Fantasy Lords: Starting with the Pioneer Knight Chapter 144

Chapter 144: The Opportunity of “Divine Revelation”

 Outside Eagle Town.

Thor soon saw Tono and his party from a distance. This time Tono did not bring many people, only about twenty horses.

 It was dusty and it was obvious that he was on a fast journey.

 When they saw Thor and his group, Tono and his group gradually slowed down.

 Then dismount.

 “Second brother!”

Thor took the lead to greet them.

 “Thor!”

Tuno couldn't help but smile.

 The two hugged each other heavily.

During the conversation, everyone quickly walked into the castle.

Thor spoke with a smile.

 Soon, under the guidance of Thor, everyone walked into the town.

Tuno had a hint of curiosity on his face.

Thor was stunned for a moment, a little confused.

 There was no reaction for a moment.

 This was the first time he had seen such a construction speed.

Tuno couldn't help but shake his head and spoke seriously.

Thor was stunned for a moment.

Tuno spoke and looked at Thor.

　　To this day, it has been less than two years since Thor fully calculated, and the scale and development status of the territory are no less than his own.

 “Brother, you will know in a few years.”

"Signaling?"

 It's just different from the past. This time, the banquet was not the first to start in the castle. Tono and Thor arrived in the study first.

"What's wrong?"

Thor smiled and shook his head.

Although he didn't have much hope for Tono to contact other Dressrosa families, logically there wouldn't be any problems.

 “Brother, you are overly praised!”

 Let everyone retreat.

 “I'm afraid it's not necessary!”

 “Thor, you are building your territory really fast!”

 “The situation is troublesome.”

Thor looked at his second brother, Tono.

“Thor, how is your father when you go back?”

"surprise?"

Tuno's expression gradually became solemn, and his brows could not help but frown.

Looking at the clusters of houses, the busy figures, and the contiguous farmland outside the town, Tono couldn't help but sigh.

"You came back from Father. Did you receive a message from Father on the way?"

Tuno smiled and nodded.

Tuno just sighed and quickly changed the topic to other aspects.

“This is not an exaggeration. I have seen many marquis' descendants develop territories, but it is difficult for them to be as fast as you are.”

“Maybe in a few years, there will be a surprise.”

Thor smiled.

There was something obviously wrong with Tono's reaction in front of him.

 “How is the situation?”

Tuno spoke with a memory.

It's hard to imagine how Thor did it.

Thor spoke mysteriously.

 “Father, everything is fine!”

 He has been in the Northland Province for more than ten years.

 “Hahaha, then I'll wait.”

“Ten days ago, my father sent me a letter. My father said that a divine revelation was about to occur in the Northland Province. He asked me if I would consider evacuating. The family would give me a corresponding atonement.”

 “Didn't you receive this?”

Tuno looked a little confused.

 In his opinion, his brother should have received the letter earlier.

 “This!”

“Father, you told me at home, but I refused.”

Thor was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing, shook his head and spoke with a chuckle.

"this!"

 “Thor, do you know what divine revelation is?”

"Every time a divine revelation occurs, there will be great turmoil in the continent. A hundred years ago, a divine revelation occurred in Nanyue Province, and more than 200,000 humans were buried. Sixty-eight years ago, there was one in the Blazing Kingdom, and more than 400,000 people were killed. The population was sacrificed.”

“Once a divine revelation occurs in the Northland Province, the disaster will be unimaginable. This is beyond our strength. Not even us, not even the Dressrosa family can handle it.”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 institutions

Tuno's eyes widened, and the next moment he looked a little anxious. He looked at Thor and spoke in a hurry.

He was afraid that Thor would not understand, so he told all the events of the divine revelation.

Even with the words, Tono felt a violent fluctuation in his heart.

During this period of time, this piece of information made him extremely uneasy and hesitant.

 Abandon the territory and the efforts of more than ten years to develop.

 He really doesn't want to, but the threat of divine revelation is real.

 Don't say anything else.

 In his understanding.

Those powerful noble lords have already begun to evacuate at this moment.

Even the two most powerful pioneer lords in the west are preparing to leave.

 This point is enough to illustrate the huge problem in this regard.

 “I know, my father has already told me.”

 “I've seen these too.”

 “But I don't think it's a big problem.”

"The book records a total of one hundred and three divine revelation events, and only seventy-three of them are extremely serious events. Most of these serious causes were caught off guard each time, and the major kingdoms did not pay attention, while the remaining Thirty times, it didn't have much impact. The reason was that the kingdom discovered it very quickly from the beginning.”

“Can we understand it this way? As long as divine revelation can be discovered in time, there won't be much of a problem. After all, in the entire continent, there has been no record of a divine visit in the past tens of thousands of years.”

Thor spoke slowly.

 Hearing Thor's words, Tuono, who was originally eager, couldn't help being stunned.

"this!"

　　Opening his mouth subconsciously, Tono didn't know what to say.

 My heart was ups and downs even more violently.

 Thoughts are constantly intertwined.

 Happiness, worry.

expect.

 He breathed a sigh of relief.

 All kinds of emotions are spreading.

 “Hoo!”

After a long time, Tono took a long breath and looked at Thor deeply.

The words rang out again.

"Seriously, Thor, you're still too crazy."

 “Are you sure you want to stay?”

Tuno spoke, still looking hesitant.

"Sure!"

"There is a future for me here. Even if there is even a slight chance, I will stay." Thor said seriously.

There are some things that he cannot tell, so he can only express them this way.

 After all, he can't expose his golden finger.

His greatest confidence is not this information, but the golden finger.

So far, Goldfinger has no danger warnings, which undoubtedly means that he is safe enough.

This alone is enough for him not to worry.

"Understood!"

"Indeed, Thor, you are right, there is a future that belongs to us here, and we cannot just give up."

 “I'll stay too.”

Tuno spoke seriously.

At this moment he also made up his mind.

 As Thor said, there is a future that belongs to them here, and they cannot give up like this.

 Try even if there is even a slight possibility.

 The territory can be given up, but what about the future?

 They lost their territory, even if they used the atonement money to retain their title, no one is sure how long it will take to get to where they are now if they want to start over, and whether there is still a chance.

Since Thor is willing to take a gamble, why wouldn't he, Tuono, not be willing to take the gamble?

 “Brother!”

Thor looked at Tono with some surprise. He didn't expect that his brother would be willing to stay.

"Thor, you don't have to look at me like that. Since you have just become a pioneer knight, you have courage, let alone me."

"And your nephew has been sent back to the family by me before, so I don't have to worry even if something happens."

Tuno said with a smile.

Hearing Tuono's words, Thor couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.

My brother is obviously not hot-headed either.

But he didn't pay too much attention to this.

 After all, the threat of divine revelation is real.

It's impossible to really block everything.

 Thono does not have the same golden fingers as him, so he is not sure what the outcome will be.

While lightly smiling and shaking his head, Thor seemed to have thought of something.

 Speak with a question.

“Brother, you said before that the powerful lords in the west have begun to evacuate. Is it true?”

Looking at Tono again.

Hearing Thor's words, Tono nodded slightly.

“Indeed, the evacuation has begun. As far as I know, the two powerful lords Spencer and Campbell are already showing signs of evacuating, and the descendants of several other powerful marquises are also showing signs of evacuating.”

Tuno nodded and slowly told what he had learned so far.

 While listening to his story, Thor couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

obviously.

 The Dressrosa family is not the only one who can find something wrong with the situation, notice the parchment, and interpret the parchment.

 Some other powerful families can more or less do it.

 In this way, it is difficult for the divine revelation to spread among the lower-level pioneer lords, but among the upper-level pioneer lords and noble lords, it is no longer a secret.

Thor has no doubt that the lords who want to evacuate are not even the only ones mentioned by Tuono.

 There will only be more.

 The threat of divine revelation is not that simple.

 Even if someone discovered the same pattern as him, who would dare to gamble.

 Let alone the pioneering lords, even the Marquis family may not have the courage to take a gamble.

 In this case, evacuation seems to be the only option.

 At least it can ensure that one's own strength will not suffer a devastating blow.

 Seriously, forget about them. Even Thor would not have insisted on coming without the daily intelligence system.

 “It seems that we are still very lucky.”

As his thoughts flowed, Thor's expression immediately turned into a chuckle.

"Lucky?"

Tuno couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, a little confused.

“Ren said, isn't the development of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce encountering obstacles?”

“Most of these obstacles come from these powerful pioneering lords!”

Thor explained with a chuckle.

"indeed!"

"Those guys are simply too much. They even set up checkpoints in the Northland Province and collected tax rates. For supplies worth one hundred gold coins, they dared to charge fifty gold coins, or even seventy or eighty gold coins."

Tuno nodded, and then he couldn't help but make an indignant voice.

But as he spoke, Tono suddenly paused and his eyes widened.

 Subconsciously want to speak.

But Thor's voice sounded ahead of time.

"Currently, only the top nobles should know the news. There is a high probability that only those top nobles will choose to evacuate. Moreover, these top nobles basically act secretly and will not attract too many people's attention. If they make a big fanfare, they may not be able to reduce much. loss."

“Brother, you can find that the Eagle Chamber of Commerce's income is declining this month.”

Thor's voice is long and graceful.

 What he said made Tono's eyes light up.

He knew that the Eagle Chamber of Commerce's income had decreased, but he just thought it was interference from the big nobles.

 But now as Thor was speaking, an idea flashed through his mind, and he instantly understood what was going on.

“Brother, go and ask someone to check if the level is still there.”

“Also, go and see how many noble lords are preparing to leave.”

“This time is our opportunity. Maybe our Dressrosa family can become the real king among the pioneering lords of the Northland Province in one fell swoop.”

Thor's eyes flashed and his words slowly sounded.

 Before, he was still thinking about how to solve this problem.

 In his previous thinking, it was almost difficult to solve the problem.

  In other words, there is no solution at all in a short time.

The joint restrictions of these nobles are caused by interests. Let alone whether he is willing to divide the interests, even if he is willing, these top nobles still look down upon the Eagle's small interests.

 So there is almost no solution.

Unexpectedly, when I was about to doze off, God would directly send me a pillow.

 The incident of divine revelation caused his problem to cease to exist before he could think of a solution.

 There is now a large-scale evacuation of top nobles.

Even if there are still one or two, they cannot pose any threat to the Eagle Chamber of Commerce.

 What he was worried about before was that all the nobles would unite and cause public outrage.

 But if only a few are left.

Then he doesn't need to worry about it at all.

There are opinions. The Northland Province is in such turmoil and a divine revelation is about to occur. It does not seem impossible to destroy one or two territories again, even the territories of powerful nobles.

"good!"

 “I'll go back immediately to investigate!”

“In three days at most, I will investigate the information about the lords who are about to take action or have already taken action.”

Tuno nodded, with a touch of excitement in his expression.

 At this moment he also saw an opportunity.

If they can grasp it, and the divine revelation is as Thor said, then their opportunity will really come.

 It's not even just theirs.

 It is also unimaginable for him Tuono.

Not to mention anything else, he can take advantage of this opportunity to further expand his territory.

Although it was expanded a few months ago, he now feels that it is not enough.
