Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence-Chapter 297 - 194: What? You Became an Earth Knight?
Stepping into the territory, scene after scene left Michael and Chesire even more astonished. The entire territory was vast yet orderly, and at this moment, it seemed not much inferior to Dressrosa Town.
Slaves, Free People, and Knights, all with broad smiles on their faces. Along the way, they had reached many territories in the Northern Province, but had never seen such a sight.
The two exchanged glances, their hearts somewhat stirred.
Of course, Thor didn’t care about these, and led everyone into the castle.
Then, a grand banquet commenced.
But when Michael saw Carter, he couldn’t help but be amazed once more. At this moment, Carter had already reached the level of a Great Knight.
A Great Knight at eighteen years old, even Michael was taken aback.
"My goddess, this is simply a miracle. Thor, how did you achieve this?"
Looking at Carter, Michael then turned to Thor, speaking with disbelief.
As someone primarily responsible for the Eagle Cub Knight Order, Carter’s talent was something he was clear about. Without Thor’s support and enough diligence, it would be impossible to condense the Life Seed and become an Apprentice Knight at eighteen.
But now, what did he see? Carter had already become a Great Knight at eighteen.
Such talent left even him deeply shocked.
He couldn’t begin to imagine how Thor accomplished this.
"Uncle Michael, it’s not how I did it, but rather that Carter is diligent enough and courageous enough."
Thor laughed lightly.
"This!"
Hearing Thor’s response, Michael instinctively opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Diligence, courage.
Alright, he admitted Carter had them.
But the practice of a knight requires much more than just these; in fact, these account for only a small part, with talent and opportunities being the majority.
Sufficient talent, even without much diligence, is enough to solve many problems.
"Uncle Michael, it’s really a trouble having you come to help this time."
"I offer you a toast!"
"And to Uncle Chesire as well!"
Thor said with a smile, raising his glass.
"Young Master Thor is too polite."
Michael, realizing it, quickly raised his glass, and Chesire did the same.
"Not at all!"
"From now on, the territory may still face many challenges."
Thor smiled, shaking his head.
Then he began to discuss matters with the two of them.
Compared to himself, the two had much more experience, especially Michael, as he was the right-hand man of his father, the leader of the Dressrosa Knight Order, and had experienced enough things.
Facing the upcoming situation, he undoubtedly had more ideas.
Thor naturally intended to make good use of this.
He wouldn’t be blindly arrogant.
"Are you saying that you currently have over eighty percent of the major mineral deposits in the West, and even the Danube River’s production under control?"
Listening to Thor’s words, Michael and Chesire couldn’t help but be stunned. Michael, while listening, even couldn’t help but stand up.
"Yes, perhaps even more. The Danube River’s production has probably exceeded eighty percent, and known major mines have likely reached over seventy-five percent. Except for a few remote lands that we haven’t interfered with, other places are basically under control."
Thor nodded. During this time, he further understood the whole situation. Compared to when he left, the range controlled by the Eagle Merchant Association had improved significantly.
Even though this month’s income hasn’t been calculated yet, it’s expected to inevitably be a terrifying figure.
"This!"
Hearing Thor’s affirmation, Michael and Chesire exchanged glances, both with a sense of shock in their eyes.
Although they had some understanding before coming.
But this understanding was merely that Thor had occupied some mines thanks to the departure of powerful noble descendants. How could they have thought that "some" had reached such a level?
The situation in the Northern Province was something they naturally understood, and they knew that the Northern Province’s essence was located in the Western Region.
Well then, now their very own Young Master Thor has swept up all the resources in the West.
They finally understood why Thor was asking for assistance.
Without seeking aid, Michael and Chesire believed their young master would likely be torn apart by those angry powerful noble descendants.
This was not just one or two families but who knows how many.
Most of them were descendants of families even stronger than the Dressrosa Family.
Within these were some with extremely renowned reputations even in Marquis Families.
After the shock, Michael and Chesire couldn’t help but fall into a slight contemplation. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Things were more complex than they had imagined, and even they had to reconsider.
Thor didn’t disturb them.
Instead, he waited patiently.
Until a moment later.
Michael slowly spoke.
"Young Master Thor, if there are no surprises, within this month or two, those powerful noble descendants are likely to return, and even with our current strength, we might not be able to stop them."
"May I take a look at the range currently controlled by the Eagle Merchant Association?"
With these words, Michael looked towards Thor.
"Of course!"
"Uncle Michael, Uncle Chesire, let’s go to the study."
Thor nodded with a smile.
