From Baron to Lord

Allen looked at the massive city in the distance, a trace of nostalgia and complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

“I didn’t expect that in less than two months, I, Allen, would be back.”

Allen smiled and led his men into Thistle Flower City, heading towards the Thistle Flower Fortress in the city center.

The huge city, the bustling commercial streets, and the dense population all filled Allen with emotion.

In the past, Allen had disdained the scale of this city, its commercial streets, and its population. After all, he was a transmigrator who had seen truly prosperous metropolises and looked down on such backward cities.

But since he took over Rose Town, he knew that Thistle Flower City was simply the most prosperous city in the entire earldom!

Allen's arrival was quickly known to the Earl, and Allen and his men soon and smoothly entered the magnificent Thistle Flower Fortress.

This fortress was five stories high, and it was surrounded by a dense cluster of two- and three-story small castles, standing in the city center like stars surrounding the moon.

Allen's expression was calm, but his heart was already going crazy with complaints.

His own little castle was simply too embarrassing to show off, but everything would get better. One day, my castle will be even more magnificent than Thistle Flower Fortress!

“Look who's here! My dear brother, why are you back? Are you in some kind of trouble?”

As soon as he entered Thistle Flower Fortress, Allen saw Aaron's figure.

At this moment, Aaron was asking with a curious look on his face.

When Allen saw him, a glint flashed in his eyes: “My dear brother, half of the reason I’m back this time is for you.”

Aaron was slightly taken aback: “What do you mean?”

Allen took out a pea from his pocket, which he had picked from the Magic Bean Field before he left.

“Look, what is this?”

Allen handed the pea over.

Aaron's body suddenly shook.

“Magic Bean?! Don't tell me you've discovered another Spirit of Nature?!”

A hint of disbelief flashed in Aaron's eyes.

“That's right, my dear brother. Your little brother doesn't know how, but inadvertently, I discovered another Spirit of Nature, the Pea Spirit of Nature. See if you want to continue trading? Oh, and the previous Magic Roses have also grown another batch…”

Allen said to Aaron with great interest.

At this moment, Aaron was completely stunned. There was only one thought in his mind.

The third Spirit of Nature, the third!

No matter how well-mannered he was, a strong sense of jealousy rose in the depths of his heart at this moment.

From childhood to adulthood, he had always been the focus of everyone's attention. Everyone would please him, and he always possessed the best things in the earldom.

Allen was just a good-for-nothing, only worthy of owning the things he didn't want after he had chosen them.

But now, this younger brother whom he looked down upon had actually discovered three Spirits of Nature in just a month or two!

Three Spirits of Nature!

Just the magic plants from one Spirit of Nature could bring Allen about 60,000 gold coins a year. How much profit could three bring?

Close to 200,000!

Thinking of this number, Aaron couldn't help but want to go crazy.

This was two or three times more than the total annual income of his territory, the most fertile and prosperous in the entire earldom!

The key was that his territory was not only more fertile than Allen's, but also three times the size of Allen's.

The more Aaron thought about it, the more he felt that Allen was incredibly lucky, and at the same time, a trace of greed rose in the depths of his heart.

He wanted to get Allen's fief!

Just as he was absentmindedly in a daze, Allen's voice rang out again: “Hey, are you going to buy it or not? If not, I'll find someone else.”

There was some impatience in Allen's voice.

Aaron frowned slightly. He examined the pea and nodded, “Is it what I need? Still the old price?”

“Yes!”

The two of them finalized a big deal in just a few words.

“Alright, I have another matter to attend to this time. I need to see Father.”

After finishing the business, Allen immediately inquired about the Earl's whereabouts.

“Father is in the study. You know, he likes to stay in the study. You'd better wait for him to come out. He doesn't like people disturbing his reading.”

Aaron shrugged.

Allen curled his lips. Wait? Wait my ass. I can't waste my time!

He didn't answer Aaron and directly led his men towards the depths of the castle.

When he reached the central five-story castle, Allen asked his men to wait at the door, while he went alone into the castle.

Familiar with the way, he walked to the door of the Earl's study.

He knocked on the door.

“Come in!”

A steady voice with a strong sense of majesty rang out.

Allen pushed the door open and entered.

“Father!”

In front of Allen was a middle-aged man with a large build, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. He had medium-length blond hair. At this moment, the Earl was staring at Allen, with some surprise and anger in his eyes.

“I should have told you not to disturb me when I'm reading.”

There was some anger in Earl Albert's tone.

Allen smiled, completely unconcerned about the Earl's anger.

He even walked directly to another chair in the study and sat down.

“You also said, except for special matters.”

Allen smiled and said.

“What is it?”

Albert frowned slightly. He felt that this son of his seemed to have changed, becoming a bit… confident.

“It's about the Blue Moon Principality.”

Allen told the story of Rex's attack on Rose Town.

“What? You resisted three hundred people?”

Albert was a little surprised after listening. He had already learned from Aaron that Allen had found two Spirits of Nature, and at the same time, Allen had begun to train his own warriors.

But he never expected that Allen could lead his men to resist three hundred enemies.

This was simply unbelievable. You must know that since it was a Blue Moon Principality nobleman leading people to attack, then those pirates must be warriors trained by those nobles.

Their strength should not be underestimated. Three hundred warriors were enough to put a small city in crisis!

Not to mention Rose Town, which was just a small town!

“Yes, Father.”

Allen said calmly: “Although the fiefdom Father gave me is barren, it doesn't mean that I don't have the strength to resist the enemy.”

“How many people do you have?”

Albert was a little shocked, and he stared at Allen's face as he asked.

“Seventy warriors, twenty of whom were given to me by you.”

Allen told the truth.

“Impossible! Seventy people against three hundred? How is that possible!”

Albert immediately retorted.

“Hehe, Father, why is it impossible?”

Allen asked back, and at the same time, a strong surge of battle qi erupted from his body: “What are mere three hundred people in front of me!”

“You! Level Six Knight?!”

Albert's eyes widened. This time, he could no longer remain calm and stood up directly from his seat.

Seeing the Earl so out of composure, Allen showed a smile: “That's right, I am already a Level Six Knight.”

Allen's voice was sonorous and forceful, neither humble nor arrogant.

Albert stared at Allen's face for a long time, and finally, he sat back in his chair with a somewhat complicated expression.

“So what do you want to do this time?”

Albert understood that his originally useless son had changed. As for why he had changed so much, Albert didn't know, and he didn't want to know.

For him, Allen's change was a good thing.

In the world of nobles, only those who are excellent enough and strong enough can continue to be glorious.

Allen's change was only beneficial and not harmful to him and to the entire Thistle Flower family.

Since Allen had reached the Level Six Knight, then he could no longer treat him as a waste.

There was a bit of meaningfulness in Albert's tone.

Allen knew that this was his strength and potential that had gained the Earl's approval.

As long as the Earl recognized him, then he should be able to get the strong support of the Thistle Flower family, which was a good thing for him, and also one of his purposes this time.

“First, I want to hand over a Baron of the Blue Moon Principality to you. I heard that you can ask the Blue Moon Principality for ransom? You know, my territory is too poor, alas, not as good as Aaron's territory…”

As Allen spoke, he sighed, showing a look of sadness.
