Martin had been up all night, and his face was full of fatigue, with dark circles under his eyes and a sleepy look.
On the other hand, the Knights and Betan were still full of energy and showed no signs of fatigue.
At daybreak, without the burden of slaves, the group sped up their journey and arrived safely at Luoqiu Town. Upon hearing his men report the arrival of Martin and the others, the mayor hurriedly rose from his warm bed.
With the careful service of the mayor's wife, he hurriedly put on his clothes and hurried towards where Martin was in a panic.
Martin was so sleepy that his eyelids were drooping and he was almost asleep. He forced himself to endure the fatigue and asked Betan to find a good hotel nearby.
After entering the room, he didn't even bother to wash up. He fell headfirst onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
When the mayor arrived, he met Betan and his party. When he learned that Martin had already gone to bed, he did not return but stayed. He also hurriedly ordered his men to prepare sumptuous food for these noble knights.
After the knights had properly placed the shadow wolves, they gathered around the dining table and feasted on the delicious food. No one dared to touch these valuable shadow wolves until Martin woke up.
Time passed quietly, and soon it was afternoon. Martin slowly opened his eyes, stretched comfortably in bed, and sat up. After washing up, he walked out of the room.
Outside the door, Betan, with his sharp eyes, saw Martin walking out of the room at a glance and immediately saluted respectfully.
Martin nodded slightly in response. He asked, "Where are the Shadow Wolves now?"
Betan quickly replied: "Sir, the shadow wolves are in the backyard and are being guarded by a team of knights." As he said that, he led Martin to the backyard.
When he arrived at the backyard, Martin saw the team members guarding the magic cage, which was specially moved from the slave market by the mayor.
Shadow wolves are rare commodities. If someone has bad intentions and takes risks, it is safest to keep them under close watch.
Martin walked to the cage and ordered Betan to prepare 10 portions of food so that the shadow wolves could eat and drink well.
Not long after, Betan and the mayor arrived together, bringing a message from the count, asking Martin to return to the castle as soon as possible after finishing his work here.
Betan followed the instructions and placed the food in the bowls in front of the shadow wolves one by one. When they had almost finished eating, he would take the food back to the family and hand it over to the family caravan to be transported to the capital for sale. This way, he would definitely be able to get a higher price.
Martin used the system to check the loyalty of Betan and others and found that everyone's loyalty was over 60, which was good news.
The mayor waited until Betan had finished signing the contract, then cautiously said to Martin, "Master Martin, would you like to prepare some food so that you can finish your meal before returning to the castle?"
Martin was so worried that Shadow Wolf was hungry that after the mayor reminded him, he finally felt his stomach rumbling with hunger.
So, with the mayor's thoughtful arrangement, the group had a hearty meal and prepared to return to the castle.
On the way back to the castle, Martin looked at the gold coins he had left and calculated in his heart that even if he added the gold coins given by Mrs. Ellie, it would still be far from enough to upgrade ten people.
However, he was not in a hurry, thinking that after selling the Shadow Wolf, he should have a little more money on hand.
He knew clearly that it would cost 100 gold coins to upgrade a knight's squire to a Black Iron Knight, 500 gold coins to upgrade to a Bronze Knight, and 5,000 gold coins to upgrade to a Silver Knight. The cost of future upgrades would only increase accordingly.
After returning to the Sword Oath City, Betan and others returned to the guards' residence, and the knight team returned to the barracks.
Martin first went to see Earl White, and the two talked for a long time. No one knew what they talked about. But when Martin came out of the Earl's room, he had a smile on his face, and it was obvious that the conversation was quite pleasant.
Martin was walking on the way to his mother, Mrs. Ellie's residence. When he passed the corner corridor, he saw a familiar figure reading a book attentively. It was his third brother Wayne.
Wayne now possesses the strength of a knight's squire, and can be said to be on par with his elder brother. Remember, he is one year younger than his elder brother.
With such achievements at only 17, Wayne's talent is truly astonishing. As long as he doesn't suffer an unforeseen demise during his training, reaching the level of a Golden Knight is a sure thing. (Note: In this world, one can only begin cultivating Knight power or magic after reaching adulthood at 16, with the exception of specialized professions.)
