Time passes slowly.
Stepping into the Frost Moon Province, walking was undoubtedly a lot slower. After all, Thor and his party were so large that many noble lords along the way would be frightened. In this case, the speed was naturally fast. Can't get up.
But fortunately, everything went smoothly.
One month later.
Thor and his men finally approached the town of Dressrosa.
When the figure stepped into the town of Dressrosa, Thor couldn't help but feel a touch of nostalgia in his expression.
A year and a half later, the entire town of Dressrosa has not changed at all.
The scene in his memory was exactly the same as when he left.
The arrival of Thor and his party caused quite a commotion.
Such a "huge" knights made everyone in the town of Dressrosa think that the Earl had arrived in person.
There was a flurry of excitement.
A group of knights and the clerk of Dressrosa Town hurried over.
when they arrived.
The town's affairs officer hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"My Lord Count!"
Respect sounded with a trembling voice, a little panicked.
A group of knights who came with him also hurriedly wanted to kneel down.
However, their leader did not take any action, and they could only wait anxiously.
Their leader, Maurice Dressrosa, was in deep shock at this moment. He looked at the young knight leading the team with a stern look, and was unable to react for a while.
until.
"Brother Morris, long time no see!"
A gentle voice sounded, with slightly familiar words coming from before my eyes and from my memory.
Maurice Dressrosa suddenly came back to his senses.
"You, you are Thor!"
Maurice Dressrosa's voice had a vibrato.
Looking at Thor and then at the knights led by Thor, he even felt like he was dreaming.
"Of course, brother Morris!"
Thor smiled and nodded.
He naturally knew the man in front of him. He belonged to his fourth brother and was also the fourth son of Count Engel.
There are more than twenty descendants of Earl Engel, and there are currently nine adults. Among the nine, except for Thor, three have chosen to become pioneer lords.
Distinguish the second son, the third son, and the seventh son.
And the remaining few.
The eldest brother was trained as a candidate for earl. The fourth brother, Maurice Dressrosa in front of him, chose to stay in the family after becoming a trainee knight at the age of eighteen and became the family guardian knight.
The fifth brother was adopted to a cousin and inherited the title, while the eighth brother was expelled from the family because he failed to become a trainee knight at the age of eighteen and became a wandering knight.
For this fourth brother, Thor, who inherited the memory, still has a lot of memories.
Among the several brothers, he was pretty good to him, especially the fourth brother who stayed in the family and had more contact with him.
The former Maurice Dressrosa was the existence that his predecessor longed for.
In his predecessor's dream, he wanted to become a family guardian knight like Maurice Dressrosa.
However, his arrival changed everything.
"It's really you, I'm sorry!"
"This really shocks me, Thor, you have changed so much!"
Maurice Dressrosa only came back to his senses at this moment, and couldn't help but speak with emotion.
But his words and the previous conversation suddenly caused the face of the affairs officer who was originally prostrate on the ground to freeze.
"No, not the Earl!"
"T-Master Thor?"
The affairs officer's eyes were a little dazed, and he didn't know how to act for a moment.
"Hahaha, Brother Maurice, I also feel that I have changed a lot!"
Thor said with a smile, then the figure dismounted and walked over.
As for the affairs officer on the ground, he ignored it.
The same goes for Maurice Dressrosa.
The two brothers exchanged a big hug.
Then they separated.
"Walk!"
"Father will definitely be very happy to know that you are back!"
"By the way, I heard that you went to the Northland Province to become a pioneer knight. Didn't you want to become a family guardian knight before? It's okay, you didn't encounter any danger, right?"
With concern in his gentle voice, Maurice Dressrosa spoke, leading Thor forward.
"Brother Maurice, people change. Rather than staying in the family, I still want to go out and have a look!"
"Fortunately, the Northland Province is much more interesting than the Frost Moon Province."
"Yeah?"
"Then I want to listen carefully."
The two chatted and the group headed towards the castle.
Only the extremely embarrassed clerk was left.
But it was obvious that no one paid attention to him, including the knights.
At this moment, the famous knight looked curiously at the backs of Thor and Maurice Dressrosa, as well as the members of the knights brought by Thor.
"Hey, are you Mark?"
While observing, a knight from the Knights of Maurice Dressrosa seemed to see a familiar voice, with a surprised voice.
"Portolo!"
Among the Thor Knights, Mark also had a look of surprise on his face.
"Is it really you, you, you?"
Portolo spoke with shock, looked at the familiar friend in his memory, and then at the unicorn he was pulling, feeling a little unbelievable for a moment.
Mark was a trainee knight like him before, and trainee knights did not have war horses, but now Mark was riding a unicorn horse, and his identity was needless to say.
You know, before this, his cultivation level was higher than Mark's.
"Hey, you're surprised, I'm an official knight now!"
"And we will soon break through the middle stage of official knighthood!"
Mark spoke excitedly when he found a familiar friend.
"Formal, official knight!"
"You, you really made a breakthrough!"
Portolo spoke with shock.
"of course it's true."
There are many familiar faces among the two knights.
When they intertwined with each other, they soon discovered the changes in each other.
Especially when everyone in the Knights of Maurice Dressrosa discovered the transformation of the strength of each of the Knights of Thor, they couldn't help but open their mouths with a look of shock.
And in the conversation with each other.
Maurice Dressrosa led Thor towards the castle.
The news quickly spread to Dressrosa Castle.
Dressrosa Castle.
In the room on the top floor.
Count Engel was flipping through the books in his hands as usual.
But compared to a year ago, the worry on his brow seemed to be more intense.
Even if the income report of Dressrosa for this year is placed on the table in front of him, and it is obviously better than last year, it is not enough to alleviate his worries.
It's not just the knight's cultivation that cannot break through.
The development of the Dressrosa family has obviously reached a bottleneck.
As new nobles, both the Dressrosa family and Count Engel themselves are full of vitality.
However, the restrictions of the Frost Moon Province made the expansion of the Dressrosa family extremely difficult.
In the past two decades, there hasn't even been much room for development.
"Only two years!"
"Pity!"
Engeldressrosa sighed.
Then he shook his head and prepared to take back his thoughts.
But at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in!"
A gentle voice sounded, and Count Engel frowned. This was the time for him to think, and usually no one would bother him if there was no major matter.
"Crunch!"
There was a soft knock on the wooden door, and the butler Charlie walked in.
"Charlie, what's wrong?"
Looking at the housekeeper who walked in, Count Engel spoke with doubts.
"Master, there is news from the town that Master Thor has returned from the Northland Province and is heading back to the castle now."
Butler Charlie spoke respectfully.
"Oh, Thor?"
Count Engel was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face.
"Our young eagle of Dressrosa is finally back!"
"Let's go and greet him."
Count Engel smiled and stood up immediately.
"yes!"
Butler Charlie was a little surprised and shocked, but he nodded quickly.
After the butler responded, Count Engel tidied himself up and then headed out of the castle.
And with the actions of Count Engel.
The news quickly swept through the entire castle like a whirlwind.
Tordressrosa, who went to the Northland Province to develop, actually returned at this moment.
For a time, countless people were curious, surprised, and excited.
On the school grounds, young men wearing knight armor and bucket helmets were shouting. Everyone's face was extremely determined, and sweat was constantly flowing.
When the news came, all the eyes of these teenagers could not help but light up.
In particular, one of them was sixteen or seventeen years old and a boy who was fourteen or fifteen years old, their eyes were full of excitement.
"It's Brother Thor, he's back!"
The younger boy spoke excitedly.
"Brother Thor, you are finally back!"
"Uncle Michael, the training has been completed, can we go take a look?"
The older boy was equally excited, but in his excitement, he couldn't help but look at Michael next to him, and spoke with a question.
"OK!"
"Go!"
Michael was still surprised by this news, but when he heard the words of the two teenagers, he couldn't help but smile and nod.
Just as he nodded, a gradually blurry figure appeared in his mind again.
Shaking his head, Michael laughed.
Then he didn't care too much.
Being in the Dressrosa family, he has seen a lot of knights from the Dressrosa family who went out to pioneer, as well as knights who returned from pioneering. This is not enough to make him feel strange.
Of course this is only for him.
On the school grounds, a young man was still in a state of excitement.
In the end, several people headed outside the castle.
At this moment, outside the castle.
Count Engel, leading a large number of knights, was already waiting at the door.
When a young man arrived, he happened to see his father. At this time, many people could not help but shrink back and did not dare to approach.
In the end, only the two teenagers came over with a struggle.
"Father!"
The two teenagers were a little embarrassed, but they quickly greeted each other.
Count Engel nodded, looked at the two of them, and then at the figure hiding in the distance, and couldn't help but shake his head.
But he didn't say anything.
The two teenagers were even more cautious, not even daring to take a breath and stood silently behind them.
It seemed that the two teenagers had not been reprimanded.
Finally, a few more people walked over cautiously.
"Father!"
"Father!"
The words were spoken in a low voice, and figures one after another approached Count Engel.
"snort!"
Count Engel couldn't help but snorted coldly.
Hearing this cold snort, the figure that was still moving in the distance stopped abruptly. The few people who had just arrived couldn't help but trembled and quickly lowered their heads.
And just as the little guys were trembling.
A group of people gradually appeared in the distance.
Seeing the figure appearing, a smile appeared on Count Engel's cold face.
Looking at his father's smile.
Many little ones were a little shocked.
Of course, Count Engel didn't care about his sons at this moment.
He recalled the information he had received from his friend in his mind, and the smile on his face grew stronger.
One year.
In just one year, his son was canonized by the palace and became a baron.
This is almost the fastest heir in the entire Dressrosa family history to receive the title of Baron.
How could such an achievement not satisfy him.
During this period of time, it can be said that he has been waiting for Thor's return.
While he was waiting, there was sudden turmoil in the North, which made him worried.
He even began to consider whether to give his two sons some support.
Thor is back.
Thoughts were intertwining, and Engel's thoughts were constantly flowing.
On the other side, Thor and Morris soon discovered the crowd gathering outside the castle.
"Father?"
Seeing the figure outside the castle, Morris looked shocked and his eyes widened involuntarily.
"Thor's father is here!"
Morris muttered to himself, looking a little confused.
Thor nodded, with some surprise and shock in his eyes.
He did not expect that his father would personally greet him at the door.
This seems to be the second time in my memory.
Last time, it seemed that the Marquis came to discuss some matters in person and was treated like this.
