Chapter 488: Chapter 289: Carol’s Invitation from the Sela Kingdom (2)

"Grand Duke!"

In the Macedonian Kingdom, someone instinctively spoke.

But he was met with a headshake of refusal from the middle-aged man.

He knew very well that at this moment, their Macedonian Kingdom no longer had a chance.

With Thor consecutively dealing with four Half-Step Sanctuary individuals, even if he could face Thor, Old Duke Liepuer was entirely freed up.

Once the battle commences, the outcome would still be their disastrous defeat.

According to the rules of the duel, if they are severely injured, it would inevitably attract the attention of other noble alliances, which would be truly troublesome then.

Losing this time is not something that cannot be accepted.

Especially since they had planned for a loss this time, as they were truly not a match for the Sela Kingdom Noble Alliance.

The only difference now is merely losing to the Tulip Kingdom Noble Alliance.

Upon hearing the voice coming from the Tulip Kingdom Noble Alliance and seeing the law fragments flying forth one after another, Thor raised his eyebrows with a slight astonishment.

He hadn’t expected the Macedonian Kingdom Noble Alliance to surrender so decisively.

With a light laugh and shake of his head, Thor’s figure stepped forward, returning to the Tulip Noble Alliance.

At this moment, receiving the law fragments, everyone couldn’t help but smile broadly.

Even the Three Great Dukes were no exception.

Because this time, the law fragments obtained from the Macedonian Kingdom totaled over a hundred pieces, adding to the ones they currently possessed, making a total of over two hundred pieces.

What even brightened the Three Great Dukes’ eyes was that the Ice Attribute Law Fragment and the Wind Attribute Law Fragment seemed to almost form a complete law upon this time of gathering.

Each joyful expression was almost impossible to conceal, and when Thor landed, each gaze cast toward him underwent a subtle shift.

"Are you alright~!"

Count Engle looked at his son and spoke softly.

"I’m fine."

"Father."

Thor shook his head, feeling like the consumption wasn’t significant, as the thunder element in the world was continuously gathering, making the expenditure significantly lesser than before.

"Good that you’re fine!"

Count Engle nodded and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Though he was confident in Thor, he couldn’t help but worry a bit after consecutive battles with the Half-step Sanctuary.

Fortunately, Thor was indeed alright.

"Sir Thor, you have truly given us a surprise this time."

Old Duke Liepuer couldn’t contain his laughter as he spoke.

"Indeed, you have done a significant service this time. Without you, our gains wouldn’t have reached this amount."

Old Duke Skodar also spoke with a laugh.

"Count Engle, your strength concealment is really deep enough; I didn’t expect Viscount Thor to be so formidable. His strength is likely no match for me."

Old Duke Kalenina commented with emotion.

A flood of compliments came toward Thor.

Compared to Thor’s calmness, the Macedonian Kingdom Noble Alliance, on the other side, was undoubtedly much more subdued.

No one had anticipated such an outcome.

They were utterly beaten by a single person, seemingly just a Sky Knight, a result almost unacceptable but apparently factual.

"Alright, we need to decide tomorrow’s opponent. Tomorrow is the last day of the duel; we must compensate for the loss."

Amidst the silence, someone spoke in a deep voice.

With his words, everyone nodded.

The speaker glanced at the distant Tulip Kingdom Noble Alliance, his expression subtly changing.

Quickly shaking his head.

With Thor’s choice, it was apparent that significant changes compared to the previous duel had occurred.

In prior intelligence, Macedonia was preparing to act against him due to his performance.

But due to Thor not participating at the start, all this naturally didn’t happen.

On the Tulip Noble Alliance side, Thor glanced far away and then paid no more attention.

Regarding the Macedonian Kingdom Noble Alliance, he didn’t pay too much heed; even if the leading Half-step Sanctuary couldn’t be defeated, self-protection wouldn’t be a significant issue.

From the entire duel’s noble alliance, the only one he cared about was the one from the Sela Kingdom.

Because that one genuinely posed a deadly threat to him.

Thinking about this, his gaze couldn’t help but turn toward the Sela Kingdom’s location.

Upon observing, his expression froze slightly.

Because at this moment, two individuals from the Sela Kingdom were walking toward him.

Thor was surprised.

The few individuals from the Tulip Noble Alliance, who were already focused on Thor, quickly discovered the two approaching figures from the Sela Kingdom.

"They are from the Sela Kingdom!"

Marquis Mackendy couldn’t help but speak, feeling a bit tense inside.

Old Duke Liepuer, Old Duke Kalenina, and Old Duke Skodar also slightly furrowed their brows, showing some confusion.

But their confusion didn’t last long, as the two from afar had already approached.

A middle-aged man and an elder.

The elder’s aura had reached the Half-step Sanctuary, while the middle-aged man’s presence was almost indiscernible.

However, from the previous duels, it was clear that the middle-aged man was strong.

Unexpectedly powerful.

"Three Great Dukes!"

The middle-aged man slightly bowed.

"Lecturer Carol!"

As the middle-aged man bowed, the three old dukes quickly stood up and returned the knightly salute.

"Carol!"

Thor muttered softly, finally learning the name of the Sela Kingdom’s formidable individual.

"I wonder if Lecturer Carol, you’ve come for?"

After completing the courtesy, Duke Kalenina couldn’t resist asking, feeling a bit anxious inside.

It’s inevitable; even with the same Half-step Sanctuary status, Old Duke Kalenina is well aware of the vast disparity between them, a gap not only in strength but also in rank.

Not to mention, the title of Duke is just honorary; even if he were a Tulip Kingdom Duke, there would still be a significant gap compared to a lecturer from Canaan Academy.

The strength gap need not be mentioned further; if Carol wanted to act against him, he might not last ten breaths.

"Three Great Dukes, I am here to inquire whether the descendants of Dressrosa wish to join the Imperial Canaan Academy?"

Facing their tension, Carol smiled and spoke, his gaze turning to Thor.

Hearing his words, the three were momentarily stunned.

Then, their eyes widened.

None of the three had expected such a result.

Canaan Academy is indeed Canaan Academy; each admission slot to Canaan Academy is extremely precious. Even a Duke family might not guarantee their descendants’ entrance into the Imperial Canaan Academy.

At this moment, Carol, a lecturer from the Imperial Canaan Academy, took the initiative to invite Thor.

With widened eyes, everyone’s breath became involuntarily heavy.

Even Count Engle couldn’t help but feel nervous.

And soon, all eyes focused on Thor.

Listening to Carol’s words, Thor was genuinely stunned. He was curious about the purpose of Carol’s arrival, but he didn’t anticipate it being for him, and moreover, an invitation to Canaan Academy.
