After Jasmine left, Lear glanced around at the lizardmen.
"Who is your leader?"
Once they put on the armor, the slightly excited wetland lizardmen immediately quieted down.
All eyes turned to one of the figures, who was stronger and taller than the other wetland lizardmen by half a head.
The other person brushed past his companion's shoulder and walked up to Lear, his amber eyes filled with fervor and madness.
Kneeling on one knee, the ferocious lizard's head hung low.
"My lord, Hags sends you his highest greetings."
The other party's common language sounded somewhat unfamiliar, clearly indicating that it was not frequently used.
A common language is the dominant language, spoken by almost all intelligent races, but many races also retain their own languages.
Lear nodded.
"Hags, keep everyone in check."
"We need to stay in the city for a few more days."
At this moment, every word he utters is a golden rule!
Wetland lizards are incapable of arguing; their souls are entirely compliant.
"I obey your command, my lord!"
Unfortunately, neither of these two squadrons of Wetland Lizardmen had a single hero unit.
Lear felt a little regretful.
In this world, after embarking on the extraordinary path, there is a chance to undergo a second transformation and advance into an even more powerful hero unit!
A hero's transformation occurs during the leveling-up process.
For example, a trainee knight can be promoted to a junior knight, a junior knight to a mid-level knight, and so on. With each promotion, there is a chance to become a hero.
The greater the potential, the higher the chance.
The mark of becoming a hero is awakening one's heroic talent.
Once the talent is awakened, the combat power will be greatly enhanced. With the same equipment and level, a hero can easily wipe out three or four squads!
He is the best of the best!
However, the probability of becoming a hero is extremely small, reportedly only one in tens of thousands.
Taking a deep breath to gather her scattered thoughts, she waved to the staff of Rose House, instructing them to provide good food for the Wetland Lizardmen, before returning to her room alone.
It was already sunset.
Standing by the open window, I gaze at the sunset.
The sky was ablaze with fiery red clouds, and the orange-red sun slowly sank behind the city walls.
Both tasks were completed successfully today, and the results exceeded expectations.
First, we chose our territory, and here we successfully captured the Mud Swamp.
In the future, this deep swamp will become his place of refuge and livelihood.
At the same time, the power hidden within the swamp is priceless, a truly invaluable treasure!
Secondly, the two hundred novice knights and the level 6 wetland lizardmen were captured for only 1,000 gold coins.
This allowed him to accumulate sufficient pioneering power.
Finally, he developed a deeper connection with Philena Loren, the Flower of the North, the Loren Rose.
This line is of great significance; it remains useful in the early and mid-game, and even after the character has developed.
These past few days have been incredibly busy, but the results have been phenomenal.
Currently, we have over 70 gold coins and 30 wagons of resources, including horses and vehicles.
Two hundred level 6 wetland lizardmen wearing standard armor.
Furthermore, its soul has merged with the swamp deity!!
His net worth suddenly increased significantly.
As the sun gradually sank below the horizon, Lear's gaze deepened.
That night, in the early hours of the morning.
Ding~ Ding~ Ding~
The dwarf clock towers at every crossroads in Loran City rang twelve times in succession.
The entire city was enveloped in a crisp sound.
The timeline shifts from July 9th to July 10th.
Lear's eyes suddenly brightened as he waited.
The intelligence system panel appeared in his mind.
[The intelligence system has cooled down and can be refreshed. Refresh now?]
Overwhelmed with excitement, I immediately muttered "refresh!"
The moment it was confirmed, lines of text appeared on the panel.
[1. A river valley town 150 kilometers from Loran will be raided by a group of harpies tomorrow morning. (1 star)]
[2. Princess of Loran - Philena Loran, loves roses because when she was young, her carriage was robbed by a group of bandits. She hid in a rose bush and escaped, where she awakened her unique talent - the Lord of Roses. (1 star)]
[3. At the twenty-fourth stall selling ore at the entrance to the black market, the ore in the stall owner's hand contains a hidden ancient magical beast crystal core. Although most of its energy has been lost, it is still extraordinary. It can be fed to the strongest wetland lizardman, Hagus, to evolve his bloodline. Other lizardmen cannot withstand the pain of transformation. (2 stars)]
[4. In the fifth district of the slave market, the nineteenth shop—the Gray Mist Merchant Guild—sells dried earth dragon dung. This dung is produced by adult dragons, but due to its age, it has dried out and its dragon power has greatly diminished, leading to it being mistaken for earth dragon dung. Soaking it in fresh blood can restore its dragon power. When traveling across the wilderness, using dragon dung can help you safely reach the muddy swamp without being attacked (2 stars)]
5. A riot will break out 500 kilometers away in the wilderness in 20 days. Massive numbers of wilderness races will fight over a crumbling ruin. If you do not head to the territory before July 15th, you will be delayed for 7 months. The authority hidden in the mud swamp will awaken within six months. (3 stars)
Lear glanced at it, feeling a slight sense of regret.
There is no more golden legend.
The most valuable intelligence is 3 stars.
He wouldn't mind getting 6-star intelligence every time.
Calm down and look at it carefully.
The first piece of information was another report of an attack on a river valley town, but he didn't know where it was.
The North is vast, and there are many towns around Loran, especially on the side of Loran that faces inwards from the Empire, where the number is countless.
Such things happen countless times, every day, and are not surprising.
The second item is about Felena's past.
I never imagined that this flower of the North had such a dangerous experience when she was young.
Fortunately, this misfortune turned into a blessing in disguise, which led to his current status as a magical genius.
Is the opponent's awakened talent the Lord of Roses?
You can't tell anything from just the name; all you know is that it's related to roses.
No wonder the manor where I lived was called Rose Manor, and the hotel under its jurisdiction was called Rose House.
Article 3. The stall at the entrance to the black market? Selling ores? Isn't that the stall of the one-armed old man next to the one where you buy divinity?
There are such good things too.
Excellent, very excellent!
I felt a surge of excitement.
I was just lamenting that I didn't have any heroes at hand, and here they are; the intelligence system knows him.
Actually, he was still missing a few dragon eggs and a few divine artifacts.
Article 4. The dried dung of a dragon.
In the wilderness, many people buy earth dragon dung, which carries a faint dragon's might, to avoid a lot of trouble.
The dung of a giant dragon is far superior to that of an ordinary earth dragon.
When venturing into the wilderness thousands of miles away, the greatest danger is actually the journey to the muddy swamps.
Traveling over a thousand kilometers, traversing treacherous wilderness for more than half a month, was extremely dangerous.
An attack could happen at any time.
Dragon dung could directly solve this problem that was giving him a headache.
Lear was in a great mood.
In his opinion, the value of this intelligence was definitely more than 2 stars!
The fifth piece of information, the only one with a value of 3 stars, is that races in the wilderness will fight each other because of the ruins.
We must set off before the 15th, otherwise we will be delayed for 7 months, and the power of the swamp will be restored within 6 months!
This is crucial.
Once power is restored, it will inevitably cause a huge sensation.
If things get delayed, all you can do is shed tears in vain.
He must be prepared to seize it!
This is a power that only gods can control!
Who can resist the temptation to become a god?
This intelligence report is only worth 3 stars, which he felt was too low. He didn't know how the intelligence system evaluated the value of intelligence.
Lying in bed, Lear pondered how to use intelligence to build up his strength for tomorrow before falling into a deep sleep.
