Starting Life as a Baron

Chapter 30: The Earls Shock!

"Look who's here! My dear brother, why did you come back? What difficulties did you encounter?"

Alan saw Elon's figure as soon as he entered the Thorn Flower Castle.

Elon asked curiously.

When Alan saw Elon, a gleam of light flashed through his eyes. "My dear brother, you are one of the reasons why I came back this time."

Elon was slightly stunned when he heard this. "What do you mean?"

Alan took out a pea from his pocket. He had picked it from the magic pea field before he left.

"Look, what is this?"

Alan handed the magic pea to Elon.

Suddenly, Elon shuddered.

"A magic pea?! Wait! You're not telling me that you've discovered another spirit of nature, are you?!"

A trace of disbelief flashed across Elon's eyes.

"That's right, my dear older brother. I don't know why, but I inadvertently discovered another spirit of nature. Do you think we should continue our trade? By the way, another batch of magic roses has grown……"

Alan talked to Elon with great interest.

At this moment, Elon was completely dumbfounded. There was only one thought in his mind.

Third nature spirit, the third one!

No matter how elegant he was, at this moment, jealousy rose in his heart.

From childhood to adulthood, he had always been the focus of everyone’s attention. Everyone would try to please him. He always had the best thing in the Earl's territory.

On the other hand, Alan was just a good-for-nothing. He was only qualified to have things that he did not want.

But now, this brother whom he looked down on had discovered three spirits of nature in just a month or two.

Three spirits of nature!

One spirit of nature could bring Alan around sixty thousand gold coins a year. How much profit could three bring?

Close to two hundred thousand!

Thinking of this number, Elon couldn't help but want to go crazy.

This was two or three times more than the total annual income of his most fertile and rich territory.

The crux of the matter was that his territory was not only richer than Alan's, but it was also three times larger than Alan’s territory.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Alan was just lucky.

At the same time, a hint of greed appeared inside his heart.

He wanted Alan's territory.

Just as he was lost in thought, Alan's voice rang out once again, "Hey, do you want to buy it or not? If you are not going to buy them, I'll find someone else."

Alan sounded a little impatient.

Elon frowned slightly. Then he checked the peas, nodded, and said, "It is what I need. Is the old price good?"

"Yes!"

Within a few words, the two men hammered out a big deal straight away.

"Alright, now I only have to do one more thing. I need to see my father."

After Alan finished his business, he immediately asked about the Earl’s whereabouts.

"Father is in the study. You should know that he likes to stay in study. You'd better wait for him to come out because he doesn't like people disturbing his reading."

Elon shrugged his shoulders and said.

Alan scowled. Wait? He didn’t want to waste his time at all.

He didn't answer Elon. Instead, he directly led his men into the depths of the castle.

When they reached the five-story-tall castle in the center, Alan told his men to wait at the door while he headed for the castle alone.

Since he was very familiar with this castle, he quickly reached the door of the Earl's study and knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

A calm but stern voice sounded.

Alan pushed the door open and entered.

"Father!"

There was a middle-aged man with a huge body, long blond hair, thick eyebrows, and large eyes in front of Alan. At this moment, the Earl was staring at Alan and his eyes were filled with surprise and anger.

"You should know not to disturb me while I am reading."

Earl Albert's tone contained some anger.

Alan smiled. He did not care about the Lord Earl's anger at all.

He even walked to another chair in the study and sat down.

"You also said that, except for special things."

Alan said with a smile.

"What's up?"

Albert slightly frowned. He felt that his son seemed to have changed and become a little…… more confident.

"It's about the Blue Moon Principality."

Alan told him the story of Rex's sneak attack on Rose Town.

"What? You blocked three hundred people?"

Albert was very surprised when he heard this. He had already learned from Elon that Alan had picked up two spirits of nature and began to train some warriors of his own.

But he never expected that Alan would be able to lead his men to hold off three hundred enemies.

This was simply unbelievable. Since it was a noble of the Blue Moon Principality who had ambushed them, then those pirates were definitely trained warriors.

Their strength should not be underestimated.

Three hundred trained warriors were enough to put a small town in crisis.

Not to mention the fact that Rose Town was just a small town.

"Yes, Lord Father."

Alan spoke in an indifferent tone, "Although father gave me a barren land, this doesn't mean that I don't have the strength to resist the enemy."

"How many people do you have?"

Albert was a little shocked, so he stared at Alan's face and asked.

"I have a total of seventy warriors and twenty of them were given to me by you."

Alan told the truth.

"Impossible! Seventy against three hundred? How is it possible?"

Albert immediately refuted.

"Oh, Lord Father, why not?"

Alan replied with a question, and at the same time, a strong battle Qi erupted from his body, "A mere three hundred people are nothing in front of me."
