The enormous bonfire blazed up, and at this moment, Thor also got to see the Duke Anubi, a towering figure who seemed to be in his seventies or eighties.

The majestic Life Source Power surged around him, and just by observing, Thor felt a sense of weight.

It was very clear that Duke Anubi’s strength might even surpass that of Duke Liepuer.

"No need to be nervous, Viscount Thor!"

"This time, I’ve come to thank you for taking care of Joz over the past three years!"

Duke Anubi spoke with a gentle voice.

"You’re too kind, Duke. Baron Joz has also been a great help to me."

Thor solemnly responded.

He wasn’t just being polite; initially, Joz Anubi’s help was indeed significant. Both Joz Anubi and Baron Pape had put in a lot of effort to help the Eagle Merchant Association expand.

"This is not just being overly polite!"

"Let’s do it this way, I heard you have been officially enrolled in Canaan Academy as a special recruit. Here are three bottles of High-Level Life Potion, one as a thank you, and the second as a congratulatory gift for you, Viscount Thor."

Duke Anubi waved his hand, and a knight brought over a wooden box, as Duke Anubi’s voice echoed.

"This?"

As the wooden box opened, Thor couldn’t help but show a trace of astonishment.

He hadn’t expected Duke Anubi to take out three bottles of High-Level Life Potion all at once.

One must know that this kind of item is extremely rare even within the Duke Family. A single bottle could potentially create a Sky Knight, and three bottles almost guaranteed the birth of a Sky Knight, yet they were being given to him at this moment.

"Duke, this is far too valuable."

Thor hesitated slightly but still shook his head lightly as he spoke.

Admittedly, Duke Anubi’s intentions were hard for him to believe.

Given that Joz Anubi managed to travel from the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom to the Tulip Kingdom and even became a Pioneer Knight, there was no need to say how much he was valued.

Just to thank him, offering three bottles of High-Level Life Potion directly was hard for him to buy into.

"It’s nothing!"

"High-Level Life Potions are extremely valuable to us, but to the Royal Family, they are merely ordinary, and even more common in Canaan Academy."

Duke Anubi chuckled wryly, shaking his head lightly as he spoke.

At his level, he better understood the vast gaps in some things.

For their Duke Family, High-Level Life Potions were already very precious, but to the Royal Family, to the Empire, High-Level Life Potions were just that.

Understanding Thor’s concerns through chuckling, Duke Anubi paused slightly before speaking.

"Viscount Thor, you don’t need to be nervous. We have no other demands, just hope that if you manage to pass the special enrolment exam at Canaan Academy and have the chance to stay, you might look into our Anubi Family’s descendants to see if they have a chance to be recruited."

"No need for special enrollment, ordinary enrollment will do, and if it’s not possible, there’s no need to insist."

His words came slowly as Duke Anubi laid out his plan.

"Understood!"

"Thank you, Duke Anubi!"

After listening to the explanation, Thor pondered for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

This matter was not problematic for him.

It didn’t even require much effort on his part.

Duke Anubi only asked him to come and recruit.

Besides, he had to stay in Canaan Academy first.

He hadn’t even passed the exam yet, let alone staying in Canaan Academy.

"I’m the one who should thank you!"

Duke Anubi shook his head gently and spoke softly.

Afterward, the two conversed a bit more before Thor took his leave, escorted out by Isabel.

As Thor departed.

The expressions of the Anubi family members were somewhat complex.

"Father, is this really necessary?"

"Those are three bottles of High-Level Life Potion."

Amidst the complexity, someone couldn’t help but speak up.

As he spoke, the expressions of all those present fluctuated.

As Thor said earlier, three bottles of High-Level Life Potion were very important even to the Anubi family.

"For our Anubi Family to move forward, someone must join Canaan Academy."

"Otherwise, the Duke is our limit."

Duke Anubi sighed lightly.

"But Viscount Thor has barely obtained the special enrollment qualification. He may not even pass the exam, let alone stay at Canaan Academy."

Even with Duke Anubi’s sigh, someone couldn’t help but speak up.

In their view, such an investment seemed a considerable loss.

After all, nothing was yet certain for Thor at this time.

"Viscount Thor is not yet twenty-two this year."

Facing the hesitant gazes, Duke Anubi said just one sentence.

And with just that one sentence.

Suddenly, the members of the Anubi family widened their eyes.

"What!"

Someone couldn’t help but exclaim in disbelief and shock.

"Father, you must be joking!"

"Yeah, how, how is that possible?"

Voices mingled as everyone struggled to remain composed.

They knew Thor was very young, likely not yet thirty—the oldest he might be was a little over thirty.

But whatever they imagined, they assumed Thor was at least twenty-seven or twenty-eight.

Yet, what did they hear now, that Thor was only twenty-two?
