From Baron to Lord

"Well, you've done a good job." Allen nodded, praising.

If it were really left unchecked, Skywolf City would be unable to bear the burden.

"Now you must prepare well, and begin the relocation in three days," Allen instructed them.

Allen explained his plan, "We will transport some of the larger items from the coast of the Allen Duchy, through the Hilton Duchy, to reach the Norton Kingdom. I will have sea demon beasts accompany the fleet along the way."

Although taking the sea route is somewhat roundabout, it is still very cost-effective in comparison.

"As for the others, including those who will walk, let them pass through the middle of the Hilton Duchy and the Chomley Duchy. I will send people to escort them then."

"Sparrow, you are responsible for counting how many people are willing to relocate."

"No, that's not right." Allen suddenly thought that almost no one would disagree.

"You should first count how many people there are in and around our Skywolf City."

"Yes, Duke."

"Also, next, you must prepare for the relocation, and also seize the time to sort out the things that need to be organized in the Allen Duchy."

(Norton's) "Yes," Sparrow said with a mournful face.

Allen also felt that the time was a bit tight, and said to Oliver, who was beside him, "Oliver, you should assist Sparrow these few days."

Oliver had been the Minister of Finance after all, and it seemed he could help Sparrow a lot.

Sparrow thought of something, "Duke, Grand Duke Ryan brought Ryanason here the other day, wanting to see you, Duke. I have already settled them down. Do you want to meet them?"

"Grand Duke Ryan is here?" Allen couldn't help but recall Grand Duke Ryan, whom he had met before, and he guessed his purpose in his heart.

"This is not urgent. Your top priority now is to resolve the relocation as soon as possible."

"Yes."

"Alright, you can go down first. Marquis Albert, please stay behind."

Allen saw his father constantly winking at him, and couldn't help but ask him to stay, wanting to see what he wanted to say.

Chapter 432: Enfeoffment

"Allen, I want to go too." Seeing that only the two of them were left, Albert looked at Allen and said eagerly.

Allen raised his eyebrows, looking at Albert, "But, I was planning to have you stay in the Allen Duchy, Father."

Seeing Albert's face instantly collapse, Allen also felt amused.

It was no wonder Albert thought so, after all, the dukes within the kingdom were different from the grand dukes who independently established a country.

The former's status was generally much higher than the latter's, not only because they were backed by the kingdom.

Another point that everyone recognized was that the closer to the center of the continent, the more resources and the more fertile the land.

And the four great empires firmly occupied the most central part of the entire continent.

Albert naturally didn't want to stay in the Allen Duchy. Although the Allen Duchy was close to the coastal area, it also meant that it was the edge of the entire continent.

The Allen Duchy and the Ryan Duchy could be said to be a pair of unfortunate brothers. Even the Chomley Duchy and the Hilton Duchy were much better than them, let alone the Norton Kingdom.

Albert looked at Allen, "You little brat, you're too heartless, aren't you? You gave me the most remote Allen Duchy. Even those two guys, Copper Mountain and Iron Lizard, have better places than me. Wouldn't I be laughed to death by them then?"

Allen had a headache, "Father, the Allen Duchy has undergone several years of development and is developing better than most duchies. Moreover, this is also an important place."

"No, no, you should just find me a place in the kingdom and enfee me as a duke."

No matter what Allen said, Albert still didn't believe him and insisted on leaving the Allen Duchy.

Or rather, he actually knew, but he was unwilling to believe it and even more unwilling to work hard in the Allen Duchy, hoping to enjoy himself in the Norton Kingdom.

Allen was also speechless. These nobles were really more capable of enjoying themselves than the last.

He was only willing to hand over the Allen Duchy to Albert because he was his father. Now that he was unwilling, he had to find another reliable person.

"Alright, since Father is unwilling, then go back and pack up the things in the territory first, and set off together in three days."

Hearing this, Albert immediately beamed, "No problem, I've actually been prepared for a long time, just waiting for your word."

Allen supported his forehead, "Alright, alright, my father, hurry up and pack up."

"By the way, don't move everything out of the territory. The Allen Duchy still needs to continue to exist."

"Don't worry." Albert's figure had already disappeared.

Allen returned to the backyard and saw Cecilmina and Mina and Cruise, whom he had saved before, talking excitedly together.

Lucy and Leixue were playing in the garden in the distance.

"Allen!" Cecilmina said excitedly when she saw Allen.

The other two also stood up, but Lucy and the others were too far away and didn't know that Allen had arrived.

"Well, you can sit." Allen looked at them and said kindly.

"Greetings, Grand Duke Allen, thank you for saving our lives."

Mina and Cruise no longer had their previous aggressive attitude and looked very respectful, not looking down on him because of Allen's identity as a Grand Duke.

Cecilmina's contribution was probably not small in this. However, Mina's gaze was a little strange, making Allen feel a little guilty.

"Allen, Cruise just told me that he knows of ten undersea mineral veins of the Ates Empire!" Cecilmina said happily, "And all of them are high-quality mineral veins."

Oh? It seemed that the reward had arrived. Allen looked at Cruise, who was not speaking on the side, and Cruise nodded.

"I accidentally discovered these ten mineral veins, but unfortunately, they were later polluted by the abyss, and there was no chance to tell anyone."

"This can be considered a slight repayment for the Grand Duke's life-saving grace, and these mineral veins are very close to the Allen Duchy, and the quality is also very good."

Cruise introduced this mineral vein to Allen (cfbh), but Allen was most eager for the treasure of the Ates Empire.

Immediately, he didn't hesitate and asked directly, "Kruse, do you know if the Atlantis Empire has any remaining treasures or anything like that?"

"Allen, how did you know we were already looking for the Atlantis Empire's treasury?" Cecilmina was very surprised.

"What? You really found the treasury?" Allen was overjoyed; he had been thinking about this for a long time.

"Not yet, just a little clue." Cecilmina reached out, and a small azure bead appeared in her hand, the very one she had obtained before.

"This, didn't you say it was a divine spark, Cecilmina?" Allen looked left and right but still couldn't see anything unusual about it.

"Before, I did think this was a divine spark researched by the Atlantis Empire, but after Kruse and Mina's research, they discovered that there was actually another space inside."

"Kruse was the one who researched space the most back then, so his words won't be wrong."

Kruse had been standing aside, not saying much. At this moment, he simply nodded, "My judgment shouldn't be wrong, but opening the space inside this bead requires Legendary realm power."

"We were just about to look for you when you came over." Cecilmina gave the bead to Allen.

Allen took the bead and looked at it curiously, not expecting that the treasure he had been longing for had already been obtained.

"Allen, try it first." Cecilmina urged him.

"Okay." Allen circulated his power and began to input his Legendary power into the bead.

As Allen continued to input power, the bead showed no reaction at all.

Allen hadn't expected this. After all, the Legendary realm is currently the pinnacle of power on the continent.

Other things, let alone being able to withstand so much power like this bead.

Just being able to withstand a trace of Legendary power would make it a rare treasure on this continent.

But now, this small bead still seemed to have no reaction at all.

Allen didn't believe it and increased his strength. Only then did some light finally emit from the bead.

As time passed, Allen also felt the bead in his hand begin to vibrate. The light emitted by the bead also became stronger and stronger, making it hard for people to open their eyes.

Finally, as if unable to withstand it any longer, the bead trembled violently and shattered into several pieces with cracking sounds.

"What's going on?"

Allen stood there dumbfounded. Wasn't it said that there was a treasure inside? Why did the thing break?

"This, it's impossible."

Kruse also couldn't believe it. His judgment couldn't be wrong; there was indeed a space inside.

Chapter 433: Poseidon's Trident

Looking at the fragments in Allen's hand, everyone present was stunned.

Cecilmina was the first to react, "Allen, Kruse didn't do it on purpose. He really sensed a hidden space inside."

Allen also reacted. Although his heart ached, he still acted like it was nothing, "It's okay."

Kruse also stammered, "Duke, this shouldn't be. My senses can't be wrong, I..."

"Alright." Allen didn't let him continue, "It's not your fault. I agreed to this too. Well, I can only blame my bad luck." But at this moment, the fragments in Allen's hand suddenly shone brightly, seeming to move again?

"What?"

The others paused and focused all their attention on it.

They saw that on top of the pile of fragments, blue light continuously emerged from the fragments, floating in Allen's hand.

And the fragments quickly became dim and dull, turning into gray stones.

And the light above combined together, becoming something like a pool of water.

"What is this?"

Allen looked at Cecilmina and Kruse Mina. They all shook their heads, apparently not knowing either.

Allen curiously poked it with his hand, but unexpectedly, this ball of light actually followed his finger and entered Allen's body.

"Allen!" Cecilmina was anxious and rushed over. Allen waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.

He was, after all, a two-star Legendary powerhouse. How could he be ambushed by something from thousands of years ago? If that were the case, Allen wouldn't need to live any longer.

He could feel that this ball of light had no malice towards him, and once it entered his body, Allen felt it and used his extraordinary power to protect the ball of light, just in case.

But there seemed to be no harm. On the contrary, Allen felt a mysterious space contained within.

With a wave of Allen's hand, a large pile of things appeared on the ground, all neatly categorized and placed.

Gold coins, jewelry, a large number of weapons, books, and so on, occupying a large area.

"Duke? Did you get the treasure of the Atlantis Empire?"

Kruse looked at the things on the ground and said with some excitement and melancholy.

"Yeah." Allen was also a little excited, "There are many things inside. I only took out some of the most important ones."

"If you don't mind, you can come up and take a look." Allen smiled, seeing their envious looks.

Hearing this, they couldn't help but become impatient and picked up the things one after another.

Allen also casually took out a long sword. Looking at the complex patterns on the sword and feeling the shocking sharpness, he was secretly surprised.

Although this long sword looked unremarkable, in terms of its material and function, it was comparable to the weapon of a Dragon Knight.

And there were hundreds of such weapons inside!

Even though Allen was prepared, he couldn't help but click his tongue. The powerful strength of the Atlantis Empire was evident.

However, although these weapons were good, they still couldn't catch Allen's eye.

Allen couldn't help but think of the weapon of Keding, the Lord of the Abyss. That seemingly inconspicuous, even somewhat gray axe, had the power to tear everything apart.

Allen had always been envious of that, but unfortunately, in that explosion, even if it hadn't been destroyed by the space fragments, it was probably lost in the void.

Allen had been heartbroken for a long time, and he hadn't been in a hurry to find a weapon after returning.
