With Kailong's detailed explanation, Anno learned that the Demon Slayer Set he was wearing actually had many other functions.

For example, the scorpion tail hanging down behind the helmet can actually be controlled.

If a close-quarters stalemate occurs with an enemy, the scorpion tail on the helmet can quickly stab out, causing fatal damage to the enemy's head!

On the back of the Demon Slayer Set, there are two irregular pentagonal armor plates.

Normally, it can act as a shield to defend the rear.

But there are also fleshy wings hidden inside the armor.

Once expanded, it can assist in flight, reducing the consumption of flight magic power while increasing flight speed—high-level powerhouses need to consume magic power to fly.

Overall, following Chiron's instructions, Anno spread his wings and soared into the sky, looking down at the territory below.

Seeing the scenery rushing past in his field of vision at an extremely fast speed, Anno thought to himself: With the help of these wings, my flight speed should be comparable to that of a ninth-level expert!

Whoosh!

Anno's figure swept across the sky like a whirlwind before landing in the courtyard of the city lord's castle.

After a series of tests, Anno was very satisfied with the Demon Slayer Set.

Although Chiron only brought ten magic crystal cannons and a set of magic-killing armor to Anno this time.

But Anno felt that she had already made a great deal.

If the Dwarf Kingdom were willing to make a move, a magic crystal cannon would be offered for 100 million gold coins, and all nations would be vying to buy it.

The Demon Slayer Set is also priceless.

"A ninth-tier magic set—even the Sword Saint of the Roland Empire might not possess that!"

After Anno removed the armor piece by piece, he led Chiron back to the conference room.

Chiron nodded and said, "Even if there are human nations, they must have been passed down from a long time ago. Currently, there shouldn't be any humans capable of forging ninth-tier magical equipment."

The holy sword in the Sword Saint's hand must be a ninth-tier magical weapon passed down from ancient times!

Mentioning the Sword Saint Christie Victoria, Chiron said mysteriously, "And I speculate that that holy sword must be a divine artifact!"

"A divine artifact?"

Anno pondered for a moment, then said doubtfully, "No way. If the sword Christie is holding is a divine weapon, wouldn't someone have already stolen it by now, given how ostentatious she is?"

Anno didn't believe the Demon King wouldn't be tempted by a divine artifact in the hands of a ninth-ranked being.

Even if the Demon King doesn't take action, what about the otherworldly beings?

"This is precisely what I cannot understand, and it's why I ultimately couldn't be certain that the holy sword was a divine artifact!"

Chiron also looked incredulous at this.

"However, you don't need to worry too much. Although the Demon Slayer Set doesn't have a weapon, as a summoner, melee combat is not your forte at all."

Although the Demon Slayer Set is equipped with many secondary weapons, it is ultimately a set of heavy defensive armor.

This suits your fighting style better.

Clearly, Kairon also knew that summoners like Anno only needed to stand in the back and oversee the overall situation during battle.

There are very few times when Anno really needs to take action on his own.

"Your Highness Chiron, I am very grateful for the generosity of the Dwarf Kingdom. I sincerely hope that the Dwarf Kingdom can recover from the war as soon as possible."

Anno took the things, and he should still express his gratitude.

Chiron waved his hand, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Actually, the reason we're giving you these two things as payment is because we really can't afford to pay you anything else."

The cost of hiring Anno is simply too high.

The initial agreement was that the reward would be determined based on Anno's kill count.

Anno's record on the battlefield was simply too outstanding.

The summoned units killed countless dragon scorpions.

To pay Anno's reward, the Dwarf King even convened a two-day meeting with his ministers to discuss the matter.

Ultimately, they decided to pay with magical weapons and equipment.

The money saved was used to settle the dwarves who were displaced by the war.

"Furthermore, we hope that President Anno's Adventurers' Guild can establish branches on a large scale in the Dwarf Kingdom."

Chiron looked at Anno intently.

He specifically addressed him as "Chairman Anno" instead of "Viscount Anno" to show that he was not joking.

The Dwarf Kingdom already had several branches of adventurers' guilds, located near Iron Fortress.

However, just as it was developing, it encountered the same problem as Sagunto.

The current economic downturn in the surrounding cities has directly impacted the branch by reducing commissions.

Chiron wanted Anno to establish a large number of branches in the Dwarf Kingdom, partly to express his willingness to build a friendship with Anno.

Secondly, it is hoped that the rapid movement of adventurers will stimulate the domestic economy and accelerate the recovery.

If it were just an adventurers' guild, the Dwarf Kingdom could simply copy the model and establish a dwarf branch.

The problem is, their target is Anno.

Doing so would not only fail to gain Anno's friendship, but would also put him on the opposite side of Anno's forces.

Of course, most importantly, if Anno establishes branches on a large scale in the Dwarf Kingdom, he will naturally try to increase the number of commissions and adventurers in the branches.

It might even promote exchanges and trade between the Kingdom of Nigar and the Kingdom of Dwarves.

The Dwarf King's exact words to Chiron were: "Even if Anno doesn't agree, you should still maintain a good relationship with Anno, and it would be best to learn from Test, the next ruler of the Kingdom of Nigal."

In short, Chiron's mission this time is also to establish a deeper alliance with the Kingdom of Nigar in order to deal with the current situation of the otherworldly invasion!

Anno lowered his head and thought for a while.

Chiron was naturally unaware of the plan to invade another world.

But Anno is now considering pulling the other side into an alliance.

After all, with the assistance of the Dwarf Kingdom and the provision of various weapons, it would be easy to establish a base in another world.

"Your Highness Chiron, I have a big project coming up, and I wonder if you'd be interested in participating..."
