When Silo woke up again.

It was shaken awake by Alice.

He turned his head to look out the window in confusion, and it was dark.

"It's not dawn, why did you wake me up?"

Siloh looked at the half-breed who was already dressed next to him and couldn't help but ask.

"It was Uncle Andy's men who had come to invite us to the castle, and they would have to ask us face to face if something so big happened today.

Mr. Silo should hurry up and come with me.

The people outside are almost in a hurry. ”

Alice replied.

"What an impatient."

Silo muttered helplessly, straightened up from the ground, hunched over like a cat, and stretched his waist.

Some lazily walked out the door with Alice.

A group of knights and soldiers with torches had already gathered here.

When they saw Silo and Alice appear, they breathed a sigh of relief.

The leading knight was the first to arrive at the present, and looked at Silo and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Lord Silo...... After listening to my report, Mr. Andy must ask me to bring you and Alice with me. ”

"Forget it, I don't blame you for this, let's go."

Silo was not angry at these little things either.

Just follow along with a quick trip to the castle.

Just reached.

Silo saw Andy, a paladin with a gloomy face, standing at the gate of the castle with a group of people.

Don't wait for the other person to speak first.

Xiluo said:

"You should have confirmed what happened with those two guys, right? I'm not lying. ”

"It's confirmed, I didn't expect Tyrone, who is usually silent, to do such a thing, killing his brother and killing his brother, just like a beast!"

Paladin Andy sighed.

Generally, the sons and daughters of the nobility compete with each other for power and profit, and even the final victor rarely wields a butcher's knife at the loser.

Most of them just take away everything from the other party and then exile, and some of them are more generous, and they will even arrange to be a small lord in some small town below them.

Originally, he thought that these three brothers would be like this, but he didn't expect to kill each other directly.

"Your Excellency Lord, you know?" Receiving a reply, Silo couldn't help but ask again.

"He got it...... It's impossible to hide this kind of thing.

I can't last a few days, and now I'm afraid I can't see the sun tomorrow.

I'm waiting for you here, just to let you see him one last time.

Go ahead...... Miss Alice, go and see your father one last time. ”

The paladin looked at the half-blood girl and whispered.

His face was full of melancholy and helplessness.

"Father!"

Alice exclaimed in a low voice and rushed into the castle with a sad expression.

Silo immediately hurried to follow.

Once again, Alice went to the old lord's room.

This old man is much worse than the last time I saw him, as if he will die at any moment.

I can't get out of bed and walk around at all.

He could only stretch out his hand and whisper Alice's name, let her come to the bedside, take her hand, and explain what happened.

Siloh listened silently on the side.

It is nothing more than to put the position of lord in the hands of Alice, and ask her to listen to Andy well, saying how reliable Andy is, and how he can assist her well in the future.

and so on.

This kind of talk lasted for about ten minutes.

Finally, the old lord gave Alice a platinum-gold ring, told her that it was a symbol of the Neet, and swallowed his last breath.

Alice then burst into tears.

The door was pushed open, and Andy, the paladin, and Andre, the old butler, entered.

Observe a moment of silence for the dead old lord and comfort Alice as she weeps bitterly.

Silo just watched silently.

Been waiting on the side.

Wait until the next morning.

The three sons of the lord all died of cannibalism, and the old lord couldn't stand the blow and was angry to death, and finally the news of Alice succeeding to the throne began to spread in the city.

A few kilometers outside the Nile.

A figure in a black robe looked at the city in the distance with an annoyed expression, gritted his teeth and said:

"Damn it! Finally investigate the location of the Ring of Desire, Alexander the Great, the undead demon lord.

It took so much effort to take Tyrone as a disciple, wanting to wait for him to become a lord and rely on his strength to find out the whereabouts of the ring.

As a result, when it was about to succeed, it fell short!

Damn the Blue Dragon! Damn Silo Utrasis! I can't spare you! ”

The black-robed figure kept cursing, and the black qi surging all over his body.

It took him half a ring before he regained his composure:

"Are you leaving now? No way! Absolutely not! The Ring of Desire is a legendary treasure, and having it is equivalent to having the opportunity to become a legend, and I must not give up!

Now the gray leaves.

Thirty years later, when the Undead Demon Lord will recover, everything here will turn into a dead realm and become a paradise for the undead.

Even if I do find it, it won't be something I can get my hands on at all......

I had to find it! Otherwise, my life would have ended here! ”

In the end, the black-robed man's face showed determination.

The figure slowly twisted, and finally disappeared.

A few days later.

The old lord's funeral is over.

The ceremony of succession to the lord began non-stop.

It was presided over by Paladin Andy and Bishop Sivir of the Church of the God of Wealth, who is the main faith of the city.

On the most central platform of the city.

Dressed in pure white armor, Andy, a holy paladin with a holy face.

With a golden glow on both sides of the Sivir sub-station.

Alice, a mixed-race girl, wears a ceremonial dress and receives a congratulatory speech.

There was a group of people gathered in the audience.

The closest to the central location was Silo and some of the nearby noble lords.

Then there are the soldiers who maintain order, and the ordinary people who are separated.

Under the stands.

"Even if Your Excellency is among the dragons, he must be an extremely good dragon.

At a young age, he has outstanding strength, and he is even more courageous and resourceful. ”

"I never thought that I could see a dragon in its true form in a human city, and the relationship between Lord Silo and the people of Nile City is excellent."

"Your Excellency Xiluo, I think our two cities should be able to cooperate more and develop together in the future, what do you think?"

A group of nobles whispered to Silo.

Xiluo also responded mildly to this.

However, his dragon eyes unconsciously glanced to the side.

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

More precisely, it was the figure in silver armor beside the messenger.

Since the last time they met, he didn't have a dragon slaying weapon in his hand......

"Silo, do you recognize us?"

Next to him, the well-dressed messenger smiled lightly.

"Sort of, after two and a half years, I didn't expect to see you again in this form."

Siloh nodded lightly.

is not afraid of the two people around him.

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

The two of them had dragon slaying weapons, and they knew their origins, so they didn't dare to do it.

How to say that his identity on the surface is also the life-saving dragon of Lord Alice, and he is a big drop of good dragon!

"We didn't expect that either.

But now they are all under the command of the Marquis of Dorian.

If you have the opportunity in the future, you can get in touch with it more. ”

The envoy smiled, and suddenly took out a black card from the spatial ring on his hand and handed it to Xiluo.

"What is this?"

"I guess Mr. Silo should be a dragon who is not willing to be lonely, right?

You deserve a larger, more fertile land instead of being tied down to this tiny territory.

This is an invitation card for the Marquis, and you can come to Omara if you wish.

The Marquis can cooperate to grant you the qualifications and rights to expand your territory to surrounding or enemy countries.

And lend you soldiers and equipment, of course, you can go and talk to the Marquis in person. ”

The messenger replied.

"Roar?"

Xiluo was a little surprised, he didn't expect this marquis to be so optimistic about him?

Given the qualifications to go to war, he is also willing to borrow troops.

But the price is ...... How much, exactly?

This marquis, won't rely on this to increase business income?

I think of the previous thing about borrowing troops to go to the green forest.

Silo always felt that the price was not small.

Of course, he didn't even have the idea of dealing with guys he didn't understand.

When the surrounding nobles heard this, they showed envy one by one.

In any case, this represents the importance of the marquis, and it is a great honor for ordinary small nobles and small lords.

"Lord Marquis may have some misunderstandings about me, but I, Silo Utrasis, just want to be plain, ordinary and ordinary to live a dragon life, and to be able to coexist peacefully with people, which has always been my ideal.

It wasn't my will to open up territory and attack others or anything, but in any case, I accepted the kindness of the Marquis. ”

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

"It doesn't matter, no matter what, you will also be the Enlong of Lord Alice in the future, a member of Nile City.

We hope you enjoy your stay here. The other party responded gently.

Then he turned his attention back to the stands.

The succession ceremony was soon completed.

After that, the lord also needs to patrol the city on horseback for a day, which is all troublesome, and Silo and Paladin Andy accompany him.

The busy work was not over until the evening, and we returned to the castle together.

Just met Andrea Butler.

Xiluo was a little impatient and said:

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

"Hmm......"

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

"Mr. Schillo is right, let's go to the vault and see how much of my father's legacy remains."

Dressed in a dress, the new female lord nodded lightly.

"Then come with me, both of you."

The old butler nodded.

With a dragon and a person, they came to a wide basement together.

It contained a pile of silver and gold coins, as well as several weapon shelves, on which were placed more than a dozen weapons and armor.

Siloh stepped forward and swept away the piles of gold and silver coins, making a rough estimate with his eyes.

There were about two thousand gold coins.

A dozen weapons, not particularly powerful equipment.

It's more like an antique with some collectible value, but it's not worth much, and it's estimated that it's more than 100 gold coins.

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

This is less than expected.

Silo's eyebrows furrowed unconsciously.

Probably seeing Xiluo's thoughts, the old butler whispered on the side:

"Lord Silo, Miss Alice, you don't know.

For now, the tax on the territory is collected by the tax collector, but after that, this tax will be divided into two parts.

Some of them are delivered directly to the lord's castle.

Another part will be sent to the Department of Internal Affairs, which will distribute it to pay for a series of expenses such as officials and soldiers. ”

"Interior Officers and Tax Collectors?"

Hear about these two positions.

Xiluo was stunned for a moment, thinking of Tyrone's dinner a few days ago, and couldn't help asking:

"Are they dead now?"

"The Interior Officer has narrowly escaped, and the Tax Collector is dead." The old butler sighed.

"This time, too many officials have died, and Miss Alice is requested to issue a decree early tomorrow to hire some people to replace the dead people, otherwise after a long time, I am afraid that there will be chaos in the city."

"I will, but a lot of people don't ......understand when I first take over as lord," the half-breed said with some concern.

"The Interior Officer and Andy Paladin will teach you." The old butler comforted.

Silo was not in a hurry to move the gold coin after that.

Not...... At least it was inconvenient to move in front of the old butler, and he withdrew from the vault with the two of them.

So he rested with the half-breed.

Siloh had just fallen asleep.

and once again entered the uncharted sea.

[Dragon Behind the Scenes]: You become the dragon behind the scenes of a lord, and the actual controller of a territory. Reward 5 achievement points.

Current achievement points: 30

"Finally 30 points have been accomplished!"

Silo looked at this line of dark black letters, took a deep breath, and showed joy.

Then I couldn't help but look down.

[Gluttony]: Your appetite will be greatly increased, and when paired with [Rapid Growth], your body's growth rate can be further enhanced. (Costs 30 achievements)

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

Which of these two can you redeem?

Siloh couldn't help but think.

The former can be redeemed now.

The latter also requires accumulating 30 achievement points.

30 achievements...... If there is no major event or luck, it should take a long time.

In addition, these two talents are also full potential talents.

There is no increase in instant power.

[Glutton] read the annotation to know that the sooner you redeem, the greater the profit.

The sheer size of the body is both good and bad for ordinary creatures.

Being physically large means that you have better strength, defense, and resistance, but your agility will be reduced because of this, and you will easily become a living target.

But overall, the pros definitely outweigh the cons.

What's more, the dragon also has spells that can shrink itself, and in the face of unfavorable situations, shrinking the body can solve the problem.

Spell Genius is also a potential talent, but it seems to be a little different from Gluttony.

It is not a matter of the earlier the redemption, the earlier the profit.

It's kind of like those genius students at Bluestar.

In what kind of genius character, in a certain direction, if you want to achieve some results, you also need primitive accumulation.

Such as those world-famous scientists.

If they don't study well since they were young and don't accumulate enough knowledge, how can they end up world-famous?

Think about it so far.

Siloh thinks.

It seems that the talent of [Spell Genius] can be exchanged when he has more spell knowledge in the future.

In that way, his understanding and research of spells should also be greatly improved.

At the same time, you can also avoid the fate of a new spell that you have come up with with with great difficulty, and you will soon be on the cold bench because you learn a new spell.

Think so.

He focused all his attention on the Glutton.

Ultimately.

Current achievement points: 0

Current Talents:

【Breath Boost】

【Strong】

【Rapid Growth】

【Sharp Minions】

【High-speed healing】

【High Speed Cast】

【Storm Breath】

【Glutton】

Dreams are distorted.

When Siloh woke up again, it was already morning.

This time it wasn't Alice who woke him up, but a hungry rumbling that woke him up hungry!

"Mr. Sillo, I remember you only ate once four days ago, right? Are you hungry again now? Why don't you go back and catch some food first? ”

Alice had been woken up by this time, poked her head out of the bed beside Silo, looked at him and said.

"Forget it this time! Let Andrei prepare some food for me, eat it early, and go to the Interior Office to have a look, those bastards! If you dare to covet the gold coins that belong to us, I will kill them! ”

Siloh said.

So he told Alice to get up quickly.

He was at the door, silently watching the half-breed change his clothes.

Looking at her bumpy body and snow-white delicate skin, I was a little distracted.

With such a beautiful body, wouldn't it be a pity if you didn't dance some Korean style dances?

Not...... Maybe you can find a chance to teach her in the future and appreciate it when she is bored?

He thought sullenly.

Waited until she got dressed and came to the restaurant together.

Some breakfast had been prepared on the table, but it was simply not enough for him to see.

Alice immediately said:

"Grandpa Andre, please go and prepare some more breakfast for Mr. Silo, you should have heard that, right? Mr. Silo is starving at the moment. ”

"According to Miss, how much do you need?"

"Hmm...... At least fifteen hundred pounds, by the way, these foods don't need to be processed, just bring them in. ”

Aliston paused, thinking of Silo's appetite and said.

"Fifteen hundred pounds?"

The old butler was stunned and a little surprised, but immediately bowed down and retreated.

Silo immediately grabbed a pot of roast meat from the table and stuffed it directly into his mouth, followed by cheese, goat's milk, tomatoes and other fruits.

After a while, most of them were wiped out, which was a plug between the teeth, which made the stomach feel a little better.

Then he began to wait.

In the process.

He still glanced at his stat bar:

【Powerful Alienated Blue Dragon Cub】

Rating: 10 68.3 (Excellent) 34.1%

Alienated bloodline: Thunderfall Dragon (30%), Extreme Brontosaurus (10.3%), Storm Dragon (24.7%)

After redeeming [Glutton], the level and template progress are almost unchanged.

The increase of a few tenths of a day can be seen as a natural increase in the past few days.

Silo had expected this, and it was not surprising.

Half an hour later.

The old butler came in with a few soldiers, carrying a large piece of meat.

Silo was not polite, and stuffed it into his mouth one by one.

It was all done in a few moments.

"How many pounds of meat are there?" Silo asked lightly stroking his stomach.

"Although Miss said it would take 1,500 pounds, I bought an extra 200 pounds."

The old butler took a deep breath and said.

But in my heart, I was secretly frightened.

This dragon's food is too much, right?

I ate 1,700 pounds of meat in this meal!

1,700 pounds of chirgy meat! The price of each pound, even if it is a large wholesale, is almost 20 copper coins.

A total of 3 golds and 40 silvers were spent!

Miss Alice, are you sure you're going to keep him like this in the future? Aren't you afraid of being eaten poor?

The old butler's heart twitched a little.

No...... Wait, we don't have to prepare ground meat for him every day, some cheap meat should be fine.

In this way, it may be reduced to about 1 gold coin.

OK...... OK.

The old butler's face recovered slightly.

"1700 lbs...... I barely ate fifty or sixty percent full, and it seems that my appetite has increased again.

Before, 1,600 pounds was almost completely filling.

Counting the time problem, I am afraid that the amount of food eaten in a week will be about 2,700 pounds. ”

Silo mumbled and whispered to himself.

"2,700 pounds!"

The old butler covered his chest, a little unbearable.

The Nite clan won't really be eaten by him, right?

"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's go to the Internal Affairs Office now, hurry up and finish, I'm still going to pick up the goods that the Temple of Fortune prepared a few days ago!"

Siloh was a little impatient.

Take Alice, André the butler, Andy the Paladin, and Depp, his only Blue Star dependent, to the Interior Office.

The first thing he did was to go through the tax books and some expenses.

Nile is a city with a population of 70,000 or 80,000.

The annual income is actually very good, about 9,500 gold coins.

With so many gold coins, Xiluo was speechless when he saw it.

It's no wonder that so many five-colored dragons like to rob human cities or become lords themselves.

Those who collect taxes from others, the gold coins are really not ordinary!

However, it is also not easy to manage a city well.

The soldiers of Nile alone numbered more than 2,000 people.

These people need to pay more than 2,500 gold coins every year.

The free provision of three meals a day costs more than 1,000 gold coins.

There are also some officials and administrative staff, and the salaries add up to more than 2,000.

Repairing dilapidated public spaces and adding new supplies is more than 2,000 a year.

This adds up to almost seven thousand five hundred.

A bunch of miscellaneous things, deducted. A part is also set aside in the Department of Internal Affairs.

In the end, it was only seven or eight hundred gold coins that could flow into the castle.

Some of these accounts made him feel outrageous at first glance.

For example.

The salary paid to Paladin Andy is two hundred gold coins a year......

Made! That dog's salary for a year is actually two hundred gold coins?

If Barbara's she-dragon saw it, she would have to burst into tears.

The female dragon followed the dragon lord and the mother, and after so many years, she saved four hundred gold coins.

A human paladin, casually, two hundred gold coins a year......

No wonder this dog thing is worth a lot of money in a piece of equipment.

Of course, this is hiring a master after all, in fact, if you think about it, it is still understandable.

But there is still some in the back, but it is Xiluo's eyelids that jump.

Buy a high-grade magic sword from a wealthy merchant to arm the city patrol captain and spend fifty gold coins.

Buying high-grade stone used by a wealthy merchant to repair the castle, he spent 300 gold coins......

City sewers are clogged and hired to clean up...... Accidents happen...... Spend 100 gold coins.

A lot of things are deceptive in Silo's opinion.

He was so angry that he couldn't wait to pinch this group of dogs to death.

But considering the current shortage of manpower, he also endured it and did not move his claws.

In the end, Depp was allowed to stay and supervise each other with the people in the political department.

Because Alice now has the protection of Paladin Andy, Silo is more at ease.

After that, he hurried alone and ran to the temple of the god of wealth.

He's got a few thousand gold coins left! Need to go to tweed!
