Chapter 376 - 232: Joining the Battle, Chicken Dinner Begins (Part 2)

Just looking at the girl’s delicate visage, Thor only felt a headache coming on.

It’s not that he couldn’t accept a young girl of fifteen or sixteen; the crucial issue is that she’s his sister. In his previous life, this would land him in jail.

"Erica, my dear sister, don’t you have school today?"

Thor braced himself and had to greet her.

"Not yet, the academy will start after the Kingdom War begins."

"This time, I came to ask Thor about some matters concerning the Knight’s Cultivation Method."

The girl had a gentle smile, appearing incredibly cute.

"The Knight’s Cultivation Method?"

"Alright then!"

Thor felt somewhat helpless, but at this moment, all he could do was take Erica to the training ground for Knight’s Breathing Technique practice.

However, what Thor didn’t expect was.

In the following month, Erica came to him almost daily, finding various ways to seek him out.

This outcome left him even more helpless.

He had no other way.

After all, each approach she used was hard for him to refuse.

But after a month, his headache had slightly improved.

Of course, it only improved a bit, mainly because the girl seemed to always keep her identity as his sister, making it less uncomfortable for him.

During this month, Thor also managed to thoroughly explore the entire Royal Capital.

He got to know quite a few nobles.

At least now he had a clearer understanding of the whole capital.

As for his older brother Carlo, Thor originally planned to visit him on the second day of his arrival, but Carlo had already been taken by his teacher for a study tour, so he had to give up.

The night gradually fell.

The Royal Capital was now burgeoning with people.

A large number of nobles and Knight Order gathered, even causing slight chaos in the capital.

But it’s only a slight chaos.

Throughout the Royal Capital, no one dared to cause trouble. Even though ninety percent of Tulip Kingdom’s nobility congregated there, big issues couldn’t arise.

For in the Royal Capital, the true power lies with the Royal Family and the Three Great Dukes.

The strength of the Royal Family and the Three Great Dukes, even if all of Tulip Kingdom’s forces combined, can’t match it.

In such circumstances, all nobles naturally behave well.

Especially during this period, to avoid chaos, the Royal Family’s knight teams controlled the order of the entire capital. Even the direct lineage of a Marquis, if causing trouble, could end up in the Royal City Prison.

Regardless of what happens to people, the fined gold coins wouldn’t be few.

At this moment, the Tomorrow Kingdom’s war is about to begin. Under the night sky, every noble carries a hint of anxiety.

Especially the news that the Kingdom War mode has changed has already spread.

For some minor nobles, it might not be bad news. After all, if gathered together, these minor nobles could end up as cannon fodder. Now, even though it’s more dangerous, at least they won’t be cannon fodder.

But for those major nobles, it’s undoubtedly a huge issue.

The Dressrosa Family’s problems naturally affect them, but it’s not just the Dressrosa Family that has branches.

In today’s world and system, to ensure family continuity, all nobles with a bit of strength will divide their houses.

Originally, this kind of division was not a bad thing. In Kingdom Wars, they could gather strength, outside of war, the family had more possibilities.

But now, under this kind of Kingdom War, all strong divided families face considerable trouble.

Originally, they only needed to face nobles from other kingdoms and duchies, but now even local nobles must be contended with.

After all, every noble, while growing stronger, offends not a few people. If they can’t handle the primary branch, can’t they deal with the subsidiary branch?

Because of this, many nobles are somewhat overwhelmed.

Even after a month of thinking, some nobles considered the matter for over two months without finding a solution.

The nobility is too scattered; even establishing treaties or signing contracts with other nobles doesn’t ensure binding force.

After all, there are countless ways around it.

This isn’t just one or two families, but the entire Royal Capital’s nobility.

The numbers are hair-raising.

Just in the Frost Moon Province, there are over a thousand Barons, hundreds of Viscounts, and the noble population in other provinces isn’t small.

With intermarriages and connections, no one knows which nobles are related.

If all nobles aren’t constrained, the so-called pacts and contracts are utterly futile.

Wanting to bind all nobles is even more impossible; such a vast contract scope wouldn’t faze Tier Three or Tier Four Mage, not even Tier Five Holy Sanctuary Mage could easily manage it.

In the entire Royal Capital, even the Royal Family may not have a Tier Five Holy Sanctuary Mage, let alone one above the Sanctuary.

This clearly leads to a dead-end loop.

In this troubling and overwhelming situation.

The next morning, sunshine rose as usual.

In the center of the Royal Capital, atop the vast plaza, the area was packed with people, countless nobles gathered here.

Nearly ten thousand Tulip Kingdom nobles and Pioneer Lords represented one-third of the population, with flows exceeding 200,000.

Dense crowds, almost all you see are people.

Even though the plaza is big enough, it can only accommodate 200,000 people at once.

Thus, the Kingdom divided the populace into three parts for teleportation.

Starting today, over the next three days, one by one, nobles will be teleported to that Exotic World. Today is clearly the first batch.

Thor and the others were not in the first batch.

His eyes glanced out to the distance.

In the distance, along with a golden scroll appearing above the sky.

In the next moment, dense white light engulfed the entire plaza.

As white light covered, one figure after another quickly vanished.

Obviously, teleportation had begun.

Though the numbers were too great, even this teleportation speed seemed not very fast.

Time slowly advanced.

Until night gradually fell, surpassing 200,000 people on the plaza entirely disappeared, evidently stepping into the Exotic World.

Next was the second day. This time Count Engel, Tono, Barbus, Rajos, Burn, Thor were among them.

"Seems like luck is on our side!"

"It’s uncertain whether we’ll be close enough then!"

Count Engel glanced at his two sons, sighing with a sense of hope.

Even though teleported simultaneously, it doesn’t mean the places will be adjacent; they will likely be separated. He can only hope everyone stays close.

"Thor, my brother, this is for you!"

Erica’s face was somewhat flushed, handing a pendant to Thor, then quickly ran away.

"Hahaha!"

"Thor, Erica isn’t bad, is she?"

Seeing this, Count Engel couldn’t help but smile, speaking cheerily.

Thor looked at the pendant before him, chuckled, shook his head, but still put it into his pocket.

"Hum!"

And at this moment, the scroll blossomed again, white light covering.
