Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence Chapter 166 - 128: The Strength of the Nobility, Assad Famil

"If you don’t say it, I’ll have to return that item."

Ruby said with a chuckle.

"This!"

Thor hesitated for a mont, a trace of indecision on his face.

"Alright then!"

"Let’s leave it at that, the auction is about to start, don’t you have things to attend to, Thor?"

"Perhaps later, one of my two sons might be heading to the Northern Province and will need your care."

Ruby chuckled again and patted Thor on the shoulder.

"Alright then!"

Listening to Ruby’s words, Thor accepted the suggestion.

"That’s more like it!"

"Co on, I heard there are quite a few Fox Girls being sold this ti."

"Fox Girls?"

The three continued their conversation.

Laughing and chatting, they headed towards the auction.

The Assad Family’s auction is located at the center of Pat City.

There’s an extrely large venue here.

After more than an hour of walking, they finally arrived.

However, entry to the auction requires an invitation.

Both the Dressrosa Family and Ruby possessed one.

Upon showing them, they were quickly ushered inside, and despite the tension between the Assad Family and Dressrosa Family, it didn’t have any impact.

In fact, Thor and the rest were led to a private room on the second floor.

"Not to ntion anything else, just the deanor here can’t be compared to by the Erson Family. No wonder the Assad Family is considered one of the strongest among the Count’s Clans."

Seeing the spacious room and deferential attendants, Thor couldn’t help but remark.

Indeed, as he said, compared to the Erson Family, it’s simply insignificant.

In Loren City, Kolon Erson often troubled him.

The Erson Family extorted them through the territory.

Within Pat City, Amor also clashed with them.

And now, it’s entirely a heaven and earth difference.

"Of course, you know, the Assad Family is said to be aiming to advance to Marquis Family status in this Kingdom War. Wonder if they have a chance."

Ruby couldn’t help but express his thoughts.

"Ruby brother, just how strong do you think the Assad Family is? They seem to have only five Earth Knights on the surface?"

Morris curiously asked.

With his query, Thor’s interest was piqued.

The strength of the Assad Family clearly isn’t sothing defined by just five Earth Knights.

"Certainly not."

"What you see on the surface is just what’s visible. Our Dressrosa Family on the surface only has Uncle and Michael as Earth Knights, but if it were really just them, our Dressrosa Family would’ve been devoured with nothing left."

Ruby said with a smile.

Upon hearing Ruby’s words, Thor and Morris weren’t too surprised.

Morris obviously knew so things, while Thor had surmised it.

Previously, Ruby was an Earth Knight, which made him suspicious, and now it’s just verification.

Ultimately, his cousin Ruby Dressrosa is an Earth Knight, then what about the others in the Dressrosa Family? The Dressrosa Family has been developing for over three hundred years, his father had over twenty descendants, and several other generations surely aren’t too few either.

Moreover, the sa could be said about the Dressrosa Family and the Erson Family.

If Deguli claims no relation with the Erson Family, Thor wouldn’t believe it.

Both families being like this, one can only imagine the depth of nobility’s hidden strength in this world.

Seeing their expressions, Ruby was a bit surprised.

But only surprised.

After pondering for a mont, he continued to speak.

"The Assad Family appears to have five Earth Knights, though I’m uncertain about the exact number, it certainly isn’t fewer than ten Earth Knights, and at least three at Earth Knight Peak. Only with such power can they surpass most Count’s Clans."

"You must understand an Earth Knight Peak, almost equivalent to three or even five ordinary Earth Knights, holds an entirely different significance."

"Like our Dressrosa Family, it’s because we have an Earth Knight Peak elder that we’re considered strong among the Count’s Clans."

Ruby couldn’t help but speak his thoughts.

His goal is just Earth Knight Peak.

Sky Knight is too distant a dream for soone of their rank.

Not just a matter of talent, but also a significant issue of resources.

Purple Gold Grass and Star Moon Fruit are fine, but the Fruit of Life is almost entirely controlled by the Royal Court and the Three Great Dukes, making it nearly impossible for others to obtain.

Not to ntion the Knight’s Breathing Technique required to break through to Sky Knight.

While exchanging rits can easily grant one the Knight’s Breathing Technique to break through into an Earth Knight, breaking through into Sky Knight, even with the slightest probability, cos at an exorbitant price.

Given his talent, he might have opportunities to strive for Sky Knight in the Empire, but practically none in the Kingdom.

Ruby never considered anything beyond Earth Knight Peak.

Which is already more than enough.

His high status within the Pat Family almost guarantees he’ll beco Earth Knight Peak in the future.

The Pat Family doesn’t lack ordinary Earth Knights.

The Assad Family has at least ten Earth Knights, while the Pat Family visibly has no fewer than ten Earth Knights, likely even more.

Twenty, twenty-five, even thirty are possible.

Commanding much of the Frost Moon Province, the resources owned by the Pat Family are incomparable to other Count’s Clans.

Pat City alone yields a hefty Gold Coins revenue annually, not to ntion various other boosts.

Over centuries, the entire family’s accumulated strength is terrifying.

Considering all this, Ruby felt so nostalgia.

As Ruby reflected,

Morris couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

Thor was taken aback as well.

Despite his assumptions, Ruby’s words were shocking.

At least ten Earth Knights, plus three at Earth Knight Peak level.

Such strength, even hearing it sends chills down one’s spine.

"That’s really powerful!"

Morris couldn’t help but express his thoughts.

Thor shook his head and sighed softly.

His territory, he wondered how long it would take to match up.

"By the way, Thor, Morris, you ca this ti wanting to purchase Purple Gold Grass, right."

"It might be difficult, setting aside its authenticity, even if it is real, competition will be fierce. Unfortunately, I don’t have Assad’s Golden Card, otherwise, it would be much simpler."

Ruby seed to have thought of sothing, and his words turned to the main topic.

"Golden Card?"

Thor was taken aback.

"Assad Family’s Golden Card isn’t easy to obtain!"

Morris couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.

He, who often traveled outside, knew the difficulty in acquiring one.

As they continued their conversation.

"Is this it?"

Thor suddenly spoke up, holding a Golden Card in his hand.

"What is this?"

Ruby and Morris were taken aback, instinctively gazing at it.

With just one look.

Ruby and Morris were both stunned.

"This, this is?"

Morris’s eyes widened, disbelief evident on his face.

Ruby’s expression showed a hint of surprise.

"How do I use this?"

Thor asked curiously, this was given to him by Rajos when he left, unexpectedly it had an additional use.
