Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence-Chapter 194 - 142: Rajos’s Choice (Part 2)

The knight respectfully responded and quickly retreated.

Watching the knight leave, Thor’s eyes couldn’t help but flicker.

In his mind, countless thoughts were constantly flashing.

This opportunity was something he hadn’t anticipated.

Even with just a few words from Tono, he could sense endless opportunities within.

If he could seize it, his territory would truly soar to great heights.

In contemplation.

"Knock knock!"

The door was gently knocked.

"Come in!"

Thor’s thoughts swirled as he looked towards the door.

"Creak!"

The door made a soft sound as it opened.

The maid Karen walked in.

"Sir, Lord Rajos has returned and requests to see you!"

Karen spoke respectfully.

"Alright, let him in!"

Thor nodded.

Karen then retreated.

A moment later, Thor saw the travel-worn Rajos.

Compared to a few months ago, Rajos was undoubtedly darker, and he looked somewhat haggard.

"Sir, you were looking for me?"

Rajos spoke respectfully, and by now, his way of addressing Thor had already changed.

"How are things?"

"It’s said that the Eagle Merchant Association has been impacted."

Thor spoke, with a hint of inquiry.

"Indeed, there were some impacts before. Those noble lords opened the garrisons, making it difficult for the association to expand, but most of them have lifted these restrictions about half a month ago."

"However, I don’t know what’s going on now. Prices of a lot of goods in the Western Region are dropping rapidly, and the association is inevitably affected."

Rajos nodded, then shook his head with a bitter smile.

During this time, he indeed felt exhausted, the constant running around made him feel a bit overwhelmed.

But more importantly, the situation hadn’t improved.

Originally, when those noble lords lifted the garrisons, he felt puzzled but also delighted, thinking the difficult period was over.

But who would have thought that this would be followed by a dramatic fall in various goods prices.

Moreover, it’s foreseeable that the impact will be even greater in the time to come.

This made him extremely uncomfortable.

"You don’t know yet?"

Hearing Rajos’ words and seeing his expression, Thor was taken aback and asked with curiosity.

"Sir, what did you say?"

Rajos asked, bewildered.

"Isn’t there any news from your family yet?"

Thor curiously asked.

"What news?"

Rajos was even more bewildered.

"The Northern Province might soon experience a Divine Revelation. These powerful noble lords are all eager to flee, dumping their goods to minimize losses."

Thor replied with a light smile.

His tone was calm.

But the content of his words made Rajos shudder, his pupils widening unconsciously.

"S-Sir, w-what did you say?"

Rajos asked, his words stuttering slightly.

"The day of Divine Revelation, my father had translated from those Titan texts, some of the top nobles likely discovered the same thing, but the Assad Family didn’t notice."

Thor nodded, explaining the situation, his expression somewhat surprised. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Of course, he didn’t know at the time that although many knew of this information, not too many had discovered it. Only the top nobles, especially those with substantial power in the Northern Province, had truly noticed it.

Although the Assad Family was quite prominent among the Count’s Clan, they lacked significant power in the Northern Province, so they naturally didn’t know about this matter.

"This, this!"

Listening to Thor’s confirmation, Rajos became quite flustered.

His face instantly turned pale.

"Rest assured, this time there shouldn’t be much of a problem, the Kingdom has long discovered it and it won’t be too severe."

"Of course, if you’re worried, you can choose to withdraw. I’ll buy back your shares for five thousand gold coins."

Seeing the pale-faced Rajos, Thor couldn’t help but offer comfort, and then added another sentence after a thought.

Rajos had indeed helped him a lot during this time, so he naturally wouldn’t force him to stay.

Thor remembered kindness.

"Sir, I!"

Rajos instinctively wanted to speak.

But was stopped by Thor’s gesture.

"You can think it over carefully, I won’t force you."

"Give me an answer within three days."

Thor shook his head, speaking softly.

Rajos, feeling a bit chaotic in his thoughts, didn’t even know how he left the study.

Watching Rajos leave.

Thor didn’t say anything.

This was human nature.

This wasn’t just any crisis; once "Divine Revelation" erupts, it almost symbolizes destruction, so panic is inevitable.

No panic would be bizarre.

This is something he could understand.

Even if Rajos chose to leave, he would accept it and truly offer him five thousand gold coins.

Some things Thor could distinguish clearly.

The night gradually descended.

Returning to his room, Rajos’ mind was extremely restless, as thoughts intertwined.

Fear.

Worry.

Confusion.

In several moments, he even thought of leaving.

Five thousand gold coins, plus his current status within his family, would allow him to accomplish many things he couldn’t imagine before.

Divine Revelation, that truly meant certain death.

If Thor decided to stay, why would he stay to meet his end as well?

"Perhaps, I should advise the Sir!"

Another thought flashed in Rajos’ mind.

Unclear how long it lasted or how long it continued.

Until scenes from Loren City flashed through his mind one day, images from his territory appeared.

Scenes of his family’s increasing status appeared.

Somehow, his panicked heart gradually settled down.

Other thoughts gradually retreated.

His mind made a firm decision.

Without Thor, he wouldn’t have any of this.

Even with significant risks, since Thor decided to stay, he naturally couldn’t leave.

With a swift movement, he got out of bed and went to the desk.

He picked up the quill pen and paper.

And began to write.

Since deciding to stay.

His strong business acumen instantly presented countless opportunities in this situation.

Time gradually passed.

The night passed by as expected.

The next morning arrived.

Rajos knocked on Thor’s door once more.

"Knock knock!"

The door was gently knocked, and after a sleepless night, Rajos wasn’t weary at all but instead appeared excited.

In his hand were the results of the previous night’s work.

"Please come in!"

A gentle voice sounded.

Rajos promptly opened the door and walked in.

"Rajos?"

Seeing him, Thor was slightly surprised, his expression a bit unexpected.

"Sir!"

Rajos spoke respectfully.

"You don’t have to be in such a rush; you can think it over for another two days."

Thor looked at Rajos, and after a moment of silence, spoke seriously.

"Sir, time is truly valuable right now. This is our chance, and if we can seize it, both the Eagle Territory and the Eagle Merchant Association will experience rapid growth."

"Three days is too long!"

"Moreover, without you, Sir, I might have been expelled from the Assad Family by now. I will not leave."

Rajos shook his head and spoke earnestly.
