"This..." After hearing this, all the nobles looked at Nalant with sacred eyes.
Sharing adversity is actually very easy and common.
But sharing wealth and honor is the real difficulty.
Moreover, they have now belonged to other empires, but Nalant still remembers them. This makes many nobles really feel that there is a sacred halo behind Nalant's good deeds.
"Narant, you don't have to be like this. You face many more enemies than we do, and you encounter more difficulties!"
"So, you might as well sell these weapons and equipment directly to other nobles of the Holy Continent, so that you can have more gold coins to develop and grow!" Culver reflected from his daze, and looked at Nalant with extremely soft eyes.
At this moment, he felt that he had really seen this boy correctly.
It's a pity that when this kid just emerged, the Glory Continent suffered an unprecedented catastrophe, otherwise he would have to reuse this kid.
"Yes! Baron Nalant, in fact, it is a waste to distribute your weapons to us. Our elite knights are still too weak compared to those knights in the Holy Continent!"
Several other great nobles also echoed, not politely, but very sincerely persuading.
"Marquis Culver, and several viscounts, you don't need to persuade me anymore. I have already made this decision!"
"In addition, you also know that I have many enemies and many difficulties now, so I am giving these weapons and equipment to you in the hope that you will grow quickly and have someone to help me when I am in trouble in the future!"
Narant waved his hands towards everyone.
"Then thank you Nalant!" When the nobles heard Nalant's straightforward words, not only did they not feel any discomfort, but they looked up to him even more.
Then, Narant asked his subordinates to pull more than ten carriages.
There are not many weapons and equipment, and each great noble can only equip a hundred extraordinary knights.
Only Culver and Bernard have more, with more than 300 sets of equipment.
Of course, don't think the quantity is small, because these are all inscribed weapons and equipment.
Although it was considered the lowest level of inscribed weapons and equipment, it was still a level worse than what his own subordinates were equipped with.
But if they were exchanged for gold coins, the weapons and equipment each person received would be worth no less than 10,000 gold coins.
The value of Culver and Bernard's weapons and equipment is naturally higher.
In fact, by gifting these weapons and equipment to the nobles of the Agate Principality, Nalant not only really wanted to make everyone stronger, but also to have a back-up for himself in the future.
Another deeper thought was that he was already planning to rescue Stella in advance.
If you want to get Stella back, you will definitely face a lot of opposition.
In this way, Nalant planned to form an alliance or even a principality before that.
And with his small population, it is definitely not enough to form a principality.
In this way, these nobles from the Glory Continent are the best candidates.
Of course, Nalant has not thought about becoming a king for the time being. After all, he is not sure whether these nobles will be willing to do so.
If that doesn't work then, it might be good to establish a federal country.
There is strength in numbers, this saying is actually somewhat useful in this world, at least it is better than fighting alone.
A group of nobles were assigned weapons and equipment, and Nalant invited everyone into the camp for a few drinks before sending them out of the camp.
After a group of nobles from the Glory Continent left, and seeing the sky getting dark, Nalant and his personal guards personally escorted Stella towards the fortress.
Stella still does not have complete freedom at this moment.
Although he brought several goddesses to the outside of the fortress in the afternoon.
But that was just because she hadn't seen Nalant and Bernard for more than a year.
And at this moment, they are in the Thorn Fortress. Therefore, under Stella's strong request, it is naturally impossible for the representatives of the nobles of the Holy Alliance to be so unkind.
In other words, it is impossible for her to not even agree to such a small request.
However, even though he agreed to let Stella go out of the fortress, she could also meet Nalant and Bernard.
But you must return before dark.
After returning, if Nalant and others want to see Stella in the future, they must proactively go to the fortress to search for her and obtain permission from the Alliance Council.
After sending Stella into the fortress, Nalant did not ask her to return to her residence immediately, but planned to wander around the city for a while.
When the group of guards who had been following Stella at a distance saw this, no one stepped forward to urge her.
After all, this was already within the fortress, and in addition to Nalant's face, everyone still gave in a little.
"Narant, where are you going?" On the way, Stella was a little curious when she saw Narant heading forward.
Although she has been coming to this Thorn Fortress for several days, she has not visited it yet.
"I heard that there is a shop specializing in selling yellow elves in this Thorn Fortress, so I'm going to check it out!"
"You want to buy a yellow elf?" Stella was a little surprised.
"That's right, Stella, in this sacred continent, there are more mines that we have never seen in the Glory Continent."
"For example, there is a mineral called magic crystal, which I am very scarce. I heard that if you want to mine this mineral, you must let the yellow elf devour something in the place where dark creatures die.
Then there is a certain probability of finding a magic crystal mineral deposit!"
"So, before I leave, I will buy a few more yellow elves. If I really encounter them then, I will make a profit!"
Narante smiled and explained.
"There is such a thing!" This was the first time Stella heard about this, and her eyes showed surprise.
Afterwards, the two of them walked through half of the fortress talking and laughing all the way, and finally stopped in a small square lined with shops.
This small square is the only commercial area of Thorn Fortress.
At this moment, the small square was different from the scene Nalant had originally imagined. It was surprisingly lively.
It can be said that it is packed with people.
When Nalant got closer, he realized that he was not the only one who came with the same mentality. The nobles in the square were also thinking about whether they would be lucky enough to obtain the mysterious substance during this expedition.
In this way, these nobles came to this small square to buy yellow elves.
"The yellow elf has three years left to live and can only recognize its master once. It is now on sale at a cheap price. It only costs 500 gold coins. If you need it, come and buy it quickly. If it is too late, it will be gone!"
"The yellow elf has a lifespan of eight years and only has one chance to recognize its master. It only costs 1,500 gold coins. Come and take a look if you need it!"
"Yellow elf..."
And similarly, there are many customers buying elves here, and there are also surprisingly many merchants selling elves.
It wasn't just one family that Narant originally inquired about.
However, although there were many merchants, the price of the yellow elf not only did not decrease, but was also a bit ridiculously high.
For example, a yellow elf with a lifespan of three years and only one last chance to recognize the host actually needs 500 gold coins!
"If this were in Glory Continent, five hundred gold coins would be enough to buy two or three yellow elves that are over six years old."
"Nalant, the yellow elves here are so expensive!"
Stella was even less familiar with the Holy Continent than Nalant. When she heard the shouting in front of her, her eyes widened immediately.
"Haha, guys like Stella are profiteers. They know that if you want to buy another yellow elf out of this door, there will be no place, so the price must be higher."
Nalant shook his head. If he hadn't gotten the news about the magic crystal mine a little late before the expedition, he would definitely not have rushed to buy it here.
After all, buying a yellow elf in this Thorn Fortress is like going to a scenic spot to eat and buy water in the previous life, and you don't have to be brutally slaughtered.
"What should I do? Narant, do you have enough gold coins? If not, I will send someone to my residence to get them now. I still have more than 3,000 gold coins!"
When Stella heard this, she immediately asked with concern.
"Stella, don't underestimate my fiancé, your fiancé is very rich now!"
When Nalant saw Stella's caring expression, his heart immediately warmed up.
"That's good!" Stella heard this and did not ask how much money Nalant had.
As long as she made sure that Nalant had enough gold coins to buy it, she would feel at ease.
Afterwards, Nalant took Stella and squeezed into the crowd.
In order to prevent Stella from being taken advantage of, Narant even held her in his arms "intimately".
With such a beauty in his arms, Narant's weirdness attracted the envious, jealous and hateful looks of many passers-by.
When Nalant saw these looks, he naturally repelled them without hesitation.
Immediately, Nalant walked past several stalls and shops selling yellow elves.
A total of more than 6,000 gold coins were spent on five yellow elves.
These yellow elves were selected by Narant to be in the best condition, and all of them can survive for more than seven years.
As for why Narant bought so many yellow elves at the same time, it was because he was wondering if he would be lucky enough to encounter two more of the mysterious substances that could cause the yellow elves to change.
Anyway, Naranti is not short of gold coins at the moment, so it would not be a loss to buy a few more.
It is worth mentioning that these elves are not only expensive, but their own mineral deposits are also low-value mineral deposits.
Such as stone mines, clay mines, etc.
After purchasing the elf and changing the elf's owner contract from the shop owner, Nalant sent Stella towards her residence.
Stella's residence at the moment is a small manor in the fortress. The manor is not large in area, but it is considered special in this fortress whose main purpose is military.
In this way, it can be seen that in order to tightly tie Stella, the empires did not dare to really abuse her.
"Narant, will you come back to see me tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!" He came to the door of the small manor where Stella lived.
The man and woman, who had not seen each other for more than a year, but only met for one afternoon and then separated again, suddenly became reluctant to part with each other.
Especially Stella's eyes, which were usually calm and rippled, were actually slightly red.
"Definitely Stella, not only will I come to see you tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, but I will also come to see you the day after tomorrow!" Nalant gently took Stella into his arms and looked towards her with pity.
A promise was made.
"Yes!" Stella nodded vigorously when she heard this.
"Remember to take good care of yourself, and be sure to wait for me to officially marry you in the future!"
"Yeah!" Stella nodded heavily again.
"Miss, you are back...ah, it's Lord Nalant!"
"Lina has met Lord Narante!"
But just when Stella was about to return, the little maid Lina heard the noise in the manor and immediately came outside to greet Stella.
However, Lina looked up and saw Narant again the next moment.
Suddenly, Lina's eyes burst into unprecedented surprise, and then she took three steps in succession and stepped forward directly.
"Lina, long time no see!" Nalant was naturally impressed by Lina.
"Baron Nalant, when will you come to take me and the lady back? The lady misses you every day!" After the surprise, Lina's eyes suddenly turned red again.
It’s such a June day, I can laugh if I want to, cry if I want to cry
"Nalant, don't listen to this girl's nonsense. It's obvious that she wants to live in your castle as soon as possible!" Stella's pretty face turned slightly red when she saw that her affair was revealed by her maid.
Then he glared at Lina fiercely and immediately pointed the finger at her.
"Haha, Lina, don't worry, I will definitely work hard to grow stronger and strive to marry your lady as soon as possible, and then you can live in my castle!"
"Well, Baron Nalant, you are so kind!"
Hearing this, Lina blushed pretty and nodded shyly.
"Narant, I'll go in first, please be careful on the road!"
After chatting for a while at the door, seeing that the sky was almost dark, and one of the guard captains was already feeling faintly unable to sit still, Stella said goodbye to Nalant.
"Okay, Stella!" Nalant waved his hand and then watched Stella enter the manor.
After Stella's figure disappeared from the manor building, Nalant stopped smiling and turned his head silently.
"In this expedition, I must destroy the dark creatures as much as possible and obtain enough energy points to strengthen myself!"
…
Time turned to two days later. Outside the Thorn Fortress, people started neighing and horses were neighing early in the morning, and the noise was overwhelming.
And today, it is finally the day for the Holy Alliance humans to go on an expedition.
Narant also woke up early today.
After being dressed and having breakfast under the service of Lilia's personal maid, he immediately rode the white dragon towards the gate of Thorn Fortress.
Before setting off, the president of the Alliance Council still needs to inform everyone about the follow-up plan arrangements.
Originally, a small baron like Nalant did not need to go. After all, he only needed to let the main noble representatives of these principalities and empires know.
But now it seems that Nalant has no immediate boss, and the Storm Territory is almost autonomous. Therefore, he, a little baron, has to go there in person to hear the arrangements for the expedition.
Soon, Nalant arrived outside the gate of Thorn Fortress.
At this moment, hundreds of nobles have gathered here densely, and they can be regarded as a prominent presence in the principalities and empires.
"Everyone, today we will open the gate of Thorn Fortress and officially embark on the journey."
"Now, I am here to tell you about the route of this expedition, which is to line up along all the principalities and empires, and then sweep all the way to the west!"
"As long as you encounter dark creatures wandering on the road, you must kill them!"
"As for the next stage, we will redistribute the attack route after we actually arrive outside the land of death!"
