Chapter 6: Junior Knights
Alan added ten fire elemental crystals to the potion that had been prepared with other materials beforehand.
As the hedrons fused into the green liquid one by one, the entire liquid turned red, emitting high heat all the time, burning Allen's face.
From the spar that cannot be absorbed by the Flame Wheat to the one that contains the Fire Elemental Liquid, it can be seen that the Flame Wheat can absorb the elemental liquid.
After the flame wheat came back from transplanting, it didn't grow much, only two blood-red leaves, which grew in a circle.
After digging four small earth pits around the Flame Mai, Alan poured the fire elemental solution in his hand into each of the four pits.
The rich fire element gave the flame wheat a great stimulus, and many roots rooted in the soil began to dig into the four small pits.
In just a few breaths, the flame wheat rose to a height of one meter, and quickly grew more than a dozen crimson leaves, and the fire element contained in the leaves flourished, circling slowly around the leaves, and it looked like a big torch from a distance.
The liquid in the pit gradually disappeared, and the roots of the Flame Wheat retracted into the soil, and three ears of wheat were drawn from the top of the Flame Wheat to mark the maturity of the Flame Wheat .
As the flame wheat matured, Allen's body was also undergoing a metamorphosis.
The fire element slowly passed into Allen's body from the flame wheat, and the power of the fire element passed through all parts of Allen's body like a stream of water, from the inside out, from strengthening the bones to the flesh and skin.
Alan estimates that his current pure physical strength far exceeds the limit of the human body by 200 kilograms, which also marks that Alan has broken through to a low-level knight and become a veritable baron of the wilderness.
However, as Eren controlled the flow of elements in his body, Eren discovered that the power of the fire element could be attached to his body.
This discovery surprised Allen, knowing that only mid-level knights can control elemental attachments to body surfaces and weapons, which indicates that Allen can send out the combat power of mid-level knights.
Alan doesn't know if he is an opponent of a mid-level knight, but he can believe that he is invincible at the low-level knight stage.
Moreover, he has not yet reached the limit strength of a low-level knight of five hundred kilograms, but he already has the ability to attach elements.
Middle-level knights can reach a maximum of 1,000 kilograms of strength on the basis of their attachment ability, and large horses weigh about 1,000 kilograms.
Looking at the flame wheat emitting a temperature that was getting higher and higher, Alan could vaguely sense that there was a life in his body that was being born, it was the elemental plant spirit of the flame wheat, and it was not a few days before he was born.
However, Eren found that the newborn Mai Ling might not be very intelligent, and when Eren tried to communicate with him, he only received some "babble! Alan had no choice but to give up.

At this time, in the castle of Ironstone Town, the Baron of Ironstone, Curit, the baron of Ironstone, was leaning on a chaise longue covered with golden deerskin, listening to the report of his subordinate Ji'an.
"You're saying that the kid named Alan really isn't dead?"
Curit's anger surged, his chubby body trembled unconsciously, a pair of snake eyes were eerie and terrifying, and the sarcoma at the tip of his nose was full of blood tendons, making the whole person even more vicious.
Jian didn't dare to hide it, and told Curit the information sent by the spies one by one.
"Are you sure that kid didn't find out we did it?"
"I'm sure, Lord Baron, the poisoner has been killed by us in advance. "Ji'an Road.
"Your Excellency...... I doubt the authenticity of the information about the existence of iron ore in the village of Qinghuang Ling. ”
"If there is really an iron mine in the Green Wilderness Territory, it is impossible for the Charles family not to know anything about it for 30 years, and if we are discovered by the Baron of the Green Wilderness, there may be a conflict. ”
Three months ago, Baron Curit received news that some villagers had picked up some iron ore near the border, and Curit sent people to investigate and found that there was a hematite near Liyu Village, but it was not easy to find it in geographical concealment.
"These are not within the scope of your duties, you don't need to know, go and keep an eye on Qinghuang Castle for me. Let's go down!" Currit stared coldly at Ji'andao. The little kid who wasn't even a knight didn't pay attention to himself, Curritt thought.
"Yes. ”
Liyu Village is located on the border of the Qinghuang Territory and the Iron Stone Territory, and is the village with the most lakes in the Qinghuang Barony, which is the size of a county on the earth.
Fishing is the main business of the villagers here, supplemented by farming.
——
At this time, Eren had gradually adapted to the power of the low-level knights, feeling the faint fire element flowing in his body.
Today's lunch at noon is still Ellen's favorite veal, roast stone chicken.
"Butler, how is the matter?" said Allen, as he shoved a piece of beef into his mouth.
"Young Master, things have progressed, since there are usually very few people from outside Qinghuang Town, the strangers who have lived in the town have been locked in the past few months, but it will take time to tell the difference. The butler standing next to him said.
In the past few days, Alan is still secretly looking for the mastermind behind the persecution of him, and because there are too few people who are good at this, there is no news until now.
"Keep an eye on them, arrest them when the time comes, and be careful not to let anyone go. ”
"Yes, young master. ”
"Young Master, I'm about to go to the Finance Department to take up a post, I'm afraid I can't stay by your side all the time and obey orders, please find a few knight squires as soon as possible!" the butler reminded.
Only then did Alan remember that the butler was not around, and it was inconvenient to do anything, so he really had to find a few people to be dispatched.
"Butler, this task is handed over to you, if there is a suitable person who can recommend, by the way, tell those village chiefs about this, if there is a suitable one, you can recommend. ”
Alan still attaches great importance to the knight squire in the butler's mouth.
As the name suggests, the knight's squire will accompany the knight to listen to the dispatch, and will be Allen's team in the future.
As far as Alan knew, Antonio was the old baron's knightly squire.
The old baron had three knightly attendants, but the other two, one died in battle, and the other did not stay in the Qinghuang Territory for his own reasons.
......
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, in the middle of May, the news of the baron's recruitment of knightly squires has spread throughout the barony, and even people in other realms want to try their luck.
It's a pity that Allen's first few conditions brushed off a large number of people.
The first condition is the need for literacy, and in this world, apart from the aristocracy, only middle- and upper-class families are often able to learn literacy.
The world speaks a language called "Scarlet Language", which happens to have the same name as the mainland, and it is also the lingua franca of the continent, but there are slight differences in each place.
The second condition is that you must have lived in the territory for more than 10 years to be eligible.
The third is that the strength must reach more than a hundred kilograms.
In the end, only 23 people were selected, but Allen planned to select only 5 people, and the 18 who were not selected will be recruited into the Knight squad in advance. In this way, the cavalry of the territory will reach 68 people.
In the castle, Alan met with his five knight squires, among whom three strong men with black beards looked very similar, and they were three brothers.
They were recommended by Antonio, and looking at the beards on the faces of these three people, it goes without saying that they are all Antonio's sons.
They are Barton, Barry, Bard. The strength of the three of them is about to reach the limit of the human body.
A shy young man with a big red nose is called Cooley, and his strength is just over 100 kilograms, but he is very good at calculating accounts, and Alan deliberately left him. The village chief of Shangmai Village was very optimistic, so he specially recommended him.
The last man is named Andy, the son of Lear, the captain of the Barony Caravan.
However, he was not interested in his father's caravan management, but he was very interested in military affairs, so he ran for the Baron's squire. Allen saw that he had some insights into military affairs, so he simply left him.
