A Month's Time

Drinking two Mid-Grade Life Potions made Thor somewhat nervous. Over the next few days, he paid even closer attention to the old man's condition. Fortunately, to his relief, the old man's state did not continue to worsen. Instead, it clearly began to improve, while the fluctuations of Life Source Power around him grew increasingly numerous.

Clearly, he was probably not going to die.

Only then did Thor finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Just as he had said before.

No joke, he had already invested quite a bit in the old man before him.

If the old man really died, he would suffer a huge loss.

That was not something he wanted to see.

"Ryan, make sure someone takes good care of him!"

After fully confirming that the old man would be all right, Thor rose to his feet and gave Ryan an order.

"Yes!"

Ryan hurriedly nodded.

After checking on the old man, Thor paid him no further attention.

After all, compared to the potential unexpected surprise the old man might bring, what mattered most to him now was the construction of his entire territory.

Over the following period, he devoted all his attention to developing the territory.

Under his plans,

the pace of construction accelerated further and further.

The liberation of several slaves in particular seemed to inject the remaining slaves with stimulants.

Their enthusiasm was completely roused.

Under such circumstances, a month quickly passed.

Over that month,

Eagle Ridge underwent tremendous changes.

Fields were reclaimed one after another.

Buildings rose from the ground one after another.

Even Eagle Castle, the most important structure, had now taken on a complete shape.

Perhaps before long, Eagle Castle would be fully completed.

More importantly, however, were the wheat seedlings in the fields.

Although they had been planted a little late, thanks to knowledge from Thor's previous life, not only were the wheat seedlings free of any problems, but they were growing even better than originally expected.

After one month, the wheat seedlings had already reached a height of one inch.

The smiles on everyone's faces in the fields grew brighter and brighter.

They were filled with hope for the future.

No one even needed to supervise them.

Early in the morning, many serfs had already taken the initiative to head into the fields to work.

"Lord Thor truly is extraordinary. Once we spread this manure, the wheat seedlings really do grow faster!"

"Isn't that the truth? Back in my hometown, it would take at least two months for wheat seedlings to grow this large. It's only been one month here, yet they've already grown this much, and they're incredibly healthy too."

"Yes, yes!"

"Lord Thor is amazing!"

"Of course. Lord Thor is favored by the Goddess of Life."

"By the way, have you heard?"

"What is it?"

"Let me tell you, I heard it from one of the knights. In three months, Lord Thor will once again choose a group of the best-performing people to free from slavery."

"Really?!"

"Of course it's true. I've heard it too!"

"This...!"

"Lord Thor is far too benevolent. May the Goddess of Life be with Lord Thor!"

"May the Goddess of Life be with Lord Thor."

As the figures in the fields chatted, the numbness and lifelessness from before had long vanished. Everyone was filled with hope for their future lives.

Especially after Thor told all the slaves that he would free another group of them in three months.

This undoubtedly made everyone even more excited.

They looked forward to the life ahead even more.

At this moment, Eagle Territory had undoubtedly undergone tremendous changes compared to the territories of other Pioneer Knights.

And these changes

were destined to be only the beginning.

It was foreseeable that even more changes would follow.

With memories from his previous life, Thor's planning and construction of the territory surpassed that of countless nobles of this era.

Even the highest-ranking nobles and the kingdom's most elite figures could not compare to the knowledge in the mind of a transmigrator like him.

More importantly,

with the repeated awakenings of Daily Intelligence, he had obtained information about quite a few resource sites.

This information about resource sites was enough to support his actions.

The changes it could bring would undoubtedly only grow greater.

Morning gradually passed.

Dawn arrived again as expected.

"Ding! The Intelligence System has been updated!"

"Would you like to open it?"

The mechanical voice rang out, just as it did every day.

"Open!"

Thor spoke softly as well.

"Buzz!"

Daily Intelligence Updated

1: Fifty miles from your territory, there is a Timid Goblin settlement. That group of Timid Goblins controls a Large Iron Mine.

2: Three days from now, a herd of unicorns will pass through the upper reaches of the Maine River Valley. Their unicorn leader has reached Peak Second-Tier.

3: Three miles to the left of Eagle Ridge, there is an Earth Mouse settlement.

4: One hundred miles to the right, an Ethereal Dragon left its nest yesterday. It has now been occupied by a group of earth dragons, and it contains the treasures it collected.

5: One thousand miles from Loren City, in Falling Leaf Valley, there is a small iron mine guarded by goblins.

6: Three days from now.!

7: Seven days from now

Lines of text appeared one after another.

As the territory he had chosen, the Maine River Valley was undoubtedly rich in resources. Of the ten entries, most were resource sites.

There were even several that made his heart race.

For example, the Large Iron Mine controlled by the Timid Goblins.

Iron mines were also extremely valuable resources in this era, especially Large Iron Mines, because they generally contained Mithril Iron, a magical material capable of forging silver weapons.

A single Large Iron Mine was often enough to tempt even a Count.

Thor was no exception.

If his territory could secure that Large Iron Mine, it would gain a long-term, stable economic pillar.

Its value was beyond imagination.

Besides the goblin iron mine, there was also the Ethereal Dragon's nest he had previously investigated, as well as the unicorns.

Every one of them was immensely valuable.

But one had to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.

Most of these resource sites were not something he could obtain right now.

For example, the Ethereal Dragon's territory.

There was a group of earth dragons there. Any adult earth dragon was at the third tier, and the earth dragon leader might even have reached the fourth tier.

Forget him—even if his father came, he would have to think carefully about it.

After all, those were third-tier, perhaps even fourth-tier existences.

And they were dragons.

Even if earth dragons possessed only a trace of dragon blood, they were still extraordinarily powerful and could not be compared to ordinary magical beasts.

Generally, only Sky Knights had any confidence in dealing with them.

And not just any Sky Knight—only high-ranking Sky Knights would have a way to handle them.
