Chapter 340

"Yes." Ren nodded frankly, "I won't hire you again after the Spearwing Knights are familiar with the castle and the territory."

He invested a lot of gold shields to train Spearwing Knights for this day.

The Dragonstone mercenary group did a good job and completed the job well, but they are a group of mercenaries after all, and they are far less reliable than their own private army in terms of loyalty, and there is always a layer of estrangement.

Although Emily had been mentally prepared for a long time, she was still stunned when she heard Ren's confession.

She knew that it was impossible to cooperate with Ren forever, and sooner or later it would end, but she didn't expect it to come so soon. It has been almost a year and a half since she entered Clearwater High Castle last year. The contract signed at the beginning, the commission was one-tenth of the taxes of the Glamorgan Territory, which allowed her to earn more than 300,000 gold shields!

This is the largest sum of money earned since the establishment of the mercenary group.

Moreover, the mercenary group had almost no losses. Relying on the prestige of the lord and the holy soul wizard, no one dared to cause trouble in the territory. They didn't have to go through life and death, as long as they patrolled and guarded.

This is simply lying down and making money.

Living in the castle is also very comfortable and comfortable. Sometimes, Emilys even thinks that if the lord has not been able to build his own extraordinary army, it is a good choice to live like this.

Those national and family hatreds can be temporarily forgotten.

A few months ago, Ryan bought back a large number of Kemel slaves for training. Emily laughed a few times in her heart, thinking that it would be impossible to succeed. At least within three years, Glamorgan would be inseparable from her mercenary group.

However, the appearance of the Spear Wing Knight broke this dream.

Emily was in a very complicated mood, and said with a wry smile: "Your lord can always perform miracles. It's a pity. I will never receive a better employment mission than this in the future."

"Thank you Dragonstone Mercenary Group for your dedication."

Ryan said politely, smiling a little uncomfortable.

Every gold shield earned by the Dragonstone mercenary group came out of their own pockets, more than 300,000 gold shields, who doesn't feel bad? As soon as I open my eyes every day, I have to pay six or seven hundred gold shields, so I might as well save them and invest them in the Spear Wing Knights so that they can strengthen their strength.

He immediately said: "The day when the contract ends, let's set it in ten days."

Ten days is enough for the Spearwing Knight to get familiar with the task.

Emily bit her lips lightly, looked at Ren with purple eyes, saw that he was determined, and nodded slowly after a few seconds, "Okay, my lord, the Dragonstone mercenary group will withdraw from the castle in ten days. "

"En." Ren responded lightly.

He didn't speak any more, picked up a document on the desk and started to read it.

Emily hesitated to speak, but finally turned into a soft sigh, got up and left the study.

Before she went out, Ren looked up at her back, with an imperceptible expression on the corner of his mouth. All along, he was very clear about Emily's intentions, and the other party didn't hide it, it could even be said that it was a naked temptation, but he held back.

It's not that Emily is not beautiful enough, her appearance is very beautiful, she is pure and sexy, and her temperament is extraordinary and refined, which makes men have a strong desire to conquer. Although she is not tall, she has a curvy and exquisite figure, and she is definitely an extremely rare beauty, only slightly inferior to Viola and Oxilia.

Few men in the world can withstand such a beautiful woman throwing herself into her arms.

But Ryan didn't want to get involved in the vortex behind Emily. Of course, he could get on the bus first without paying for the fare, and he didn't make a promise anyway, just put on his pants and deny anyone.

Although he was not a gentleman, and he felt itchy many times, but after all, he couldn't do such a shameful thing, so he had no choice but to refuse.

Sitting in the study for a while, Ren opened the portal to the floating city.

He was on the plateau for a few days, trying to find Oxilia to satisfy his hunger, and entered her room, only to find that she was meditating deeply. In the soul of the rainbow dragon, the huge mana is deep and gentle, and there is a hidden torrent surging, and there is a faint momentum of breakthrough.

Oxilia is a twelfth-level mage. If she reaches the thirteenth level, she will enter the legendary middle level.

Ren couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

He signed a soul contract with Oxilia, as if her strength had improved even more. The will to truth and the key to the door were of great help to pure spellcasters.

But it's not a loss for me to get Ausiliya's body and mind.

Ren didn't want to disturb her, so he quietly left the room, only to return disappointed.

After dealing with the affairs of the territory, I met a few guests who came to visit. In the evening, I personally taught the Ultramarines and Gunwing Knights, taught them literacy, strengthened their relationship, and instilled their thinking. They didn't go back to the bedroom until late at night to rest.

Just after washing and lying on the bed, there were footsteps outside the door.

Ren didn't need to look, just by the light footsteps, he could recognize that it was Emily.

"It's so late, hasn't she given up yet?"

Ren couldn't help but shook his head, but still made up his mind, and told the two Ultramarines guarding the door through the Primarch Symbiosis not to let Emily in.

"My lord."

Emily's voice came in, "I have business to discuss with you." Her tone sounded normal, not as attractive as the previous few times.

Ren hesitated for a moment, and went to open the door.

Emily, who was stopped by the Ultramarines, was wearing a black robe that was tightly wrapped. Her silver-gold long hair was tied neatly behind her head, and her expression was very serious. It really didn't look like she was here to seduce a man.

Ren looked at her twice, "Come in."

In the spacious bedroom, there is a large comfortable sofa by the floor-to-ceiling windows. He used to sit down, leaned back casually, half-lyed and watched Emily turn and close the door, and sat across from her.

The eyes of the soul saw Emily's emotions at the moment.

A variety of colors are mixed together, constantly changing, nervous, apprehensive, hesitant... It is obvious that she is fighting fiercely in her heart.

"What's the matter?" Ren broke the silence.

Emily's soul color finally calmed down, she took a deep breath, took out a box, and said: "A few days ago, Mr. Swift came from Shenzhen-Hong Kong City, and my lord was not there at that time. Pass it on to the adults."

Ren nodded.

Swift managed the Leeds Hill Ash Coal Mine for himself in Shenzhen Harbor City, vigorously excavated the Source Crystal Mine, and sent it to Modu every month, personally delivered the Source Crystal Mine to the castle, and reported the work of the Ash Coal Mine at the same time.

During the previous two visits, Swift and Emily met each other, so they knew each other.

Ren deliberately avoided Emily for many things, and didn't want her to know too much, and the same is true for collecting source crystal mines.

But Swift obviously misunderstood his relationship with her and let her handle it.

The box containing the source crystal mine was not locked, so Emily must have opened it to see it.

"Sorry, my lord."

Emilys took the initiative to confess, and apologized: "Mr. Swift didn't tell me what it was, I couldn't help being curious..."

"It's okay." Ren raised his hand to interrupt her, "Just read it, I hope you can keep it a secret for me."

"Please rest assured, my lord, I will not reveal the secrets of my employer." Emilys promised, but she didn't intend to leave. She hesitated for a while, and finally gritted her teeth and asked, "My lord, are you collecting a lot of heavy silver mines?" ?”

Ren secretly thought, sure enough, she recognized the source crystal mine.

Heavy silver ore is very rare in the empire, and its use is not much. Even many alchemists don't know its existence.

He didn't deny it, and said with a smile: "You actually know about the heavy silver mine, have you seen it before? If you can get the heavy silver mine, I want as much as you have, and news about the heavy silver mine is also fine."

Emily's eyes lit up immediately.

She nodded slightly, "I know a place that can produce heavy silver mines, with an annual output of more than 50,000 pounds. Are you interested?"

Ren was stunned for a moment.

Annual output of 50,000 pounds!

Even if the grade of this source crystal mine is relatively low, far inferior to that of the Leeds Mountain Ash Coal Mine, as long as the ore purity is the same as that of the empire as a whole, you can still get more than 2,000 pounds of source crystals a year!

It must be known that the output of Liz Mountain Ash Coal Mine is less than 200 pounds of source crystals per year after purification.

Two thousand pounds of source crystals a year, the Thundercast Colossus is not a dream.

You can also look forward to the legendary dragon sword!

Ren lost his composure for a second, quickly regained his composure, but still couldn't hide his eager smile and said, "Of course I'm interested, where are you talking about?"

Emily uttered one word slowly: "Congatro."

Ren frowned, staring at Emily without speaking.

Congatro is the hometown of Emilys. It is a subcontinent located in the northeast corner of the old continent. Its area is a quarter of the empire, but because of the cold weather, it is covered with ice and snow all the year round, and its population is less than one tenth of the empire. , only more than 30 million.

As early as when he first met Emily, Ryan guessed her origin under the reminder of Aushilia.

The continent of Congatro was once ruled by a dragon-born family called "Drogonburg" for more than three thousand years, which is longer than the history of the empire. It was not overthrown until decades ago. Emilys is Drogon The last member of the Fort family.

She tried every means to seduce herself, but she wanted to use her own strength to counterattack the mainland of Congatero, thereby restoring the country and regaining the throne.

It involves the ruling power of a huge kingdom, and behind the change of dynasty, there must be the influence of gods.

This is not something that a mere earl lord can interfere with.

Ren didn't want to ask for trouble, so he pretended not to know.

"Did she say that on purpose, using the heavy silver mine as a cover to trick me into taking the bait?"

Ren thought to himself, the eyes of the soul carefully observed Emily's line, and it could be seen that she was not lying. Even though he could confirm the truth, he still said in a deep voice, "You'd better tell the truth."

"I dare not lie in front of adults."

Emily looked calm. She had noticed early on that Ren seemed to have a way to see through people's hearts. He could find spies hidden among servants or officials of the territory at a glance. Her mercenaries lied and never concealed them. past.

She continued: "This place is one of the largest mithril mines in the world, and it is accompanied by a large amount of heavy silver mines. It originally belonged to me. If you can help me get it back, then the whole mithril mine will be Your lord's reward."

After finishing speaking, Emily looked closely at Ren, her purple eyes full of anticipation.
