Fantasy Lords: Starting with the Pioneer Knight

Chapter 4 Count Engeldressrosa

 “Crunch!”

The wooden door made a sound, and it was opened. Thor's figure walked in, and his eyes quickly noticed a middle-aged man in front of the bookcase.

This is also the first time he has seen his nominal father since time travel.

— Count Engeldressrosa.

　　Also the fourth Dressrosa.

That's right, it's the fourth generation. The Dressrosa family does not have a long history like other nobles. Counting from the first generation of the head of the family, the Dressrosa family is only a mere three hundred years old. Three hundred The Dressrosa family rose to prominence due to the Kingdom War a few years ago, and in just three hundred years, it established its current prominent position as Earl.

 It is a miracle in the whole tulip kingdom.

 Gonghou Bozinan, the earl already belongs to the high nobility.

 How many nobles who have lived for thousands of years are just one earl.

Of course these have nothing to do with Thor at the moment. His eyes are more focused on his father.

Engel Dressrosa gives people the first impression of being calm. His burly figure, some gray hair, and piercing eyes all give people a sense of oppression, not to mention the mysterious air around him. Aura.

As the pinnacle of the Earth Knights, Engel Dressrosa is a famous existence even in the entire Frost Moon Province.

He is one of the top people in the entire Frost Moon Province.

That kind of oppression is real.

 “I’ve met my father!”

Thor took a deep breath, suppressed the beating of his heart, and saluted respectfully.

 “That’s right, we actually made a breakthrough!”

“It seems that you will not become the twenty-ninth expelled heir of the family!”

　　With a somewhat unexpected voice, Engel Dressrosa's expression was a little surprised at first, and then turned calm.

 Just a trainee knight, he won't attract too much attention.

Of course it’s not a surprise.

 “Thanks to my father’s guidance!”

Thor's heart skipped a beat, but he still spoke quickly.

 “I didn’t guide you, and I never thought you could break through to become a trainee knight!”

“You don’t need to thank me!

 Count Engeldressrosa waved his hand, and then fell into deep thought.

And Thor did not disturb, but waited quietly beside him.

"Thor, I originally thought that you would not be able to become a trainee knight. I have prepared a farewell gift, but now that you have become a trainee knight, you will most likely not be able to use these. You now have two choices."

Count Engeldressrosa spoke slowly after pondering.

 “Father, please speak out!”

Thor's heart was straightened out, and his words became a little more respectful again.

"Our Dressrosa family originated from the Kingdom War. Today's territories are all fought for by the family's heirs. Starting from the first generation of patriarchs three hundred years ago, the Dressrosa family has given every family heir a choice. Chances are, you too!”

"Starting from today, you can choose to stay in the family and become a family guardian knight. You will be entitled to a gold coin every month, or you can choose to become a pioneer knight. Twenty years ago, the kingdom established the Northland Province in northern Xinjiang. The family We will give you some support and you can go and become a pioneer knight.”

Engel Dressrosa’s words sounded slowly.

 Two choices, two different options.

　　Listening to his father’s words, Thor couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

 He really didn't expect that there would be two choices. He had already made plans to become a family guardian knight, but at this moment, he actually had a new choice.

 Just faced with this choice.

 He couldn't help but hesitate a little.

The first item is undoubtedly extremely stable, but the upper limit is undoubtedly locked. As the son of Dressrosa, it is impossible for him to inherit the title. His highest achievement is only the knight commander, and no matter how noble the knight commander is, that Not a noble in the true sense of the word.

  It can be said that in Frost Moon Province, unless the Kingdom War breaks out again, this is basically the case for him.

 The upper limit of the latter is undoubtedly higher.

 Thor knows a little about the pioneer knights. This is a special existence in the kingdom. Every knight can become a pioneer knight. As long as he can occupy enough territory and have enough subjects, he can be canonized as a baron.

 Although he is only the lowest baron, no matter how low he is, he is still a noble. Not only the Tulip Kingdom recognizes him, but other kingdoms also recognize him.

But similarly, the danger of the second item is also difficult to predict.

 The so-called pioneering knight, the most important thing is to develop.

The Northland Province was established only twenty years ago. It is filled with a large number of monsters and chaotic order. Even from the mouths of bards, you can hear that there are not a few pioneer knights who die every year. If he goes there, it is very likely that Will be one of them.

Facing Thor's contemplation, Count Engeldressrosa did not rush, but waited quietly, and his eyes were again on the "General History of the Continent".

 Time passes slowly.

 Until a moment later.

Thor suddenly raised his head.

“Father, I have decided that I will become the eagle spreading wings of the Dressrosa family and once again establish meritorious service for the family!”

 The words speak.

As he spoke, Count Engeldressrosa looked away, focusing on Thor, and then a smile appeared on his face.

Looking at this smile, Thor's heart moved and he was thoughtful.

"Thor, you are worthy of being the young eagle of our Dressrosa family. As a father, I am proud of you!"

"Go, you can stay in the castle for a month. After one month, I, your father, will prepare a generous gift for you to help the young eagle of the Dressrosa family spread its wings!"

Count Engeldressrosa spoke with a smile, and then waved.

 “Thank you, father!”

 “Son, don’t bother your father anymore!”

Thor nodded, and then exited the door.

It wasn’t until he watched Thor leave that Engeldressrosa once again set his sights on the general history of the continent.

 Until a moment, the butler Charlie walked in.

Engel Dressrosa then raised his head after thinking slightly.

 “Let Michael come over here!”

“Also, go to the warehouse and put the fourth box in the third row on the left, no, let’s put it in the third box in the second row!”

 Thoughts flow, and words are spoken immediately.

"yes!"

Charlie looked a little surprised, but he quickly responded respectfully and left immediately.

 Soon, Michael arrived in the study.

 “My Lord Count!”

 Michael spoke respectfully.

"sit down!"

“Michael, how many official knights are there in the Knights of Fire now?”

Count Engeldressrosa pondered for a moment, and his words were filled with questions.

 “Two hundred and thirty-four people, Your Majesty the Earl!”

Michael nodded, then thought for a moment and gave a numerical value.

 “Two hundred and thirty-four people?”

"Okay, you can draw 30 people from them in the next few days, and draw another 300 people from the Eagle Knights. The eagle of our Dressrosa family is about to spread its wings, and I, the father, also need to give him A gift!”

 The voice spoke with a chuckle.

"yes!"

Michael was a little shocked, but he nodded quickly and agreed.
