From Baron to Lord

“The promotion method of Behemoths…”

Allen picked up a book and began to browse through it.

While Allen was reading the book, a convoy departed from the Lionheart Kingdom's capital in the west, heading towards the Allen Duchy.

Time passed quickly; Allen spent every afternoon in the library. It was usually almost deserted because of Allen's credit system. Students had to study hard or even complete tasks to be allowed in.

And each time required a huge amount of credits.

Viewing ordinary knowledge books required the least amount of credits, but it was still difficult enough to make students feel overwhelmed.

Not to mention extraordinary knowledge.

So, currently, almost no students were able to enter the library.

Of course, this was also because the library had just been established, and the credit system had just been perfected.

In about a period of time, the students would have enough credits.

After all, the library was placed here to cultivate talents, not to reject them.

For almost a week, Allen was immersed in the library, entering during the day and leaving at night.

He could also pick up Annie from school on the way home.

Annie now had a good grasp of Common Tongue.

Every time she saw Allen picking her up, Annie seemed very excited, while her classmates showed envious and awed expressions.

Now, who didn't know that this little one, who even stuttered when speaking Common Tongue, was the Duke's precious darling?

ps: Chapter 3, asking for monthly tickets, asking for flowers, asking for evaluation tickets, asking for self-subscription! several.

Chapter 339 Oliver is ready, communication and negotiation (4)

Early in the morning, Allen was interacting with the nature spirits in the garden.

Butler Edward walked in hastily.

“Your Grace, Minister Oliver requests an audience.”

Hearing Oliver's name, Allen raised his eyebrows. He remembered that he had given the other party about half a month.

At that time, he thought he would need to spend some time looking for clues about the Forbidden Dragon.

He didn't expect that in just one day, he would accomplish what he had been dreaming of all along.

Gained the purchase conditions for the Forbidden Dragon.

Originally, he planned to buy it, but the current Allen Duchy was just starting out, plus Tasmiz and Phil were still growing in the dragon's nest.

Allen wasn't in a hurry.

This also meant that Allen would have to wait another half a month before he could start developing industry.

But Oliver's actions were much faster than expected.

“Call him in.”

“877” Allen said with a smile.

Butler Edward immediately retreated, and soon, the slightly obese, bald Oliver appeared before Allen.

“Your Grace, Minister Oliver has completed the task you gave me.”

Oliver knelt on the ground and said piously.

“Completed the task ahead of schedule? Oliver, you really didn't disappoint me.”

Allen nodded with satisfaction: “Have the locations been selected?”

“They have been selected. In addition, about nine hundred people have been recruited, all of whom were recruited near the selected locations.”

Oliver said quickly.

“If more manpower is needed later, we can only recruit from the entire duchy.”

Allen nodded, he was already very satisfied with this result.

“There's no need to consider this issue too much, the manpower issue can be taken care of slowly.”

Allen smiled, the rose fairy Amy standing on his shoulder.

Allen was feeding his nature spirits.

“Since you have completed it ahead of schedule, let's start the plan ahead of schedule.”

Allen smiled: “Let's go, Oliver, let me see how good your judgment is.” Oliver immediately showed a smile: “Yes…”

But before he could finish speaking, Butler Edward, who had just left the garden, walked in again. “Your Grace!”

“Prince Leineson and Princess Leixue of the Lionheart Kingdom request an audience.” Allen raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

Leineson and Leixue?

It had been a long time since he had heard the names of these two people. “It seems we have to wait a bit.” Allen smiled at Oliver.

Oliver smiled, he didn't have any dissatisfaction.

After all, the visitors were the prince and princess of a nearby duchy. “Edward, where are they now?” Allen walked out of the garden.

“They are in the highest-level reception hall.” Edward said in a low voice.

Allen nodded, and soon he passed through castles, gardens, and ponds, and saw Leineson and his sister in a magnificent hall. “Yo, Leineson, Leixue, long time no see.”

Allen showed a smile, he greeted Leineson and Leixue with a smile.

The two also showed smiles, but they didn't open their mouths as casually as Allen.

Instead, they bowed respectfully to Allen. “Your Grace, Duke Allen, long time no see.”

Allen shook his head upon hearing this: “No need to be so polite. When I was a baron, you treated me as a friend. There's no need to be so restrained at this time. We are still friends.” Allen's amiable attitude made Leineson and his sister smile.

“It's not the same anymore.”

Leineson shook his head: “Dragon Knights are different from ordinary knights.” Allen smiled and didn't say anything more. “Why are you free to come to the Allen Duchy today?”

Allen asked casually, he asked the maids to prepare delicacies and wine, ready to have a good drink with the two siblings.

“This time we are here mainly to discuss the issue of the Strane Foss Mountains with you, and also about the final gift of the magic potion…”

Leineson said with a solemn and serious expression.

“Oh? The Strane Foss Mountains and the final gift?”

Allen stroked his chin: “I see, please sit down first.”

He waved his hand and said to Leineson and Leixue.

These two hadn't sat down since they saw him.

It seemed that they were very concerned about his identity as a Dragon Knight.

“Alright.”

Leineson and Leixue then sat down.

Soon the maids brought up the Allen Duchy's special delicacies and wine.

“Let's eat and chat.”

Allen said with a smile.

“As you wish.”

Leineson also showed a smile. … … …

Watching the two joking and laughing, Leixue sat on the side, and her eyes couldn't help but look at Allen.

Now, she could be said to have accepted the fact that Allen had become the Duke of the Duchy.

This time, the original plan was for only Leineson to come to the Allen Duchy and communicate with Allen.

Leixue was later allowed to come here to see Allen after she begged and pleaded.

The girl's thoughts were obvious, just to see her sweetheart.

It could be said that the people of the entire duchy knew her thoughts.

Who didn't know that this little princess had knelt piously in the Temple of the God of War for a while for Allen?

This matter had spread throughout the Lionheart Kingdom, and it could be said that Leixue's thoughts were known to the whole country.

But no one felt that there was anything wrong with this, after all, although Allen had become the monarch of another country, he was still the well-deserved hero in the Lionheart Kingdom.

“I heard you say just now that one of the purposes of your visit here is the Strane Foss Mountains?”

Allen said to get down to business after exchanging pleasantries with Leineson.

“Yes.”

Leineson's expression became slightly serious.

“You should know the relationship between the Strane Foss Mountains and the Lionheart Kingdom, and also your current Allen Duchy.”

“Originally, it was a natural barrier, but because of you, this huge mountain range can no longer be a barrier. On the contrary, it has become a major concern for my father.”

Leineson told the truth.

Allen stroked his chin upon hearing this, he completely understood the Lionheart Duke's feelings.

1.7 After all, there were several Behemoth beasts in that mountain range, leading a group of crazy magical beasts. Without a Dragon Knight sitting in town, it would be easy to destroy the Lionheart Kingdom.

In fact, Allen had been waiting for the Lionheart Duke to negotiate with him before.

However, because the Lionheart Duke had not come all this time, and because there were too many messes in the Allen Duchy recently, Allen forgot about it directly after he got busy.

It was not until now that he began to think about this issue again.

Obviously, if the Strane Foss Mountains were to stay here all the time, or rather, if the Behemoth beasts were to stay in the Strane Foss Mountains, the Lionheart Duke would probably not be able to accept it.

But the Strane Foss Mountains were Allen's territory, and Allen could not easily give up.

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

“So, what do you want me to do?”

Allen said with a smile.
