From Baron to Lord

Allen searched, and damn, there really was one!

"Goodness, does the system have to be so helpful?"

Allen's lips twitched. He guessed that as long as he could think of it, it should be here, but the problem arose: what to do without corresponding technical talent?

However, Allen immediately thought of something else.

"Shouldn't there be buildings here that allow people to learn?" Allen began exploring with a bit of anticipation.

However, because there were too many buildings, Allen really felt it was troublesome, so he made a request to the system.

"System, can you organize these buildings and classify them? Buildings with extraordinary abilities in one category, industrial in one category, entertainment in one category, education in one category, and the rest you can handle. In short, can you classify them?" As soon as Allen finished speaking, the entire building interface was immediately refreshed.

As Allen requested, all the buildings were classified, and there was even a search function added.

Thoughtful!

Allen silently said to the system in his heart, while directly opening the education category. "Primary Metallurgical Plant Knowledge and Technology Training Base: 100,000 merit points to unlock."

…and so on.

Chapter 262 Unlocking Extraordinary Buildings, Is There an Intermediate Level After the Primary Level? (2)

"Primary Metallurgical Plant Knowledge and Technology Training Base: 100,000 merit points to unlock."

Without saying a word, Allen gritted his teeth and directly unlocked a Primary Metallurgical Knowledge and Technology Training Base first.

Unlocking this thing for 100,000 merit points was already a huge bloodletting for Allen. If this building was the same as Allen imagined, then Allen felt it was completely worth it. If it wasn't the same… then we'll talk about it later.

Soon, the originally gray Primary Metallurgical Knowledge and Technology Training Base seemed to have a soul, turning into a colorful pattern.

This meant that Allen had already unlocked this building.

"Primary Metallurgical Knowledge and Technology Training Base: Can train twenty technical talents who are familiar with the basic operation of primary metallurgical plants at one time, and slightly understand some metallurgical knowledge. This place is only responsible for training employees, not for training experts!"

"Each training session takes: one month!"

"Building price: 100,000 gold coins + building materials / unit."

After seeing this series of explanations, Allen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, the primary metallurgical plant can be regarded as the foundation of most buildings, especially buildings with a modern style, steel is probably a must.

Of course, other materials can also be used instead, but metallurgy is a very important industry in Allen's view.

But looking at the situation, Allen felt that the shape of this metallurgical plant was a bit different, as if the system had deliberately changed the style to integrate with this world.

Similarly, the primary metallurgical plant does not give off a sense of high-tech metal, on the contrary, it looks like a small earthen mound, completely inconspicuous.

Moreover, the technology seems to be very primitive, but no matter what, this thing is still good after all.

Before, Allen was still worried about what to do if there were only metallurgical plants but no workers, but now it seems that the labor force has also been resolved.

Now all that's left is to go back and develop it vigorously.

Allen was ambitious, but he quickly woke up. "Hiss, calculating like this… aren't these merit points too few?!"

Allen stared at the merit points in his system that should have been a huge sum, plus the three million merit points just rewarded, Allen's current merit points had reached the level of ten million.

Now, after careful calculation, he found that it was far from enough.

In this world of swords and magic, even if Allen wants to develop industries such as industry and agriculture, he cannot give up his emphasis on extraordinary power.

In this world where martial power is paramount, Allen's focus must still be on extraordinary power.

Those buildings related to extraordinary power that occupy the top and most conspicuous positions in the entire building interface are the real big deals.

And this is only in terms of buildings. Allen still has many things to buy in the merit store…

Thinking about what metallurgical plant, it has to be put behind.

"Hiss, this Primary Extraordinary Knowledge Library, 300,000 merit points… Involving extraordinary knowledge, it is an indispensable building for the duchy, it must be unlocked."

Allen's lips twitched slightly. If it was just this one building, of course he wouldn't be like this, but this was just the beginning.

"Primary Knight Training Ground… Unlock!"

"Primary Magician Training Ground… Unlock!"

"Primary Natural Spirit Room… Unlock!"

Allen silently calculated his merit points, and his heart was very painful.

He originally thought he could buy several dragons this time at least.

After all, dragons are the first standard for measuring the combat power of a country, especially countries at the level of kingdoms and empires, dragon knights are their greatest confidence.

Although Allen is only the lord of a duchy, this does not prevent him from cultivating dragon knights.

Just like Lekfu Kreel said, all dragons are provided by the Norton Kingdom, and the relationship between them and the dragon knights is only that of partners. After the dragon knight dies, if the dragon does not die, then they will wait for the next partner. Of course, this refers to the natural death of the dragon knight, not death in battle.

This is called a cooperative contract, signed by the dragon and the dragon knight. During the cooperation period, the dragon knight will live intimately with the dragon.

But the ownership of the dragon belongs to the kingdom.

Of course, whether the dragon can be tamed can only depend on the strength and charm of the dragon knight himself.

If it is a dragon knight who died in battle, then the dragon's pride will not allow them to escape, let alone surrender.

Just like the dragons of Grand Duke Blue Moon and Grand Duke Shack.

They will die in battle beside their partners.

And if the dragon knight dies of natural causes, then the dragon will return to the Dragon Ranch of the Norton Kingdom, waiting for the appearance of the next partner who can make it willing to follow.

For dragons, human life is extremely short…

Therefore, most dragons will encounter multiple companions throughout their lives.

Of course, it's not impossible for a dragon to encounter the Dragon Knight War immediately after its first companion appears, and then die.

But of course, this situation is relatively rare.

After all, Dragon Knights are precious, and most people will not kill them if they can avoid it.

Originally, Allen wanted to cultivate more Dragon Knights, just like the kingdom, where he would be the master of the dragons, and others would be the companions, or even better, he could control several dragons by himself.

But now, seeing the merit points decreasing like flowing water, Allen's entire heart is twitching.

However, there are many buildings that he has to unlock, as they are related to the future development of Allen Duchy, and Allen cannot be stingy.

"Phew, thankfully, there are still more than six million merit points left," Allen breathed a sigh of relief.

He unlocked quite a few buildings in one go, all of which he thought would be useful.

More than one million merit points were spent on extraordinary buildings, and only a few hundred thousand were spent on other aspects. "Hmm? After unlocking the primary buildings, there are intermediate buildings later on?"

Allen didn't pay attention when he unlocked a training base just now, but now he has to pay attention.

"Intermediate Library: 500,000 merit points to unlock."

Just looking at the first intermediate building related to extraordinary knowledge, the library, Allen gasped.

"Is this a mistake? This is…"

Allen widened his eyes and checked the merit points required for the intermediate buildings behind all the unlocked primary buildings. After careful calculation, it would actually cost nearly four million to unlock the intermediate buildings, which made Allen feel unhappy.

So, there are advanced buildings later on?

And then another huge consumption of merit points?

This made Allen speechless.

"…Well, after returning to the duchy, I will slowly build these buildings, and then I will choose to upgrade some of them," Allen decided. He will not unlock all the buildings to the intermediate level, as it is not cost-effective.

He still has to look at the actual effects before making a decision.

"Now, let's take a look at the merit shop and buy some necessary items," Allen smiled slightly and made a decision.

Chapter 263: Buying Acceleration Cards and Three New Species! (3 requests for subscription!)

"Knight Training Card, Warrior Training Card, Mage Training Card, these are all necessary things," Allen didn't waste any words and skillfully found his target.

As usual, buy advanced cards, which is very cost-effective.

An advanced warrior training card can train five thousand warriors, and it only costs 40,000 merit points, which is simply a bargain compared to those buildings.

Allen thought about it. The current Allen Duchy is the mess left over from the previous Shack Duchy, which means that the military strength is scarce. Allen directly bought a full fifty advanced warrior training cards in one go.

This is enough to train 250,000 warriors. Adding the 150,000 dragon blood warriors that Allen had trained before, if all these 250,000 warriors are trained into dragon blood warriors, then there will be a total of 400,000 dragon blood warriors as a guarantee, and Allen will not be afraid even when facing two million enemies.

Fifty advanced warrior training cards cost two million merit points.

This made Allen's heart ache so much that he couldn't breathe, but these are necessary expenses. A country with weak military power cannot survive. "Knight Training Card and Mage Training Card…"

The prices of these two cards are the same. Advanced cards are 400,000 each for 25 cards, which is ten times more expensive than warrior training cards.

But the price is justified. Warriors are the foundation of a country's military power, then knights and mages are the pillars on top of that foundation.

These are also indispensable forces.

An advanced card can train a thousand knights or a thousand mages. "Buy two advanced knight training cards and three advanced mage training cards," Allen made a decision in minutes.

In this way, he can have three thousand knights and more than three thousand mages.

For a duchy, there are not many knights, but the number of mages can definitely shock any duchy.

Just right, Allen can let these knights and mages try out the effects of the primary knight training ground and the primary mage training ground that he unlocked.

If it's good, Allen doesn't mind spending more merit points to upgrade it or something. "Six million merit points spent in one go."

Allen exhaled slightly, his heart aching so much that he couldn't breathe.

Without a doubt, the remaining merit points must be kept to unlock the necessary buildings or upgrade buildings at any time. This amount of merit points is about two million.

That is to say, Allen can spend up to two million merit points more.

Two million merit points.

A few months ago, Allen would have thought that this was simply an astronomical figure.

But today, a few months later, Allen feels that this is four dragon eggs!

Dragon eggs!

Damn it, I must have dragon eggs!

Allen roared in his heart, then glanced at the shop and saw that some new species had been added to the species that were refreshed in the store. "Earthworms, semi-elemental lifeforms, like to stay underground and can replenish soil fertility."

"Earthworms (Magical Creature / Semi-Elemental Lifeform): 5,000 merit points / each."

"Sea Elves: Semi-elemental lifeforms, with unpredictable forms, can easily gain the favor of marine creatures, and are good at controlling seawater and cultivating marine creatures."

"Sea Elves (Magical Creature / Semi-Elemental Lifeform): 8,000 merit points / each."
