141 The dragon potion was successfully prepared, and the ninth-level knight was promoted

"After seeing the determined look in Allen's eyes, Nick realized that Allen wasn't joking. In other words, Allen really needed five hundred dragon potions per day. Heck! Nick began to feel overwhelmed.

The skills required to craft the top potion formula must be truly exceptional. It demands a significant amount of energy and is extremely challenging to create. Otherwise, there would be no reason to wait until he became a senior potionist for Allen to reveal this formula.

At his current level, if it were a basic potion, he could probably produce five to six hundred potions in a day, without stopping for food or rest. This number was twice what an intermediate potionist could achieve. But when it came to a dragon potion, a top-tier concoction, even two hundred in a day would be an insurmountable task.

'Sir… I…' Nick felt like crying, he had actually prepared to make five hundred potions a day at the cost of his life. Luckily, it turned out that Allen was just making a joke.

Nick let out a sigh of relief, as he had really been prepared to work himself to the bone for five hundred potions a day. Nonetheless, he understood the importance of dragon potions. He quickly got up and spoke, 'Sir, I will return to my studies on dragon potions right away. But, my lord, it says that dragon potions require special magical plants...'

Nick raised his concerns; if dragon potions needed unique magical plants, his hard work might be futile.

'No need to worry, I've taken care of these requirements. You can proceed as usual,' Allen reassured him. With all his nature spirits now having dragon-blood, this problem was easily solved.

'Alright, my lord. I shall get back to my research immediately,' Nick said.

'After the dragon potion is prepared, the fighting capacity of Sirius Land will reach a new level. Before chaos descends, I'll have the power to rival a Marquis,' Allen thought.

Nick quickly delved into his research on dragon potions and soon achieved results, preparing the first dragon potion. He presented it to Allen, who inspected it with curiosity. Although it was a potion that greatly improved the strength of warriors, it wasn't particularly useful for knights like him. However, Allen couldn't resist trying it himself. After drinking the potion, he sensed a minor change in his body, which had already been hardened by his vigorous practice. The dragon potion had enhanced his physique slightly.

'As expected of a top-level potion, it even had a small effect on me,' Allen said with satisfaction, glancing at Nick. 'Next, I need you to work diligently and prepare a batch of dragon potions as quickly as possible. The more, the better.'

Nick nodded and replied, 'Yes, my lord. I'll return to my work and aim to make 150 dragon potions per day. This is my limit.'

'Excellent. You have your orders,' Allen said, acknowledging his commitment.

Nick had to do his best to reach this challenging goal.

As Nick left, Allen asked about the progress of Thomas and the other old knights. They had been stuck at the Silver Knight rank for a long time, but with the right support, they were making progress towards achieving the rank of Golden Knights.

'My lord, Thomas and the others have made significant progress. After years of dedication and support from us, they have all reached the first level of Golden Knights. However, it may still take some time for them to fully reach that rank,' Nick reported.

'Very good. Continue with your work,' Allen replied.

In recent days, there hadn't been much happening. Allen was planning to take a relaxing bath and rest when a notification sounded in his mind, congratulating him for completing a side quest of building a small town. He was rewarded with 100,000 experience points and the opportunity to have three nature spirits born around ten small cities. Allen chose to have them born immediately.

The added experience points increased his total to 617,500 out of 500,000 required for the next level. Additionally, his magical talent was at level 5 with 27,000 out of 50,000 experience points. Even though his magic talent was considered poor, he had progressed rapidly, advancing from a rookie to a fifth-level magician in just a few months. This speed was impressive.

'Over 600,000 experience points already? I haven't been paying much attention to the system lately, but I'm making great progress,' Allen thought with a smile. He chose to use the experience points for an upgrade, feeling his strength increase as he advanced to the ninth level of a knight.

Now, Allen could truly compete with the Marquis in terms of strength. His knights and warriors were soon to follow suit as they benefited from the dragon potions he would soon receive. 'I'm getting closer to my goal.'
