From Baron to Lord

The dragons stared at Marco with wide eyes.

Since it was Allen's order, they would take a good look at Marco.

Soon, five dragons indicated they had no interest in Marco.

Remaining were a Lightning Dragon, a Light Dragon, and a Bronze Dragon.

The Jewel Dragons, as nobles, didn't seem to like Marco.

This made Allen raise his eyebrows slightly, he had underestimated the pride within the dragons.

Even with his orders, the Jewel Dragons would probably never cooperate with ordinary humans.

Allen silently noted this problem, and after returning, he would have to make some modifications and improvements to the others.

The Jewel Dragons showed no interest in Marco and chose to refuse, while the remaining three dragons each hesitated.

Allen smiled: "Alright, my children, don't worry too much about Marco's strength and future, trust me, he will be a great partner."

"Roar!"

After hearing Allen's words, the Light Dragon finally stood out.

Seeing that the Light Dragon had already made a choice, the remaining two dragons no longer hesitated and chose to withdraw.

Allen stepped forward, he reached out and touched the Light Dragon's body. This dragon, radiating light and appearing extremely holy, lowered its head and gently nestled against Allen.

"Chloe, good child, have you decided?"

Allen said to the Light Dragon, Chloe.

Chloe responded softly, indicating that it was certain. It could feel Marco's enthusiasm and loyalty to Allen.

Furthermore, after following Allen, this knight had almost eliminated all his personal desires, serving Allen in the manner of serving a god, with Allen as the center, his heart was open and honest.

In addition, Marco was originally a person who valued the knight's code very much.

This met the Light Dragon's selection criteria.

Marco was an upright and honorable knight.

Allen stroked Chloe's head and smiled slightly: "Then Chloe, get along well with Marco in the future."

After Allen finished speaking, he snapped his right fingers, and immediately, the other dragons disappeared, while he and Chloe directly appeared in front of Marco.

"My knight, Marco, in the name of the monarch, I praise your loyalty, affirm your contribution, and I will grant you the title of Dragon Knight, offer everything to me, Marco."

Allen said calmly, beside him was a huge, lofty Light Dragon.

(cfbh) "Duke! And... a dragon?!"

Marco swallowed, completely stunned.

"Marco!"

Allen said loudly.

"Present!"

Marco immediately responded.

"Standing before you is my daughter, the Light Dragon Chloe, she is willing to reach an agreement with you and fight alongside you. From today onwards, you are the Light Dragon Knight of the Allen Duchy!"

"Now start signing the contract with Chloe."

Allen said to Marco.

He referred to the dragons as his children because he had raised each of them, and he had very deep feelings for these dragons.

Marco swallowed, he never thought he could possess a dragon.

The moment Allen appeared with the dragon, Marco was almost shocked to the point of fainting.

After Allen said that this sacred and majestic Light Dragon was actually his dragon, Marco almost knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face. "This... this isn't a dream, is it?!" Marco said excitedly.

"Ah, you saying that makes it difficult for me to answer, Marco."

Allen smiled: "Accurately speaking, this is dreaming, but Chloe is real, I'm just letting her meet you in a dream."

"Because of the special nature of dragons, your communication and cooperation will be in dreams in the future." Allen did not deny that this was a dream, but he also explained it clearly.

"It's a dream?!" Marco looked around in surprise. This incredibly real world was actually a dream?

The Duke's power is becoming more and more mysterious and unpredictable, he can even control dreams.

Marco was shocked in his heart, but at the same time, he felt that it was only natural.

In his opinion, Allen's strength was unstoppable.

"Don't worry, Marco, I said I would fulfill your wish to be a Dragon Knight. Now, come over and communicate with Chloe."

Allen said to Marco: "Chloe is not yet an adult, but it won't be long. Marco, before Chloe reaches adulthood, I will often arrange for you to meet in dreams."

"During this time, you need to work harder to cultivate." Allen said to Marco.

"I understand, Duke, I will definitely not let you down."

Marco bowed to Allen, and then excitedly approached Chloe.

Allen's figure quickly dissipated, but his voice could still be heard here.

"Marco, I will wake you up in an hour. Get to know each other during this hour." After Allen finished speaking, he completely disappeared.

"Splash, splash!"

The seawater washed over the beach, Allen slowly opened his eyes, behind him was Marco sitting on the ground, at this moment the knight was closing his eyes tightly, with an excited look on his face.

"The third Dragon Knight of the Allen Duchy has been born."

Allen was in a good mood. He looked out at the sea, wondering when he would bring Thomas over to advance as well.

Chapter 383: Changes in the Sea, Sick Sirens

An hour later, Allen woke Marco up and rode the dragon towards the Allen Duchy.

Because it was a coastal duchy, Allen happened to see the Allen Duchy's sea fleet on his way back.

Since the rise of southern seafood, the treant factory has manufactured many sailboats for the duchy to catch seafood.

With sirens present, almost all four seasons can be the peak season for seafood.

Golden caviar and ice crystal fish are constantly being exported, bringing huge profits and fame to the Allen Duchy.

Originally, Allen planned to leave directly, but Ms. Jennifer kept waving at him from one of the sailboats, as if she wanted to talk to him.

Allen didn't hesitate and quickly landed on the ship where Ms. Jennifer was.

It had been a while since he personally came here to inspect, and it was also good to see his siren ladies.

“Respected Duke, I apologize for interrupting you.”

Jennifer's tone was somewhat apprehensive and apologetic.

Allen waved his hand. He looked at Sphyt City not far away. Since the iron carriages were connected, Sphyt's fishing industry had developed rapidly.

With the iron carriages, seafood could be spread to the entire duchy at the fastest speed, and the flow of people coming and going was also increasing rapidly.

Now, under Allen's rule, the Duchy of Allen has obviously begun to prosper, and the common people can also have the opportunity to see the vast world.

At the same time, it has driven the development of the economic chain. For the duchy, the iron carriages have brought unprecedented vigor and vitality.

The current Sphyt City has become more and more clean and tidy.

As the largest city in the southern seaport, with the beaches prepared by Jennifer and some non-dangerous sea areas, it has become a very popular tourist destination for some people.

At the same time, the swimsuits Allen made before finally came in handy.

Even though Allen was some distance away from the coast, he could still hear the cheers from afar.

Sunshine, beaches, and the sea, as well as men and women wearing swimsuits, made Allen feel a little comfortable.

“It's okay. It's been a long time since I've been to Sphyt City. I've passed by several times without paying attention. Now I realize that the changes are huge. Ms. Jennifer, it seems that you are really suitable for managing coastal cities.”

Allen was very satisfied. He had talked to Jennifer about the development of seaside tourism before, but he himself had not taken it to heart. On the contrary, Jennifer paid more attention to it and even developed a lot.

“It's all based on your ideas.”

Jennifer said respectfully.

“Then tell me, what's the matter you're looking for me for?”

Allen casually sat on a chair. Marco stood behind Allen. He had Allen's magic device on him, which could hide most of his aura, making him look no different from a ninth-level knight.

“It's like this, Duke.”

Jennifer's expression changed slightly.

“Several months ago, the corpses of some seabed magic beasts would often appear in the sea. The sirens told me that some strange changes seemed to have occurred in the distant depths of the sea.” Jennifer frowned slightly with her beautiful eyes, and her tone was unusually solemn.

“Originally, we thought it was some seabed magic beasts fighting for territory, and we didn't care, and the situation where magic beast corpses were lurking on the coast disappeared quickly.” “Because there were no abnormalities, we didn't pay too much attention to it.”

“Until recently, the sirens' emotions became a little anxious and uneasy, and at the same time, the quality of the sea water seemed to be changing.” When Jennifer said this, she asked her subordinates to bring two basins of water.

They contained two basins of sea water.

It was obvious that the sea water in one basin seemed to be slightly darker in color. In the faintness, it seemed that there was something special in the sea water, like black mist.

Allen frowned slightly. He hadn't paid much attention to the changes in the sea water just now. “This is…”

“Filth…”

Allen's expression changed slightly. He looked carefully: “No, it's different from the filth of the abyss. This negative power is more of a combination of the aura of the undead and negative emotions.” “How can there be such power in the sea?”

Allen raised his eyebrows slightly. He stood up and walked towards the edge of the ship, and then the whole person jumped slightly and landed on the sea.

Obviously, there was indeed this black power here, but it was very thin.

After checking it again, Allen returned to the ship.

“There are indeed some problems. Has it already affected the fishing industry?” Allen said with a frown.

“Yes, Duke. Currently, the output of seafood in the entire southern region has dropped sharply. If it weren't for the sirens purifying the water quality and ensuring the quality of the surrounding sea water, while ensuring the growth of fish, I wouldn't dare to imagine what the result would be.” Jennifer said worriedly: “Especially recently, the Duchy of Leanne has begun to be greatly affected. The fishing industry has almost completely stopped production. The sea water has changed too much in the past half month. I was just about to report it to you.” . . . . . . Asking for flowers.

Allen nodded. The sea area near the Duchy of Allen could be guaranteed not to be too seriously polluted because of the sirens.

As for other places, Allen could imagine what the situation would be.

Although there are only two countries, the Duchy of Allen and the Duchy of Leanne, near the south coast, it does not mean that only the Duchy of Allen and the Duchy of Leanne are on the coast of the entire continent.

They are only duchies in a peninsula-like terrain protruding from the southern coast of the continent. The coastline of the entire continent is very vast, and countless duchies have established countries on the coast.

The affected ones are definitely not just Allen and the Duchy of Leanne. . 0 “Are you here to investigate the water quality this time?” Allen asked with some concern.

“No, it's not. We received a distress signal from the sirens. A siren is sick.” Jennifer said worriedly.

Sirens are semi-elemental life forms, known as the daughters of the sea, and it is almost impossible for them to get sick, because they are part of the sea. “Sick…”

Allen's tone was a little surprised, and at the same time, a bad feeling rose in his heart. “Ding, trigger side quest: The Sick Siren.”
