Duke Aiden hurriedly approached, bowed politely, and then said loudly, “Good day, Mr. Hermit.

Thank you for your help to our family, and welcome to Sivier Castle. It is truly an honor for us to have you here.”

“Good day, Mr. Hermit.”

Chief Mage Koshk and the three Knight Commanders behind him also bowed respectfully and greeted in unison. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

During the casual talk on the way, Miss Hilowiz seemed less constrained and simply smiled, saying, “It’s nice to see you again, Mr. Hermit.”

“You must be Duke Aiden, whom Miss Hilowiz mentioned.”

The Hermit simply nodded in greeting, surveying everyone in the hall, and finally his gaze rested on Duke Aiden.

The people of Sivier inside the hall didn’t know that in Cassius’s pale green profound eyes, they appeared like they were naked, with no secrets—a crushing of life’s essence.

As a Red Dragon with ancestral lineage, even in human form, Cassius possessed a life essence far more powerful than theirs.

[Duke Jin Quehua – Aiden (Occupational Level: Combat Master 12)]

[Sivier Blade – Simon (Occupational Level: Champion Warrior 20)]

[Secret Technique Archmage – Koshk (Occupational Level: Mage – Spellcaster School 19)]

[Secret Silver Hand Commander – Feodoro Pet (Occupational Level: Rune Warrior 16)]

…

“Tsk tsk, worthy of the chaotic Fianso Continent where gods and demons clash; even a noble governing part of a city possesses such strength.”

Browsing the information that surfaced on the panel, Cassius couldn’t help but reflect internally.

A Sub-Legendary Warrior, an Archmage close to Legendary, and several equally Supernatural Level powerful warriors.

Just the strength the Sivier family displayed for him was substantial.

Such a lineup could easily rule a Duchy in the North, even crushing the most powerful Boske Duchy among the Northern Countries.

Yet placed in Fianso Continent, in the biggest and most prosperous Victoria Port on the West Coast, they couldn’t fully control the city and could only stand toe-to-toe with the other three major families.

Thinking of this, Cassius spoke lightly, “Heh, no wonder you are one of the rulers of this Victoria Port, Duke Aiden. It seems your family truly possesses considerable strength.”

At this moment, sweat seeped from Koshk’s forehead. The many spells he had set up within Sivier Castle were useless before this Hermit.

And he had a peculiar feeling—as if the being before him had already seen through him, leaving nothing of his hidden.

Simon also subconsciously held onto his Silver Sword to ensure the Duke’s safety, but his arm trembled slightly.

Just now, he felt an overwhelmingly powerful aura that had even instilled an instinctive fear in him.

“Don’t be nervous, Mr. Hermit is a benefactor of our Sivier family.”

Duke Aiden, sensing the odd atmosphere, quickly smiled apologetically.

“Mr. Hermit, you protected our Sivier trade convoy and even rescued my daughter. I truly do not know how to thank you.

This is just a small token of appreciation to show a little sincerity from our family, and I urge you to please accept it.”

He called several servants and directed them to move over the pre-prepared chests.

But they were too heavy, and the servants exerted great effort to barely manage bringing them before the Hermit, skillfully opening them.

Suddenly, golden light filled the area.

The several chests were filled with Gold Coins, tens of thousands in number, exquisite gold jewelry, and shining pearls like grains of sand.

Evidently, Duke Aiden had meticulously understood the preferences of bronze dragons, knowing that like all giant dragons, they covet gold and consider pearls as delicious snacks.

Even the people in the hall couldn’t help but breathe faster at the sight of so much treasure.

—But peering at others’ wealth was clearly impolite, and they soon controlled their emotions, focusing their expectant gazes on the Hermit.

The “Hermit” Mr. Hermit’s eyes sparkled, his mouth corners lifted, and he nodded continuously, clearly pleased with the gift.

In his pale green pupils, the glittering shine of gold was reflected—clearly, even as a Metal Dragon, he couldn’t completely resist the greed innate to dragons.

However, this was still not the end, it could even be considered just an appetizer.

Duke Aiden continued, “Mr. Hermit, this is only a part of our thanks.

The arsenal brought back by the trade convoy can still be measured in Gold Coins, but to me personally, my daughter—Hilowiz is priceless.

I truly do not know how to express my gratitude, so I can only offer our many collectibles from Victoria Port, hoping you will like them.”

“Clap, clap.”

Duke Aiden clapped his hands, and the doors of the hall slowly opened, with elegantly dressed maids entering in a neat formation.

They carried transparent glass boxes containing a variety of precious collectibles, many of which sparkled with brilliant Magical Aura.

Red coral from the sea, ships enclosed in glass bottles, crowns of Naga Nobles, and huge pearls emitting a multicolored radiance…

These were almost all carefully prepared by Duke Aiden, precious treasures from the sea.

As far as he knew, aside from gold and pearls, the bronze dragon known as “Coastal Dragon” also favored other treasures from the sea, and the Sivier family, entrenched in Victoria Port for many years, clearly had plenty in stock.
