#178 - Section 178 - From Baron to Lord

“Two-Headed Wyvern: A magical creature possessing partial dragon blood, and one of the overlord races of the sky.”

“Two-Headed Wyvern (Ancient Magical Species): 150,000 Merit Points/Head!”

The moment he saw these three species, Allen's heart stirred.

This was exactly the kind of species he needed.

The Earthworm and Siren could completely help him develop agriculture and fishing, while the Two-Headed Wyvern, a magical beast with the word 'Dragon' in its name and possessing dragon blood, was worth 150,000 merit points, showing just how ferocious it was.

It was definitely comparable to an overlord-level creature!

Even more powerful than a Griffin!

He had to acquire these three creatures!

Allen gritted his teeth and directly exchanged for one of each species.

Immediately, the system's species unlocking function began to unlock the species.

“Ding! Congratulations, Host, for unlocking the magical creature Earthworm. Reward: Earthworm * 100!”

“Ding! Congratulations, Host, for unlocking the magical creature Siren. Reward: Siren * 30!”

“Ding! Congratulations, Host, for unlocking the ancient magical species Two-Headed Wyvern! Reward: Two-Headed Wyvern * 20!”

Having purchased the species, Allen immediately received the species unlocking messages.

“The remaining merit points… I'll buy two dragon eggs first!” Allen excitedly clicked directly into the dragon species section.

However, to his dismay, he couldn't choose the type.

Purchasing species in the merit shop didn't allow him to choose the type.

This left Allen dumbfounded.

“Not being able to choose the type is soulless.”

Allen snorted and then saved all his merit points.

He now had about 3.8 million merit points left.

“I'll buy a batch with gold coins when I get back, saving merit points. Good steel should be used on the blade.”

Allen immediately remembered that he could also buy dragon eggs with gold coins, and couldn't help but marvel at the excellence of the system.

Fortunately, he couldn't choose the type, otherwise Allen would have really had to spend merit points to buy them, which would have been too uneconomical.

In the future, if he could buy them with gold coins, he would.

Merit points were too precious, and no matter how many he had, they would never be enough.

Allen fiddled around in the room for a while before finally resting.

After all, this wasn't the Allen Duchy, and even if he was excited, he could only endure it.

The next morning, Allen walked out of the castle. Although the castle was extremely luxurious and comfortable, it wasn't his castle after all.

Outside the castle, a carriage was already waiting, specially prepared for him.

“Grand Duke Allen.”

Duke Will rode a white magical beast, not knowing whether he had been waiting at the street corner for a long time or had just arrived. 830 Allen saw the Kingdom Duke not long after leaving the castle.

This guy was a Saint-level knight, and most likely hadn't been able to tame a dragon, so he could only be a Duke in the kingdom.

“Duke Will, good morning.”

Allen casually greeted him.

“Grand Duke Allen, are you planning to leave?”

Duke Will looked at Allen's carriage heading out of the royal capital and was slightly surprised.

“Yes, Duke Will. Although the Norton Kingdom is prosperous, it is not my territory after all.”

Allen said with a smile. There were still many trivial matters in his Allen Duchy that he hadn't been able to handle, and now that the system had activated new function permissions, he was even less willing to stay here for long.

“So that's how it is. No wonder His Majesty praised you so highly. Seeing how much you care about your territory, I can understand a thing or two.”

Duke Will said with a smile, “Then shall I see you off?”

Allen didn't refuse. Anyway, it was a small matter, and Allen suddenly thought of something he could ask this Duke along the way.

“That would be great. I happen to have some questions I wanted to ask someone. Duke Will should have lived in the Norton Kingdom for a long time, right?”

Allen smiled slightly and began to inquire.

“That's right, Grand Duke Allen. I was born in a Marquis territory in the west of the kingdom.”

Duke Will smiled slightly, as if recalling his childhood and youth.

It seemed that this Duke was once a prominent figure, after all, being able to become a Saint-level knight meant he must have been a genius.

Judging by the rules of this world, geniuses almost certainly become famous, otherwise they would perish.

After all, a genius without resources is not a genius.

There were extremely few people on the continent like Allen, who secretly and quietly reached the Saint-level.

Becoming famous at a young age and being proud and successful was probably Duke Will's most glorious time.

“So you're a kingdom noble.” Allen said with a smile.

Kingdom nobles and duchy nobles are different, just like nobles enfeoffed by Grand Dukes and nobles enfeoffed by Earls.

Although everyone has fiefs, nobles enfeoffed by Earls are inherently at a disadvantage in front of nobles enfeoffed by Grand Dukes.

“Hahaha, Grand Duke Allen, do you still need to care about kingdom nobles or duchy nobles? With your current status, kingdom nobles have to curry favor with you.” Duke Will said with a laugh.

Allen didn't dwell on the topic and directly raised his question.

“Duke Will, when I came from the south, I noticed that even though it was the snowy winter, there were still crops growing within the kingdom. Don't the farmland need to be rested?” This was the question Allen cared about. If he could farm in the winter like the kingdom, it would be a huge benefit to the agricultural development of the Allen Duchy.

“Oh, you're talking about that. I forgot that this is your first time coming to the kingdom, right?” Duke Will revealed a look of realization upon hearing this.

“That's thanks to the soil nutrient preservation and warming magic arrays.” Duke Will smiled slightly.

Magic arrays?

Allen raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise: “Oh?”

“Magicians?”

Duke Will nodded: “Magicians, in fact, there are many categories of magicians. Not all magicians like war, on the contrary, many prefer to combine magic with reality and research some incredible things.”

“This kind of magic array was created by a faction of academic magicians, and it can maintain soil fertility and temperature, allowing for winter cultivation. However, because it is magic after all, the cost is not small. Although some farmland uses this technology, it is impossible for the entire country to do so.”

“You should have seen the land in the south, right? In fact, the land in the north did not have winter cultivation this year, because the land in the north was cultivated last year.”

“After all, whether it is farmers or farmland, they still have to rest. Although there is magic array protection and support, it is ultimately just a means and cannot truly maintain perfect soil fertility.” Duke Will was quite forthcoming with Allen.

Allen was deeply touched upon hearing this. He originally thought that this world didn't value agriculture or industry at all.

Now it seemed that it wasn't truly ignored, and there were still some people who cared very much about these things.

Magicians were not all warmongers. Judging by Duke Will's meaning, it seemed that a large part of them were academic.

They were doing research.

“Incredible…”

Allen was a little surprised in his heart. It turned out that he was only in a corner of the continent, and he hadn't seen the real continent yet.

“Oh, we're at the entrance.”

The carriage and the magical beast were very fast, and after a short chat, they were almost near the gate of the Norton Royal Capital.

“Then I won't see you off, Grand Duke Allen.” Duke Will stopped the magical beast.

Allen nodded, and the carriage quickly drove out of the city gate.

Allen immediately got out of the carriage. The carriage had some magic arrays, and the horses didn't seem to be ordinary horses, so they moved very quickly.

“Grand Duke Allen, we'll go back first.”

A knight who was responsible for driving the carriage got out of the carriage and said respectfully to Allen.

“Go back.” Allen waved his hand.

Then he took out the token and directly opened an entrance to the Dragon Ranch in front of him.

“Safi!”

Allen called out softly.

“Roar!”

Immediately, a sapphire dragon flew out of the Dragon Ranch.

“Boom!”

The huge body landed on the ground, making a vibration sound.

“Woo woo.”

Safi lowered her head and rubbed against Allen's body.

“Let's go home, Safi.”

Allen flew onto Safi's body, and soon, the giant dragon Safi took off.

“Roar!”

The dragon's roar resounded through the sky.

“Allen!”

Allen hadn't flown out for long when he heard a familiar voice.

“Grand Duke Ryan!”

Behind Allen, Grand Duke Ryan appeared beside him riding a fire dragon.

“Allen, don't be so polite. Now that you have become a Dragon Knight, you can just call me Ryan from now on.” Grand Duke Ryan said calmly.

“Together then.”

Allen nodded: “Okay.”

“A very beautiful gem dragon, a noble among dragons.” Grand Duke Ryan said with some envy.

Allen felt a little comfortable in his heart upon hearing this, but on the surface, he still looked humble: “You flatter me.” Safi raised her head slightly proudly.

Soon, two giant dragons, one blue and one red, flew quickly towards the south. The dragons' speed was extremely fast. After the two crossed the Hilton Duchy, one went west and the other went east.

“Whoosh!”

A huge whistling sound swept past. Above the sky, a huge blue dragon hovered over the royal capital, and all the civilians had already noticed the situation in the sky.

Allen jumped directly from the dragon's back.

The fierce wind blew Allen's golden hair, making his clothes flutter.

Allen's battle qi circulated slightly, and the next moment, he appeared in the Royal Capital Square.

The statue of Grand Duke Shaq that was originally here had been carried away and replaced with Allen's statue.

“Your Grace, you're back.”

Marco had already been kneeling here (good money) waiting.

Marco, who was in the royal capital, had already sensed the moment the dragon Safi appeared.

When Allen appeared in the central square, Marco also appeared here.

“Get up.”

Allen looked at Marco, who was kneeling on the ground respectfully, and said with a chuckle.

“Yes, Your Grace.”

Marco was wearing casual clothes at the moment, still with a long sword hanging at his waist, looking very heroic.
