Fantasy Lord: Starting with Daily Information

Chapter 82: Talent Finally Enhanced, Breakthrough to Official Knight

Surrounded by icy elements, Anna's figure slowly descended. At that moment, all the official knights, including Thor, couldn't help but be captivated by her.

Anna was simply breathtaking.

Her delicate features, stunning face, icy blue attire, and pointed ears—all were mesmerizing.

"Master, do I look good?"

"This is the real me!"

Anna spoke with a gentle smile, radiating an air of joy.

"Congratulations!" 

Thor snapped out of his daze and smiled, nodding his head.

"Hehe!"

"Thank you so much, Master."

"Master, Anna has a gift for you too!"

Anna giggled as she spoke.

"A gift?"

Thor looked puzzled and instinctively asked.

But just as he finished speaking, a pale blue magic circle lit up beneath Anna's feet.

Simultaneously, an identical magic circle appeared under Thor's feet.

"What is this?"

As the magic circle lit up, Thor was startled and instinctively tried to react. However, Anna's gentle power began to permeate him, making his body feel as if it were submerged in a warm ocean.

Above them, the ice sprite danced, and countless ice elements began to intertwine around them.

Thor felt a surge of power continuously flowing out from within him, spreading throughout his entire body.

The life force within him began to rapidly increase.

He had already reached the peak of an apprentice knight, very close to becoming an official knight.

However, to break through to an official knight would likely have taken about a year.

But at that moment, as his life force kept increasing, his life seed began to solidify.

Encased in a chill, the life seed gradually took form, becoming more substantial.

At the same time, an even more immense life force erupted from within him.

"Boom!"

The surrounding wind and snow were swept up, and Thor's aura underwent a drastic change.

"Is this...?"

"A breakthrough?"

"Lord Thor is breaking through!"

The dozen or so official knights were initially puzzled, but soon, their eyes widened in shock.

Because Thor's aura had clearly reached the level of an official knight.

And it wasn't just a minor breakthrough.

As the life force within him surged, Thor's aura continued to rise.

The massive life force from the life fruit he had consumed earlier also gushed out at that moment.

His aura kept increasing, and his life seed grew stronger.

Early-stage official knight.

Mid-stage official knight.

Late-stage official knight.

Peak official knight.

Boom! A more powerful life force surged within him.

As it did, the chilling aura also spread around, causing layers of ice to spread from beneath his feet.

Anna had signed a symbiotic contract with the ice sprite and then signed another symbiotic contract with Thor.

As a result, the ice sprite's power flowed not only into Anna but also into Thor, transforming his body.

His innate talent began to undergo a transformation.

His aptitude improved continuously.

Even his life force began to change.

Within the magic circle, countless ice elements intertwined and gradually flowed into Thor's body.

Thor's eyes had unknowingly closed.

The surrounding official knights instinctively spread out, forming a protective circle around Thor.

As night gradually fell, and stars began to adorn the sky, Thor slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes had changed from their original golden color to icy blue.

Countless ice elements surrounded him, just like Anna earlier. His aura was now firmly established at the peak of an official knight, just a step away from becoming a grand knight.

More importantly, as previously mentioned, his knightly aptitude had nearly transformed.

Now, his aptitude was almost comparable to Ryan's.

His life force now contained ice elements.

And there were countless other unimaginable benefits.

For instance, long lifespan.

A human's lifespan is usually no more than a century. Unless one can break through to become a Holy Knight, even a Sky Knight would find it hard to live beyond 120 years.

However, elves have lifespans that can extend for thousands of years.

Anna, due to her contract with the nature sprite, even as a half-elf, has a longer lifespan.

How long she could live is unknown.

Now, after sharing life force, Thor could feel that his lifespan had become extremely long.

A thousand years, two thousand years.

Perhaps even longer.

This time, Thor had received unimaginable benefits.

Even he hadn't anticipated such a result.

Aptitude, lifespan, strength—these were precisely what he needed most.

There's no need to elaborate on the first; only with sufficient aptitude can one go far.

Lifespan and strength are even more crucial.

In the northern province, strength is the most important asset.

Especially now, with the impending minotaur invasion, strength is more critical than ever.

"Thank you!"

Taking a deep breath, Thor suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, looked at Anna, and spoke softly.

"Master, this is Anna's gift!"

Anna playfully blinked and smiled.

Thor smiled and nodded.

He said nothing more.

"Anna, Anna, I'm tired! I want to rest now!"

The ice sprite, looking exhausted, flew around before diving into Anna's forehead.

As it merged into her, a diamond-shaped ice-blue crystal appeared on Anna's forehead, and the ice elements around her grew even denser.

"Let's go!"

"We should head back!"

"Otherwise, the Maine Valley might descend into chaos!"

Thor spoke softly.

Anna nodded.

The group then packed up and began their return journey.

Meanwhile, in Maine Valley, just as Thor had predicted, chaos was almost breaking out.

Several days had passed.

More information had been pouring into the Maine Valley.

The most critical news was that the minotaur tribe was drawing closer to the Maine Valley.

If anyone had harbored any illusions before, by now, they were certain that the minotaurs were indeed heading for the Maine Valley.

Although they had previously considered staying to face the threat, unwilling to abandon their lands, and Thor had given them some confidence, Thor still hadn't returned after several days, while the minotaurs kept getting closer.

Even the noble lords were starting to lose their composure, let alone the pioneering lords.

In fact, some pioneering lords had already started fleeing yesterday.

Today, even more were leaving.

And still, there was no sign of Thor's return.

This outcome caused great panic among the three noble lords.
