Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 840: Chapter 98: The Once Trending Armor

After the first day of the Radiant Competition Festival ended, the tension that had gripped Su Li for a long time could finally relax a bit.

People are always like this; before a grand festival arrives, they are tense and give their all, fearing any mistakes.

However, with the event’s opening and everything going smoothly, no matter what, people can breathe a little easier.

Moreover, the second day primarily features the loser’s bracket matches, so he doesn’t need to compete, making him particularly relaxed.

After getting up in the morning, he first enjoyed practicing with Selanweir, and then he felt refreshed and looked at the information.

This summer, Tal’s divinity was relatively gentle, with few storms and crises, mainly revealing some insights into farming and plant growth.

It’s worth mentioning that summer might be the season of growth; the intelligence hinted at two pieces of information related to livestock, both presenting opportunities and insights.

One is about livestock herd cultivation; today is a day with particularly strong Divine Grace after the Summer Solstice. Feed pregnant mares enough Extraordinary Grass, then mate and breed them with a high chance of increasing Bloodmane Horses.

This is currently a very important and rare horse breed in the territory, within the Empire, only nobles and marshals are entitled to ride these prestigious Iron Armor Horses.

In terms of value, a prestigious Bloodmane Horse can sell for at least 300+ Golden Crowns, much more than an Elite Knight.

If the age and market are good, like during such a grand expedition season, where many nobles gather from all over to compare with each other, these prestigious warhorses can sell for over 500 Golden Crowns!

After all, what the nobles care most about is face and style. During this grand Empire event, the gathering of numerous nobles in a military camp, they’re all Barons and have all brought their troops here. How can they not compare? Let alone not divide ranks; in other places, maybe. In the Empire founded by knights, these proud knights, like roosters, often adorn their helmets and armor with feathers and embellishments, looking splendid. When they meet, how can they not compare?

So how to distinguish ranks if not by looking at whose armor is splendid and mount heroic?

At this time, the demand for armor and warhorses will markedly increase.

So, today’s intelligence not only highlighted the pasture’s exceptional horses but also revealed information on the Griffin Forest where three egg thieves had stolen four Half Griffin eggs.

They must have found a Half Griffin nest and cleaned out the Half Griffin eggs.

With intelligence assistance, Su Li must intercept them all, which is very reasonable. Many territories have such regulations, with vibranium and advanced warhorses strictly prohibited from leaving the realm.

Hesse Territory is certainly no exception; this type of advanced mount, Half Griffin, is absolutely not allowed to be taken beyond the border.

Even if it is to be sold, it should be a transaction between territories or an official patent.

Su Li plans to take out two of these Half Griffin eggs to sell to other knights and nobles, earning a significant sum and boosting the territory’s reputation.

So after breakfast, Su Li asked Hilude: ”My Chief Steward, do we have any scheduled plans today? If not, I’d like to inspect the territory’s pasture and the Black Forest Armory.”

Hilude, well aware of Su Li’s thoughts, smiled and asked, ”Is the Lord planning to sell some armors and equipment to the knights?”

Su Li reached out, pulled the dashing knight onto his lap, and kissed her spirited face forcefully, saying: ”That’s a must. Such a good opportunity; if we don’t seize the time to sell some armor and mounts, it would be a waste. Just as they’ve made a lot of money gambling; if I don’t collect some, that money would surely be wasted on indulgence. So I might as well take it back, develop our territory, and do something more meaningful.”

Hilude replied with a smile: ”Today, there are two things scheduled. The first is for you to understand other knights’ intelligence and strengths for the day’s competitions. The second is the summer planting in the territory, which the Minister of Agriculture, Vandar, hopes you’ll inspect.”

”However, these both aren’t urgent. If you, My Lord, have other plans, we can adjust at any time.”

Su Li decisively waved his hand: ”Let’s change the schedule. Just for today, I’m keen to focus on more pressing matters. You can handle the knights’ intelligence; I trust you, as my advisor, will provide perfect suggestions.”

”As for the territory’s planting work, let Vandar manage it. This is already the fifth planting season, and our Minister of Agriculture and department are long since well-versed; I shouldn’t need to oversee it step by step.”

”This summer, we just adjusted the direction of the Earth Vein Compass to [Forging Fire Resonance]; we still need to pay more attention to it.”

Hilude gently nodded and said: ”All shall adhere to your will, My Lord. I’ll assist the Minister of Agriculture in implementing this, as this summer planting is quite a challenge. We need to sow more Extraordinary Grain while facing the Radiant Competition Festival’s pressure. Many civilians and citizens are crowded into the city to watch the matches and haven’t returned to their villages.”
