Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 813: Chapter 91: Powerful and Massive Witchcraft Treasures (2)

”We do, my Lord, we do.” Vandar immediately walked to a wall of the secret chamber and said, ”My Lord, we have a vast array of treasures, items, and witchcraft pieces here, totaling over 500 items.”

”This is also a significant matter I want to report to you. In the upcoming Radiant Competition Festival, these can enhance your combat power, aiding you in winning the championship.”

”Additionally, this is also your wealth accumulation. Since these items are not standard materials, they typically won’t be distributed to the army. They generally have two uses: first, as rewards to Knights for their merits, enhancing their combat abilities; and second, for sale to generate wealth. We have a large quantity of witchcraft items and treasures. My suggestion is that you process a portion externally. Once placed in the auction house in Hesse Town, there will be Knights and Adventurers willing to bid for them.”

”We can keep some of the more numerous treasures to equip the entire army at crucial moments. These treasures are valuable collections, with an average price not below 10 Golden Crowns. If we could sell half, we could gain around 3,000 Golden Crowns.”

Vandar’s introduction brought a satisfied smile to Su Li’s face, resembling a treasury indeed. Like the Dwarves, one must accumulate vast wealth, even if not used, it mustn’t be absent.

If he had an heir now, aspiring to become a Pioneer Lord and establish their own endeavor, the current treasury could clearly provide Su Li sufficient support for them.

Whether it be treasures, Gold Coins, or even the Holy Relic of Glory, he could offer a portion to assist their endeavor and sponsor their forces.

Then Su Li said, ”I understand your proposal. However, I don’t think it’s necessary. Firstly, we aren’t in need of 3,000 Golden Crowns. Secondly, I think you’ve overestimated my rationality. Investments and wealth should coexist in various forms. Our Territory needs Golden Crowns, as well as various stored and accumulated assets.”

Vandar’s proposal is certainly good. Theoretically, with so many witchcraft items and treasures in Su Li’s treasury, they can’t be fully utilized, perhaps not even a tenth.

Due to their variety and number, without careful sorting, it’s impossible to allocate them fully. Most of the time, they remain in the warehouse as display pieces.

Sorting and processing a portion, converting it into Golden Crowns, then investing into the Territory’s development or acquiring shares of other workshops and companies, is evidently conducive to faster wealth accumulation.

But theory is ultimately theory. Vandar’s proposal to realize value is premised on Su Li being a selfless Duke, a heartless machine focused solely on national interests, capable of making calm decisions at every moment, without impulse, able to completely control desires.

But in reality, Su Li is not that. He is a very normal man, flesh and blood, who likes beautiful women, enjoys life. Though thoughtful, he is still in his prime, sometimes acting on impulse.

It’s impossible to have him think like an old man without desires, focused only on profit calculations.

That results in if the Territory has too much Gold Coin storage, he might indulge in impulse spending, possibly investing in unnecessary facilities, eventually increasing the financial burden.

The best investment strategy undoubtedly is a combination of Gold Coins, gold, shares, various movable and immovable properties.

Thus, Su Li decided to keep these treasures. The Territory doesn’t lack those 3,000 Golden Crowns. If they were liquidated, given Su Li’s liberal spending nature, it might just be handed out as rewards, such as allocating to the Bishop’s Council, rewarding some Knight Order, or even just issuing bonuses to the Dwarves directly.

And keeping these treasures can also serve as emergency funds. In case the Territory faces financial ruin in the future, or further in the future, if descendants fall into decline, selling off properties could sustain for a long while.

Seeing this, Vandar didn’t insist. After all, the Vault Area’s contents are Su Li’s property, and how to dispose of them is up to the Lord.

He can also understand; the Lord is not just the owner of this Territory but also the steward of the Bauhinia lineage on this land, he must also consider the family.

Then he continued to introduce: ”Among these treasures are many very powerful items, like the First Blood’s Fang. When wearing this bracelet, if an enemy is not injured, it will deal extra damage. It’s a product of the Yurik Church, a necklace made using the teeth of a Frost Wolf. Many Knights in the Territory like wearing it to enhance their Warhammer’s lethality. It only works on each enemy once. It doesn’t seem powerful, but its effectiveness is surprisingly strong when used. After all, it’s hard for a Knight to tangle with an enemy for long on the battlefield, often it’s a single strike through. With the Crushing the Weak added, it often yields miraculous effects, catching the enemy off guard and being slain in one blow. As long as a Yurik Knight can kill an enemy each time, the First Blood’s Fang effect can continuously trigger. Such necklaces are considered church products, and we have over 20 pieces.”

This necklace is quite suitable for Algernon indeed. As a Rusted Sword Knight, with his Sin-Slaying Greatsword, he can accumulate Divine Grace by slaying enemies, eventually baptize himself to enhance his strength. He and the White Wolf Knight Warband he commands already have more than 60 people.
