The two chatted for a while, and Martin planned to leave with some of the treasure that had been counted and the five dragon eggs.
Eric, Shuang Ning, and Lucas all wanted to follow Martin. Martin nodded and said, "Eric and Shuang Ning, follow me. Lucas, continue with your previous tasks. Don't let up at all."
Lucas immediately obeyed the order, saluted respectfully, and shouted loudly: "Loyalty!"
Afterwards, the group walked out of the city defense camp.
On the way, Martin gave the five dragon eggs to Hefna for safekeeping. As for the other treasures, he recharged them all into the system.
Afterwards, everyone headed towards Yulong City.
Along the way, Martin looked at the newly built or renovated buildings on both sides of the street and nodded with satisfaction, thinking to himself that Yoder was indeed reliable.
They walked and stopped, seeing the Royal Dragon City which had expanded several times in size. Martin knew that Yoder had been doing his best to complete the tasks assigned to him during this period, and he was thinking about giving him some rewards later to boost his morale.
At this moment, two sharp sounds of breaking through the air suddenly rang out.
Eric reacted extremely quickly, instantly blocking in front of Martin and taking the sudden attack head-on.
Eric then unleashed his domain power without hesitation. The next second, the figures of two legendary dwarf assassins appeared in the void.
Their eyes were filled with disbelief. They looked at Eric in disbelief and squeezed out two words with difficulty: "Domain..."
Just as Eric was about to kill them, Martin called out to him.
Martin was thinking about trying out that function of the system at this moment.
Because the incident happened so suddenly and the reaction speed was so fast, the surrounding castle knights didn't have time to react at all.
When they saw two figures appearing out of thin air, they realized that their lord had been attacked by an assassin, and they all fell to their knees with a plop.
Seeing this, Martin said to the group of kneeling knights, "I will punish you by not allowing you to have dinner today. Okay, everyone, get up."
The knights kneeling on the ground looked at each other, then looked at Martin, and then stood up one by one.
The people around were confused and had no idea what was happening or why these knights were kneeling down.
Some people speculated that they might have done something to anger the lord.
After this incident, Martin suddenly lost interest in continuing to shop.
He glanced at the two dwarf assassins who were firmly imprisoned by Eric's domain, and immediately ordered the knights who were leading the way in front to turn around and return to the castle.
After receiving the order, the knights stopped strolling around leisurely as before and quickly changed their route according to Martin's instructions. Not long after, they returned to the castle.
As soon as they entered the castle, Martin immediately took Eric and others straight to the basement.
When they got to the basement, Martin asked Eric to beat the two assassins to a pulp without hesitation. He planned to try to absorb their extraordinary powers.
Eric obeyed the order and quickly beat one of the dwarven assassins to death. Martin saw this and immediately started the system to absorb and feed the energy back to himself.
However, the result disappointed him greatly, as the feedback energy was pitifully small.
Martin was confused and quickly asked the system the reason.
The system responded: "Host, in the process of inputting energy into the host's body, the system needs to consume energy to convert the violent energy into gentle energy so that the host can absorb it smoothly. Therefore, the energy ultimately fed back to the host will be greatly reduced."
Martin was speechless when he heard this and complained, "Isn't this too little?"
He secretly estimated that even if he absorbed all the energy of these two legendary assassins, he could only push his own strength to the peak of gold, which was really not cost-effective.
However, as the dwarf assassin's energy was drained, his wails gradually weakened, and he died after a while.
The other assassin's eyes widened with fear when he saw this. He had only seen this strange energy extraction in ancient books. It was the signature move of the Dark Empire, extracting energy to strengthen itself.
Just as the assassin was thinking about it, Martin looked at him. Eric understood what he meant and prepared to attack the assassin.
The dwarf assassin was trapped in Eric's territory, his body functions were restricted, and even speaking became extremely difficult. He could only utter a few words intermittently.
Fortunately, the lowest level of strength among those present was at least gold level, and they had sharp hearing, so they could barely hear what the dwarf assassin said.
Martin checked the system and found that the loyalty displayed on the assassin's head was about forty.
Seeing this, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind. He thought that perhaps there was another way to deal with this dwarf assassin - to subdue him, use him to stage an "Infernal Affairs" and plant him as a spy in the dwarf kingdom.
In this way, when we attack the Dwarf Kingdom in the future, we can use this insider to obtain some intelligence, and we can also assassinate the Dwarf King at any time.
After thinking for a moment, Martin walked over to the dwarf assassin, leaned over and asked, "Do you want to live?"
The assassin struggled to squeeze out a word: "I want to."
Martin continued, "Then convince yourself that you are completely loyal to me. If you do that, I will let you go. You only have ten minutes. If you still haven't convinced yourself by the time the time is up, don't blame me for being rude."
After saying that, Martin recharged the system with valuable items from the body of the assassin who had been killed, and put the body into the space ring.
Inadvertently, he saw the number representing loyalty above the dwarf assassin's head jumping back and forth, sometimes in the forties, sometimes in the sixties, and sometimes in the fifties. It was obvious that the assassin was struggling internally.
Ten minutes flew by in a flash. Martin looked up and saw the number above the assassin's head barely reached fifty. He shook his head. Then, Martin walked up to the assassin again and asked, "Why, is there something you can't let go of?"
After that, he motioned Eric to come closer so that Eric could loosen the force that was restraining the assassin's mouth so that he could speak.
As soon as his mouth was freed, the assassin begged for mercy: "Sir, I am completely loyal to you and have absolutely no second thoughts!"
Martin sneered after hearing this. Putting aside the idea that the system could indicate loyalty, even without it, he wouldn't trust the assassin's change of attitude.
However, Martin still spoke: "No matter who or what you are obsessed with, tell me now, are you willing to be loyal to me wholeheartedly?"
"I'll count to three. If you still haven't convinced yourself by then, I'll send you to join your recently deceased companion."
"Three", "two", "one", after Martin finished counting, he looked at the top of the assassin's head, and the number was still in the fifty-something.
Martin shook his head in disappointment and winked at Eric, indicating that he could take action.
Just as Eric was about to strike, the assassin's loyalty level suddenly soared to 60. Martin saw this and immediately stopped him: "Stop!"
