Ryan's Terrifying Talent

After handing Ryan over to Michael, Thor paid the matter no further attention. He had immense faith in Michael. As his father's right-hand man, Michael's strength needed no explanation. An Earth Knight, he was one of the foremost experts in all of Dreyrosa Castle, second only to Thor's father.

More importantly, he was exceptionally skilled at teaching.

After being taught by Michael, one of Thor's older brothers had already reached the peak of Great Knight.

The rest of the Knight Order had also grown larger than before under Michael's guidance.

Leaving Ryan under Michael's instruction would be enough to give him a solid foundation.

Yet even Thor had not expected it.

Ryan's talent was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

In less than half a month.

While Thor was still making preparations to become a Pioneer Knight and using his Intelligence System to obtain useful information.

Michael sent someone to summon him.

"What?"

"Ryan is about to break through to Apprentice Knight?"

Hearing Michael's words, Thor could not help but be shaken, the words slipping out of his mouth.

"Yes!"

"Young Master Thor, I find it hard to believe as well, but it is indeed true. The Life Source Power in Ryan's body has already become abundant. At the latest, he should be able to break through to Apprentice Knight within three days. I was preparing to apply to the Count for a Low-Grade Life Potion."

Michael was equally shaken.

Although he had already witnessed Ryan's talent over the past few days, he was still deeply stunned at this moment.

Even as an Earth Knight, he was no exception.

He could confirm that Ryan had never practiced any knightly methods before.

Yet in just half a month, he was about to break through to Apprentice Knight.

That talent was practically unheard of.

Even he, someone who could be considered a powerhouse of the kingdom, had spent a full three years condensing his Life Seed. Even the Count had apparently spent an entire year condensing his Life Seed back then.

To condense a Life Seed in half a month.

He simply could not imagine how high Ryan's talent was.

"Whew!"

"Thank you, Uncle Michael!"

"I understand. Uncle Michael, I hope you can keep this matter secret for me. Other than Father, do not tell anyone else!"

Thor took a deep breath, expressed his gratitude, then spoke after a brief pause.

Although Ryan had already become his Guardian Knight, Thor still did not want this matter to spread in order to avoid any accidents.

"Alright!"

After pondering for a moment, Michael looked at Thor and ultimately nodded.

"Thank you, Uncle Michael!"

Thor nodded.

"No need to thank me!"

Michael gave Thor a deep look, his heart stirring slightly.

He knew that Ryan had been brought out from among the commoners by Young Master Thor.

However, as the most loyal knight of the Dreyrosa Family, he naturally knew that some things should not be asked about.

He should not even be curious.

After speaking with Thor a few more times, he headed toward the castle.

Since he had said he would apply for a Low-Grade Life Potion, he naturally would not delay.

Thor did not follow him.

Instead, after checking on Ryan.

He continued with his own work.

Meanwhile.

In the study.

Michael had already arrived in Engel Dreyrosa's study.

And reported the matter.

"What?"

"You said Thor's Guardian Knight is about to break through to Apprentice Knight?"

Hearing Michael's report, Count Engel Dreyrosa was startled as well.

Count Engel Dreyrosa naturally knew something about his son's Guardian Knight, and had even sent people to investigate him.

But that was all.

He had not paid much attention to him.

He was merely a Guardian Knight, and the son of a commoner at that. What use could he possibly have?

Yet he had never expected Michael to bring him such news after only half a month.

What Michael knew, he naturally knew as well.

Before this, Ryan had never come into contact with any knightly cultivation methods.

Yet in just half a month, he was about to break through to Apprentice Knight.

After his initial shock, Count Engel Dreyrosa felt his breathing grow heavier.

"Yes, I have already confirmed it!"

"Given the current state of his Life Source Power, he has a seventy to eighty percent chance of breaking through!"

Michael nodded again.

As he listened to his Knight Captain's words, Count Engel Dreyrosa began pacing back and forth, his eyes flickering constantly.

Michael did not interrupt him and simply waited quietly.

A moment later.

Count Engel Dreyrosa stopped.

"Charlie!"

He called out.

Soon, the door opened, and Butler Charlie entered.

"Go fetch a Low-Grade Life Potion. Cabinet One, first row, seventh bottle—no, the third bottle in the first row instead, and the fifth bottle from Cabinet Two!"

Count Engel Dreyrosa ordered.

"Yes!"

Charlie was somewhat shocked, but he quickly nodded.

"Michael, I understand the matter. As for the Low-Grade Life Potion, I will have Thor deliver it later. You may return first!"

After giving his instructions, Count Engel Dreyrosa spoke to Michael.

"Yes!"

Michael nodded. He was not overly surprised and quickly departed.

After Michael left, Count Engel Dreyrosa ordered a servant to summon Thor.

Thor had originally been making preparations. Upon hearing his father's summons, he had no choice but to set everything aside and hurry to the study.

By the time Thor arrived.

Charlie had already returned with the items.

"Father!"

Thor spoke respectfully.

After he spoke, Count Engel Dreyrosa did not respond. Instead, he gave his son a long, deep look.

Thor did not dare interrupt and simply kept his head lowered.

Fortunately, Count Engel Dreyrosa did not continue staring.

After pondering briefly, he spoke.

"Thor, you have done well!"

"This is a set of Silver Armor, along with a Mid-Grade Life Potion. You may give them to your Guardian Knight!"

As soon as he said this, Thor could not help but look up in surprise.

A set of Silver Armor and a Mid-Grade Life Potion.

He had never expected his father to be so generous.

A set of Silver Armor alone was worth more than a hundred gold coins, not to mention the Intermediate Life Potion. It was useful even for Great Knights breaking through to Earth Knight, worth at least a thousand gold coins, and was the kind of item that could not be bought even with money.

Yet his father was telling him to give these things to Ryan.
