Martin immediately placed the evil spirit near Dragon Cliff and specially set aside a large area for it to live.
Afterwards, he sent a message to Roland through the communication crystal, asking him to deliver meat to the palace's breeding area continuously from now on, and to vigorously develop livestock breeding.
After arranging all this, Martin came to the area designated for the evil spirits.
On the outskirts of the area, a group of court knights are stationed on high alert. They are responsible for the delivery of meat, while there are also dedicated personnel to handle chores such as cleaning.
As soon as Martin arrived at the door, the court knights saluted in unison. Martin nodded slightly and walked straight in.
After entering the area, Martin found that the environment inside had undergone earth-shaking changes.
The original palace has been demolished and replaced by a building built according to the gods' preferences.
The architectural shapes were extremely abstract. Martin only took a quick look, then reluctantly looked away and continued walking inside.
The evil god Elodi noticed Martin's arrival, and he quickly rushed out, followed by seven or eight evil god cubs. Each cub was holding a piece of meat and eating it with relish.
Martin immediately issued many prohibitions to the evil god Elodie through his mind, emphasizing that it was absolutely forbidden to eat or harm humans.
After saying this, he looked at the cubs again and pointed at them, indicating that these prohibitions also applied to them, otherwise there would be divine punishment and lightning.
Then, Martin picked up the communication crystal and said, "If anything happens, just call my number and I will contact you."
The evil god Elodie said he understood.
Martin walked around the area again, and after confirming that everything was arranged properly, he prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he specifically called the Knight Commander over and solemnly instructed him, "Instruct the people below clearly that no matter what happens inside, they are not allowed to interfere without authorization. This is a death order. Do you understand?"
The Knight Commander looked solemn and saluted seriously before responding, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will ensure that this message reaches every member of the Knights."
Martin nodded with satisfaction, patted the Knight Commander's shoulder gently, and then turned and left.
After walking out of this area, Martin looked at the sky and saw that it was still some time before nightfall, so he decided to go to the throne room.
Not long after Martin took his seat in the throne room, Roland came to ask for an audience.
Martin was puzzled and guessed that there must be something important, otherwise Roland would not come to him at this time.
Soon, Roland hurried into the throne room.
Seeing how anxious he was, Martin asked, "Roland, what's the rush?"
Roland hesitated for a moment, then said bluntly, "Your Majesty, the standard for each meat delivery has not yet been determined. Currently, most of the meat in the Western Continent of the Empire is supplied to Dragon Cliff and the dragon knights stationed in various places."
"I have come here this time to ask Your Majesty to give me an exact figure for how much meat should be delivered to the brooding area each day, so that I can coordinate and allocate it."
"Currently, the orc and half-orc regions are fully committed to raising livestock, cattle, sheep, and other magical beasts, and they are barely able to maintain their supply. Therefore..."
Having said this, Roland paused.
Martin understood the implication and continued, "So what? Don't hesitate. Just say what you want to say."
Roland smiled sheepishly and said, "Your Majesty, I've heard that there's a place in the southern part of the Northern Continent that's known as the origin of life. The land there is fertile, flat, and open, making it ideal for raising livestock on a large scale."
"Therefore, I would like to request an imperial decree from Your Majesty, hoping to designate that area as a dedicated breeding zone and place it under the jurisdiction of my department. This way, there will be no need to worry about the meat supply."
Martin looked at Roland and asked sharply, "Is there something hidden? Otherwise, with your status as an imperial minister, how could you not get that area?"
"Your Majesty is wise. Yoder has also set his sights on that area and plans to grow crops there, so I have come to complain to Your Majesty."
"Originally, the meat supply was barely maintainable, but Your Majesty requested in your communication that meat be continuously delivered to the brooding area of the Imperial Palace. I discussed this with Yoder before coming here, but he refused to agree to cede the land."
"Therefore, I can only implore Your Majesty to grant me that area. This way, the Empire will be able to achieve a self-sufficient meat cycle, eliminating the need to spend extra money on meat purchases, which will save the Empire a significant amount of money."
Martin was silent for a moment after hearing this. Then, in front of Roland, he picked up the communication crystal and summoned Yoder.
After hearing this, Roland thought for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty, shall I take my leave first?"
Martin simply gestured for him to wait on the side.
Joad soon arrived at the throne room under the guidance of the court knights.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Roland. With his quick mind, he guessed the general situation in an instant.
He glanced at Roland calmly, walked forward, and bowed respectfully to Martin.
Martin asked him to tell him the details of the place where life originated in the northern continent.
Yoder thought to himself that this was indeed the case, and then he described the details of the area.
It turned out that the area was originally the territory of the Centaurs. After the Dragonspine Empire captured it, the Centaurs chose to surrender.
The soil here is extremely fertile, not only very suitable for growing crops, but also very suitable for raising livestock.
Yoder fell in love with the land at first sight and planned to grow food here to reduce the number of civilians starving to death across the empire.
After hearing this, Martin fell into deep thought.
Both Yoder and Roland's ideas were correct, and they were both based on the interests of the empire.
Martin's fingers tapped the table subconsciously. After thinking for a long time, he finally said to Roland and Yoder, "Let's give that area to Roland this time. As for the planting area you want, Yoder..."
At this point, the Shadow Hunter quietly appeared from the shadows behind Martin, saluted Martin, and then handed a document to Yoder.
Martin looked at Yoder and said, "This area should be able to roughly meet your needs. After the entire northern continent is recovered, I will compensate you with several other plots of land for growing food."
Yoder was not in a position to open the documents and examine them on the spot, but Roland achieved his goal.
Martin waved at the two of them, signaling them to leave.
Seeing this, the two men immediately bowed respectfully to Martin and then slowly retreated.
Martin looked at the two people who were fighting and pulling each other after leaving the throne room, and couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
