From Baron to Lord

A large portion of the residents of Skywolf City have already left. The city now has only a little over a hundred thousand people, and in a few more days, the relocation will be complete.

It's clearly impossible to keep waiting now. Although it wouldn't take too long, the sooner, the better.

The Radiant Empire didn't initially urge Allen to arrive quickly, but now that things have changed, he should go as soon as possible, as it's not a small matter.

It's best to arrive as quickly as possible to avoid any unforeseen events.

Allen summoned Sparrow and the others. They still had matters to handle, so they would depart last.

Allen cut to the chase and said to them, "The Radiant Empire has sent an envoy to summon me to the Imperial City."

Sparrow was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's great! It must be about enfeoffing you as a king."

Allen simply smiled without saying anything. They wouldn't be able to help much, and it would only increase their worries.

Moreover, Allen was confident that he could resolve this matter.

"Originally, I planned to move Skywolf City to the Norton Kingdom after the residents left, but now it seems I won't have time."

"Sparrow, after all the residents have left, have Cecilmina send you to the Norton Kingdom," Allen said.

"They shouldn't have arrived by then. I don't know how long I'll be gone, but it shouldn't be more than half a month."

"Go find Marco and tell him it's my order to prepare supplies and settle them in."

"Yes, Your Grace."

After Allen gave simple instructions, he found Harry.

"Mr. Harry, let's set off!"

Harry naturally had no objections. "Of course."

Having said that, to show respect, Harry waited for Allen to set off first.

To avoid attracting attention, Allen didn't summon Luca. Although no one here could recognize a Forbidden Dragon, that didn't mean the people of the Radiant Empire wouldn't.

As an empire, if they didn't even know this, they could be ashamed to death.

With a loud dragon roar, Saffi's massive figure appeared before the two.

Allen rode Saffi, taking the lead.

As a marquis, Harry naturally didn't have a dragon. He glanced enviously at Saffi beneath Allen and summoned a huge flying bird.

It was Allen's first time seeing such a strange magical beast, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances. The bird looked completely white, with a slender body, and was very beautiful.

Harry noticed Allen's gaze and said with a smile, "I apologize for the display, Your Grace. My flying creature is still far from a dragon."

"No, no, no," Allen said. "Marquis Harry's flying mount is very interesting. What kind of creature is it?"

Harry smiled, looking somewhat pleased, and said, "This is a Nymph Bird. It was an ancient magical beast that I obtained with great difficulty. Although its combat power isn't very strong, far inferior to a dragon, its flying speed is even faster than a dragon's."

Allen looked at Harry, somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that although Harry wasn't a Dragon Knight, he would have such a powerful mount. Truly befitting the Radiant Empire.

Moreover, Allen was shocked to hear that the Nymph Bird's speed was even faster than a dragon's, and he immediately thought of the Wyvern Legion he was building.

The strength of the Twin-Headed Dragons was sufficient, but seeing the speed of the Nymph Bird, Allen had a new plan.

"Harry, could you give me a feather from this Nymph Bird?" Allen looked at the Nymph Bird beneath Harry, very eager.

Although Harry was a little puzzled by Allen's request, he naturally wouldn't refuse Allen for such a trivial matter.

"Of course," Harry's hand moved slightly, and a feather appeared in his hand.

Allen smiled and took it, and immediately a voice appeared in his mind.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for unlocking the ancient magical species, Swift Bird. Rewarded with Creature Card Swift Bird * 10."

Swift Bird? Isn't it a Nymph Bird?

Allen was stunned, but he quickly realized that Harry probably didn't know the true name of the Swift Bird and had just given it a random name.

In the following days, they were on the road. After all, the distance between the Radiant Empire and the Duchy of Allen was not short, with more than one country in between.

Fortunately, both Allen and Harry were fast, and at full speed, they arrived at the Radiant Empire in a few days.

When he saw the Imperial City of the Radiant Empire, Allen couldn't help but take a deep breath and stop when he saw the giant wall that was hundreds of meters high.

Even the walls of the Norton Kingdom were only a few dozen meters high, which Allen found acceptable.

But seeing the walls of the Radiant Empire, the almost sun-obscuring walls left Allen, who was seeing them for the first time, quite shocked.

Harry was very pleased to see Allen like this. "Duke Allen, we have arrived at the Radiant Empire."

"The Radiant Empire has ordered that flying is not allowed near the Imperial City. Duke Allen, let's go down."

Allen then came back to his senses, "Indeed, the Imperial City of the Radiant Empire is truly shocking."

The two arrived at the city gate. As a marquis, Harry was naturally recognized, so nothing happened.

The Imperial City was bustling with people. There were many Bronze and Gold Knights, and occasionally a mage in a magic robe could be seen.

Seeing these knights and mages, who were considered strong even in their armies, seemed commonplace here, Allen further realized the strength of the Radiant Empire.

Moreover, the buildings in the Radiant Empire's Imperial City were all incredibly tall, looking very grand.

Harry led Allen to a residence that looked quite good.

An official inside, who was working, quickly stood up when he saw Harry: "It's Marquis Harry, what can I do for you?"

Harry smiled and said to that person, "This is Duke Allen, the person His Majesty wants to see. He will be staying here for now." The person had previously looked down on Allen somewhat, but after hearing Harry's words, he immediately dared not neglect him.

"So it's Duke Allen."

Allen didn't care and nodded. It seemed that after this battle, many people had indeed come to know him.

Harry looked at Allen, "Duke, this is the place the Empire uses to host other kingdoms and duchies. I'll have to trouble you to stay here for now. If His Majesty wants to see you, I'll notify you immediately." Allen naturally agreed, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Harry."

After Harry left, that person looked at Allen and said respectfully, "Please come this way, Duke Allen."

Chapter 441: Inquiring About Information

The official had a smiling face as he led Allen inside.

"Duke Allen is still leading the Duchy, although he will soon become a King. But the rules of the Empire are what they are, so we can only ask the Duke to stay here for now." "But rest assured, Duke Allen, I will definitely pick the best place for you."

Allen looked at him, somewhat puzzled, thinking that something wasn't right.

Although he was a Duke, this person shouldn't know about his Legendary status.

Then, as an official of the Glorious Empire, especially one in charge of receptions,

they should have seen many Dukes and even Kings before. At most, they would be a little more respectful towards him, so why was this person's attitude so good?

Allen was about to speak, but realized he didn't know the person's name, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "This…"

The person turned to look at him, smiling, and said, "You can call me Danilo, Duke."

"Hmm, does Mr. Danilo seem to know me?" Allen didn't want to directly ask, 'Big brother, are you being so nice to me because you have some kind of conspiracy?'

Danilo looked at Allen, "Of course. Many people in our Glorious Empire know of the Duke's name. The white sugar, wine, and delicacies produced by Duke Allen have long spread to the Glorious Empire."

"The Glorious Empire really likes those things from Duke Allen, so naturally, they won't be unfamiliar with the Duke. Now, hearing that Duke Allen single-handedly held off the undead for half a month has been even more shocking."

"Is that so?" Allen stroked his chin, still feeling that it wasn't that simple.

Danilo continued to speak, carefully looking at Allen, "What's most noteworthy is the magic potion from Duke Allen, the 'Final Gift,' which has become famous throughout the Glorious Empire."

Allen looked at Danilo, understanding something in his heart.

"But the price of that magic potion is too expensive, and the quantity is too small. My son is also a magician, but his talent isn't high, and he can only drift along. He's always wanted to buy a bottle but hasn't had the chance. r ."

"This, I don't know…"

Danilo looked at Allen, rubbed his hands, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I wonder if the Duke could sell me a bottle?"

Allen now understood completely. No wonder he felt that Danilo was being overly polite; it turned out it was for this.

This wasn't much to Allen. The 'Final Gift' might sound precious, but its production wasn't low. It was only like that to sell it for a good price.

At least, in Allen's Duchy, some older people with little potential had almost all drunk a bottle.

Allen didn't hesitate, and several potions instantly appeared in his hand. Allen stuffed them into Danilo's hand.

"Mr. Danilo, is this enough? If it's not enough…"

"Enough, enough!" Danilo quickly said.

Good heavens!

These were all magic potions, and one bottle cost hundreds of gold coins. So many added up to thousands of gold coins, enough to equal his salary for a year.

That wasn't even the most precious part. The main thing was that this magic potion could hardly be bought anywhere else. What Allen exchanged with them was all provided to the royal family, so they shouldn't even think about it.

Danilo was quick-witted. Seeing Allen, he thought about whether he could buy a bottle from him.

Now that he had received so many, he was somewhat worried.

"Duke Allen, this, this is too much. I can only afford one bottle." Danilo declined. Although he was very envious of so many, if he bought them all, he would go bankrupt.

"Ah, what do these things count for? Consider these a gift from me to Mr. Danilo." Allen waved his hand generously.

"How can this be?" Danilo was stunned by Allen's huge gift.

"Take it. Just consider it Allen making a friend."

"Then, then I thank the Duke very much." Danilo still didn't refuse the temptation.

After all, this was a magic potion that was rarely seen even in the Empire. If it were taken outside, someone would buy it for thousands of gold coins a bottle.

In the end, Danilo couldn't resist the temptation and accepted it.

Seeing that the fish had taken the bait, Allen revealed a triumphant smile.

"Mr. Danilo, I've just arrived in the Glorious Empire and have some questions to ask you."

Seeing Danilo's wary expression, Allen smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's nothing big."

"I'm just asking about the situation in the Glorious Empire. If Mr. Danilo doesn't want to answer, then forget it."

"It's not that. What questions does Duke Allen have?"

Danilo had just received such a great favor from someone, so it wasn't good to refuse.

"Danilo, what is the current Emperor of the Glorious Empire like?"

Allen asked Danilo, as he would be meeting him soon and had to understand his temperament.

It wouldn't be good to ask Harry about these things, as he was an envoy of the Glorious Empire, and it wouldn't be good if he told these things to the Emperor of the Glorious Empire.

Hearing that he was asking about this, Danilo breathed a sigh of relief. "His Majesty took over the throne from the previous Emperor and has been in power for several hundred years. It is said that His Majesty is very gentle and has a good temper. Few people say bad things about His Majesty."

Hearing this, Allen still felt that his luck wasn't bad.

After all, an emperor with a good temper was far more beneficial to him than a tyrannical emperor.

But it was also possible that he was pretending, but there shouldn't be any need for that.

"Then how many princes does His Majesty have?"

"One."

"One?"

"One!"

Danilo nodded affirmatively. Seeing that Allen was somewhat disbelieving, he looked around, found that no one was there, approached Allen, and said in a low voice.
