Chapter 642: Chapter 364: King Arthur, Ragnarok (Part 2)
Arthur is just a peasant, whereas Thor’s identity seems anything but ordinary.
In that moment when everyone held their breath, the young man did not rush to speak.
Thor did not urge him.
"Arthur."
Baron Perron couldn’t help but speak.
But halfway through his words, Thor’s gaze instantly silenced Baron Perron, causing a cold sweat to form on his forehead.
"My lord, if I become your Guardian Knight, can I take someone with me?"
Arthur spoke, his gaze remaining bright as he looked at Thor.
"You can!"
Thor’s heart was stirred; he gave a slight nod.
"I am willing!"
"My lord, I, Arthur Pendragon, swear by the name of the Goddess of Life, I, Arthur, will become your loyal Guardian Knight!"
As Arthur Pendragon spoke, a green radiance enveloped the entire surroundings, and a diamond-shaped mark instantly appeared on Arthur Pendragon’s forehead.
On this land, all light is under the blessing of the Goddess of Life, and by swearing in her name, no one can escape her response.
Arthur Pendragon was now swearing by the name of the Goddess of Life, fulfilling Thor’s request.
"Arthur Pendragon!"
Witnessing this, and hearing the young man’s words, Thor was somewhat surprised.
This young man actually had a surname.
It’s important to know that, in this world, commoners do not have surnames, and even most wandering knights lack a surname.
After all, once one becomes a wandering knight, the surname is revoked.
Theoretically, it’s the same for the Free People.
But Arthur held a surname.
Of course, Thor was just momentarily surprised, and soon composed himself.
"Go ahead, bring the person you want to take with you. We are about to set off."
With his surprise subsiding, Thor calmly spoke.
"Yes, my lord!"
Arthur, now known as Arthur Pendragon, left excitedly.
Baron Perron said nothing about it.
He didn’t even mention the price.
Twenty gold coins were already sufficient.
He naturally guessed that Arthur might be extraordinary, but he didn’t dare to speak.
This person before him seemed approachable, but the knights behind him were all mightier than he.
He certainly didn’t have the courage to wager on the young man.
A quarter of an hour later.
A dirty girl was brought over by Arthur.
She looked only seven or eight years old, even younger than Arthur.
Her expression was timid and fearful.
Thor did not mind.
With a wave of his hand, everyone set off again.
Watching Thor’s group completely leave, Baron Perron finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Thor, who left on the other side.
He glanced at Arthur, pondering for a moment, then turned to Marco.
"Marco!"
He spoke.
Marco quickly rode forward.
"For the following period, teach Arthur the Knight’s Breathing Technique."
Thor spoke in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
Marco respectfully responded, not daring to be negligent.
"Ivira, check if that young girl has Magic Talent."
Thor’s heart stirred, and he looked at Ivira.
"Alright!"
Though puzzled, Ivira quickly responded.
Having Ivira check the girl’s Magic Talent was on a whim.
Yet, a surprise unfolded.
The girl actually had Magic Talent, and it was exceedingly high.
With the girl’s Magic Talent, she might not fall short of her brother Arthur’s Knight Talent; her future potential could reach Tier Six.
"Arthur Pendragon!"
"Pendragon!"
Thor couldn’t help but furrow his brow, his expression puzzled.
One person having high talent might be an anomaly or the Goddess of Life’s favor, but two having high talent clearly indicated their identities were unusual.
Yet even he couldn’t immediately recall any renowned family named Pendragon.
Bear in mind, it is not like before.
In the past, his knowledge was limited to the Tulip Kingdom; beyond that, he was unfamiliar.
Now, with Canaan Academy and having perused many books, he was well-acquainted with common families and events on the continent.
Still, he was unaware, and that was strange.
Thor gazed at the two.
His heart stirred.
After giving instructions to the group, he ventured into Canaan Academy.
White light permeated.
The location of Canaan Academy.
At this moment, it was undoubtedly quieter compared to before.
Though quite a few students remained, it wasn’t like it had been.
Thor swiftly stepped forward, soon reaching the library.
With questions to solve, naturally, the library at Canaan Academy came to mind first.
As the Empire’s largest collection, resolving doubts, it’s the best option.
He entered the library.
The library was as usual.
Amid the vast collection, book spirits fluttered.
Thor’s arrival soon attracted one book spirit.
It rapidly flew over.
"Thor Dressrosa, student, do you require guidance?"
The book spirit’s crisp voice sounded.
"Hello, I’d like to inquire about a family’s information, named Pendragon. Where should I go?"
Thor softly spoke.
"Pendragon, please wait a moment."
The book spirit said, with glows shimmering on its form.
A moment later.
"Follow me!"
The book spirit spoke, then flew towards the second floor.
Thor did not dare to delay, swiftly following along.
Soon, he followed the book spirit to a location.
To his surprise, it wasn’t far from Continent Comprehensive History, just next door, but in a corner he hadn’t noticed.
Thor’s gaze fell upon the classification of this area.
"Mythology!"
He murmured, his expression peculiar.
"The book you’re looking for, first row, first column, first book."
In Thor’s odd expression, the book spirit’s words rang anew.
"Alright, thank you."
Thor hurriedly expressed gratitude.
Then, disregarding his confusion, he took the book mentioned by the book spirit.
But when the book landed in his hands, Thor was frozen again.
"Ragnarok?"
With a surprised voice, he spoke.
Having read many books, he naturally understood what these four characters signified.
They represented an era.
Also, a segment of history.
And similarly, a piece of mythology.
One hundred thousand years ago, it was the era of the deities.
And at that time, humans united with the beastmen, dragons, and elves to overthrow the deities, and that process was known as Ragnarok.
Thor hadn’t expected, he only intended to inquire about Arthur’s identity, but stumbled upon the Ragnarok era.
Questions spread within him.
His right hand instinctively flipped through the book.
Page after page turned.
The book described the war of humans, beastmen, elves, and dragons against the deities.
But most descriptions were cursory.
Without detailed narrations.
Evidently.
Level 2 Authority books offered very limited access.
However, the current priority wasn’t this, but the book seemingly lacked Pendragon family details.
Just as confusion intertwined.
His movement halted involuntarily.
Because now, he finally saw a familiar name.
—Pendragon
His eyes gleamed, focusing on the page; Thor scrutinized closely.
Soon, he found subsequent records.
Half an hour later.
He exited the library.
Thor exhaled deeply; now he had a clear understanding of Arthur’s family identity.
And understood why this person had such formidable talent.
Pendragon, one of the thirteen hero leaders of the Human Race, who led humans against the deities.
