I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"Master, the city is currently unable to allocate living areas for the dragons that Adelaide brought back."

Currently, the main areas within the city are covered by the Adventurers' Guild, the Craftsmen's Guild, the Dimensional Teleportation Array, and the City Lord's Mansion, respectively.

There is also the completed Summoning Temple.

No matter where you put the dragon, it won't work.

Instead, we should expand the city and set aside a special area for the dragons to rest in.

Here is the expansion plan for Klang Valley that officials have discussed. Please take a look!

Ella handed a document to Anno, and after Anno read it and nodded in agreement, she continued, "Regarding the dragon knight selection you mentioned, I have already notified all the soldiers in the city."

Almost every soldier had ideas, but their skills weren't up to par.

The thirty dragons are of immense strength, with twenty-two at the seventh rank, six at the eighth rank, and three at the ninth rank!

Although these dragons are Adelaide's own crew and will obey Adelaide's orders to become dragon riders.

However, without the dragon's approval of one's strength, it is impossible to become a dragon knight!

Although there are quite a few high-ranking subordinates under Anno, many of them already hold official positions.

For example, Steinbeck, the leader of the "Investigators".

Andre, a half-dragon who is also an investigator, but often acts alone under Anno's orders.

Hodenis, the guild leader of the Adventurers' Branch in Xuelong City.

William, the city's defense commander.

There were also some soldiers in the Xuelong City army who had been trained by Liz using Pandora and had just been promoted to the seventh rank.

However, these soldiers, who hadn't even mastered many seventh-tier skills, were no match for the dragon.

"It seems the first batch of dragon knights can only be the [Twelve Kings]!"

After much thought, Anuo concluded that only Xue Feibai and his group could subdue the dragon.

However, they were sent by Anno during the war to find the Crimson Continent plane teleportation array that Macaros had entrusted to them, and they have not yet returned.

Let's see if William and Hodenis want dragon riders once the dimensional portal opens tomorrow.

As a high-ranking member of the city of Khalkha, becoming a Dragon Knight would not only showcase one's strength but also enhance one's combat power.

"Did you tell Owen about opening the dimensional teleportation array tomorrow?"

"A messenger has already been sent to inform the dwarves."

"Notify all adventurer guilds to begin a large-scale screening of the second batch of adventurers qualified to go to the other world. After the applications are submitted to headquarters for review, invitations to the other world will be issued to the adventurers themselves."

"yes!"

Ella responded and returned to her seat to begin handling official business.

Although Anno is the city lord, he is a complete hands-off manager, and Ella basically handles all the affairs, big and small.

With nothing else to do, Anno spent some time reviewing the documents that Ella had specially compiled to learn about the important events that had occurred in Xuelong City during this period before leaving for the Summoning Temple.

At this point, the Summoning Temple, apart from lacking a statue, was already quite presentable.

The summoner Ruth, who is most favored by Philomena, has also moved into the temple.

As for the other summoners, they don't have this right.

Philomena is now grooming Ruth to be her successor.

"Lord Anno, you've arrived!"

Ruth, who was meditating in the center of the temple, opened her eyes and saw Anno. She stood up with a joyful expression and bowed to Anno.

"Where is Lady Philomena?"

Anno looked around but couldn't find any trace of Philomena.

"They're probably still sleeping at home!"

Ruth said somewhat embarrassedly.

Anno raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and said, "Summon her to the Summoning Temple and tell her I have something very important and urgent to discuss with her!"

"yes!"

When Ruth heard Anno say that something urgent had come up, she immediately nodded in agreement and hurriedly went out.

Before long, Philomena was dragged to the Summoning Temple looking impatient.

"What urgent matter does he have that can't wait?"

"Oh dear, Lady Philomena, please don't delay. If Lord Anno gets angry, he'll cut our budget again!"

"Withhold funds? He wouldn't dare!" Philomena's eyes widened, and she ran into the temple on her short legs. Seeing Anno, she said angrily, "Are you going to threaten me with funds again?"

Anno smiled slightly, knowing this was Ruth's tactic to provoke Philomena, and simply admitted it, saying, "If you don't work, of course you won't have money!"

"Um?"

Philomena glanced back at Ruth, who was looking down at her feet and not saying a word, and said irritably, "Can't you guys do more commissions and earn more funds for the temple to cover my expenses?"

Why should I let this guy threaten me every day?

"What a waste of time training you all!"

After saying that, she glared angrily at Anuo and asked, "What do you want?"

"I'd like to discuss with you the skills of a ninth-tier summoner, and... issues related to domains!"

Although Anno has not yet mastered the eighth-tier summoner skills [Silence], [High-Tier Blood Magic Shield], [Elf Sacrifice], [Taunt Doll], and [Summon Great Elemental Spirit (Elemental General)], he has not even mastered all the seventh-tier summoner skills.

However, he is already at level nine, and he needs to understand level nine summoner skills.

Philomena rolled her eyes at Anno upon hearing this, and said, "You haven't even finished learning the eighth-tier summoner skills yet. I advise you not to try the ninth-tier summoner skills. Most of them are part of the same system; if you haven't learned the prerequisite skills, how can you learn the later ones!"

Anno asked, looking puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Philomena clicked her tongue and sat down in the chair Ruth had brought over, saying, "Seventh-tier summoning skills can summon elemental spirits."

The eighth-tier skill can summon a more powerful elemental spirit general.

Once this skill reaches level nine, you can summon the Elemental Spirit King!

The Elemental Spirit King is an extremely powerful being among the ninth-tier beings, capable of greatly enhancing a summoner's combat strength.

But if you can't even summon the Elemental Spirit General, you have no chance of summoning the Spirit King!

Furthermore, I advise you to take the time to collect the elemental spirits you haven't summoned yet and form contracts with them.

The ice, wind, water, and earth elements you summon now, while each has its strengths, are still far less destructive in combat than the fire element, which excels in attack.

Of course, if you are lucky enough to find an extremely rare lightning element and are able to summon the Lightning Elemental King, you will gain a powerful general.

A single Thunder Elemental King can completely overwhelm a typical peak-level ninth-tier summon!

After Philomena said that, Anno couldn't help but run out to collect elemental spirits right now.

However, elemental spirits are not something you can encounter casually.

It depends on luck.

"Aside from summoning the Elemental Spirit King, are there no other types of ninth-tier summoner skills?"

"Of course!"

Philomena said smugly, "The ninth-tier summoning skill also includes a very powerful one: [Soulless Summoning Contract]!"

"A soulless summoning contract?"

Anno frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Philomena explained, "To put it another way, a summoner can sacrifice the soul of a creature that has recently died to obtain a summoned creature."

There is a prerequisite: a soul must be sacrificed.

However, the [Soulless Summoning Contract] allows you to summon objects without souls!
