So I'm a sheep.

"No verification is needed. Do you think I don't believe the words of the dragon-slaying hero?"

Regardless of her true feelings, Sasha was undoubtedly pleased with His Majesty's words.

"Come with me, a grand banquet is about to begin!"

To celebrate the great hero's return from slaying the dragon, the entire capital was thrown into a frenzy of revelry.

At the banquet, Prince Kant kept asking Sasha how she slew the dragon, and she began by recounting how she gathered craftsmen to make a dragon trap.

They concealed the true cause of Rida and Dilu's deaths, only saying that they perished in a fire.

“When Fafnir was exhausted, I cast my undamaged lake light, which struck him right between the eyebrows.”

"Not long after the dragon fell to the ground, it turned into a pile of stones."

.....................................

Everyone was drunk and staggering around, but Sasha, who had drunk the most, was perfectly sober and showed no signs of intoxication.

"Your Excellency Salier has a good capacity for alcohol!"

His Majesty the King, one of the few who remained clear-headed, invited, "Let's discuss the matters of the lands and titles in the study."

“Very well, I also have something I would like to ask Your Majesty.”

When she arrived at the study with Charles VII, she first apologized: "Fafner is indeed dead, but I have something to hide."

"Oh?"

After revealing the true cause of Rida and Dilu's deaths, Sasha sighed and said, "They were dragon-slaying heroes after all, and I don't want their reputations to be tarnished."

“Completely understand”

His Majesty the King nodded; he also did not want such a thing to get out.

The Dragon Slaying Squad should be all-powerful and righteous; what's the point of having villains and scumbags in it?

"Your Excellency Saliye, what is it that you wish to ask me for a favor?" Carlos VII asked again.

"Actually, I have quite a history with several of His Majesty's subordinates."

As His Majesty the King listened to the dragon slayer's story, his expression changed slightly.

"I would like to ask His Majesty for a few more people."

Sasha bowed slightly: "I already have a territory and a title, I only hope..."

"Haha, it's nothing, no conditions are needed!"

Volume 1: Chapter 693 You Want to Rebel?

Who do you want?

Those among the Forty Thieves who worked for you

"..."

His Majesty the King gave the dragon slayer a deep look, and in that instant, he thought of many things.

"can!"

Without even asking Sasha about their 'connection', His Majesty the King readily nodded.

Before setting off, David had cast the spell of 'Shared Vision' on one of his close attendants, and one thing he was certain of was that the Dragon Slayers had engaged in a great battle with Fafnir.

After a life-or-death struggle, only Saliye returned safely.

There was no need for investigation; King Carlos VII believed she was the dragon slayer.

On one side are dragon-slaying experts, and on the other side are several loyal subordinates.

What's there to hesitate about?

"I'll hand the man over to you, and I'll also elevate his title. As for the territory..."

His Majesty the King took out a map and drew a circle to the right of the Viscount's territory.

"Take all the circled parts!"

Sasha was moved; the circle drawn by King Carlos VII was almost three times the size of her original territory.

Such a generous gesture, coupled with an attitude of complete trust, is truly touching!

"His Majesty's generous gift"

Viscount, oh no, he should be called Earl now.

The countess looked incredibly grateful, and just as she was contemplating whether to shed a few tears, His Majesty the King said calmly, "This is what you deserve. If you truly wish to express your gratitude, then do me another favor."

After a series of preparations, Sasha had no choice but to accept.

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"You should know that the kingdom is currently vying with the seven major dwarven clans for ownership of eleven iron mines."

Hey, aren't you guys robbing Gold Mountain?

Sasha blinked and slowly nodded, saying, "I've heard about this important matter. Does His Majesty want me to go to the battlefield?"

"I'd rather you go out to sea and retrieve something for me than go to war."

Going to sea?!

Sasha quickly replied, "Your Majesty, I have no experience at sea."

"Even if you give me a raft, I might not be able to row it back to the sea."

..........................................

Sasha's words amused His Majesty the King, who laughed and said, "Of course I won't give you a raft to row out to sea."

"Big ship, captain, crew, supplies, everything you need!"

"They will take you to your destination, and your job is to defeat any monsters that may be present on the island."

"Your Majesty, what is it about the island that you have taken a fancy to?" Sasha asked curiously.

"Golden Fleece"

"what is that?"

"A wondrous object that can make ships in the sea fly into the air!"

King Charles VII said in a deep voice, “I have built a very, very large ship. After you get the Golden Fleece for me, I plan to use it to bombard the dwarves.”

To build airships and attack dwarves?

That's some really unique thought process!

Sasha asked with great interest, "Are you planning to launch a surprise attack on the dwarves' capital?"

"The dwarves do not have a unified government, and there are often conflicts between the seven clans."

"Currently, they have only formed a loose alliance to band together and compete with humans for iron ore."

King Charles VII discovered that Sasha knew almost nothing about dwarves, so he patiently taught her some knowledge about them.

Dwarves are skilled in forging, they are very strong, and both men and women have long beards.

The seven dwarf clans all built their own castles underground, but in order to compete with humans for iron mines, more and more dwarves settled on the surface.

"They have now formed three large settlements near eleven iron mines. These three settlements must be destroyed no matter what. Kill as many dwarves as you can!"

"It's not just about fighting for iron mines; we must resolutely eliminate these dangerous elements who could potentially lead to the unification of the dwarves in the future."

..............................................

The dwarves of the seven clans lived together in the settlement, and over a long period of time, they adapted to each other.

The dwarves living in underground castles are stubborn and conservative, but the dwarves who are used to settlement life are different!

They were tolerant of the customs of different clans and were among the most enlightened of the dwarves.

If the dwarves were to unite in the future, these enlightened individuals would undoubtedly be the backbone of the change!

After King Carlos VII explained, Sasha understood.

She looked at the king with great admiration, and this analysis broadened her horizons considerably.

"The Golden Fleece is extremely important to the kingdom!"

“Count Salier, may I ask you to go out to sea and retrieve it?”

"Your Majesty, I will do my best, but we need to wait a while."

Sasha smiled wryly, "After slaying the dragon, I really don't have the energy to go to sea immediately."

"It's time to take a good rest."

His Majesty nodded considerately, then asked, "How about we rest until next spring?"

Having a buffer period of about half a year is about right.

"no problem"

"..."

Not lingering in the capital, Sasha embarked on her journey home three days later.

She was accompanied by the eldest brother and the third brother; all the others were nowhere to be seen.

It wasn't that King Carlos VII's promise had been compromised, but rather that those Sasha knew were already on the death list.

"We're already out of the capital, aren't you going to give me a heads-up?"

"Don't worry, Your Excellency, everyone is fine."

The chief was very respectful. His Majesty the King always dealt swiftly with those who were disloyal, but he spared them only because of the dragon-slaying hero.

Once you leave Sasha's protection, hehe!

.............................................

With a sigh of relief that everything was alright, Sasha couldn't help but say, "I guess His Majesty didn't expect you to dare to play him like this, otherwise he might not have given me this face."

Just look at Sasha's example; there are definitely other people on the death list who faked their deaths to escape!
