Chapter 12: The First Step of the Pioneer Knight

Chapter 12: Chapter 12: The First Step of the Pioneer Knight

In a not-so-spacious creek, the entire section was completely diverted at this moment, and the eyes of the Official Knights were shining brightly.

Moments later.

A voice full of surprise rang out.

"My lord, we caught it!"

"It’s really a Thorny Butterfly Fish!"

With a voice of delight, Thor, who was originally resting, couldn’t help but stand up and stride over.

At this moment, in the creek, a Knight was holding a strange, light blue fish about the size of a palm.

"My lord, I caught one too!"

And as Thor approached, soon another Knight’s voice of delight sounded.

"My lord!"

"My lord!"

Voices echoed, and in just a moment, seven or eight Knights exclaimed in surprise.

But it was only these seven or eight. Only a few Thorny Butterfly Fish appeared in this creek.

Still, it was enough to make people rejoice.

These were Thorny Butterfly Fish, each of which could be auctioned for five thousand to ten thousand Gold Coins at the Kingdom’s top auctions. More importantly, it had a great effect, even if it slightly enhanced Knight Talent, it was a permanent enhancement.

Everyone watching the Thorny Butterfly Fish couldn’t help but feel their throats move.

And when they saw Thor’s gaze, there was only admiration.

They didn’t know how their Lord knew there were Thorny Butterfly Fish here.

They only knew that their Lord brought them here and told them that there were Thorny Butterfly Fish, and there really were.

It was their Lord’s first time to the Northern Province.

Thinking of this, they couldn’t help but feel astonished and full of longing.

Originally, everyone felt a bit uneasy about going to the Northern Province, but at this moment, that uneasiness quietly disappeared.

Of course, Thor did not pay any attention to these things at the moment, and with a wave of his hand, he had the Knights deal with the Thorny Butterfly Fish and was ready to eat.

He didn’t intend to keep the Thorny Butterfly Fish, but planned to distribute it.

On one hand, only the first Thorny Butterfly Fish was useful; on the other hand, upon entering the Northern Province, Thor could feel the unease among the Knights, and the Thorny Butterfly Fish’s appearance could undoubtedly ease this unease.

More importantly, these were his future foundation, as trustworthy Knights, there wasn’t much to say about giving benefits.

Although there were only seven pieces in total, divided among many, everyone could probably just taste it, but having it or not was completely different.

In fact, that was exactly the case.

When Thor decided to distribute the Thorny Butterfly Fish to them,

over four hundred Knights suddenly let out cheers.

If loyalty and morale could be seen at this moment, you could see the numbers rapidly increasing.

Although it couldn’t be seen, everyone could clearly feel the difference among the crowd.

Thor smiled as he tasted his share.

The Thorny Butterfly Fish’s meat was very soft, melting in the mouth, and as he swallowed it, Thor felt a warm current spreading through his body, and his mind was instantly filled with a cool sensation.

The Life Source Power within him uncontrollably expanded.

Thor dared not delay, quickly sitting cross-legged, operating the Knight’s Breathing Technique.

Time slowly passed.

About half an hour later, Thor’s eyes suddenly opened, his expression filled with surprise.

At this moment, his Life Seed had expanded once more, taking another step toward Mid-stage Apprentice Knight.

At the current pace, by the time he reached Loren City, he might break through to Mid-stage Apprentice Knight.

But before this joy could spread,

the next moment,

a surge of Life Source Power suddenly blossomed beside him.

Thor’s joy was abruptly cut off, and he looked to the side, his mouth twitching.

At this moment, Reine also opened his eyes, surrounded by green light, the sight of Life Source Power spreading.

And this indicated that Reine had officially broken through to Late-stage Apprentice Knight.

Yes, Late-stage Apprentice Knight.

Before setting off, with the help of an Intermediate Life Potion, he had broken through to Apprentice Knight, and on the tenth day of the journey, he reached Mid-stage Apprentice Knight from Early-stage Apprentice Knight. Now, in less than twenty days, he broke through again from Mid-stage Apprentice Knight to Late-stage Apprentice Knight.

At this speed, by the time Thor reached Mid-stage Apprentice Knight, Reine might have reached the Apprentice Knight Peak.

Such a cultivation speed left him speechless.

This is why comparing people can be fatal, comparing goods can make you discard them.

Taking a deep breath, Thor shook his head.

"My lord!"

At this moment, the just-broken-through Reine couldn’t help but show a touch of delight, and upon seeing Thor’s gaze, he quickly saluted.

"Not bad, keep up the hard work, and strive to become a Knight Peak when we reach the territory!"

Thor collected his thoughts, his voice gentle.

"Yes!"

"My lord!"

Reine said excitedly, respectfully speaking.

At this moment, Reine only held admiration for Thor.

If loyalty could be seen, this one would definitely be full.

Thor then encouraged him with a few words.

Before he called everyone to move forward again.

Along the way, Thor picked up the two Pig Beasts from the information.

And this undoubtedly led to another exclamation from the Knight Order, and everyone feasted once more.

The originally anticipated hard days didn’t come, instead, the first day in the Northern Province was spent harvesting.

This made over four hundred Knights no longer anxious about the future, but full of anticipation.

At this moment, everyone seemed to feel the beautiful future beckoning to them.

Expectations, dreams, and longing.

These replaced the previous anxiety, tension, and confusion about the future.

And this was undoubtedly what Thor needed.

Building the territory, this is the beginning from nothing to something.

The difficult situations encountered are unimaginable.

And the first hurdle is the steadfastness in the hearts of the Servant Knights.

Servant Knights are also humans, they aren’t Guardian Knights under the witness of the Goddess of Life. They have signed a contract and will never betray, but that’s just the extent, with no attachments beyond that.

Whether or not one can mobilize their internal positivity is undoubtedly the first problem every Pioneer Knight needs to solve.

Thor, after going through a large amount of information, naturally understood this as well.

However, luckily, with daily information at his disposal, solving it was much simpler than for other Pioneer Knights.

The night gradually descended.

The first day in the Northern Province slowly passed, quickly moving into the second day.

Just like the first day, the second day, they had considerable gains as well.

Though not as direct in enhancing Knight aptitude as the Thorny Butterfly Fish, the gains were considerable, and everyone got a share.
