I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"Anno, what exactly happened?"

After the meeting, Tester naturally kept Anno behind and took him to a garden to discuss the matter.

Because Anno solved the most important problem in the North, a weight was lifted from his heart.

Exhausted, Tester slumped into a chair without any regard for appearances, eating the tea and snacks brought by the maid.

Anno knew that Tester was referring to the protection of the God Hunters, so he explained, "The God Hunters won a great victory in this war in Warrenger!"

They killed over a dozen god-level experts and two mid-level gods in one fell swoop!

"My goodness!"

Tester couldn't help but gasp, dropping the pastry he was about to eat in shock.

But he quickly picked it up from the clean floor, blew on it, took a bite of it, and mumbled, "So, the God Hunters had a huge haul this time. That's why they, who wouldn't normally concern themselves with 'mortal' affairs, are giving us protection?"

"That's one way to understand it!"

Anno nodded, then continued, "We suffered heavy losses this time, even losing our border defenses. It wouldn't be right for them not to offer compensation!"

Anno did not point out that the God Hunter had only given him three opportunities to help unconditionally.

However, Tester still keenly noticed the problem.

He chewed the remaining half of the pastry a few times, then gulped down a large glass of water, and sneered, "If it weren't for you, the God Hunter probably wouldn't have given us this chance at all!"

I have also learned more about the God Hunters from my father during this time.

While they may seem heartless, the places where they appear at least offer some safety to people facing danger.

But if we're talking about good people, they clearly had the opportunity to save more people, yet they ignored many things on the mainland!

However, because of their different positions, they consider different things!

Since I became the acting king, I have realized that there are many things I didn't take care of when I was a prince.

Even so..."

Tester looked at the sky, then turned his gaze to Anno, subtly giving the sky the middle finger!

Anno said speechlessly, "Although they are god-level powerhouses, they are not omnipotent. It's impossible for them to know what you're doing!"

"Yeah?"

Tester's eyes lit up, and he jumped up from his chair, ready to give the sky a big middle finger.

But Anno added, "However, we cannot rule out the possibility that there are God Hunters near the palace."

"Grass!"

Tester quickly stopped his outstretched right hand with his left hand and sat back down next to Anno.

"Sigh~!"

After sighing, Tester said, "My father has been urging me to get married!"

Anno was taken aback for a moment, but a smile quickly appeared on his face.

"That's great!"

Tester glanced at Anno, coughed twice, and then said, "I'm not opposed to this."

However, the gift you give me when I get married must be substantial.

Gold coins or jewelry would be even better!

As he spoke, Tester gestured with his hands.

"You're a king, and you expect me to give you gold coins for your wedding?"

Seeing the puzzled look on Anno's face, Tester pointed to the plate of unfinished pastries on the table and said, pointing repeatedly, "Do you know how poor I am right now?"

As you just saw, I couldn't bear to throw away the pastries that fell on the ground; I even picked them up and ate them!

Haven't you figured out the problem yet, my brother!

Tester suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "This war has completely drained the national treasury that I had painstakingly replenished over the past six months, and we even have to pay out of pocket a lot!"

All I want right now is to make money! Make money! Make money!

I'm going to have a grand and spectacular wedding this time.

Anno, you should set a good example and reveal the amount of the gift money in advance.

And it's essential that those nobles know about it.

Make them double, no, triple...five times!

We need to find a way to increase their numbers by at least five times, with no upper limit.

Afterwards, the money they gave as gifts was split 70/30.

I get seven, you get three!

By the end, Tester's eyes were shining, as if he wanted to empty the kingdom's nobles' coffers.

Seeing Tester in this state, Anno knew that he was really having a hard time right now.

However, Anno didn't actually have much money, since both the Adventurers' Guild and Xuelong City needed to develop.

After all, he's only accepting Tester's commissions now because the latter is getting them for free, except that he's getting a promotion for Anno.

"You're getting married and I'm going to take 30% of your wedding gift money? I could never do something so despicable!"

Anno shook his head helplessly and said, "The first batch of pioneering teams from the Underworld will be back tomorrow, and then we can expand the scale of the pioneering teams."

At the same time, more dimensional anchor points will be added, giving exploration teams more options.

Many continents lost their elite forces at Warrenger this time, and I have already taken control of a space anchor point called the Crimson Continent.

We can now send our adventurers primarily to the Crimson Continent to plunder resources!

Take it slow, things will get better!

"real?"

Tester looked at Anno, uncertainly asking, "Is there really no war going to happen next?"

Anno pondered for a moment, then said, "Ninety percent unlikely!"

If the Demon King's army wants to make a move, Anno will immediately send the God Hunters to intervene.

Even if a war were to break out, it would be between the Otherworld Army and the Demon King's Army.

After all, the gods have already "confirmed" that the Pandora in Anno's possession is fake!

Those gods certainly wouldn't target Anno.

Moreover, having already fallen into a trap once, it will at least quiet down the gods who have designs on Anno for a while.

"That's good, that's good!"

Tester poured Anno a cup of tea, then added some for himself, and asked, "Anno, you said you now have a title, a territory, and such a large adventurers' guild, it's time to consider getting married and having children."

The titles I've given you are all hereditary, so you'd better hurry up and find an heir!

Hey~, don't get me wrong, I'm not cursing you to get into trouble.

But there are many things you need to consider in advance!

After stealing a few glances at Anno, Tester licked his lips and said, "I heard that the president of your Snow Dragon City Craftsmen's Guild is quite good."

Suitable age and outstanding appearance.

His skills have gradually been honed, and he now has thousands of craftsmen under his command.

Their background and status were also quite high; they were royalty.

"Would you like to think about it?"

Anno looked at Tester, who was once again trying to sell his sister, speechless, and said, "You should find yourself a woman first. You're already planning to get married, and you haven't even picked out a partner yet!"

"I'm making my selections. I've already had my subordinates investigate which families are wealthy and whether they have any women of marriageable age!"

Tester stealthily approached Anno and whispered, "Now... we have a few targets!"

Anno remained silent.

This guy married a wealthy nobleman, his purpose being to leech off the other party's wealth.

As a member of royalty, Tester's marriage was not something she could do at will.

There are many intricacies involved.

Anno didn't offer any advice or suggestions to Tester to find his true love.

Tester is actually very shrewd.

Since he made this choice, he must have already thought it through.

Besides, where would a king who is constantly preoccupied with affairs have time to find true love?

With his personal female bodyguard?

......

After returning to Xuelong City from the royal city, Anno found the acting city lord, Ella.

Currently, the elves and Roland Empire members who previously supported Xuelong City have all returned.

Only the dwarves remained in Anor, waiting for the return of the Underworld pioneers.

Before leaving the elves, Anno promised Elsa of the royal family that he would visit the Elf Forest after finishing his business here.

However, there are now dozens of high-level dragons in Selangor City, flying around the city and its surrounding territories all day long.

After the initial fear subsided, the city's residents gradually became accustomed to the presence of these dragons.

The idea that dragons are evil is deeply ingrained in everyone's mind.

However, everyone believed that the dragon was the lord's summoned creature.

"If they're summoned by the lord, then there's nothing to fear! They'll even protect us!"

That's what the people in the city said.

Some people even came specifically to see the dragon in Xue Long City after hearing about it, which earned Anno a lot of teleportation fees.

But what Anno needs to do now is to get Ella to find a way to allocate a living area for the dragons within the city, or simply expand it.

They fly around all day, it's really affecting the appearance of the city.
