Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence

Chapter 564 - 327: The Shocked Great Pharmacist Samp, Territory Expansion Scope_2

As he approached the desk, his pupils involuntarily contracted sharply.

"What is this?"

Samp instinctively spoke, but his words came out with a shiver.

"Take a look!"

Thor spoke again.

"Okay, alright!"

Samp quickly responded, then, with trembling hands, picked up the book.

And at that moment, his gaze was completely captivated by the book.

Watching the excited Samp, Thor smiled, saying nothing, for this was a scene he had long anticipated.

This world is both relatively open and relatively closed.

For example, within the Kingdom, the Sky Knight is an enormous threshold for ninety percent of the nobility. Even ordinary Marquis Families might not ensure their family can produce a Sky Knight, let alone other families. If not for Thor unexpectedly obtaining a Fruit of Life, Marquis Engle might never have achieved the Sky Knight in his lifetime.

Not to mention the Knight’s Breathing Technique, as well as knowledge from other areas.

But upon reaching the Duke, the situation changes entirely.

The Duke Family can already engage with the Empire.

Although their access is not extensive, and the authority they hold may not be substantial, the Sky Knight is no longer a limitation for them.

They can easily obtain a large number of High-Level Life Potions and Fruits of Life.

Furthermore, even the Top Knight’s Breathing Technique is not much of a problem for them.

And such is the case for other matters as well.

In the Kingdom, Pharmaceutical Technique is an extremely important existence, even in top kingdoms.

Great Pharmacist Samp has such a reputation in the Tulip Kingdom primarily because he can produce Mid-Level Life Potions without being a Mage.

Such an accomplishment in the Kingdom.

At least among the Three Northern Countries, it is unparalleled.

But in the Empire, while such existence is not ubiquitous, there are still quite a number.

Some can even produce High-Level Life Potions without being Mages.

Of course, compared to that, this book’s greater importance lies in being a complete foundational text on Pharmaceutical Technique.

This provides Great Pharmacist Samp with a more perfect foundation.

"Rustle!"

In the room, only the sound of turning pages could be heard.

Thor did not disturb, while Samp was completely immersed in the book.

Whether in surprise, frowning, or in confusion.

A multitude of expressions continued to spread.

Time quietly slipped away unnoticed.

Before they knew it, more than two hours had passed.

As dusk began to set, Samp finally set down the book in his hands, his expression filled with enlightenment, yet seeming to have more doubts.

"Thank you, my lord!"

With a deep breath, Samp finally returned to his senses, slightly bowed toward Thor.

He clearly understood the immense value this book held for him.

Without exaggeration, before this book, he almost couldn’t find any path forward; now, having merely skimmed through it, he felt that the closed road ahead had once again opened up, and he seemed to see a broader future.

He just needed to return and study it seriously.

He even felt confident that within a month, he could produce High-Level Life Potions.

"No need to thank me; this was prepared for you!"

"Oh, here are some Star Moon Fruit and Purple Gold Grass seeds too. Take them with you and let Allen try planting them!"

Thor chuckled, shook his head, then gestured to the two bags of seeds beside him.

"Thank you, my lord!"

Upon hearing about the Star Moon Fruit and Purple Gold Grass seeds, Samp’s eyes brightened even further.

"Go on!"

"I’m awaiting good news from you next!"

Thor nodded with a smile, then waved him away.

"Yes!"

Samp nodded, his figure bowed as he swiftly retreated.

Watching Samp leave, Thor couldn’t help but let out a long breath.

The seeds have been sown, and it’s now time to harvest.

With that High-Level Pharmaceutical Technique General Solution, along with Star Moon Fruit and Purple Gold Grass seeds, the territory should soon be self-sufficient with High-Level Life Potions.

And not just High-Level Life Potions.

Thor believes that with Samp’s abilities, those other High-Level Magic Potions should also be possible, and when that time comes, Eagle Ridge’s development will be secured and fortified.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

As his thoughts were flowing, Thor was interrupted by a knock on the door before he could continue considering other matters.

"Enter!"

Thor called out, pulling back his thoughts.

"My lord!"

Pelos entered, his expression filled with respect.

After several months, Pelos had finally taken that last step, reaching the Earth Knight level.

Thus becoming the fifth Earth Knight in Eagle Ridge, after Thor, Reine, Marshall, and Steve.

"It seems you haven’t disappointed me."

Looking at Pelos, Thor nodded slightly.

"My lord!"

Pelos was overwhelmed with emotion, unable to stop himself from speaking.

Earth Knight—previously, he couldn’t even imagine that one day he could become an Earth Knight.

His confidence in surpassing Earth Knight was even weaker than Steve’s.

Yet now, in only three years, he had crossed that threshold.

The excitement, the blush, and the gratitude towards Thor were beyond words.

"My lord, what should I do next?"

After the initial excitement, Pelos took a deep breath, calming himself before speaking.

"Pelos, currently, the territory’s development is handled by civil servants; we don’t need a large number of high-level knights. However, the expansion of the Eagle Merchant Association still requires many strong knights. Recently, Rajos Assad has been preparing to expand towards the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom. Why don’t you go to Rajos Assad next, he’ll assign you tasks."

Responding to Pelos’s query, Thor tapped the table.

He had many plans for this individual.

But after some consideration, he quickly rejected all but one.

That is to expand the Eagle Merchant Association.

As he mentioned, Eagle Ridge currently does not need the power of Earth Knights, not for now. With him, Reine, and past prestige, there won’t be any nobility brave enough to cause trouble.

Remaining serves no purpose and would be better used elsewhere.

As previously mentioned, the Eagle Merchant Association aims to expand not only in the Tulip Kingdom but throughout the Three Northern Countries.

Pelos’ ability, though just breaking through as an Earth Knight, is sufficient for initial exploratory missions.

As for future operations, further strengthening can take place.

Anyway, as time progresses, Eagle Ridge’s strength can continue to grow.

It’s expected that soon, Eagle Ridge will experience a true period of growth, empowered by the backing of the Empire. Eagle Ridge’s development won’t be matched by other families.

Don’t even mention a Count’s Clan; even top-level Marquis cannot compare.

"Yes!"

Pelos paused for a moment, but quickly nodded in agreement.
