Farming with Entries: From Lord to Emperor Chapter 2 - 1: Bloody Decree (Part 2)

"Enchantnt attribute?"

Luo De imdiately checked the great sword in his hand, and text information appeared before his eyes,

[Na: Refined Steel Great Sword]

[Grade: Green Excellent]

[Enchantnt: Refined Edge]

It really is an enchantnt attribute!

Although this is a fantasy world, adding special effects to weapons and armor often requires special materials.

But the steel used to forge this sword is just ordinary iron!

Luo De was surprised, and imdiately had the blacksmith bring a piece of plate armor to test.

Plate armor is a type of heavy armor, forged from steel plates, thick and resilient, the best protective equipnt, a regular sword can’t penetrate it at all.

Luo De lifted the steel sword and slashed down without hesitation.

Screech——

The piercing sound of tal cutting rang, the broken plate armor clattered to the ground!

The blacksmith exclaid, "My plate armor!", clutching his head in disbelief!

Luo De stared at the neat cut, also stunned.

The refined edge is actually this terrifying!

The plate armor was cut in half, so how could chain armor or leather armor hold against it?

The attribute is indeed powerful!

Now opening a blacksmith shop won’t starve !

Luo De imdiately checked the next forging attribute, coincidentally, it was to establish a blacksmith shop in the territory.

"Is this sword you made?"

Just as Luo De was fantasizing, a middle-aged knight walked over.

The knight’s na was Durant Silver Blade, wearing chain armor, with a single-handed longsword hanging at his waist.

Durant was already forty-five years old, with deep wrinkles on his face, yet he still possessed a stable aura and sharp gaze, without a hint of decadence.

He once was the chief knight under the Earl of the Tulip.

Seventeen years ago, he lost his left hand in war, thus losing the title of chief knight, becoming a guard instructor.

If not for this, the Earl of the Tulip would not have granted this experienced and wise knight to Luo De.

As a knight, Durant was imdiately drawn to the refined steel great sword.

Luo De sensed his gaze and handed the sword over,

"Want to try it?"

"Hmm, thank you."

Durant took the longsword, instinctively wanting to strike the plate armor on the rack but was stopped by the blacksmith, so he tested on the scrap beside.

The steel sword ca down, and the one-inch thick scrap split in two instantly.

Upon checking the blade, it remained as clean as new, with no chips or breaks.

"I’ve never seen such a sharp sword, I’m afraid only a weapon forged by legendary dwarves could compare to it?"

Durant looked at the neat cut of the scrap, filled with shock and doubt.

The Lord Baron in front of him surprisingly possesses such superior sword forging skills, who on earth taught him?

Could it be his deceased mother had dwarf blood?

Many thoughts flashed through Durant’s mind, but he couldn’t ask his lord, he could only suppress his curiosity and returned the sword to Luo De.

No matter what, it’s a good thing that in the resource-rich Northern Territory, his lord possesses such superior forging skills.

Luo De received the steel sword single-handedly, calmly saying, "When we get to Black Pine Ridge, I’ll make you a sword like this steel sword too."

Luo De hadn’t imagined that his initial work would be so successful, and thus he chose materials intending to make a two-handed great sword for himself.

That’s why this steel sword weighs twelve pounds, unsuitable for Durant to use single-handedly.

Even though Durant is a knight practicing the cultivation breathing technique, this steel sword would still impede Durant’s agility.

But to Luo De, who has the "Forging Power" boost, the twelve-pound heavy sword is just right.

"Thank you for your generosity."

Durant bowed and thanked him.

No knight could refuse such a refined steel longsword comparable to dwarf-made ones, and Durant also looked forward to owning one.

But now it’s just Luo De’s promise, and none can predict what the future holds.

Forty-five-year-old Durant was more focused on the present.

"The snow in the desert has lted, the hired guard team is ready too, we can set out at any ti."

Durant spoke with a hint of worry, "It’s just that, selling all your supplies leaving only half a month’s worth of dried food and jerky, isn’t that too risky?

Although it’s only a seven-day journey to Black Pine Ridge, your territory may not have surplus food so close to the early spring month."

Durant’s concerns were sothing Luo De had already considered, he slightly raised the corner of his mouth and retorted,

"Didn’t I ask you to find out which rchant caravans are going to Black Pine Ridge recently?"

"Yes, I checked, three rchant caravans will be passing through Black Pine Ridge soon, the nearest Golden Sand Trading Team departs tomorrow."

"I rember the Golden Sand Trading Team."

Luo De nodded,

"Then let’s also set off tomorrow, just follow behind the Golden Sand Trading Team."

All of Luo De’s attributes are related to the territory, staying in the border city no longer serves a purpose.

After selling off the supplies, all that was left were horses, each carrying bags of food, ready to depart anyti.

It’s for the sake of flexibility and mobility that Luo De decided to travel light, not even purchasing female slaves or cooks.

"Are you planning to buy food supplies from the rchant caravans? That could cost two to three tis more than here in the border city."

Durant’s estimation was conservative.

The caravans spend gold coins to hire guard teams and transport food into the desert at the risk of being looted by robbers, often raising prices five to ten tis.

"Buy?"

Luo De gave a cold smile, walked over to Durant, and lowered his voice,

"Don’t those rchants need to pay taxes for doing business at Black Pine Ridge?"

"You an..."

"As the lord, I can have those rchants pre-pay taxes."

Luo De had long had a plan, collecting taxes was much faster than buying.

Durant suddenly understood.

As the lord of Black Pine Ridge, everything at Black Pine Ridge belonged to Luo De, even a bird perched on a tree.
