Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence Chapter 37: Awakening

Inside the castle.

In a spacious room.

Neil Morton slowly awakened from his slumber.

"Am I not dead?"

Neil Morton’s expression carried a hint of confusion.

In his last mory, his body was invaded by Mandala Poison.

Theoretically, without a high-tier priest or a substantial supply of Life Source Power, he should have already died.

But at this mont, he seed not to have returned to the embrace of the Goddess of Life.

He could still feel his body and everything around him.

He could even sense that he was likely inside a castle.

"Was I rescued by soone?"

The confusion arose, and Neil Morton was filled with curiosity.

His expression also carried a touch of contemplation.

And while he was puzzled.

Suddenly, he seed to sense sothing, and his gaze instantly shifted to the door.

And at the very mont he looked towards the door.

"Creak!"

The wooden door made a light sound, and in the next mont, a figure appeared in his sight.

It was a young knight, appearing to be only about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a tall stature, handso appearance, and a sense of composure.

"It seems, sir, that you are already awake!"

"How are you feeling?"

A gentle voice sounded, and Thor spoke with a smile, looking at Neil Morton.

"Thank you for saving , I’m imnsely grateful!"

"I’m feeling much better!"

Neil Morton slightly perford a knight’s salute.

Hearing Thor’s words, looking at Thor’s expression, and everything around, Neil Morton naturally understood what had happened.

"You are too kind, sir!"

Thor shook his head with a smile.

"No, no, this is not just politeness, without your help, I might have perished in the forest."

Neil Morton shook his head, speaking seriously.

As a Sky Knight, he was well aware of his situation at the ti. Without the intervention of the person in front of him, he would have certainly died.

Moreover, he could imagine that the other party likely paid a considerable price.

The Life Seed within him was nearly exhausted at the ti; without a substantial supply of Source Power, it would have been impossible to reactivate it. Yet in the end, his Life Seed was reactivated, so the outco was self-evident.

Neil Morton was not one to overlook gratitude.

Seeing Neil Morton’s serious expression, Thor couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It was evident that the mysterious elder before him was not soone who lacked gratitude.

And this was undoubtedly a very good result.

"Sir, you can just call Thor. Upon hearing of your awakening, I have already had the servants prepare food."

"I hope it is my honor to invite you!"

A gentle voice sounded, and Thor then invited Neil Morton.

"Then thank you, Sir Thor!"

Neil Morton hesitated slightly before nodding in gratitude. He had noticed that the other party was not wearing a nobility emblem, but he still held great respect for his savior.

As for eating, nearly two months had passed without food, and even with the Life Potion, Neil Morton’s stomach felt extrely hungry.

"It’s my honor!"

Thor nodded with a smile, then led Neil Morton to the dining hall.

Once the two were seated.

Plates of food were promptly laid out before them.

"I wonder, Lord Neil, where are you from?"

A gentle voice sounded as Thor donned his napkin, elegantly partaking in the food before him, his words filled with curiosity as he looked at Neil Morton.

"I co from the eastern part of the Tulip Kingdom, not from here."

"It’s a beautiful place filled with ilandi."

Neil Morton spoke with a touch of sentint, his thoughts slightly drifting, drifting back to his distant holand, and he thought of that figure, his expression sowhat forlorn.

"I’m really sorry, I was presumptuous and gave you an unpleasant experience!"

Thor quickly spoke upon seeing Neil Morton’s expression.

"No, no, Sir Thor, it wasn’t an unpleasant experience, you misunderstood!"

"I haven’t even thanked you for your assistance and hospitality!"

"Do you have any need of assistance? If it’s within my ability, I will certainly try my best."

Neil Morton shook his head and then shifted the topic, looking at Thor and speaking earnestly.

"Lord Neil, you are too kind. Helping others is the virtue of every knight, is it not?"

Thor spoke with a smile.

"Indeed it is!"

Neil Morton paused for a mont, then smiled lightly and nodded.

He did not continue to press the matter.

The two then continued their al.

And after the al.

Thor parted ways with Neil Morton.

Neil Morton was very strong, Thor even suspected that the other party might be a Sky Knight.

Even if he wasn’t, he was certainly an Earth Peak Knight like his father, and for such an existence, Thor naturally wanted to keep him close.

Repaying the favor.

He wasn’t rejecting it.

But he wanted sothing more.

Since he desired more, he couldn’t rush things.

Especially after their interaction, Thor could tell that Neil Morton seed to be quite agreeable.

This undoubtedly sparked many ideas in him.

For example, to make this person stay permanently.

What is most lacking in the entire Eagle Ridge at present?

Not resources, nor population.

On the resource side, there is currently a large amount of Gold Coins provided by his father, and now they’ve acquired a large iron ore deposit. Furthermore, if trade routes can be opened, Eagle Ridge is not lacking in anything.

As for population.

That’s even less of an issue.

The opening of trade routes and constant influx of wealth should be more than enough to quickly boost the population.

In comparison, what Eagle Ridge truly lacks is high-end combat power.

Located in the Northern Province, compared to other Lords, his power is not weak at all, even stronger than that of typical Baron Territories.

But the real danger in the Northern Province is not the Pioneer Knights or the Lords; it’s the Northern Province itself.

As the forr domain of the Beastn.

The Northern Province is not only filled with a large number of demon beasts but also a significant number of Beastn.

Even though large numbers of Beastn have been cleared out.

It’s only large numbers; nobody can really estimate how many Beastn are in the Northern Province.

And among these Beastn, there are very weak species like goblins, but also powerful ones like Titans and Behemoths.

Not to ntion a large number of demon beasts.

The high-level monster’s threat to the territory is a very real concern.

Although Reine will inevitably beco a Sky Knight in the future, that’s the future, not the present.

Right now, the strongest individual in Eagle Ridge is Steve, who is a Great Knight.

To deal with demon beasts, he can only handle Tier Two Magical Beasts. Just encountering one Tier Three Magical Beast would be a challenge.

And there are inevitably Tier Three Magical Beasts and Tier Three Beastn in the Northern Province.

At this mont, with a super strong combatant in front of him, Thor surely wanted to keep him, especially since he seed pretty decent.
