While Leiter was thinking about the problem, Wardell was also counting the corpses of the Dark Eagle on the ground. After a little calculation, he said to Leiter after a while:
"Sir Rhett, I just counted. These days, we hunted a total of 102 shadow eagles.
Among them, there are four Tier 4 monsters, 23 Tier 3 monsters, 35 Tier 2 monsters, and 40 Tier 1 and Tier 2 monsters.
According to the market price, it is about 1,100 gold coins.
According to the prior agreement, you transfer 20% of the Shadow Eagle corpse to me, and I will pay you 220 gold coins.
When we came, we hid the big gold coins somewhere in the mountains. We need to wait for us to pass before we can deliver it to you. "
"No problem." Lei Te nodded, understanding this practice of leaving Dong XZ in the wild.
After all... that's what they do.
Even, worried about being bumped into by strangers, even Nina was hidden by Rilai early on.
The next day, Wardell and his party delivered the gold coins and bid farewell.
Wodrger stood on the top of the antelope slope, at the horn on the right, with a look of emotion on his face, and said: "Sir Leiter, although he came to the branch of the Dark Eagle, it has only been a short month.
But this unforgettable journey will remain in my memory forever. "
"It's the same for me. Every time I think of the Shadow Eagle Branch, I will never forget that I fought side by side with the Flame Lion Mercenary Group!" Leiter sighed.
Woderger smiled lightly: "Sir Leiter, before I leave, I have something to give you."
After finishing speaking, he took off a fiery red badge on his chest, stretched out his hand and handed it to Leiter.
"If we say goodbye today, it may be difficult for you and me to meet in the future.
This emblem has been with me for ten years. I hope you can accept it and make it a testimony of our friendship. "Wodelger looked serious.
Leite looked moved, and after hesitating for a moment, he pinched the regiment emblem from the opponent's palm, moved it to his eyes and looked at it.
The front of this group emblem is smoothed with fire-type magic crystals, and then the lion pattern is engraved on it. The back seems to be made of pure gold, and under the sun, it reflects a dazzling lustre.
Although the value is not high, the commemorative significance far exceeds its value!
"I will keep this badge well.
I will write in my memoirs that today a guest from afar gave me a badge that has accompanied him for many years, and I will treasure it for the rest of my life. "Leite looked solemn.
"Haha, that's great. If you have the opportunity to come to Ice City in the future, take this badge to the local mercenary union, and you will be able to contact me soon!"
"I got it!"
The two exchanged pleasantries for a few more minutes, and Wardell took Milton and Vicky on their way home.
Looking at the backs of the three leaving, Leiter's eyes were deep.
In sight, the truck pulled by the horse was loaded with a large number of shadow eagle corpses, as if carrying the memories of these days, drifting away.
Two hours later, an open woodland.
Rilei rode on Baige's back, leisurely looking around at the scenery.
Taker and Thales stared at a black monster egg on the ground together, with a strange light shining in their eyes, wondering what they were thinking.
"Ahem."
Rett's light cough broke the calm.
He picked up the dark-patterned eagle monster egg on the ground, glanced at Tucker and Thales' faces, and said:
"Unfortunately, there is only one monster egg, which cannot meet the needs of both of you at the same time."
But the words are not finished yet.
"Give it to Tucker!" Thales interrupted abruptly.
Then crossed his hands in front of his chest, turned his head and looked away.
Taker was stunned for a moment, he was already ready to fight for it. I was still thinking about how lamely Thales would use to argue with him. But after hearing this, he touched the back of his head, looked at Thales in surprise, and said, "You...you gave it up to me?"
Thales, who usually only let go in front of his family, regained his thin-skinned nature at this time, his ears turned red and said impatiently: "You are deaf, I have already said it, let it go to you.
It depends on what I do, I am not an apprentice magician.
Besides, such a trash monster with such a poor body, how will it protect me in the future? I don't care for it!
Hmph, you have rough skin and thick flesh, which is suitable for matching with such a monster! "
Rett smiled knowingly when he heard this, and a flash of relief flashed in his eyes.
Riley also turned his head at this time, his eyes swept back and forth between Tucker and Thales, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. His hands gently stroked Baige's head again, making him squint his eyes comfortably.
Tucker, who was usually very nervous, was moved in his heart, and suddenly a thought came to his heart: "Taylors has grown up!"
But he still had a big grin on his face, walked forward with a smile, and put his arms around Thales' shoulders: "Haha, thank you very much! Since you don't like the physique of the Shadow Eagle, I will protect you from now on!"
"Cut, who wants you to protect, you are still far away!" Thales glanced at his lips, snorted softly, and then said, "Let's talk about when we can reach the level of my father."
"Yes, yes." Tucker smiled and patted Taylor on the shoulder.
Rett picked up the monster egg on the ground, handed it to Tucker, and then said with a smile, "Unity is strength. It's great that you brothers can understand each other and be humble!"
Then he looked at Thales and said, "Don't worry, I will keep an eye out for you in the future, a magical beast cub that is physically strong enough."
Thales rolled his eyes and said, "I want to be able to fly!"
Leite smiled dumbly, "Hehe, it depends on luck..."
…
In the days that followed, Leiter took his three sons in the Shadow Eagle branch and started hunting monsters everywhere to harvest fate points.
The evening after half a month.
Leite mobilized his mental power, moved the earth element, and lifted the soil to the ground.
Tuck jumped down into the pit very consciously and fished out more than a dozen linen bags hidden in the ground one by one.
Then he looked at the three linen sacks beside him, and Tucker felt a strong sense of fulfilment, and said happily: "Hey, Father, the harvest this time is much richer than the last time!
And... this time, the demonic beasts outside the branch of the Dark Eagle should be cleaned up by us, right? "
Leite circled a dozen bags, and there were two bags containing magic crystals.
There are four bags, which contain the magic plants picked in the past three months.
About seven bags, containing some of the most valuable and relatively small materials on Warcraft, such as bones, teeth, claws, and so on.
There are five more bags, which contain the meat pieces that have been processed by killing monsters in the past few days.
These pieces of meat were all controlled by the water element of Ruilai, and they were frozen to keep them fresh.
Ruilai patted a bag beside him and said with a little pity: "In the past three months, I have hunted so many monsters at once.
It is estimated that it will take several years for the monsters in the periphery to return to their previous scale. "
But after thinking about it, he added: "However... although the number of monsters in the branch of the Dark Eagle has decreased, the supply of resources is more abundant. The monsters coming from other branches do not have to compete with the local monsters, and it is easier to settle down.
Maybe the actual recovery speed is much faster than expected. "
"Yes." Thales also responded and then said with an open mind: "It would be great if our territory was near here.
With the strength of my father, I can directly regard the branch of the Dark Eagle as our back garden. "
Um?
Leiter's pupils shrunk.
I was reminded of Thales' unintentional words again.
"Take the branch of the Dark Eagle as a back garden?" Leiter narrowed his eyes slightly, and after thinking for a while, he thought to himself, "It seems that it is not impossible..."
Of course, this possibility only exists in the future.
Now, with his status as Viscount, it is impossible to move the territory.
The only hope is to apply for the fief near the branch of the Dark Eagle after being promoted to Earl.
As soon as the idea emerged, it began to spread uncontrollably, gradually occupying his mind.
Leite was breathing heavily and continued to think: "It's not realistic to change the fief beyond the southwest border.
After all, there is a large piece of wasteland on the southwest border, and the upper echelon must hope that the new nobles will develop this place. It is impossible to sit back and watch the empty frontier forces emerge.
But when I am promoted to the earl in the future and choose a new fiefdom, when it comes to the southwestern border, which place is richer in resources and has the greatest value, it is undoubtedly the branch of the dark pattern eagle.
The branch of the Dark Eagle has a vast area and rich terrain types. Although the earl's territory is only a few hundred kilometres away, it is impossible to accommodate it, but it is no problem to accommodate only a small part, or build the territory around it!
Once completed, it will be of great help to the future development of the territory. "
Leite's eyes were fiery, and he looked around. There are woodlands, lakes, valleys, and mountains.
Whether it is breeding aquatic monsters, training rangers, planting magic plants, etc., they all perfectly meet his requirements!
The more he thought about it, the more Leiter felt that this land was very suitable as his fief after he was promoted to Earl!
The ambition in my chest began to swell!
As for, is he confident that he will be promoted to Earl?
That must be full of confidence!
Just kidding, mastering the simulator, his life path will never stop at the little Viscount.
Wouldn't it be a joke if he didn't even have an idea about the position of the earl?
Although, occupying the Warcraft Mountains, even a small branch of it, is also very risky.
Because the branches of the Warcraft Mountains are close to or connected, there may be a powerful Warcraft coming from other branches one day, and there is a huge and uncontrollable risk.
But it may be a trouble to others, but it is nothing to Leiter.
What he lacks most is the vision of the future. As long as the corresponding risk is prompted in the simulation, he can avoid it temporarily, or pay a certain price and move rescuers in advance to avoid it.
"A viscount who doesn't want to be a king is not a good nobleman!
The next goal is to become an earl and control the branch of the Shadow Eagle! Leiter was excited and set a goal for himself.
Ruilai glanced at his father's face inadvertently, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal, looked down at the pile of linen bags filled, and said thoughtfully: "Well, there are so many trophies, it's a little strange. More than I expected.
Father, I may trouble you to make a simple slate cart to load goods. Baige has excellent strength and can pull. "
Leiter's fiery eyes gradually calmed down, and a smile appeared on his face again, "It's a small matter."
Then he glanced at the system panel, looked at the [Fate Points: 349] column, and thought about it before going to the canyon defence line, if he could raise his strength to the peak of the fourth-level magister, it would not only improve his battlefield survivability but also protect him. It is also easier for the subordinates.
"But the potion of medium mental power is very expensive. Fortunately, with this hunting harvest, I should barely make up more than 20 bottles.
Besides, there are blood-origin beads, which can also save a certain amount of fate..." Leiter thought to himself.
after an hour.
With Ruilai's excellent carving technology, a simple wooden wheel and slate cart was assembled.
Tie it up with vines and tie it into a knot, and then bitten by Baige to drive the cart forward.
More than a dozen bags of loot were carried by Tucker to the car bag by bag.
A group of people set foot on the way home.
…
Ten days later, the surrounding scene gradually became familiar.
Rilai's heart moved and he communicated with Nina.
A snowflake in the sky immediately swelled up, turned into a little snowman and fell from the sky, falling into Ruilai's arms.
After waking up this year, Rilai discovered that Nina possessed a new ability, or not called an ability, but an enhanced talent.
That is, winter is no longer limited to summoning snowflakes, but can also disguise itself as snowflakes, float in the air, and hide its figure.
When she was in the branch of the Dark Eagle, Nina used this talent to hide in the sky for two months.
When a group of people passed Sun Lake, the ice surface had frozen, but there were still dozens of basketball-sized ice holes distributed near the lake shore.
Because aquatic monsters need to eat magic plants every day, Xilin's mission, in addition to patrolling, is naturally indispensable to sprinkle broken leaves of magic plants.
These ice holes were broken open by the aquatic monsters themselves.
puff puff
Suddenly, two of them jumped out of the ice hole and flew nearly two meters above the ice surface.
"stop!"
Leite became interested and rode Huige to the ice. Tucker, Rilai, and Thales also followed. When they saw the two fire-pattern fish lying on the ice, they all smiled.
"Ruilai, how many fire-type magic plants are there in our harvest this time?" Leiter asked suddenly.
Rylai recalled it for a while and then replied: "There are forty-three three-leaf sparks and five burning snake grass.
Father, are you going to feed these firefish? "
There was a smile on the corner of Leiter's mouth: "That's right, only low-level magic plants-three-leaf sparks are enough, and the scorching snake grass is kept for trading. Then some blue-leaf grass, the water-type monsters in the lake are more expensive than the fire-weave fish." A lot more.
By the way, let Nina give growth blessings to these aquatic monsters. "
"Understood!" Reilly responded, turned around untied a sack, and took out various kinds of magic plants from it.
The big red ones are three-leaf sparks, and the light blue ones are blue-leaf grasses.
Leite jumped lightly, landed firmly on the ice, and kicked the two fire-marked fish back into the ice hole one by one.
