Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence-Chapter 294 - 192: Unexpected Intelligence Gain (2)
"It seems, I’m really getting old!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Brian snapped out of his shock, gave Thor a deep look, and then couldn’t help but sigh, shaking his head as he walked to the side.
As he watched Brian walk away, Thor pondered for a moment and then approached Walt, who had been killed by Reine not far away.
He crouched down and began to search.
Soon, Thor felt a hard object on Walt’s chest, and without hesitation, he took it out.
It was an unusual metal pocket watch.
When he first entered the Northern Defense Line, a piece of information he received daily was about this pocket watch.
It was said that Viscount Mohan from the Royal Capital unexpectedly acquired a pocket watch containing an unknown secret.
Thor had originally planned to investigate to see if he could obtain the pocket watch.
After all, the daily briefings mentioned it—it might really be something important. However, the subsequent battles, the Divine Ruins, the Holy Sanctuary, and other changes left him no time to pursue it.
Unexpectedly, this pocket watch came up again in the daily briefings a few days ago.
But unlike before, it was no longer in the hands of Viscount Mohan in the Royal Capital; it had been passed to Walt.
Moreover, Walt was carrying this pocket watch to ambush him.
Faced with someone wanting to make a move, especially with a "treasure," the choice was obvious.
Thor inspected the pocket watch but didn’t notice anything unusual about it.
Clearly, like the Silver Moon Breathing Technique before, it required a specific environment to detect its anomalies.
Thor pondered briefly but didn’t investigate further, instead tucking it away in his lapel.
With the daily intelligence system in place, Thor was confident that even if he couldn’t figure it out, a result was destined—there was no need to rush to understand it right away.
After checking Walt again, Thor searched him once more.
Unfortunately, this time was different from the last. Last time, after defeating Stein Campbell, there was a substantial gain because Stein Campbell had just retreated from his territory, naturally carrying a lot of Gold Coins.
This time, Walt and Sedge had only come to the Divine Ruins, so they obviously couldn’t bring many Gold Coins.
Thor searched for a while, but only found a dozen silver cards, worth just over a thousand Gold Coins.
Meanwhile, Steve and Pelos, after clearing the battlefield, didn’t gain much either.
In total, the Gold Coins added up to less than three thousand.
Three thousand Gold Coins were nothing to Thor at this point.
But fortunately, this move wasn’t originally for Gold Coins, and three thousand Gold Coins weren’t too little either.
Thor had actually planned to give Brian half of the Gold Coins.
But Brian firmly refused, and Thor had to give up.
Then they quickly began to clear the battlefield.
Bodies were doused with bramble juice.
As the group set off, scarlet eyes appeared in the forest, and many Demon Beasts gathered.
Today, they undoubtedly would have a feast.
And nobody knew that two powerful knight orders of noble descendants disappeared silently within the Northern Defense Line.
This time, many powerful noble descendants fell at the Northern Defense Line.
Adding two more didn’t seem that extraordinary.
Of course, if someone wanted to investigate, they could find some clues.
But Thor didn’t care about that.
Whether it was Walt’s backer or the Spencer Family behind Sedge Spencer, he wasn’t particularly worried at the moment.
Just two Marquis Families.
At present, his father had broken through to become a Sky Knight, and Neil Morton was also a Sky Knight.
Plus himself and Reine, although they couldn’t match a Sky Knight, it was almost impossible for a Sky Knight to eliminate him.
Under such circumstances, there was little for him to worry about now.
Especially considering that as he returned to the Northern Province and word spread of the Divine Ruins’ non-arrival, the return of the various strong noble descendants was inevitable, and conflicts were virtually unavoidable due to previous events.
Thus, there was even less to worry about.
The cold moonlight gradually spilled down.
Time moved on slowly.
After dealing with Walt and Sedge Spencer, the journey ahead was undoubtedly much smoother.
Although they encountered some Demon Beasts along the way,
they were easy to handle.
Reine, without even needing Thor’s intervention, had already dealt with them.
In such circumstances,
ten days passed swiftly.
The group finally returned to the Eagle Territory.
By now, it had been nearly a month since they left.
The entire Eagle Territory had also undergone significant changes.
Fields were dotted with golden wheat.
The opening of the Eagle River turned the surroundings into farmland,
and with Ivira’s improved seeds, each ear of wheat was full of grains, promising a bountiful harvest this year.
The fields were filled with smiling, busy figures.
"Thor, is this your territory?"
Seeing this scene, Brian couldn’t help but be stunned.
"Brother Brian, this is indeed my territory."
Thor nodded with a smile.
"This!"
Listening to Thor’s confirmation, Brian couldn’t help but gape, momentarily speechless.
Thor could naturally understand his shock.
Anyone entering Eagle Territory would be astonished.
Because the entire development of Eagle Territory to this point had been less than two years, its scale was unimaginable.
Thor, with a light smile, led Brian into what was now Eagle Town.
No, perhaps it could no longer be called a town.
Compared to its previous size, Eagle Town had now expanded almost threefold, and was still rapidly expanding.
Everywhere were busy slaves and goblins moving with heavy shackles.
The population of Eagle Town had also increased several times since his departure.
In previous actions, they had captured many slaves from various Lords, significantly enriching Thor’s assets.
Although only a portion remained in Eagle Town, it still caused its population to surge.
This once again overwhelmed Brian, visiting for the first time.
The group returned to the castle.
It was still early, so Thor first had Brian’s accommodations arranged.
Then he summoned Joseph.
He needed to understand the current state of Eagle Territory after being gone for nearly a month.
He also wanted to know if his father’s support had arrived.
Joseph hurried back soon after.
In the study.
Thor quietly perused the affairs of Eagle Territory during this time, while Joseph stood beside him, anxious and nervous, not daring to make a sound.
It was his first time as Chief Civil Servant, and this month Thor had been entirely absent.
He could make decisions on many matters, but now that his performance was being reviewed, he couldn’t help but feel nervous.
"Rustle!"
The sound of paper being turned, as if beating in sync with Joseph’s heart,
his breath held involuntarily.
No one knew how long it lasted, or how long it continued.
Finally, Thor’s turning movements slowly stopped, his thoughts drifted slightly, and his right hand adeptly tapped on the desk.
