Chapter 116: Chapter 103: Unicorn Tier 3, Territory Development (2)

During this year, the resources he provided were considerable.

Even so, the improvement in strength was not very apparent.

To increase it, unless he invested more, he would have to gain from external sources.

For instance, finding another top genius like Reine would be like daydreaming.

Apart from that, the only way was to continue getting support from his father.

As he became a baron, his father would undoubtedly continue his support, without a doubt.

He had initially planned to return to his family upon becoming a baron.

However, the unrest in the Northern Province made it impossible for him to leave and return.

As for writing a letter, after a moment of consideration, he decided against it. After all, becoming a baron required a return trip, so there was no need to go the extra mile.

He just needed to wait for the Northern Province to stabilize a bit before taking action.

He moved forward, inspecting the northern small towns.

After arranging some issues, he then returned to the Eagle Territory.

At the moment, there were still some matters needing attention in the Eagle Territory.

While Thor was handling affairs, a figure excitedly ran over.

"Sir, sir!"

"Nia has advanced!"

Allen’s voice was filled with excitement.

Thor immediately raised his head, initially stunned, then realizing, a trace of joy appeared inevitably on his face.

Nia was the name of the unicorn leader.

Previously, as it was on the verge of advancement, Thor did not bring it during the clearing.

Unexpectedly,

The unicorn leader actually advanced.

"Let’s go!"

"Take me there!"

Thor couldn’t help but speak.

"Yes, sir!"

Allen quickly responded, leading Thor to the stables.

A moment later,

Thor reached the destination.

At a glance, he saw the distinctly different unicorn.

Compared to before, Nia’s form not only enlarged, but the gray horn was turning silver-white, and there was a gust swirling around its body.

"Tier Three!"

Seeing this scene, Thor couldn’t help but feel excited.

The change in the unicorn made it clear that it had transformed into Tier Three, with its bloodline evolved once again.

If it could reach Tier Four, the unicorn’s body would turn entirely white, with wings growing from its sides.

Of course, that would be the purest unicorn.

The unicorn before him did not have such pure blood, and without surprise, Tier Three was likely its limit.

Even reaching Tier Three was due to Allen’s gift of Affinity for All Things; otherwise, it would only be Tier Two.

The unicorn saw Thor’s arrival and quickly came forward, affectionately rubbing against him.

During this time, Thor had established a deep bond with it.

Besides Allen, Thor was the closest to it.

"Buzz!"

While rubbing, a ripple spread, and a magic array appeared on the unicorn.

Thor felt a movement in his heart.

Then he understood what was happening.

His expression was a bit surprised, but after the surprise, it was joy. Without hesitation, he wove his spiritual power together.

"Buzz!"

A magic array lit up beneath his feet as well.

Two magic arrays intertwined.

In the unseen world, a contract was formed.

This was a Pet Beast Contract formed willingly by the demon beast.

Though not as profound as a Life Sharing Contract, after this contract was formed, human and demon beast could still achieve a mutual understanding of thoughts.

At this moment, Thor could clearly feel Nia’s joyful mood.

"Wonderful!"

"From today onwards, I will order for you to join the Eagle Cub Knight Order, looking forward to the day you become an Official Knight."

Thor gently stroked Nia, who contentedly closed its eyes.

His words then cheerfully addressed Allen.

"Thank you, sir!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Allen’s eyes shone brightly with excitement.

Thor nodded with a smile.

After offering more encouragement,

he then mounted Nia in one swift motion.

With a thought,

Nia’s feet suddenly spurred a cyclone, gathering wind elements.

In the blink of an eye, its figure transformed into a whirlwind, disappearing from sight.

Fast.

Inconceivably fast.

Thor had never imagined such speed.

The speed of the Tier Three unicorn was simply breathtaking.

Thor could easily assert that this speed surpassed most Earth Knights.

Except for not being able to fly, even some Tier Four Beastmen might not catch up, only the Sky Knights might be able to match this terrifying speed.

The sensation of galloping was intoxicating.

Thor rode Nia around the territory for quite a while before gradually stopping.

"From now on, we are partners!"

Thor spoke softly, fondly stroking Nia’s horn, his smile growing wider.

As night fell,

Thor finally returned Nia to the stables,

then headed back to the castle to continue handling some matters.

He planned to visit Loren City the next day.

But there was still plenty to deal with; he needed to organize everything before setting out.

Night gradually passed.

A new day arrived.

Early in the morning, the territory was bustling with activity.

A vast amount of materials were gathered.

This clearance had been fruitful.

Some items had already been sold through Rajos’ trade routes.

But much was kept in reserve.

These items were hard to sell, so the only choice was to take them to Loren City to sell to the Habbs Commerce Association.

And not just his; other five lords also had plenty.

Including the need to buy more slaves from the Habbs Commerce Association, as well as some scarce resources for territory construction.

These all needed to be addressed.

Thor planned to take everything to Loren City and handle it all at once.

However, there was simply too much material.

In the end, it took over fifty carts to barely load it all.

Due to clearing and loading, the time reached evening.

Nonetheless, Thor did not delay and set out as planned.

This time, he brought not only fifty carts but also a sizable part of the Knight Order.

The group included Reine, the newly advanced Great Knight, along with over twenty Official Knights, more than fifty Apprentice Knights, and over a hundred Preparatory Knights.

Nearly hundreds of people.

Comparable to when he first traveled from Loren City to the territory.

Initially, he hadn’t planned on bringing so many, but due to daily intelligence reports,

he expected to encounter several Beastman Tribes, so he had to be prepared.

Seven days flew by.

Thor led the group to Loren City.

As predicted in the daily reports, they faced two assaults by Beastman Tribes.

Fortunately, with the strength Thor brought,

these two Beastman Tribes were swiftly dealt with, even yielding three Tier Two Beastmen corpses, enough to earn thirty merit points, besides resources worth nearly a hundred gold coins.

The sunset cast its glow.

The vast Loren City loomed in the distance,

spurring the group to quicken their steps.

Finally, before nightfall, they entered Loren City.
