Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence

Chapter 516 - 303: Crowds at the Door, Shocked Onlookers (Part 2)

"Reward Viscount Thor Dressrosa with permanent land ownership rights, double merit points, and an additional five thousand Empire merit points. Also, since Duke Liepuer has extended an invitation to the Dressrosa Family for tomorrow night’s soirée, ensure arrangements are made, inform the Queen, and have Fourteen, Fifteen, Seventeen, and Nineteen attend together."

The Tulip King pondered briefly and then swiftly began to make arrangements.

This time, he was undoubtedly generous.

The Law Fragment brought by the Dressrosa Family was already of significant value, yet at this moment, the Tulip King still gifted them double.

And that wasn’t all.

He also granted the Dressrosa Family three bottles of High-Level Life Potion and three bottles of High-Level Recovery Potion.

A spot in the Imperial Canaan Academy.

It’s worth noting that while kingdom merits can be exchanged for a place in the Imperial Canaan Academy, under normal circumstances, it would require at least over five million merit points for a redemption.

But at this moment, it was given outright.

The value of these alone is unimaginable.

However, the Tulip King was well aware.

Such a top-tier talent has already taken the first step; what awaits is for the individual to soar.

Divine Realm.

That wouldn’t be their limit.

Given their peak level, they might very well ignite the Divine Fire and coalesce a Divinity.

Facing an existence with the potential to become a god, the Tulip King understood that no price would be too high.

"Yes!"

The burly man was somewhat surprised but quickly agreed.

He retreated, and the Tulip King remained, his eyes flickering.

"A genius; our Tulip Kingdom hasn’t seen one in years."

"Dressrosa!"

Murmuring softly, the Tulip King’s thoughts drifted into contemplation.

Of course, at this moment, not many in the entire Tulip Kingdom were aware of this.

Even the Three Great Dukes were no exception.

Old Duke Liepuer was the last to leave; he was the first to know of Thor and the others’ return.

While the other two families, the Kalenina Family and the Skodar Family, only learned the news a little later.

"It seems that little fellow’s luck is quite good!"

Old Duke Skodar couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Go, instruct everyone to have the girls aged fourteen to sixteen attend tomorrow night’s soirée!"

"Oh, and have Redidas send a generous gift to the Dressrosa Family to express our gratitude this time."

Old Duke Skodar gave instructions.

Simultaneously, the Kalenina family made almost identical decisions.

As long as they’re not fools, the Three Great Duke Families understood that the Dressrosa Family was about to soar.

With Thor’s return.

It’s inevitable that they would secure a special admission to Canaan Academy, and with that identity, in less than a decade, the entire Dressrosa Family might even step out of the Tulip Kingdom.

And it’s not just the Three Great Dukes.

Even two of the Three Top-level Marquis Families were doing the same.

Although Marquis Sorol had passed away.

The Sorol Clan had returned.

They were well aware of some matters, not to mention the Mackendy Family.

Families were on the move.

Meanwhile, Thor Dressrosa, Count Engel, and the entire Dressrosa Family had returned to their station.

But before everyone could rest and inquire about details of the kingdom war.

Several guests soon arrived at their station.

"Marquis Mackendy!"

Seeing the visitor, Count Engel was a bit surprised, while Carlo Dressrosa and Annette Essen couldn’t help but show surprise.

Marquis Mackendy, one of the Three Top-level Marquis Families, was not expected to come personally.

"Count Engel, we cannot thank you enough this time."

"This is a small gift; please accept it."

Mackendy spoke with a smile, devoid of his previous arrogance.

"You’re too kind, Marquis Mackendy!"

Count Engel smiled and nodded, accepting the gift.

"Hahaha, this is not mere courtesy; I won’t disturb your rest, see you tomorrow!"

As Mackendy saw Count Engel accept the gift, he couldn’t help but sigh in relief and then bid farewell.

Not long after Mackendy’s departure.

Others arrived, this time from the Sorol Marquis Family. Although Marquis Sorol hadn’t returned, his family’s heir came.

Also respectfully offering a gift before leaving.

The consecutive visits from two top-level Marquis Families were surprising.

Not to mention Old Duke Liepuer’s visit first, followed by the two Marquis Families.

This result was beyond what the Dressrosa Family could imagine, yet here it was.

And it wasn’t over.

Soon, the Kalenina Family and the Skodar Family, two Duke Families, also sent representatives, all direct descendants.

And they too brought gifts.

In particular, everyone who arrived exuded respect for Count Engel and for Thor.

At this moment, everyone was stunned into numbness.

At this moment, neither of them knew what to say.

After seeing all the visitors off, Count Engel and Thor finally had a moment to rest.

Just as they sat down.

"Father!"

Carlo instinctively spoke, his eyes drifting to Thor and Count Engel.

His wife, too, reacted in the same way.

Even Tono and other family members shared this reaction.

They truly couldn’t understand what led to this scene.

If there had been some interaction, one visit from the Liepuer Clan would have been impressive enough, but what did they just witness, the Liepuer Clan.

The Kalenina Family, the Skodar Family, the Mackendy Family, and the Sorol Clan.

Each one was among the top families of the kingdom, each one far surpassed the Dressrosa Family.

Seemingly impossible for them to seek taking the initiative.

Yet this had happened.

Amidst curious, confused, and astonished gazes.

Count Engel and Thor exchanged a glance, and a smile gradually graced their faces.

Count Engel released a wave of energy suddenly.

"Buzz!"

A ripple spread, and the next moment, a domain unfurled, causing the surrounding temperature to rapidly rise.

Carlo was momentarily stunned, and soon his pupils widened.

"This, this is?"

Carlo murmured; at this moment, his mind was in a state of profound shock.

While staying in the Royal Capital, he had been thoroughly acquainted with the power of the High-Level Knights, and this wasn’t his first time feeling the power of a domain.

He instantly recognized that this was the power of a domain.

And the ability to manifest a domain.

This meant his father had at least reached the realm of a Half-Step Sanctuary.

Half-Step Sanctuary.

"Gulp!"

Carlo couldn’t help but swallow, his breathing growing labored.

He clearly understood what it meant to be a Half-Step Sanctuary.

He never would have imagined that his father had barely achieved the rank of Sky Knight and so quickly reached Half-Step Sanctuary; the impact this had on him was no less significant than when his father achieved Sky Knight.

"Father, you!"

He stammered as he spoke; even Carlo’s speech was affected.

The others, however, were somewhat bewildered and didn’t immediately register what happened.
