Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 603: Chapter 34: The Hidden Wealth of the Territory (Part 2)

Ingrid’s Chief Steward made a total of 20 bottles, Su Li kept only 5 for personal use, among which Philis and Avril took away 2, Ingrid and Freya each took one, and now Su Li only has 1 bottle left in hand.

Su Li plans to give this last bottle to Hilude, although she has never been interested, Su Li thinks she might need this perfume more after her sweat-drenched training and bathing.

With such division, even the creator Su Li doesn’t have enough, which goes to show just how popular this perfume is.

The nobler the women, the more they need this to enhance their demeanor. For example, Freya, when she sprayed this perfume, and Su Li bound her hands, tying her to the bedpost, she got especially excited.

The price of these 15 bottles is certainly over 1000 Golden Crowns, and even 2000 Golden Crowns is not out of the question.

As Su Li was thinking, Hilude walked out of the Vault Area and stood before him to report: ”Lord, we have mostly prepared the things we need to bring.”

Saying this, she pointed to the two boxes in the hands of Fastrick and Ariana behind her, and said: ”Fastrick’s box contains jewels, including Crimson Pearls, Burning Pearls, Dwarven Jewels, and Magic Talismans.”

”Ariana’s box contains various forbidden witchcraft items, around 50 pieces.”

”The combined wealth of these two boxes is estimated by the Half-Elf to be over 6000 Golden Crowns. This is enough for us to gain extremely high returns from this journey.”

Su Li nodded. Adding the three-piece set, perfumes, and so on, the profits from this trip to Marle Castle might be around 20000 Golden Crowns.

Exactly how much cannot be estimated, as how extravagant Marle Castle is cannot be comprehended by just their small Pioneer Territory.

Then Su Li turned to look at these two Flying Horse Knights and their treasures. Ariana is another Flying Horse Knight of the territory, but she is not Su Li’s subordinate; she is a knight of the Corona Knight Order.

Su Li just temporarily recruited her for this trip. She is also one of the few Champion Level female knights in the territory, though her looks are relatively average, unlike Freya who is cold and noble, she is rather a muscular female knight, able to run horses on her muscles.

Before the Green Dragon War began, she heard about the grandeur of the Hesse Territory war while at the monastery, so she traveled far and wide, over a thousand miles, to Hesse Territory to participate in this Holy War.

But she doesn’t have to think that she’s not pursued; in fact, a whole squadron of people pursue her!

From Champion Knights to the elite among elites, in their eyes, Ariana’s physique is simply sexy and charming, plus she is merely average-looking, not ugly! With a bit of makeup, she could even be regarded as well-featured and graceful.

Su Li heard that recently she is getting along well with a Greenfield Knight, often dating, shopping, and sometimes even going on adventures together.

Su Li suspects this Greenfield Knight might be that Deputy Leader? Although his strength is relatively low, only elite level. But Ariana is already Champion Level herself, inherently independent and strong-willed, without the desire to idolize power, not caring if her partner’s strength is higher than hers. So the Deputy Leader’s charming personality and sunny traits are more likely to attract this female knight’s attention. After all, the Greenfield Knights are truly wild, full of enriching stories from the forest to share. This, instead, might pique Ariana’s interest.

And the box she holds is filled with forbidden items collected from various parts of the territory by the local army, knights, and City Guard Army.

Most of these were discovered during the cleanup of wizard towers and ancient ruins, such as the [Soul-Binding Elder], an evil wizard’s creation, with a porcelain surface covered in struggling handprints, housing tormented vengeful spirits, wailing when shaken, it temporarily enhances an undead manipulator’s black magic strength, making zombies and skeletons harder and their attacks sharper and faster. The price is long-term possession might lead to being possessed by ghosts at night, causing sleepwalking and cannibalism.

Then there’s the [Nekhara Funeral Dagger], a treasure brought back by the expeditionary corps from the tombs of the distant Arabi land, its obsidian blade etched with the true names of ancient tomb kings, able to awaken corpses as mummies when stabbed, the sheath entwined with holy scarab beetle shell and shroud, enabling the holder to control these monsters.

Additionally, there are bizarre items sold by merchants in cities, causing forbidden impacts, confiscated by the City Guard Army.

For example, the [Sensual Torture Silver Harp], its strings woven from virgins’ spinal nerves, inducing collective frenzy and debauchery when resonating. The soundbox inlaid with weeping woman’s skin, emitting pink mist from the sound holes.

This item caused chaos and frenzy when played in a city market; the City Guard Army, along with nuns from the Reya Church and Shalya Church, jointly shut down the chaos.

The infuriated court threw the merchant into prison, and only after his merchant guild paid a ransom of 180 gold coins were they released.

And without a doubt, this item was sealed into the Vault Area.

The purification and sealing of such items are specialties of the Redema Church.
