Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence-Chapter 54: Preparations Begin 2

Silver Armor, that is indeed Silver Armor. With three sets of Silver Armor, he is confident he can capture that Minotaur territory, even though the losses may still be considerable. However, as long as he can capture it, the Iron Ore in that Minotaur-occupied location will undoubtedly fall into his hands. In his investigation, it is indeed a medium-sized Iron Mine, although it cannot produce Secret Silver Iron, even the Iron Ore alone is worth thousands of Gold Coins.

At the banquet.

Baron Pape Lawrence and Rajos Assad were conversing.

Seeing Rajos Assad already a bit tipsy, seemingly unintentionally, Baron Pape Lawrence spoke with curiosity.

"My friend, forgive my boldness, how did you manage to transport Black Iron Armor and Silver Armor to the Northern Province through the blockade of the Habbs Commerce Association? This seems quite difficult?"

"Simply unbelievable."

Baron Pape Lawrence spoke with curiosity and amazement.

"Baron Pape Lawrence, this was not transported from other regions. I dare not violate Marquis Reman’s regulations. I procured them from a friend who commands a group of goblins and owns an Iron Mine. These are naturally nothing."

Rajos Assad muttered drunkenly as he spoke.

"Friend?"

"Large Iron Ore Deposit!"

"Goblins!"

Baron Pape Lawrence’s forehead couldn’t help but twitch, his heart more shaken.

"My friend, I wonder which Baron your friend might be; I seem never to have heard of him?"

Baron Pape Lawrence suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked again.

However, he found Rajos had directly fallen asleep on the table.

"Lord Rajos!"

"Lord Rajos!"

Despite soft calls, there was no response at all.

Baron Pape Lawrence frowned but still ordered to take Rajos to rest.

"Father!"

As Rajos was taken away, a young man swiftly approached.

"How is the investigation I asked you to conduct these past days?"

Baron Pape Lawrence looked at his eldest son, also his proudest son, speaking with an inquisitive tone.

"It has been found!"

"The first territory Rajos Assad visited was Eagle Ridge of Thor Dressrosa; the first sale of Black Iron Armor also departed from Green Territory of Eagle Ridge. The source of the Black Iron Armor could be the Emerson Family or the Dressrosa Family; additionally, Olvido Territory or Crow Territory is also possible."

Lawrence Lawrence spoke respectfully, reporting to his father.

Since obtaining the Black Iron Armor for the first time, Baron Pape Lawrence had his eldest son investigate.

"Emerson, Dressrosa Family!"

His forehead slightly furrowed, as these two families were not easily provoked.

"By the way, outside our territory, how is the investigation on that timid Goblin Tribe?"

"Wasn’t there a fire there some time ago, has the situation not been investigated?"

Seemingly recalling something, Baron Pape Lawrence asked again.

"Father, it has been investigated, but it seems that area has already been occupied by Eagle Ridge!"

"It should have been Eagle Ridge attacking that group of timid goblins."

Lawrence Lawrence spoke respectfully, reporting to his father.

"Eagle Ridge occupied it?"

"Wait, did you previously say Rajos Assad first visited Eagle Ridge of Thor Dressrosa, and the first sale of Black Iron Armor also departed from Green Territory of Eagle Ridge?"

Baron Pape Lawrence’s mind suddenly became clear, and he couldn’t help but ask.

"Yes, Father!"

Lawrence Lawrence nodded quickly, albeit with some confusion.

Upon hearing his son’s confirmation, Baron Pape Lawrence directly approached the map.

Seeing that map and the newly marked two red dots he had made, his eyes became brighter.

"Timid Goblin Territory, goblins, Black Iron Armor, Silver Armor!"

"Friend?!"

"Lawrence, I have an important task for you to investigate now; bring a few knights to that goblin location; I want to know what Eagle Ridge is doing?"

Baron Pape Lawrence spoke with a deep tone.

"Father, are you suspecting that these Black Iron Armors and Silver Armors originate from Eagle Ridge?"

"But Thor Dressrosa just became a Pioneer Knight."

Lawrence Lawrence expressed disbelief as he spoke.

"Nothing is impossible, Lawrence. The Dressrosa Family is not weak, much stronger than us. This individual might have received substantial support from this generation’s Count Dressrosa, and don’t forget, goblins are already goblins. Some large goblins capture goblins to forge weapons for them. This was once a large Goblin Tribe, located dozens of miles from Eagle Ridge. What reason would there be for this Dressrosa descendant to expend great effort for timid goblins unless there is another reason, other than capturing a Fox Girl? As slaves, they wouldn’t even be worth a few Gold Coins."

"I can’t think of any reason other than this for the Dressrosa descendant to attack this territory."

Baron Pape Lawrence spoke with a sigh.

His expression grew more excited.

A large Iron Ore Deposit, and possibly a group of goblins.

As long as this wealth is obtained, he might even have the hope, before the Kingdom War, to gather enough capital. Through the Kingdom War, he might even earn the title of Viscount.

The mere thought of such a result made him a bit restless.

As for Thor Dressrosa, he didn’t concern himself much.

Just a fledgling Pioneer Lord.

Even if he is a Dressrosa descendant, even if he possibly has Count Dressrosa’s favor.

But the support for a Pioneer Knight is ultimately limited.

And he has been developing in the Northern Province for over twenty years, having been promoted to Baron for over fifteen years.

Due to being in the Northern Province, his strength is not inferior to that of common inland Viscounts at all.

With such strength, if a fledgling Pioneer Lord could not be seized, it would be absurd.

As for possibly offending the Dressrosa Family.

In the entire Northern Province, as long as the value is significant enough, Marquis Reman wouldn’t care too much, let alone the Dressrosa Family.

"I understand!"

"Father, I will get on it immediately!!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Lawrence responded swiftly and quickly left.

Watching his son leave, Baron Pape Lawrence’s eyes couldn’t help but be filled with expectation as he gazed at the moonlight outside.

"Goddess of Life above, is this your favor for me?"

Mumbling, his expression carried a sense of anticipation and hope.
