Chapter 565 - 328: Targeting the Three Northern Territory Nations, the Fuming Elf
The construction of Eagle Ridge has already started, and if everything goes smoothly, there shouldn’t be any issues unless either he or Reine encounters trouble.
In this way, his focus naturally shifted to the expansion of the Eagle Merchant Association.
Not only Pelos, but even Steve and Reine will be arranged to join the Eagle Merchant Association after some time in the future, to assist the association’s expansion towards the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom and the Blazing Kingdom.
After all, compared to the Tulip Kingdom, the Blazing Kingdom might be fine, but the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom is generally stronger than the Tulip Kingdom. Without sufficient strength, expanding the entire Eagle Merchant Association is nothing short of a fool’s dream.
Inside the study.
After responding, Pelos left the room.
Meanwhile, Thor fell into deep thought.
"Knock knock!"
A crisp knocking sound came from the study, as Thor’s fingers unconsciously tapped on the desk.
No one knows how long it took.
And no one knows how long it lasted.
"Phew!"
Thor exhaled a breath of stale air, gathering his thoughts back.
His gaze refocused on the official documents before him.
He started to handle the matters.
Due to the expansion of territory, some affairs, no matter how the civil servants managed them, eventually had to converge on Thor.
However, such minor tasks were not too big of a problem for him.
He only needed to spend an hour each day to resolve them.
Today was no exception.
After completing the tasks, Thor checked the time, then got up. The maid helped him wash up, and he began to rest.
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.
In this month, under Thor’s arrangements, the expansion of the Eagle Merchant Association began. Pelos joined the association thoroughly, and even Steve, after finishing some Knight Order constructions, was dispatched there.
Additionally, a large number of Great Knights were involved.
Yes, a large number of Great Knights.
With the supply of low-level Life Potions in the territory, the number of Earth Knights didn’t increase, but the number of Great Knights was considerable. At this moment, these Great Knights were just coming in handy.
The morning sun shone.
A large convoy slowly departed under the watchful eyes of Thor and others.
Destination, the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom.
Their sole objective was to open up the market there and bring greater profits to the Eagle Merchant Association.
Everyone could not help but feel a mix of anxiety and anticipation.
The anxiety was because even ordinary knights knew the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom was far stronger than the Tulip Kingdom, and they might face many crises in exploration. The anticipation was due to Rajos Assad and Thor offering them the greatest promises. If they could earn enough merits this time, they could indeed soar high. How could they not be excited about that?
Even in Eagle Ridge, to have a broader future requires seizing the opportunity themselves.
This moment was undoubtedly their chance.
Watching the convoy travel into the distance, Thor let out a long breath.
For him, such a choice was also akin to a major gamble.
Compared to the Tulip Kingdom, he had no foundations in the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom or the Blazing Kingdom.
If it goes wrong, this attempt might be in vain.
Not to mention, he invested a lot in this attempt.
Not only were there Steve and Pelos, two Earth Knights, Rajos Assad personally participated.
Moreover, there were extensive supplies.
Included were items redeemed from the Kingdom.
A loss, even Thor found it hard to accept.
But he had to take this step.
His goal wasn’t just a Count or a Marquis. If it were just those titles, he could simply expand within the Tulip Kingdom.
Even if expansion faced hurdles, over time, with the Empire’s support, it would eventually spread out.
But his goal was a more expansive future, requiring him to venture out earlier. Starting the layout now is undoubtedly the best option compared to doing so later.
At least it won’t attract too much attention.
And it offers him a suitable environment for growth.
Of course, others did not yet know this.
The morning sun gradually spread.
"Let’s go!"
Opening his eyes, Thor whispered softly, then his figure walked back to the castle.
He still had a lot of matters to handle next.
But his thoughts didn’t immerse too deeply into this.
Especially for this adventure; he’s done everything he could.
Even writing a letter to the Anubi family and involving Joz Anubi, a descendant of the Anubi family, accompanying them.
Beyond this, he couldn’t do any more.
He could only wait for the results.
As he returned to the castle, Thor continued to manage related affairs.
Soon, two more days passed.
Until the third day.
The morning sun shone.
Thor, just like usual, prepared to finish his Knight’s Training before entering Canaan Academy.
In a corner of the castle.
Two maidens were conversing.
"Hey, Anna, that guy must have forgotten."
"It’s been so long since he returned."
