#35 - Section 35

Out of a hundred novice potion masters, there might not even be one who can truly grow into an intermediate potion master.

One can imagine the preciousness of an intermediate potion master.

"Yes, sir, I'm about to advance soon,"

Nick revealed a hint of a smile.

Chapter 58: Taking in Nick, Allen's Mentality (1 Seeking flowers, seeking evaluation votes, seeking monthly tickets!)

Allen was a little surprised; an about-to-be-promoted novice potion master was a high-end talent that all nobles would absolutely not refuse.

It was unimaginable that such a potion master with a bright future would actually come to his small town to seek refuge with him.

Allen would never believe it if there were no hidden reasons.

"With your worth, there's absolutely no need for you to come to my small town, right?"

Allen said calmly.

"Offended someone?"

Besides offending someone, Allen really couldn't think of any other reason.

Nick was silent for a while, then smiled bitterly: "Yes, sir, I'm being hunted by the palace knights because I offended the second son of Duke Ryan."

Nick didn't know what was wrong, but he suddenly told the truth; he always felt that the young man in front of him was different from other nobles.

It was as if there was a kind of magic that made him unable to lie in front of Allen.

Allen was stunned when he heard this, and he sized Nick up.

"You have quite some guts, daring to offend the Duke's son?"

Allen was shocked; he couldn't imagine that a potion master like Nick would have such courage.

But at the same time, Allen also understood Nick's identity; possessing superb skills, and also having great potential to advance to become an intermediate potion master.

And also able to have contact with the Duke's son.

Allen could guess Nick's identity with his toes; this was a royal potion master, right?

"I didn't want to either, but that beast was too much!"

Nick said, a trace of grief flashing in his eyes.

"He tried to defile the woman I love, so I injured him and escaped."

Nick showed a bitter smile.

Strangely enough, Nick was originally preparing to flee to the ends of the earth, but for some reason, when he passed by the Thistle Flower Territory, he had the idea of staying.

At that time, the Rose Town's liquor, perfume, and malt sugar opened up the market, causing a shock throughout the Thistle Flower Territory.

Nick instantly decided to come here and take a look.

After arriving in Rose Town, he didn't know why, but he decided to stay.

"I see."

Allen seemed to have heard that one of the Duke's sons was indeed not a good person.

"Alright, I understand. From today onwards, you'll work for me. Since you're about to advance to become an intermediate potion master, then I won't mistreat you."

"You can freely allocate one-fifth of the total number of magic plants in my territory. This is equivalent to my investment in your advancement to become an intermediate potion master. You can use them to accumulate experience and strive to become an intermediate potion master as soon as possible."

Allen patted Nick on the shoulder, then took the potion master to visit his magic plant field.

"Heavens, there are actually eight kinds of magic plants! Sir, do you have eight nature spirits?!"

Nick was shocked; he had heard that even Earl Albert only had six nature spirits.

Allen, a mere baron, actually had more nature spirits than an earl!

Unbelievable!

"That's right, so I said I've already given you quite a few magic plants; I think it should be enough for you to use."

Allen said calmly.

Nick's eyes were practically filled with tears. As a town baron, Allen was actually willing to take out magic plants for him to practice with, to cultivate him into an intermediate potion master!

This moved Nick's heart: "Sir, it's enough!"

After receiving Nick's affirmative answer, Allen didn't waste too much time and directly asked the servants to take him down to rest.

Allen himself returned to the study.

He had thought about Nick's problem; this person had no problems with his character, and he was capable. Plus, he was a person given by the system, so he couldn't refuse him.

As for the trouble he caused, Allen felt that they wouldn't be able to find him here for a while, after all, his place was just a small country town.

Of course, even if someone really did find their way here, it wouldn't matter; he could just kill them.

Allen had a thousand ways to make those who dared to chase after him into his territory disappear from the face of the earth, unless the ones chasing Nick were golden knights, which was obviously impossible.

Although taking in Nick also caused Allen some trouble, this kind of trouble was not in vain.

At least Allen felt that it was not a loss to be able to obtain an intermediate potion master.

Moreover, as long as he had a potion master to concoct potions, then the knights he cultivated would also have the opportunity to become stronger in the future.

This was also extremely important to Allen; after all, others could not improve their strength as quickly as he could, and a potion master was a talent that he absolutely needed.

As for the problem of that Duke Ryan's second son, Allen didn't take it to heart.

That guy was a typical playboy, and such a person could not earn Allen's respect.

Even if he was the Duke's son, the prince of this duchy, in Allen's eyes, he was just a waste.

Allen had some respect for Duke Ryan in his heart; after all, the Duke was a dragon knight and, in a sense, Allen's senior.

But that was only as a senior; Allen, who possessed the system, now possessed too many things, even dragons, and his mentality had long changed.

Allen could even say with certainty that one day he would also be able to become a dragon knight, and he could also establish a kingdom.

In that case, from a certain point of view, his relationship with Duke Ryan was no longer superior-subordinate, but equal.

It was just that no one knew this.

Now, Allen only had respect for Duke Ryan as a strong person and a senior; other than that, there was not much awe from a subject towards a monarch.

He treated the Duke like this, let alone a prince?

Chapter 59: The Angry Earl Bear (2 Seeking flowers, seeking evaluation votes, seeking monthly tickets)

After thinking about Nick's problem, Allen focused his energy on the system.

His previous troop training mission had already been completed, and it could be said that it was overfulfilled.

It was estimated that the story of his group robbing nobles had already spread in the Blue Moon Duchy.

After completing the mission, Allen received 3,000 experience points, and now his experience bar was 44700 / 50000.

There were still more than 5,000 experience points to go before leveling up.

The mission after the system refresh was: "Expand the Sea Cavalry!"

Allen had already had this idea, and he had even purchased thirty sea lion beasts and released them into the sea, just waiting for Marco to select suitable personnel to complete it.

The mission reward was 3,000 experience points, the same as the previous troop training mission.

"With one or two more missions, I can reach level seven. At that time, as a golden knight, I will have more powerful combat power on the battlefield."

Allen squinted his eyes and pondered.

Time quickly came to night again, and Allen directly came to the beach with his knight's sword.

The sea cavalrymen showed a bright smile when they saw Allen's arrival.

"Sir, are we going for another stroll tonight?"

Allen nodded when he heard this: "Nonsense, what else would I be doing here? Set off quickly. This time, focus the targets on ships. Our Rose Town also needs to have ships."

Allen's words immediately gave the sea cavalrymen direction: "Okay, sir, don't worry, today we'll specialize in robbing ships!"

With the experience from before, the group easily arrived around the Blue Moon Duchy.

Allen and the others became even more cautious this time.

"It seems that it should be because we were too arrogant yesterday, continuously robbing several viscounts and also hijacking Earl Bear's ship, so now there are many naval armies of the Blue Moon Duchy patrolling the sea. There weren't any yesterday."

Allen sighed; the Blue Moon Duchy's reaction speed was really fast.

"Sir, we can't get close now. What should we do?"

A sea cavalryman said with some sighing.

"Hehe, if we can't get close, then let them get close to us."

Allen said calmly: "Use the sea lion beast's ability to control the surrounding seawater flow and pull those ships directly over."

At this moment, the role of the magical beast was fully reflected.

As an ancient magical species, the sea lion beast had extremely strong control over the sea. They were proficient in water magic, and almost instantly, they had already controlled a three-masted sailing ship not far away.

"Swish!"

Almost instantly, the ship was instantly wrapped in seawater and disappeared from its original location.

"? ? ?"

This scene shocked many people on the patrolling ships at sea.

They had heard that pirates seemed to be出没 on the sea, and they had also robbed several nobles before, which was utterly insane.

And it was said that Earl Bear's tribute ship to the Duke had mysteriously disappeared, and it happened to be on the day when the pirates were active.

That was why there were so many patrol ships on the sea today.

Originally, they all thought that the pirates had come by ship.

Who would have thought that they didn't see the pirate ship, but their own ship instantly disappeared.

From afar, everyone could see that a small bulge seemed to be bulging on the sea, rushing away quickly.

"Hmph! Want to leave! Not so easy!"
