Anna has many problems. First of all, she is a half-elf girl. This must be related to the elves. Even if she is only a half-elf girl, the elves will take her back once they find out. Not to mention that Anna has signed a contract with the natural elves. The contract itself has turned into an existence similar to the natural elves, and the elves have to take it back.
As for Karenina, Anna's full name is Anna Karenina. Even if Anna doesn't tell her story, there is still a big problem.
As one of the three Dukes of the Kingdom, Thor did not want to provoke Karenina rashly.
At least not yet.
So from the beginning, he was prepared.
"As long as you understand!"
"Take a good rest at home these days. It's too hasty for you to come back. I need to prepare for a while."
"About half a month. There won't be too many problems in your territory. You should have left Pelos behind. It's not a smart decision to leave your own safety in the hands of others!"
Count Engel nodded, then seemed to think of something and couldn't help but frown and spoke.
"Father, Ren has been promoted to Grand Knight, and Steve has also been promoted. With them and the Maine Alliance, nothing will happen to the territory."
Thor explained with a smile.
He naturally knew that his father had most likely misunderstood.
"Oh, so fast?"
Listening to Thor's words, Count Engel was a little shocked and couldn't help but speak.
It wasn't Steve's promotion that shocked him. As the knight captain assigned to his son, Steve's strength was not weak. He was infinitely close to the great knight. The breakthrough was expected, but he didn't expect that Renn would actually do it. It also broke through.
It's just over a year now.
This speed can really be said to be terrifying.
"Yes, Renn has already broken through a few months ago, and his strength is already stronger than the second-order peak orcs."
Thor smiled and nodded, with a proud look on his face.
"Yes, use it well, Renne will become your most important strength in the future!"
"It's not too early. You're tired today. That's all. Take a good rest. Just take this book back and read it for now."
Count Engel nodded, then looked at the sky and spoke to Ren.
"Father, I didn't bring anything with me when I returned this time. I hope this can help you."
Thor nodded, and then took out the wooden box containing the Fruit of Life from his arms.
"Okay, put it on the table!"
Count Engel nodded without looking too concerned.
Although Thor became a baron, he was only a baron. He didn't think Thor could offer anything.
But since it was his son's wish, he naturally accepted it.
"yes!"
Thor nodded without explaining, placed the wooden box on the desk, and then left.
At this moment, the sky has completely entered the night.
There was also silence in the castle.
As Thor walked out, a male servant quickly stepped forward.
He led Thor to his room.
Familiar room, familiar bedroom.
Thor couldn't help but feel a touch of emotion.
But he quickly shook his head and washed up under the restrained service.
Lying down.
The night is getting darker.
"Ding, the daily intelligence system has been updated!"
"Do you want to open it?"
"Open!"
As new information appeared, Thor's consciousness was immediately projected into the daily information.
And in the study room.
Count Engel did not fall asleep, but was still thinking about some issues.
His brows gradually wrinkled again.
Until the time passed into the early morning.
Count Engel shook his head, put his thoughts back, and prepared to go back to his room to sleep.
But when he got up, he noticed the wooden box on the desk.
"Thor!"
Count Engel laughed, but still stood up and walked forward.
Pick up the wooden box and open it gently.
A somewhat unfamiliar fruit came into view, making him slightly stunned.
"Sour fruit?"
Count Engel was a little confused.
But this doubt had just spread, and the next moment his pupils couldn't help but widen.
"This, this is?"
There was a vibrato in his voice.
His breathing became heavier at this moment.
Because at this moment, he gradually felt something strange from the sour fruit.
Without hesitation, his right hand touched directly.
And the moment he touched her, his expression completely changed.
"This, this is the fruit of life!"
Count Engel murmured to himself, his eyes widening even more.
"Thor!"
Suddenly Count Engel thought of something, and his eyes instantly looked towards the wooden door.
"Charlie!"
When he spoke, Count Engel suppressed his excitement and spoke.
"master!"
The wooden door was opened, and the butler Charlie walked in.
"Go and see if Thor is asleep. If not, ask him to come over!"
"If you fall asleep, forget it."
Count Engel spoke.
"yes!"
Butler Charlie responded quickly.
He quickly retreated.
Count Engel, on the other hand, kept walking back and forth in the room. When he looked at the wooden box, his expression kept changing.
Until, the door was knocked again.
"Please come in!"
Count Engel spoke.
"Master, Master Thor has taken a rest!"
Butler Charlie spoke respectfully.
"okay, I get it!"
Count Engel took a long breath and then nodded.
Butler Charlie immediately withdrew.
The night is getting darker.
But that night, Count Engel took the initiative to have no sleep.
When the morning sun shines.
The long-lost feeling of comfort spreads.
Under Anna's service, Thor finished washing, put on his clothes, and was about to have breakfast when the butler Charlie appeared in front of him.
"Master Thor, I want you to come over here!"
Butler Charlie spoke respectfully.
"good!"
Thor smiled, not too surprised.
After greeting Anna, the figure followed the butler Charlie to the top floor again.
After a while, Thor came to the study again.
"Charlie, let me know, no one can disturb you next time."
Count Engel spoke.
"yes!"
Butler Charlie nodded and then backed out.
Soon, only Count Engel and Thor were left in the room again.
And the wooden box was still placed quietly in place.
For a moment the whole air was silent.
Count Engel looked at Thor and subconsciously wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say in the middle of the sentence.
"Father!"
In the silence, Thor broke the deadlock and called softly.
"Thor, you should know what you gave me, right?"
Taking a deep breath, Count Engel looked at Thor and spoke slowly.
"Know!"
"This is an unexpected income. My father should be not far from the Sky Knight. With this fruit of life, I should have a chance to attack the Sky Knight."
Thor nodded and spoke seriously.
When he discovered the fruit tree of life, Thor thought of his father.
The family has given him a lot of support, and Thor naturally needs some gifts.
That ripe fruit of life is undoubtedly the best choice.
As one of the main ingredients of advanced life potions, the fruit of life, even if taken alone, has the possibility of allowing the earth knight to break through the sky knight.
His father, Count Engel, was already at the top of the Earth Knights. Using the Fruit of Life, there was not only a high probability of breaking through the Sky Knights, but at least a certain probability.
The one he got before was needed to change his own destiny, but he didn't take it out. Naturally, he doesn't mind taking out the second one.
And listen to Thor's words.
Count Engel's expression became increasingly complicated.
He looked deeply at Thor.
It wasn't until a moment later that he sighed.
"You'd better take it back!"
"You need it more than me!"
As the words rang out, Count Engel felt his heart trembling, but he still spoke.
The eagle needs to protect its young, this is the purpose of Dressrosa.
He has always adhered to this.
Thor has shown enough potential. The only problem is that his strength is too weak and his talent is too weak. This will become the most fatal problem for Thor's future development.
This fruit of life can indeed allow him to almost attack the Sky Knight, but it is also enough to make up for Thor's lack of talent and strength.
With this life, it is actually not very possible for Thor to become the sky in the future, but there is a glimmer of possibility for the Earth Knight.
Thor was a little surprised when he heard Count Engel's words.
But after the accident, he didn't say anything.
The majestic life force in his body surged out directly.
The terrifying cold air began to spread.
Underfoot, there was even a hint of white frost spreading.
"This is?"
The sudden burst of life force surprised Count Engel, but soon his pupils widened involuntarily.
The figure couldn't help but stand up all of a sudden.
Because this terrifying life force at this moment is not a trainee knight at all, nor is it a formal knight.
It has suddenly reached the level of a great knight.
"you?"
With his eyes widened, Count Engel didn't know how to express his inner shock at this moment.
Great Knight.
His own son is already a great knight.
Count Engel knew about his son.
His talent is not very strong. Being able to break through the ranks of trainee knights and gather life seeds at the age of eighteen may be due to luck. The greatest achievement in this life is most likely to be just a formal knight. Even the great knights are a little bit in doubt.
But in less than two years, when they met again, his son was already a great knight.
How could he not be shocked at this moment?
For a moment, Count Engel didn't know how his thoughts should flow.
"Father, the Fruit of Life is not of much use to me. It is most useful to you. If you can break through the Sky Knights, the Dressrosa family may really be promoted to the Marquis Family. This will be of great use to my son. , maybe it will help even more!"
Facing the shock of his father, Count Engel, Thor pondered for a moment, and then spoke slowly.
He wasn't kidding.
Once the Dressrosa family is promoted to Marquis, he will also gain a lot, at least the development of the Northland Province will be smoother.
Marquis and Earl, this is not a conceptual existence.
There are more than a dozen earls in the huge Frost Moon Province, and there are no less than fifty or sixty earls in the entire Tulip Kingdom, but the total number of marquises in the entire Tulip Kingdom does not exceed twenty, making them one of the true top nobles.
"Thor, seriously, you really surprised me this time!"
"I now believe that you are really favored by the goddess of life!"
"I accepted the fruit of life."
Count Engel took a deep breath, looked at Thor deeply, and then spoke slowly.
He did not continue to refuse. Thor's actions were enough for him to understand his son's thoughts, and he couldn't help but be touched in his heart.
"Father, let me hear your good news!"
Thor smiled and nodded.
His expression was also extremely relaxed.
It's just a fruit of life. Now he already has a fruit tree of life, which will continue to produce fruit in the future.
And if the Fruit of Life can allow his father to advance, even if he cannot become a Marquis in the end, this harvest will be enough.
Sky Knight.
That's the Sky Knight.
And he is his own father, which is different from Neal Morton.
"Sky Knights are not that easy to break through. There is also a Star-Moon Fruit in the family. Next, I will make preparations to see if I can get information about another main material. If I can get it, let people configure it. It is safe to reach a high-level life potion. There is no need to be so anxious now, the Kingdom War still has two years to go. "
Count Engel shook his head, and then spoke solemnly.
Thor nodded, naturally not refuting anything.
The Fruit of Life was handed over to his father, so what Count Engel would do with it was naturally not something he needed to consider.
Then the father and son talked for a while again.
Thor then said goodbye and left.
Watching Thor leave, Count Engel couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
He didn't expect that one day he would receive a big gift from his son.
A fruit of life is truly a great gift.
One of the three main ingredients of high-level life potions, only the fruit of life is the most precious and special, and it is also the most difficult to obtain.
In the Royal Capital Auction, once the Fruit of Life appears, it is truly priceless.
It's not even something that can be measured by gold coins.
It is not something that an ordinary earl can obtain, even a powerful earl is a bit overwhelmed.
