Because Hilda's body could not carry two people, two horses, and full equipment, they had to return to Schwartenen the same way. On the way www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion Salian said to Hilda, who was riding with him.

"Little baby, all the materials you said need to change my physique are all ready!"

"Haha, that's right, we'll do it right away when we get back to the castle, and besides, I've reached the baby dragon stage now, and I'm more sure than before!"

A few days later, in Yulia's alchemy laboratory, Hilda set up the elaborate vessel of the Stone Spirit Clan on the stove, put all the materials that Salian had worked so hard to gather, and then sealed the container. After a whole day and a night of refining, the vessel finally burst open under the pressure inside, and Hilda took out a transparent crystal full of energy.

"That's it! As long as you eat this crystal, and then use my power to help you combine the crystal dragon heart you swallowed in the territory of the Stone Spirit Clan last time, you will be able to have a normal-level space-time magic affinity. ”

The Black Dragon Maiden suddenly remembered something, and then said happily: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I still have good news! After the transformation, my strength has increased greatly, and I have finally broken through the soul defense line of the crystal dragon, and I also know the location of her treasure house." ”

"So we can make a windfall!?"

"That's it, hahahaha!"

The terrible laughter of the two made the crows around the castle fly away in fright.

In order to avoid being disturbed, Salian and Hilda went to the underground of Stlingenburg to work on magic in the lord's secret study. The walls of the study were soundproofed to keep out the howls of Salian for a moment, even though his reputation was already poor.

The next day, when Salian reappeared in front of Aphroa, he showed off the results of his overnight rebirth, a tempering that would make even a terrifying knight known for his willpower painful. The cat-eared girl found that his lord was able to teleport with a sudden change of direction.

"Hey, my little kitten, what do you think!"

"Amazing, Brother Salian!" the orc girl applauded heartily.

"Oh, the hard work is not in vain, I was originally familiar with the spells of elementary to intermediate space-time magic with Professor Scottino in the academy, and now I can really use it!haha!"

Although Duke New Mark can only teleport within three meters for the time being, and he can't use magic continuously without Mana's reserves, the fact that he can cast space-time magic is a qualitative leap in itself.

In the evening, in the secret weapons showroom, Salian took out Herman's shield and took a serious look at it. This treasure has changed hands countless times over the millennia, and many of them have not been able to grasp the mysteries of it, and Salian will not be arrogant enough to think that he can succeed easily.

"The only thing I know now is that she can't be destroyed at all, which is probably the reason why she has been able to circulate for so many years, right?!"

Salian simply scanned the entire shield and then pulled out his full set of blacksmith tools, which he attached to the shield with a modern upgrade kit that added secondary fire and spear grooves on the top of the shield, a newly designed, ergonomic grip, and a large serrated metal grip at the base of the shield.

After a while, this ancient shield turned into a new serrated hook shield with a sense of technology, but the emblem of the god of thunder still remained in the center of the shield. In this way, no matter how knowledgeable anyone who sees it, will not be aware that it is one of the oldest sacred relics of the Tutonians. Salian could take him with him and study it slowly.

When the day came, Salion, who had spent a few days in his castle, hospitted two friends with hospitality, and Manstel knew the perfect actions of Viscount von Barenberg, because Salian had seen it with his own eyes. But he knew nothing about what was going on with Echelin.

"Haha, dear Aicherin, your task seems to be very difficult, why are you missing an eye!"

"Big brother, I almost risked my life for that share of gold. ”

"Well, it doesn't matter, just get used to it, there will be more such things in the future, I am convinced of this!"

Our lovely Imperial Count von Altmannshofen was now a little hideous, with a scar on his face that looked shocking from the top of his left eye to the left cheek, and his left eye was gone, leaving only a hollow gap. Salian considered that he could take Echelin with him when he negotiated with others in the future, and used it to overwhelm his opponent in momentum.

Relying on the deposit paid by Tolanny to Salian and the gold reserves left by the Duke of New Mark himself in Stlingenburg, he first took out 100,000 guilders of gold and distributed them, Manstel got 33,000, and Salian took out part of his due, a total of 40,000 gold coins to Elsherin, leaving himself 27,000, and Achelin was grateful to Salian.

Of course, the rest of Miss Lantony's remuneration was a matter of discussion between Salian and Max on how to divide it.

After counting the gold coins, a smiling Manstel said to his friends.

"Dear friends, I am going to be married next year to Miss Rena von Hintentengen, granddaughter of the Duke of Wienria, and while I was sending a token of love to Gonzalo I, my own messenger had completed the task, and Miss Rena had already agreed to my proposal. ”

"Congratulations, Manstel, isn't Miss Rena the cousin of Miss Garonay we met at the Duke's reception!?"

"You've got a good memory, Salian, it's her!"

Of course, Salian's memory of the beauty is good, and what happened to Manstall and Miss Rena that night, Salian guessed it at the time. But I didn't expect Manstel to be so obsessed with this beauty, maybe there were other political aspects, but in any case, this marriage was beneficial to their faction.

"Brother, what are your eyes?" said "After talking about his own happiness, of course, he also had to take care of the others. Manstel still cares about his friends.

"Hey, I took my men to disguise themselves as bandits to ambush the Marquis de Rhitsion in the messenger procession, things started very well, we took advantage of his unpreparedness to kill several people, but I didn't expect the marquis himself to be in the team, he and some of his men are all hard stubble, all Radiant Knights and Paladins, and the wound on my face was caused by the Marquis with his sword. ”

"But in the end you got there, dear Acherin. ”

"Oh, that's for sure, the Marquis had one of his hands cut off by my axe!" and had to flee in embarrassment!" said Acherin, smiling proudly.

"Haha, I think he's regretting proposing to His Highness Lydia!"

At the end of the assignment, Salian left two friends for dinner and set out on the way back to school. Hilda had nothing to do, so she followed Salian to school, and this time with Hilda's help, it was much easier to climb Mars Mountain. Yes, Hilda flew directly with Salian, and Duke New Mark's dream of becoming a dragon knight finally came true.

"Once I have learned the technique of teleporting circles, I can build more in my territory, which is really convenient. Salian grabbed the bare spine (characteristic of a black dragon) on Hilda's back and said to her.

"It's said to cost a lot of money and it's expensive to maintain. ”

"For strategic reasons, the money that should be spent is still spent. ”

In that small forest, Salian crushed the small piece that was used as a token, and after a short teleportation circle, he sent the two of them back to the corner tower north of the school.

"Your Excellency Duke, you returned a week earlier than scheduled, and you actually brought such a beautiful sister with you!"

Kaz wondered why Salian was pursuing Miss Lil when there was already such a first-class beauty.

Salian read the innocent boy's heart, and he asked kindly, "Oh, little one, you have a lot of ideas!

"Ahaha, how can it be, Your Excellency Duke, I keep an eye on Miss Lil for you!"

"Daddy, who is this little thing?" asked Hilda, curious.

"Just a small agent, in the service of many!" replied Salian lightly.

"Oh, who is that Miss Lille?" asked Hilda.

"A girl from the kingdom of François, whose beauty is comparable to yours. ”

"yes, I'd like to see it, Dad, I want to study in the academy too!"

"Well, you have the most credit for this time, and you deserve to spend this little tuition. ”

After some haggling between father and daughter, Salian spoke to Kaz again.

"Oh, I see that your tone just now doesn't seem to be very resolute, what the hell is going on!"

"Your Excellency, I don't dare to hide from you, in fact, a new male student came to the academy a week ago, and he launched a powerful attack on Miss Lil. ”

"Daddy, a rival has appeared!" said Hilda, with her usual attitude of not wanting to overdo it.

"Who is so bold!"

"I have inquired, and his name is Raval de Richon, a marquis from François. ”

"Oh, Dad, I think I heard you mention that name the other day. ”

"Hmph, then I'm more willing to deal with him and avenge Aicherin!"

Salian gave Kaz a double-faced pistol, equivalent to two gold florins, and the boy hurriedly put away the money and said no more.

They then followed Kaz back to Tolani's office.

"There's a Florin here, take it, don't tell a word about what you've seen today. ”

"I understand, Miss Lantony. Kaz left happily with the gold coins, and the boy had gained a lot today, enough for him to live comfortably for three months, and even to win the hearts of several little girls.

"Congratulations, Your Excellency, for the successful completion of the contract!

"She is my adopted daughter, Hilda von Hohenstringen, and Miss Lantoni di Varno, Finance Officer and Professor of Economics at the Academy. And, of course, one of our financiers. ”

After the two girls greeted each other, they found that each other was a girl with a black belly, and they immediately felt a sense of intimacy. Lantony was very supportive of Shirda's desire to study, and immediately handled the enrollment procedures for her, and the tuition fees were directly deducted from Salian's commission. As a superficial dark magician, Hilda became classmates with Teresa.

"Miss Lantony, I almost lost my life for your sugar!"

"Your Excellency, the higher the risk, the greater the gain, you are now a nobleman of the Kingdom of Toledo, Your Excellency Count St. Valentine, am I right?"

"Hehe, you're really well-informed, but I think your affairs are far from over, right?! Now that I have accepted the title, you can tell me any difficulties in the future!"

"Thank you so much, Lord Duke!"

That night, Salian took Hilda, Yulia, and Teresa to dinner, and the original little girl turned out to be a girl of their age, and Salian's two sorceresses were shocked by the change in Silda.
