The divine card Sean mentioned is not [Dragon Egg], but another card.

When Sean first saw [Dragon Egg], he thought it was a divine card, because the description of [Dragon Egg] is "Every time it receives damage, a baby dragon will be summoned."

Then Sean was thinking, if he summoned the [Dragon Egg] and poked it gently every second (receiving damage), would there be many baby dragons born?

But then I thought about it, this is a real world after all, and the system will most likely change the special effects of this card after Sean is summoned.

For example, the card [Elf]'s accelerated plant growth special effects and self-destruction special effects were added after being magically modified by the system, so [Dragon Egg] is unlikely to give birth to many baby dragons, and the probability of summoning it is just an ordinary one.

The only value of dragon eggs is the money they sell for.

It is not impossible to summon [Dragon Egg] and sell it for money, but if summoning it takes up a precious follower summoning slot, Sean thinks this is unacceptable.

The divine card that Sean discovered was not [Dragon Egg] but another one - [Dwarf Marksman].

【Dwarf Marksman】

Quality: ordinary

1 fee 1/3

Your hero power can target minions.

Race: Dwarf

Card description: Scissors, flying knives, steel needles, whatever you like he can hit.

Although this card looks ordinary on the surface, and Sean has no hero skills and cannot trigger its special effects.

But the focus of Sean's attention is on the musket, the weapon of the dwarf marksman in this card.

This is what Sean hopes for most.

...

After learning about the power of the Magic Legion in the library, Sean had no intention of studying weapons such as muskets and artillery.

The most important reason is that Sean was just an ordinary architectural designer in his previous life, and he did not have that much knowledge reserve to manufacture muskets and artillery.

In the past, Sean's idea was to recruit a large number of black iron-level and bronze-level warriors to form an army to defend the territory after getting money, but now after seeing the card [Dwarf Marksman], Sean changed his mind.

After summoning the dwarf marksman, Sean got the weapon in his hand-the musket.

With this musket, Sean can think of ways to mass-produce it.

If the human blacksmith cannot support the mass production of muskets, then Sean can use the spirit brewing method as a condition to recruit top dwarf blacksmiths.

If an ordinary person holding a musket can compete with a black iron-level archer, producing a hundred muskets is equivalent to a hundred black iron-level archers.

After producing a large number of muskets, the territorial strength will increase significantly!

Not only that, the card [Dwarf Marksman] also provided Sean with a new idea.

Just one musket can improve the territory's strength. There are cards like [Ship-borne Artillery] and [Assault Tank] in the card library. If they can be copied, they can also greatly improve the territory's war strength.

Thinking of this, Sean suddenly felt that the future of the territory became brighter.

But it's useless to think about it now. To summon [Ship-borne Artillery], you must reach level 20, which is the bronze level.

The best thing to do now is to quickly make a purchase list, and then go to the Magic Guild Library to read more books to increase your experience points.

Thinking of this, Sean quickly left his room and walked towards the study.

...

When Sean came to the study, he saw Henry, the butler, already discussing the items on the list with Windsor.

Seeing Sean enter the study, butlers Henry and Windsor stood up quickly and saluted Sean: "Your Highness Sean!"

"Well, sit down." Sean motioned for the two of them to sit down. "Henry, let's quickly confirm the supply list. I'm going to the Magic Guild later."

"No problem, Your Highness Sean." Henry, the butler, gave Sean a strange look.

Why is His Highness so interested in going to the Magic Guild?

Could it be because of the beautiful librarian girl in the library yesterday? His Highness liked her because he liked her...

Henry was halfway through his thinking when he was interrupted by Sean's voice.

"Henry, why are you distracted?" Sean said dissatisfied.

"No...nothing." Henry came to his senses, picked up a list of supplies and handed it to Sean.

The butler Henry prepared two identical copies of this supply list in advance. He handed one to Sean, and he took the other and read it:

"There are three types of materials that account for the most expenditure when we go to the territory to purchase supplies, namely food, slaves and mercenary groups.

The price of refined flour is 2.5 copper coins per solon. Of course, the whole wheat bread (brown bread) eaten by common people is much cheaper. Each adult consumes 45 solons of food per month..." (per

Sauron is approximately equal to one third of a kilogram)

Henry, the butler, began to talk endlessly about the contents of the supplies list.

After Sean got the list Henry gave him, he flipped through it. The list was three pages long, and it was all densely packed with words. Sean's scalp felt a little numb when he read it.

There is a lot on the list, and many items deserve serious discussion.

So Sean, the butler Henry and Windsor began to discuss, confirming the specific purchase contents of the purchase list one by one.

They talked for two hours.

...

In these two hours, Sean made many major decisions.

For example, when it comes to choosing a mercenary group, Sean listened to the advice of Windsor and the butler Henry, and chose Flame Cross, which has a good reputation and low fees.

In terms of minor items, Sean also made a lot of additions and deletions to the list.

For example, Sean canceled many luxury goods and instead bought some more seeds, weapons and armor, and poultry and livestock babies.

Sean and Henry also failed to reach an agreement on many projects.

For example, on the issue of slaves, Henry suggested buying cheap and obedient southern slaves. These southern slaves were shipped from Port Capul. They had been slaves since childhood, so they were particularly obedient.

Sean is more inclined to buy slaves captured from foreign wars brought from the Kingdom of Anjou in the northwest. These slaves were former civilians. Compared with the slaves in the south, they are stronger and more eager for freedom.

Finally, Sean decided to go to the slave market in the afternoon to take a look and decide which slave to buy.

...

Finally, the list has reached the last item.

"Is the last item finally over?" Sean showed a slightly tired smile. These two hours of high-intensity discussions made Sean a little tired, "The last item is to recruit candle workers...

Wait, what is a candle maker?”

"They are the craftsmen who make candles for the castle! The lighting of the castle at night depends entirely on them." Butler Henry explained.

"Can't you just buy something like a candle in Yohn City and bring it here? Do you need a specialized craftsman?" Sean asked confused.

"You may not understand the situation, Your Highness Sean.

Take the current castle as an example. In winter, 135 solons of wax and grease are consumed a day, which is about 1,300 candles. How can we bring so many candles back to the territory." (135 solons is about 45 kilograms)

"So many candles!" Sean was stunned. After discussing the issue of territory construction for two hours, Sean felt that he had gained a lot of knowledge.

"Henry, let's go to the slave merchant this afternoon. You can make arrangements. For other things, just follow the list.

By the way, please go and notify the Flame Cross Mercenary Group, the troops sent by Matthew and the Earl of River. If they can assemble early, we can go to Hetan Town early."
