Chapter 176: Chapter 133: Father’s Breakthrough, Sky Knight II

After all, this thing, even Thor cannot guarantee that he won’t need it in the future.

Having it is, of course, a good thing.

"No need to thank me, these are what you deserve."

"This time I called you over to give you this."

Count Engel spoke, then gestured towards the wooden box on the table.

"What is this?"

Thor was a bit curious and instinctively looked at the wooden box.

"Open it and see!"

Count Engel said with a smile.

Thor nodded and then opened the wooden box.

Upon opening it, a completely pitch-black Knight’s Sword came into his view.

This made Thor’s eyes brighten involuntarily.

A Knight’s Sword, he is indeed in need of one now.

His own Knight’s Sword had crumbled after several infusions of his Alien Life Source Power.

Unexpectedly, his father had prepared one for him.

"A Knight’s Sword, originally the sword of the legendary Kingdom Earth Knight Cadmos, rumored to have injured a Giant Dragon with it."

"Use it well."

Count Engel also smiled.

The event he encountered on his visit to the Royal Capital was undoubtedly related to this Knight’s Sword, which he purchased at a great expense.

It was for his son.

"Thank you, Father."

"I won’t disturb you further, I wish you a successful breakthrough soon."

Thor expressed his gratitude.

"Hahaha, good!"

Count Engel nodded.

Then Thor, carrying the wooden box, retreated.

Count Engel started preparing for his breakthrough.

Thor did not do anything further.

He had done all he could by this point.

Whether the breakthrough could be achieved now depended solely on his father’s abilities.

All he needed was to wait.

After leaving Count Engel’s room,

he took the Knight’s Sword and headed to the training ground to get familiar with it.

This Knight’s Sword, truly deserving of its legendary origin, felt distinctly different from his own the moment he held it.

Not only was it heavier, but more importantly, it could easily bear his Alien Life Source Power without any issues.

Thor even felt, perhaps it was an illusion, that the Knight’s Sword had a reinforcing effect on his Life Source Power.

"It really is excellent."

Thor murmured, filled with admiration.

With this Knight’s Sword, plus Anna’s magic support, Thor even had the confidence to suppress Deguli.

Of course, that was just Deguli. Facing his cousin, an actual Earth Knight, Thor felt he was not yet a match.

However, he was currently a Mid-Stage Great Knight. If he could reach the Late-Stage Great Knight, or even the Great Knight Peak.

Facing an Earth Knight, it might not just be about contending.

This made him extremely satisfied with the Knight’s Sword.

Then.

In the following time,

Thor was familiarizing himself with the Knight’s Sword and waiting for news about his father’s closure.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

On the fourth day, just as Thor was about to head to the training ground as usual,

the steward Charlie stopped him.

"Has father come out?"

Hearing Charlie’s words, Thor was somewhat pleasantly surprised.

"Yes, the master just came out, and he wants you to go to the study."

Charlie said respectfully.

"Alright!"

Thor nodded, not hesitating, and quickly headed towards the upper levels of the castle.

Even though he was preparing to cultivate next, he postponed it directly.

After all, nothing was more important than whether his father broke through the Sky Knight. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Thor, with apprehension and nervousness,

soon arrived at the door of the study.

"Knock knock!"

The door was gently knocked by him, and at that moment, Thor even felt his heart pounding.

"Come in!"

A familiar voice came through.

Only then did Thor carefully push open the door.

And after just three days, he saw his father again.

Compared to the previously travel-worn appearance, Count Engel now seemed to embody the demeanor of a noble once more.

Gentle, modest, giving a feeling of a warm spring breeze.

The barely noticeable furrow on his brow was no longer visible, leaving only composure and confidence.

"Father, have you already broken through?"

Looking at Count Engel’s demeanor, Thor already understood the outcome.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but show a hint of joy.

"The luck was good, I succeeded in a single attempt, without using up your potion."

Count Engel nodded with a smile.

At this moment, he felt immensely relieved.

It had been ten years, a full ten years.

No, strictly speaking, it had been twenty years.

He had almost despaired.

Yet, unexpectedly, just before giving up, he actually broke through.

Sky Knight.

A Sky Knight, indeed.

In the whole Kingdom, there are less than ten visible Sky Knights.

Even if there are more in reality, they would not exceed twenty.

Every Sky Knight, even without a noble title, holds a status higher than a regular Marquis.

Moreover, having a Sky Knight in the family provides qualification, or rather, the capability for the family to gain advancements to Marquis or even higher Duke status in Kingdom Wars.

More crucially, he was nearly seventy years old already.

If he couldn’t break through to Sky Knight, he would not live past a hundred, barely thirty years left.

Breaking through to Sky Knight extended his lifespan to 120, meaning he gained another fifty years.

Fifty years, with him as a Sky Knight guarding them, unless unexpected incidents occurred, meant a true metamorphosis for the Dressrosa Family, propelling the whole family to ascend.

"Congratulations, Father."

Thor quickly spoke, offering his congratulations.

At this moment, he was also filled with excitement.

Sky Knight.

This was different from Neil Morton; this was a Sky Knight belonging to the Dressrosa Family, his father.

Neil Morton could leave, his aid could be sought once or twice, but excessive requests would wear down the relationship.

But his father was different.

Moreover, as mentioned before, the stronger the Dressrosa Family becomes, the greater his security.

His future endeavors in the Northern Province would also proceed more smoothly.

"Hahaha, Thor, this time it was thanks to you!"

"As I mentioned, that vial of High-Level Life Potion is yours to use at any time once you reach the Earth Knight Peak. Of course, if you are uneasy, you can take it this time."

Count Engel said with a smile.

Seeing his son, he was increasingly satisfied.

This moment, he even directly spoke and let Thor take the High-Level Life Potion.

Listening to his father’s words,

Thor felt a bit tempted.

After contemplating for a moment, Thor did not refuse.

A vial of High-Level Life Potion could be used for more than just breaking through to Sky Knight.

Residing in the Northern Province, Thor could not guarantee he wouldn’t need it.

"Alright, thank you, Father!"

He said, accepting the offer directly.

"Hahaha, it’s not you who should thank me, but I who should thank you."

Count Engel shook his head and sighed lightly.

For Thor choosing to take it, he was not concerned, as these things originally came from Thor.
