Chapter 170: Chapter 130: High-Level Knight’s Breathing Technique (2)

As he spoke, Morris couldn’t help but become serious.

Morris chose to become a Guardian Knight, but that does not mean his descendants will also choose to become Guardian Knights.

In fact, from Thor’s experiences, he had already decided to let a few of his descendants give it a try. At this moment, with Ruby’s inquiry, he naturally paid extra attention.

Listening to Ruby’s words and observing their expressions, Thor hesitated slightly before he spoke.

"The Kingdom, under the light of the Goddess of Life, shines upon the Northern Province, granting all Pioneer Knights a chance to obtain the title of Royal Nobility.

As long as one can develop a town in the Northern Province with no less than five thousand people, they can be bestowed the title of Baron of the Kingdom, becoming an emerging noble."

"In the Northern Province, the price of five hundred slaves is fifty Gold Coins, so five thousand people would be five hundred Gold Coins. Adding in the initial expenses and various costs, it would be around five thousand Gold Coins!"

"As for strength, it requires a Great Knight and over ten Official Knights to ensure adequate security of the territory."

"However!"

The voice gradually began, but halfway through, Thor could not help but stop.

"However, what?"

"Is there a problem?"

Ruby and Morris couldn’t help but ask.

What Thor mentioned about these expenses and strength is indeed considerable, but for Morris, it is still a problem, while for Ruby, it is not a big issue.

A Great Knight, over ten Official Knights, and five thousand Gold Coins, he can still acquire these. The only issue is whether these expenses can lead to acquiring the baron title.

"It’s just, if I may be frank, it’s really difficult to earn a title through this method. The Kingdom holds selections only once every ten years, and in those ten years, who knows how many orc uprisings will occur, along with the attacks amongst Pioneer Lords. There are too many uncertainties over ten years, and obtaining the title of baron is highly unpredictable."

Thor spoke softly, explaining to the two.

Indeed, in his view, this so-called ten years of pioneering to become a baron is almost like a mirage drawn by the kingdom.

Not many Pioneer Lords can swallow this pie.

"This!"

"This is!"

Morris and Ruby exchanged a glance, momentarily at a loss for words.

They did not expect such an outcome.

They also vaguely understood why so few could rise from Pioneer Lords to Barons.

With the situation Thor described, it would be a miracle.

"Brother Ruby, Brother Morris, to become a baron, the best way is still through merits. One hundred merit points can earn you a noble title by the kingdom. During the orc uprisings, if one can seize the opportunity, it would be enough to obtain the title."

Seeing their emotional changes, Thor spoke softly.

"Understood!"

"It seems we oversimplified the matter."

Ruby couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh. At this moment, he realized his own deeper dilemma.

Morris felt the same.

Even the previous excitement he felt had now been suppressed.

The two smiled wryly.

Then they changed the subject.

Night gradually deepened.

The banquet ended.

Thor and his companions then settled in for the night.

The next morning.

Thor and Morris both practiced the Knight’s Breathing Technique.

Layers of frost spread out.

Morris had to step back.

"Thor, your Alien Life Source Power is truly terrifying!"

Waiting for Thor to stop, Morris couldn’t help but remark admirably.

Thor smiled and was about to say something.

But Ruby approached.

"Brother Ruby!"

Seeing the approaching figure, Thor and Morris quickly greeted him.

"Thor, the person you were looking for has been found. He’s at the western Drubi trading grounds, indeed selling relic items, but he only arrived today."

Ruby looked at Thor with some curiosity.

"Great, thank you, Brother Ruby!"

Thor’s face lit up with joy, and he quickly thanked him.

"No need to thank me, it was a small matter!"

Ruby replied with a smile.

"Brother Ruby, then I’ll head over there now!"

Thor said to Ruby.

"Alright, go ahead. I have some other matters to attend to today, so I won’t accompany you!"

Ruby nodded with a smile.

Thor acknowledged and then, with Morris and Anna, headed towards the Drubi trading grounds.

The Drubi trading grounds were quite a distance from Ruby’s home.

The group walked for about an hour before arriving.

Initially, Thor thought he would have to search carefully, but upon arrival, he found it wasn’t needed at all.

Because right at the front of the trading grounds, a somewhat desolate figure was particularly striking.

It was a middle-aged man with unkempt facial hair, wearing worn-out Knight Armor, with a heap of scrap metal on top.

Whenever someone walked by, he would quickly approach to greet them.

When Thor approached, he received the same treatment.

"Esteemed guests, these are the most precious items from the southern relics, perhaps containing secrets to breakthrough as a Sky Knight."

"The southern relics, do you know, the very one that allowed the Kalenina family to birth a Sky Knight."

The middle-aged man with the unkempt beard spoke with excitement.

Listening to his words, Thor’s expression turned slightly odd.

It wasn’t because of what the man said about the Kalenina family. The southern relics allowing the Kalenina family to produce a Sky Knight was no secret, but that was five or six hundred years ago.

As for that relic, it had long been scoured thoroughly, leaving nothing of worth.

The main reason was the breakthrough to a Sky Knight’s secret the man mentioned, which indeed existed.

"How many Gold Coins?"

Thor asked.

The abrupt question made Andrew pause for a moment.

"Ah!"

"Gold Coins!"

"Esteemed guest, these treasures require only five hundred, no, just a thousand Gold Coins, and you can obtain the secret to becoming a Sky Knight, discover the secret of how the Kalenina family became Dukes. It’s truly worth it for you."

The man quickly offered as his eyes sparkled.

As he spoke, even Andrew began to believe his own words.

Moreover, this pile of junk had indeed been picked up from the relic.

If not for his certainty that these items are indeed junk...

His words had barely fallen when Thor turned and left immediately.

"Wait, wait!"

"Please don’t leave!"

"Eight hundred, no, five hundred, just five hundred Gold Coins will do!"

Andrew was still fantasizing but faced with Thor’s departure, he became anxious.

He hurriedly adjusted his offer.

"I’m only interested in relic items. One Gold Coin, no more than one Gold Coin. If not, then never mind."

Thor stopped, speaking calmly.

"Ah, esteemed guest, how can it be just one Gold Coin? Look, these are all products from the relics, ten coins, the least I can go is ten coins."

Andrew instinctively tried to counter.

But Thor was no longer lingering.

"One coin, just one!"

Seeing Thor was really leaving, Andrew couldn’t hold back and quickly replied.

He had already been shouting here since morning, yet still hadn’t attracted any interest. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Though one Gold Coin was a bit scant, it was still a decent income, enough for him to enjoy life for half a year.

"Anna, give him one Gold Coin!"

Thor returned and instructed Anna.

"Alright!"

Anna nodded, then took out a Gold Coin, while Thor took away the pile of junk.
