A Sky Knight who has just turned thirty possesses a talent so dazzling that even within the Empire, it stands out because it signifies nearly a hundred percent chance of breaking through to the rank of Holy Sanctuary Knight before turning one hundred, and possibly even reaching the Divine Domain.
Such an existence is rare, even within the Empire.
More so in the Kingdom, this is an almost unique presence.
"Rustle, rustle!"
A smile spreads, and at this moment, the rustling sound comes from the distant jungle.
Soon a group of people returned.
It was Marshall and the others. Todayâs exploration allowed them to improve the surrounding terrain map further.
Less than half an hour after Marshallâs return, Reine also returned to the camp, and what made Thorâs eyes light up was that Reine also brought back several exotic Demon Beasts.
They looked like Griffins but had duck-like heads.
They are Griffin River Demons.
"Oh, you actually got them, how strong are they?"
Thor raised his eyebrows in surprise; he hadnât expected Reine to bring these creatures back.
"Sir, these creatures have strength roughly around Tier Three, not too strong, but extremely agile. If the situation isnât favorable, they will plunge into the great river, making them difficult to catch."
Reine quietly spoke, explaining to Thor.
"Tier Three, huh!"
Thorâs eyes lit up.
At just Tier Three, they pose almost no threat to him.
His biggest concern was that the Griffin River Demons might be at a higher level, which would be challenging for him. He can currently deal with ordinary Tier Four Magical Beasts, but those beyond Mid Fourth Stage are difficult for him to handle.
But if itâs only Tier Three, thatâs entirely different.
"Yes, just Tier Three, and their combat ability is not strong."
Reine nodded, confirming once again.
"Great, letâs prepare and catch more tomorrow."
Thor smiled in agreement.
"Furthermore, these creatures are valuable; like the Thorny Butterfly Fish, they can enhance everyoneâs Knightâs Training talent."
"Weâll try it today and see how effective it is."
He seemed to recall something and spoke with a smile.
His words immediately caused everyoneâs eyes to light up.
"Young Master Thor, can these creatures really enhance Knightâs Training talent?"
Marshall couldnât help but speak first, his eyes involuntarily focusing on the Griffin River Demons Reine held.
"Yes, but the exact effect will need to be seen after consumption."
Thor nodded with a smile.
This news excited everyone, especially those who had previously consumed the Thorny Butterfly Fish.
Even though they were given very little, they could genuinely feel the effects of the Thorny Butterfly Fish. Now another creature capable of enhancing Knightâs Training talent appeared, causing salivation among these individuals.
Thor didnât dampen the crowdâs enthusiasm.
With a wave of his hand.
Soon, everyone started to get busy.
As dusk fell.
By the campfire, Thor, Reine, Anna, Marshall, and several Official Knights received generous portions of the Griffin River Demonsâ meat.
As the meat goes down their throats, everyone feels a warm current spreading to their limbs and bones.
Even Thor felt a surprise as his eyebrows lifted.
He originally thought the talent enhancement from Griffin River Demons would have no effect on someone of his level, considering his talent, already terrifying, enhanced by the Natural Elf and Annaâs contract, and gifted by the Law Mark in the Divine Ruins with immense strength.
Enhancement is challenging, but the meat of the Griffin River Demons surprisingly still has an effect, albeit small, but Thor could feel it.
If Thor felt it, others would certainly feel it more.
Especially Marshall, whose eyes lit up.
His talent was not considered weak within the Dressrosa Family; being able to break through to Mid-stage Earth Knight speaks volumes.
But if you talk about being strong, itâs not that amazing; compared to Thor and Reine, it cannot be compared.
At this moment, the enhancement given by the Griffin River Demons is quite apparent.
For those Official Knights, their Life Seeds felt agitated at this moment.
Everyone quickened their eating pace.
Soon, the meat from several Griffin River Demons was consumed by everyone.
Thor and Reine ate almost a whole one.
Even their faces showed a slight blush.
Within the blush, energy surged, vaguely reaching an extreme.
"Boom!"
A flourishing Life Source Power erupted from Thorâs body, solidifying the Ice and Snow World buried within the Life Seed.
"Mid-stage Earth Knight!"
Murmuring to himself, Thor opened his eyes, which had unknowingly closed, with a hint of joy in his expression.
Originally thinking it would take a few days to break through to Mid-stage Earth Knight, he didnât expect that just half of a Griffin River Demon was needed.
The rewards from this world might be more than he imagined.
The entire Exotic World represents a vast, unopened treasure waiting for him.
Just the second day revealed Griffin River Demons at this level; what other riches would the upcoming days bring?
He hadnât even begun to explore; the Golden Fingerâs daily intel system hadnât fully unfolded, the longer the time, the greater the rewards.
By the campfire.
Thor wasnât the only one who broke through; even though the Official Knights ate less, their levels werenât high, and many of them directly broke through to new levels. One Official Knight Peak even stepped into Great Knight.
Even those who didnât break through felt a subtle change.
"Reine, how many Griffin River Demons were there altogether?"
Taking a deep breath, Thor held back his inner excitement and looked at Reine.
"Sir, there should be more than twenty, but fewer than thirty."
Reine pondered slightly before answering slowly.
"More than twenty?"
Thor nodded, not too disappointed, having more than twenty was already pretty good.
The Griffin River Demonsâ effects vastly surpass the Thorny Butterfly Fish, whose value is worth thousands of gold coins; if a Griffin River Demon appeared in the Tulip Kingdom, its value would exceed tens of thousands, likely even up to one hundred thousand gold coins, as it can permanently enhance Knight talent.
Their appearance would surely cause a sensation.
Especially when they could enhance even Thorâs level of talent, they could significantly enhance othersâ talents.
With more than twenty Griffin River Demons, gaining most of them would allow his Knight Order to enhance their talent and strength extensively.
After the Kingdom War ends, everyoneâs advancement to a Great Knight is realistic.
Some might even break through to Earth Knight.
Thor is exhilarated.
The crowd is equally excited.
As night passes.
When dawn arrives, the familiar mechanical prompt sounds once more.
Daily intel updated.
Open it?
