Seeing Hagus's strange appearance, Daniel asked lightly: "Mr. Commander, it seems that you know this Baron Allen?" ”

"There is no one in the border land who does not know Sir Allen, and it is not a secret that he is afraid of his strength, so we have made a peace treaty with him in the Black Iron Castle before." Hagus doesn't hide it.

"In that case, should I consider undoing the action?" Daniel asked deliberately.

Hagus's chest heaved, and he met Daniel's gaze and said firmly: "No, this is not a border land, and the treaty will not come into force." Since I promised that my lord would deal with your enemies, I will not go back. It's just that if the opponent is Sir Allen, I hope that the adults will not take it lightly, and must use twelve points of strength to have any hope of cutting off this person! ”

Hagus said this categorically, and it was clear that he had made up his mind. Climbing Daniel was something he had been planning for a long time. With the power of the Viscount, he is expected to sit in the position of Lord of the Black Iron Castle for the next few years. Naturally, I don't want to delay because of an Allen now, he is already in his early forties, and if he doesn't do anything in the next ten years, this life will be like this. Hagus was not reconciled, so he had to fight when he was at his strongest.

Daniel nodded and said, "Not this time, because this time, I will personally go out and kill this Allen!" ”

Barre behind him showed a surprised expression, Daniel hadn't really shot for a long time, after all, around here, even Oban was no match for him. Not to mention the others, even Duru has only fought Daniel a few times. Of course, it was purely a competition between two warriors, but it always ended in Duru's defeat. Duru is a man who doesn't let go of water, so Daniel's strength has always maintained a strong momentum. If he was willing to take action himself this time, Alan would not be lucky no matter how he looked at it.

It's been a long time since Barre has felt his blood boiling, and if it weren't for the occasion, he would have almost growled. Daniel felt the surging momentum of Barre behind him and smiled slightly. At that moment, the viscount's face suddenly turned pale, and Daniel shook and reached out to hold his chest.

Hagus and Barre were startled at the same time, the latter hurriedly supported Daniel, and the former asked, "Lord Daniel, are you okay?" ”

Daniel's face quickly turned rosy, took a step forward, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing, Hagus." You've had a hard journey, so let's go down and rest first, and we'll discuss the battle plan in the evening. Barre, take our guests to rest. ”

Barre looked at Daniel hesitantly, and only then did the viscount glare at him again, and then he nodded away. Daniel sent the other guards out, and when the gate closed, the blood on his face quickly receded, revealing a sickly pale. His body shook slightly, and even the hand holding the armrest trembled slightly. It took a moment for Daniel's pale face to turn bloody.

At this time, he really recovered, and as for just now, it was the use of source power to speed up the blood, which deceived Hagus and the others. As the highest-ranking person in this hall, how can he show fatigue in front of his subordinates. But now, Daniel felt a wave of emptiness in his body. Just now, he suddenly dropped a level, from the original twenty-five levels, to the current twenty-four levels.

Source power loss!

This happened a lot over the course of a month, and Daniel didn't notice it at first. Until not long ago, the amount of source power lost was too great, and at that moment, a part of the source power disappeared completely in the body like winter snow melting. Just like this time, Daniel felt like someone had taken something out of his body, and his whole person became weak and empty, only to realize that his source power had been lost for no reason.

And now, he has dropped a notch. This is a huge loss, the lost source power can only be made up for by continuing to temper it, but to make up for a whole level of source power, it is not a day or two of hard work to be able to do it. Daniel closed his eyes and thought hard, the loss of source power will not appear in vain, this phenomenon will appear, it is generally hit hard, and the source force will be dispersed by external forces, and it will be forcibly demoted.

But like him, he has been losing for a month, and finally led to a demotion. In addition to some dark diseases in his body, he was poisoned. Prior to this, he had been secretly checked for his identity, and had not found any hidden diseases in his body. Then the worst case is, he was poisoned. This is also a difficult problem to solve, knowing that his diet and daily life are all taken care of by the old butler who has taken care of him for decades, and Daniel has never doubted the loyalty of the butler.

But if it's not the old butler, who can approach him without being discovered? A figure flashed through Daniel's mind, and he snapped his eyes open, his chest heaving. After calming down, he called the old butler: "Go find Carret, ask him to find Charil, and say that I have a new task." ”

The butler glanced at him, didn't say anything, and nodded his head.

In the evening, the old butler saw Daniel in the study, and replied to Carret's message: "Mr. Carrett said that Miss Charlier had left the association more than half a month ago, and her whereabouts are unknown. ”

Daniel's face was gloomy, and he nodded and let the old butler leave. Looking at it this way, it must be Xia Li'er who made the shot. Thinking about it this way, after she came back from being injured that time and rejoiced with her, the phenomenon of source power loss began to appear. In other words, Xia Li'er had already done her hands and feet at that time. Daniel slapped his palm on the desk, and the wooden table immediately fell apart, and he snorted and stood up.

He has always been a restrained person, but it was difficult for him to meet Xia Lier that time. Afterwards, he wondered if he had overindulged. Looking at it now, Xia Lier must have used some urges at that time. Affectionate ingredients of drugs to stimulate his affection. desire, and then the light system naturally occurs. During that time, Charlier had too much time to get her hands dirty. But why did she do it?

Thinking of this, Daniel remembered that Charylene had said that the potion master Baggins had taken refuge in Allen.

"Baggins, Charyl...... Allan! Daniel looked up sharply, and some thoughts finally came together in his head. The initiator of this qiē must be that Allen, and it is precisely because of him that Xia Lier has a urge. The love drug and the means to drain his source power are all because Allen has a Baggins on him! It had become clear that whether Charyl had made her do it voluntarily or forced, there would be no one else but Allen.

Thinking of this, Daniel's eyes were bloodshot, and now he wanted to tear Eren to pieces!

It's another day of early morning at Ark Harbor, but today is no ordinary day. In fact, today is the day the Deep Sea Scaly Lady leaves the city and heads to the Bauhinia Collar. Early in the morning, people who got the news took to the streets early in the morning, cheering enthusiastically as the troops passed by. From time to time, soldiers in the army fired a cannon salute, covering the entire city with colorful patches.

In the sound of artillery from time to time, in front of Oban's private building, a carriage was also ready. Alan took Lucy and Baggins, who had just arrived yesterday, into the carriage, and they were also going back to Castle Dawn. Last night, the dragon visited again and took a drug concocted by Baggins. The drug will remain dormant in the human body for three months, and if the antidote is not obtained after three months, the drug will die.

After listening to Allen's detailed explanation, the dragon did not hesitate at all, and took the medicine in front of Allen to show his sincerity. In this regard, Allen is a little different to this Oriental. After all, there are really not many people like Long who know that it is highly poisonous and have never hesitated to take it. It can also be seen from this how resolute his thoughts of revenge are, otherwise he would not be so simple.

Dragon and Jora will leave together today, but Alan and he have already decided on some contact information. With him by Jora's side, Alan knows everything about Bauhinia Flower.

Allen's convoy chose the other side of the city gate to leave, and this time, there was no more competition with the Deep Sea Scaly Hime. In the carriage, Baggins closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, while Lucy looked out the window and said, "Why don't you say goodbye to your lover?" ”

"What a lover, don't talk nonsense." Eren didn't have a good airway.

Lucy turned around and said with a grin, "Don't tell me, you can't see it, Miss Jora has a good impression of you." ”

"So what? It's impossible for me to be with her, and now this relationship is good for all of us. Alan could only sigh in his heart when he remembered what had happened in the White Castle Arena that day, and remembered Jora's impulsive hug.

Jora's identity is a big question, and if she weren't the count's sister, something might have happened between her and Alan. It's a pity that as a member of the Ridley family, she was destined to be unable to decide her own happiness from birth. Her happiness is ranked after the interests of the family. She did not shirk her obligations, and Eren was quite restrained, and from the beginning she had no intention of getting involved in any other relationship with this woman, so as not to affect his judgment of Oban.

This is a relationship that is not destined to happen, because at the beginning of its germination, it has been pulled out by the two of them.

"It's weird, I can see that she likes you, why didn't she take any further action?" Lucy said with her hand on her chin.

Alan took her hand and smiled, "Because not everyone has that kind of courage like you, but then again, why do you want to push me out in the first place." ”

"In that case, don't I have a valid excuse to find a lover?" Lucy blinked.

Alan pretended to be angry and said, "Don't think about it, if a man dares to touch one of your hair, I'll chop off his hand!" ”

Lucy shook her head and said, "You men are so domineering. ”

After speaking, he sneered, obviously very disappointed by Allen's "domineering".

A few days later, Alan returned to Castle of Dawn. His territory now includes Castle of Dawn, Sunset City, and Hungry Lord. Among these three territories, whether it is its own strength or geographical location, Dawning Castle is undoubtedly the best condition, so Alan attaches great importance to it and will also dump the focus of development on it a little.

Of course, he will naturally not let go of the other two territories. The iron mines in Sunset City, plus the steel mines in Castle of Dawn, will provide Alan with high-quality raw materials for equipment, so he plans to move Lins and the Weapons Workshop to this new territory after returning to Stormtown. Castle of Dawn and Sunset City are basically just as long as they develop at the original pace, but the Hungry Wolf Territory needs to be focused on by Allen.

The territory had become barren due to Duru's inaction, and less than two-thirds of its inhabitants remained. If Alan doesn't reform and rebuild at this rate, it will soon become a wasteland.

In fact, the conditions of the Hungry Wolf Territory itself are not bad, it is in the same league as the Castle of Dawn. Neither the soil nor the rain is much worse than the Castle of Dawn, and it can be used for farming. Taking advantage of the opportunity of Oban to exempt his territory from paying taxes for three years, after Alan returned to Castle of Dawn, he also announced the three-year tax exemption to all his territories. This is very good news for the people in the territory, which means that for the next three years, they will not have to pay the income of their labor, and it will be completely their own wealth.

There is no doubt that this news has the greatest impact on the hungry wolf collar. When they heard the news, the people in the territory breathed a sigh of relief. You know, if Alan were taxed like Duruff, they would have to tighten their belts for the year.

However, the good news of the hungry wolf collar came one after another.

Just after the news of tax exemption, the next day, Allen issued a new policy. He will bring a batch of high-quality grains of all kinds from the Castle of Dawn and provide them to the people of the realm for free for farming. Along with the grain seeds, there will be a new batch of farming tools, as well as several farming experts from Dawning Castle, who will stay in the Hungry Wolf Territory for a while to help the people here resume farming.

In addition, Alan also funded the construction of houses for several villages and towns in the Hungry Wolf Territory for free, and showed the announcement to the entire territory. Merchants and farmers who come to the Hungry Wolf Territory for business investment and agricultural cultivation are subject to an additional two-year tax exemption in addition to the previous three years. In this way, it greatly stimulates people's enthusiasm and creates a small migration wave within the territory.

Some businessmen who saw a business opportunity, as well as farmers who coveted the five-year tax exemption, flocked to the hungry wolf lead. The infusion of these new blood has brought new hope to this barren land. And behind these actions, Allen's millions of gold coins that he had just earned from Glaar were spent like water. But for him, it's a necessary investment. Only when the local tyrant he planted is fertile can he grow a towering tree that is enough to support his development.

And because of these various favors, Allen quickly earned him a reputation such as kindness and generosity, which was an added bonus. These gains have quickly accumulated prestige for him, and in the foreseeable future, his prestige will continue to grow higher and higher. R1058
