Chapter 144: Opportunity of

Outside Eagle Town.

Thor soon saw Tono and his party from a distance. This time Tono did not bring many people, only about twenty horses.

It was dusty and it was obvious that he was on his way at a fast pace.

When they saw Thor and his party, Tono and his party gradually slowed down.

Then dismount.

"Second brother!"

Thor was the first to greet him.

"Thor!"

Tono couldn't help but smile.

The two hugged each other hard.

Then under the guidance of Thor, everyone walked into the town.

"Thor, you are building your territory really fast!"

Looking at the tracts of houses, the busy figures, and the contiguous farmland outside the town, Tono couldn't help but sigh.

He has been in the Northland Province for more than ten years.

But this was the first time he had seen such a construction speed.

Up to now, it has been less than two years since Thor had fully calculated, and the scale and development status of the territory are no less than his own.

It's hard to imagine how Thor did it.

"Brother, you are exaggerating!"

Thor smiled and shook his head.

"This is not an exaggeration. I have seen many heirs of marquises develop territories, but it is difficult for them to be as fast as you are."

Tuono couldn't help but shake his head and spoke seriously.

Thor smiled.

Tuono just sighed and quickly changed the topic to other aspects.

"Thor, when you go back, how is your father?"

Tono spoke with a memory.

"Father, everything is fine!"

"Maybe in a few years, there will be a surprise."

Thor spoke with a smile.

"surprise?"

Tono looked curious.

"Brother, you will know in a few years."

Thor spoke mysteriously.

"Hahaha, then I'll wait."

Tono smiled and nodded.

During the conversation, everyone quickly walked into the castle.

But unlike before, this time the banquet was not the first to start in the castle. Tono and Thor arrived in the study first.

Let everyone retreat.

"How's the situation?"

Thor looked at his second brother Tono.

"I'm afraid it's not necessary!"

"The situation is troublesome."

Tuono's expression gradually became solemn, and his brows couldn't help but frown.

"What's wrong?"

Thor was stunned for a moment.

Although he didn't have much hope for Tono to contact other Dressrosa families, logically there wouldn't be any problems.

There was something obviously wrong with Tuono's reaction in front of him.

"You came back from Father. Did you receive a message from Father on the way?"

Tono spoke and looked at Thor.

"Signaling?"

Thor was stunned for a moment, a little confused.

There was no reaction for a moment.

"My father sent me a letter ten days ago. My father said that a divine revelation is about to occur in the Northland Province. He asked me if I would consider evacuating. The family would provide a corresponding atonement."

"Didn't you receive this?"

Tono looked a little confused.

In his opinion, his brother should have received the letter earlier.

"This!"

"Father, you told me at home, but I refused."

Thor was stunned for a moment, then reacted, shook his head and spoke with a chuckle.

"this!"

"Thor, do you know what divine revelation is?"

"Every time a divine revelation occurs, there will be great turmoil in the continent. A hundred years ago, a divine revelation occurred in Nanyue Province, and more than 200,000 humans were buried. Sixty-eight years ago, there was one in the Blazing Kingdom, and more than 400,000 people were killed. The population was sacrificed.”

"Once a divine revelation occurs in the Northland Province, the disaster will be unimaginable. This is beyond our strength. Not even us, not even the Dressrosa family can handle it."

"Thor"

Tono's eyes widened, and the next moment he looked a little anxious. He looked at Thor and spoke urgently.

He was afraid that Thor would not understand, so he told all the events of the divine revelation.

Even with the words, there was a violent fluctuation in Tono's heart.

During this period of time, this piece of information made him extremely uneasy and hesitant.

Abandon the territory and the efforts of more than ten years of development.

He really doesn't want to, but the threat of divine enlightenment is real.

Don't say anything else.

In his understanding.

Those powerful noble lords have already begun to evacuate at this moment.

Even the two most powerful pioneer lords in the west are preparing to leave.

This is enough to illustrate the huge problem in this regard.

"I know, Father has already told me."

"I've seen these too."

"But I don't think it's a big problem."

"The book records a total of one hundred and three divine revelation events, and only seventy-three of them are extremely serious events. Most of these serious causes were caught off guard each time, and the major kingdoms did not pay attention, while the remaining Thirty times, it didn’t have much impact. The reason was that the kingdom discovered it very quickly.”

"Is it understandable that divine revelation, as long as it can be detected in time, will not be a big problem. After all, in the entire continent, there has been no record of a divine visit in the past tens of thousands of years."

Thor spoke slowly.

Listening to Thor's words, Tuono, who was originally eager, couldn't help being stunned.

"this!"

Tuono opened his mouth subconsciously, but he didn't know what to say.

My heart was ups and downs even more violently.

Thoughts are constantly intertwined.

Joy, worry.

expect.

Breathed a sigh of relief.

All kinds of emotions are spreading.

"call!"

After a long time, Tuono took a long breath and looked at Thor deeply.

The words rang out again.

"Seriously, Thor, you're still too crazy."

"Are you sure you want to stay?"

Tuono spoke, still looking hesitant.

"Sure!"

"There is a future for me here. Even if there is even a slight chance, I will stay."

Thor said seriously.

There were some things he couldn't tell, so he could only express them this way.

After all, he can't expose his golden finger.

His greatest confidence is not this information, but the golden finger.

So far, Goldfinger has no danger warning, which undoubtedly means that he is safe enough.

This alone was enough for him not to worry.

"Understood!"

"Indeed, Thor, you are right. There is a future that belongs to us here. We cannot just give up."

"I'll stay too."

Tono spoke seriously.

At this moment he also made up his mind.

As Thor said, there is a future for them here, and they cannot give up like this.

Even if there is a slight possibility, try it.

The territory can be given up, but what about the future?

After losing their territory, even if they used the atonement money to retain their titles, no one is sure how long it will take to get to where they are now if they want to start over, and whether there is still a chance.

Since Thor is willing to take a gamble, why is Tuono not willing?

"Brother!"

Thor looked at Tono with some surprise. He didn't expect that his brother would be willing to stay.

"Thor, you don't have to look at me like that. Since you have just become a pioneer knight, you have courage, let alone me."

"And your nephew has been sent back to the family by me before. Even if something happens, I don't have to worry."

Tono smiled and spoke.

Listening to Tono's words, Thor couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.

My brother is obviously not hot-headed either.

However, he didn't pay too much attention to this.

After all, the threat of divine enlightenment is real.

It's impossible to really block everything.

Tono didn't have the same golden fingers as him, so he couldn't be sure of the outcome.

While chuckling and shaking his head, Thor seemed to have thought of something.

Speak with a question.

"Brother, you said before that the powerful lords in the west have begun to evacuate. Is it true?"

His eyes looked at Tono again.

Listening to Thor's words, Tono nodded slightly.

"Indeed, the evacuation has begun. As far as I know, the two powerful lords Spencer and Campbell are already showing signs of evacuation, and several other powerful marquis' descendants are also showing signs of evacuation."

Tuono nodded and slowly told what he had learned so far.

Listening to his story, Thor couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

obviously.

The Dressrosa family was not the only one who could find something wrong with the situation, notice the parchment, and interpret the parchment.

Some other powerful families can more or less do it.

In this way, it is difficult for the divine revelation to spread among the lower-level pioneer lords, but among the upper-level pioneer lords and noble lords, it is no longer a secret.

Thor had no doubt that the lords who wanted to evacuate were not even the only ones mentioned by Tono.

There will only be more.

The threat of divine enlightenment is not that simple.

Even if someone discovered the same pattern as him, who would dare to gamble.

Not to mention these pioneer lords, even the Marquis family may not have the courage to take a gamble.

In this case, evacuation seemed to be the only option.

At least it can guarantee that one's own strength will not suffer a devastating blow.

To be honest, let alone them, even Thor would not have insisted on coming without the daily intelligence system.

"It seems that we are still very lucky."

As his thoughts flowed, Thor's expression immediately turned into a chuckle.

"Lucky?"

Tuono couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, a little confused.

"Ren said, didn't the development of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce fall into obstacles?"

"Most of these obstacles come from these powerful pioneering lords!"

Thor explained with a chuckle.

"indeed!"

"Those guys are simply too much. They even set up checkpoints in the Northland Province and collected tax rates. For supplies worth one hundred gold coins, they dared to charge fifty gold coins, or even seventy or eighty gold coins."

Tuono nodded, and then he couldn't help but make an indignant voice.

But as he spoke, Tuono suddenly paused and his eyes widened.

Subconsciously I wanted to speak.

But Thor's voice sounded ahead of time.

"At present, only the top nobles should know the news. There is a high probability that only those top nobles will choose to evacuate. Moreover, these top nobles basically act secretly and will not attract too many people's attention. If they make a big fanfare, they may not be able to reduce much. loss."

"Brother, you may have noticed that the Eagle Chamber of Commerce's revenue has dropped this month."

Thor's voice was long.

What he said made Tono's eyes light up.

He knew that the Eagle Chamber of Commerce's income had decreased, but he just thought it was because of interference from the big nobles.

But now as Thor spoke, an idea flashed through his mind, and he instantly understood what was going on.

"Brother, you can ask someone to check if the level is still there."

"Also, go and see how many noble lords are preparing to leave."

"This time is our chance. Maybe our Dressrosa family can become the real king among the pioneering lords of the Northland Province in one fell swoop."

Thor's eyes flashed and his words slowly sounded.

He was still thinking about how to solve this problem before.

In his previous thinking, it was almost difficult to solve the problem.

In other words, there is no solution at all in a short time.

The joint restrictions of these nobles are caused by interests. Not to mention whether he is willing to divide the interests, even if he is willing, these top nobles still look down upon the small amount of interests that Eagle has received.

So there is almost no solution.

Unexpectedly, when I was about to doze off, God would directly send me a pillow.

The incident of Divine Enlightenment caused his problem to cease to exist before he could think of a solution.

Nowadays, there is a large-scale evacuation of top nobles.

Even if there are still one or two, they cannot pose any threat to the Eagle Chamber of Commerce.

What he was worried about before was that all the nobles would unite and cause public outrage.

But if only a few are left.

Then he doesn't need to worry about it at all.

There are opinions that the Northland Province is in such turmoil and a divine revelation is about to occur. It does not seem to be an impossible thing to destroy one or two territories again, even the territories of powerful nobles.

"good!"

"I'll go back immediately to investigate!"

"In three days at most, I will investigate the information about the lords who are about to take action or who have already taken action."

Tuono nodded, with a hint of excitement in his expression.

At this moment he also saw an opportunity.

If they can grasp it, and the divine inspiration is as Thor said, then their chance will really come.

Not even just theirs.

Tuono was also unimaginable to him.

Not to mention other things, he can take advantage of this opportunity to further expand his territory.

Although it was expanded a few months ago, he felt that it was not enough now.
