I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"Your Excellency, Viscount Anno is inside!"

Ella led a dwarf into the reception room, opened the door, and stood guard at the entrance.

The dwarf envoy thanked Ella and then went inside.

Anno was the only person in the spacious reception room.

"Viscount Anno, I thought I would have to wait a while longer, but I didn't expect you to return so soon!"

Anno noticed the envoy the moment he entered.

However, Anno was quite surprised by the identity of the special envoy.

"Your Highness Chiron!"

Anno stood up from his seat and went to greet her.

The special envoy who came to Xuelong City was none other than Prince Chiron of the Dwarf Kingdom!

"Your Highness, why did you come in person? The journey is long and tiring; you could have just sent one of your subordinates."

To be honest, Anno's heart skipped a beat when he saw Chiron.

This guy is the one the current Dwarf King has chosen as the next Dwarf King.

If they encounter life-threatening danger on the way here, this would be a serious diplomatic problem!

"Viscount Anno is worrying too much!"

Chiron was quite large for a dwarf.

He was about 1.4 meters tall, and his limbs were even thicker than Anuo's thighs!

Coupled with his thick beard and hair, he looked extremely wild.

In the dwarven kingdom, Chiron is known as Thunderous Fury!

On the battlefield, he wields his battle axe, combined with the lightning-based combat skills unique to the dwarven royal family, as if the wrath of thunder has descended!

In several small battles against the Demon King's army, Chiron lived and ate with the dwarf soldiers on the front lines and charged to the forefront when fighting the enemy, achieving great military exploits.

Therefore, Chiron enjoyed extremely high prestige among the dwarven kingdom's forces!

However, at this moment, Chiron showed a very kind smile to Anno.

The two had fought side by side in the last war in Sagunto.

However, in the final stages, Anno was injured and on the verge of death.

Chiron still needed to handle the aftermath, so the two did not meet after Anno was treated.

This is their first in-depth conversation.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chiron and Anno got straight to the point of the meeting.

First, there's Anno's reward for helping the Dwarf Kingdom!

In fact, the role that Anno played in the war could not be simply compensated by his salary.

Without Anno's summoner forces, the four teams of the Dwarven Kingdom would have suffered heavy losses during the final counterattack by the Dragon Scorpion forces.

Faced with several ninth-tier dragon scorpions and a continuous stream of dragon scorpions emerging from the ground, the dwarf kingdom might even face total annihilation!

If Anno were a dwarf, he could easily have earned a title in the dwarven kingdom based on this achievement!

However, when Anno was on the verge of death, the Dwarf King generously provided extremely precious divine medicine, buying Smedley a great deal of time to treat Anno.

Anno was on the verge of death from his injuries, but the miraculous medicine kept him alive.

Although all of this was due to inadequate intelligence gathering when the Dwarf Kingdom commissioned the operation.

But it is clear that the dwarf kingdom did not do this intentionally.

Moreover, they didn't renege on their promise—if the Dwarf King hadn't produced that divine medicine, they wouldn't have needed to pay Anno anything.

After all, the person was already dead, and the commission didn't go through the Adventurers' Guild's procedures.

Therefore, Anno did not regret helping the dwarf kingdom at that time.

It's just business.

The due compensation should still be paid.

Anno was not entitled to refuse the Dwarven Kingdom's compensation on behalf of the fallen branch leader, investigators, and Tester's guards.

Fortunately, the Dwarf Kingdom also attached great importance to this payment settlement.

The next dwarf king personally delivered it.

For the sake of the country's economy, only a small portion of the reward Chiron brought was in gold coins.

Most of them are jewelry, precious gems, exotic materials, and magical items!

For those who died in battle, gold coins were used to pay their relatives.

Those who are still alive mostly settle accounts using the latter method.

Anyway, once everyone received the money, they still wanted to buy weapons and equipment.

Equipment directly crafted by the Dwarf Kingdom offers even better value for money, and you can't usually buy it anywhere else.

Overall, the Dwarf Kingdom was not stingy even when it didn't have enough gold coins.

The reward given to Anno even made Anno himself gasp in surprise.

A full ten magic crystal cannons!

The magic crystal cannons from the Dwarf Kingdom are no ordinary cannons.

A cannon mounted on the city gate is equivalent to a high-level expert!

As long as there are enough concentrated magic crystals, you can continuously release magic cannonballs with power comparable to a seventh-tier magic cannon!

Moreover, this thing is expensive to make and the materials are scarce. The cost of the raw materials alone is almost tens of millions of gold coins!

The magic crystal cannons of the Dwarf Kingdom are rarely exported.

The cannons on the walls of Val'kam were recently purchased by Tester from the Dwarf King at a great cost.

"I heard you haven't been in charge of the territory for very long. You should need these city defense weapons, right?"

Chiron looked at Anno with a smile on his face.

"Of course we need it!"

Anno, who accompanied Kailong to the courtyard, looked at the two rows of magic crystal cannons and his eyes lit up.

Each magic crystal cannon has a base that is three meters long, two meters wide, and two meters high!

The cannon barrel is even ten meters long!

These cannons were all installed in storage rings as parts and then reassembled after arriving in Xuelong City!

Xuelong City currently has a lot of high-level combat power, but it is mainly concentrated on Anno.

Once Anno leaves the city, there are practically no fighters left.

Therefore, Anno would leave behind some Tier 7 summons before leaving.

With these cannons, even without Anno's summons, Xuelong City has a certain defensive capability!

Most importantly, cannons, when placed on city walls, serve as a deterrent!

The people inside the city would feel safe when they saw the cannons.

"Of course, these cannons aren't enough to pay your fee!"

Chiron, standing nearby, was very satisfied with Anno's reaction.

After all, the magic crystal cannons of the Dwarf Kingdom are highly sought-after items in the Six Kingdoms Alliance.

Generally speaking, even if someone wants to buy, they don't want to sell!

Building a cannon is no easy task, and the dwarf kingdom wanted to keep it to equip its own people.

However, this time, the dwarf kingdom collected many dragon scorpion corpses from the ruins of Sagunto.

Although most of them were destroyed in the aftermath of the war of gods.

However, some remained, and they were all of relatively high quality.

Many parts of the dragon scorpion can be used as materials to build the magic crystal cannon.

Anno's Dragon Scorpion Tail Cannon Sword was actually an experiment back then.

Therefore, although the dwarf kingdom suffered heavy losses, the spoils plundered on the battlefield helped them recover a significant portion of their losses.

"Viscount Anno, besides these cannons, we have something else to give you!"

As he spoke, under Anno's curious gaze, Chiron took out a set of pitch-black, ferocious armor from his storage ring!
