Starting Life as a Baron

Alan was slightly surprised by Harry's return, but after hearing his plea, Alan laughed.

"Do you want iron car technology?"

Alan paused for a moment while cutting the lamb chops in his hands.

"Yes, Archduke Alan, I think the Empire definitely attaches great importance to this kind of technology.

Harry's face was serious and solemn. Only after seeing the advantages of the iron chariot could he understand his mood at the moment.

"Technology can be handed over to you."

Alan smiled: "But it is impossible to give it to you for free, even if it is an empire, I will not provide technology for free.

"Of course, as long as you are willing to provide the technology, we can pay enough.

Harry said with a smile.

"This kind of technology is nothing, it will be implemented sooner or later, even if it is not retrogressed now, sooner or later, others will imitate railway cars.

Alan smiled slightly, and he was already mentally prepared for this.

One month after the train was opened to traffic, the Principality of Lane has already put forward a request to learn this technology.

Of course Alan wouldn't give it away for free.

This technology is extremely valuable to the mainland.

Core technology Alan is absolutely impossible to provide, but if the railway is made, Alan does not mind.

If the railway can be used to open up the gateways of various countries, this will undoubtedly bring the business development of the Principality of Alan to a higher level.

After all, if there is more developed transportation, then business exchanges will become more convenient.

Business, especially large-scale commodity trading, is often very troublesome. If it is only transported by carriages or convoys, it will consume a lot of manpower and material resources. Moreover, in this world, there are robbers, bandits, and even monsters in some places. .

In short, this world is extremely dangerous, and it is dangerous for caravans to transport goods.

And if there are iron cars, this problem can be solved.

The iron car is very fast, and there will be patrols around the iron car. When building the railway, the surrounding monsters and bandits will be eliminated first, and the iron car will also be protected by certain knights or magicians.

Security and speed are greatly improved.

The most important thing is that the iron car can transport a lot of goods at one time.

So long ago, Alan had already started trading with the surrounding principalities. They provided gold coins and some resources, and Alan could help them build railways.

But the core of the iron car cannot be given to them.

After all, as a convenient means of transportation, in addition to daily life and commercial trade, the iron car is also extremely beneficial to the war.

The iron car was built to be able to have a speed far exceeding that of other countries.

And if the core is handed over, Tieche will lose its strategic advantage.

"But the core cannot be given to you.

Alan turned the conversation and said softly: "We can make railway cars for you, but I can't give you the core technology. 95

Harry was stunned for a moment, but he didn't react immediately, but lowered his head and thought for a moment.

On this trip to the south, he was only here to confirm Alan's situation.

But obviously, the current situation far exceeded his expectations.

Because Alan is so good.

From the moment he entered the capital, Harry clearly felt the difference between this country and those other small countries.

The country looks so perfect.

Many facilities are not even in the Empire.

The students of Alan Academy are also very good.

Potions are also very powerful.

Even traffic is so powerful.

If it weren't for the fact that the territory was on the edge of the continent, Harry would have thought that he had come to a powerful king's capital.

He is now thinking about what Alan said.

That is, the core technology cannot be obtained.

This means that the Empire will be suppressed by Alan in some way.

For a great empire, this is impossible to accept.

But Harry didn't threaten Alan.

no need.

Obviously, this wise grand duke would not just compete against the empire without knowing anything.

After seeing the signs of the capital of Alan, Harry felt that Alan was not as simple as it seemed.

From the first time he saw Alan, he felt a vague sense of crisis.

It wasn't a strong feeling, but it made Harry understand how terrifying the force contained in the body of that young, over-the-top man was terrifying.

The strength of this grand duke is definitely not just a dragon knight who has just entered the sanctuary.

Harry was sure of this, and this was why Harry had always respected Alan.

Besides because Alan is a dragon knight, Alan's strength is also a reason.

Harry wasn't sure how powerful Alan was.

But he knew that Alan was definitely an amazing person.

This kind of person who can do well in all aspects and can even achieve great achievements is definitely a rare genius even in the empire.

・Seeking flowers・・

Such a guy, Harry really wants to win over.

1.....

Alan's demands are undoubtedly against the Empire.

The hegemony of the empire is almost impossible to agree to.

this is a problem.

Even the Lord of Purgatory may not be able to withstand the pressure of the empire.

"Grand Duke Alan, your request is not excessive, but the empire's power is not that large. To be precise, most of the nobles of the empire are used to the feeling of being aloof, and they may not agree to your request. 99

Harry was a little helpless, and to be honest, he didn't want to force a gifted genius.

But he had no choice.

It would be fine if he didn't see the iron car, but when he saw the iron car, he couldn't turn a blind eye.

"That question. 35

Alan started cutting the lamb chops again, putting the roast lamb in his mouth.

"In fact, I thought the Empire would force me to hand over the potion formula right away, but to my surprise, Marquis Harry, you didn't do that, and you could even promise me that I wouldn't be forced."35

"Is it the iron car that I don't care too much about, so you can't make any promises? 99

Alan chewed the mutton slightly, held the golden wine glass in his hand, took a sip of the wine, and said with a comfortable expression.

"I'm sorry, Archduke Alan, the iron chariot is very important and may affect the fate of the empire, so..."

Harry bowed his head slightly and apologized. He understood the domineering and violence of the empire. Once the powerful empire knew about the iron car, it would probably immediately put pressure on the Principality of Alan.

Alan waved his hand, he slowly finished the roast lamb chops, and then wiped the grease stains from the corners of his mouth.

"You don't need to apologize, this is to be expected, it's just a change of target from potions to iron carts."

Alan chuckled: "I'm sorry, let me refuse your request, I still say that, the core technology of the iron car cannot be given to you.

He looked calm and calm, but there was a strong aura constantly surging from his body.

Even Harry, the Marquis from the Empire, the sanctuary-level powerhouse felt an indescribable terrifying pressure in front of Alan.

"Legend... Legendary Realm?!"

Harry was stunned, and the whole person was stunned on the spot.

The faces of the students around him turned pale in an instant.

Alan just released a little breath, it was enough to make them feel suffocated.
