Fantasy Lords: Starting with the Pioneer Knight

Chapter 373: Changes in Tulip, Return to Territory

 “Brother Maurice!”

Thor's expression was filled with surprise as he looked at the familiar figure in front of him who was obviously a bit weathered.

 “Thor!”

Morris also had a hint of surprise in his expression.

The figure quickly rode over.

 “Long time no see, Brother Maurice!”

Thor spoke with a smile.

 “Thor, why are you here?”

Morris said with a surprised voice.

 “Something happened.”

“Brother Maurice, why are you here? Shouldn’t your territory be in the eastern part of the North?”

Thor smiled and shook his head, then spoke with confusion.

The man in front of him is his brother.

 Due to his incident a few years ago, this man chose to leave his family and become a pioneer knight again.

 A few years ago, with the help of that incident, my brother even became a baron in one fell swoop.

“I accepted an **** mission from the Eagle Chamber of Commerce to the Purple Flower Kingdom, and I just returned.”

Morris smiled and spoke.

"I see!"

Thor nodded.

  Not too surprised.

Today's Eagle Chamber of Commerce has truly become a giant in the north. Even if Morris becomes a baron, if he wants to develop enough, he must have contact with the Eagle Chamber of Commerce.

Not to mention, Maurice is a member of the Dressrosa family, and Thor has already opened the corresponding permissions.

 It is not surprising that this scene happened.

 The two dismounted.

 Walking and talking.

 Of course this is mainly the story told by Morris.

 In the few years since he became a pioneer knight, his changes have undoubtedly been the most dramatic.

His strength has not only reached the peak of the Great Knight in one fell swoop, but is only one step away from the Earth Knight. His temperament has also obviously changed a lot.

 Compared to being within the family, the northern border can be said to be a place where people can really train themselves.

Although the Dressrosa family already has huge influence at this moment, and the influence of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce has spread to most of the northern border, this is not a family after all. It will not give the Dressrosa family or the Eagle Chamber of Commerce face. It's not like the family doesn't exist.

　　Not to mention the orcs in the north.

Although the orcs have retreated north, it does not mean that there are no orcs in the north.

 In fact, there are still quite a few orcs and warcraft.

Most of these orcs and warcraft are of the third level, or even lower than the third level. The empire's legion does not have the intention to clean them all, and this undoubtedly poses a considerable threat to the Northern Frontier Knights.

 The two of them were talking.

Thor also gradually became clear about his brother's living conditions in the north.

　　It is indeed very difficult.

But the harvest is also great.

 Based on the current situation, Thor feels that even if nothing else happens, his brother should have hope of breaking through to the Earth Knight within five years.

Even in today's Dressrosa family, it is not easy to break through the Earth Knights at such a young age.

This is not just a resource issue, there are other issues as well.

Thor sighed.

Morris was even more emotional.

 Originally, when he heard the legend of Thor in his family, he already felt incredible.

 However, when he arrived at the northern border.

Only then did he realize how great his younger brother was.

That is nothing more than a myth to him.

 Just a few years.

 My younger brother has risen rapidly and even surpassed the rest of the world.

 At present, his younger brother not only controls the entire Northland Province, but also the power of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce has spread to Zijinhua and the three northern kingdoms.

The strength of the banner made his scalp feel numb.

 There are actually several Earth Knights.

 There is even an existence beyond the Sky Knight among them.

 That's right, it surpassed Sky Knight.

half year ago.

 There was a riot in the north.

 Even the defenders of the northern legion were directly defeated.

A knight in his brother's territory took action and defeated his opponent with just one move.

Thinking of that figure, Morris couldn't help but look at Thor with a look of admiration in his eyes.

Not to mention.

 My younger brother, he rose from a pioneering knight to an earl in just a few years.

Earl, that’s a count.

　　Previously, my father was also an earl.

 The Dressrosa family is also a count family.

 As a result, within a few years, my younger brother had reached this level.

  It can be expected that this is definitely not the point.

 Marquis, or higher.

His breathing became heavy every time these thoughts appeared.

“By the way, Brother Maurice, there are no problems in the north right now, right?”

While Morris was sighing, Thor seemed to have thought of something and asked curiously.

 “No, no!”

Morris was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and nodded quickly.

 Just after nodding.

Morris hesitated again.

"What's wrong?"

Thor spoke subconsciously, with a hint of curiosity in his expression.

"It's nothing. There was a turmoil in the north half a year ago, but fortunately, Thor, your guardian knight, was there and it was resolved quickly."

Morris pondered for a moment and then spoke.

 “Unrest?”

Thor raised his brows, and his expression became solemn.

"right!"

"Half a year ago, the orcs in the north suddenly went crazy for some unknown reason and attacked our northern territory crazily. The commander of the northern legion couldn't help but be seriously injured, but fortunately Renne happened to be here at the time. , it was resolved quickly.”

Morris nodded slightly and explained to Thor.

 “It’s this thing!”

 Listening to Morris's words, Thor couldn't help but nod.

Ryan explained it to him before, but it was not detailed.

At this moment, he realized that the previous turmoil was greater than he imagined.

"Yes, after that time, the orcs retreated, and there were no big problems later."

Morris nodded slightly and spoke with certainty.

"I see."

 “Thank you, Brother Maurice!”

“By the way, Brother Maurice, he should be about to break through the Earth Knights, right?”

Thor nodded again, looked at Morris after a moment of thought, and asked softly.

 “It should be soon!”

 “It might take a few more years.”

Morris was a little surprised, but still nodded and answered.

“I’ll give this to you, Brother Maurice. It should speed up your practice.”

Thor thought for a moment and took out a bottle of potion from his arms.

"This is?"

Morris looked a little confused, and his eyes involuntarily focused on the potion on Thor's body.

“There should be about ten drops of life essence here, which is enough to help you, Brother Maurice, break through and improve your physique.”

Thor smiled and spoke.

 This bottle of potion was naturally brought by him from the Ancient Tree of Life.

 The elves didn’t have much objection to his acceptance.

 So Thor simply took some and brought them back.

 He has not forgotten that there are still many people in the territory who need to improve their talents.

Especially Steve and Perlos. Without external force, these Earth Knights would be almost at their limit, and it would be almost impossible to break through the Sky Knights.

 And this is definitely not what Thor is willing to accept.

 Essence of Life is undoubtedly the best choice.

 Not only can it speed up your practice, but it can also improve your talent.

Just like the more than twenty people who followed him to the Elf Kingdom, their talents have more or less transformed at this moment.

  Let alone breaking through the Holy Domain in the future, at least the Sky Knights will not have a big problem.

 As Steve and Pelos who followed Thor in the early days, Thor naturally cannot forget it.

 “Essence of life?”

Hearing Thor's words, Morris was equally confused at first, but soon realized, his pupils could not help but widen, and there was disbelief in his expression.

 Essence of life.

 Morris naturally knew what it was.

 It's just that he didn't think of going up there before.

At this moment, he suddenly thought that even his body could not help but tremble.

"This this!"

 “This is so precious!”

 “Thor!”

Morris spoke hurriedly and waved his hand to refuse.

“Don’t worry, I went to the Elf Kingdom this time and I still have this thing. If Brother Maurice feels guilty, I can just lend it to you temporarily.”

Thor shook his head with a smile and spoke softly.

"this!"

 Listening to Thor's words, Morris's expression kept changing.

 “Let’s go!”

 “We are brothers.”

“By the way, we should be approaching your territory right now. Don’t you want to take me to see you?”

Thor said with a smile, and directly blocked Maurice's neck.

 “Thank you very much!”

Morris spoke softly, feeling deeply moved in his heart.

 The essence of life is so precious and its effect is so great.

 With this bottle of life essence, not only him, but also the talents of his descendants can be rapidly improved.

If he wanted to break through the Earth Knight before, it would have taken four or five years.

 And the Breakthrough Earth Knight has reached its limit.

The emergence of the essence of life at this moment gave him the possibility to step into a higher level.

Thor actually gave it to him directly.

 And it’s a full ten drops.

This gratitude is almost difficult to express.

 “Hahaha, we are brothers, what are you thankful for?”

 “Let’s go!”

Thor smiled and shook his head.

Then followed Morris towards the eastern part of the north.

 Five days later.

 The group arrived at Maurice's territory.

This is a territory located in a valley at the foot of a mountain range.

At this moment, a towering castle is being treated.

 High walls surrounded a small town of thousands of people.

 Beyond the fence are contiguous farmlands.

 The golden wheat ears are swaying in the evening wind, and it can be predicted that this will be a good harvest year.

 “Brother Maurice, it seems that your territory is developing well!”

 “And here, it’s easy to expand.”

Thor couldn't help but be a little surprised. He glanced at Morris and spoke with admiration.

 “Hahaha, better luck!”

“And thanks to Thor and your Eagle Chamber of Commerce, otherwise it would not be so easy to develop here.”

Morris shook his head in embarrassment.

 He knows very well that he can develop because he is lucky enough and has the Eagle Chamber of Commerce on the other hand.

 Otherwise this is his place.

 Basic supplies are a problem, let alone development.

Thor smiled and did not continue to say anything.

 When everyone walked in.

 A knights group was already greeting them in the distance.

 The leader is a lady.

 In his hand was a little boy.

Thor's eyes lit up, a little surprised.

"Father!"

Seeing Morris and others, the knights quickly came over, and the sound of milky milk came from the distance.

 “That’s my wife Benita Lux, and my son Beru!”

Morris smiled and spoke.

Thor smiled and nodded.

 The two men and horses approached quickly.

 The small figure flew over directly.

Morris hugged him directly.

“Benita, let me introduce to you, this is my brother Tordressrosa who I have been telling you about.”

Morris smiled and introduced himself to his wife.

Thor also greeted him with a smile.

 Benita Lax is a gentle woman.

Facing the arrival of Thor and his party, he also expressed great enthusiasm.

In this way, Thor and others entered Morris's territory.

 Enter the territory.

Thor felt that the territory was even more unusual.

 In other words, Morris’ territorial model seems to be based on his Eagle Ridge model.

 Everything is like that.

And Morris's territory was larger than he imagined.

The number of people is estimated to be around seven or eight thousand.

 There are more than one hundred members of the Knights.

 In the Baron Knights, such a force is not weak at all, which makes Thor feel a little surprised.

 Obviously, over the past few years, my brother has put a lot of effort into the construction and development of the territory.

 Only in this way can it reach such a scale.

 And stayed in Morris Territory for almost three days.

 Thor chose to leave.

 Leaving from Morris Territory.

The journey back to Eagle Ridge in the Northland Province will undoubtedly be shorter.

In less than five days, the group of people came across the northern border and arrived in the Northland Province.

This is because Thor took a detour in order to harvest a group of spiny butterfly fish, otherwise it would be much closer to return to the Northland Province from the Morris Territory.

 And arrived in the Northland Province.

 It would be faster to return to Eagle Ridge.

Within three days, Thor and his team returned to Eagle Ridge.

At this moment, more than a year has passed since he left Eagle Ridge.

Over the past year or so, Thor's strength can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes, from the strength of the half-step holy realm to the current divine realm.

 It’s not even just him.

Even Marco and the others he brought with him have undergone tremendous improvement.

At the same time, Elvira's strength has also broken through to the fifth level, and is only one step away from the sixth level.

 In one and a half years, the entire Xiongying Ridge has undergone tremendous changes.

 The original Eagle Ridge, no, it should be called Eagle City now, has almost doubled in size.

 The population has increased dramatically.

At this moment, I saw from a distance that the scale of Eagle City is completely comparable to that of Pat City, and even vaguely exceeds it.

 At the same time, the original trail has also become a broad avenue that can accommodate ten carriages.

On the road, countless caravans and knights passed through them in an endless stream.
