Richard sprayed the magic potion on the Duke's left shoulder, then whispered a spell to activate the plug-in part of the build, carefully laying the build over the Duke's left shoulder. As soon as the construct touched the Duke's skin, it immediately made an ablative snort, and then its underlying inserts completely dissolved and penetrated into the Duke's skin. Half a minute later, the magic circle was built as if it had grown on the duke's left shoulder, but the complexion was different from the rest of his body.

With a wave of his hand, Quicksand applied a healing minor injury to the Duke, eliminating the pain caused by the implantation of the structure. In fact, this pain is nothing to any professional, Quicksand just wants the Duke to see that he is performing magic skills.

The Duke moved his body and did not feel any discomfort, and the feeling of surging power surprised him. He put on his robe and said, "Let's go to the practice ground and test the power of this thing!"

Soon, the duke's personal soldiers erected three human-shaped targets on the training ground, on which were set with chain mail, plate armor and thickened plate armor. The latter is designed to simulate the defensive power of magical armor. The Duke's weapon is a normal two-handed axe with no magic effects attached to it, and the material of the axe is also ordinary steel.

The two-handed giant axe was casually lifted by the duke with one hand, as light as a piece of leather paper. Without hesitation, the Duke strode forward, and in a flash of axe light, he had already slashed the humanoid target with chain mail and plate armor in the center! He walked to the thickened plate armor again, took a deep breath, and did not bless any fighting energy on the giant axe, but just swung the giant axe with pure strength and slashed at the plate armor!

A deep crack immediately appeared on the thickened plate armor, and the humanoid target made of hardwood was shattered in an instant, and the thickened plate armor was completely twisted and deformed, turning into a pile of scrap iron, but it was not cut into two pieces. The giant axe in the duke's hand was completely curled, the axe surface was visibly distorted, and the handle of the axe, which was made of stainless steel, was even more untwisted. This ordinary two-handed giant axe could no longer bear the huge power of the duke, and it was completely scrapped.

Feeling the tremendous power of the moment just now, the Duke casually threw the giant axe to the ground, and then laughed and said, "Okay! Very good! Now I want to see what the old thing of Grand Duke Baiyan can rely on to resist my battle axe!"

The atmosphere of the dinner was very warm, and everyone felt the delight of the duke.

The duke at the table talked and laughed loudly, constantly describing the prospect of marching straight ahead and smashing the enemy's lair, and the powerful gestures and vigorous and powerful voice made even Richard's blood boil. At the dinner, Richard saw another side of Duke Greywolf as a speaker and agitator.

The dinner was bigger than expected, with the Duke's adult sons, the chief mage, the chief administrator and the treasurer, as well as a noble marquis of the court who had no corresponding territory, and several generals who commanded the legions. It can be said that all the leaders of Deep Rock City are here.

It's just that in the face of such a warm atmosphere, Richard is a little confused about how much of the duke's joy comes from the construction and how much comes from Perrin's hope.

It wasn't until late in the evening that the dinner ended. Soon after Richard returned to his room, the Duke's butler knocked on the door and instructed two servants to bring in a suitcase with a demonic effect, saying that it was a gift from the Duke to Richard, and then withdrew.

Richard then opened the suitcase and found it divided into dozens of compartments, each containing a magical ingredient and a note indicating the material's name, purpose, origin, and reference price. Several of the compartments are empty, and there are only instructions inside. Richard picked up the paper and looked at it, the reason why these materials did not have samples attached was probably too valuable, and the transaction was denominated in grams.

The significance of this box of samples was more important to Richard than a single box of magical materials. Collecting and sorting out the property resources of the plane was originally one of the most important things for Richard at the moment, and it determined which ways to enhance the benefits after the passage of the two planes was opened in the future.

This is essential for the development of dimensional conquest and development strategies. Heijin once used two real-life examples as a contrast to vividly illustrate that even if two very similar planes are, the difference between good management and poor management can be more than ten times. And this box of samples sent by the Duke directly completed most of Richard's work.

For the next few days, Richard's time was spent almost exclusively on the various officials in the dukedom.

The actual conferral of knighthood is completely different from that of a pioneer knight with only an empty piece of paper, and a series of tasks such as confirming the boundaries of the territory, reporting to the royal house of the kingdom, and confirming the emblem symbol are extremely tedious and complicated.

Cass has become a capable assistant, although he is a little incompetent from a family, but the basic quality of the children of the nobility is still there, and the sorting out of documents, especially the preparation of zuò format texts, is done well.

After the success of the dinner, Marven, whom Richard had not seen since entering Deep Rock City, also appeared, and according to him, he had been living in a post house under the Duke's name, and was treated with the same standard as any official envoy of the Duke's vassal. However, everyone knows that if Richard can't form an alliance with Duke Shun, Marven may never have the opportunity to show up.

With the effectiveness of Marvin and Cass, the children of two aristocratic families, although the work of Yiqiē was tedious, it was still carried out in an orderly manner.

What made Richard most uncomfortable was having to report a complete family lineage. In the eyes of high society, a family without history is inconceivable. Marven had previously inherited the title of an extinct aristocratic family to Richard, and Richard hesitated for a long time with the entire genealogy of that family, but still filled in the surname Akmund.

The rest of the work would be taken over by Marvin and Cass, who would subtly add such a line of side branches to the history of that noble family, and the officials appointed by the Duke would have understood this small difference.

The trivial formalities were not completed until a week later, and the troops that Richard had sent to his territory in advance had already received news that all the villagers in the original village of Bran had been killed and turned into a dead village. Getting the news, Richard sighed, I see, that's why Sinclair appeared in Dusk Castle.

For the territory to develop, the people are necessary.

The territory given to Richard by the Duke was abundant, but on the surface it appeared to be mostly forests, mountains, and vast grasslands. Due to the border with the Land of Turmoil and the Land of Blood, it is often raided by all kinds of strange monsters and horse bandits, so this land is sparsely populated. If there are only three or five villages in a large area, the combined population is only about 2,000 people.

Farming, mining, road repairs, castles, weapons and tools, and even the construction of the Altar of the Dragon of Eternity and Time all require large populations. As for the army, on the contrary, it was the least thing that Richard, who owned the brood, was worried about. Now Richard still has more than 100 desert cavalry, more than 30 barbarian warriors, and less than 20 human surrenders. Sandru's Black Samurai also had only four left. The worst thing was that the Infantry Knights were finally lost, which also meant that Richard lost the most reliable group of middle and lower-ranking officers.
