Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords

Li Wei was slightly surprised. He had originally sought out Bodo, this high-level mage, but the latter was also helpless with the red dragon's soul. He had originally planned to go to the Holy Light Church in Gonda and ask Fatir to have His Majesty the Pope take a look.

He didn't expect that the woman in front of him could solve this problem. It was really effortless.

The lord pondered for a while with his chin propped up before continuing, "In fact, I'm not without a way to solve this problem, it's just a matter of time. This reward is not enough for me to take the risk."

Everyone understands the principle of hoarding rare goods. If he doesn't take the opportunity to blackmail this silver dragon queen now, there won't be such a good opportunity in the future.

And as everyone knows, dragons have a deep love for treasures from the depths of their souls. Their greatest hobby is collecting treasures, and they spend their entire lives working to collect them, as can be seen from Sophia.

And a mature silver dragon who has traveled the continent for so many years, even if she's not as rich as a country, she's not far off.

So those who shout about slaying dragons every day are not only for the magic materials on the dragon's body, but also for the treasure that can make anyone feel greedy.

"Li Wei, isn't Sophia the biggest reward?" Silvia's lips curved slightly, revealing a sly smile: "Logically speaking, after a daughter has been away from home for so long, as a mother, no matter what, she should bring her back..."

"Alright, Ms. Silvia, you don't need to say any more." Before the silver-haired beauty in front of him could finish speaking, the lord waved his hand to interrupt, "Let's be sure to continue discussing the bronze dragon matter."

"Oh? Could it be that Your Excellency Li Wei has changed his mind?" Silvia's face was first surprised, then she couldn't help but curl her lips and smile, like a child who had succeeded in a prank.

The lord said righteously: "I have always admired the kind metal dragons. It would be impossible for me to turn a blind eye to a bronze dragon having an accident in our human territory. This will affect the friendship between us. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly when I go to Gonda this time!"

After speaking, he slammed his fist into his palm, with a sense of selflessness.

Anyone else sitting here would have blushed, but now the one here is the Lord of Highcliff, whose skin is thick enough to withstand a dragon's breath, and he doesn't have the slightest bit of shame.

"Li Wei, my mother must have a lot of money, there's really no need to agree so easily." Sophia said, this silver dragon girl didn't realize that she had been sold, and was still thinking of helping the lord blackmail her mother, "If it were me, if you didn't give me money, I would never help her work."

"Sophia, I'm not saying this to you, but your thinking is unacceptable." The lord turned around and actually began to educate Sophia, with a look of heartache, as if he wasn't the one who wanted a reward just now: "Money is just dirt, that thing is too vulgar."

The silver dragon girl's eyes widened instantly like copper bells, as if she had seen a undead, and she grabbed the lord's face with her small hands: "Li Wei, are you possessed by an evil spirit?!"

The fact that the words 'seeing money as dirt' could one day be spoken from the mouth of the extremely stingy Li Wei made Sophia seriously suspect that the other party's mind was being controlled by mental magic or that he was possessed by an evil spirit.

"It's over, I haven't learned spells in this area, so I can't dispel the evil spirit for you. If you still have some consciousness now, quickly hand over those hundreds of thousands of gold marks to me, lest they be greedy by the evil spirit."

"I'll return it to you when you get better."

She muttered non-stop, inadvertently revealing her true purpose.

"You're the one who's possessed by a undead." Li Wei slapped away the other party's dishonest little hand, with a vigilant look: "I warn you, don't think about getting close to those gold marks."

Good fellow, she's been thinking about that pile of gold marks all along.

That's right, given the nature of dragons, Sophia probably didn't directly rob him because she was afraid of his pair of iron fists.

"Li Wei, you don't need to worry about this, I will be watching everything in the dark and appear at the appropriate time."

As a silver dragon queen who has reached the legendary level in both her own strength and magical cultivation, and who is also known as the "Starlight," Silvia really doesn't have any airs, just like an ordinary beautiful woman, with a gentle tone.

Put it in a knight novel, enough to make a bunch of teenagers think about it.

"This Ring of Dawn will be given to you. If you sense that bronze dragon, it will glow, and the closer you get, the brighter it will be. At the same time, if you activate it, you will instantly leave the spot and go fifty miles away."

Silvia opened her palm, and a gilded ring appeared out of thin air in her palm, hovering.

Li Wei was not polite, took it over and looked at it curiously in his palm. He was wearing a green thumb ring on his thumb.

This was given to him by Fugello the last time in the Bone Fortress. There was no opportunity to use the magic in it afterwards, so the lord simply accepted it openly.

He directly put it on his middle finger, wearing two magic rings of inestimable value on one hand, with a sense of a country landlord.

"Why does this ring look so familiar?" Sophia's face suddenly became very strange.

"Is it? You must have misremembered it. After all, there are many identical rings in this world." Silvia gave a guilty laugh.

"No, this is the ring that Uncle Fiat gave me! I clearly hid it in a very secret place!" Sophia looked more and more familiar, with a look of shock, and a bit of disbelief on her face.

"You must have misremembered it." Silvia still retorted.

Li Wei and Bai Ruisi Tina looked at each other, watching the two who were about to erupt in conflict, and quickly left the room, and closed the door by the way.

Listening to the arguing in the room, the lord carried his hands on his back, watching the orc children in the distance building a snowman that looked three points like him, shaking his head and sighing: "It's really a decline in morality, the dragon's heart is not old!"

"You can fight, but if you damage anything in Highcliff, you have to pay for it!" Feeling that there seemed to be a tendency to fight inside, he shouted, and then ran away in a puff of smoke.

……

Because of this incident, Li Wei deliberately avoided Sophia next, and even delayed a trip to the Wind Whisper Tribe for this reason.

After a few days, there was a rare sunny day, although the north wind was still howling and the world was white with snow, the temperature was obviously much warmer.

Everyone in Highcliff was eating in the cafeteria. The lord was eating, but he always felt uncomfortable all over. Finally, he couldn't help it, and looked up at Sophia next to him.

The silver dragon girl was staring at the ring on the lord's hand with a pair of big eyes, but her hands were holding a lamb leg and tearing it fiercely, with a very fierce expression.

"Is it necessary?" The lord was very helpless, thinking that after avoiding her for a few days, she would forget about it.

But he underestimated the tenacity of this miser.

And Silvia, this unscrupulous silver dragon, also said that she would come to solve the red dragon's soul after a while, and left that day without knowing where she went, leaving this mess to him alone.

"This ring is useful to me, I might as well exchange this magic ring with you." Li Wei took off the green thumb ring on his thumb.

He had been completely worn down by Sophia and had no temper at all.

No one would be indifferent if they got up in the middle of the night to relieve themselves and there was a moving snowman squatting at the door.

That's right, she had guarded his door all night, so that the snow had filled her up.

That is to say, the dragon's physical fitness is strong, and any ordinary person would have been frozen to death long ago.

"Really?!" Sophia's eyes instantly lit up, and she asked with excitement.

She could feel that this thumb ring contained a strong magic power, which meant that it was also a magic item.

Li Wei was too lazy to pay attention to her, and threw the ring directly over.

To be honest, this magic ring is not very useful to him. The magic contained in it can cause damage within a hundred steps, and his holy light infusion is stronger than this.

Just give it to Sophia, so as not to make her haunt him like a ghost every day

Sophia, who took the ring, immediately threw the ring into her small bag happily.

This ring was obviously made for men, and her fingers were slender and could not be worn stably at all.

With compensation, she was no longer like she was just now, like a little kid who was rewarded with candy, and immediately continued to eat obediently.

"Marquis." A small rabbit-man guard jumped in from the outside, his furry tail still shaking: "Master Gus and Master Hogg are back, and there are many people behind them."

"Finally here." Li Wei, who was about to eat, had to stop again: "Let's go and have a look together."

……

Highcliff is a castle built on a hill, but rather than a castle, it is more like a small town.

The outer perimeter is a circle of red walls that are eight or nine feet high, and inside are rows of well-ordered houses and clean and tidy roads. Even the ground is covered with red bricks, so there is no need to worry about mud.

And under the hill, around the Benyong River, there are tall furnaces emitting thick smoke, surrounded by rows of blacksmith shops, and crowded but orderly houses of various kinds.

This area, in addition to being the place where Highcliff makes weapons, is also planned as the residential area for the slaves of Highcliff.

Now a large group of people are gathered here. They are all pale, wearing tattered strips of cloth or animal skins. No one would believe it if they were said to be savages, which is in stark contrast to the well-fed slaves of Highcliff who are at least covered in thick clothes.

Their eyes are curious and fearful, and at the same time mixed with deep envy.

This made the kobold and ogre slaves proudly straighten their chests, and compared with the people in front of them, they were undoubtedly much more decent.

"Sir, these three are the chiefs of the Cleftclaw Tribe, River Valley Tribe, and Shadowstone Tribe, respectively."

Joss, who was stationed at the iron mine, also came along, and was introducing the owner of Highcliff.

These three chiefs are very in line with the wilderness people's standards for choosing a chief. They are exceptionally burly, as much as two feet tall, taller than the lord, like a black bear.

These are all pure northern old people, who do not know when they hid in the Kas Mountains, and only today have they finally appeared in front of people again.

But compared with the other two, it is as ridiculous as a little fart.

Zat and Olak are both three feet tall, orcs as burly as behemoths, now guarding the lord wearing a cloak in the middle like the two generals Heng and Ha.

These two guys hang their eyes and look down at the three chiefs in front of them, the shadow shrouded them, although they did not say anything, but the pressure of the two killing gods is completely unbearable for ordinary people.

The three chiefs are obviously not hard bones, and immediately pushed Jinshan and Daoyuzhu, with a flattering look.

"Sir, you are like the soaring eagle in the wilderness, patrolling your territory, and we are all your people, and should be ruled by you." The first chief racked his brains to squeeze the words in his mind.

"We have long been looking forward to returning to Highcliff, but unfortunately you are out and not here. Today we can finally return to your rule." The second chief can only echo a little decadently.

"The wilderness has finally ushered in our own sun!"

The last chief looked excited and chanted in the tone of a bard.

"Flatterer!" Zat curled his lips secretly.

The other two chiefs also glared at each other.

"Cough cough." Although the lord tried his best to suppress it, the corners of his mouth just didn't know why they were upturned: "First talk about why you want to join Highcliff."

Although he can guess why these northern old people ran out, the lord still wants to hear their true thoughts from their mouths.

The three chiefs looked at each other and finally chose to tell the truth.

It is said that this Highcliff lord is a bloody demon king from the abyss.

Holding a heavy sword, with infinite strength, as long as he is glanced at by his eyes, even the strongest and most valiant warrior will be exiled to the gloomy and cold hell world, and will never be able to reincarnate.

And he also has the ability to see through people's hearts, and no conspiracy can be hidden in front of him.

"Sir, although the weather has gradually started to get cold in the past few years, the situation in our tribe has been good, although there are frictions with hostile tribes, it is still restrained within a certain range."

"Until this year, it has been snowing for almost a whole year. The heavy snow has covered the mountains, giving it a beautiful but cold coat. Our livestock died of cold, and the crops were frozen under the soil before they could emerge."

"The prey is hiding in the caves and will not come out, and even the most valiant warriors can only return empty-handed."

"The old people are frozen to death, and the women and children can only hide in the house, relying on the small flame to keep warm."

"If we continue to stay in the Kas Mountains, we can only be starved to death and frozen to death."

"We have heard that you are a very tolerant person to your people, and that you can accept any race, so we chose to join Highcliff and become your people."

"We will sow black wheat seeds in the spring and wait for the autumn harvest, we will store hay before the winter comes, and we will sing 'Ode to the Ice and Snow Goddess' when the first snow falls."

"Please be sure to accept us, a group of poor people who have nowhere to go."

The chiefs sobbed and cried about their tragic situation.

"We just want to live."
