Chapter 159 - 125: Beast Fighting, Sudden Accident

Chapter 159: Chapter 125: Beast Fighting, Sudden Accident Pat City is over fifteen hundred miles away from the Dressrosa Family’s territory. After passing through the Emerson Family’s lands, on the fourteenth day of the journey, Thor and his party finally arrived at Pat City.


Compared to Loren City, Pat City was undoubtedly more prosperous. From afar, the tall city gates were the first to catch everyone’s eye.


Looking at the massive city gates,


everyone’s oppressed and heavy hearts couldn’t help but feel slightly relieved.


"We’re here!"


Marshall spoke softly.


"Is this Pat City?"


Anna looked at the large city ahead with curiosity in her beautiful eyes.


"Let’s go, let’s enter!"


Thor said with a smile, then beckoned everyone to move forward.


Soon, the group reached the gates.


Like Loren City,


Pat City’s gates were also divided into several parts.


There were sections for commoners, for merchants, and naturally one for the nobility.


Thor and his party naturally chose the noble passage.


Compared to the other passages, the noble passage was undoubtedly much smoother.


Soon, everyone passed through the massive gates and entered Pat City.


Upon stepping into Pat City, Thor could immediately feel the bustling atmosphere of the city.


Everywhere on the streets were figures clad in knight armor, and people adorned with noble orders. Along the streets were various shops with different signboards hanging.


Even the already prosperous Loren City paled in comparison.


"Young Master Morris, please first take Young Master Thor to the residence while I handle these supplies,"


Marshall spoke softly.


"Alright, Uncle Marshall!"


Morris nodded in agreement.


Then the group split up.


Morris led a detachment of the Knight Order, guiding Thor towards the center of Pat City.


The Dressrosa Family, being a Count’s Clan, naturally had properties in Pat City.


The most valuable among them was a tavern and a weapon shop.


In addition, there was also a large courtyard.


Morris quickly led Thor to the Dressrosa courtyard.


The courtyard was large.


Big enough to easily accommodate all of them.


There were people responsible for its upkeep year-round.


Settling in was naturally not an issue.


Once everything was settled, Morris smiled and spoke to Thor.


"Thor, the auction won’t start until tomorrow. Today, we should have a good rest. After dinner, I’ll take you for a walk around Pat City. You probably haven’t been here for many years."


"Alright, I really haven’t been here for many years."


Thor nodded with a smile, not refusing.


Pat City, even in past visits, was only visited a couple of times. The memories were somewhat blurry.


In this situation, he certainly didn’t mind going out for a stroll.


After a brief rest,


servants brought their dinner.


They had a hearty meal.


Relieved the fatigue of traveling for more than ten days, and then Morris took Thor out of the courtyard to explore the entire Pat City.


Pat City was indeed large enough.


Probably more than three times the size of Loren City.


Even in terms of population, Thor estimated it could exceed four to five hundred thousand people, likely ranking in the top three of the entire Tulip Kingdom.


Similarly, there were unexpectedly many nobles in Pat City.


In their brief stroll, Thor and his group encountered several nobles.


Of course, this was also quite normal.


In the Northern Province, aside from Marquis Reman and some court nobles, only those Pioneer Lords mostly stayed in their territories. Naturally, there couldn’t be too many appearing in Loren City.


But Pat City was different.


The entire Frost Moon Province was relatively stable without much turmoil.


Compared to their territories, Pat City perhaps offered more opportunities, attracting more nobles to stay in Pat City.


"Thor, you might not know, but Pat City is said to be expanding this year. Marquis Pat has decided to expand the area by another mile, and maybe one day it will surpass the Royal Capital."


"Expand by another mile."


"Yes, preparations have already begun. It’s said that it will take five years to complete the construction. By then, even if it doesn’t match the Royal Capital, it should surpass Qiuye City."


As they conversed, their figures leisurely took in everything about Pat City.


Unknowingly, time slowly passed by.


The night gradually descended.


As night arrived, Pat City seemed to grow even livelier.


There was no curfew in Pat City.


One by one, lights lit up, making the entire Pat City look like a city that never sleeps.


Just as they were about to find a place to rest, a commotion erupted ahead.


The disturbance spread, quickly attracting the attention of Morris and Thor.


Focusing their gazes,


they saw a large crowd gathering ahead.


"Shall we go take a look?"


Thor said with a smile.


"Sure!"


Morris was also curious and nodded, then the group headed towards the commotion.


As the figures around noticed the noble orders worn by Thor and his group, many people willingly made way.


The group quickly reached the center.


And saw the source of the commotion.


It was an arena.


On the arena, two figures were currently engaged in a fierce battle.


One was a remarkably strong black bear, while the other was a huge wolf with a bluish-gray coat.


Unsurprisingly, the black bear should be a Tier Two Magical Beast, the Giant Power Bear. As a Tier Two Magical Beast, it possessed terrifying strength far exceeding that of ordinary Tier Two Magical Beasts, though it was sluggish in reaction.
