan: "Of course I know that there are many risk factors, but why is this not what I said I expected?

Since I arrived in the territory, I have been constantly moving. Although I have won the support of many people, there are also some people who hate me and want to kill me all the time.

I don't know who these people are, so I decided to give them a chance, a chance to kill me!

Either they take my head off, or I kill them all! "

Ryan's eyes showed serious killing intent, his territory does not allow so many secret mice to exist!

Allen and De Lai's hearts trembled, and they immediately understood Ryan's plan. They wanted to directly complete their work and solve the problem directly.

This "root" is actually mainly the merchant class. Allen has little contact with them, and his feelings are not very deep, but De Lai is different. As a political officer, he knows it too well.

Merchants, their hands are too long...
