From Baron to Lord

Five hundred bottles of magic potion for a useless thing? If I sold these, I could get so many gold coins!

Alan felt a pang of heartache. He couldn't refuse the trade without arousing suspicion, and his face darkened.

Although Harry didn't know the reason, he tactfully excused himself and went with the Minister of Finance to learn about the construction of the ironclad vehicles.

Now that Alan had obtained the Dragon Blood Potion, he didn't hesitate any longer and headed straight for the Dragon Nest. Roar— Roar— As soon as they saw Alan, the dragons frolicking in the Dragon Nest lit up with excitement and rushed over.

As always, the Mind Dragon was the first to arrive, nuzzling Alan with its head.

“Luca, you mustn't bully them.” Alan stroked Luca's head, looking at the dragons sprawled haphazardly, feeling both amused and exasperated.

With the help of the Dragon Nest, Luca's size was now almost that of an adult dragon.

However, its strength naturally couldn't compare to the Mind Dragon Alan had seen before, as Luca was still too young.

The Mind Dragon's power far surpassed that of ordinary dragons, and mastering such power naturally required a great deal of time.

Alan took out the Dragon Blood Potion he had traded with Harry, looked at the dark red liquid in the bottle, and muttered to himself, “I need to find a dragon to test it on.” He had investigated this potion many times before, but he wasn't a specialized potion master, and could only sense a powerful force within it.

As for its effects, he didn't know, but he figured Harry wouldn't dare to deceive him.

Alan's eyes immediately fell on Phil, but after thinking about it, he decided it was better not to take the risk.

“Yuke, come here.” Alan saw the Thunder Dragon on the side and called out with a smile.

Hearing Alan's call, Yuke hurriedly ran over, a smile on its purple face.

“Good boy, drink this.” Alan opened the Dragon Blood Potion, made it open its mouth, and poured it all in.

Yuke naturally trusted Alan and swallowed it without hesitation.

Alan took a few steps back, wanting to see what would happen.

Soon, Yuke began to grow restless. As time passed, Yuke became increasingly violent.

“Roar! Roar!” Finally, Yuke couldn't help but roar, with a large amount of lightning coiling around its body.

The other dragons were puzzled by Yuke's appearance and retreated, as if they didn't recognize their companion.

“Damn it, could this Dragon Blood Potion be a failed product? I forgot to ask Harry.”

Alan watched anxiously. These dragons were hard-won treasures he had cultivated with great difficulty. If something happened to any of them, he would be heartbroken.

The lightning on Yuke's body grew stronger and stronger. Just when Alan couldn't bear it any longer, Yuke's body suddenly changed.

With a long dragon roar, Yuke suddenly stood up, its size suddenly increasing by thirty percent. Its scales became denser, and the entire dragon looked ferocious.

Yuke was very excited, and Alan also went over to take a closer look.

“Not bad, not bad. It seems it has a significant effect.”

The other dragons watched Yuke's sudden transformation, knowing it was related to the Dragon Blood Potion Alan had taken out earlier, and they all looked at Alan.

“Alright, I don't have any more of that stuff. I'll take some of your blood for research, don't resist.” Alan was about to make a move.

Hearing his words, Luca and the other dragons that had gathered around were all shocked. They looked at Alan and slowly retreated with some fear.

“Be good.” Alan didn't expect them to be so resistant to blood extraction.

“Don't you want to grow up like Yuke?” Alan could only tempt them.

Sure enough, hearing this, the dragons looked at each other, filled with hesitation.

“Good boy, Phil, don't move.” Alan seized the opportunity and came to Phil's side.

Alan placed his hand on Phil's body, feeling the cold and smooth scales, and secretly activated his magic.

Slowly, a stream of fiery red blood emerged from under Phil's scales, floating in front of Alan, forming a pool of blood the size of a washbasin.

Then, Alan followed suit, successively taking the blood of the remaining eight dragons…

Looking at the nine groups of blood in different colors in the sky, Alan was very satisfied.

One of the milky white blood groups emitted an astonishing wave, pushing the others aside. This was naturally the blood of the Mind Dragon, Luca.

Alan looked at the blood, and then carefully summoned many ancient magical beasts that he had unlocked from the system before.

Alan was not so gentle with these magical beasts. He grabbed them one by one and drew their blood one by one.

After drawing enough blood, he threw the terrified creatures aside.

Big-eared rabbits, wind antelopes, wildebeests…

As the magical beasts were released one by one, the blood groups floating in the air became more and more numerous.

After all the ancient magical beasts had their blood drawn, Alan realized that he had almost forgotten the Behemoth.

This was the King of Land Warfare. Although it wasn't a Golden Behemoth or a Silver Behemoth, the effect would definitely not be too bad.

Alan immediately took Phil outside and rushed towards the Stranfos Forest.

Phil's speed was very fast. In less than a quarter of an hour, Alan had already reached his destination.

Looking at the vast dense forest in front of him, Alan secretly called out to the Behemoth.

With a rustling sound in the forest, several huge creatures walked out, precisely the Behemoths.

Alan was eager to refine the potion and didn't care about anything else. He grabbed the Behemoth and began drawing blood.

Inside the Dragon Nest, Allen looked at the hundreds of balls of blood in the sky, took a deep breath, and began to refine the potion.

The biggest problem with the Bright Empire's formula was the difficulty in gathering so much blood; the refining method itself wasn't difficult.

This was also why the Bright Empire exchanged it with Allen so readily; they must have thought Allen wouldn't be able to gather the ingredients and that they had gotten a great bargain.

This was also the reason their support was so generous, as they didn't want to offend Allen too much.

But now, let's see who's the fool, Allen thought with a smile.

As time passed, the blood in the sky gradually decreased, slowly merging into a single mass.

With a burst of golden light, Allen was overjoyed. "It's actually a high-level potion?"

Chapter 395: Dragon Advancement, Three Dragon Knights

"It's actually a high-level Dragon Blood Potion." Looking at the golden potion before him, Allen said in surprise.

Harry had already explained in the recipe he gave Allen that the Dragon Blood Potion was divided into three grades.

The lowest grade was the one Harry exchanged with Allen before, which only used the most basic materials and was dark red. Its effect wasn't very good, at most only increasing a dragon's strength by thirty percent.

A more advanced black potion required the blood of many dragons and Jewel Dragons, and also had to be mixed with many ancient magical beasts.

Even the Bright Empire probably wouldn't have much of that in stock. The black potion could increase a dragon's strength by sixty percent.

As for the highest-level golden potion, even the Bright Empire hadn't succeeded in making it. It was said that the materials required were too scarce and could enhance a dragon's strength tenfold.

Allen hadn't expected that this potion would give him such a big surprise.

Allen guessed that it wasn't just because he had a large number of ancient magical beasts; the Mind Dragon Luca and the Behemoth Beast must have contributed a lot as well.

Seeing this, the dragons curiously gathered around, sensing the aura of the Dragon Blood Potion and becoming excited. It seemed that it was indeed a great temptation for them.

"Alright, don't rush, there's enough for everyone," Allen said gently to the dragons.

Allen divided the Dragon Blood Potion in the sky into nine portions, which appeared in front of the dragons, including the Thunder Dragon Yuke, who had already evolved once before.

Without hesitation, the dragons swallowed it in one gulp.

Then, as before, the Dragon Nest was immediately filled with the roars of the dragons, and various elements continuously erupted from their bodies.

Wind, lightning, iron, light, darkness, Allen couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Among them, the power of the Mind Dragon Luca was the most powerful. An extremely powerful mental force quickly spread out, making the other dragons unable to bear it. Allen could only quickly move Luca to the side.

After a while, the dragons broke through one after another, including the Thunder Dragon Yuke, who had already drunk the Dragon Blood Potion once before. Allen guessed that it was probably because it hadn't fully evolved the first time.

The sizes of several dragons had doubled, making them look even more intimidating.

They also seemed very happy, spreading their wings and flying high, constantly chasing each other in the sky.

Seeing them, Allen also thought of something, and without disturbing them, he quietly retreated.

Refining the Dragon Blood Potion and waiting for the dragons to successfully break through had already taken a day.

At this time, it was already starry outside, and Harry had already left. Allen thought for a moment and asked Jackson to come.

"Greetings, Duke."

"Well, Jackson, how are the knights I asked you to train last time?" Allen said somewhat excitedly.

"Reporting to the Duke, the previous six Gold Knights have completed their training and are ready to serve the Duke at any time," Jackson said respectfully.

"Well, select three of them to come over first, I have a use for them. Remember, loyalty comes first." Allen didn't say it explicitly, but Jackson could guess a little and didn't say much.

After a while, Jackson brought over three somewhat nervous people, one of whom looked very young, while the other two were middle-aged.

Seeing Allen sitting high on the throne, the three of them immediately said excitedly, "Honasan, Lutchinger, and Emil greet Duke Allen."

"Well, rise," Allen said, very satisfied with their respectful appearance.

"Thank you, Duke."

"Honasan, Lutchinger, and Emil, you have been knights I have trained for a long time. Now is the time to use the troops that have been raised for a thousand days."

The three of them exchanged glances and said with firm expressions, "We are willing to die for the Duke."

The three of them were just ordinary soldiers at first. It was with the help of Duke Allen that they were able to achieve their current achievements.

Moreover, Duke Allen has the blessings of the gods, so naturally, they would not have any ulterior motives.

"Very good, but I don't need you to die for me. On the contrary, there will be a good thing waiting for you."

As Allen spoke, he reminded them, "Next, I will take you to another place; do not struggle."

As Allen spoke, he took them to the Dragon Nest, naturally with a thick fog surrounding them, preventing them from seeing the surrounding situation clearly.

With Allen's words, they didn't make any big movements, but suddenly encountering this kind of situation, they still looked around vigilantly.

"My children," Allen said, seeing the dragons still playing in the sky and summoning them all down.

"Alright, take a look at these three people; who is willing to follow them?"

The result was beyond Allen's expectations; none of the remaining four dragons agreed.
