Fantasy journey to the heavens

Chapter 72 Invitation from Thorne

"what?"

Katim was a little surprised when he saw that the monster in front of him was pinned to the ground easily.

I have to say that the appearance of this monster is indeed a bit scary.

He thought this thing would be quite capable of hitting.

At present, it is estimated that it is slightly stronger than ordinary people.

But yes.

Being invulnerable and not afraid of pain is already a big advantage.

Coupled with the fact that it is slightly stronger than ordinary people, ordinary people probably have no good way to deal with it.

Handing the girl aside to Sembu, Katim stepped forward and continued the test.

After some deeds testing, he obtained much more accurate information.

The so-called invulnerability is not really invulnerability, it is just an exaggeration of ordinary people.

Ordinary people in this world don’t have any decent weapons at home. They usually just have a kitchen knife and a manure fork held up to the sky.

Such weapons are incomparable to the weapons used by knight apprentices specifically for combat. When facing these monsters, you will feel invulnerable.

But if you use a better quality weapon, you can still break the defense.

Just use more force.

It is true that I am not afraid of pain.

In the test, no matter how much Katim tortured him, the monster in front of him showed no reaction at all.

From the looks of it, I guess he really doesn't feel any pain.

But looking at the rotten appearance of the other party's body, Katim suddenly felt normal.

With the appearance of this monster, it's a problem whether the nerves in the opponent's body are still there, and he can't feel pain. Isn't this a normal thing?
The test in other aspects was okay, but the immortality aspect was weak.

Katim didn't even cut off the opponent's head, but just chopped off its body at the waist. The monster was already on the verge of death and would die soon.

This kind of vitality is actually not bad to be honest, but it seems to be a little different from the so-called immortality.

Before Katim could behead it, the monster in front of him was declared dead.

Katim had to get up regretfully and prepare to see if there were any other targets nearby.

He asked the girl in front of him and finally got something.

The other party had been living alone in the mountains for some time after the disaster.

During this time, she also had a general understanding of the traces of some monsters and knew where these things were.

With a guide, things will go much smoother from now on.

By the end of the day, Katim had caught several.

He took these monsters back and prepared to experiment one by one to see if he could find out some valuable information.

As for Baron Senda's territory, it had no choice but to give up at this point.

After the double devastation of the plague and this monster, there were only a few living people left in Baron Senda's territory.

It is still unknown whether living people carry the plague.

Plus those monsters that are already hiding in the mountains.

If you try to occupy this territory now, it will typically result in low returns and a lot of trouble.

Katim simply gave up.

In the following time, he set his sights on other people.

After several attacks, he successfully annexed the territories of some small lords. Although the benefit was not huge, it was still something.

But in the process, he also discovered that there were more and more situations similar to Sendal's around.

Similar plagues occurred in several places.

In just two months, plague broke out in the territories of two or three lords.

Similar things happened one after another.

In this case, Katim had to pause his steps and quickly stop to repair his internal strength to prevent a similar situation from happening in his territory.

"Letter from Lord Thorne?"

In the early morning, when Katim walked out of the room, he received an unexpected news.

The lord of Thorne City sent him a letter.

Katim took out the letter and opened it and read it.

The content of the letter was not a big problem. It was not as Katim thought that he was dissatisfied with his direct and forced succession to the Isen Territory.

On the contrary, the title used for Khadim at the beginning of the letter is Baron.

To a certain extent, this shows that the other party has recognized Katim's behavior and recognized him as the new lord of the Isen Territory.

According to tradition, from this time on, the Ethan Territory also began to be renamed Katim Territory, or other names that Katim liked.

The specific content is to invite Katim to Thorne City to discuss how to solve the recent plague problem.

The letter also vaguely mentioned that a big shot was coming to investigate the situation this time, so Katim must be there when the time comes.

"Big man?"

After reading the entire letter, Katim couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

In the area on the edge of the Black Forest, Earl Thorne, the lord of Thorne City, is already considered a big shot.

He is one of the most powerful lords in the Methen Kingdom with the highest title in this area. He is also the officially appointed governor of the kingdom and has the power to manage most lords in this area.

Of course, locally, local lords have sufficient power, and even Earl Thorne does not have the right to interfere too much.

But it's still an absolute big deal.

Theoretically speaking, if Katim wants to truly inherit the title and territory of Baron Ethan, he must obtain the consent of Earl Thorne before it is legal.

It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, but it will be a lot of trouble later.

One such big shot wrote a letter inviting Khadim to come and also mentioned that another big shot was coming.For Katim, Earl Thorne is already considered a big shot, so what level would Earl Thorne call a big shot?
Could it be that they are those figures in the kingdom's court?
Katim couldn't help but think.

To go or not to go?
This question was nothing for Katim to hesitate about.

The plague continues outside, which in itself is a source of distress to Katim.

It would be best if we could work out a solution together.

At the same time, Katim also understood the subtext of the other party.

The letter refers to Khadim as Baron, but this is not true at the moment and has not been authenticated.

If Katim listened to the other party and went to Thorne City for the appointment, then his title of baron would be a matter of course.

But what if you don’t go?
Then the result is probably different.

If you are already so disobedient even before you have officially inherited the title, won't you have to go to heaven if you officially inherit it?

If he really didn't go, the other party would probably intervene, even to disgust Katim.

Although this impact is not very big, it is still a bit disgusting.

If you can avoid it, try to avoid it.

So even for this title, Katim had to make a trip.

Walking to the room, Katim put away the envelope and then began to prepare for the trip.

This time he left without any entourage, but chose to set off alone.

The reason why I did this was because I had no choice but to do so.

He really didn't have anyone on hand.

After going through all the previous events, at this moment, apart from Katim himself, there was only one Sembu in the entire Ethan Territory who could barely handle it.

But at this moment, plague is breaking out everywhere, and monsters and turmoil occur from time to time.

When Katim leaves, it is best for Sembu to stay in the territory and guard the surrounding areas.

Otherwise, I'm afraid something might go wrong.

As for Maro, although he is obedient and useful, he is still an orc after all.

It's okay in a place like Ethan Land, but it's not very suitable to take it to a human gathering place like Thorne City.

After careful consideration, Katim decided to set off alone.

This way, if something happens, it will be easier to escape later.

He set out from the Ethan Territory and it took him four days to finally reach Thorne City.

Walking into Thorne City, the prosperous atmosphere everywhere suddenly emerged.

Compared to Ethan Territory, Thorne City is a quite prosperous place.

There are many vendors from out of town here, and there are many things that Katim has never seen before.

Even aliens.

On a street, Katim looked at some of the people curiously.

There are people there who look obviously different from ordinary humans.

They have a similar appearance to humans, but they are generally taller and thinner. They have a pair of relatively pointed ears, and their eyes are different from ordinary people, with many special colors.

In addition to possessing characteristics that are different from ordinary people, their appearance is quite good in the eyes of humans. Each one of them can be regarded as delicate and handsome among humans.

This seems to be elves, a race of aliens living in this world, similar to the orcs and half-orcs before.

But the difference is that Katim has seen many orcs and half-orcs before.

But this is the first time I’ve seen this race of elves, Katim.

"There are really elves in this world?"

Standing there, Katim looked at the elves in the distance and couldn't help but become interested.

But at the same time, he also had some doubts in his heart.

In his previous life, he could often hear the names of elves in many works.

Unexpectedly, in another world, he actually saw a species called elves.

And its characteristics were so similar to the elves he knew.

He has sharp ears, handsome appearance and tall figure.
"Is it a coincidence, or some other reason I don't know?"

Katim couldn't help but fall into thinking.

At this moment, several elves in the distance left, and Katim recovered from his thoughts.

He looked at the elves in the distance, then took steps towards the other side.

It didn't take long for him to find Earl Thorne's residence.

"Baron Katim, His Excellency the Count is already waiting for you inside."

Taking out the letter and token, the attendant's face suddenly became respectful, and he spoke softly to Katim.

"Okay, thank you."

Katim nodded and continued walking forward.

After a moment, he opened the door to the room.

Someone was already there waiting for him.

"Welcome to my manor, Baron Katim."

As soon as he entered the room, a voice slowly sounded.

The other party had obviously known about Katim's entry for a long time, so he had been prepared for it.

Katim looked into the room.

Opposite him, a middle-aged man was sitting there.

He was wearing a robe, he looked gentlemanly, and his face looked quite gentle. He was sitting there at the moment, looking at Katim quietly.
