The blood moon rose high into the sky, and the night became the time for the monsters to celebrate.

If not for the seven-day beginner protection period, there would definitely be news of monsters attacking some castles tonight.

“It seems that when the novice protection period is over, these monsters will be our first assessment.”

“I doubt those Castle Lords who had summoned the weaker battle units will even survive the first night.”

At the same time, Gale was very glad.

Thankfully, he didn’t ask her to continue hunting monsters, or Cicely would definitely be in danger.

Gale returned to the castle.

The light ray from the blood moon made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

After returning to the castle, Gale had a simple dinner, before washing up and going to bed early.

Cicely, on the other hand, did not need to rest, thus she acted as the guardian of the castle.

…

The next day.

The blood moon hanging in the sky had disappeared, replaced once again by the blazing sun.

The comforting sunlight shone on the ground once again.

Gale had gotten up early, and under the preparations made by Cicely, he finished washing up.

Cicely then brought him to the dining room of the castle.

“Did you make all these?”

Gale pointed to the food on the wooden table.

There was still some steam coming from the top of the food. Clearly, it had just been cooked.

“Yes, Master.”

Her answer was short.

Gale bit off a small piece of meat and chewed on it.

He swallowed the food before speaking, “It tastes good, but I don’t need to make so much next time. It’s a little wasteful.”

The food on the wooden table was enough for three people to have their fill.

While the other Castle Lords were still starving and even faced the risk of being eaten by the soldiers. They had no choice but to live their lives on the edge.

In comparison, Gale’s standard of living was definitely that of a landlord.

This breakfast was something the other Castle Lords could not imagine.

After breakfast, Gale had something very important to do today.

That’s right, to summon new battle units!

Gale led Cicely to the barracks.

As though sensing the impending arrival of a new companion, Cicely’s face was filled with joy.

At this moment, a prompt sounded.

[Recruit now?]

“Begin recruitment!”

[Please select the battle unit!]

“Dragon race—Gold Dragon!”

[Selecting your recruitment choice!]

The reason why Gale chose the dragon race was very simple.

The combat power of the dragon race was extremely strong, and they even had the ability to transform. Who wouldn’t want to have such a battle unit?

Coupled with the fact that his military building was a special building, the dragons summoned were much stronger than those seen normally.

Whether it was potential or strength, they would receive a huge increase.

As the notification sounded…

The originally calm water surface produced ripples, the disturbance even greater than yesterday!

With yesterday’s experience, Gale covered his eyes and waited for the golden dragon to appear.

A dazzling golden light shot out from the center of the pool.

Roar!

Hearing the roar of a dragon, Gale lowered his hands that were covering his eyes.

A two-meter long golden dragon had appeared before him.

Gale did not find this strange at all.

He naturally would have summoned a Gold Dragon that had yet to reach maturity.

Thus, he asked, “Can you transform into a human form?”

The Golden Dragon blinked its large eyes and nodded.

A weak golden light completely covered the dragon’s body.

Five seconds passed, and the light shrunk before vanishing completely.

What appeared in front of Gale was a girl wearing a pink costume with two small horns on her head.

There was a faint blush on both sides of her cheeks.

“Ma-master,” the girl said respectfully.

As it was her first time speaking in the human language, she was not very familiar with it.

“You’re the Gold Dragon?” Gale examined the girl in front of him.

He had always thought that the Gold Dragon species were all male and did not expect to see a female from that species.

It had to be said that this military building was quite capable in the aesthetics department.

“Yes, Master.” The girl nodded.

At this moment, Cicely walked to Gale and bowed. “Master, shouldn’t you give her a name?”

Hearing her reminder, Gale nodded.

It would be much more convenient for him to give orders in the future with a nice name.

After pondering for a moment, he said to the girl, “You’ll be called Elena from now on.”

Elena thanked him and smiled. Her dimples made her look like a small adorable girl.

“Check the Gold Dragon’s information template!”

Gale recited to himself.

Not long after, the virtual interface appeared in front of him.

[Gold Dragon (Elena)]

[Current Growth Stage: Infant]

[Strength: Tier 4 (Kill enemies to obtain Energy for upgrading)]

[Potential: God Tier possible at Perfect Form]

[Loyalty: 100 (Absolute Loyalty)]

[Note: Loyalty Meter has been locked. This type of battle unit’s Loyalty Meter will never drop.]

“The same panel attributes as Cicely.”

Gale was overjoyed.

This also meant that Elena had the same potential as Cicely.

There might be some deviation, but it would be inconsequential.

After all, Cicely was an elf, so her bloodline would naturally be more noble than other creatures.

It was precisely because of the differences in bloodlines that all living beings had different potentials.

Seemingly sensing the suppression of her bloodline, Elena raised her head slightly and looked at Cicely, who was standing in front of her. Elena’s hands tightly gripped the hem of her clothes, appearing somewhat reserved.

Gale took the opportunity to ask, “Elena, what skills do you have?”

Upon hearing the voice, Elena was stunned for a moment before she immediately replied, “Master, I can use magic power to augment and boost other creatures. Of course, I also have powerful attacks.”

Gale’s eyes lit up when he heard that.

He did not expect that Elena was actually a Gold Dragon that was versed in auxiliary methods.

This was equivalent to Gale obtaining a Gold Dragon that could be used for attack and defense.

Then, Elena began a series of demonstrations.

She first summoned a tiny Five Elements Magic Circle that covered her wrist.

Gale, who was closest to Elena, sensed a strange feeling.

It was as though his body had become much lighter.

Then, Elena demonstrated her attack method.

This time, she used the Five Elements Magic Circle to summon a long sword that was burning with demonic flames.

A red gem was embedded in the hilt of the sword.

Swoosh!

Elena waved her sword, and a half-meter-tall fiery red sword aura shot toward the protective shield not far away.

Bang!

The sword energy drew a long and narrow gully on the ground.

There was still a trace of fire in the sword scar.

However, the moment the Sword Aura touched the protective barrier, it disappeared.

Since the newbie’s protection period was not over yet, it would nullify all attacks.

“Not bad.”

“Cicely, today you’ll take Elena to hunt monsters.”

Following the command, there was no need to waste words.

Cicely flew toward the forest with Elena.

Gale watched the battle units leave and sighed to himself.

“This military building is quite skewed, specially arranging for me only female battle units.”

It had to be said that this military building was quite capable in the aesthetics department.

The battle units summoned were both good-looking.

Cicely’s appearance was more like an older sister, while Elena was more like a loli.
