Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence

Chapter 521 - 306: Exchanging Merit Points, Knight’s Breathing Technique?

At this moment, the entire plaza was terrifyingly silent; all eyes were focused on the Dressrosa Family, and the members of the Dressrosa Family could only hear their heavy breathing and feel their slightly trembling bodies.

Marquis.

At this moment, they finally became a Marquis.

The wish of hundreds of years was finally fulfilled at this moment, and the excitement was overwhelming.

This was the same for Count Engle and other members of the Dressrosa Family.

The only one who was slightly better was Thor.

Even so, he couldn’t help but take a long deep breath.

Although this result had been anticipated by him and Count Engle, it was only at this moment that it truly settled.

This was different from speculation.

After all, speculation could still lead to surprises, but with the Tulip King personally speaking, there were no surprises anymore.

"Actually, this time, we owe it all to you!"

"Thor!"

"You actually deserve it more than I do!"

After a moment of excitement, Count Engle looked at Thor with a complex expression and spoke softly.

Count Engle knew well.

Without Thor, it would have been almost impossible for them to achieve the Marquis status.

This was unlike previous kingdom wars.

Previously, it was a war mode where they only needed to assist the kingdom in defeating other kingdoms for the Dressrosa Family to gain the qualification for Marquis conferral.

But this time, it was a standalone family form.

If they hadn’t unexpectedly joined the Noble Alliance, they might not even have had the qualification for Marquis promotion.

Not to mention anything else, three million merit points was a huge issue.

One Law Fragment was ten thousand merit points, so three million merit points equate to three hundred Law Fragments.

Not participating in kingdom wars, the probability of obtaining them was really low.

Even with the daily intelligence system, it might not be possible.

Moreover, the conferral of the Marquis title had a hard condition, which was to achieve a great merit in the kingdom wars.

In a kingdom war modeled on family, to achieve great merit for the Tulip Kingdom without considering gladiatorial combat was tantamount to climbing to heaven.

Almost impossible.

But all this changed with Thor’s appearance.

Firstly, he saved them from a desperate situation.

Subsequently, due to Thor’s rescue, they were fortunate enough to join the Noble Alliance.

Not only the Noble Alliance, but even their eventual victory was thanks to Thor.

Without Thor, the Sela Kingdom would not have spared the Tulip Kingdom from challenge.

Once challenged, with the Tulip Kingdom’s strength, there was no chance of victory.

Under the gladiatorial rules, losing meant just losing, and there was no opportunity to earn merit.

"Father, isn’t the Dressrosa Family also my family?"

"And compared to the Marquis title in the Tulip Kingdom, I believe my future will be much broader."

Thor smiled, sensing Engle’s emotions, but he didn’t care much.

Just a Marquis, after all.

To him, it really wasn’t much now.

He knew what being a special recruitment at Canaan Academy meant.

His prospects were far larger than that of a Marquis.

Listening to Thor’s words, Count Engle nodded slightly, and then spoke softly.

"Thor, since you’ve said so, the family will be indebted to you. As compensation, if you need anything, the family will fully assist you."

"Additionally, the family will leave you five Kingdom Academy slots, and permanently reserve four million kingdom merit points for you."

Count Engle’s expression carried earnestness.

The words he spoke surprised everyone present, even Thor raised an eyebrow.

As for Carlo Dressrosa and Annette Essen, they exchanged a glance and said nothing.

Even without knowing much of the situation, they knew the family reached this level largely thanks to Thor, so naturally, they had no objections.

"I will!"

"But, Father, there’s no need for four million merit points; the family is about to expand and will need quite a few merit points."

Thor’s raised eyebrows returned to normal, his expression thoughtful for a moment before speaking again.

"No, it’s already enough!"

"Four million merit points will be sufficient for the family’s upcoming expansion phase."

Count Engle shook his head and spoke softly.

"Father, let’s do this, give me one million merits, and keep the rest for the family; just some civil servants and various artisans will do."

Thor contemplated for a moment then shook his head.

He certainly wouldn’t claim the four million merit points.

The family will need numerous merit points soon.

Leaping from Count to Marquis.

And to reach Marquis, or even top-level Marquis strength, clearly requires vast resources.

Maybe not eight million merit points, but four million merit points are certainly insufficient.

"This!"

Hearing Thor’s resolute words, Count Engle hesitated.

"Father, for the Dressrosa Family, the current priority is rapid development; missing this opportunity would make such an occasion difficult to come by again."

Seeing Count Engle’s hesitation, Thor couldn’t help but speak again.

"Alright!"

"I understand now!"

"Whatever you need, I’ll prepare immediately once I return to the territory!"
