"Bard! Since your strength has now reached the limit of a high-level knight, I will prepare an extraordinary blood potion for you. However, the materials for making the extraordinary blood potion are too rare and may not be produced in a short time! Do you know?"
Bud, who was full of hope, Allen said with a wry smile.
Bard's face froze obviously, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he said frustratedly: "Yes! Sir! I'm not in a hurry, you can wait!"
Just then, the old housekeeper Kaili walked in.
"Sir!" The butler looked at Bud and said to Allen.
"Bud! You go down first!" Allen said following Bud.
"yes!"
After Bud left, Allen looked serious, looked at the butler and said, "Butler Carey, what's going on? Could something happen to those nobles?"
"Sir! No, it's Count Willie from the Principality of Sid who is here! He also brought several carts of congratulatory gifts! He came to pay homage to you, Your Majesty! He is now waiting outside the castle!" Butler Carey shook his head slightly.
"Oh! Bring him in!" Allen nodded and said softly, Earl Willie was the first Earl to arrive from the Principality of Sid this time.
Shortly afterwards, Butler Carey led the smiling Earl Willie into the hall.
"I've met Duke Allen!" Count Willie walked to the center of the hall and bowed very respectfully.
"Haha! Count Willy, I'm not a duke yet, it's better to call me Earl!" Allen heard Count Willy call him, smiled and shook his head.
"Yes! It was my lack of consideration. I hope Earl Allen doesn't suggest it!" Earl Willy apologized, and he didn't seem to mean to flatter him. It was all an accident.
However, Count Willy's words did make Allen smile. It was considered a compliment, and Allen didn't mind.
"Thank you Count Willy for coming! Please take a seat!" Seeing Count Willy still standing in the center, Allen said with a smile.
"Thank you, Earl Allen! But, haha, in addition to representing myself this time, I also have another identity, that is, the envoy of Archduke Moss. Archduke Daimos sent congratulations to Earl Allen. These are the people of Moss.
A congratulatory gift prepared by the Grand Duke!" Earl Willie bent down slightly and did not sit down. Instead, he took out a list from his sleeve and handed it to Butler Carey on the side, who handed it to Allen.
Allen took the list, pretended to flip it through, then put it on the table and said to Count Willy: "Thank you to Archduke Moss for me!"
"I'll be there for sure!" Count Willy affirmed.
Then the two of them chatted with each other for a while.
"Earl Willie is tired from traveling, and the steward of Carey went to rest on behalf of Count Willie!"
Allen and Count Willy were not familiar with each other at all, and the gap in status and strength meant that there were not many topics to talk about. Moreover, Allen obviously felt that Count Willy was a little reserved when talking to him.
"yes!"
"Thank you, Count Allen!" Count Willy's face was obviously relieved.
No one came to disturb him again. Allen put away the parchment map on the table and went to the study. As for the list of gifts on the table, Allen had naturally forgotten it. Unless there was something wrong with Archduke Moss's head, there would definitely be nothing in it.
Something too precious appears.
After arriving in the study, Allen pressed the secret room mechanism and walked slowly down the bluestone stairs into the basement.
Then Allen sat down cross-legged on a huge stone platform, and lightly touched the Void Bead with his right hand. A large number of twisted shapes appeared, like wooden sticks with many thorns, but these sticks were all blue.
Colored metal, with a metallic luster on the surface.
These are blue gold, which Allen extracted from the blue gold mine in order to forge a blue gold scepter and prepare himself to become a grand duke.
A grand duke is different from a king. When a grand duke ascends the throne, he only needs to prepare a scepter as a symbol of power, while a king needs a crown and a scepter. There is a difference between the two.
All these piled up were failures. What Allen wanted was a blue-gold dragon-shaped scepter, with a soaring blue-gold flying dragon on top of the scepter. The shape of the dragon was naturally based on Bahamut.
.
It's a pity that the dragon pattern is easy to cast, but the statue of the flying dragon above is a bit difficult. Every time it is either fat here or narrow there, it is difficult to grasp the scale.
To be honest, Allen originally wanted to use red gold as the material, but unfortunately elemental metals are extremely precious. If he hadn't accidentally obtained some blue gold ore on Black Orchid Island, there would be no blue gold now.
However, even if Allen finally casts this scepter perfectly, it is actually just a fake and not an extraordinary weapon like other principality scepters. The reason is that no runes were added during the casting process.
Allen didn't care. He only cast it to support the scene. He didn't really want to use it to fight the enemy. He already had the Red Dragon Spear, so he didn't lack anything to fight the enemy.
Thinking about it, Allen raised the fierce flames again, entangled the pile of blue and gold scepters, rolled them up in the air and burned them. Orange flames flashed in the air, burning the blue and gold scepters.
Blue and red color.
Gradually, a blue-gold scepter began to melt, and drops of blue metal liquid dropped. Each one shone with a dazzling blue light that was not as bright as the light of the flame. During the falling process, these blue metal droplets were rolled up by the flames and hung in the air.
In the air, a blue liquid ball forms.
As the blue-gold scepter melts more, the volume of the blue liquid ball becomes larger and larger. When the scepter melts completely, the blue liquid ball wrapped in flames becomes larger than a basketball.
Allen waved his right hand, and under the tug of wisps of flames, traces of molten metal were slowly drawn out, forming a blue liquid ball larger than a fist outside the large blue liquid ball, and then the blue liquid
Under the pressure of the external flames, the ball began to change shape, stretch and converge, forming a prototype of a flying dragon scepter with a vague torso.
A crimson carving knife made of solidified flames flew over. Allen held it in his hand, and with a move of his right hand, the rudimentary scepter came closer. Allen began to carve it carefully. This step was very quick.
The key is that Allen must make no mistake in one step, otherwise once the blue metal liquid solidifies, once something goes wrong, it will not be corrected.
Allen concentrated on staring at the handle of the scepter in front of him, carefully carving the patterns on the handle. The half-meter-long cylindrical handle needed to be carved with at least three graceful and different dragon patterns, and the entire handle needed to be carved.
The handle is full of lines.
Allen was familiar with this step, and it didn't take long to complete it. Next came the most important, critical and error-prone step, carving the flying dragon statue above the scepter.
Allen meditated on Bahamut's flying posture in his mind, carefully sculpting it from feet to head.
