The two chatted for a while, and when they saw that they had almost understood each other, Martin let Roland leave the space ring and left.
Holding the space ring, he thought for a moment and sent a message to Yoder, asking him to properly arrange the students and teachers of the magic academy, and those magicians who did not belong to the Merlin family.
Make them sign a contract, promising to train a sufficient number of magicians within five years, otherwise the number of years will continue to accumulate.
Yoder quickly sent a communication to express that he understood. After reading it, Martin put the space ring into his own advanced space ring and directly recharged the system, and the recharge was completed quickly.
[Host: Martin]
【System level: Level 3】
[Current Level: Silver Knight]
[Sworn Guards: 7,213]
[Contracted Dragons: Four, Dragonmen: Thirty-six]
Energy Reserve: 25,235,132
Martin stared at the energy panel, and the numbers displayed on it made him feel something.
Adding the current energy with the energy of the four legendary dwarf space rings, it is more than 20 million.
He couldn't help but think to himself that it seemed that Roland had really been attentive during this period and had intentionally stored a large amount of magic ore in advance, which led to such a considerable accumulation of energy.
However, when Martin's gaze shifted to the number of sworn guards, the expression on his face gradually became solemn, and then he sighed helplessly.
He knew in his heart that it would no longer be realistic to upgrade the weaker slaves on a large scale and make them join the Oath-sworn Guards.
As Martin dealt with increasingly powerful forces, the less powerful Oath Guards could no longer meet his needs for territory defense and expansion.
However, given the current state of the territory, it simply couldn't afford the salaries of multiple legions. After all, the territory's foundation was too weak. With no other options, Martin could only make do for the time being.
Afterwards, Martin took out the communication crystal of the Shadow Intelligence Guild and asked them for information about the existence of dragons in the Kingdom of Charlemagne.
Not long after, the Shadow Intelligence Guild sent a response. Martin clicked on it, but found that it was not intelligence content, but a bill - the bill for intelligence expenses worth three million gold coins.
Martin suddenly remembered this.
Everyone is in urgent need of money now. After thinking for a moment, Martin decided to make the call.
This time, a young girl answered the phone. She said crisply, "Grand Duke Martin, are you ready to pay me back?"
Martin was silent for a while after hearing this, and then he said, "Can I owe you money first and pay you back later?"
The girl was not polite at all and responded directly: "Grand Duke Martin, you are not going to default on your debt, are you?"
After hearing this, Martin was speechless. How could he say what was in his heart?
But he wouldn't admit it outright, and immediately retorted, "What are you talking about? I'm not the kind of person who wouldn't pay you back. It's just that cash flow is really tight right now. I'll definitely pay you back later. As the Lord of the Western Territory, how could I possibly need this little money from your organization?"
The girl was clearly not one to be easily brushed off. Without hesitation, she responded, "I can't make the decision on this matter. How about I put you through to our leader and you talk to him directly?"
Martin thought for a moment and felt that there might be room for negotiation with the leader, so he replied, "Yes, sure."
Soon, an old and slightly majestic voice came from the communication crystal: "Hello, Grand Duke Martin, I am the president of the Shadow Espionage Guild. Xiaoyi has already told me about your debt, so it's okay to pay it back later."
Martin heard this and quickly said, "President, you are very reasonable."
Then, Martin asked again: "Do you know the information I wanted before?"
The president didn't say much and directly sent the intelligence content. After a brief chat with Martin, he hung up the call.
Martin looked at the intelligence he had obtained, sighed secretly, and thought helplessly in his heart: Oh! This president is really an old fox. He was originally planning not to return the money, but now it seems that he has to pay it back. After all, his face is there!
Then, Martin focused his attention on the information displayed by the communication crystal, which was quite rich in content.
Among them, there are two clues about dragons. One is a dragon with legendary strength, and the other is a dragon with sky combat power. The rest are mostly sub-dragons.
After thinking for a moment, Martin decided to let Hefna take him to the eternal wilderness of the Middle Realm.
Although Hefna had never been to this place, after several careful positioning attempts, she finally succeeded in bringing Martin there.
The two came to the Eternal Wilderness. Martin looked at the map in his hand, comparing it with the information in the communication crystal, and stopped and walked along the way.
Finally, they arrived at the habitat of the gem dragon.
Entering the dragon cave, he found that the gem dragon was not inside. Martin did not care much and immediately put the piles of gold coins and other valuables in the dragon cave into his space ring.
At this moment, a deafening dragon roar suddenly sounded, and the roar was filled with heart-wrenching pain.
Martin initially thought that the dragon was injured. However, the next second, he saw a gem dragon rushing over as fast as the wind. Judging from its posture, it seemed that it was not injured.
Hefna reacted quickly, instantly transforming into a giant dragon and using her powerful strength to control the mad gem dragon.
The sapphire dragon stared at its empty cave, roaring more and more sadly, wanting to break free and fight the human in front of it, but Hefna was holding it tightly, making it unable to move at all.
Seeing this, Martin felt a little bit reluctant, so he took out the Dragon Taming Ring and used the power of a knight to control the gem dragon.
As the halo emitted by the Dragon Servant Ring gradually sank into the dragon's body, the Gem Dragon quickly stopped struggling.
Martin signaled Hefna to release her control over it, and Hefna let go of the Gem Dragon as he was told.
Immediately afterwards, Martin quickly signed a contract with the Gem Dragon and consumed 5.25 million energy to successfully promote it to the legendary level.
In this way, Martin waited patiently for three days, and the strength of the Gem Dragon finally stabilized.
There was a flash of light, and the Gem Dragon transformed into a human form, becoming a young man.
Seeing this, Martin released the Dragon Servant Ring. Unexpectedly, the moment the young man regained his freedom, he immediately hugged Martin's legs and cried out in tears, "Master, can you please return my gold coins to me? I really can't live without them!"
After saying that, she cried heartbrokenly, as if she had lost the most important thing in her life.
Martin really didn't expect that this gem dragon was so obsessed with gold coins.
After thinking for a moment, he took out all the gold coins he had just put into the space ring and returned them to the Gem Dragon. Then, Martin asked, "What's your name?"
The young man sobbed and replied, "Call me Gold Coin." Martin couldn't help but frown and was speechless after hearing this.
