Chapter 352: Chapter 221: Enormous Compensation, Expansion of the Eagle Merchant Association (Part 2)

Butler Charlie spoke respectfully, and at this moment his expression also carried a hint of excitement.

This was worth nearly six hundred thousand Gold Coins, which for the Dressrosa Family, was almost more than the total income of twenty years.

"Convert the two hundred thousand Gold Coins sent by those nineteen nobles into a Golden Card, have someone deliver it to Thor, and select some of the other supplies to send half of them as well."

"Also, send someone to the Royal Capital to inform Carlo, and see if it’s possible to request a High-Level Knight’s Breathing Technique from His Majesty the King."

After pondering slightly, Count Engel immediately began to issue instructions.

"Yes!"

Butler Charlie was somewhat shocked, but at this moment, he still quickly responded.

Soon, the Dressrosa Family began to take action.

A few days later, groups of people and horses headed towards the Northern Province.

And three days after the people and horses set off.

A Knight Order also departed from Pat City.

Ruby Dressrosa, as the Commander-in-Chief, led his Knight Order toward the Northern Territory.

This past month, Ruby felt as if he were dreaming.

First, news came from his uncle that he had broken through to become a Sky Knight and even defeated Zaparov Spencer, then the Pat Family actually allowed him to lead a Knight Order to the Northern Territory.

Although Marquis Pat had previously promised him that he could earn the title of nobility through merits in the Kingdom War.

But that was during a Kingdom War.

Now he was actually allowed to head to the Northern Territory, and with his own Knight Order no less.

This meant that as long as he could earn enough merit points in the Northern Territory, he could have the opportunity to be bestowed a barony before the Kingdom War.

Unlike Wandering Knights and Clan Knights, they, as Vassal Knights, were not eligible to become Pioneer Knights unless they left the family they served, but that was something the Kingdom completely did not allow.

In other words, the only way to become nobility was through merit.

For the Kingdom War, he had some expectations, but he was also apprehensive, not knowing if Marquis Pat would allow it.

But now there was no need at all.

As his thoughts drifted, Ruby Dressrosa also thought of his uncle.

And that cousin Thor Dressrosa whom he met in Pat City that day.

"I wonder how Thor is doing?"

"And Father, he probably hasn’t settled down yet!"

"It’s a good opportunity to take a look!"

Ruby spoke with a smile, his expression couldn’t help but show some anticipation.

A few months ago, he had his father take his son to the Northern Province, originally thinking it would take a long time, but he didn’t expect it to be so quick.

"Go!"

"Move at full speed!"

With his words, the sound of hooves thundered on the road.

Ruby Dressrosa soon caught up with the Dressrosa convoy, and soon the two merged into one, heading towards the Northern Province.

Meanwhile, in the Northern Province.

Thor was still unaware of the happenings within the family.

The transmission of information in the Kingdom was not so swift, at least not among these nobles.

During this time, after resolving the Northern Alliance affairs.

His entire focus was on the expansion of the Eagle Merchant Association.

With the Northern Alliance resolved, the Three Great Noble Families’ descendants, including the distinguished noble descendant preparing to arrive in the Northern Province, did not choose to come again, making the expansion of the Eagle Merchant Association no longer a problem.

In fact, because they had defeated the Northern Alliance head-on, the reputation of the Eagle Merchant Association had thoroughly spread.

Making the actions of the Eagle Merchant Association much smoother.

In just over a month’s time, the Eagle Merchant Association had already expanded over most of the western region, simultaneously enveloping many Pioneer Lords in the north and east.

At such a pace, perhaps in at most half a year, the entire Northern Province would be completely encompassed.

By then, the Eagle Merchant Association could not only spread to other provinces but maybe also expand to other kingdoms like the adjacent Purple Gold Flower Kingdom.

Compared to the Tulip Kingdom, the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom was undoubtedly more prosperous, with more resources.

If the Eagle Merchant Association could open a trade route to the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom, it would truly grow into one of the top merchant associations within the entire Tulip Kingdom.

Of course, reaching that point was still too early.

First, the Eagle Merchant Association had yet to fully grasp the Northern Territory, and second, its current strength was insufficient.

Though the Eagle Merchant Association’s strength in the Northern Province was considerable, even Marquis Reman couldn’t compare, but it was still just within the Northern Province.

In the kingdom, it was not that significant.

Let alone in the Tulip Kingdom.

Even among the Northern Territories, the Northern Province of the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom was much stronger than that of the Tulip Kingdom.

For instance, Sky Knights were completely unseen in the Northern Province of the Tulip Kingdom, but there were quite a few in the Northern Province of the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom, which was originally the core defense line of the Beastman Tribe, and even more Earth Knights.

In the study.

The oil lamp cast its light.

Thor sat at the desk, organizing various matters from the past month.

Most of the tasks in the Eagle Territory were handled by Joseph, and the affairs of the Eagle Merchant Association were managed by Rajos, though they still needed to be summarized to him.

Thor was particularly strict with important matters.

In this world where extraordinary power resided, although unexpected events were rare, Thor did not want any to occur.

"At the current rate, next month’s Gold Coins’ revenue should increase a bit more."

"However, the population of the Northern Province is still too small and needs further expansion. I wonder how Rajos’ arrangements are going?"

Mumbling to himself, Thor fell into deep thought.

During this time, even as the Eagle Merchant Association expanded, he hadn’t forgotten about territorial construction.

For territory construction to reach a certain level, population was indispensable.

So far, the population of the Northern Province was still too small, even with the supplement from dozens of nobles before; it was still not enough.

So, a few months ago, Thor had Rajos Assad negotiate with the Assad Family to establish a new trade route.

The purpose was to purchase a large number of slaves.

Though Marquis Reman had quite a few slaves.

But one, the quantity was not necessarily enough, and two, the price was too high.

Now that Marquis Reman had lost control over the Northern Province, and with his strength enough, it was only natural to get involved in this industry.

He had previously liberated slaves, but that did not mean he opposed slavery.

As the lowest-cost, highest-value transaction of all trades, anyone would be tempted.

Slave trading alone could provide Marquis Reman with over a hundred thousand Gold Coins every year.

Be it for profitability or pure construction, Thor could not abandon it.

It’s just that building a channel for slave trading was not that easy.

Besides, even the Dressrosa Family currently lacked the capability to participate; among Count’s Clans, the Assad Family was the only one qualified or already involved.
