One of the mercenaries couldn't bear the dragon's might and blurted out, "We stole this!"
Upon hearing this, Martin immediately signaled Hefner to put away her dragon power, and then asked, "Stolen? Where did you steal it from?"
The mercenary who spoke looked at the leading mercenary and said through gritted teeth, "We stole it from Count Feiling's transport team."
Martin was startled. Count Feiling? Wasn't he the noble who had been ennobled in the Western Territory along with them? How could he have a dragon egg? Had he discovered a secret realm? But he had never heard of such a thing!
Thinking of this, Martin immediately took out the Shadow Intelligence Guild's communication crystal and dialed. The call was quickly connected, and a voice came over: "What information do you want to buy?"
Martin asked bluntly, "Is there any secret realm in the West?"
Martin waited for a long time before the other party's voice rang out again: "Four hundred and fifty thousand gold coins, I'll tell you."
Martin suddenly had a clue in his mind and thought this was a good bet, so he asked, "Can I buy on credit?" The other party replied unhappily, "No credit at all."
Martin said helplessly: "Then I'll come back to you when I have collected all the gold coins." After that, he hung up the phone, just believing that there might be a secret place in Earl Feiling's territory.
After turning off the communication, Martin then asked for the location and directly asked Hefna to kill these mercenaries. With the full release of Long Wei, these mercenaries were crushed to death.
Martin used the space ring to collect the corpses. After seeing that there was nothing unusual around him, he removed the magic props and watched the barrier disappear while those around him watched.
But they found that only Martin and his group came out. After a lot of discussion, Martin told the patrol team standing outside to deal with it.
The team members began to drive away the crowd of onlookers. Martin didn't want to be the focus anymore, so he took Earl White and the others on the dragon and returned to the castle.
Earl White stayed with Martin for a few more days before deciding to return. Martin, considering the long journey, arranged for Eric to escort Earl White back, and also asked Lika to go with him.
After all, Lucas is in Luoqiu Town, which is some distance away from the Sword Oath City. Once the Sword Oath City encounters a problem, it may be difficult to get support quickly.
Martin introduced Lika's strength to Earl White in detail. After hearing it, Earl White was very surprised. He thought Lika was a sky knight and wanted to persuade Martin to let Lika stay by his side.
However, Martin had his own considerations and did not agree.
Then, Martin turned to Lika and said, "Lika, you will stay in the Earl's Castle from now on. Make sure to protect the safety of my family."
After hearing this, Lika bowed and said, "Master, don't worry. I will protect the safety of your family with my life."
After hearing this, Martin turned to look at Earl White and handed him a space ring. Inside was placed several A-level protective magic props that Roland had recently collected, as well as 300,000 gold coins, more than 50 potions for C-level and B-level knights to practice, and an S-level magic defense bracelet selected for Lady Ellie, asking Earl White to take it to his mother.
Martin handed the ring to Earl White and asked him to accept it. Earl White opened the ring and was surprised to see the gold coins, props and potions inside.
He wanted to decline the generous gift, but seeing the determination in Martin's eyes, he finally accepted it.
The dragon's silhouette was getting farther and farther away. Martin thought: With the two Sky Knights and the people from the Merlin family, there shouldn't be any problem. The Warcraft Knights haven't been formed yet, so we can only wait for a while.
Watching the dragon gradually disappear into the sky, Martin turned and walked back to the castle. He went straight to the castle's training room, opened a bottle of Knight's Primary Potion, drank it all in one gulp, and began training according to the Knight's Guide. Once he had cultivated a trace of Knight's power, he could continue to refine his body, practice independently or take potions, and advance.
As the potion took effect, he began to focus on improving himself, his body gradually surging with strength, becoming stronger and stronger. When the potion's effects wore off, Martin drank another bottle without hesitation and continued to practice.
He practiced with full concentration until night fell. At this time, Martin felt full of strength, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
He called the maid who was guarding the training room and told her to prepare the bath water. After practicing for a while, the maid returned, knocked gently on the door of the training room, and bowed respectfully after entering, telling Martin that the bath was ready.
Martin walked into the bathroom and found the quintuplets of maids already waiting inside. He closed the door, walked to the sink and sat down, waiting for them to come and serve him.
After some relaxation, Martin did not let the five people leave as usual, but instead kept the eldest of the quintuplets. The other four naturally knew what was going to happen next, and their faces flushed and their hearts beat fast as they shyly retreated.
The night was beautiful and the sleepless time passed quietly. The next morning, the sun shone through the window onto the bed. Martin got up refreshed and stretched himself.
He turned his head and looked to his side, only to see the maid's eyelashes trembling slightly, as if she was about to wake up. Martin was in a playful mood and deliberately teased her, and the maid slowly opened her eyes.
Then, the two of them laughed and played around again.
At this time, the housekeeper Lilith came in with the maid. After helping Martin wash up, she took the maid out. Martin knew what Lilith meant and did not stop her.
After washing up and having breakfast, Martin went straight to the study. Inside the study, Martin took out a military map of the Western Territory.
Martin stared at the map, his eyes moving between his own territory and Count Filling's territory.
The two places were quite far apart. He thought for a long time and finally made up his mind to lead only the Dragon Knight Eric, the Sky Knight Betan, and Hefna to the Earl of Feiling's territory this afternoon to find out.
Having made up his mind, Martin immediately picked up the communication crystal and conveyed the decision to everyone, and everyone responded quickly.
Martin immediately threw himself into his duties. An hour later, he shook his aching wrist. Seeing this, the maid beside him kindly brought him a cup of black tea.
Martin took it, took a sip, and then his eyes fell on the maid and asked, "How is your elder sister now?" The maid quickly responded, "Master, my elder sister is resting after drinking the medicine."
Martin nodded slightly and asked again: "Does she hate me?"
After hearing this, the maid hurriedly shook her head and said anxiously, "Master, my sister and I don't hate you. We are already very satisfied to live the life we have now."
After hearing this, Martin drank a sip of tea and asked the maid to leave.
