Just as the elves were busy preparing to capture the Dark Elf King, Martin had already led Eric and others back to Yulong City.
Looking down from the air, the group saw that under Yoder's careful management, the expansion of Yulong City had been very effective, and it already had the atmosphere of a royal capital.
Seeing this, Martin signaled Hefna to use her magic and take him straight to the castle.
As for the housekeeper Lilith, she had already learned the news when Martin was overlooking Yulong City.
At that time, someone noticed Martin and his group and immediately closed the S-level defensive magic circle in accordance with the "regulations". At the same time, a maid hurried to inform the housekeeper Lilith, and another servant hurried to inform Yoder and Roland.
At this moment, Yoder and Roland were rushing towards the castle.
The moment Martin emerged from the space crack, housekeeper Lilith immediately stepped forward, saluted respectfully with a dignified demeanor.
At this moment, two figures came running as fast as the wind and rushed straight towards Martin, obviously wanting to jump directly into his arms.
Martin hesitated for a moment, after all, Qiao Wei'an was there. But before he could react, the two of them had already thrown themselves into his arms.
In desperation, Martin could only hug them.
Martin was full of surprise. Jovian seemed to be oblivious to the fact that he was holding two people in his arms, and continued to talk to him as usual.
Martin embraced the two of them and walked towards the castle hall. After entering the hall, Martin turned to Eric and the others and said, "Everyone has worked hard on this journey. Go down and have a good rest."
Upon hearing this, Eric and the others saluted in unison and then left.
Hefna muttered something under her breath, and Eric and the others smiled at each other, quickening their pace to leave this slightly awkward scene.
After everyone left, Martin put his arm around someone, looked at Qiao Wei'an, and asked with a smile on his face, "Have you missed me during this time?"
A blush appeared on Qiao Wei'an's face. Such an intimate scene was rare for her, but she still replied softly, "Yes."
After hearing this, Martin couldn't help but kiss her lightly on the cheek. At this moment, Martin seemed to realize something.
With a thought in his mind, he let go of the two of them and said to Qiao Wei'an, "I still have some things to deal with. I'll come to you later."
Jovian nodded obediently, then turned and left with Viola.
When Viola left, she glared at Martin angrily and thought to herself: I have taken the initiative, it seems that I still need to do some ideological work on Jovian.
After the two figures disappeared, Martin said to the shadows in the hall: "How is it going?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a disheveled Shadow Hunter slowly walked out from the shadows, came to Martin, knelt on one knee, and said with a guilty look on his face: "Master, I am truly incompetent and failed to complete the mission."
"I attempted assassination on the Dwarf King thirteen times, but in the end, I only managed to cut off his right hand, which he used to defend himself."
As he spoke, he presented a severed hand with a high-level space ring.
Martin didn't care too much at first, but when his eyes fell on the high-level space ring, he instantly became interested.
He took the space ring, handed the severed hand back to the Shadow Hunter, and praised and encouraged him highly.
After a moment's thought, Martin pulled out a space ring containing a magic item and handed it to the Shadow Hunter. Seeing this, the Shadow Hunter's voice trembled with excitement: "Thank you for the reward, Master!"
Martin nodded and let him go down to rest.
Watching the Shadow Hunter's departing back, Martin couldn't help but sigh. A legendary master was in such a mess. This journey must have been extremely difficult.
Martin then prepared to open this advanced space ring, but he couldn't open it and didn't dare to try it easily. Martin thought about it and asked the system, can he recharge?
The system said it was possible, but the host could not know the items inside. Martin thought that the king must have brought a lot of good things, so it would be a pity to recharge directly.
However, considering that he only had more than three million energy left, he decided to accumulate more energy.
Afterwards, he recharged the system with the items in the advanced space. Soon, the recharge was completed and the energy reached more than 8 million.
Martin called out the system.
[Host: Martin]
【System level: Level 3】
[Current Level: Peak Silver Knight]
[Sworn Guards: 6,873 people]
[Contracted Dragon: Nine, Dragonmen: Thirty-six]
Energy Reserve: 8,524,100
Martin played with the spatial ring he had obtained from the Dwarf King and couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect the Dwarf King to have hidden so many goodies. It's a pity I couldn't inspect them on the spot. However, since we've already attempted to assassinate him, the feud is settled, and there will definitely be trouble to come."
He turned to examine his own cultivation, which had reached the peak of silver, and felt that it was time to try to break through.
To be on the safe side, he planned to have Eric guard him.
After making the decision, Martin sorted out his thoughts and went to find Jovian.
As soon as the two met, they became intimate and immersed in sweetness.
Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense and about to break the bottom line, Qiao Vian blushed and reached out to stop Martin. She gave Martin a coquettish look and thought to herself: I was almost taken advantage of by this guy.
Then, with a blushing face, she pushed Martin out of the room and said in a delicate voice, "We can't do this before we get married."
After being pushed out of the room, Martin was not angry. He smiled and asked into the room: "Is it true that after we get married, we can do whatever we want?"
Qiao Wei'an's face turned redder and she uttered a soft "hmm," her voice as thin as a mosquito's. If Martin hadn't been at the peak of Silver cultivation and had keen hearing, he probably wouldn't have heard it at all.
Afterwards, Martin said a few more kind words to the door before leaving with a satisfied smile.
Then, he called the housekeeper Lilith and asked her to get ready as he was going to take a bath. Soon, the housekeeper Lilith came to report that she was ready.
After Martin changed his clothes, he went to the bathroom.
Entering the bathroom, the quintuplets saw Martin and all bowed to him.
Then, under the careful care of the maids, Martin slowly stepped into the hot spring pool, stretched his body comfortably, and began to enjoy this rare time of relaxation.
He planned to take a good rest for two days, adjust his condition to the best, and prepare for the breakthrough to the gold rank.
While thinking, Martin selected two maids to stay and asked the rest to leave.
The maids who were asked to leave blushed shyly and looked at their companions who were left behind. Then they took small steps and hurried out of the bath.
For the next hour, the hot springs were filled with steam and heat.
Martin closed his eyes, relaxed, and immersed himself in this soothing and comfortable feeling.
An hour later, he walked out of the hot spring pool feeling energetic and refreshed, and exclaimed sincerely: It seems that I still need to take more baths, the effect is really good.
