Chapter 35: New Intelligence, Return to the City

Chapter 35: Chapter 35: New Intelligence, Return to the City

The appearance of the goblin undoubtedly brought an unexpected surprise to Thor. However, the surprises did not stop there, because Thor quickly learned that the leader, an elderly goblin, was actually a Tier Four Alchemist.

Just like the levels of demon beasts.

Goblin alchemy also has levels.

Generally, it is divided into five levels.

A Level One Alchemist can forge simple creations like Black Iron Armor.

A Level Two Alchemist can forge relatively more complex creations like Brass Armor.

And a Level Three Alchemist can already forge magic items, for instance, Silver Armor is considered a magical creation.

As for a Level Four Alchemist, they can basically be called an Alchemy Master, enjoying extremely high status, even in the entire Tulip Kingdom.

And a Tier Four goblin alchemist has an even higher level of alchemical skill compared to a human Tier Four alchemist.

They might even be able to create a Magic Crystal Cannon, which is difficult for even human Tier Four alchemists to forge.

Yes, a Magic Crystal Cannon.

Compared to Golden Armor, the value of a Magic Crystal Cannon is undoubtedly higher.

The price of a Magic Crystal Cannon usually exceeds seven thousand Gold Coins, and in the Northern Province, the price can reach over ten thousand Gold Coins, or even more expensive.

Of course, the most important thing is not its value, but its function. Each Magic Crystal Cannon holds enormous power, and having a few can ensure the territory’s security.

Even when faced with a large-scale Beastman Tribe attack, it is highly likely to be defended.

Even in the Pioneer War, the role of Magic Crystal Cannons is unimaginable.

Just like this attack on the Goblin Tribe.

Only three Magic Crystal Cannons were needed to completely wipe out the large timid Goblin Tribe.

No need for much assistance from peasant slaves.

Of course, to forge a Magic Crystal Cannon, one needs more than just a Tier Four alchemist; all kinds of extremely precious materials are needed, which Thor does not currently possess.

However, not having them now does not mean they won’t have them in the future.

As long as they can gather the materials later, he can forge a Magic Crystal Cannon.

By then, possessing a Magic Crystal Cannon, the security of his territory will reach unimaginable levels.

How could such a result not make him ecstatic?

Not to mention that as a Tier Four alchemist, he can create more than just Magic Crystal Cannons and Golden Armor, as well as various alchemical items, which are very important for Thor’s territory development.

It can be said that it makes up for the current shortcomings in his territory’s construction.

These past few days, his smile has never faded.

Of course, along with his smile, the peasant slaves were also smiling.

On the day the war ended, Thor announced according to the regulation the liberation of two hundred and seventy-three peasant slaves, among whom twenty-seven joined the Preparatory Knight Order, a situation that threw nearly two thousand peasant slaves into a frenzy, with no one paying much attention to the hundred peasant slaves who died in the Pioneer War.

As for the Official Knights, Apprentice Knights, and Preparatory Knights, Thor generously distributed some of the resources he had obtained before, leaving everyone extremely satisfied.

For them, following their Lord to become Pioneer Knights was undoubtedly the most important and fortunate opportunity in their lives.

Following the Lord, they gained what they never imagined before.

Even their Knight Cultivation improved rapidly after following their Lord.

Such developments were unimaginable even at the Dressrosa Castle.

Such results made them more fervent and hopeful for their Lord.

In the open ground,

after organizing everything, Thor prepared to leave.

"Steve!"

Speaking, his gaze turned to Steve.

"My Lord!"

Steve quickly stepped forward.

"Everything here is now in your hands, ensure nothing goes wrong!"

"I will assign thirty Official Knights, a hundred Apprentice Knights, and two hundred Preparatory Knights to you."

Thor spoke solemnly, pondering a bit before deciding.

Compared to his own territory, ensuring the safety of this place’s importance is undoubtedly greater, so he decided to station most of the force at the Iron Ore.

With Steve, a Great Knight, along with three hundred knights’ support, it should be secure enough.

"Yes!"

Steve responded with excitement, his voice firm.

"Do well, I hope you will become like Uncle Knight Commander Michael someday!"

Thor patted Steve’s shoulder, encouraging him.

"I won’t disappoint you, my Lord."

Thor’s words deeply moved Steve.

Comparing him to Knight Commander Michael made him feel immensely honored.

After organizing the Iron Ore,

Thor assigned some peasant slaves to start mining it.

Ideally, the best miners would be the goblins; even the timid goblins are natural miners, and they are not afraid of death in numbers. Unfortunately, without the Slave Scroll, he couldn’t buy one, and the Habbs Commerce Association controls the slave trade, leaving no other option but to use peasant slaves.

This is why he decided to kill all the timid goblins directly.

Without a Slave Contract, keeping timid goblins as miners would be too risky.

If some of them escaped, revealing the location of the Large Iron Ore Deposit, it would cause him a big problem.

For safety, it’s better to use peasant slaves for now.

I’ll see if there’s a way to obtain a Slave Scroll and then make a change.

After completing the arrangements,

Thor, along with Reine, and the freed peasant slaves returned to the territory.

As before,

Thor allocated land to them.

When they actually obtained the land, those freed individuals were overwhelmed with excitement.

They were truly liberated.

Freed from their status as slaves, becoming Free People.

Once again bathing in the radiance of the Goddess of Life.

"May the Goddess of Life, bless you!"

"May the Goddess of Life, bless you!"

"May the Goddess of Life, bless you!"

.......

Voices echoed, over two hundred people turned into the most fervent citizens, becoming the first true residents of Eagle Ridge. Although there were a few before, now there are more than two hundred people.

Over two hundred Free People brought new vitality to the territory.

At this moment, Eagle Ridge truly stepped onto the right track.

All that remains is to follow the established course, and the entire Eagle Ridge will embark on a path of rapid development.

Not to mention he still has the daily intelligence system.

Relying on daily intelligence.

Three years.

No, perhaps it won’t even take a year before his Eagle Ridge could surpass some Barons’ territories.
