Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Beginning Preparations

Choosing the Lawrence Clan, on one hand, is because they are extremely close to the mine, only twenty or thirty miles away. As time goes on, it’s inevitable that they will discover something unusual. On the other hand, they are both strong enough and weak enough.

Yes, strong enough and weak enough.

The strength comes from the fact that the Lawrence Clan is currently one of the thirty or so remaining barons in the Northern Province, and his strength is unquestionable. Having developed for nearly twenty years, he holds a slightly superior position throughout the Maine River Valley. If the Lawrence Clan can be subdued, there will be no more issues with the pioneer lords throughout the entire Maine River Valley.

Even those two nobles are the same.

Weak enough because, as far as he knows, the Lawrence Territory currently only has a little over a hundred Apprentice Knights, thirty-some Official Knights, and merely one Great Knight.

With such strength,

it seems like the best choice.

At least better suited than that fool Emerson.

Having made up his mind,

Thor didn’t hesitate any longer.

Soon after, he summoned Reine.

And began to give instructions.

In the following days, large quantities of Black Iron Armor started being transported over.

Undoubtedly more than before.

By the end of the month,

when Rajos Assad arrived,

he was undoubtedly shocked by the scene before him.

"My friend, you, you’re not joking, are you!"

"Gulp!"

Rajos Assad couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, his breathing becoming heavy.

This trading route opened up a new world for him and showed him endless business opportunities. Just with one business trip, his profit exceeded five hundred gold coins. Even though Thor demanded seventy percent, he was still extremely excited.

Yet he didn’t expect this kind of excitement to continue spreading, and this visit undoubtedly came with a greater surprise.

Thor not only had the hundred sets of Black Iron Armor he promised, but also an additional hundred sets, and more crucially, among them were three sets of Silver Armor.

Silver Armor, that’s Silver Armor.

Thinking about the current craze for Silver Armor, Rajos only felt his breath growing heavier.

"Two hundred sets of Black Iron Armor, three sets of Silver Armor!"

"All of these can be sold by you, but I have a condition that I need you to fulfill."

Thor’s gentle voice echoed.

"My friend, say it!"

"I will definitely do it."

Rajos Assad spoke eagerly, almost unable to contain himself.

This isn’t a joke; these two hundred sets of Black Iron Armor and three sets of Silver Armor mean he doesn’t need to consider anything else.

Moreover, an unavoidable guess emerged in Rajos’s mind, quickly quelled.

"I need it!"

Thor made a gesture, and Rajos Assad quickly moved forward.

Then Thor began to slowly recount his plan.

"My friend, you, are you serious!"

Listening to Thor, Rajos Assad’s eyes widened again, looking at Thor with disbelief, speaking cautiously.

What did he just hear?

Thor wants him to reveal to Baron Lawrence that he possesses a large iron ore deposit and has even secured a band of goblins.

He wondered if he was crazy,

or if it was Thor who was mad.

This was simply unimaginable and completely incomprehensible to him.

"Of course, it’s true!"

"Just follow my instructions!"

Thor said with a smile.

"I understand!"

Rajos Assad looked deeply at Thor, then nodded in agreement.

Inside, he couldn’t suppress a surge of excitement.

He wasn’t a fool, nor did he believe Thor was; there must be a reason for doing this.

Even a bold idea popped into his mind uncontrollably.

However, it was quickly suppressed.

He looked deeply at Thor once again.

He only felt Thor becoming more mysterious.

"My friend, let’s pause the business and enjoy a sumptuous lunch."

Thor said with a light laugh and then pulled Rajos Assad into the banquet.

The next day.

Rajos Assad left Eagle Ridge with a large amount of supplies, heading towards various territories.

With the experience of his first visit, his arrival this time undoubtedly received great attention from the lords.

However, this time, Rajos did not sell the Silver Armor but only the Black Iron Armor.

In fact, he only sold a hundred sets.

The rest he kept with him.

Until his caravan arrived at Baron Lawrence’s territory.

"Oh, my friend!"

"Rajos Assad, it’s an honor to have you here."

When he saw Rajos, Pape Lawrence approached with a smile and gave a hug.

Rajos also hugged Pape Lawrence back.

Moments later, the two separated.

"Baron Lawrence, see what I brought you this time?"

"You’ll surely be satisfied!"

Rajos Assad spoke with excitement.

"Oh, could it be the Silver Armor crafted by goblins?"

Pape Lawrence’s eyes lit up, speaking with anticipation.

"You guessed right, Baron Pape Lawrence, three pieces, three entire pieces crafted by goblins, under the Goddess of Life’s blessing. Earlier, those lords offered four hundred gold coins, but I kept them for myself."

"Because we are friends."

Rajos Assad said in an exaggerated tone.

"Hahahaha, truly surprising!"

"Indeed, we are friends!"

"Lord Rajos, I’ve prepared a sumptuous dinner."

With eyes shining, Pape Lawrence also had a smile on his face as he spoke.

Recently, he had targeted a territory of minotaurs, needing a large amount of armor and weapons. Purchasing from Loren City was too expensive. He was about to grit his teeth and make the purchase when, unexpectedly, Rajos arrived a month ago, bringing him twenty sets of Black Iron Armor, which not only had affordable prices but were also of high quality.

The only regret was not being able to get a piece of Silver Armor.

This gave him some hope.

He paused his actions, waiting to see if Rajos could bring more such armor.

While he waited, no one expected the surprise to come so quickly.

In less than a month, Rajos returned, this time delivering two hundred sets of Iron Armor and three sets of Silver Armor. My gosh, three sets of Silver Armor, he couldn’t contain himself anymore.
