Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 147 Family Crest
At that moment, all five of them, including Clyde, Liu Zhongyuan, Coras, and others, had their eyes shining.

Clyde stepped forward and took the two-star longsword.

"My lord, this knife is quite good; it should fetch a high price. I suggest you take it with you."

Hehe, so you're the one who wants to buy it, but aren't you using a two-star longsword? Is there anything in common between this one-handed longsword and the one-handed longsword?
Or was it bought for one of my companions?
Forget it, I don't care what you do. I won't sell you this two-star longsword unless you give me 80—no, I'll give you a discount, 70 standard gold coins.

Li Wei confirmed with her eyes, while Clyde responded with a fiery gaze. Bah!
It seems they don't know the cost price of this thing.

Gee!

Available shares -10!

Nodding, Li Wei told Clyde to stand aside, then looked at the four mercenaries, who were still somewhat hesitant.

Therefore, he could only call roll.

"Liu Zhongyuan, what kind of goods do you think we should bring this time?"

"Reporting to you, sir, I believe it is permissible to carry a one-star medicine capable of treating the blood plague," Liu Zhongyuan replied cautiously, appearing quite hesitant.

"Okay, then take ten portions!"

With a wave of his hand, Li Wei reduced the available shares by 10 again.

As a result, Liu Zhongyuan and the other three all shuddered, seemingly quite surprised.

Holy crap? What's going on? Is there a blood plague in the chaotic killing battlefield too?
Is the blood plague not unique to this world?
A thought flashed through Li Wei's mind, and then he remembered that Hathaway's two-star potion could actually sell for 100 gold coins a piece outside, and he was really "holy crap"!

Next, he called on Coras to come forward and select supplies, but he refused to do so, as did Charles and Pang Wu.

No way, you guys are that poor?
Li Wei blinked, then suddenly realized what was going on. He wanted to laugh, so he simply said, "Why don't they eat meat porridge?"

Mercenary players are extremely poor. Just think about Leon One, and you'll know how difficult it must have been for Liu Zhongyuan, Coras, Charles, and Pang Wu to reach their current level.

He judged others by his own standards, assuming everyone carried dozens of gold coins, which was unrealistic.

As for Clyde and Leon, they are definitely among the best. Leon was able to gather 500 gold coins to launch a title mission. How can you compare to them?

Li Wei stopped insisting and started to figure it out on his own.

The first choice would naturally be the 600 one-star quality armor plates that Ron crafted, but unfortunately, the total price is 60 gold. Actually, this price is not expensive at all. 600 armor plates, which is only one silver coin each, and he only has a share of 50 gold. What a joke.

As for buying less, that's completely pointless.

With a sigh, Li Wei could only choose some supplies that could be sold in Kahe City.

For example, that two-star bear skin only cost ten gold coins; I took it.

A one-star deer hide costs only five gold coins. Give me two.

Two silver coins each for a steel arrowhead, give me fifty of them first.

Li Wei originally planned to buy some one-star wheat, but after the autumn harvest, he had his own private land that could produce one-star wheat, so there was no need to waste it.

That's settled then. We've used up our supply of fifty gold coins, so we can set off first thing tomorrow morning.

Next, Li Wei had Clyde, Coras, Charles Pangwu, and the others help Liu Zhongyuan make pancakes or prepare the small trinkets they needed, while he returned to the second floor of the tavern to pack up his weapons and equipment.

When he returned to his own double room, he saw that Hathaway was still very weak and pale, but she hadn't rested. Even Penny was there, and they were busy with something.

Oh, that's his two-star leather armor. Penny repaired it last month. Although the repair was good, it's just back to normal, with no attribute bonuses whatsoever.

At that moment, Hathaway was holding a piece of parchment, pointing to the patterns on it and explaining them to Penny, while Penny was diligently sewing something on it.

This scene truly stunned Li Wei.

"Shh!"

Hathaway looked up and gestured for Li Wei to be quiet, then continued to instruct Penny very seriously and attentively.

So what are they doing?

As Li Wei was pondering this, he saw a line of information silently slide down.

[Your family member Hathaway is upgrading your two-star leather armor. Based on her current storyline role and the level of intimacy you've had over the past month, this upgrade does not require trading.]

Would Hathaway really be that kind?

Li Weicai didn't believe it.

But what pattern is Penny sewing on his leather armor chest right now? It looks kind of familiar.

Rubbing his eyes, Li Wei craned his neck and looked at the parchment in Hathaway's hand. Well, he was sure of it. Wasn't this the pattern on the flag flying on the walls of Kah City?

Is it the noble coat of arms of the Kacher family, or their heraldry?

Holy crap! You bitch, you're afraid my trip won't be exciting enough, so you're revealing my identity, aren't you?

"Shh! George, be quiet."

Hathaway held up a finger and pressed it to Li Wei's lips. "This is the core crest of the Kahr family, its core emblem, with strict hereditary and legal significance. No one who isn't a true heir of the Kahr family deserves to use this core crest. With this, your leather armor will be called the Kahr family crest armor. Whether you go to the province of Ver, the province of Duson, or even the capital, you will represent the Kahr family. This will demonstrate that you are a nobleman!" "George, I know that some tragedies have occurred in the Kahr family that I still don't want to recall. Your uncle is even wanted you. But precisely because of this, you need to be brave and face all of this. Kahr City should have belonged to you. Perhaps one day in the future, we can take it back."

Hathaway spoke very emotionally, but Li Wei suddenly understood Hathaway's purpose. Damn, aren't you too ambitious?
If the character I play, George, also has the right to inherit the city of Kah, then if you are pregnant with George's child, does that mean you also have the right to inherit the city of Kah?

So you look down on our little camp, you want to take over the city of Kah!
Li Wei was convinced. Yes, this was the real plan of these advanced players, and the real reason that attracted them to join the mission world. Behind this, no one knew how long they had been planning and how much manpower and resources they had prepared.

He bet that when the one-star fortress is completed next month and the family population can exceed 12 people, Hathaway's loyal subordinates or friends will flock to her.

Fortunately, he was already prepared to lie down and settle the task at that time.

He can't afford to mess with a four-star boss like that.

Seemingly noticing the change in Li Wei's eyes, Hathaway smiled gently, took his hand, and quietly watched Penny sew the family crest.

This is undoubtedly an area that Penny excels at, especially with the parchment patterns for comparison.

However, this was obviously not something that could be resolved in a short time, so Li Wei quickly went back to bed to sleep. Since he couldn't change it, he could only accept it.

Nothing happened that night. When he woke up the next morning, Penny had already left, and Hathaway was not there either. However, his leather armor and all his equipment, including his backpack, had been taken out and placed aside, along with his summer clothes that had been washed clean.

Even on the bedside table, there was a bouquet of freshly picked flowers and a bowl of warm water.

Sigh! This is the kind of attention to detail that makes a big shot do things; it's something he should seriously learn from.

The reason he couldn't refuse last month was because Hathaway had done everything perfectly, from head to toe, from morning to night, from dressing and eating to working and resting, it was impeccable.

The better and more meticulous she is, the more the plot weight shifts, just like saying certain key lines will trigger the plot. They all seem like small things, but in reality, they are as vast as mountains and seas. Once the offensive starts, it is overwhelming.

If Li Wei dares not comply, it's a no-go.

What excuse can stop this kind of subtle and nurturing care?

He didn't want to be a reckless gambler, testing whether NG's knife was sharp enough.

He quickly got dressed, and the noble emblems on his two-star leather armor seemed to be shimmering, but perhaps it was just an illusion.

Only attributes are real.

【Name: Noble Herald Armor】

【Quality: Two Star】

[Defense +15, additional +8 to the heart area, and a very high chance to save against fatal blows (such as lance charge, spear thrust, etc.), cumbersomeness +2 (-1 Dexterity when worn)]

【Feature 1: Provides good concealment when moving through mountains and forests and at night】

[Characteristic 2: Trade +8, no unscrupulous merchant dares to extort a noble lord (in the Kah region, trade +16)]

[Trait 3: In the Kahe City region (within a 100-mile radius of Kahe City), you will receive special treatment. Bandits may flee at the sight of you, but they might also be tempted to rob you. Commoners will be very obedient to you, and you can ask them to do many things. If you do good deeds around Kahe City, your reputation will increase double, but at the same time, you will definitely be wanted and hunted by the lord of Kahe City. (Note: This trait will automatically disappear after leaving this world)]

-

Good guy!
So Hathaway wanted him to be wanted by the lord of Kah City and then die from a charge of lances by the garrison knights, right?

Li Wei complained, but despite that, he still felt he had made a great deal.

This single noble crest increases the overall defense of this leather armor by 3 points, and even reaches 23 points of defense at the vital chest area, with a very high chance of being immune to a fatal blow. If this isn't a bargain, what more could you ask for?

As for being wanted by the lord of Kah City, does that mean he wouldn't be wanted if he didn't have this noble crest?
His reputation in Kah City had already reached 563 points.

No need for pity!

I went out and went downstairs.

Clyde and four mercenaries had been waiting downstairs at the tavern for some time. Fila, Penny, and Hathaway, the three women in the family, were busy making breakfast.

This detail is beyond reproach.

After breakfast, Li Wei hugged them goodbye and set off amidst their tearful eyes.

Four mercenaries pushed the wheelbarrow, with Clyde leading the way and Li Wei bringing up the rear.

The route south from the camp for twenty miles follows the banks of a stream. Last year, the area was overgrown with weeds and deserted, but this year a path has been trampled through it.

Whether Fira is out gathering or fishing, she always passes through here.

However, after walking twenty miles, there was no road ahead. The mountains were undulating, covered with trees, and the area was desolate.

"Stop! Let's rest here for a bit."

Li Wei called out, and although everyone wasn't actually tired, they all knew that a small auction was about to begin.

Next, the group looked around warily, then chose a small grove of trees, put down their wheelbarrows, took out their weapons, and stood guard.

Then Liu Zhongyuan, Kolas, and the others quickly set up a tent.

At this point, Li Wei nodded, and everyone immediately crawled into the tent. Then, Clyde activated a one-star conspiracy card.
