#184 - Section 184

Allen glared at them, and immediately all the minotaurs lowered their heads, looking at their feet.

At this moment, the minotaur who had just said, "I'm hungry," said somewhat cautiously, "Can I have more water?"

Allen was almost amused by this guy.

Then he noticed that the other minotaurs were looking at him with confused expressions, seemingly sharing the same bewilderment.

"…Alright, alright, go eat as usual. I won't reduce your food rations. I'm a Grand Duke now, after all."

Allen was truly helpless and could only let these minotaurs leave.

"Moo!"

Immediately, all the minotaurs cheered again, and the atmosphere instantly returned to its previous state, with each of them going to the place that specially provided them with food, arm in arm.

Allen had always been generous to his own people. The minotaurs' food was extremely good, with meat, eggs, and wine all provided in abundance.

It could be said that, in the expenses of Allen Duchy, feeding these fifty thousand beastmen was a huge expense.

Watching the beastmen leave, Allen shook his head. He glanced at Amy, who was excitedly flying around him.

This was the normal reaction! "Amy!"

"Yup, this is what I built."

"Amy?"

"What are you suspecting? Don't you know about miracles? Do you understand miracles?"

"Amy!"

"…Fine, I'll give you your favorite magic crystals to eat later."

Allen and Amy had a brief exchange. Because this place was close to the construction area and also Allen's former residence, very few people would come here.

Allen sat directly on the clean floor. Just after this open-air training ground was built, he felt the fighting energy in his body slightly activate.

This feeling was very faint, but it couldn't escape Allen's powerful mental strength.

"Let me test the effect of this training ground." Allen was slightly curious.

Soon, he closed his eyes and circulated his fighting energy.

After a while, Allen opened his eyes.

"It can even have a slight effect on me?" Allen looked at the entire empty training ground in surprise.

If even a Saint domain could feel it was useful, it meant that the effect of this training ground was beyond Allen's imagination.

He nodded in satisfaction and then left with Amy.

Now, he just needed to wait until tomorrow when those level six knights came to know the specific effect.

Thinking this, Allen didn't directly return to the royal palace of the old capital, but instead wandered around and came to the dwarves' street.

This place was completely different from its initial deserted state.

Although the dwarves were all straightforward and quick-tempered, they were also very enthusiastic, kind, and very upright.

They liked forging and also liked drinking.

When their temper flared up, they might directly resort to violence.

But they were very willing to help others and were warm-hearted.

The dwarves' kindness and warm-heartedness were quickly recognized by humans, and they had completely integrated into the entire Sirius City.

The entire dwarf tribe even felt that they should have met Allen earlier, because life in Sirius City was too perfect.

After Copperbeard and the others had more contact with humans, they immediately discovered that not all humans were wickedly bad.

Many people were also kind-hearted people.

Many people, after becoming familiar with them, would come here to buy some tools and the like.

Everyone got along very well.

When Allen arrived here, he happened to see Copperbeard teaching several human children about forging.

"Oh, esteemed Grand Duke Allen."

Copperbeard quickly noticed Allen, who was smiling not far away. He immediately put down the small iron hammer and some farm tools in his hand and came to Allen and knelt down.

"Grand Duke?!"

The children's eyes lit up even more when they saw Allen.

Now, everyone in Sirius City knew that Allen was a great hero and a capable figure.

Nowadays, Allen's story has become a household name throughout Sirius City, and has even been turned into a legendary story to be passed down…

The traveling bards wrote the story into their poems and spread it throughout the duchy, while others had already left Allen Duchy to tell the story of a young man named Allen in more distant places.

Allen has now become the idol of all the children in Sirius City.

Allen's appearance naturally made the children's eyes light up.

"Copperbeard, it seems you're living a good life." Allen said after helping Copperbeard up.

"Are these little guys your apprentices?" Allen asked with interest. If Copperbeard was willing to take apprentices, Allen would definitely give him a bunch of them.

"Hahaha, not apprentices, just came out on a whim to tell them a little more, and these are still your students, Grand Duke." Copperbeard's words made Allen stunned, and then he remembered that he seemed to have indeed started a school.

"Ah, the busyness of war almost made me forget that I still have a group of lovely students."

Allen smiled and then said to the little guys, "Little guys, keep up the good work. My country needs you."

Allen's words immediately made these little guys blush with excitement.

"Grand Duke, don't worry, we will definitely become the best blacksmiths and forge weapons for you." The children said loudly, and Copperbeard laughed heartily upon hearing this.

These were students from the Blacksmith Academy. They had no classes this afternoon, so they ran out to chat with Copperbeard.

Allen casually dismissed the children, and then said to Copperbeard, "Copperbeard, you should have heard that I have become a Saint domain knight."

"Yes, sir, your reputation has resounded throughout the southern duchies. Everyone knows your name." Copperbeard said with awe. A Dragon Knight was enough to receive the respect and awe of any race.

"Since that's the case, then I'll be direct. The previous golden knight armor is no longer suitable for me, and neither is the golden knight sword." Allen directly took out the knight armor and knight sword from his inventory.

Copperbeard looked at the knight sword, which was already full of cracks, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

"Sir, did you come this time to have Copperbeard forge a custom Dragon Knight Armor and Dragon Knight Sword for you?" Copperbeard's eyes lit up, and there was a faint trace of saliva flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Crafting knight armor for the Grand Duke, doesn't that mean he can once again use the world's most precious dragon-type metal materials?!

"Yes, Copperbeard, I need Dragon Knight Armor, and a longsword. The opponents I face in the future will all be Saint-tier powerhouses, even Dragon Knights."

Allen spoke solemnly, he has never been an arrogant person.

In his heart, if he can develop, he will definitely not choose war.

From beginning to end, all wars were provoked by enemies, they were greedy and full of ambition, but they just had bad luck, meeting Allen.

Again and again, they contributed to Allen's achievements.

But this does not mean that Allen is invincible.

He is only just starting out, there are many strong people in this world, he has only just set foot in the Saint-tier, of course he must be careful and subtle.

If he can achieve perfection, Allen is unwilling to have the slightest mistake.

"Oh, that's natural. You have already entered the Saint-tier, and while gaining status, glory, and power, you will inevitably face greater power and difficulties."

Copperbeard's thick beard trembled as he spoke.

"At this time, Dragon Knight Armor is indispensable. Dragon Knight Armor fused with your dragon aura is the most suitable for you, and of course, other Dragon Knights are also the same."

Copperbeard said with a smile, his hands fidgeting a little, and then there was some desire in his eyes.

To this day, he still can't forget the dragon-type metal materials Allen gave him last time.

That touch, that perfect flexibility, hardness, and load-bearing capacity.

With every hammer strike, Copperbeard could feel the change in the metal, that wonderful feeling is still fresh in Copperbeard's memory.

That was just a piece of dragon-type metal, and most of it was gold.

Now, if he were to forge a suit of knight armor made entirely of dragon-type metal.

The amount of metal material needed would be considerable.

This means that he can happily forge iron with dragon-type metal again!

Copperbeard's little beard trembled with excitement.

"Grand Duke Allen, as you know, because this knight armor and knight sword are all made of dragon-type metal, so the material..."

Copperbeard smiled, revealing a row of slightly yellow teeth.

Allen nodded: "I understand this. In a few days, I will find someone to send a batch of dragon-type metal, and then I will have to trouble you."

As soon as he heard Allen say this, Copperbeard immediately jumped up. This dwarf looked excited and shouted loudly to the street.

"Everyone listen up, Grand Duke Allen wants to forge knight armor, starting tomorrow, everyone prepare to warm up!"

Looking at Copperbeard's excited appearance, Allen smiled. He didn't understand the dwarves' fanaticism for forging iron, but he very much appreciated this enthusiasm.

"Copperbeard, is there enough wood and stone here?"

Allen suddenly said, his system has also unlocked the blacksmith shop.

Anyway, he's here, so he might as well directly replace the dwarves' blacksmith shop. Allen saw it when he unlocked it. This blacksmith shop also has extraordinary power, which has bonuses and special effects for forging weapons and tools.

"Huh? Wood and stone?"

Copperbeard's originally excited mood paused slightly.

"It seems there isn't any."

Allen sighed, his body swayed slightly and appeared at the construction site of Skywolf City.

With a wave of his hand, he took away a large amount of wood and stone, and with another flash, he returned to Copperbeard.

Allen's operation made Copperbeard a little confused. He did know that after reaching the Saint-tier strength, there would be all kinds of incredible methods.

But Copperbeard had never really seen the methods of a Saint-tier powerhouse, and today was considered the first time he had seen it.

"Copperbeard, today I have a gift for you, as a little reward for you."

Allen smiled slightly at Copperbeard, and then he snapped his fingers slightly with both hands. Immediately, Copperbeard and the others' original blacksmith shop collapsed instantly.

Copperbeard was stunned, what... what kind of reward is this?!

Before this dwarf could say anything, the next moment, white rays of light appeared. On the ruins, under the white light, a tall, bright building appeared in front of Copperbeard.

This is a three-story black and white building. The first floor is very bright. At a glance, it is a familiar blacksmith shop.

The moment this three-story blacksmith shop appeared, Copperbeard felt an unusual feeling.

"This... this is completely different from before. Heavens, Grand Duke Allen, what did you do? Is it some kind of magic?"

Copperbeard said in shock, his eyes widened. This dwarf walked into the blacksmith shop with some surprise.

To be honest, compared to the previous blacksmith shop, he felt that this new blacksmith shop was much more pleasing to the eye.

"How is it, Copperbeard, do you like it?"

Allen said with a smile.

"I love it too much, it's just perfect, sir!"

Copperbeard exclaimed.

Allen chuckled: "Soon you will know that it is more perfect than you imagined. This is a gift I give you."

When he first built the blacksmith shop, he took a look at the effect of the blacksmith shop.

As expected, this blacksmith shop belongs to an extraordinary building, and its own effects can improve blacksmithing efficiency, save 20% of the blacksmith's physical strength, and the most powerful thing is that it has a probability of creating higher-level weapons.

In other words, if Copperbeard originally forged ordinary magic weapons, then maybe with the bonus of this blacksmith shop, he could directly forge high-quality magic weapons.

Of course, the blacksmith shop also has many effects, such as being able to have enchantment bonuses when enchanting, and so on.

Even if Allen is a layman, after seeing these bonuses, he also understands that this blacksmith shop will definitely be Copperbeard's favorite in the future.

After saying this, Allen greeted Copperbeard and then left the street, leaving Copperbeard stunned in place.
