Chapter 11: Departure to the Northern Province

"Not bad!"

"I see, there's nothing more I need to teach you from now on!"

"From this day forth, you are the soaring eagle of our Dressrosa family. I'll be waiting for the day you become a baron in our family!"

"On that day, I'll celebrate your success in our family!"

Outside the castle, Count Engel Dressrosa gave his final instructions to his son.

He was increasingly satisfied with his son. Even the distribution of the life potions was something he hadn't expected. However, this approach was undoubtedly correct. At this moment, the hearts of over four hundred knights were completely won over by his son, making it easier for him to navigate the challenging early days.

"Yes, father!"

Thor nodded respectfully, feeling overwhelmed with emotion. The new world awaited him, and it would be his stage.

"I'm counting on you to bring me good news!"

Engel Dressrosa smiled as he spoke.

"Yes, father!"

Thor nodded. This time, he didn't address him as "lord". After speaking, he turned around, pulled the reins, and his horse neighed.

Behind him, over four hundred knights followed closely.

They set off, and as they disappeared from sight, Engel Dressrosa and Michaelton returned to the castle.

"I believe Master Thor will indeed soar like an eagle."

Michaelton spoke with a smile.

Their figures vanished.

On the other side, Thor led the four hundred knights as they gradually left Dressrosa Castle and headed towards the Northern Province.

Dressrosa Castle was located in the Frostmoon Province, and the Northern Province lay above it. Although it didn't require crossing other provinces, the Frostmoon Province was vast enough that it would take a month to traverse.

However, Thor wasn't in a hurry. With the provisions his father had provided, they could easily sustain themselves for half a year, if not longer. Safety wasn't much of a concern either. In the Frostmoon Province, there wouldn't be significant issues. And with four hundred knights in the Northern Province, they would be more than capable of defending themselves.

What disappointed Thor was that even after leaving the Dressrosa family's territory, his Daily Intelligence System didn't yield much. However, upon entering the Northern Province, everything changed.

A month later, on their first day in the Northern Province, the refreshment of the Daily Intelligence System immediately caught Thor's attention.

[Ding, the intelligence system has been updated!]

[Would you like to open it?]

"Yes, open it!"

Thor's eyes lit up as he read the new information. It was completely different from before. Even though he couldn't access everything mentioned, just the few bits he could obtain excited him greatly.

As he scanned through the reports, a smile spread across his face. The information provided was invaluable, especially about the upcoming encounters with various creatures and opportunities for enhancement. Thor couldn't help but feel exhilarated.

"Unfortunately..."

He sighed softly. Some of the opportunities were out of his reach due to their distance. Nonetheless, he remained optimistic, knowing that even the information he could access would greatly benefit him on his journey.

With that thought in mind, Thor eagerly awaited the challenges and adventures that lay ahead in the Northern Province.
