Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence-Chapter 171 - 131: Return, Star Moon Festival, Silver Moon Breathing Technique
A gold coin — it’s not that Thor intentionally wanted to take advantage, but because they were in a trading venue surrounded by quite a few nobles.
The Dressrosa Family is not an unknown entity.
If he really showed a great interest in the item or seemed determined to get it, no one could guarantee that unexpected situations wouldn’t arise.
At that time, whether other nobles became interested, or the bearded middle-aged man in front of them thought the item was a treasure, it would lead to significant changes.
Thor didn’t want any unexpected situations to occur with this item. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
And his choice was undoubtedly correct. Their conversation only attracted a few glances, which soon turned away, while Andrew had already bolted with a gold coin, possibly cursing Thor as an idiot in secret.
This outcome was undoubtedly the best possible.
Not attracting attention, they obtained the item quietly.
"Let’s go!"
"Let’s prepare, see if Uncle Marshall has returned, we should get ready for the journey back!"
As Thor’s thoughts flowed, he signaled to his companions with his words.
"Alright!"
Morris nodded. Although puzzled, this was no time to ask questions.
The group then returned to their residence.
It seemed to be good timing, as they happened to meet Marshall, who had also just returned.
"Uncle Marshall, did something enjoyable happen?"
Seeing a cheerful Marshall, both Thor and Morris were mildly surprised, with Thor unable to hold back his curiosity.
"Hahaha, we had some good luck. A merchant from the West passed by, and we’ve earned ten percent more from this trading session compared to usual."
Marshall explained with a laugh.
Hearing Marshall’s words, Morris couldn’t help but show a hint of joy.
A ten percent increase didn’t seem like much, but they’d brought plenty of goods, so ten percent was definitely a tidy sum.
"That truly is something to be happy about!"
Thor nodded with a smile.
Although he wasn’t too sure of the total amount of goods this time, even a preliminary estimate suggested it might exceed two thousand gold coins.
Ten percent indeed wasn’t a small amount.
"By the way, how was the auction?"
"Did you find any Purple Gold Grass?"
Marshall seemed to recall something, turning his gaze toward Thor, asking inquisitively.
"Already purchased."
Thor nodded.
"Really!"
Hearing Thor’s answer, Marshall’s expression turned delighted.
"Heh heh, Uncle Marshall, you wouldn’t believe it, Thor actually possessed a Golden Card from the Assad Family. After showing the card, the Assad Family directly let us purchase it with gold coins."
Morris spoke excitedly, narrating the auction details to Marshall.
Listening to Morris, Marshall couldn’t help but look slightly shocked.
"Alright, Brother Morris, we should prepare now."
"Uncle Marshall, we’ve decided to start our return journey today; is there anything you need to prepare? Should we delay until tomorrow?"
Thor waited for a moment before shaking his head with a light smile, speaking up.
"Today?"
"Certainly, I have nothing to prepare and can depart anytime."
Marshall, hearing Thor’s words, promptly nodded, agreeing immediately.
"Alright, we’ll set off soon. Everyone, gather your things!"
Listening to Marshall, Thor promptly made the decision.
The others soon agreed as well.
Afterward, they began their preparations.
Meanwhile, Thor and Morris went together to bid farewell to Ruby.
Ruby didn’t urge them to stay, as he knew they’d already purchased the Purple Gold Grass, and since it would only last for six months, they needed to return quickly.
After completing everything, the time had reached the afternoon.
Under the afternoon sunshine, their large group once again set out on their journey.
The destination was Dressrosa.
The return trip was undoubtedly smoother than the journey there.
Even though they passed by the Emerson Family along the way, no incidents occurred.
Apparently, Count Emerson had no intention of taking any action.
As for other matters on the road, there were even fewer.
While they encountered an attack by a Cyan Grey Wolf on the way there, on the way back, not a single demon beast attack occurred.
It was quite normal.
After all, this was the Frost Moon Province, not the Northern Province, where demon beasts were not common.
The probability of encountering a demon beast was lower than encountering bandits.
Moreover, even if there were bandits, looking at this mighty group, they dared not act.
Thus, everything proceeded smoothly.
Unlike their journey to Pat City, on their return, Thor chose to travel by carriage.
After all, many of the carriages were now empty.
Additionally, he wanted to use the ten-day journey back to study the relics he had purchased as "junk."
Traveling by carriage was naturally much more convenient.
The convoy gradually moved along.
Inside a carriage,
Thor was meticulously examining.
Unfortunately, after three consecutive days, he found no traces.
Of course, this was quite normal.
If it were so easy to discover, Andrew wouldn’t have taken it out for sale.
But just as Thor became vexed, considering whether to wait and see if the system would respond,
on the seventh day after leaving Pat City,
the continent-wide annual Star Moon Festival arrived.
This was a very important festival on the continent.
On this day each year, the Blood Moon would transform into a Silver Moon, and Life Source Power would become extremely active, making cultivation more successful.
