You, a dragon, are farming in hell

"There's one more thing. Does Your Highness Sophia need our help in introducing customers? Our leader knows quite a few wealthy people. The life essence you possess is the same kind of thumb-sized life essence that you sold to Xavier yesterday."

If you entrust our team leader with full responsibility, he can sell each bottle for at least 3,500 gold coins, or even more.

Your Highness, don't think that making money through dishonest means is wrong. It's those "Water of Life" sold in the kingdom's markets that are making money through dishonest means.

The money you earned is clean; the quality of the life essence is absolutely worth the price.

Moreover, Your Highness needs a great deal of money to develop the northern border.”

Vivian didn't want Sophia to think the Fairy Tale Mercenary Group was heartless, so she patiently explained to Sophia how much the Life Essence was worth.

To dispel Sofia's unwarranted guilt, she even moved out of the North.

Developing the North requires an extraordinary amount of money.

Sophia hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded. "Alright, I'll give you the Life Essence of the Fairy Tale Mercenary Group. Your group leader can set the price himself."

"Your Highness, rest assured, our Fairy Tale Mercenary Group will never let you suffer a loss, nor will we allow arbitrary pricing."

"I believe."

A mercenary group that always cares about the health of its former comrades can't be too bad.

"Then Xavier and I will not disturb Princess Sophia any longer. You go ahead with your work. We'll go back and sort out today's events, and then report to our commander."

“Okay, wait a moment.” Sophia took out the notebook that Distin had given her from her spatial dragon scales. “Ms. Vivian, I have a request here. I wonder if your Fairy Tale Mercenary Group would be interested in taking it.”

Vivian saw the notebook in Sophia's hand. "Your Highness, please speak."

"I would like to ask your Fairy Tale Mercenary Group to help me find these plants in the notebook, and I also want similar plants."

Vivian took the notebook from Sophia, flipped through a few pages, and then took out a memory crystal from her spatial ring, recording the plants drawn in the notebook one by one into the memory crystal.

"Our Fairy Tale Mercenary Group will take on this commission. Your Highness, you don't need to pay the commission fee."

“That won’t work.” Sophia shook her head. “How about this, after we officially start cooperating, you can deduct the commission fee from the amount of life essence sold.”

"Okay... I got it."

Vivian smiled, returned the notebook to Sophia, and left the garden with Xavier. Aston, Grace, and Dalton stayed in the garden for a while before also leaving, leaving the caravan with only the four of them.

According to Sophia, if they can't find suitable candidates, they should let the four of them set off first.

Emily said goodbye to Sophia and left the garden. She needed to discuss the caravan's rules and regulations with Dalton, Aston, and Grace.

"Anna, come with me to the street. I want to buy some leather bags or other leather bags."

"What does Your Highness need a leather bag for?"

"For my friend in my dreams."

Tonight I'm summoning Lord Diding's skeleton soldiers. I wonder if I'll be able to summon them this time...

Chapter 76 I've hired an instructor for you

Thinking back to the performance of the dragon Didin skeleton soldiers last night, Sophia couldn't help but look amazed again. She hadn't expected those old farmer skeleton soldiers to be so handsome.

If we want to develop the North and make it comparable to the Flower Language Plain, improving the farmland alone is not enough; we also need to improve other aspects.

The military, in particular, must find ways to enhance its combat effectiveness.

Thinking of Eileen, who now commands five knightly orders in the Northern Garrison, this news alone would have been enough to depress her for a long time if she hadn't accidentally met Lord Distin.

Therefore, she must improve the combat effectiveness of the Northern army as soon as possible.

Forget it, I'll just have Anna take her to see what the most elite legion in the North looks like this afternoon.

Summon the ministers of the military and have them follow.

"Anna, go to the military headquarters this afternoon and tell the minister that I'm going to inspect the elite legions of Twin Moon City this afternoon, and ask them to prepare in advance."

"Yes."

"Let's go buy leather bags now. When I have money in the future, I'll buy space rings for all my friends in my dreams, so that each of them can have one."

No, it's after I officially start cooperating with the Fairy Tale Mercenary Group that I'll ask them to help me buy some small storage rings.

Sofia drifted off into a muttered monologue.

Anna followed behind Sophia, listening to Sophia's rambling and thinking that her princess was being a bit outrageous.

How long has it been?

I even have friends in the dream world.

She's a princess, how could she casually make friends in her dreams?

I really want to enter the princess's dream world and see what kind of friends she has made.

In the morning, Anna accompanied Sophia to Silvermoon Street and bought more than sixty animal skin bags.

Princess Sophia's floating figure attracted the attention of many passersby. Fortunately, it was broad daylight; if it had been night, some elderly people might have been scared half to death by seeing her floating around.

While buying a leather bag on Silvermoon Street, I also encountered clergy from the Crescent Moon Church.

The clergy of the Crescent Moon Church stepped forward and greeted Sophia.

As a member of the clergy, he naturally recognized the third princess of the Kingdom of Roland.

It is also known that the third princess of the Kingdom of Roland can summon skeleton soldiers, and may be a dark summoner.

However, what puzzled the church clergyman was that Sophia also exuded a faint aura of holiness.

It emanated from the golden fire mark between the eyebrows.

Darkness and holiness coexist...

He had never seen anything like it before, and after returning to the church, the clergyman informed the bishop of the Northern Church of the situation.

He also told the church bishop about Sophia floating away.

Sophia was completely unaware of this, and she had little regard for the tax-free Crescent Church.

At noon, Anna returned to the castle, had lunch there, and after a short rest, she got up and left the castle for the military headquarters.

Around 3 p.m., Anna arrived at the castle with three military ministers.

The three military ministers were two strong, middle-aged men and one elderly man.

The elderly man's hair was half white, but when he stood, he was upright and had the air of a soldier.

The uniforms worn by the three military ministers were faded from washing.

The style of the military uniforms is also a bit... ugly.

They don't look as dashing as the soldiers in the capital.

"Minister of the Army Cyril greets Your Highness."

"Minister of the Army Griffin greets Your Highness."

"Minister of the Army...Straid... greets Your Highness."

The three military ministers placed their right hands on their chests and bowed to Sofia.

"Ministers Cyril, Griffin, and Strayder, good afternoon. Anna should have told you the reason for summoning you here today. I would like to meet the elite legions of the North and see their daily training. Is that alright?"

"The entire Northern Territory belongs to Your Highness. If Your Highness wishes to observe the legion's daily training, there is naturally no problem."

"Shall we head to the military camp now?"

"As Your Highness wishes."

"Then let's go."

There are four military camps in Twin Moon City, one each in the southeast, northwest and southwest.

Of the four military camps, the legion stationed in the Silver Moon Camp has the highest combat strength.

Sophia went to the Silvermoon Army camp to observe the daily training of the soldiers.

Upon entering the military camp, Sophia was dumbfounded. Some of the soldiers were training shirtless, carrying logs.

Some soldiers were slashing at each other with unopened iron swords and knives.

The uniforms they wore were all different colors, and some soldiers were not even wearing uniforms.

"General Strayed, is the military so poor that it can't even afford to issue uniforms to its soldiers?"

"Your Highness, we are indeed that poor. Our priority now is to ensure that the soldiers are well-fed and that their pay is paid on time. They should avoid wearing their uniforms during daily training..."

Sofia was speechless. The treatment of soldiers in the North was... way too bad!

Not only are the uniforms ugly, but the North can't even afford to issue them...

“Generals, I will change this situation as soon as possible and strive to ensure that every soldier in the North has a new uniform to wear.”

"Your Highness, please don't be hard on yourself. You've only been in the Northern Territory for a short time, and so far... you've already done very well."

The half-gray-haired veteran, Strad, smiled. He was a close friend of Agriculture Minister Connor and knew about the prince's recent actions.

They also knew about the experimental fields.

This prince is quite good; his decision to prioritize feeding the people is perfectly acceptable.

"General, may I see what the soldiers look like when they march in formation?"

"can."

Veteran Streid gave Cyril a look, and soon after, a line of fifty people, neatly arranged, walked past Sofia.

Sophia shook her head, noting the lack of spirit and energy that Lord Dragon Didin's skeleton soldiers possessed when they marched.

They seemed to be training quite well...

"Your Highness is not satisfied with them?"

“Hmm.” Sophia looked at Strayder: “General, I’d like to hire an instructor to train them. Do you… have any objections?”

"No."

"After dinner tonight, the three generals will come to the castle to see me, and I will introduce them to the instructors I have hired."

"it is good."

Having agreed on the matter, Sophia turned and left the military camp.

It was a little after 7 p.m.

After dinner, Sophia went back to her bedroom to change into a black robe. Then she went to the first-floor hall, took out a staff from her spatial ring, chanted a spell, and summoned skeleton soldiers.

As the convoluted incantation was uttered, a black and red summoning circle appeared on the floor of the first-floor lobby.

A moment later, a black and red light rose from the center of the formation.

Upon seeing this, Sophia nervously gripped her staff, praying in her heart: "It must be the skeleton soldiers of Lord Destin the dragon. If they are skeleton soldiers of other lords, I'll just have to send them back the way they came."

Lord Destin, please bless me, it must be your skeleton soldier!

The black and red light in the center of the formation dissipated, and a familiar-looking skeleton soldier appeared in the center of the formation.

Chapter 77 Please call him Instructor Number 65

65.

The skeletal skull had two conspicuous bluish-purple numbers on its forehead.

Sophia's face lit up with surprise. Just as she was about to greet Skeleton Soldier No. 65, she noticed that the soul fire in No. 65's eye sockets had become sharp and cold, and a black and red scythe had appeared on his bone claws.

This is a posture indicating readiness to attack.

"Number 65, that's me!"

Sophia hurriedly took off her hood and floated to the front of the magic circle, letting skeleton number 65 see her face.

Sophia, the little devil who is in charge of the farm?

Upon seeing Sophia's face, the sharp, cold soul fire of Skeleton 65 reverted to its previous dull yet gentle, pulsating mode.

The scythe on its bone claws also turned into soul fire and dissipated.

"Crackling, crackling, crackling?"

"Why haven't I gone back yet? I still have some things to finish. Lord Destin asked me to help him find something in the human world."
