Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence

"Whew!"

Young Master Thor couldn’t help but shake his head as he exhaled a breath. Despite being mentally prepared, swallowing two Roy Fruits still failed to open the Sea of Consciousness, which was quite disappointing for him.

If he could open the Sea of Consciousness, using the power augmented by the Law Mark, his abilities would be much stronger than now. He would be capable of dealing with some powerful Sky Knights, as long as they weren’t at Sky Knight Peak or approaching Half-Step Sanctuary, he would be able to manage.

But clearly, his luck wasn’t that good this time.

Shaking his head, Thor withdrew his thoughts.

Then he began to direct everyone to start working.

Time passed slowly.

Night gradually fell.

The rumbling on the ground never stopped.

And at this moment, if viewed from high above, it would be clear that the vast continent below was swept by winds covering ninety-nine percent of the perimeter. The forces from the Abyss attacked everything, and once touched, apart from plants, the bodies, bones, and flesh of all living creatures began to dissolve.

Even Tier Four Peak Demon Beasts couldn’t withstand these Abyssal Storms.

Even Tier Five had to deploy their Domain Power to completely seal off their location to avoid the storm’s invasion.

A huge bonfire rose up.

The corpses of Demon Beasts were cleared and placed on the fire.

Then everyone began enjoying their first meal upon reaching the Harbor.

Feeling the constant rumbling from the outside world, everyone couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy.

However, after Thor distributed the spoils gained earlier, their unease quickly turned to excitement.

Especially after feeling the enhancement these spoils brought, many people’s eyes gleamed brightly.

This was exactly what Thor needed; as previously mentioned, he needed to quickly boost the strength of the entire Knight Order, which was still insufficient.

The strongest in the Knight Order, him and Reine, might still be acceptable, but the others’ strengths were lacking. The strongest, Marshall, was merely at Early-stage Earth Knight, while others included only three newly-promoted Great Knights and fifty-one Official Knights — most of them were only at the initial stage of Official Knight strength.

With such limited strength, they weren’t even comparable to knight orders from other kingdoms, and within the Tulip Kingdom, they wouldn’t necessarily stand out.

The nobles attending from the Tulip Kingdom possessed the power of the Three Great Dukes and Three Top-level Marquises, whose leaders wouldn’t be weaker, only stronger, and their knight orders only stronger.

Not to mention the Three Great Dukes and Three Top-level Marquises, even the knight orders led by seven powerful Marquises would likely surpass his strength.

Given the feud between the Dressrosa Family and these nobles, the consequences of an encounter were almost needless to mention.

"Uncle Marshall, this is for you!"

After distributing everything, Thor took a deep breath and brought a wooden box beside Marshall.

"What’s this?"

Marshall felt a bit confused, but he opened the wooden box nonetheless.

As soon as he opened it.

Marshall’s pupils suddenly contracted.

"What’s this?"

Marshall felt his heartbeat suddenly quicken.

"Uncle Marshall, please take it quickly and see if you can reach High Tier Earth Knight in one step."

Facing Marshall’s astonishment, Thor was calm and spoke softly.

"Young Master Thor, this, this is too precious!"

Marshall felt his throat dry up and instinctively refused.

"Now is a special time, and it’s most appropriate for Uncle Marshall to use it."

Thor spoke softly and then still pushed the wooden box into Marshall’s lap.

"This, this!"

Looking at the wooden box in hand, Marshall felt his mind short-circuit; he didn’t even know how to react.

Because he knew very well what was inside this wooden box.

The Life Fruit, one of the main ingredients of High-Level Life Potion, and the most important ingredient, was something in the entire Tulip Kingdom that was priceless, beyond measure. Even the news of one fruit would cause a frenzy among the nobles.

The only known way to obtain it currently is through military merit exchange.

But the exchange price for one Life Fruit exceeded one million merit points.

That’s right, over one million merit points.

Ten thousand merit points are enough for a family to gain the title of Count, and the merit points of ten Counts are needed to exchange for one Fruit of Life, showing its high value.

But now, such a Life Fruit appeared right before him; how could he not be shocked?

Though obviously, while Marshall was shocked, Thor directly left his side.

For others, the Life Fruit was indeed precious; but for him, it was already stably obtainable. The previously transplanted Tree of Life, with the help of Allen and Ivira, has fully revived, and with the Natural Elf’s blessing, a Life Fruit that would take at least five years, even possibly ten years to produce can be produced within one year.

Though due to the Tree of Life’s low level, it currently yields only one fruit per year.

But this is only initial; as the level of the Tree of Life increases, the yield of Life Fruits will gradually increase over time.
