#244 - Section 244
Whether it was a spider, a puppy, or a little bird, they were all diligently helping Boltzmann organize the energy blocks.
Since refining the energy blocks last night, Boltzmann hadn't slept a wink, and in his excitement, he had refined quite a few energy blocks throughout the night.
"Um, Boltzmann, don't you need to rest?"
Allen said with some concern.
"Hahaha, Duke, you may not know, but as an alchemist, it's normal to go without sleep for several days."
Boltzmann indicated that there were no problems whatsoever.
"Is that so?"
Allen nodded: "How is it going?"
"Almost done, I've already made the final amount of energy blocks, Duke, we can go restart the underground ruins," Boltzmann said with a hint of excitement and fervor.
"Restart… underground ruins!" Allen also smiled.
1.7 "But we have to wait a bit."
Allen did not leave the royal capital immediately.
The auction was not over yet, and it was not appropriate for him to leave the royal capital now to go to the underground ruins.
At least he had to wait until the auction was over before Allen would go explore the underground ruins.
"You can rest for a while first," Allen said to Boltzmann.
"No, since there's still time, I want to continue refining energy blocks," Boltzmann said with a smile.
Allen didn't try to persuade him too much, just nodded: "Alright then, I'll go back and rest for a while, and when the time comes, I'll come back and notify you."
After speaking, Allen left the alchemy laboratory and returned to a castle used for living quarters.
He wasn't idle, thinking that not long ago, after the royal capital was built, Allen's system mission had been updated.
"Main Quest: Steel Dragon Dragon Knight!"
Chapter 350: Set a Small Goal, Train Ten Dragon Knights (3)
"Steel Dragon Dragon Knight: Due to the powerful strength of the Steel Dragon Augneil and the nurturing of the advanced dragon nest, the Steel Dragon Tasmiz is about to reach adulthood, please train a second Dragon Knight."
"Mission Reward: Experience Points * 500000, Large Magic Stone Mine * 10, Large Iron Mine * 20."
Allen looked at this main quest, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
To be honest, since the mission was updated, Allen had been considering the candidate for the second Dragon Knight.
There were many choices in front of him.
Such as Marco, such as Thomas, and so on.
These people who had sworn allegiance to him would forever go through fire and water for him, without hesitation.
But there was one point that Allen had to take into consideration.
That was that these people were all prominent figures in the Allen Duchy.
That is to say, they would easily attract the attention of others.
If they were trained as Dragon Knights, even if they were low-key, they would definitely be exposed.
After all, they were already under widespread scrutiny.
"Marquises cannot become Dragon Knights 25, otherwise, there's no difference from being exposed."
Allen stroked his chin.
He had been observing Jackson these past few days.
Although this knight was also a Gold Knight, he was obviously much lower-key than the others who had become Marquises.
But he wasn't the kind of person who completely lacked a sense of presence.
He belonged to a kind of guy who had a sense of presence, but extremely low.
This kind of talent was most suitable for secret training.
He didn't attract attention like Marco and the others, nor would he completely erase his traces, making others feel strange.
He was like a background, allowing people to see him at a glance, but then ignore him the next second.
"It's decided, it's Jackson, Tasmiz is about to grow up too, I have to find him a partner," Allen nodded and said.
As the owner of the Steel Dragon, Allen could of course choose a Dragon Knight for him.
"I'll talk about this after I come back from the underground ruins," Allen certainly valued this mission very much.
Not only the mission rewards, but the mission itself was a huge reward.
In the Allen Duchy, which already had a Dragon Knight and a top-tier Saint-level Ocean Singer, if it could have another Dragon Knight.
Allen's power would increase by another point.
Now that he had become a Duke, his goal was naturally to obtain the power of a kingdom.
According to the kingdom's standards, at least ten or more Dragon Knights were needed to have the structure of a kingdom, right?
Ten Dragon Knights.
"That's really a somewhat headache-inducing number."
Allen thought, stroking his chin, anyway, there was nothing to do now, he could plan his future goals.
Ten Dragon Knights, in addition to the three dragons he already owned, he would have to spend seven million gold coins to buy seven dragon eggs, and by the way, train seven Saint-level knights.
These were all small problems, the only problem Allen needed to face was time.
Even with an advanced dragon nest, the growth cycle of a normal dragon would probably not be less than several years.
This number was, to be honest, already very fast, but it was only Allen's estimate.
The real situation would have to depend on the situation of the Emerald Dragon Phil, who only relied on the dragon nest and did not obtain any other benefits, to be able to calculate it.
After all, whether it was Saffi or Tasmiz, they had obtained a large amount of dragon power from other dragons, allowing them to grow rapidly and achieve this growth rate.
As for the Emerald Dragon Phil, his body was only a dozen meters long now, and he was still far from adulthood.
"A long process."
Allen sighed.
The auction lasted a whole day, and Allen underestimated Sparrow's methods, this guy could be said to have a firm grasp of the psychology of all the nobles.
Under the constant arousal of emotions, most of the nobles in the entire venue had red eyes.
After all, no one expected that there would be so many good things at this auction.
Rare high-level magic potions emerged every now and then, and there were so many exquisite magic weapons that it was dazzling.
There were also tempting magical beast cubs, magic guides, and so on.
Many nobles felt itchy in their hearts, but they could only grit their teeth and watch others snatch away the treasures that they were longing for.
To the point that in the end, if it weren't for the fact that they thought this was the royal capital of the Allen Duchy, the nobles were afraid that they would have already started fighting.
"Bastard, this is clearly the magic guide that I took a fancy to!"
"Damn bastard! Is he a Marquis of the Hilton Duchy?!"
"Linarsen, let's duel! The winner can own everything of the other!"
The scene was once chaotic, but it was suppressed by Sparrow.
In the end, this auction almost emptied everyone's pockets.
"Hateful!"
Many nobles left the auction venue with regret.
After the auction ended, most people chose to leave immediately, while a small part stayed in the royal capital, after all, the sky was already dim.
Without exception, those who stayed were nobles who had auctioned off good things, or rather, it should be the children of the Marquises who had gotten lucky and auctioned off good things.
Everyone thought that this auction would only auction off the final gift of magic potions, so the gold coins they brought were not particularly sufficient.
Accurately speaking, if it was just the Mental Secret Potion, the final gift, it should have been more than enough.
But they miscalculated, so everyone did not bring particularly sufficient gold coins.
This also led to some good things being auctioned off by the Marquis's people.
However, they were weak, if there was no one to protect them, how could they compete with the Grand Duke-level nobles?
893 Most of the Marquis's people would follow their Grand Duke's people to leave.
And there were also a small number who stayed behind for various reasons.
Of course, Allen had to manage this, he absolutely did not allow anyone to rob halfway in his territory.
This was closely related to his reputation.
I believe that after today, everyone in the Norton Kingdom will know how excellent Allen's Sapphire Chamber of Commerce is.
After the auction ended, Sparrow went to the palace as soon as possible to report this matter to Allen.
"Duke, this time we have completely obtained a full nine hundred million gold coins, nine hundred million!" Sparrow said here, and really breathed a sigh of relief.
Allen's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.
Without saying a word, he directly took away one hundred million gold coins.
He didn't say anything before when he didn't have money.
Now that he had money, he would buy the Mind Dragon's dragon egg first, as for the other dragons.
Allen also had extra gold coins to buy.
"Well done, Sparrow, put all of this money into the construction of the railway, leave one-third for reserve," Allen said immediately, the money earned was meant to be spent.
Now that the name of the Sapphire Chamber of Commerce had been completely established this time, it was time to expand a wave.
At that time, there would only be more and more gold coins.

Chapter 351: Despicable and Shameless Scoundrels, Inside the Hall of Knowledge (4)
"Sparrow, we can start expanding the Chamber of Commerce, let's open some branch Chambers of Commerce in the Lyon Duchy, the Hilton Duchy, and the Jomony Duchy first," Allen said decisively.
"I understand, Duke."
Sparrow bowed and said: "In addition, Duke, the Third Prince of the Jomony Duchy seems to have some conflicts with the First Prince of the Lyon Duchy…"
Allen's expression immediately changed to one of understanding upon hearing this.
"I know," Allen left the palace immediately.
Soon he arrived at the scene.
This was on a plain outside of Allen's royal capital.
George had already stopped Linarsen.
With an expression that he must have a one-on-one fight.
Linarsen was expressionless, he had already notified the people of the Allen Duchy.
"Linarsen, what's the matter? Don't dare to fight one-on-one? How about this, you give me everything, and I won't beat you up," George said proudly.
Linarsen was speechless, to be honest, with this guy's IQ, the Lyon Duchy hadn't fought with the Jomony Duchy, it was all because of his own generosity.
"Alright, George," Allen arrived in time.
