Becoming a full-fledged knight, which seemed difficult to others, was actually not that difficult in Krober's eyes. The most difficult thing for him now was that he did not have a breathing method with suitable attributes to help him break through.
The breathing method of old Knight Foster is of wind attribute, the breathing method of the Oat Family is of water attribute, and the breathing method of his mother's family, the Golden Rose Family, is of gold attribute. It is estimated that he inherited the attributes of his mother's family.
Although the Golden Rose Family is very close to me and has always provided me with cultivation resources, I guess even if I ask for the breathing method, the Golden Rose Family will not give it to me.
After all, he still bears the surname of the Oat family and is still a member of this family.
As long as he still has this surname, the Golden Rose Family will definitely not provide him with a low-level gold-attributed breathing method for free.
If I were adopted into the Golden Rose family, not only would they teach me the low-level breathing techniques, they might even teach me the intermediate breathing techniques within the family.
Krober never questioned his grandfather's preference for him. After all, in this world where profit is paramount, the fact that he could have the authority to deliver cultivation resources to him day after day for more than ten years already demonstrated his importance in the eyes of the Golden Rose Family.
Perhaps at the beginning it was out of affection for his biological mother Lilith, but later on he was attracted by Krober's own talent and made the investment.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about these things anymore. I'd better prepare for the next war."
As he spoke, Krober took out all the wealth he had accumulated.
Since Krober was promoted to a low-level attendant at the age of nine, he began to participate in the military operations of the territory, from suppressing bandits to escorting and then to being a mercenary. In these six years, he accumulated a total of 124 gold coins and 72 silver coins.
This is not a small amount of money. You have to know that a normal family of three only spends thirty silver coins a year if they only eat black bread for every meal.
And Krober's savings could allow them to eat black bread for four hundred years without starving to death.
This is also a manifestation of the excessive value of iron in this world.
Since all the metals in this world are produced by dragons, the price of metal has always been high. The ironware owned by a large barony in Deepwater is just a few knight swords, a set of heavy steel armor and a few iron spearheads.
A few years ago, when he had just broken through to the rank of senior attendant, Krober led a small team to suppress bandits. Unexpectedly, he found an iron dagger on the leader.
Without thinking, Krober put the dagger in his bag. After all, he was the one who killed the bandit leader, and according to convention, the spoils should belong to him.
With the dagger, Krober found the only blacksmith shop in Moonlight City and sold it for a huge sum of nearly thirty gold coins.
This is just a dagger. If it were a knight's sword, it would probably be sold at a sky-high price of hundreds of gold coins.
But I heard from the traveling merchants who stopped by the tavern at that time that metal was ridiculously expensive only in rural places like Waterdeep. In the territories of the great nobles, although metal was still precious, a dagger would not be sold at the exorbitant price of thirty gold coins.
The purchasing power of Krober's 124 gold coins and 72 silver coins is still very strong.
He planned to buy himself a warhorse to ride and a knight's sword first. If there was any left, he would buy himself a set of leather armor. If the budget was not enough, he could only sew a simple set of armor with the fur of monsters.
In this mineral-scarce world, lower-class nobles or soldiers like Krober generally wore leather armor made of monster fur.
The durability of leather armor is still very good. At least it can defend against some stray arrows and can ensure some basic defense.
It was naturally impossible for Krober to purchase equipment from Deepwater Territory. He planned to go with Foster to Moonlight City, the richest city in this land, to make purchases.
It is the seat of Earl Stephen's government and also the richest place in the entire earldom. It is also one of the few places where iron weapons are sold.
So after a night of rest, Krober took Foster on the road to Moonlight City early in the morning.
Earl Stephen's territory is located in the southwest of the entire principality. Although it is relatively remote, due to its proximity to the Moy Forest, the entire territory is not short of cultivation resources. Lucky people often find lone monster cubs or even some wild elf insects in the Moy Forest.
That’s right, there are wild species of elf bugs.
After investigating the birth of the elf insect, magicians speculated that it was a self-evolution phenomenon caused by the plant reaching a certain growth limit and actively communicating with the free magical elements between heaven and earth due to some evolutionary mechanism of its own.
The Moi Forest is rich in magical elements, has many plants, and has fertile soil. The probability of the birth of elf insects is much higher than that of artificial cultivation by some ignorant guys.
This is also one of the reasons why the Principality insists on marching westward to the Moi Forest every ten years. The Moi Forest is really too tempting and people can't resist.
It is said that when the country was first founded, the Grand Duke rode a golden dragon into the forest to explore, but there were terrifying creatures in the depths of the forest that could injure dragons.
No one knows what that creature is. It could be a powerful mythical beast or some other kind of dragon.
However, Krober was more inclined to believe that it was some kind of powerful mythical beast, because dragons were extremely rare creatures. Once traces of dragons appeared in a certain place, several dragon knights of the kingdom would descend on that place.
If you can tame it and make it serve the kingdom, that would be even better. If not, you can kill it and generate a large amount of resources for the kingdom.
