Fantasy Lords: Starting with the Pioneer Knight.

Chapter 373 Tulip's Changes, Return to Territory

"Brother Morris!"

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

"Thor!"

There was also a hint of surprise in Morris's expression.

The figure rode over quickly.

"Brother Morris, long time no see!"

Thor spoke with a smile.

"Thor, why are you here?"

Morris's voice sounded with surprise.

"Something happened."

"Brother Morris, why are you here too? Shouldn't your territory be in the eastern part of the North?"

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

The person in front of him was his elder brother.

Because of his own affairs a few years ago, this one chose to leave the family and become a pioneer knight again.

A few years ago, thanks to that incident, his brother even became a baron.

"I accepted an escort mission from the Eagle Chamber of Commerce to the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom, and I just returned."

Morris smiled and spoke.

"I see!"

Thor nodded.

Not too surprising.

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

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

It's not surprising that this happened.

The two dismounted.

Walking and talking.

Of course this is mainly told by Morris.

In the past few years as a pioneer knight, his changes are undoubtedly the most significant.

Not only did his strength break through to the peak of the Great Knight and become only one step away from becoming the Earth Knight, his temperament also obviously changed a lot.

Compared to being within the family, the North can be said to be a place that truly trains people.

Although the Dressrosa family already has a huge influence at this moment, and the influence of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce has spread to most of the Northern Territory, this is not a family after all. There are families that do not give face to the Dressrosa family or the Eagle Chamber of Commerce.

Not to mention the orcs in the north.

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

In fact, there are also a large number of orcs and monsters.

Most of these orcs and monsters were at level three or even lower. The Empire's legions did not have the energy to clear them out one by one, and this undoubtedly posed a considerable threat to the Northern Frontier Pioneer Knights.

The two were talking.

Thor also gradually understood the living conditions of his brother in the North during this period.

It is indeed very difficult.

But the gains are also great.

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

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

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

Thor sighed.

Morris was even more emotional.

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

However, when he arrived at the northern border.

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

That was even a myth to him.

Just a few years.

My younger brother is rising rapidly and even leaving everyone else far behind.

Up to now, my brother not only controls the entire Northern Province, but the power of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce has also spread to the three northern kingdoms of Purple Gold Flower and Blazing.

The strength of his company made his scalp tingle.

There are actually quite a few Earth Knights.

Among them there is even one who surpasses the Sky Knight.

That's right, it surpassed the Sky Knight.

half year ago.

There was a riot in the North.

Even the defenders of the Northern Legion suffered a crushing defeat.

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

Thinking of that figure, Morris looked at Thor with admiration in his eyes.

Not to mention.

My younger brother rose from a pioneer knight to an earl in just a few years.

Earl, that's a Earl.

Before, my father was only an earl.

Their Dressrosa family is only a count family.

As a result, after a few years, his brother had reached this level.

Predictably, this is definitely not the point.

Marquis, or even higher.

Every time these thoughts came to his mind, his breathing became heavy.

"By the way, Brother Morris, there are no problems in the North at the moment, right?"

As Morris was sighing, Thor seemed to have thought of something and asked with curiosity.

"No, no!"

Morris was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and nodded quickly.

Just nodded.

Morris hesitated again.

"what happened?"

Thor spoke subconsciously, with a hint of curiosity on his face.

"Nothing, there was a riot in the North half a year ago, but fortunately with your guardian knight, Thor, it was resolved quickly."

Morris hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

"turmoil?"

Thor raised his brows and his expression became solemn.

"Correct!"

"Half a year ago, the orcs in the north suddenly went crazy for some reason and attacked our northern territory crazily. The commander of the northern army was seriously injured, but fortunately, Ryan happened to be here at the time and the situation was resolved quickly."

Morris nodded slightly and explained to Thor.

"It's this one thing!"

Thor nodded involuntarily after listening to Morris' words.

Ryan had explained it to him before, but not in detail.

Only at this moment did he realize that the previous turmoil was greater than he had imagined.

"Yes, after that incident, the orcs retreated, and there weren't any major problems afterwards."

Morris nodded slightly and spoke with certainty.

"I see."

"Thank you, Brother Morris!"

"By the way, Brother Morris, you should be about to break through to the Earth Knight, right?"

Thor nodded again, pondered for a moment, looked at Morris, and asked in a low voice.

"It should be soon!"

“It may take a few years.”

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

"Here's this for you, Brother Morris. It should be able to speed up your practice."

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

"This is?"

Morris looked a little confused, and his eyes were 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 Morris, break through and improve your physical condition."

Thor smiled and spoke.

This bottle of potion was naturally taken 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 did not forget that there were still many people in the territory who needed to improve their talents.

Especially Steve and Perros. Without external forces, these Earth Knights are almost at their limit, and it is almost impossible to break through the Sky Knights.

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

Life Essence is undoubtedly the best choice.

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

Just like the twenty or so people who followed him to the Elf Kingdom, their talents had all undergone more or less significant transformations.

Let alone breaking through the Sanctuary in the future, at least Sky Knight will not be a problem.

As Steve and Pelos were the ones who followed Thor in the early days, Thor naturally could not forget them.

"Life essence?"

Hearing Thor's words, Morris was also confused at first, but he quickly reacted. His pupils widened and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.

The essence of life.

Morris naturally knew what it was.

It's just that he hadn't thought of going up there before.

When he suddenly thought of this at this moment, even his body couldn't help but shudder.

"This this!"

"This is so precious!"

"Thor!"

Morris spoke hurriedly, waving his hand to refuse.

"Don't worry, I went to the Elf Kingdom this time, and I still have this thing. If Brother Morris feels guilty, I can just lend it to you temporarily."

Thor smiled and shook his head, speaking softly.

"this!"

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

"Let's go!"

"We are brothers."

"By the way, we should be close to your territory, right? Why don't you take me to have a look?"

Thor smiled and grabbed Morris's neck.

"Thank you very much!"

Morris spoke softly, feeling deeply moved.

How precious is the essence of life, and how great its influence is.

With this bottle of life essence, not only he, but even his offspring’s talents will be rapidly improved.

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

And the Breakthrough Earth Knight has reached its limit.

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

Thor actually gave it to him directly.

And that’s a full ten drops.

It's almost hard to express my gratitude.

"Hahaha, we are brothers, what are you thanking me for?"

"Let's go!"

Thor smiled and shook his head.

Then he followed Morris towards the eastern part of the North.

Five days later.

The group arrived at Morris's territory.

This is a territory located in a river valley at the foot of the mountains.

At this moment a towering castle is being processed.

A high wall surrounds a small town of thousands of people.

Outside the wall are stretches of farmland.

The golden ears of wheat sway in the evening breeze, and it can be predicted that this will be a bumper year.

"Brother Morris, it seems that your territory is developing well!"

“And here, it’s very easy to expand.”

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

"Hahaha, I'm lucky!"

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

Morris shook his head somewhat embarrassedly.

He knew very well that he was able to develop because, on the one hand, he was lucky enough, and on the other hand, he had the Eagle Chamber of Commerce.

Otherwise he is in this place.

Basic supplies are a problem, let alone development.

Thor smiled and said nothing more.

And when everyone walked in.

A group of knights were already welcoming them in the distance.

The leader was a noble lady.

She was holding a little boy in her hands.

Thor's eyes lit up, a little surprised.

"Father!"

Seeing Morris and the others, the Knights quickly came over, and a childish voice was heard from a distance.

"That's my wife, Benita Lux, and my son, Beru!"

Morris smiled and spoke.

Thor smiled and nodded.

The two groups of people approached quickly.

The small figure flew directly over.

Morris picked him up immediately.

"Benita, let me introduce you. This is my brother Tordresrosa, whom I have been telling you about."

Morris smiled and introduced himself to his wife.

Thor also greeted with a smile.

Benita Lux is a gentle woman.

They also showed great enthusiasm towards the arrival of Thor and his party.

Thor and others entered Morris's territory in this way.

Enter the territory.

Only then did Thor feel that the territory was even more unusual.

In other words, Morris's territory model seems to be based on his Eagle Ridge model.

Everything is like that.

And Morris's territory was even larger than he had imagined.

The number of people is estimated to be around 7,000 to 8,000.

Among them, there are more than one hundred members of the Knights.

Among the Baron Knights, such a force is not weak at all, which even surprised Thor.

It is obvious that over the past few years, his elder brother has put a lot of effort into the construction and development of the territory.

Only in this way can we reach such a scale.

And stayed in Morris territory for almost three days.

Thor chose to say goodbye.

Depart from Morris Territory.

The journey back to Eagle Ridge in the northern province would undoubtedly be shorter.

In just less than five days, the group traveled across the northern border and arrived at the Northern Province.

This was because Thor took a detour in order to harvest a group of butterfly fish. Otherwise, it would have been even closer to return to the Northern Province from the Morris Territory.

And arrived in the Northern Province.

It would be even faster to return to Eagle Ridge.

In three days, Thor and his crew returned to Eagle Ridge.

Now, more than a year has passed since he left Eagle Ridge.

Over the past year or so, Thor's strength has undergone earth-shaking changes, leaping from the strength of a half-step saint to the current divine realm.

Not even just him.

Even Marco and others he brought with him saw tremendous improvements.

At the same time, Elvira's strength had just broken through to the fifth level, and she was only one step away from the sixth level.

In the past year and a half, the entire Eagle Ridge has undergone tremendous changes.

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

The population has skyrocketed.

At this moment, from a distance, the scale of Eagle City is completely comparable to that of Pat City, and it even seems to be larger.

At the same time, the original small path was transformed into a wide avenue wide enough for ten carriages to run side by side.

On the road, countless caravans and knights traveled in an endless stream.
