#182 - Section 182
Allen's words made Bacchus slightly stunned, and then he was overjoyed: "Your Grace, are you serious? Is there really a magical beast that can fertilize the land?"
"Of course."
Allen said with a smile: "The Duchy of Allen is in ruins and needs to be rebuilt. I also gained something from this trip to the north. I brought back some samples and will try them in Moore Territory first."
He snapped his fingers and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this today. Let's eat something first, and then rest. As for the land problem, we'll solve it tomorrow."
"I'll have someone prepare some food right away."
The administrator of Moore Territory immediately walked towards the kitchen.
Soon, a table of decent food was prepared.
It was much better than Allen had imagined. Allen thought that Moore Territory was almost unable to afford food, but unexpectedly, the food was still delicious steak and wine.
This is the life of the nobility.
Allen ate his fill and went to rest with Lucy in his arms.
The next morning, he took the Minister of Agriculture Bacchus and the administrator of Moore Territory, Green Moore, to a barren piece of land near the main city.
As a Saint-level Magister, Allen could easily manipulate the earth elements of the entire Moore Territory, allowing them to temporarily revert to the appearance of soil.
This shocked the surrounding knights and Bacchus.
Bacchus was so shocked that he knelt down on the spot, once believing that Allen was a god descended to earth.
After all, in this world, Saint-level Magisters are too rare. Not to mention Saint-level, even mages are extremely rare.
Although Bacchus had reached his current position and had seen some mages, it was not even a fraction compared to a Saint-level Magister.
Allen's ability to directly change the soil quality of the entire Moore Territory was thanks to the power of the rules.
Allen merely snapped his fingers, and all the desertified land in front of Bacchus and the others turned into normal-looking yellow mud.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this was equivalent to a miracle, especially in the eyes of Bacchus, who was engaged in agricultural affairs, Allen was a god.
"Okay, stop kneeling and come over to take a look."
Allen squatted on the ground and touched the soil. Although it had returned to the appearance of soil, it was undeniable that this land was already ruined, and even weeds might not grow.
"Now I am going to put a magical creature called earthworms into it, Bacchus, afterwards, you pay attention to the situation here for me, and see how long it will take for Moore Territory to recover."
After Allen finished speaking, he waved his hand, and immediately, earthworms the size of palms appeared in front of Bacchus.
"Earthworms? Oh, no, this… this is an earthworm! ?"
Bacchus widened his eyes: "This… isn't this the earthworm that only the Church of the Earth Mother can cultivate? Unbelievable, how is it possible… this… this is a treasure!"
Bacchus's words made Allen stunned. What the hell?
Only the Church of the Earth Mother can cultivate earthworms?
Allen touched his nose: "Bacchus! Calm down a bit!"
Bacchus was so excited that he was almost crazy, and Allen had to remind him.
"Yes, Your Grace!"
Bacchus then came back to his senses, and cautiously approached the little earthworms that Allen had released on the land in front of him.
"May the Mother Goddess protect us, I knew it, Your Grace is the messenger of the Mother Goddess, otherwise how could there be earthworms?"
Bacchus muttered to himself.
ps: Chapter 4, ask for monthly tickets, ask for flowers, ask for evaluation tickets, ask for self-order! .

"There are a total of one thousand earthworms, Bacchus. Since you know them, then you should know their habits and characteristics, right?" Allen said with a chuckle.
He glanced at the earthworms on the ground. These magical creatures, which looked similar to earthworms, were very clean. Although they were called earthworms, they were, after all, semi-elemental life forms. Their bodies were almost composed of elements, so even if they burrowed underground for a day, their bodies would not get dirty.
So they all looked light yellow, with a faint glow.
After this group of earthworms appeared, they did not immediately burrow into the ground, but raised their heads to face Allen. They were similar to earthworms, and looked soft.
"Your Grace, I have only heard of this kind of creature. You also know that we are on the edge of the continent and have no chance to really see this kind of creature."
"If it weren't for Your Grace's greatness today, I don't think I would have had the chance to see earthworms in my life." Bacchus said here, and wanted to kneel down to Allen again.
Allen was speechless. He was really annoyed by this guy.
"Stop it!"
Allen glared at Bacchus.
"If you don't know, then study it slowly. Now I will give you these thousand earthworms. One earthworm can probably take care of ten square meters of land. Let these thousand earthworms be placed in Moore Territory for research first. After a month, Bacchus, you come back and tell me the specific situation."
Allen was only responsible for providing earthworms. The rest of the questions about how to restore soil fertility were the responsibility of Bacchus, the Minister of Agriculture.
After all, Allen was a Grand Duke, a monarch, not a 830 worker. His task was to issue orders.
"Yes, Your Grace, praise your greatness."
Bacchus said sincerely, with the secret of the Church of the Earth Mother in hand, he was full of confidence.
As for why Grand Duke Allen would have this kind of treasure, Bacchus didn't care.
After leaving Bacchus and Green behind, Allen led his men back to his capital city at a leisurely pace.
After resolving the issues in the South, Allen was free from worries. Now, his main focus could be placed on the main quest and the other side quest.
Of course, Allen also understood that after becoming a Grand Duke, side quests would probably be triggered frequently. It wouldn't be as difficult as before, where finding a side quest was quite challenging.
"Quest: The Rejuvenating Duchy - Royal Capital!"
"The Rejuvenating Duchy - Royal Capital: This is your country and should have your royal capital. The old royal capital cannot accommodate the new ruler. Please establish your own royal capital."
"Quest Reward: Experience * 200,000! Aura of the Royal Capital!"
"Aura of the Royal Capital: An aura unique to the buildings of the royal capital. As the location of the monarch, it is the heart of the country, gathering the nation's destiny and forming a unique aura. Aura effect: Royal capital residents' fortune +20, main city residents' fortune within the duchy +10, other (cfbh) residents' fortune within the duchy +5."
"Evaluation: Under the light of the nation, the people will receive the blessing of destiny. What is destiny? Perhaps it is good luck, perhaps it is wealth, perhaps it is power."
Allen raised his eyebrows slightly. He had already started this main quest long ago. Expanding it probably wouldn't take too long, after all, his 50,000-strong Orc engineering team wasn't just for show.
The main quest wasn't a problem, so the only thing he needed to focus on was the side quest.
As for the Heart of a Demigod, Allen planned to study it slowly after building some transcendent structures. Anyway, it was in his inventory.
Now, Allen's focus should be on construction. He had unlocked so many buildings before, and Allen had been wanting to take them out and have a look.
Because of the construction issue, Allen had specifically modified the expansion plan of the royal capital, reserving a lot of open space.
"Someone, bring Marco here."
After thinking for a while, Allen immediately called Marco over.
"Grand Duke!"
Marco knelt on one knee and saluted Allen.
Allen told him to rise before speaking: "Marco, tomorrow, bring all the Level 6 Knights in the palace to the new royal capital."
Marco was stunned: "Your Excellency, although their cultivation is rapid, they haven't broken through to become Golden Knights after all. Letting them go out at this time, is this...?"
Marco remembered that Allen had valued these Level 6 Knights very much, and had almost issued an order that they were not allowed to move around freely unless they reached Level 7.
But now, why was it different?
Allen chuckled. He wore luxurious clothes and poured himself a glass of fine wine from a table on the side: "Because the gods will grant us sufficient blessings."
Hearing Allen's meaningful words, Marco was immediately stunned, and then revealed a look of excitement.
"Your Excellency, could it be?!"
Marco revealed a knowing look.
"The War God's blessing?!"
It wasn't that he didn't know about the War God's blessing. On the contrary, as the knight who had followed Allen for the longest time, he was very aware of the War God's blessing.
Under the power of the War God, even ordinary people could quickly become warriors or knights.
Marco still felt shocked about that.
That was definitely a miracle, definitely!
Because he had never heard of any country being able to have this kind of ability, even within the empire, there was no such power.
Apart from being a true miracle, there was no other explanation.
But shouldn't these only be aimed at the basics?
All along, the War God's blessing had been able to make ordinary people stronger and gain the qualifications to cultivate.
But this time, Allen was actually going to continue the War God's blessing on Level 6 Knights?
Marco gasped. This... could this be because His Excellency the Grand Duke's relationship with the War God had become even closer?!
As soon as this thought arose, Marco felt that he was close to the truth.
Incredible!
Marco's gaze towards Allen became even more respectful and worshipful.
At least, he had never heard of anyone else being able to communicate with the gods.
Worthy of being the man watched by the War God.
When Allen heard Marco say this, he immediately nodded: "That's right, so go and prepare. Depart tomorrow morning to the new royal capital."
As Allen spoke, he casually dismissed Marco.
"Yes, Grand Duke!"
Marco said respectfully with his head lowered. His Excellency was becoming more and more unfathomable.
After Marco left, the first thing Allen did was to call Sparrow and Oliver.
Most of Allen's gold coins were flowing through Sparrow's hands.
Money can only generate more money when it is in circulation.
"Grand Duke, what instructions do you have for us?"
Sparrow and Oliver appeared respectfully before Allen.
Allen smiled: "Of course I'm looking for you for money."
"Well, Sparrow, immediately take out two million gold coins and send them to the palace."
Allen said quickly.
Sparrow nodded: "As you wish."
Although they had countless issues that required gold coins, Allen was the Grand Duke, and the entire duchy revolved around Allen.
Anything Allen needed, even if it was a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, they had to retrieve it.
Not long after Sparrow and the others left.
A full ten-odd carriages transporting gold coins were sent in from outside the palace.
Allen was very satisfied with Sparrow's efficiency. He waved his hand, and immediately, all the gold coins entered his inventory.
