Chapter 16: Future Territory Development Plan

Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Future Territory Development Plan

"Thor Dressrosa Knight. Your registration is complete. For the next twenty years, as long as you are here, the Maine River Valley shall permanently belong to you as your territory. After twenty years, the Kingdom will evaluate your territory. If it meets the criteria, the Kingdom will bestow upon you a title. Of course, you can apply earlier if the conditions are met!"

The blonde girl respectfully handed over a piece of sheepskin scroll.

As the original territory chosen by the Pioneer Knight, naturally there are no cumbersome processes. This sheepskin scroll is the Contract.

"Thank you!"

Thor expressed his gratitude and then took the sheepskin scroll.

The Maine River Valley is the result of his constant selection through daily intelligence.

On one hand, the Maine River Valley is vast enough. Although there are three Noble Lords to the left and over a dozen Pioneer Lords, the area extending northward is extremely spacious. Under the impact of the Maine River, it forms an exceptionally large bay, where the terrain is flat, the soil quality is good, making it very suitable for large-scale farming. The only problem is the potential for flooding, but for Thor, the Transmigrator, this is not really an issue.

Of course, the more important reason for choosing this location is the daily intelligence that reveals not only the presence of Star Moon Fruit, but also an extremely rich Iron Ore deposit in the eastern Goblin Tribe.

Needless to say, both the Star Moon Fruit and the Iron Ore are enough to tempt a Count, let alone him.

Given all these conditions, his choice was obvious.

"You’ve overstated!"

"We look forward to your return!"

The blonde girl quickly responded.

Thor nodded with a smile.

Then, with Reine and Steve, he left the municipal center.

Along the way, knights once again greeted Thor with salutes.

Thor responded to each salute in turn.

After leaving the municipal center, their figures soon arrived at the Knight Order’s encampment.

"Master!"

"Master!"

.....

Upon his return, the knights swiftly paid their respects.

Thor waved his hand.

Then, he entered the camp.

The Knight Order began preparing meals.

Enjoying the first meal in Loren City, Thor immediately fell into contemplation.

The Pioneer Knight registration was completed, and at this moment he could be considered a true Pioneer Knight, recognized by the Kingdom’s laws. In the next twenty years, he would enjoy certain noble rights.

If he successfully develops the territory within twenty years and passes the Kingdom’s evaluation, he would become a true Baron of the Kingdom.

This also signifies that his lordship career is about to begin.

How to develop the territory is something he needs to consider for a long time.

To this end, he had already made considerable preparations in Dressrosa Castle.

However, actually reaching this moment, he still decided to organize everything properly.

He also planned to stay in Loren City for a day to see if the daily intelligence system could bring him more surprises.

The night gradually descended.

In Loren City, naturally, there was no established residence for them.

However, with enough Gold Coins, arrangements could still be made.

Especially since Thor is a descendant of the Dressrosa Family, it became even simpler.

Yet the environment couldn’t compare to Dressrosa Castle.

But it was still a significant improvement over the wild.

Time slowly passed.

Soon it was midnight.

With a trace of expectation, the daily intelligence system refreshed once more.

"Buzz!"

[Daily intelligence updated]

[1: A hundred and fifty miles ahead, a group of Earth Dragons will pass by]

[2: In three days, .....]

[3: Tomorrow, .....]

[4: In one day, a thousand miles to the right, a Sky Spirit Dragon has left its nest. After leaving, it couldn’t return, holding treasures and one of its descendants.]

[5: One thousand miles from Loren City, on the west side of the Maine River Valley, a Large Iron Ore Deposit is guarded by goblins]

[6: Tomorrow, a group of Unicorns will pass by the Rhine River and stop for three hours before leaving!]

[7: Two days later, in Loren City’s slave market, a batch of slaves will be sold, with the third batch on the left side being a half-elf maiden with rare Mage talents, and the talent is extremely high.]

.....

As words appeared, Thor scanned each item until he reached the seventh entry, where his eyes couldn’t help but lit up.

There was a hint of delight in his expression.

It’s not the half-elf.

For some nobles, elf maidens or half-elf maidens might be enough to make their adrenaline soar, but not Thor.

Or more accurately, he cares more about the strength and enhancement of his territory, otherwise, he wouldn’t have chosen to be a Pioneer Knight.

What delighted him was that this half-elf maiden possessed an extremely rare Mage talent, and the talent was exceedingly high.

In the Kingdom, or on this earthly continent, Knights are mainstream, but that doesn’t mean there is only one path of practice - witches and mages are also paths of practice.

They are also Extraordinary Powers.

However, compared to Knights, Mages and witches are extremely rare.

Particularly in the Kingdom, Mages are so scarce they seem invisible.

Yet each Mage is of significant importance to nobles and the entire Kingdom.

Because whether it’s Magic Potion or Life Potion, only Mages can prepare them.

In such circumstances, Mages naturally become extremely valuable.

Thor never expected to encounter a person with such high Mage talent in Loren City.

Delight, this moment was truly delightful.

As long as he can claim and recruit the half-elf maiden, his future development will be unimaginable.

Mage, that is the Mage.

If a Mage could be born within his territory.

Just the thought of such a result made Thor’s expression excited.

"Two days, huh?"

He murmured softly and then made a decision.

After all, it was only two days, he might as well be a little late in going to his territory.

No need to rush.

Having made his decision, Thor began to wait in Loren City.

Two days quickly passed.

Thor also enjoyed experiencing life in Loren City, to be honest, the gap between Loren City and Frost Moon Province was stark.

This wasn’t just the demeanor of the Free People, but their living conditions.

It was evident that the resources in Loren City weren’t too abundant. After twenty years of development, it’s clear that the Marquis might not have been too attentive.

But that’s normal.

A Marquis, placed in this location, might not be too attentive.
