Chapter 641: Chapter 364: King Arthur, Ragnarok
The meeting with Carol did not present any unexpected surprises. Carol was exceedingly courteous to Thor’s arrival, not only warmly welcoming him but also presenting a generous gift upon his departure, and inquiring if Thor needed any assistance.
Thor politely declined Carol’s offer of support.
However, he accepted the gift.
The group soon set off once more.
Next, he needed to pass through the Sela Kingdom, reach the southern part of the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom, then traverse the entire southern part of the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom, reaching its northern part, and through the north arrive at the Tulip Kingdom.
This was undoubtedly going to be a long journey.
Even longer than the previous journey to the Elf Realm.
However, for Thor, this was not too big of a problem.
He had plenty of time now, and he could walk at a leisurely pace.
Time slowly passed by,
and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
During these three months, Thor’s points did not experience another rapid increase.
They only went from slightly over three thousand to just reaching four thousand, and his rank among the students dropped from thirtieth to fifty-seventh. At the current pace, it might continue to slide further.
But Thor wasn’t worried about this.
There was still a substantial amount of points waiting for him in the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom.
Moreover, due to changing the route.
Thor had quite the harvest on this journey.
He not only gained a Tree of Life and a Star Moon Fruit Tree, but he also collected quite a few Purple Gold Flower Seeds.
Just these gains alone made the journey worthwhile.
Not to mention, there was a huge reward awaiting him.
This was in a remote town in the western part of the Sela Kingdom.
The town has the rather common name of Qiuye Town.
The town is governed by a baron.
Compared to barons in the central area, this particular baron’s power is relatively weak, merely at the Great Knight Peak, not at the Earth’s Knight Level like those in the center.
Their arrival undoubtedly made the town baron a bit nervous.
"My lord!"
The town baron hurried over with about twenty knights to welcome them.
His expression carried respect.
Even though Thor was not a noble of the Sela Kingdom.
The town baron knew very well, precisely because Thor wasn’t from here, such a situation was the most dangerous.
Every year, countless barons meet their demise.
Some of those barons who met their demise found justice, while others did not.
But even if justice was found, they none the less were gone.
"Baron Pair."
"I intend to purchase a person from you."
"Name your price!"
Thor spoke from atop Nia, he did not dismount but looked down at the baron as he spoke calmly.
"L-Lord, may I know who you wish to purchase?"
Hearing Thor’s words, the town baron breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there wasn’t trouble, it was a good thing for him.
As for buying a person or two, that posed no issue.
"A peasant slave from the farmland to the west of your estate, named Arthur, should be fourteen years old this year."
Thor spoke calmly.
"Arthur?"
"Peasant slave?"
Hearing Thor’s words, the town baron was slightly bewildered, momentarily not knowing how to respond.
"What? Is there a problem?"
Thor furrowed his brow.
"N-No problem, please wait a moment, I will have someone bring him over immediately."
Baron Peilun was startled, immediately nodding, and quickly instructed a nearby knight.
The knight quickly sprinted away.
"My lord, it might take a little time, I will have a banquet prepared, you can stay for a while."
After giving instructions, Baron Peilun respectedly opened his mouth.
"No need, I’ll wait here."
"Here are twenty gold coins, should be sufficient."
With a wave of his hand, Marco promptly took out a small bag of gold coins and tossed it over.
"Thank you, my lord!"
Watching the gold coins tossed over, Baron Peilun’s eyes lit up, quickly expressing his respect.
Twenty gold coins, even for a baron like him, this was not a small amount of income.
Thor paid no mind.
Instead, he looked toward the illusory projection before him.
[Among the peasants to the west of Qiuye Town, the future King Arthur, now merely a small peasant slave, is suffering beatings, rescue him, and you shall gain one of the most loyal knights.]
A line of simple text, it was precisely because of this line of text that he had stopped here.
"King Arthur."
Murmuring softly, Thor’s eyes couldn’t help but flicker.
A figure capable of claiming the title of king, whose strength is likely at least a high-tier divine domain.
A young man with such talent, he was certainly reluctant to pass up.
While he was pondering, a frail youth was brought over by a knight.
Clearly, he had been cleaned before being brought over.
Although thin, he was relatively tidy.
The young man’s eyes were striking.
Bright eyes, even more intense than the glimmer in the eyes of the knights present.
Looking at Thor, his gaze held only curiosity and doubt.
"My lord, this is Arthur."
Baron Peilun hurriedly spoke up.
"Arthur, I can offer you an opportunity. Are you willing to become my Guardian Knight? If not, you are free right now."
Thor looked at the youth and calmly spoke.
His words instantly surprised everyone present.
Even those behind him, including Marco, couldn’t help but open their eyes wide.
Many knights were breathing heavily.
Baron Peilun was utterly dumbfounded.
