In the study, Thorâs voice broke the silence, and the expressions of the three gradually turned solemn.
Even if they had anticipated it.
They were still taken aback at the thought of such a massive Pioneer Knight Order.
The strength was already comparable to launching a small-scale Beastman War.
Yet now it was merely the vanguard of the Pioneer Knight Order.
It could be expected that more Pioneer Knight Orders would enter the Northern Territory soon.
Even if only a tenth of them chose the Northern Province.
It would be enough to elevate the number of Pioneer Knights in the Northern Province to a new level.
The hearts of the three fluctuated somewhat.
"Young Master Thor, this is probably only a part."
"In the next half year, the Pioneer Knight Orders throughout the Northern Province might directly multiply, and the number in the Northern Territory Pioneer Knight Order would only increase."
"The existence of the Danube River would tempt anyone."
"Young Master Thor, I want to know, how strong is the support that Mr. Neil can provide you?"
Michael spoke slowly, with a serious expression.
As one of the main ingredients for the Low-Level Life Potion, the "Agate" from the Danube River was extremely important to the powerful descendants of both Count and Marquis families.
Mastering this resource meant having the opportunity to continually produce Low-Level Life Potions, which was crucial for their future development.
Currently, Thorâs Eagle Merchant Association occupied about seventy or eighty percent of the production, a profit substantial enough to tempt any powerful noble descendant.
As mentioned earlier, even if the Dressrosa Family were a Countâs family now, not even a powerful Marquis family could ensure holding onto this.
So he asked the most crucial question of the moment.
That was, to what extent could that Sky Knight assist Thor?
Only by knowing this could he make corresponding handling methods.
"Uncle Michael, I once saved Mr. Neilâs life, but this time I donât intend to use his power."
Thor looked at Michael, naturally understanding what he meant, but he shook his head, speaking in a deep voice.
"Young Master Thor, you?"
Upon hearing Thorâs words, Michael was a bit shocked, first surprised that Thor had actually rescued Neil Morton, then astonished that Thor had no intention of utilizing Neil Morton.
Michael wasnât the only one surprised; the other two were equally astonished.
Facing their shocked expressions, Thor stood up.
A deep breath slowly exhaled, he knew he needed to instill confidence in the three, and to make them understand some things.
Amidst the threeâs puzzlement, his words slowly emerged.
"Uncle Michael, Chesire, some things may not be clear yet."
"Although I have just broken through to Earth Knight, my strength isnât that of the Early-stage Earth Knight."
His voice wasnât loud.
But the content spoken made the threeâs expressions slightly astonished.
"Young Master Thor, what do you mean?"
Chesire spoke instinctively, his expression curious.
As he spoke, the others also focused their gaze on Thor.
Michael even mildly concentrated.
"Young Master Thor, your strength might be strong, but even a Mid-stage Earth Knight might find the current situation challenging."
"Only an Earth Knight Peak could possibly manage it."
His words carried a slight sigh.
An Earth Knight Peak could hardly solve this issue alone, but Michael felt two could barely stabilize the situation, even if some interests had to be conceded, it wouldnât be much.
"Gentlemen, once we try, weâll know."
Thor chuckled, shaking his head, and headed towards the door without further explanation.
The three were puzzled yet followed closely behind Thor.
Soon, they all left the castle and arrived at the training ground below.
"Uncle Michael, would you mind offering some guidance?"
Once at the training ground, Thor smiled and addressed Michael.
"Young Master Thor, are you serious?"
Michael was a bit taken aback by Thorâs words, subconsciously looking at him.
Having come all the way to the training ground, Michael and the others were clearly starting to understand what was happening.
All three were a bit astonished.
No matter how surprised, they didnât anticipate Thor wanting to spar with Michael.
Michael was a figure at Earth Knight Peak.
"Of course, Iâm serious."
"Uncle Michael, donât hold back, or the outcome wonât be pleasing."
Faced with Michaelâs surprise, Thor didnât really mind, his words carried a light smile, his eyes fixated on Michael.
"Young Master Thor, you should know that an Earth Knight Peak is different from a Late-stage Earth Knight, and you just broke through..."
Confronted with Thorâs gaze, Michael couldnât help but speak again, though his words trailed off mid-sentence.
But even unfinished, one could grasp the situation.
"Uncle Michael, do you think Iâm not strong enough?"
Thor chuckled softly, and the next moment, a surge of overwhelming Life Source Power erupted from his body, layers of frost spreading under his feet, the chill permeating the training ground.
The surrounding temperature plummeted rapidly.
Even Michaelâs previously hesitant expression subtly changed.
"What, what is this?"
His pupils contracted, shock involuntarily surfaced in his expression.
No matter how much he overestimated Thor, the moment Thor exhibited his Life Source Power and its terrifying icy cold aura, even he felt his hairs stand on end.
Around them, Chesire and Marshall couldnât help but step back.
"What terrifying Life Source Power."
"How is this possible?"
"What, what is this?"
Their voices echoed almost simultaneously, shock inevitably appearing on their faces.
"Young Master Thor, it seems I was wrong indeed!"
Feeling the chill potent enough to freeze his blood, Michael couldnât help but speak, his right hand involuntarily clutching the Knightâs Greatsword.
Even he hadnât considered that Thorâs Life Source Power level had reached this extent.
More importantly, this Alien Life Source Powerâs icy cold aura significantly impacted even someone like him at Earth Knight Peak.
It felt as though both his blood and Life Source Power were about to freeze.
"Be careful!"
Thor spoke lightly, his expression solemn.
The next moment.
"Swish"
Amidst the wind and snow, Thorâs figure suddenly vanished from place.
He felt like the king of the Ice and Snow World, his powerful chilling aura constantly spreading, the terrifying opportunity had already locked onto Michael.
His body stiffened somewhat.
But his instincts kicked in, prompting a reaction from Michael.
He raised the Knightâs Greatsword in hand.
"Boom!"
A terrifying clash of Life Source Power occurred, the next moment, the Life Source Power around Michael was instantly dispelled, the creeping chill enveloped his body, causing an icy sensation to quickly spread up his arm, seemingly intending to freeze it.
Yet Michael had no time to worry, only feeling as if struck by a monstrous boulder, his body flung backward.
