"On the same day, Allen asked Lucy to produce some top magical plants and send them directly to Nick's hut.
To advance in the potionist profession, you need to meet three conditions. The first condition is that a potionist must have a certain level of knowledge and be able to flexibly use various magical plants to prepare potions with different effects. This requirement varies for different levels.
Just as the primary potion only needs two kinds of magical plants to mix, a primary potionist needs to master the skills to mix and combine two kinds of potions at will. However, at the intermediate level, it requires at least three or even four magical plants to match. Don't be fooled by the fact that it's only one or two more raw materials; the changes and combinations are dozens or even a hundred times more complex.
The second condition is having sufficient mental power. The preparation of potions requires nuanced insight, which relies on strong mental power.
The third condition is occupational skills. With the first two conditions as the foundation, the third condition can be completed. The first two conditions can be completely solved just by reading books and meditating, but the last problem is a costly endeavor. To improve their skills, potionists need to spend a lot of magical plants on practice. This is equivalent to burning money. Of course, the higher the level of magical plants, the more experience potionists can gain, but they can also improve their skill proficiency.
Allen directly took out the top magical plants this time, and coupled with the power of his professional bonus halo, he couldn't believe that Nick couldn't grow rapidly.
"This... Is this a top magical plant?" Nick was stunned after seeing the various magical plants that Allen brought. He had never seen such powerful magical plants in his life, not even in the palace of Grand Duke Ryan. Nick even suspected that there was no palace in any kingdom stronger than the duchy!
"Sir... Are you?" Nick swallowed his saliva, feeling a burst of heat all over his body. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked Alan.
"It's just something for you to practice, Nick. Remember, follow me, and I can give you something beyond your imagination." Allen looked indifferent. "What you need to do now is to wholeheartedly advance to the Advanced Potions Master. Remember, the sooner, the better. After you become an Advanced Potions Master, come to me."
Nick was immediately excited when he heard those words. Originally, he thought it was extremely extravagant to be able to create potions with magical plants cultivated by fairies. But now, Allen was actually asking him to use top-level magical plants. The sudden happiness almost made Nick cry with excitement.
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! I will do my best to advance!" Nick spoke quickly, and Allen nodded. "After using this batch, come and ask me for more until you become a senior potionist. In addition, you need to use the magical plants to prepare some potions for my knights."
After Allen finished speaking, he left directly. He had given Nick the greatest support, and he didn't need the dragon potion right now. After all, his territory had just begun to be established, and it would take some time to complete the construction. They would need to train warriors and knights, and only after having enough troops could they use dragon potions.
After leaving Nick's hut, Alan wasn't idle either. Not long ago, people from the Roland Chamber of Commerce had shipped a large number of slaves to various principalities. Allen had purchased these slaves with a large amount of gold coins, and Sparrow had carefully selected them. Almost all of them were young, strong men, and young women.
The Sirius Territory needed a large number of civilians to cultivate crops and maintain the operation of the territory. Allen's daily routine involved visiting the newly built towns one by one. Although the main city was still under construction, this didn't prevent the development of other towns or small towns. Allen used all the previous primary building accelerator cards to establish small towns in sparsely populated areas throughout Sirius. During this time, the small towns were almost completed, and a large number of slaves sent from other countries had begun to adapt to life here.
"Lord Allen, you're here!" Allen had been inspecting every day for the past few days, providing materials, crops, and agricultural tools to appease the hearts of these former slaves and gain their recognition and goodwill.
"Well, Neil, how have you been recently?" Allen asked gently. In front of him stood a middle-aged man in coarse clothes. Neil was a citizen of another principality who had become a slave due to war. He thought he might never have a normal life again, but then he met Allen.
Allen, the lord, was the best lord Neil had ever seen. He not only gave them fertile land but also helped them through the most difficult beginning stage. Allen provided them with clothes, houses, food, crop seeds, and tools, even though he mentioned that these were loans that they would repay with taxes later. However, the taxes were only 70% of the crops, compared to 90% in their former hometown. After a year, it would reduce to 60%. Neil and many townspeople began to genuinely like and respect Allen.
"Sir, we are doing very well. Although we're not far from the Strangforth Mountains, there are no monsters here, and the land is very fertile. With hard work, we expect a bumper harvest this year!" Neil gave a hearty smile. Allen nodded, "Very good. If you need anything, you can go to the main city and ask for Marko."
"Yes, my lord, praise my lord. You are the most generous and kind lord I've ever met," Neil said, bowing to Allen.
Allen smiled and replied, "Because you are my people, and you are all my people." He said this to Neil and others nearby and continued to patrol the next town.
Soon after, the population of his territory exceeded 100,000, and more people would be arriving to supplement it. Allen believed that the population problem of Sirius Territory would soon be resolved. The only remaining challenge was the main city.
While he was thinking about this, within the Strangforth Mountains, a lot of trees and stones had been destroyed by the battle between the monsters. The Behemoth Behemoth's enormous power had caused significant damage to the mountains, creating giant pits and chaos throughout the mountain range.
As for Allen's Sirius Territory, it remained untouched by the monsters, thanks to the deterrence of the Behemoth Behemoth and the previous generation of monsters. However, the neighboring Steel Fist and the Shaker Principality had been facing hardships in recent days.
