Chapter 146 - 118: Allen’s Talent, Preparing to Return Home (2)

Chapter 146: Chapter 118: Allen’s Talent, Preparing to Return Home (2) For his own Lord, he is filled with longing and gratitude.


"No need to thank me; this is what you deserve!"


"The reason I called you here this time is to have you plant this tree successfully!"


"If you can do it, I can give you one hundred merit points, and even grant you the eligibility to exchange for Life Potion."


Thor shook his head, then motioned to the Tree of Life nearby, instructing Allen.


He already had a plan for arranging the Tree of Life.


Without the Forest Elf, Allen was undoubtedly the best choice.


Though it may not necessarily promote the evolution of the Tree of Life, he didn’t need it to evolve. As mentioned before, simply keeping it alive was sufficient.


"Yes, my Lord!"


Allen glanced at the Tree of Life and immediately nodded without any hesitation.


"Go ahead!"


"Work hard, I look forward to the day you become my Guardian Knight."


Thor encouraged with a smile.


"Yes, my Lord!"


Upon hearing Thor’s words, Allen was somewhat excited, and his face couldn’t help but flush a bit.


Guardian Knight.


That’s a Guardian Knight.


The Lord actually said he is looking forward to the day Allen becomes his Guardian Knight.


For him, nothing could be more exciting.


Of course, it’s not just him; such words are enough to excite anyone from the Eagle Territory.


In just one year, Thor’s prestige in the Eagle Territory has reached an unimaginable level.


Even the slaves are no exception.


Not to mention the Free People and Knights.


Following Thor, they saw an infinitely vast future.


In such a situation, the longing for Thor naturally became more intense.


And this was undoubtedly what Thor hoped to see.


In the feudal era, personal aspirations can make governing his domain smoother and infuse the entire territory with vitality.


As long as he can truly bring a better future for everyone, there will be no problem.


The Tree of Life was entrusted to Allen for care.


Thor then began to arrange the final matters before his departure.


Fortunately, with Neil Morton around, he didn’t need to use some tedious arrangements; Neil Morton alone was enough to handle most of the issues.


Thus, he only left Steve behind.


Pelos and Anna were brought along with him.


Additionally, there were more than twenty Official Knights and over fifty Apprentice Knights heading towards the Frost Moon Province.


Ten days later, Thor’s Knight Order first arrived in Loren City.


After resting in Loren City for a day and purchasing some specialties of the Northern Province, they set off again.


Twenty-five days later, he was officially about to leave the Northern Province and step into the Frost Moon Province.


By this time, it had been a year and a half since he first entered the Northern Province.


In this year and a half, he had undoubtedly undergone a huge change.


A year and a half ago, when he first arrived at the Northern Province, his strength was just that of an ordinary Apprentice Knight. Even with the support of the Life Fruit, his talent wasn’t very prominent, and breaking through to Official Knight would likely take five to six years, or even longer; let alone being a Great Knight—his greatest achievement would probably be just becoming a Great Knight in his lifetime, and entering Earth Knight would be nearly impossible.


As for the Knight Order, he only had about thirty Official Knights given by his father, one hundred Apprentice Knights, and three hundred Reserve Riders.


But in just a year and a half, everything changed.


His strength at this point not only reached Great Knight level, but his talent had also undergone a phenomenal transformation; at this stage, achieving Sky Knight level was the minimum for him.


The Knight Order also saw tremendous growth, with over forty Official Knights, more than one hundred and thirty Apprentice Knights, and nearly five hundred Reserve Riders.


More importantly, he already had his own territory and noble status.


If he wanted, he could now take Thor as his surname.


He became a true noble of the Kingdom.


It was already incomparable to before.


Clearly, his choice was correct.


If he had chosen to stay in the Frost Moon Province back then.


Stayed in Dressrosa Castle.


None of this would have been possible.


Even if he would also use the daily intelligence system to gain opportunities.


But how big would Dressrosa Castle, Count Engle’s territory be, and how many fortunes and opportunities would it offer him?


His current ability to break through to Official Knight level would be questionable, let alone obtaining a title, which would be almost impossible.


The most he would have is the identity of a Knight.


Although, in a certain sense, Knights are also Nobility.


But that’s only from a certain perspective; in truth, Knights are Knights, Nobles are Nobles, the two are incomparable.


Not even to mention Knights, even temporary Nobles can’t compare to Nobility.


Earlier in Loren City, during that clash with that fool.


If he weren’t already a Baron, the outcome would have been entirely different.


But he was a Baron, and everything was different.


This is Nobility.


This is also the meaning of Nobility in this world.


"Clip-clop!"


Hoofbeats hit the ground as Thor’s group passed the Northern Province’s boundary.


Entered the Frost Moon Province.


Thor couldn’t help but pause.


His gaze turned to the back.


A gentle smile couldn’t help but appear on his face.


After a slight pause, Thor set out again, heading homeward.


Compared to the Northern Province.


The Frost Moon Province was undoubtedly much more peaceful; the massive impact of the Beastmen didn’t even cause any commotion here.


The Nobles throughout were still indulgent in luxury.


Only the impending Kingdom War marginally stirred these nobles.


But it was just a slight stir.


With the spirit and will of most Frost Moon Province Nobles, if placed in the Northern Province, even surviving a month might be difficult.


Last time when he left, Thor didn’t feel much, but this time returning, he could clearly perceive the stark difference between the Nobles in the two provinces.


But this is quite normal.


The Frost Moon Province hasn’t faced chaos.


Nearly a hundred years of stability has allowed most Nobles to indulge in pleasure.


Even crises exist only on paper, not in reality.


Mutual interests and futures are already fixed.


In the Northern Province, as long as you have enough strength.


Becoming a Baron, Viscount, or even Count has some chance.


But not in the Frost Moon Province.


A farmer’s child will be a farmer, a baker’s son will be a baker, and a Baron’s son will only be a Baron, with almost no possibility of advancement.


Nor is there a cake to support their divisions.


In this situation.


Nearly a hundred years have made the entire province stagnant.


Perhaps some Nobles are willing to fight, but more are content resting on their ancestors’ laurels.


About this, Thor wouldn’t comment.


Everyone has their own choice.


Right or wrong isn’t for others to judge.


In contrast, Thor is more concerned with daily intelligence and opportunities.


This time, he deliberately chose a different path from before.


But apparently, just like before, this time’s gains weren’t large, even smaller than before, only yielding barely five hundred Gold Coins.


This also shows.


Most of Frost Moon Province’s value has already been divided.


Even if there are more, they aren’t significant enough to bring substantial change.
