Chapter 640: Chapter 363: The Mighty Sela Kingdom and the Astonished Lecturer Carol (Part 2)
"You go handle it this time, go personally!"
"Isn’t that Imperial Academy student about to enter the Sarca Kingdom? This time, the full strength of Sarca Kingdom is yours to command. In a month, I don’t want him to still be alive."
"Do you understand?"
The old man spoke in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
"I will definitely accomplish it."
Druna’s heart sank, but he still quickly responded.
He knew at this moment, he didn’t have the right to refuse.
If he dared to refuse, the previous two would be his fate.
"Go!"
"I await your good news. Offer him to my lord; my lord will surely be pleased."
The old man waved his hand.
"Yes!"
Druna responded again, then his figure exited the room.
And after Druna left.
The old man once again looked at another figure.
"How is the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom?"
He spoke with a low tone.
As his words were spoken, everyone present was initially startled, but quickly breathed a sigh of relief.
Because it wasn’t a matter concerning the Macedonian Kingdom.
It was about the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom.
"Archbishop, everything is ready!"
"Just waiting for that princess to arrive."
One person quickly spoke.
"Anadephia, I will dispatch three more squads to assist you. I don’t wish for things to happen again like in the Macedonian Kingdom. If there’s an unexpected event, offer yourself as a sacrifice to my lord."
The old man coldly spoke, his words carried a trace of chill.
"Yes!"
Anadephia shuddered and quickly responded.
He dared not show any negligence in this.
Afterward, in the room.
Various figures discussed some matters again.
Only then did everyone leave.
And at this moment, Thor was unaware.
In the Sarca Kingdom, there was already a web waiting for him.
The Death Church was directly pushed to the brink by him.
Of course, it didn’t matter anymore; after all, Thor didn’t enter the Sarca Kingdom but embarked on another path.
As the Death Church acted, Thor had already reached the Sela Kingdom.
Compared to the Macedonian Kingdom, the situation in the Sela Kingdom was undoubtedly better.
Indeed, Thor and his group didn’t encounter any attacks from the Church of Gods, nor were there any rumors about the Church of Gods in the Sela Kingdom, as if everything here was no different from the past.
As for why there was such a disparity.
Most likely, one reason was that the Sela Kingdom’s strength was strong enough; as one of the strongest kingdoms within the Empire, the Sela Kingdom’s strength is undeniable. Though facing the Church of Gods might be somewhat less powerful, the Church of Gods’ targets were not only the Sela Kingdom. The dispersed forces weren’t necessarily stronger than the Sela Kingdom.
Another reason was that the Sela Kingdom didn’t suffer much in the kingdom war.
With few losses, naturally, there wasn’t much opportunity for the Church of Gods.
Under these circumstances, the Church of Gods almost didn’t invest any efforts into the Sela Kingdom.
Thus, the outcome was predictable.
Entering the Sela Kingdom, Thor got to witness the prosperity of this world’s top kingdom.
Compared to the Macedonian Kingdom, the Sela Kingdom was undoubtedly more prosperous.
The entire Sela Kingdom’s area was nearly double that of the Macedonian Kingdom, with over five cities exceeding one million population. The entire Sela Kingdom’s population reached 40 to 50 million, the largest kingdom Thor had seen so far.
Even the Sarca Kingdom couldn’t match it.
Although the Sarca Kingdom was comparable to the Sela Kingdom.
The population was not on the same level, and neither was the territory.
More importantly, although the Sarca Kingdom still followed a feudal city-state system, it had clearly formed a complete system.
There’s a huge academy in the kingdom.
This academy enrolls all age-suitable children.
Though not free education, usually only one or two Silver Coins are enough to attend.
If one’s talent is strong, they could even be exempted from tuition, and even get admitted to the Royal Capital Academy.
Moreover, the Sela Kingdom conducts nationwide Magic Talent tests annually.
Ordinary people only need to pay fifteen Silver Coins to undergo the test.
Although such testing is difficult for ordinary folks, common people can muster enough determination to gather it.
Thus, in the entire Sela Kingdom.
The number of Mages is the most Thor had seen outside of Canaan Academy.
Almost every city has several Mages.
Though their Levels aren’t high, it’s still incredible.
The emergence of a large number of Mages also made the prices of Low-Level Life Potions extremely cheap in the Sela Kingdom.
In the Tulip Kingdom, a bottle of Low-Level Life Potion requires over a hundred Gold Coins, while Intermediate Life Potions need thousands, even tens of thousands of Gold Coins.
But in the Sela Kingdom, Thor learned that a bottle of Low-Level Life Potion only requires a dozen, no more than twenty Gold Coins, Intermediate Life Potions price didn’t exceed five hundred Gold Coins.
Though High-Level Life Potions aren’t greatly affected.
But the mere Intermediate and Low-Level Life Potions are enough to make the lower nobility in the Sela Kingdom extremely powerful.
Even a common Baron already qualified as an Earth Knight.
You must know, even Marquises in the Tulip Kingdom, some are still just Earth Knights.
Hazel City.
The most prosperous city in the north of the Sela Kingdom.
It backs onto the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
Its population reaches 1.5 million.
That’s just the permanent residents; its floating population exceeds two million, during peak times accommodating over three million.
Upon entering it.
Thor even felt as if he stepped across thousands of years, into the modern era of the Western Fantasy World.
"So many people."
Ivira couldn’t help but open her mouth wide, her expression showing a hint of surprise.
At this moment, the street was densely packed with people.
"Let’s go visit Lecturer Carol first!"
Thor said.
Then the group headed towards the center of the city.
As an Imperial Canaan Academy lecturer and the person who recommended him to the academy, Thor naturally needed to pay a visit to Carol.
The group quickly arrived at a huge mansion entrance.
"Please follow me!"
Upon hearing Thor’s words, the Knight at the gate immediately showed a trace of respect.
And quickly led Thor into the room.
"Please wait a moment, I’ll go notify Lord Carol."
The servant spoke, then served refreshments.
A moment later.
Carol’s figure appeared.
"Lecturer Carol!"
Seeing the person, Thor stood up with a smile.
"Hahaha, to think you’d arrive in the Sela Kingdom, just earlier the Knight reported, I thought I misheard."
Carol said with a smile.
"I made a visit without prior notice, I hope I’m not intruding."
Thor said with a smile.
"Of course not, I’m just happy you’re here."
"How are things, I heard you ranked in the top hundred at the academy, really impressive."
Carol waved his hand with a smile, then curiously asked.
To be honest, when he first heard the news about Thor, Carol was stunned.
The one he invited to Canaan Academy on a special recommendation had not only participated in the academy tournament but also ranked in the top hundred.
That’s top hundred.
Even in the Sela Kingdom, only three currently rank in the top hundred.
Thor managed to rank too.
You must know, those from the Sela Kingdom who rank in the top hundred are already in the Divine Domain.
When Thor was invited to the Imperial Canaan Academy by him, his strength was still very modest, maybe Half-Step Sanctuary at most.
How much time has passed.
A little over a year.
This timeline from the tournament to now is only seven or eight months.
Such rapid advancement, even in the Empire, can be called astounding.
