From Baron to Lord

Chris had a curious inquiry.

“I don’t know. I heard this rumor before, but we didn’t pay much attention to it at the time. After all, most rumors in this world are false.”

Duke Will said calmly, his expression slightly complicated at the moment. At that time, Allen was just a small earl, and his every move could not be taken seriously.

Even if he heard that Skywolf City was the Holy City of Alchemists, he wouldn't believe it at all.

But now it's different. Now Allen's status, position, and size have far exceeded what they were before.

And the Alchemist Holy Land will naturally be taken seriously.

After all, a grand duke can't mess around without knowing the importance of things…

So when the news reached Norton's capital, the alchemists of the entire Kingdom of Norton were in an uproar.

As alchemists of the kingdom, they absolutely did not believe in any nonsense about an alchemist holy land.

If there was a holy land, it would definitely not be in a marginal, remote small country.

Instead, it should be in the empire or within the king's domain.

The arrogant alchemists immediately felt that the alchemists of Allen Duchy were bluffing.

This made them very unhappy. Among them, four well-known senior alchemists in the kingdom publicly stated that they would come to see the so-called holy land.

In fact, they were here to humiliate the alchemists of Allen Duchy.

As for Chris, she didn't come for a boring vanity. She came for the materials needed for her new alchemy recipe.

“However, if it's Duke Allen, I think the possibility is not low.”

Duke Will said calmly. To be honest, if Chris hadn't been here this time, he wouldn't have followed the caravan here.

His only task was to protect Chris's safety. She was a Holy Alchemist seed, which was of great significance to the Kingdom of Norton.

As for the other senior alchemists, their status and identity were not low, but they were not worthy of Will's protection.

“Oh? It seems that you have considerable confidence in Duke Allen.”

Chris chuckled. She didn't care whether the rumors of the Holy Land were true.

She was mostly just looking for a topic to chat about.

“Yes.”

Duke Will also smiled: “Speaking of which, Duke Allen is a handsome and dashing young man. Maybe Chris, you will like him?”

Chris was a little helpless when she heard this: “Duke Will, do you still need to worry about this kind of thing… You are a duke, my lord.”

“Hahaha! Who told little Chris that you are the daughter of the Tiemeng family.” Duke Will laughed twice.

The caravan continued to move south, and soon reached the vicinity of Allen Duchy's capital.

But when they arrived here, everyone was stunned, because their scouts reported that Allen Duchy had two capitals.

This left everyone dumbfounded.

Even Duke Will was a little confused.

Two capitals?

Chapter 312 Arrogant Senior Alchemists, Objects of Exploitation in Allen's Eyes (1)

When Allen received the notification, he was in the new capital, while Duke Will and the others were in the old capital at this moment.

The two capitals left Duke Will's caravan looking bewildered.

The reason why they finally decided on the old capital instead of the new capital.

It was because the new capital looked like it was still under construction. Although it could be seen that the new capital was magnificent and grand, it was still being built after all. Duke Will estimated that Allen should be in the old capital.

But he didn't expect that Allen wasn't in the old palace.

There were only some servants and housekeepers here.

When the aerial cavalry came from the old capital to the new capital and delivered the message.

Allen then withdrew from his cultivation state.

“Oh? Duke Will, Chris and some senior alchemists?”

Allen raised his eyebrows slightly. He thought of the problem Nick had mentioned to him before.

That is, some alchemists in the north felt very unhappy about the rumors of the Alchemist Holy Land in their duchy.

He thought it was just a few senior alchemists.

Although there were not many senior alchemists in the duchy, any senior alchemist was a top talent.

But in the kingdom, there were still quite a few senior alchemists.

Allen didn't expect that Chris, who was known as the number one alchemy genius in the Kingdom of Norton, would come along.

So the other party also felt that the name of his holy land was too arrogant?

Allen raised his eyebrows slightly. In his opinion, a genius who could concoct Chris's "Sweet Dreams" potion should not be as idle as those silly senior alchemists.

Allen was confident that he could keep the senior alchemists and make them work for him, but this Chris was a bit of a trouble.

This person was a genius that the Kingdom of Norton valued extremely, and was willing to confront the empire for this reason.

It was conceivable how important Chris was to the Kingdom of Norton.

Allen might have no problem intercepting a few senior alchemists, but if he kept this woman, the problem would be a bit big.

“I see, go down.”

Allen came out of the Knight Training Ground: “Someone, change my clothes.”

Allen was dressed casually at the moment. After all, he was at home, and there was no need to dress formally every day.

But now that there were guests, Allen naturally needed to dress a little more formally.

Immediately, a maid stepped forward to change Allen's clothes.

“Allen, what's wrong?”

Saint Cecilmina's voice rang out. She was wearing a long white and blue dress, and her voice was so gentle that it made people infatuated.

“Cecilmina, I have to go back to the old capital.” Allen said calmly.

“Do you need me to come with you?” Saint Cecilmina said with a smile.

“No need, they are not enemies, they are people who came to work for me.”

Allen smiled and called out to Saffi. Soon, the blue dragon appeared in the sky.

Allen jumped up and rushed straight into the sky from the ground, sitting on Saffi's back.

“Go to the old capital.”

After Allen finished speaking, Saffi rushed out immediately.

One person and one dragon quickly crossed a hundred miles and appeared in the sky above the old capital.

Duke Will was sitting in the palace. This was a hall specially used to entertain guests.

In addition to Duke Will, there was a twin-tailed blonde girl sitting next to Duke Will, and sitting below them were four middle-aged or even elderly alchemists.

These senior alchemists all looked arrogant. Standing next to them was Steward Edward. This old steward was entertaining the people from the north with maids.

However, although Steward Edward tried his best to serve these people, these alchemists were very arrogant.

They looked down on Allen Duchy's palace very much, and their words were full of sarcasm.

“Heh, is this where you entertain guests? It's simple enough. We are alchemists from the kingdom, senior alchemists!”

“Even if your Grand Duke is in front of us, he has to treat us with courtesy!”

“What is this food?! Is it for humans? Where is Duke Allen? I want to see him!”

“That's right, we are here to see the Grand Duke. What qualifications do you, an old thing, have to waste our time? Do you know how precious our time is?” The four senior alchemists spoke arrogantly, with a condescending attitude.

They were wantonly scolding here.

This made Duke Will and Chris frown slightly: “Okay, shut up.” Duke Will frowned slightly.

“Yes, Your Grace.”

As a duke, Will was still very majestic. After all, he was a confidant of the new king.

Chris curled her lips. In her opinion, these old things were just some people who had no ability and liked to cause trouble everywhere.

Steward Edward did not speak or refute the whole time, but listened with a smile and then retreated to the side.

“Hmph, since Lord Will has spoken, we won't make things difficult for these servants. I want to see Duke Allen. I want to see how powerful the so-called holy land is?”

A senior alchemist said disdainfully.

“Hey, old guy, find a beautiful maid to relieve boredom!”

“Hahaha.”

The alchemists said loudly, their eyes wantonly scanning back and forth on the surrounding beautiful maids.

The maids suddenly had some slight changes in their expressions, and even Steward Edward's expression became slightly ugly.

This time, before Duke Will could speak, a roar and the sound of a giant dragon suddenly sounded outside.

“Duke Allen is back.”

Will's eyes lit up immediately. To be honest, he was already very disgusted with these senior alchemists.

The sound of the dragon had just appeared a moment ago.

“You said you wanted to relieve boredom?”

The next moment, Allen's voice had already appeared in the hall.

The young Grand Duke in the white robe walked into the hall.

He glanced at the four senior alchemists sitting on the side, and a trace of a smile flashed in his eyes.

“Duke Allen.”

Will stood up immediately, and Chris next to him also stood up.

They bowed slightly to Allen. The status of the Dragon Knight was extremely high no matter where he was.

Even the senior alchemists who had just been extremely presumptuous immediately restrained their arrogant expressions when they saw Allen, and bowed to Allen with a very respectful look.

“Well, Will, long time no see.”

Allen said casually. He glanced at the twin-tailed blonde girl Chris and found that this girl was much more low-key than he had imagined. On the contrary, these alchemists were more pretentious than the others.

How dare they be presumptuous in his palace?

Allen smiled. He was worried that he had no coolies to work for him.

Because alchemists are very rare and precious talents.

Even Allen was reluctant to completely treat them as coolies.

After Nick and the others complained last time, Allen immediately reduced their workload by one-third.
