Silo also responded gently to this.

However, his pair of dragon eyes glanced to the side unconsciously.

A middle-aged man who claimed to be the envoy of Marquis Dorian.

To be more precise, it was the figure in silver armor next to the envoy.

Compared to the last time they met, he no longer had the dragon-slaying weapon in his hand...

"Your Excellency Silo, do you recognize us?"

Next to him, the rather well-dressed messenger smiled softly.

"That's right. Two and a half years later, I didn't expect to see you again in this form."

Silo nodded slightly at this.

He was not afraid of the two people around him.

After all, this is his territory. In addition to his own dragon, there is also a level 14 paladin, level 13 priest and a group of soldiers.

Even if the two of them had dragon-slaying weapons and knew their origins, they would not dare to take action.

After all, his apparent identity is that he is Lord Alice’s life-saving dragon, a big benevolent dragon!

"We didn't expect it either.

But now, all of them are under the command of Marquis Dorian.

If you have the opportunity in the future, you can have more contact with me."

The messenger smiled and suddenly pulled out a black card from the space ring in his hand and handed it to Silo.

"This is?"

"I think Mr. Xiluo is a dragon that doesn't want to be lonely, right?

You should have a wider, more fertile land, rather than being tied down to this small territory.

This is the invitation card from Lord Marquis. You can come to O'Mara if you want.

The Marquis can give you the qualifications and rights to expand territory to surrounding or enemy countries through cooperation.

We will also lend you soldiers and equipment. Of course, you can discuss the details with the Marquis in person."

The messenger replied.

"roar?"

Silo was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Marquis was so optimistic about him?

He was given the qualifications to go on an expedition and was willing to lend troops.

But what is the price... exactly?

Doesn’t this Marquis rely on this to increase business income?

Thinking about the previous borrowing of troops to conquer the Green Forest.

Silo always feels that the price is not small.

Of course, he had no intention of dealing with people he didn't understand.

When the nobles around him heard this, they all looked envious.

No matter what, this represents the Marquis's regard. For ordinary small nobles and small lords, it is a great honor.

"Your Majesty the Marquis may have some misunderstandings about me. I, Silo Utraxis, just want to live a normal life in dragon life and be able to coexist peacefully with others. This has always been my ideal.

It is not my wish to expand territory, attack others, etc., but no matter what, I accepted the Marquis's kindness."

There was a trace of embarrassment on Xiluolong's face, but he finally accepted it reluctantly.

"It doesn't matter, no matter what, you will also be Lord Alice's benefactor and a member of Nile City.

I hope you have a pleasant stay here." The other party responded gently.

Then he turned his attention to the stands again.

The inheritance ceremony was quickly completed.

After that, the lord still needs to ride a horse to patrol the city for a day. These are troublesome things. Silo and the paladin Andy accompany him.

The busy work didn't end until evening, and we returned to the castle together.

I just met Butler Andre.

Silo said impatiently:

"Butler Andre! Where is the treasury of the old lord of the previous generation? Since Alice has inherited the position of lord, she should naturally take a good look at the property she currently owns, so that she can better plan for the future."

"Well..."

When the old housekeeper heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Alice.

"Mr. Silo is right. Let's go to the treasury and see how much property my father has left behind."

The new female lord, who couldn't hide her beauty in a formal dress, nodded gently.

"Then you two, please come with me."

The old housekeeper nodded.

Together with Yilong and one person, they came to a spacious basement.

There are a bunch of silver coins, gold coins, and several weapon racks with more than a dozen weapons and armors placed on them.

Silo stepped forward, swept away the piled gold and silver coins, and roughly estimated them with his eyes.

There are about two thousand gold coins.

There are more than a dozen weapons, but they are not particularly powerful equipment.

It's more like an antique with some collectible value, but it's not worth much, probably only more than a hundred gold coins.

A lord in charge of a city with a population of 70,000 to 80,000 people only has 2,000 gold coins in his treasury?

This is less than expected.

Silla's eyebrows frowned unconsciously.

Probably sensing Sillot's thoughts, the old housekeeper whispered to the side:

"Your Excellency Silo, Miss Alice, you don't know something.

For now, the territory's taxes are collected by the tax collector, but in the future, this tax will be divided into two parts.

Part of it is sent directly to the lord's castle.

Another part will be sent to the Department of Internal Affairs, which will be distributed and distributed to pay officials, soldiers and a series of other expenses."

"Home officer and tax collector?"

Hear about both posts.

Silo was stunned, thinking of Tai Lung's dinner party a few days ago, and couldn't help but ask:

"Are they dead now?"

"The internal affairs officer escaped by chance, but the tax collector is dead." The old housekeeper sighed.

"This time, too many officials have died. Please ask Miss Alice to issue a decree early tomorrow and hire some people to replace the deceased people. Otherwise, if time goes by, chaos may occur in the city."

"I know how to do it, but I didn't understand many things when I first took over as the lord..." the mixed-race man said with some worry.

"The internal affairs officer and Andy Paladin will teach you." The old butler comforted.

Silo was not in a hurry to touch this gold coin afterwards.

Well... at least it was inconvenient to move in front of the old housekeeper, so he and the two of them exited the vault.

Then he rested with the half-breed.

Silo had just fallen asleep.

He once again entered the mysterious sea.

[Dragon behind the scenes]: You become the dragon behind the scenes of a lord and the actual controller of a territory. 5 achievement points are awarded.

Current achievement points: 30

"Finally collected 30 achievement points!"

Silo looked at this line of bold words, took a deep breath, and looked happy.

Then he couldn't help but cast his gaze downwards.

[Gluttonist]: Your food intake will be greatly increased. When paired with [Rapid Growth], the body's growth rate can be further enhanced. (Consumption of 30 achievements)

[Spell Genius]: You are born with a strong talent. When learning spells and improving spells, you have special understanding and understanding. (Consumption of 60 achievements)

Which of these two should be exchanged?

Silo couldn't help but think.
To be continued...
