Martin slept very soundly. When he opened his eyes, the sunlight had already filtered through the gaps in the curtains, casting bright spots of light on the ground. He looked at the time and found that it was already noon.

He got up bleary-eyed and trudged into the bathroom to wash up. Afterwards, he went to the restaurant and sat down with his family to enjoy lunch.

At the table, everyone chatted with each other, and a warm atmosphere spread. After the meal, Martin checked the time and knew it was time for him to leave. He said goodbye to everyone.

Martin rode his great wildebeest, followed by Eric and Shuang Ning. They passed through the city of the Sword of Promise and successfully joined the Knights who had been waiting outside. With a command, the team marched towards Luoqiu Town.

At dusk, they finally arrived at Luoqiu Town. Martin went straight into the castle, and on the way, he asked Lorga to lead the Knights back to their base.

The guarding knights saluted when they saw Martin coming back.

Martin then called over the housekeeper, Lilith, and said, "Please prepare the bath water for me. I want to take a nice bath." He then turned to Eric and Shuang Ning and said, "You can move around as you please."

Entering the bathroom, Martin sat by the sink, picked up the communication crystal, contacted Yoder and Roland, and told them: "Come see me tomorrow morning."

Soon, the communication crystal began to flash, and the two of them replied to express their understanding.

Martin then contacted Betan and others to inquire about the mining progress: "How is the mining going?"

A reply came from the other end of the communication crystal, which roughly meant that the mine had been almost mined and would be finished in a few days. Currently, only a few magic crystal mines in the middle realm were still being mined, and the mining cycle was still very long.

Martin was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the mineral vein provided by Count Lucy was so huge. He couldn't help but sigh that he owed another favor.

As soon as they put down the communication crystal, the quintuplets walked lightly into the bathroom. They skillfully helped Martin wash up, and then gave him a massage. Their technique was just right, and soon helped Martin dispel all his fatigue.

After some tossing and turning, Martin returned to his bedroom comfortably, lay down on the bed, and soon fell into a sweet dream.

As the morning sun shone into the Luoqiu Town Castle, Yod and Roland were already waiting in the reception room.

The two of them looked respectful and exchanged a few words from time to time, their words full of respect and expectations for Martin.

Martin finished washing up and walked into the living room refreshed. Seeing the two of them, a friendly smile immediately appeared on his face. He greeted them warmly, "You came so early, you must not have had breakfast yet. Let's have something to eat together."

Yoder and Roland had come in a hurry and were indeed hungry, but they did not refuse and happily sat down.

The three of them sat around the table, eating and chatting, the atmosphere harmonious. After the meal, Martin took the two to the study. Martin sat down at the main seat, motioned for Yoder and Roland to sit down as well, and then said seriously, "You two, tell me about your recent situation."

Yoder and Roland exchanged a glance, understanding each other. Yoder stood up first, stepped forward, and respectfully reported, "Master, while you were away, the construction of the city walls and slums has been successfully completed. We are currently preparing to renovate the roads and public areas. Furthermore, the town's taxes have been collected and submitted on time. Also, this is the ore that Betan and the other two dug up."

As he spoke, he handed over seven high-level space rings filled with the proceeds from the mining by Betan and the other two. Martin took the rings, nodded slightly, and motioned for Yoder to leave, then turned his gaze to Roland.

Roland immediately stood up, walked quickly to Martin, and reported respectfully, "Young Master, your dragon knights have been so powerful lately that those nobles who once offended us have been trying to curry favor by transferring some of their properties in Luoqiu Town to us at low prices. Now, our properties account for one-third of the town."

"At this rate, reaching two-thirds won't be a problem in a few months. These businesses have been quite profitable during this period, earning over 130,000 gold coins in total."

Having said this, Roland paused for a moment, a mysterious look on his face. "Also, Master, I spent a lot of money to buy an important piece of information about dragon eggs."

Martin's attention immediately perked up when he heard the word "dragon egg." He had witnessed the Frost Dragon's powerful deterrent power firsthand and understood what having another dragon would mean to him and his territory. He eagerly asked, "Where is the dragon egg?"

Roland replied calmly, "Master, according to intelligence, the dragon egg was found in the Luoqiu Mountains by a mercenary. Strangely, no trace of the mother dragon was found at the scene."

Martin pondered for a moment, then made up his mind: "Regardless of whether the news is true or not, we must go and see this dragon egg. Also, it's time to replenish the Knights of the Order."

Right now in Luoqiu Town, we have enough manpower, but in the Viscount Territory, it’s harder to say.”

Let Roland get to work quickly and prepare the knight armor in the Chamber of Commerce.

Martin planned to go to the Morning Light Chamber of Commerce first, put these armors into the space ring, and then go straight to Sunset Valley to sign contracts with all the people who met the loyalty requirements. As for those who could not be signed, he felt that there was no need to keep them.

Now Martin has decided to focus the development on the Viscount's territory. Luoqiu Town can only be used as a supply base, but the journey is too far and the travel is inconvenient. When daily necessities or other things are used up, they can only be purchased in the Central Territory.

At that time, let Roland set up a branch in the Central Territory and Luoqiu Town respectively, and move the headquarters to his own viscounty in the Western Territory.

After arranging these matters, Martin asked Yoder to take care of the matters at hand. On the way to the castle warehouse, he calmed down and charged the ores in the seven high-level space rings one by one.
