Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence

Chapter 358 - 224: The Current Reputation of Dressrosa (2)

Christine began to speak, slowly explaining to her teacher.

Although she wished dearly to bring her teacher along, just as the old man said, he wouldn’t resort to deception to bring the old man there.

Of course, the main reason is that he believes the teacher wouldn’t mind these things.

After all, these are undoubtedly far better compared to other noble families.

And indeed, that was the case.

"Prestige, huh? A decent approach."

"Indeed, it works!"

The old man nodded slightly.

"So, teacher?"

Christine’s expression carried a hint of joy, and she couldn’t help but speak again.

"I can follow you over to take a look, but if it’s not satisfactory, I will leave!"

After contemplating for a moment, the old man nodded slightly and agreed.

Being at the academy, he found it increasingly hard to make any headway and was considering leaving; now was a good time to go take a look.

"Wonderful, teacher!"

"You going there won’t disappoint you!"

Christine quickly spoke, not expecting everything to go so smoothly. When the old man’s words started, her heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.

Luckily, everything turned out fairly well.

Three days later.

The Dressrosa convoy set off again, with Great Pharmacist Samp leading his dozen students, following Christine towards Eagle Territory in the Northern Province.

The news had just been released.

Hijaer was a bit restless.

"Bang!"

"Damn it, that old fellow actually went with Christine!"

"Didn’t that old fellow say he wouldn’t serve the nobility?"

Hijaer’s expression was unsightly.

He had promised that big Campbell family elder to bring Great Pharmacist Samp into the Campbell Family.

For this, that Campbell family elder was even willing to offer his son a Knight’s Squire position and pay a thousand gold coins.

If Great Pharmacist Samp left, wouldn’t his plans all fall apart?

"No, I can’t let them leave!"

"The Dressrosa Family!"

Hijaer’s eyes flickered; gritting his teeth, he swiftly took action.

His figure rushed toward a mansion in the Royal Capital.

Inside a large mansion.

"Bang!"

"What did you say? Samp went with the Dressrosa Family?"

A young noble abruptly stood up, his face carrying a hint of displeasure.

"Yes, I saw the Dressrosa Family emblem, Young Master Bell. The Dressrosa Family dared to take your people; should we not intercept them?"

Hijaer quickly spoke, his expression feigning indignation.

Yet.

The next moment.

"Boom!!"

A dull sound rang out. Hijaer felt a sudden sharp pain in his face, and even the sensation of bone fracture reverberated in his mind. The next moment, his body flew to the side.

"Bang!"

His body was thrown into the distance, twitched slightly, then no longer moved.

"Absurdity, Ford, throw this guy out."

The young man snorted coldly.

"Yes!"

An old butler quickly responded, then waved his hand, and knights came forward to drag Hijaer out.

"Young Master Bell, the master said not to engage in any conflict with the Dressrosa Family lately."

Waiting for the knights to retreat, the butler couldn’t help speaking in a low voice.

"I understand."

"They are indeed lucky!"

"But let it go, it’s merely a Great Pharmacist, losing him is no big deal."

The young man nodded slightly, taking a deep breath.

Though a bit unwilling, he understood well that with Count Engle’s emergence, their family’s power indeed might not compare to the Dressrosa Family.

A presence capable of easily demolishing one Sky Knight could also easily crush their family’s Sky Knight.

Just Count Engle alone has already narrowed the gap between the Dressrosa Family and their formidable Marquis Family.

More importantly, Count Engle still has a vast future ahead of him, although breaking into the Holy Sanctuary Knight seems impossible in the future. With Count Engle’s current age, reaching Sky Knight Peak shouldn’t be an issue.

As long as Count Engle can break into Sky Knight Peak, it’ll become a Top Marquis Family, which is not something their Campbell Family can meddle with now.

For the sake of one Great Pharmacist, it’s not worth it.

After all, the Great Pharmacist’s ability is only to configure Intermediate Life Potions, and their Campbell Family has a Level 1 Mage who can do that, albeit with a lower success rate, but the impact isn’t significant.

Of course, Christine and Great Pharmacist Samp were oblivious to this scene at the moment.

The group safely departed the Royal Capital, heading toward the Northern Province.

Along the journey, Great Pharmacist Samp chatted with his students and grew more curious about Thor’s territory.

Meanwhile, Christine was startled by the information the Dressrosa Family had brought, courtesy of her teacher.

To the lower-tier nobility or some small nobles, the conflict between the Dressrosa Family and the Spencer Family might not be known, but due to Great Pharmacist Samp’s connections, he knew well.

And this was undoubtedly shocking to Christine; she never expected the Lord’s father to be so remarkable.

And for the dozen students under Great Pharmacist Samp, as Christine recounted, they began to yearn more for Thor’s territory.

Mages, they actually had the opportunity to become mages.

"Christine, senior sister, do we really have the chance to become mages?"

A young student couldn’t help but ask, somewhat excited inwardly.

"You can, the Lord offers a chance to everyone. As long as you can earn merit points, I can teach you to meditate and develop the Sea of Consciousness, and you can even exchange treasures from the Lord to develop the Sea of Consciousness."

Christine nodded with a smile.

"Great, I can become a mage now too."

Christine’s words caused the young figure to blush slightly.

The rest weren’t much better.

Being pharmacists, they understood the wonders of mages; undoubtedly, every pharmacist hopes to become a mage, and now they actually have the chance.

Although they still need to earn merits, having a chance and not having one are entirely different.

"Christine, senior sister, how many merits do we need to earn!"

"Yes, Christine, senior sister, how many merits do we need!"

"Not too many, just fifty points!"

"Fifty points, huh? So how do we earn merit points."

Inside the carriage, a dozen students excitedly asked Christine, and she seriously answered them without any impatience.

And witnessing the reaction of his students, the old man knew very well that even if that territory was not to his liking, he would probably have a hard time taking these students away.

Of course, he might not need to take them away.

While he might be displeased, he wouldn’t hinder his students’ future.

Just like he’s always resented the nobility, but he never opposed his students joining the nobility.

Because in this world, joining noble families is almost the only path for pharmacists.

Trying to rely on oneself is almost impossible.
