From Baron to Lord

Allen nodded: "Of course, you can not only touch it, but you also have to integrate it with gold to forge my knight armor. Copperbeard, this material is enough for your requirements, right?" Allen's words made Copperbeard nod vigorously: "Enough, enough! More than enough, my lord! You are truly an incredible lord."

As he spoke, Copperbeard, as if possessed, gently stroked the dragon-type metal ore with both hands.

"Ah~"

Copperbeard let out a comfortable cry, his voice filled with satisfaction and joy.

Allen's mouth twitched slightly. Copperbeard's reaction gave him goosebumps.

"Hey! Copperbeard, aren't you about done? It's my turn!"

Behind Copperbeard, the red-haired dwarf was rubbing his hands, his face full of excitement and anticipation.

This scene... if they weren't facing a metal ore but a stunning beauty, Allen could probably understand it.

"Get lost! Redsteel! This is what the lord gave me! I will use this ore to complete a top-notch knight armor! I won't allow your dirty hands to touch it!"

Copperbeard immediately turned his head, his expression instantly changing from that of an infatuated man to one of stinginess and meanness.

"I spit on you! When did the lord say he was giving it to you! Can you, alone, forge the knight armor that the lord wants? Copperbeard, you pig!"

Redsteel said, stepping forward and pulling Copperbeard away, then embracing the dragon-type metal ore with the tenderness of holding a wife.

"No! Redsteel, you filthy fellow!"

Copperbeard's wails were useless as Redsteel was already sprawled all over the metal ore.

"Ah~"

Redsteel also let out an indescribable sound.

Behind them, the other dwarves also looked on with longing and yearning.

Allen touched his nose: "You two are going too far. It's not just for you two. Also, anyone else who wants to touch it, go ahead, I don't mind."

"No! My lord!"

Copperbeard wailed again, and then he was submerged by the dwarves who pounced on him.

Soon, after all the dwarves had touched the metal ore, Allen finally spoke: "Alright, you've all touched it, now start working."

With that, he took out some more pouches, all filled with high-grade materials he had prepared.

"Don't worry, my lord, within three months, both of your knight armors will definitely be completed!"

Copperbeard said, patting his chest.

Allen nodded and left with satisfaction.

Marco followed behind Allen, and the two casually strolled along the streets of Skywolf City.

"Marco, want to get some ice cream?"

Allen pointed to a nearby gourmet shop.

"As you wish."

Marco said respectfully.

The two bought two ice creams. Originally, Marco didn't want one, because as a follower, a knight, he had already prepared to do everything a knight should do while the lord was eating, remaining vigilant of his surroundings.

However, Allen insisted on buying him one and ordered him to eat together, so Marco could only comply.

Allen ate his ice cream while watching the bustling streets, his mind occupied with unknown thoughts. Marco didn't dare to speak and interrupt Allen's contemplation, so he could only eat his ice cream while watching the surroundings and being alert to pedestrians.

Just then, a violent explosion suddenly erupted from a tavern not far away, and the entire tavern instantly began to emit black smoke.

The sudden explosion immediately attracted the attention of Allen and Marco.

"Ah!!"

...Seeking flowers...

The tavern had already begun to emit flames. Because it was daytime, there weren't many people in the tavern. After the explosion, several embarrassed customers and waitresses ran out.

The surrounding pedestrians immediately screamed.

Everyone instantly began to move away from the scene.

"Cough cough cough!"

Amidst everyone's horrified gazes, a coughing sound rang out from the tavern emitting black smoke. A young man wearing tattered clothes was seen carrying a comatose middle-aged man out.

"Boss!"

Several waiters immediately screamed loudly.

"Oh my god, what happened!" The people around all took a step back.

"He, it's him, he's the one who caused the explosion just now!" Several waitresses pointed at the young man's face and said.

"I say, ladies, this is all a misunderstanding..."

...0 The young man carefully placed the unconscious tavern owner on the ground and was about to step forward to explain.

Immediately, everyone took a step back, revealing a look of fear.

Clearly, the tavern explosion just now made everyone understand one thing: the young man in front of them, who looked a little embarrassed, was a dangerous person.

"Ah! Don't come over!"

Several waitresses immediately screamed.

At the same time, the patrolling soldiers nearby quickly ran over.

"What happened here?!"

"Damn it! There's a fire here! Everyone, go prepare to put out the fire! Is there anyone still inside?!"

The soldiers immediately noticed the tavern that had already begun to burn and immediately told the people around to prepare water to put out the fire.

"Mr. Villy! He! He started the fire! He almost killed us!"

A waitress clearly recognized the leading soldier and immediately said as if she had found her backbone, while pointing at the young man with a face full of dust.

"Hmm?! Is it you! Damn it, do you want to challenge the bottom line of Skywolf City?!" A hint of vigilance flashed in Villy's eyes, and at the same time, his right hand was already on the hilt of his sword.

"Wait! Mr. Villy!"

The young man's expression changed slightly, and he said with a twitch at the corner of his mouth.

"Misunderstanding, it really is a misunderstanding, I just wanted to show them my research results..." The young man said, slowly retreating.

"Kid, I advise you to surrender now. Causing trouble in Skywolf City? You've got some nerve!"

Vili approached step by step. The warriors behind him slowly prepared to surround the young man.

"I... I told you it's a misunderstanding! Why don't you believe me!"

The young man clearly saw Vili's intentions. He sighed, then immediately turned and ran!

"Don't run!"

Vili and the others roared and pounced forward. Having taken dragon-type potions, their strength and speed had greatly increased.

They were almost upon the young man in an instant.

"Are you kidding me?! Are you guys dogs? So fast!"

The young man's face turned green. This speed was unscientific!

He had never encountered such warriors in the South, only in some kingdoms in the North.

But those were elite warriors known as Dragon Blood Warriors!

When did an earl's city in a duchy have such warriors?!

"Hmph, you should just surrender! Kid!"

Vili reached out to grab the young man.

The young man instantly sped up, reaching into his somewhat worn backpack.

He pulled out a square box made of wood and bronze pieces.

"I'm counting on you!"

The young man threw the boxes out. Immediately, the boxes began to change. The head-sized boxes transformed into spiders, puppies, and birds upon landing.

Allen was stunned by this scene: "Holy crap, Transformers?!"

Marco was taken aback: "My lord, what did you say?"

Allen coughed lightly: "Ahem, it's nothing. I just found something interesting."

Interesting?

Marco was slightly dazed. He couldn't care less about whether it was interesting right now. He stepped in front of Allen.

Because the dangerous person who had blown up the tavern was rushing toward Allen.

Marco would absolutely not allow this!

"Stop!"

Vili was chasing the young man but was suddenly blocked by a half-man-tall, strange spider. "What is this monster? Damn it, that guy really has problems?"

Vili drew his sword and struck the spider. He originally thought this thing could be easily dealt with, but he felt as if he had struck stone.

The spider was sent flying by the force and rolled several times on the ground.

The other puppies and birds were the same.

"Are you kidding me? So strong!" The young man ran even faster.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

The young man pushed aside a few pedestrians and was about to push Marco away when he suddenly felt the world spinning.

"Bang!"

Marco casually threw the guy to the ground. "Hmph, damn guy, daring to disturb Skywolf City!" A hint of killing intent flashed in Marco's eyes.

"Big brother, wait, I really didn't do it on purpose. I'm an alchemist. I really, really didn't mean to. How about you move your sword a little? My skin is very delicate," the young, soot-covered alchemist said, pointing to the sharp longsword near his neck.

Marco didn't speak; he just stared at the alchemist. "You're an alchemist?"

Allen picked up the three small things that were constantly struggling in his hands with interest.

He threw the spider, puppy, and bird-like things at the young alchemist. "Yes, I'm an alchemist. And you are?"

The young alchemist immediately recognized the other party's luxurious clothes, certainly a noble lord. But he had just arrived and didn't know which noble lord he had encountered. "My lord!"

Vili and his group walked over and immediately knelt before Allen. Allen smiled and waved his hand: "Go deal with the tavern problem over there and send the injured to the infirmary. This is the money for treatment, and some is compensation for the owner."

Allen waved his hand and threw out a small pouch containing fifty gold coins.

Vili respectfully accepted it and left with his men.

Fifty gold coins were enough to compensate the unfortunate owner.

After dealing with the matter, Allen turned to look at Marco: "Marco, take this guy back to the castle."

"Yes, my lord."

Marco said respectfully, then grabbed the young alchemist and separated his backpack from him.

He had just seen the alchemist take three small squares out of his backpack, which then transformed into three heavy things.

He didn't know why these wood and metal spiders, puppies, and birds could move and seemed to have life. This made Marco feel magical and wary…
