Chapter 107 Rise in fame and breakthrough as a great knight
Four months have passed, and the number of ruined lords and escaped lords in the entire Northland Province has exceeded hundreds. Naturally, these nobles have gathered in Loren City, either homeless or waiting for opportunities. .
Naturally, the entire city of Loren became lively.
Just the gathering of a large number of people has also led to a rapid increase in the prices of various materials in Loren City.
Especially, the rising prices of basic commodities such as food have reached an extremely exaggerated level.
In addition, housing prices in residential areas have also begun to rise.
The house that Thor purchased before, if it were sold now, the price would have more than tripled.
Of course it is impossible to sell Thor at this moment.
After all, he does not lack those few gold coins.
On the street, he entered with his troops.
It quickly attracted a lot of people’s attention.
On the one hand, Thor has a lot of troops, over a hundred people and more than fifty carriages.
At this scale alone, not many pioneer lords can compare even in Loren City.
Not to mention, Thor and his group not only include high knights, but also more than twenty formal knights and more than fifty trainee knights.
“Which lord is this?”
“Mark, that symbol seems to be the Dressrosa family!”
"Yes, it is indeed the Dressrosa family."
"My God, this group of people is probably no less powerful than some baron families."
"Hey, you didn't know this. This man was already canonized as a baron a few months ago."
“Coned a baron, could this one be that Eagle Lord!”
“That is the one.”
“You don’t know, this Eagle Lord is extremely dazzling these days!”
“Dazzling?”
"Yes, do you know about the purge mission? This Lord of the Eagle Land united five surrounding baron lords to form an alliance called the Maine Alliance, and took over the kingdom's purge mission. In the past four months, We wiped out a large number of goblins. Did you see those carts of goods? They are probably the spoils of the fight."
“The League of Maine, the baron lords will actually ally themselves.”
“Yes, this is simply unbelievable. I didn’t believe it at first, but it is indeed true.”
"Yes, indeed, they have really formed an alliance. A friend of mine has seen their alliance with his own eyes."
“Tsk, tsk, so many carriages, how much wealth will this bring?”
"Yes, I heard that the orc tribes are very rich, and they have a lot of meritorious service in wiping out the orc tribes. I don't know how much meritorious service this Eagle Lord has received."
There were many voices mixed together. Facing Thor's mighty men and horses, many people cast their eyes over, and from time to time there were voices talking to each other.
It contains jealousy, envy, and longing.
There is no way. Compared to the destruction of their own territory and their own escape, Thor has gained a huge gain.
Most people are somewhat unbalanced in their hearts.
Thor didn’t care too much about this.
Most of these lords who lost their territories have been eliminated.
The strong naturally do not need to care about the eyes of the weak.
As for his reputation.
With his campaigns in the past four months, his reputation as Tordressrosa and the Maine Alliance has already spread.
Not to mention in other places.
At least in the north and east, it has gained quite a reputation.
On the one hand, he has never had a territorial alliance, and on the other hand, he saved many noble lords during the purge in the north.
These people, either out of gratitude or out of emotion, are actively promoting the Maine League and the Eagle Territory.
If before, when he stepped into Loren City, the most known reason for him was Dressrosa, then now when he steps into Loren City, everyone knows him more as the Lord of the Eagle Territory and the founder of the Maine Alliance. .
At this moment, he became famous throughout the Northland Province.
“Lord Thor!”
“Lord Thor!”
Thoughts were flowing, and as the people and horses were gradually advancing, a hesitant voice sounded.
Thor stopped subconsciously and looked over.
It was a knightly group of about twenty or thirty people.
When some familiar faces came into view, Thor couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then spoke with a smile.
“His Excellency, Baron April Niang!”
Thor spoke with a smile.
“Sir Thor, it’s really you!”
“It’s such an honor to meet you in Loren City!”
April Niang hurriedly rode over, with a voice of surprise.
“Your Excellency, Baron April Niang, you are too kind!”
Thor smiled and nodded.
“Let’s go, Sir Thor. The territory was hit last time and I haven’t been able to thank you properly. How about going for a drink?”
April Niang spoke.
“Thank you very much!”
Thor hesitated slightly, looked at Ren next to him, and then nodded in agreement.
Then he gave an order to Ren.
His figure followed Baron April Niang towards the tavern.
The barony of April Niang is the closest to the north, and it is also a good place to understand the situation in the entire north in the past ten days after he left.
In the tavern.
The two of them sat down.
Then conversation began.
Baron April Niang told about the situation in the entire north after Thor left, and Thor listened carefully.
As he imagined, the situation was not optimistic.
Even though the territory of Baron April Niang has been attacked by the orc tribe twice in the past ten days, fortunately, Baron April Niang purchased a lot of weapons and equipment from Lajos. Resisted.
Even though we resisted, the losses were still extremely heavy.
This time, come to Loren City.
On the one hand, Baron April Niang wanted to see if he could hire some knights from the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce. On the other hand, he also wanted to see if there were any opportunities in Loren City.
He needs to find a way out for his own territory.
Hold on, even he feels a little unconfident.
“Employment in the Hubbs Chamber of Commerce is not only expensive now, but it will also be difficult to hire!”
Listening to Baron April Niang's words, Thor couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.
"Yes, I just inquired about it. The hiring price of a great knight has doubled, and you still need to queue up."
Baron April Niang felt helpless and also sighed.
He could still bear the price twice as much.
The problem is, even if he pays double the price, it will be difficult to hire someone.
Now in the entire city of Loren, the lords who want to hire the high knights of the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce can queue up from the Qiuye Territory to the city of Loren. He, Baron April Niang, does not have the ability to jump in the queue.
“Sir Thor, with all due respect, can you?”
Baron April Niang couldn’t help but look at Thor, and spoke hesitantly.
The key point of why he called Thor was to see if he could seek help from this man.
"Your Excellency Baron April Niang, this is difficult. You know that it is not just the north that is in turmoil now, but the entire Northland Province. The Eagle Territory does not have much power."
Thor did not wait for Baron April Niang to speak, but shook his head to express his refusal.
joke.
Let’s not say that Baron April Niang is not familiar with him.
Even if you are very familiar with it.
In the current turbulent situation. Supporting the opponent's great knight is completely nonsense.
“I took the liberty!”
April Niang was a little depressed and couldn't help but nodded.
There was some silence in the tavern for a while.
Thor did not continue to speak.
The same is true for April Niang.
A moment later.
The two had a brief conversation, and April Niang chose to leave.
Watching April Niang leave, Thor frowned slightly.
Even with the short message, Thor felt the situation in the entire north was in great turmoil.
April Niang is not weak in strength. There are not only two great knights in the territory, but also hundreds of knights, including more than 30 formal knights.
But even with such strength, it is somewhat unsustainable, and it is conceivable that other territories will be unable to hold on.
Perhaps more territories were destroyed than he imagined.
With a sense of contemplation and solemnity, Thor slowly returned to his station.
In the residence.
Rene has already returned.
“Sir, we have contacted the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce. For our batch of supplies, the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce is willing to pay 3,200 gold coins.”
Watching Thor return, Renn quickly stepped forward and gave a respectful report.
“Three thousand two hundred gold coins?”
“Are you sure?”
Thor's consciousness came back instantly, and he spoke with an unexpected voice.
“Yes, it’s three thousand two hundred gold coins!”
Ryan nodded.
Looking at Ren's expression, Thor was really a little surprised.
This batch of supplies is naturally worth three thousand gold coins.
But the problem is only the value. As a monopoly, the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce can usually offer a price of 30%, which is already very conscientious.
He estimated that the supplies Thor brought could only be sold for about a thousand gold coins. As for three thousand gold coins, he had never thought about it. It was simply impossible.
But this time, the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce actually quoted three thousand gold coins.
Surprised, Thor's brows could not help but frown slightly.
Just quickly, he shook his head again.
He didn't know what the Habs Chamber of Commerce was thinking about, but this was indeed a good thing for him.
Three thousand gold coins, of which he can get at least 1,500 gold coins, which is considered an extra income.
Fifteen hundred gold coins can buy a lot of things.
“Ren, let’s deliver according to this!”
“In addition, you will take Mark with you tomorrow to purchase two thousand strong male slaves and five hundred female slaves.”
“In addition, you can also look at the entire city of Loren to see if you can get some masons and blacksmiths.”
With his thoughts flowing, Thor immediately gave the order.
"yes!"
Ryan nodded in agreement.
Thor waved his hand.
Wren then withdrew.
At this moment, the sky was gradually getting darker.
Thor also temporarily put aside other thoughts and began to practice.
The night gradually passed.
When the morning sun shines.
A new day has arrived again.
On the bed, Thor opened his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes.
He only felt that the life force in his body began to surge.
And a layer of icy aura was spreading around him.
On the ground, a layer of light frost has formed. The cold air spreads, and white mist rises.
"This is?"
Feeling the surging life force in his body, Thor was stunned for a moment, and then a surprise inevitably appeared on his face.
Then I didn’t dare to be negligent in the slightest.
The figure began to quickly perform the Knight's Breathing Technique.
Operates with the Knight's Breathing Technique.
“Boom!”
A terrifying aura rose up from Thor's body.
Suddenly, waves of cold air suddenly spread.
The cold breath spreads again.
A layer of white frost spread to the entire room almost at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even spreading towards the outside world.
The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped.
Early in the morning, Renn was originally going to take Mark to the slave market to purchase slaves and deliver the goods, but at this moment he seemed to feel something. His pupils couldn't help but shrink, and then a touch of surprise appeared on his face. .
“Wait a minute!”
“Sir, a breakthrough has been made!”
Ryan spoke, and the next moment he ran directly to Thor's room.
This made several knights around him feel confused.
But soon, they also reacted.
“Da, your lord has made a breakthrough!”
“Lord Ren, what did you just say?”
“Knight Ren said, Your Excellency has broken through!”
"This this!"
“Hurry, hurry!”
There was some commotion in the Knights, and soon many knights began to gather at Thor's location.
When they arrived, the biting cold air made them shiver instinctively.
It was just a shiver, and soon everyone's expressions were replaced by surprise.
And Renne at the front is undoubtedly even more surprised.
The figure is moving back and forth.
Her eyes kept looking towards the room.
In the room at this moment.
The coldness in Thor's body has spread throughout his body.
The cold energy of the life seed in the body has spread to the whole body, and the heart has turned into crystal blue ice.
The source of life force is even more thoroughly infiltrated.
More than half a month has passed, and now he has finally reached the peak of formal knighthood, only half a step away from being a great knight.
As long as he crosses over, he can truly become a great knight.
And due to the ice attribute, his knights will far exceed those of ordinary knights.
