Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence

Chapter 542 - 316: The Assessment Begins (Part 2)

Even though during this period, Thor hasn’t been attentive to the outside world, news as significant as the fall of the Spencer Family should have reached him, but it didn’t.

"Young Master Thor, the Marquis asked me to convey to you that the next batch of the population will arrive in half a month."

"Additionally, the Marquis wants me to ask if you still need a large population?"

A Knight sitting at the other end of the desk spoke with a hint of nervousness.

Even though he was already an Earth Knight, he couldn’t understand why he felt immense pressure facing Thor.

"Father still can gather more people?"

Thor was a bit surprised and instantly looked at this somewhat uneasy Knight.

"The Marquis didn’t specify, just mentioned that if you still need a large population, you can still attempt it."

The Knight spoke respectfully.

"Understood!"

"When you go back, tell Father that if it’s possible, continue to transfer the population."

"Also, tell Father not to worry about food supplies; I have enough to sustain us here."

Thor tapped the table briefly, pondered slightly, and then spoke.

"Yes!"

"Understood!"

The Knight replied respectfully and then quickly left.

Watching the Knight leave.

A smile appeared on Thor’s face.

For him, everything was going smoothly.

Not only for him but also for his father.

In just two short months, not only had they seized Qinghai Lake, now controlling it, but they also expanded to the East and the North.

His eyes glanced at the map.

Even he couldn’t help but exclaim, "Goodness!"

Right now, Count Engle’s territory seems no smaller than his own.

To be clear, he was in the Northern Province, while Count Engle only controlled parts of Xiyue and Frost Moon Provinces, a range far exceeding that of an ordinary Marquis Family, and even strong Marquis Families might not have such range. Only the Marquis Sorol from the three top-tier Marquis Families could securely surpass such a range, and even that was previously. With the recent losses of the Sorol Marquis Family, it’s uncertain if they can maintain such vast territory.

Thoughts turning, various notions intertwined.

But at that moment, a warm sensation emanated from Thor’s chest.

The slight warmth made Thor pause, instinctively reaching towards his chest.

After feeling around for a bit, Thor quickly retrieved a somewhat familiar emblem.

This was the temporary Canaan Academy certificate given to him by Carol, a lecturer from the Sela Kingdom, back then.

At this moment, the originally unremarkable temporary Canaan Academy certificate emitted a faint white glow.

Upon taking it out, the glow intensified.

"What is this?"

Thor muttered, a slight stir in his heart.

He remembered what Carol had told him before.

As if validating his thoughts.

"Student Thor Dressrosa, your examination application has been approved. Please connect your spiritual power to the temporary student card within three days to commence the formal special recruitment examination!"

A cold female voice emerged from the white glow.

Her words were calm, and the soft glow gradually became subdued; finally, the temporary student card returned to normal.

"Connect with Spiritual Power?"

Thor raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

He had been contemplating what the special recruitment examination for Canaan Academy would entail.

He considered that perhaps a Canaan Academy instructor would come to conduct the special recruitment examination personally.

After all, that seemed the only way not to have to go to the Empire.

But now it seemed the situation was different.

After hesitating briefly, he summoned Anna for some arrangements.

Then Thor refocused his gaze on the emblem.

A slight internal shift.

In the next moment, his spiritual power poured into the emblem.

"Buzz!"

The once-normal emblem rippled immediately, and a white glow spread once more.

"Spiritual connection complete!"

"Verifying student identity!"

"Student identity verified!"

"Special recruit Thor Dressrosa!"

"Please prepare yourself; in ten seconds, you’ll enter Canaan Academy. You can also opt out by disconnecting your spiritual power!"

The cold female voice echoed again.

Hearing this voice, Thor’s eyes widened in shock.

The immense surprise almost caused him to break the connection, but he quickly stabilized.

"Nineteen, eighteen, seventeen..."

"Three, two, one!"

The cold female voice spoke again, and Thor’s spiritual power fluctuations only caused the voice to falter for a moment before resuming.

As the last count fell.

The white glow not only enveloped Thor but also covered the entire room in an instant.

Thor felt his consciousness sink.

In the next moment, the surrounding scene rapidly changed.

The original study faded away, revealing a white world before him.

This place seemed sky-high.

In his line of sight were only vast skies adorned with white clouds and earth.

The only color between heaven and earth was white.

"What is this?"

Thor muttered, sensing a distinct difference in himself.

His brow slightly furrowed.

"Spiritual power, perhaps?"

He murmured to himself in shock that only after connecting his spiritual power was his spirit directly transported here.

While he was in shock.

A gentle light gathered, and an Elf Maiden appeared before him.

"Special recruit Thor Dressrosa, your examination awaits, please follow me!"

This voice, softer than the previous cold voice, opened with the same politeness. The clouds ahead parted, revealing a broad path going forward.

"Thank you!"

Suppressing the waves in his heart, Thor softly spoke, then followed the Elf Maiden towards the continent formed by the white clouds.

Walking along the path, Thor carefully observed his surroundings and his changes.

Occasionally testing with questions to the Elf Maiden.

However, he quickly realized to his disappointment that the Elf Maiden might not be a living being, seemingly only answering specific questions.

He could not gain answers to some of his inquiries.

But this disappointment didn’t last long.

Because soon, within the gathering white clouds ahead, a vast Western-style academy stood proudly among the clouds.

The academy emanated a gentle light, seemingly offering an extremely comforting power.

Even at a distance, Thor felt his turbulent thoughts gradually settle.

And now, Thor could already see there seemed to be many figures within the academy.

Some wore knight’s attire, while others wore a Mage’s robes.

These people seemed, like him, to be spiritual entities.

Moreover, at the giant academy entrance, a familiar figure appeared.

"Welcome, Thor Dressrosa!"

Carol’s gentle voice rang out, with a faint smile gracing his face.
