Chapter 7 Wendy

This operation was mainly funded by the Harland family. Both the blood-red grass and the sleepy grass magic plants came from William, and the total cost was 400 gold coins.

According to the official exchange rate of the Kingdom of Grant, one gold coin can be exchanged for 12 silver coins, and one silver coin can be exchanged for 30 copper coins.

The monthly salary of ordinary people is about three to five silver coins.

The monthly salary of the Black River Fort defense force is only six silver coins. The ordinary soldiers of the Northern Army can only get a salary of one gold coin a month.

As the captain of the Northern Army, William commanded more than 1,600 soldiers, and his monthly salary was only eight gold coins. This investment was equivalent to William working in the Northern Army for four years.

The Harland family not only invested in the operation funds, but also sent three members. Even if Richard and Harden were burdens, Powell was indispensable in the operation.

If it weren't for him sensing danger several times, it would be difficult for everyone to walk out of the forest safely, so the Harland family was allocated nine iron-horned horses.

According to the normal market price, an adult second-level iron-horned horse costs about 90 to 150 gold coins. The price of a second-level mare that can be used for breeding is even higher, and can be sold for more than 180 gold coins.

The price of a first-level mare is about 80 gold coins, and the price of a pony ranges from 40 to 60 gold coins.

A first-level stallion is considered an inferior horse and is slightly more expensive than a pony.

If it is in Nolan, the capital of the Grant Kingdom, because the royal iron-horned horse herd is large in size and can be sold steadily every year, the price is slightly cheaper.

If it is in the northern border, there are many losses due to wars and monsters all year round. Although wild monsters can often be captured, the price is a bit more expensive.

The iron-horned horse herd captured this time includes four stallions, four mares, and five ponies, two of which are almost adults.

According to gold coins, the total is about 1,200 gold coins.

Roland got the strongest stallion, which is worth 150 gold coins.

The Soros family received two second-level stallions and one second-level mare, worth about 420 gold coins.

Although the Harland family received more than 600 gold coins in spoils, after deducting the 400 gold coins invested, the net income was only slightly higher than Roland's.

The Dark family invested the most powerful combat force in this operation, and Kent was the first person to discover the iron-horned horse herd, so the net profit could be divided more.

"The horses are divided up like this. The weapons of the snake-bodied people are not valuable. The iron materials add up to less than 50 kilograms, which is worth only two or three gold coins. They are temporarily stored in the warehouse.

The scales that are stripped off can be used to make low-level enchanted armor, which is more or less worth a sum of money. I plan to find Tarak to see how many scales I can make. After success, everyone will share one.

The heads of the snake-bodied people can be used to accumulate military merits. Each head will be recorded with three small merits. I plan to give them to Richard. After he joins the Crazy Lion Legion, he can use his merits to exchange for breathing methods and advance to a professional as soon as possible, which can save a lot of time. I will definitely return these four snake-bodied people's heads after a while."

In the Kingdom of Grant, military merits are more valuable than gold coins.

Military merits mean political status and can be exchanged for resources needed for professional cultivation, which is difficult to buy with money.

Especially for professionals who want to become hereditary nobles, the most important difficulty is to accumulate military merits.

According to the noble laws of the Kingdom of Grant, accumulating a great merit is enough to obtain the king's title, become a hereditary noble of the kingdom, and complete the class leap.

Ten small merits can be exchanged for one medium merit, ten medium merits can be exchanged for one great merit, and ten great merits can be exchanged for one extraordinary merit.

In other words, if you kill about 333 snake-bodied professionals, you can become a hereditary baron of the kingdom.

William has been fighting in the North for more than 20 years and has participated in six orc invasions, but he has only accumulated four great merits and six medium merits, which is less than half of the merits required to become a hereditary baron.

After listening to William's words, Soros and Roland did not hesitate. The three families are all in-laws and have cooperated many times in the war, and have accumulated deep trust.

William saved the life of the previous Baron Dark in the war, and Soros also took the risk to help William in the crisis.

The three families supported each other in the North, and the friendly relationship lasted for 20 years.

After dividing the spoils, Richard and Hayden brothers rested for a while in Black River Castle.

Black River Castle is the focus of the empire's operations in the North. In addition to the main castle, there are seven fortresses and military camps near it.

All these castles are connected by high walls. Richard roughly estimated that they cover more than ten square kilometers in total.

Outside the city wall, many houses and courtyards were built.

The mercenary group under Soros lived outside the city wall.

In the early morning, the soft sunlight shone through the window and fell on the bed.

Rubbing his tired eyes, Richard sat up. After living in the Knight Academy for three years, he was a little unfamiliar with everything at home.

This year, William built more than a dozen houses and bought his neighbor's courtyard last year. His family already has dozens of houses in Black River Castle.

Second uncle Powell has moved out for many years, and third uncle Bernie lives with William. Bernie is already a third-level warrior and serves in the Northern Legion. He is the squadron leader under William.

William married three wives and raised eight children.

Hayden ranked third and Richard ranked fourth.

The eldest brother Ron is already 25 years old. Like Richard, he is also a high-level warrior student and is not far from an advanced professional.

Ron serves in the Crazy Lion Legion as a squad leader.

The second brother, Barron, is 23 years old and has better talent. He is already a first-level professional and serves in the Grizzli Legion as the deputy captain of an infantry squadron.

Ron and Barron were the children of William's first wife, and their relationship with Richard and Hayden was not close. When Richard traveled through time, the two brothers were already living in the Knight Academy, and they only got to know each other for more than ten days a year.

"Richard, I heard that you went deep into the Eagle Mountains this time and encountered the Earth Dragon Beast along the way and killed the Snake Man. Please tell me about it."

Richard just walked out of the room and met his sister Wendy.

Wendy is Richard's younger sister. She has a different personality from Richard. She is very active. She chatters all day long. At the age of fourteen, she has no scheming thoughts and is very curious.

Women have a very high status in the Dawn Plane. There were female legendary wizards in ancient times. There were also female gods in the Age of the Seven Gods. The most powerful God of Dawn among the Seven Gods was also a goddess.

Even now, there are many women among high-level professionals, and women among nobles also have the right to inherit.

Wendy does not have the bloodline of an awakened knight, and her physical talent is average.

But she has a strong learning ability, has a photographic memory, and is usually very studious. She is also more energetic than the average person. She is just fourteen years old and has graduated from a missionary school ahead of schedule.

The nobles of Dawn Continent are very stingy about the spread of knowledge. The northern territory directly under the royal family has a population of more than hundreds of thousands and does not have a single library.

The mission school is also very small, with a total of just over a hundred students.

Noble education relied on tutors.

The professional class mainly relies on the Knight Academy.

In mission schools, more students come from the urban class, the knowledge taught is relatively simple, and the tuition is the cheapest.

Although William's salary is generous, the family also has other industries. Six houses near the street can be rented out, and the family also runs a hotel.

Mrs. Olla also ran a bakery and a tailor shop. There is also a water mill outside the castle. Adding up all the miscellaneous things, the income is more than William's salary.

But there are many family members, and every professional needs money to advance.

William would not invest resources in cultivating a child like Wendy who had no talent as a warrior. Her only role in the family is to create marriages and expand the Harland family's network.

"Hayden is such a loudmouth! Wendy, you are too curious. I have to talk to my father and I don't have time today."

Richard patted his head and felt a little annoyed. Wendy would not let him go without explaining the details clearly.

Wendy has a very high IQ and is not easy to fool. If she is entangled, she may be entangled for a long time.
