Chapter 569 - 330: The Will of the Lord of the Underworld
Marquis Engel was narrating, and Thor was listening intently. As a former traveler through various kingdoms, Count Engle had considerable knowledge about the surrounding kingdoms, which was quite helpful to Thor.
After all, this time was considered his first true journey, completely different from the past.
Previously, the farthest he had gone was to the Royal Capital, to participate in the Kingdom War.
This time, however, he would travel tens of thousands of miles to reach the far East of the continent.
The kingdoms he would encounter, and everything he would have to face could not be compared with his past experiences.
"The Sarca Kingdom is extremely powerful, theoretically even more powerful than the Macedonian Kingdom. It is said that their strength is comparable to the Sela Kingdom,"
Marquis Engel pondered aloud.
"Comparable to the Sela Kingdom?"
Listening to Marquis Engel’s words, Thor was momentarily stunned, then asked with a surprised tone.
"Yes!"
"The reason they did not participate in the previous Noble Alliance competition was not because of a lack of strength, but because the Kingdom War did not involve them."
Marquis Engel nodded slightly, seeming to understand the implication behind Thor’s words, and explained quietly.
"Father, isn’t the Kingdom War mandatory for all countries?"
Listening to his father’s explanation, Thor couldn’t help but feel more confused.
"Theoretically, yes!"
"But in reality, it’s not. Some kingdoms are not required to participate in the Kingdom War. For example, the Elf Kingdom, the Sarca Kingdom, and several other powerful kingdoms are also exempt."
"I don’t know the specifics, but the strength of the Sarca Kingdom is undeniable. Rumor has it that the king of Sarca has even stepped into the true Divine Realm. The strength of their nobility is also formidable. Twenty years ago, I encountered an Earth Knight of the Sarca Kingdom in the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom. Even with the use of the Secret Technique, I was still defeated."
Marquis Engel spoke with gravity, and his mind involuntarily recalled that scene from twenty years ago.
At that time, he was full of vigor, with the Phoenix Secret Technique, and did not worry much about early-stage Sky Knights.
But what was the result? In that battle, he couldn’t defeat his opponent and was even suppressed.
It was because of that experience he realized that the world was much bigger and there were more strong individuals than he had imagined.
"I understand, father!"
Thor’s eyes carried a hint of surprise. He knew how powerful his father’s Phoenix Secret Technique was. He hadn’t expected that even his father couldn’t prevail at the same level.
This made him curious and cautious about the Sarca Kingdom.
"It’s good that you understand!"
"Don’t worry too much. Compared to other kingdoms, the Sarca Kingdom is relatively isolated. Since you’re just passing through, you likely won’t face significant issues."
"Besides, there’s the Macedonian Kingdom. You’ve already witnessed the strength of the Macedonian Kingdom previously. This time, our feud with the Macedonian Kingdom is not small, so be careful when passing through."
"Oh, and take this with you."
Marquis Engel nodded slightly, then seemed to think of something, and took out a diamond-shaped crystal from one of his drawers.
As soon as the crystal was taken out, it emitted a soft glow.
"What is this?"
Thor instinctively asked, reaching out his right hand to receive the diamond-shaped crystal.
"This is a pearl from the East Sea Merfolk. It should be enough to hide your appearance and aura. When you pass through the Macedonian Kingdom, they shouldn’t recognize you."
"But you cannot fight. Once in combat, the pearl will lose its effectiveness."
Marquis Engel explained softly.
"Thank you, father!"
Thor’s eyes lit up.
He hadn’t expected his father to have such a great treasure.
He had to admit, the Macedonian Kingdom was indeed a significant problem.
Thor originally planned to detour.
Although it would take a long time, it was better than courting death.
He didn’t believe that the people there wouldn’t care.
It was a large quantity of Law Fragments. Not only the powerful nobility of the Macedonian Kingdom but even the Royal Capital might not want to let him go.
With this Merfolk Pearl, a lot of trouble could be avoided.
"Just use Spiritual Power to shroud it!"
"Alright, I’ve given you all that I can give!"
"From here on, it’s up to you. Don’t worry about the territory, I’ll have Michael go there to ensure safety."
Marquis Engel spoke softly.
Thor nodded slightly.
After the father and son discussed some matters,
Thor finally bade farewell to Marquis Engel the next day and set off again on the road to the East.
To cross the Tulip Kingdom, he currently needed to pass through the Frost Moon Province and part of the Xiyue Province’s border, as well as the entire East Moon Province to enter the neighboring Raymond Kingdom.
Luckily, this time he didn’t bring many people, and the group was extremely swift.
Traveling through the Frost Moon Province,
Even though his father mentioned that Frost Moon Province was relatively stable, Thor still felt the chaos in the order.
Conflicts were erupting everywhere.
On the continent, there seemed to be many more bandits.
However, under the escort of Thor’s powerful knights, they weren’t encountered.
