Chapter 585 29: Ingrid's Virtue and the Visit of a New Knight Order
He still maintained some bottom lines, he could collect the spider silk himself if needed.
The western part of the Blood Pine Forest was ceded to him, and recently, he had been clearing out various monster nests and underground caverns. The number of monsters he had slain was considerable; he alone killed three Anaric Giant Spiders and used the obtained spider silk to make five squadrons of Lily Battle Banners.
As for the stockings made by Aeliria, she kept two pairs of white stockings, and one pair of flesh-colored ones for herself. This little Green Dragon princess especially loved white stockings.
Ingrid took one pair of white stockings and one pair of flesh-colored ones.
The remaining two pairs of black stockings and one pair of flesh-colored ones were all for Su Li, the Lord. In this world, even if a stone fell on the territory, it would still be the wealth of the Lord.
When it comes to production, when the number reaches seven, at least half of it needs to be taxed. Regardless of whether it's handmade, even if a peasant woman made two pairs of straw shoes, one of them must be given to the Lord.
Of these three pairs of stockings, Su Li immediately gave Hilude a pair of black stockings. As his Attendant Chief, his personal secretary, often wearing shirts and uniforms, black stockings suited her perfectly.
She was his adorable little treasure, one of the most trusted people in this world, so of course, any treasure was given to her first.
In fact, Hilude was also a little rich lady in the territory. Although she wasn't like Ingrid, who could produce various tools, Su Li had given her a lot of wealth.
Last year alone, she received at least four portions of salary and allowances from Su Li, including for roles as a female courtier, Divine Chosen Knight, High-level Attendant Chief, and Leader of the Sun of Vengeance Half-Lion Griffin Knight Order.
In these roles, High-level Attendant Chief and Leader of the Sun of Vengeance Half-Lion Griffin Knight Order were concrete positions that allowed her to collect two salaries.
While the roles of female courtier and Divine Chosen Knight were for her allowances, these couldn't overlap or be reduced.
Moreover, like Oerstein, she received nearly 30 months' worth of wages from the territory.
Last year, the wealth she acquired from Su Li exceeded 7,000 Golden Crowns. The exact number was something Su Li never really paid attention to, as he never hesitated when spending money on Hilude.
With this wealth, Hilude had acquired the finest equipment currently available in the Hesse Territory, from weapons to armor, talismans to rings, badges to advanced mounts, all of which were above perfect quality.
Indeed, her weapons and talismans had already reached Rare Level!
Among Hesse Territory's two Rare Level talismans, the Jade Griffin was with her, while the Ancient Giant Dragon's Blessing was with Oerstein.
Once Ingrid finishes crafting the new Rare Level talisman, Su Li will wear it.
In the current situation, one could say Su Li wasn't afraid of the emergence of any roaring beast herd.
If the opponents were merely a legion passing by, with two thousand against two thousand, even if there were a large number of Bloodthirsty Barbarian Bulls and Great Horned Beasts, Su Li was confident he could counterattack and break them in one battle.
So when Freya left, Su Li sat in the reception hall of the Bauhinia, gently caressing Archibald's skull drinking vessel, and asked Hilude, who was waiting by his side, "What do you think about the roaring beast herd thing Freya mentioned just now?"
Hilude raised her heroic eyebrows and said, "I think Freya bringing up this topic definitely was not pointless. It's very possible their Corona Knight Order discussed this internally and believes there's a high probability that a roaring beast herd might appear, which is why she mentioned this to you."
"I personally agree with their assessment; the roaring beast herd is a threat all territories will face. They wander around and can appear anywhere. We didn't face a truly powerful roaring beast herd last year, I suspect it's possibly because they were blocked by Aeliria's minions."
"That Dragon Ape that escaped under Gaucric's axe has yet to show itself, perhaps it's also a potential threat."
Su Li nodded: "Having a bit of a potential threat isn't a bad thing. Otherwise, if nothing happens this year, it might make people nervous instead."
