Chapter 44: New Information
One day later.
Rachos Assad left with excitement. Before departing, he left behind the supplies he brought, which included a large quantity of food and materials, clearly prepared for Eagle Ridge. He took with him one hundred sets of black iron armor, one set of silver armor, and over one hundred knights as he began his journey to establish the trade routes.
Thor sincerely wished him well, understanding that the success of these trade routes was crucial for the future development of Eagle Ridge.
After seeing off Rachos Assad, Thor focused on waiting for the upcoming auction in Loren City while planning the construction of his territory. With the daily Information system's assistance, the development of Eagle Ridge progressed without any delays.
Another month passed quickly.
During this month, good news came from Rachos. The establishment of the trade routes was smoother than expected. Within less than a month, he had already connected three pioneering knights' territories. It was expected that by the end of the year, he could establish trade routes with over thirty pioneering lords, and if lucky, even connect with a few titled noble lords.
In Eagle Ridge, the basic construction was completely finished within the month. What was once more like a small town had now become a small town, doubling in size and rivaling some baronies in land area.
The biggest surprise for Thor was Ryan's rapid progress in training. With Neil Morton's guidance, Ryan's training speed was akin to a rocket. Currently, Ryan was on the verge of breaking through to the mid-stage of a official knight. At this rate, he could reach the peak of a official knight within a year and potentially break through to a grand knight within three years. Achieving the rank of an earth knight within ten years was almost certain, and he could even reach sky knight within thirty years.
The thought of having a sky knight, one of the kingdom's most elite warriors, was exhilarating. A sky knight in the kingdom would undoubtedly elevate Thor's title to marquis or even duke, given the kingdom's three dukes owed their titles to producing a sky knight and significant war achievements.
Neil Morton was equally excited, seeing Ryan's potential exceed his expectations. He was now almost certain that Ryan could become a holy knight, a level far beyond a sky knight. Such talent was rare, even in the empire, making Neil Morton consider taking Ryan to the empire immediately. However, due to the empire's current instability, he decided against it for now.
Thor, unaware of Neil Morton's thoughts, trusted the daily information to alert him of any issues. Since no warnings had appeared, he had no concerns about Neil Morton.
As night fell, a new day brought updated daily information.
Daily information Updated:
1. Five hundred miles north of your territory, a group of pig boars will pass by. The leader of the pig boars is about to break through to the third tier.
2. In the western part of your territory, in Baron Wells' domain, a serf accidentally discovered that grafting bracken root onto a fire spirit tree increases its yield.
3. In seven days, a group of special slaves will be sold at Loren City's slave market. Among them, a boy named Allen has the talent to bond with all creatures, making him an excellent breeder capable of advancing species.
4. In seven days, a thunderstone will be auctioned in Loren City, a key material for crafting a magical crystal cannon.
5. In seven days, a herd of unicorns will forage in the western part of your territory.
6. Engel Dresrosa seems troubled by his own strength limitations.
The new information, particularly about the upcoming auction, was promising. The thunderstone, originating from the Aegean Sea’s thunder prison, contained potent thunder energy and was essential for crafting magical crystal cannons. Additionally, the boy with a talent for breeding could help domesticate the unicorns roaming Thor's territory, significantly enhancing his forces if he replaced the knights' warhorses with unicorns.
Moreover, there was another new surprise.
A talent for bonding with all creatures.
The ability to advance species.
This immediately turned his attention to the herd of unicorns.
He had refrained from capturing the unicorns all this time because he lacked a breeder.
Wild magical beasts cannot be domesticated without a breeder.
So, he had left them alone.
But now, a boy with the perfect talent for breeding appeared, which was exactly what he needed.
Those were unicorns, after all.
Generally, unicorns were first-tier peak magical beasts, with their leaders reaching the second-tier peak.
If he could replace his knights' warhorses with unicorns, the strength of Eagle Ridge would significantly increase.
