In front of the Alchemy Spire shop, the crowd was moving.

"Young master, the store has been arranged. Several of them have always been smart and capable young men, and the goods are also arranged according to your instructions!"

The butler Cod has been very idle these days. Seeing that William was busy with all the big and small things in the territory during this period, Donald asked Cod to be responsible for opening a shop.

"Open the door!"

Donald looked at the adventurers and mercenaries gathered outside the door, waved his hand and ordered the shi to open the door.

More than thirty adventurers first rushed into the store with excitement. This was because of the shock of Donald, the powerful mage lord, or the fighting would have been started with these adventurers.

Mercenaries have much better discipline than adventurers, and can also restrain themselves from maintaining their formation.

"Everyone, my promise is only valid for the first three days of opening, so if you encounter your favorite items, please buy them as soon as possible!"

"Lord!" "Thank you for your generosity!"

Looking at the dazzling array of goods, adventurers and mercenaries couldn't help but walk towards the area they were interested in, looking for the items they wanted.

According to the business philosophy of his previous life, Donald ordered people to have price tags on all goods, and for these adventurers and mercenaries, they were sold at half price.

In fact, even half price is not the cost price. Donald can still make a lot of money, but it is already an extremely cheap price for them. Adventurers all use their savings to choose the items they like the most and can make the most money.

And Donald, the shop owner, left the shop early.

The reason why the store is opened in the territory rather than a systematic commercial developed area like the Giant Rock City and the Sheungjin Town is to regain the popularity of its own territory.

With moonlight wine and black tea, Dalaran is already a little famous in the North County and even the Kingdom, but these can only attract some merchants. The nobles have a noble status and most of them will not come to the most remote wilderness in the North County. So Donald took advantage of the situation to launch the Alchemy Fire to further enhance the reputation of the territory.

From weapons and armor, adventure equipment, to potions and bandages, compressed dry food, Donald's shop, most of them are produced in his book of truth. The rest are produced by Donald in the workshops opened in the town and hired the town residents, which can not only replenish goods for the shops, but also enable the leaders to obtain a job of supporting their families. It can be said to be a win-win deal.

However, currently, the Alchemy Fire is sold in some low-level items. Apart from the two treasures of the store, there are no more than the medium-level magic items assessed by the Book of Truth.

This is Donald's fear of being discovered by the mages and causing suspicion. After all, he is just the strength of a bronze mage, and some high-level items cannot be refined for the time being.

But these are already good equipment that can be sought after by the bottom adventurers.

In addition to selling equipment and props, Donald also purchases various materials at a high price. Donald, who is worth a lot of money, doesn't have to worry about the little profits like those merchants. Because the purchase price given by Alchemy Fire is the most expensive, it is certain that in the future, many adventurers will choose to sell their harvests to Alchemy Fire shop, which will allow Donald to add a source of his own materials to obtain.

Half a month after the ogre tribe was wiped out, Donald responded to the proposal submitted to the noble parliament. The royal family members were happy with a newly opened knight territory because it meant that the territory of the Kingdom of Celtic had expanded to a certain extent after decades, and one more person provided them with taxes every year.

The royal members and the great nobles who controlled the nobles' parliament all agreed, and the instruction of His Majesty the Queen behind them was instructed, and even if a few people opposed it, it would be useless.

Soon, Uther would be named the first noble retainer under Donald and a hereditary knight who controlled the territory. This happy event greatly exterminated the work enthusiasm of other subordinates.

Although there can be only one lord in one territory, the lack of other aristocratic management classes is not beneficial to the development of the territory. Therefore, as long as there is a chance, Donald will not be stingy and reward his subordinates with the status and status, because this will enable them to have strong cohesion to the territory and become more loyal to themselves.

Although the Kingdom of Celtic was founded for hundreds of years, it is still young among the countries on the mainland. The development of the North has lasted for hundreds of years and has not been completely occupied so far.

As Beijun, which is separated from the Ice Plateau and the Great Snow Mountains, this dangerous land with a large area of ​​​​area but with many monsters is still waiting for human development.

When the North County was opened, Celtic VII led the army of the kingdom to wipe out ogres, wild goblins, scattered wandering orcs and werewolf tribes, and drove a local highlander tribe from the northern part to the other side of the Izumo Mountains, where the hometown of the highlanders was.

Now there must be some monsters like ogres and wild goblins hiding in the gap between the Green Cloak Forest and the Izumo Mountains, always preparing to strengthen their tribes, then counterattack humans, and regain the land home they once lived in.

However, because the vast forests and mountains have complex and changing terrain and the threat of monsters exist, the land has not advanced northward for more than a hundred years. Therefore, the situation of these semi-wise indigenous races invading human territory has not happened once. At most, adventurers went deep into the forest and suddenly encountered attacks from these monsters, and people only knew that the North County still had their existence.

Although Donald's territory is vast, the actual available land is only equivalent to a normal baron in a plain area. If the area of ​​forests and mountains is included, it can be compared to a large territory that has established a city where tens of thousands of people live, probably the size of a county on the mainland.

However, because the terrain around Dalaran is relatively complex, the south of the forest is blocked by the rock city, and the only road to the outside world in the southeast must pass through the Red Maple Baron. Unless it is necessary to annex the territory of other nobles, it is impossible to extend outward in these two directions.

But to the north of Dalaran, there is the Izumo Mountains that extend most of the Beijun border line and the green cloak forest below it. The other end of the mountain is the snow-capped mountains and the cold frozen plateau where people and animals are extinct and birds are hard to cross. This situation is equivalent to trapping the Dalaran territory in this area and unable to develop outward.

For other nobles, the construction of territory may have ended here, but for Donald, who has the Book of Truth and has infinite possibilities, it is only a matter of time before it expands outward.

Let’s not talk about the Beijun side. As long as you have strong strength, no matter the threat of monsters from the Green Cloak Forest and the Izumo Mountains, or the severe cold danger of the Great Snow Mountains and the frozen plateau, it will not stop Donald from expanding northward.

According to one of the sacred nobles conventions signed by the countries of the mainland and the Church of the Gods a thousand years ago, no matter which kingdom aristocrat is under, as long as he can expand his territory to areas that are not his own territory, the land he occupied except one tenth of would be contributed to the royal family of his own or replaced by money, all other lands belong to the territory owned by the pioneers themselves. This convention is jointly protected by the royal family of all kings and the church of the gods, and is permanently valid and sacred and inviolable.

It was because of the provisions in this holy convention that greatly encouraged the nobles to expand outwardly, and of course they also brought a lot of benefits to the royal families of various countries.

With this prerequisite, Donald knew that as long as he accumulated his own strength, he could defeat as much territory as he wanted.

However, the territory is sparsely populated, and Donald has no plans to expand north yet.

If Donald wants to explore north, the alien races in the forests and mountains are the biggest obstacles. Warcraft are just resources and prey, while wise indigenous creatures are a threat.

The threat to the territory before was ogres, and some were kowtows enslaved by ogres, so it should not be a problem.

In the future, you may face other more powerful alien creatures, so you have to make plans in advance.

If you rely solely on the armed forces in the territory, there is no problem in passive defense and take the initiative to attack, it will easily cause personnel losses.

However, this is not a solution. If you use summoned creatures in large quantities, you can clear the threats. However, the consumption of magic cores in this way is too huge. Even if he has enough wealth to acquire magic cores, there may not be so many magic beasts for him to slaughter. If you hunt monsters on a large scale to acquire magic cores, in a few years, once the Green Cloak Forest and even the low-level magic beasts outside the Izumo Mountains disappear on a large scale, it will be enough to affect the biological chain of the entire area, and even cause some high-level magic beasts deep in the forest and mountainous areas to leave the territory to hunt food and invade human territory. That is not what Donald wants to see.

Of course, you can also consume the power of spiritual and elemental crystal energy to summon, which can save more than 80% of the system.

However, the power of spiritual Hun is rare, and it is impossible to buy even if you have money. After summoning Kelthas and two griffins, there is not much left. Opportunities like the orc invasion before are hard to come by. The power of spiritual Hun can summon permanent creatures, and it is undoubtedly a shameful waste to consume it in this temporary summoning!

Therefore, he will not cause such waste unless it is absolutely necessary.

Therefore, Donald thought about it and found a solution to the problem, which was to establish an organization similar to the adventurer union, pay a reward, and recruit some professionals to solve the ogre problem.
