You lot, we’ve lucked into this exceptional enchanted weapon—you ought to be grateful, or the alchemist would be furious enough to spit blood!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas exclaimed, “What a find!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The alchemist forged this enchanted spear solely for his battle servants’ hunting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, to that alchemist, this spear is no better than a chopping knife at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s only because they’re poor that they treat it as a treasure!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the fact that it’s not a lance, Gervas didn’t care at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before his transmigration, he had been a man from Huáguó.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, if you just swap the shaft for a longer one, isn’t it plainly a spear?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In ancient times, Zhao Zilong of Changshan, my Yun Brother of the Three Kingdoms, wielded a single spear and cut through seven enemy lines and back again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve rarely had such an opportunity—I might as well learn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s an odd exception, but when the spear strikes, it’s like a dragon lashing out—its first glint of cold light arrives before anything else!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sheer prestige? Perfect!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas happily stowed the spearhead and led his men back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving at the town gate, he saw the town bustling with activity—the Tulip Trading Company’s caravan had arrived!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, townsfolk had gathered joyfully in the square, buying and bartering goods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, this would have been utterly impossible in Stormhold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The townsfolk were so poor they couldn’t even afford enough to eat, let alone spare coin for daily supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The caravan wouldn’t have come at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, your arrival is the fortune of all Stormhold’s people!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Meng and the others felt the deepest change in Stormhold; seeing this scene, their admiration for their lord arose naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas avoided contacting the caravan—Thomas and Old John handled everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas had inquired about the number of furs this month: five hundred, exactly matching the agreed quantity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With profit as motivation, it’s the best lubricant for any relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Gervas!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? Bernar, has the seafood caravan returned?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to the castle courtyard, an unexpected figure appeared before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Bernar, running up to greet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, my lord, the sea fish sold extremely well, so I was able to return ahead of schedule with the team!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As per Gervas’s earlier plan for seafood, he had organized a seafood caravan five days ago to sell fish in Iron Wolf City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The caravan consisted of eleven people: Bernar, the caravan manager, six serfs as helpers, and four guards for security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas had assumed Bernar wouldn’t return before his campaign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the round trip alone would take four days, and selling the fish would surely take over a week?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he returned far sooner than expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas pulled Bernar aside and asked about the seafood sales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer was delightful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to seafood’s scarcity, and because Gervas’s seafood was truly fresh—preserved with ice, not dried or salted—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>nobles and wealthy merchants in Iron Wolf City scrambled to buy it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bernar had merely hawked the seafood in the southern district of Iron Wolf City, and it was all sold out before they even reached the eastern district.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>City layouts in this world are generally uniform: southern districts house merchants or minor nobles; eastern districts are for higher-status or wealthier elites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, selling out entirely in the southern district proves Iron Wolf City’s future consumption power is strong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stormhold’s seafood will never lack buyers from now on!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, here are the gold coins and the ledger from this sale: ninety-six gold coins, eighty-seven silver coins, and thirty-two copper pieces.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So much?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The total value of the fish caught from the merfolk had never exceeded eighty gold coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, they sold another batch of fish around Stormhold for over ten gold coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the seafood sent to Iron Wolf City should have been worth no more than seventy gold coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, upon arriving in Iron Wolf City, I saw nobles and merchants fighting over the seafood, so I raised the prices on the spot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Especially the magic sea clams that produce glow pearls—I marked up the price by thirty percent for the nobles and merchants. Please punish me, my lord!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a find! Gervas exclaimed, “What a find!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he punish a subordinate with such brains?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To outsiders, Bernar was a shrewd merchant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to him, Bernar was talent—resourceful, capable of adapting, and fighting for maximum profit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bernar, you did excellently. These wealthy merchants and nobles have endless gold—earn as much as you can to develop Stormhold; this aligns perfectly with the castle’s interests.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thus, as caravan manager, you have the right to adapt appropriately when abroad.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, hand these coins and the ledger to Old John—and collect five silver coins from him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Two are your reward for this mission; the other three silver coins, divide among your ten men. Since the caravan has just arrived, use the reward to buy something nice!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, my lord, for your generosity!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bernar and his team were overwhelmed with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had thought the long journey was a hardship, but the reward was truly generous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, their lord had even thought of these small details—what a fine lord!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Epic enchanted weapon, my lord—this is an epic weapon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas took the spear to the forge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the blacksmith Luca stared in shock at the spear Gervas handed him, then swung it toward a nearby target, his whole body trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? Luca, are you certain?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he had suspected it already, confirming it as an epic weapon still delighted Gervas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, I can be one hundred percent certain: the more complex the inscription on an enchanted weapon, the higher its rank!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Moreover, the Quack Earl’s family owns a legendary ancestral epic dagger, identical to this spear—its blade is entirely covered in inscriptions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve seen Earl Quack use that enchanted dagger—the passive glow it emitted was nearly identical to this spear’s!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, that enchanted dagger was granted by His Majesty the King to Earl Quack’s grandfather!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that’s how it is!” Gervas nodded with a smile—now he was certain of its quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then revealed how he obtained the spear, satisfying Luca’s curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Congratulations, my lord! Though it’s a small enchanted weapon and merely a spear, its value starts at eight hundred gold coins!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas then entrusted Luca with replacing the spear’s shaft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, isn’t a 2.7-meter shaft too long? That’s already the length of a lance?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not too long—I intend to use this spear as a lance,” Gervas shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh…” The chief blacksmith had no reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could imagine: while other knights raised proud lances, his lord alone would brandish a slender spear… even if it was long enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But would his lord truly have the nerve?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luca wanted to argue further, but seeing his lord’s burning gaze, he held his tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, my lord. I’ll complete it as quickly as possible!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1148,"2026-06-20T22:44:01.160Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","41254d1e57c9d2c8bea3136aea4a7c165c7c51f9d4a7213b6626308639890ffa","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-128","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-126",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-cover.jpg"]
