Various vivid and lifelike magnificent sceneries were painted on it.
Rose-shaped colored windows blood wantonly, exuding a dim and mysterious aura, making one can’t help but take a second look.
The road was exceptionally spacious, and Lear rode in directly on the Swamp Giant-Horned Deer King.
The slave market consisted mainly of fixed shops, with iron cages stacked at the entrances.
Inside, slaves were displayed for sale.
Beastn, dwarves, half-elves, harpies, hippopotamus-n, minotaurs... The diversity of races was difficult to count.
The slave market only prohibited carriages, not ordinary mounts.
But the crowd was bustling, making it lively and crowded.
The sounds of bargaining filled the air like in a vegetable market.
After wandering for a while, Lear suddenly thought of the place where he had previously purchased Wetland Lizard-n — the Dragon Fang Trading Company.
That chubby rchant with a kindly smile left a deep impression on him.
Following his mory, after circling around, he stopped in front of the Dragon Fang Trading Company.
With Blando, his tool-man, he dismounted, leaving the Swamp Giant-Horned Deer King and the Unicorn at the entrance.
At this mont, a rchant with a smiling face, looking kind and sporting a big belly, ca out to greet them.
The mist covering Lear’s face dissipated at this mont.
The mont the other party saw his face, he was first stunned, then surprised and delighted.
"Li... Lord Lear?"
Lear smiled gladly.
"Chairman Macken, long ti no see."
The other party imdiately burst into great enthusiasm.
"Lord Lear, welco to your visit!!"
"It’s been almost four months since we last t!"
"Praise the goddess, you have returned safely..."
"Quick, bring out my best Elf Clear Tea... I must entertain our distinguished guest!"
Macken hadn’t anticipated Lear would return to Lorand City so quickly.
When he left last ti, it was to go to the Wilderness to pioneer... and he even purchased two squadrons of Wetland Lizard-n.
He still clearly rembered those ferocious beings, so fierce that even the Ring of Enslavent couldn’t suppress them, yet they were as docile as lambs in front of the other party.
This left a deep impression on him.
More crucially... the gold coins used by the other party to purchase the Wetland Lizard-n were a gift from the Princess of Lorand City!
This was a Pioneer Lord with a powerful background!
Now it seed... the initial speculation was indeed correct.
Glancing at the Swamp Giant-Horned Deer King parked at the entrance, Macken didn’t delve deep; a single mount, though remarkable, wasn’t enough to move him.
What amazed him was the other party’s deanor... compared to a few months ago, it had undergone a world-changing transformation.
Iron-blooded, calm, murderously solemn, with wisdom firmly in hand.
Every move exuded an aura of an upper position that captivated people’s hearts.
External things were always external, could be acquired by chance, could be granted by elders... the inner nature was the core essence of this person.
Macken led Lear to the drawing room.
After sitting down, he was filled with amazent.
"Lord Lear, I need not ask to know, these past tis, you must have experienced storms unimaginable to outsiders."
"I’m very glad to see you again."
"Can you tell how the Dragon Fang Trading Company can serve you?"
Lear smiled.
Doing business with such a sharp-minded person was indeed comfortable.
"I need to purchase a batch of slaves... do you still have Wetland Lizard-n?"
"Wetland Lizard-n? How many do you need?"
Lear raised a hand.
Macken’s face lit up with joy.
"5 squadrons?"
That would be quite a sizable deal.
"5 battalions."
Gulp~
Macken imdiately swallowed, his eyes becoming exceptionally bright.
"My lord, are you planning to form an expeditionary army?"
For a lord who went into the Wilderness to pioneer a few months ago, an army of 5,000 is quite exaggerated.
The daily food consumption alone is astronomical, not to ntion the need for sufficient weapons, armor, and adequate logistical support.
Expanding the army so much at once is sothing even seasoned Pioneer Lords can’t withstand!
