From Baron to Lord

“Let’s put the mission aside for now; there’s still a month left, no rush.”

Alan first focused his attention on his level.

“Level up!”

Ten thousand experience points vanished instantly, and the experience bar rapidly changed to 1700 / 50000.

The next level-up would require fifty thousand experience points.

At the same time, a surge of powerful Battle Qi began to emerge within Alan’s body.

This Battle Qi circulated ceaselessly through Alan, instantly doubling his total amount of Battle Qi, and he vaguely felt as if his entire body, except for his head, was being understood by this powerful Battle Qi.

Each time the Battle Qi passed through his neck, it encountered immense resistance.

“Hah!”

Alan quickly awakened from the wonderful sensation of breaking through, a glimmer of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

He anticipated leveling up again, at which point he should become the second Golden Knight of the Thorns family.

He would also be the youngest Golden Knight in the entire kingdom!

“Reporting, Lord!”

Just as Alan was imagining the future, Marco and six warriors walked in.

The six warriors were carrying three large boxes.

“Marco, what’s the matter?”

Alan smiled slightly.

“Lord, the magical beasts in the sea brought these three boxes to the shore and handed them over to our warriors.”

As Marco spoke, the six warriors behind him stepped forward and placed the three boxes in front of Alan.

The three boxes were huge, a full meter tall, and nearly a meter in length and width.

The entire box was locked with a large lock, and it was unknown what was inside.

Alan raised his eyebrows slightly: “I understand; let me see what’s inside.”

Alan drew Marco’s sword and swung it, directly severing the large lock on the box, which fell to the ground.

Alan stepped forward and opened the wooden box, and immediately, strands of golden light emerged.

Alan froze for a moment, then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

“Gold coins!”

He immediately realized that these were the thirty thousand gold coins rewarded by the system!

He had been wondering why he had seen the experience points but not the gold coins; now, the gold coins had arrived!

“Bang, bang!”

Alan opened the other two wooden boxes as well, and sure enough, they were all gold coins.

Even Marco was stunned by this scene.

What was going on!

Those magical beasts could actually give the Lord gold coins?!

The Lord’s luck was simply heaven-defying!

“Hahaha, it seems I’m quite lucky; with these gold coins, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.”

Alan said with a joyful expression.

“Marco, take a hundred gold coins here, thirty for you, and give the remaining seventy to the warriors below; this is my reward for them!”

Marco smiled at Alan’s words: “Thank you, Lord!”

At this moment, Marco’s respect for Alan grew even more; this young lord was becoming more and more experienced and mature in his actions.

Soon, Marco left with the gold coins, while Alan had people carry the gold coins to the study, and then, when no one was around, he put them into his inventory.

At this moment, the thing he wanted to do most was to upgrade the Dragon Nest, seeing that Saffy was almost unable to turn around in the Beginner Dragon Nest.

Ever since eating the Dragon Scale Fruit, this little thing’s body had been undergoing tremendous changes every day.

Now, it had grown another circle, and it already felt a bit restricted in the Beginner Dragon Nest.

Chapter 27 Upgrading the Dragon Nest, Interrogating Rex (3 Asking for flowers, asking for evaluation votes, asking for monthly tickets!)

“Ding, do you want to upgrade the Beginner Dragon Nest to an Intermediate Dragon Nest?”

“Yes!”

Alan answered affirmatively; soon, ten thousand of his gold coins instantly disappeared.

At the same time, a huge change suddenly began to occur in the Beginner Dragon Nest, with the original Crystal Valley as the center, the entire space instantly expanding more than tenfold.

At the same time, some other things appeared in the valley that originally only had crystals.

For example, a huge lake, with magic crystals inside, the entire lake filled with a faint magic power.

In addition, Alan discovered that some of the crystals on the mountain were different, interspersed with some smaller stones.

These stones contained a trace of power similar to the Dragon Scale Fruit.

Dragon Power!

Alan was shocked; damn, this was too luxurious; it was indeed a Dragon Nest built with ten thousand gold coins; in this environment, Saffy’s growth would only become faster and faster.

Alan looked at Saffy, who was already four or five meters long, his eyes filled with anticipation.

He really looked forward to the day when he could ride Saffy and become a true Dragon Knight.

After playing with Saffy for a while, Alan began his cultivation for the day; having broken through to Level Six, today he and Saffy had a little time to cultivate.

Three and a half hours later, Alan walked out of the study, feeling refreshed.

He felt himself getting stronger every day he cultivated with Saffy; this feeling was great.

It was said that Elon was still a Level Four Knight?

Alan smiled to himself.

He really looked forward to being able to fight him one day.

After thinking for a moment, Alan walked towards the basement, where more than twenty living pirates were being held.

“Damn it, you bunch of good-for-nothings, stop squeezing me!”

“Dick, how long has it been since you took a bath!”

“This place is too small.”

“Hey! Idiots, who farted!”

Walking to the outside of the basement, Alan heard the noisy voices of the pirates below.

“Lord!”

The several warriors responsible for guarding immediately saluted when they saw Alan.

Alan patted them on the shoulders: “You’ve worked hard.”

“Not hard at all; it’s our honor.”

The several warriors were flattered, their eyes showing a hint of fanaticism as they looked at Alan.

“Alright, open the door; let me see what these guys look like.”

Alan’s castle was just a country baron’s castle, very small and dilapidated.

And his basement was naturally not very large; being able to hold more than twenty people was probably using the space to the limit.

Alan could imagine the crowdedness in the basement at this moment.

The basement door was parallel to the ground; the warriors opened the door, and Alan immediately smelled a stench as he looked down.

“Oh, hell, what have these guys been doing in here!”

Alan pinched his nose and took two steps back.

At this moment, more than twenty strong men were crammed into a small basement; most of them were already somewhat listless, but there were always a few energetic guys who were still arguing.

“Hey, look at the way you guys look now; it’s really too embarrassing; I remember there was a guy named Rex; where is he?”

Alan looked around and didn’t find Rex, asking with some doubt.

“I… I’m here!”

Rex’s voice came from the corner; at this moment, this nobleman was being squeezed into the corner by his subordinates.

Having had his knight armor stripped off by Alan, Rex had also had most of his strength sealed by Marco using skills.

And having lost his knight armor and lost his powerful Battle Qi as a foundation, the slender Rex was completely crushed among the other burly men!

Rex simply couldn’t squeeze past these guys and could only be squeezed to the very edge, tightly pressed against the wall; it seemed that he could persevere for several hours in this situation, which could be considered to have great perseverance.

“Ah, you’re here.” Alan smiled.

He said to a warrior beside him: “Find a few people to pull up that guy in the corner who’s being squeezed out of shape; I have something to ask him.”

After speaking, Alan turned and left.

Soon, outside the castle, Alan sat at a table; this was a wooden table that the servants had carried out of the castle, covered with fruit, wine, and some grilled meat.

Not far from Alan, Rex, who was somewhat listless, was tied to a wooden stake.

At this moment, Rex looked at Alan eating grilled meat and drinking wine, his throat involuntarily moving.

He had been without food for a night, you know.

“I heard you say you’re a baron from the Blue Moon Principality? Why dress up as a pirate to attack our Rose Town? Don’t tell me it’s because you covet my Spirit of Nature; with your mere baron status and a Level Four Knight cultivation at such an old age, I think you should be a baron from a large family.”

“A large family can’t be without a Spirit of Nature; there’s no need to risk crossing the ocean to attack us.”

Alan said calmly.

Rex wanted to vomit blood after hearing this; damn, what did he mean by such an old age!

I’m only twenty-five, the prime of my youth!
