Transmigrated with a Demon-Refining Pot: Hehehe, Refine in an instant

On the wide King's Road, Ron had already been ordained and was now a full-fledged baron.

On his way back to his family, Ron was no longer alone; he was accompanied by an entire convoy.

The caravan consisted of dozens of carriages, each piled high with all sorts of ironware.

Spears, iron swords, bows and arrows, ten suits of armor, and various practical farming tools.

These are all precious supplies that Ron specially purchased from the capital.

The price of metals in the capital is the lowest in the country.

He didn't have much capital for development, so he naturally tried to save money wherever possible.

For the nobility who venture out to expand their territory, there are many loans available in the capital city, all provided by the nobles and large merchant groups of the capital, which have long formed a complete industrial chain.

The price to pay is the addresses of various shops after the territory is successfully developed.

Rights to sell, caravans, tariffs, and the like.

Ron also applied for a loan in the capital, 2000 gold coins, which was the maximum loan amount he could get.

The world's currencies are copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins. The exchange rate for all of them is 1:100.

Most people also refer to gold coins as "golden dragons".

A black bread loaf typically cost two copper coins. A serf cost one gold dragon.

In this investiture, each nobleman received an elven reward from the Grand Duke.

Ron received a wheat fairy and a dandelion fairy.

Among them, the dandelion spirit insect is a magic potion spirit. This is to ensure that the nobles have the ability to support the knights' training.

Ron spent 1500 gold dragons to buy two elf insects at the elf insect trading market in the royal capital.

Fortunately, the Viscountess sponsored 500 gold dragons, otherwise Ron really wouldn't have dared to buy two elf insects.

Magic Potion Sprites are too expensive, usually costing at least three times as much as Agricultural Sprites.

The extremely rare ones can be more than 10 times higher.

The key is that the magic potion sprites rarely appear on the market; if they do, they are snapped up by the nobles.

Ron bought two different insects this time: a sweet potato fairy insect and a rye fairy insect.

These are the most popular spirit insects among pioneer lords in the early game.

After forming contracts with all the spirit insects, Ron grew to like them more and more. The spirit insects were simply the darlings of this world, making every creature reluctant to harm them.

The lifespan of an elf insect is generally 15 to 20 years.

Small Pokémon have a lifespan of 50 years, while large Pokémon have a lifespan of 150 years.

Elemental spirits have a lifespan of 500 years, while nature spirits have a lifespan of 1000 years.

An agricultural sprite can cover 100 acres, while a potion sprite can only cover 5 acres.

Spend all the money you borrowed.

Ron then embarked on his journey home, preparing to return to his family to ask for people and money.

Aside from adventurers and mercenaries eager to make a fortune, those heading to the frontiers were not particularly interested in such ventures.

Another group of people will also choose to join this group.

Those were the second sons, illegitimate children, or down-on-their-luck knights of lower nobility.

For them, following a successful pioneering lord might be the only chance to change their social class.

Hart Lentil is one of them.

This is a mid-ranking knight squire, almost 30 years old, a fallen noble knight.

Ron was short-handed for this expansion, so after checking the man's background and finding him to be innocent, he accepted him.

We also recruited one other person, Dick Curtain.

This is the son of a wealthy merchant. His father donated 200 gold dragons to Ron, and Ron accepted him as a follower. His cultivation of fighting spirit is only at the beginner level.

Accompanying the caravan were various craftsmen: blacksmiths, carpenters, bricklayers, and stonemasons.

These were all slaves captured during the Kingdom Wars, bought by Ron, and later sent to the frontiers to contribute their talents.

We arrived at Broccoli Ridge Castle.

Ron finally met his father in this life, Henry Broccoli.

And his brother Oliver Broccoli, a 20-year-old low-ranking knight squire.

Mother Gwynne Kalan was a low-level magician apprentice.

Ella Broccoli, the younger sister, is only 10 years old and has already been diagnosed with magical talent; she is currently receiving basic education.

And his sister-in-law, Sofia Watercress.

The whole family came.

Baron Henry laughed heartily, "Come, come, let us welcome our Baron Ron home."

After exchanging pleasantries with everyone in the family.

Ron finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to walk towards his room.

As soon as he entered the room, Ron couldn't wait to go to the sink and turn on the tap to let the cool water wash over his face.

After washing his face and waking up, Ron changed into a clean and tidy suit.

This suit was specially prepared by him for tonight's banquet.

The banquet was attended not only by members of the Broccoli family, but also by knights loyal to the Broccoli family and nobles on friendly terms, all of whom brought a large number of their sons.

Ron was planning to recruit these people.

After all, we know the company inside and out, so we feel more at ease using it.

When he stepped into the banquet hall of Maple Leaf Castle, he saw that the hall was brightly lit, and the chandeliers cast a soft light, making everything look like a dream.

The long table was laden with delicacies, and the air was filled with the aroma of wine. Nobles, dressed in their finest attire, discussed the mistresses of various nobles, while maids bustled about among them.

Soon, a crowd gathered. Ron recognized him; he was a loyal knight of a family that had served the Broccoli family for nearly a century.

The knight, accompanied by his second son, bowed respectfully: "Congratulations on your triumphant return, Baron Ron. This is my son; it would be an honor to serve you." Ron smiled in response, and they exchanged a few words.

Then, the heir of the mother's family, the Cabbage Family, also came forward to exchange pleasantries.

Ron enjoyed the treatment of the main character throughout the dinner party, and the people around him never left.

After the banquet, Ron went to the study at the invitation of Baron Henry.

"My excellent son, you have won honor for the family this time. Do not worry, the family will fully support you."

I have prepared five thousand golden dragons for you; two thousand are for you, and three thousand are a loan.

Ron had some understanding of the family estate's income.

5000 Golden Dragons—that's more than the family's annual income. It seems the family is really going all out.

"As for the spirit insects, the family will prepare one potion spirit insect for you, or you can choose three agricultural spirit insects."

Ron pondered for a moment and replied, "Father, I choose the potion spirit insect. I already bought two agricultural spirit insects in the capital before I came here."

"Yes, you made the right choice!"

"Only with potions can we support more knights. We must first ensure our survival in the frontier before we can consider expanding our territory."

The broccoli family now has 3 little elves and more than 20 elf bugs.

The lifespan of the sprites is too short, making it difficult to accumulate them. The three sprites are considered to be among the top in the Baron family.

"Furthermore, which of those nobles and knights' sons have you taken a fancy to? I allow you to recruit them. Are there any other requirements? Tell me all at once," Baron Henry said generously.

"Father, that's wonderful. Could you please arrange some more guards for me? We also need some talent for managing the territory, and it would be best if you could bring in some craftsmen as well."

Ron was now asking for an exorbitant price; this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

We should strive to secure as many resources and support as possible. The better prepared we are now, the more secure and comfortable we will be on the new land in the future.

"We can't offer much help with the craftsmen; most of them are free people, so we can only give you 10."

"I can give you thirty guards, all of them experienced and skilled."

If you need someone to manage your territory, I'll assign you the administrator of Birch Town.

"He has managed the territory for many years and is very experienced; he can be of great help to you," said Baron Henry.

Ron was overjoyed and quickly thanked him, saying, "Please rest assured, Father, I will certainly live up to the family's expectations."
