Chapter 5: An Important Piece of Information
At this moment, Thor is unaware of the preparations his father has made for him. He returns to his room, his mind still in turmoil.
Pioneering knight.
Even he did not anticipate such a choice.
And yet, he has chosen it.
Of course, the reason lies in his golden finger.
Without the golden finger, Thor would never have considered the second option.
The second option has high rewards but equally high risks.
Without sufficient strength, a Pioneering knight is essentially a food delivery service.
But with the golden finger, everything changes.
Especially with his golden finger.
The Daily Information System, which refreshes surrounding information daily, is invaluable for a Pioneering knight.
If he could obtain a Life Fruit in a small town, then in the entire Northern Province, he could acquire even more.
With status, strength, and position, he would easily obtain these compared to staying in the DresrosaCastle. As for the risks to others, the Daily Information System would also help him avoid them.
Thus, the choice becomes clear.
Despite this, Thor still feels some anxiety.
A Pioneering knight is not like a castle; the dangers are significant.
After a brief contemplation, Thor calls for his personal attendant.
“Peter, bring me some books about the Northern Province and Pioneering knights from the library!”
Thor instructs his personal attendant.
“Yes, Master Thor, I’ll go right away!”
Peter, though surprised, quickly agrees and leaves.
About half an hour later, a stack of thick books appears before Thor.
Perhaps due to the influence of supernatural forces, this world resembles the medieval period of his previous life, though somewhat different. Paper is widely used in this world, and although the Dresrosafamily has only been around for three hundred years, they have collected quite a few books.
Even those about the Northern Province and Pioneering knights are numerous.
Thor takes a deep breath and begins to read with focused attention.
Although he is prepared and understands that his golden finger will be very useful, it is still necessary to learn as much as possible.
As night falls and stars twinkle before his bed, Peter delivers food. After eating, Thor resumes his reading.
He does not stop until the moon is high in the sky, finally putting down the last book.
“Northern Province!”
Thor mutters to himself, deep in thought.
After reading the books, he has gained some understanding of the Northern Province and Pioneering knights.
The Northern Province.
It is a province established by the Tulip Kingdom in the northern wilderness, less than twenty years old, making it one of the newest provinces. It is rife with monsters and requires many knights and people to explore and develop, which is why Pioneering knights exist.
The kingdom showers the Northern Province with the grace of the Goddess of Life, giving all Pioneering knights the opportunity to gain noble status.
As long as one can develop a town in the Northern Province with no fewer than five thousand people, they can be granted the title of Baron and become a new noble.
As a result, countless knights have flocked to the Northern Province over the past twenty years.
However, the outcomes have not been very promising.
In the vast Northern Province, only fifty-six barons have been granted titles in twenty years.
To compare, there are likely no fewer than three hundred viscounts in the Frost Moon Province and possibly up to a thousand barons, while the Northern Province has only fifty-six barons over the past two decades, with only thirty-six currently surviving. The remaining twenty's fate is predictable.
This is for those who have been granted titles; those who have not been granted titles have suffered even more losses.
Chaos, disorder, and danger are the best and most accurate descriptions of the Northern Province.
Even just reading about it makes Thor frown deeply.
He even feels some regret for his choice.
The danger level seems too high.
He is just an apprentice knight with limited strength. Can he really survive in such an environment?
Just as he is frowning, the mechanical voice in his mind sounds again.
“Ding, the information System has been updated!”
“Do you wish to open it?”
The mechanical voice asks.
“Open!”
Thor's eyes brighten, disregarding his regret, and he eagerly opens it.
The first opening of the information System brought him a huge reward, and he has been eagerly awaiting the second.
Finally, it arrives.
As he speaks, the voice responds.
“Buzz!”

10. In Rosen Town, villager Philia seems to have made an unexpected discovery; he found that manure helps crops grow faster and is carefully hiding it to avoid detection.
The golden text presents today’s information.
Like yesterday, there are ten items.
Thor's attention is focused as he scans through them.
Many are the same as yesterday, with only a few different. His gaze lingers on these unique pieces of information.
“Manure!”
Thor murmurs, shaking his head at the tenth item.
Information in this world is extremely restricted, especially at the lower levels. This scene is quite normal.
He continues to look at the others.
However, as he reads, his calm anticipation turns to shock, and his pupils widen.
“Damn!”
“Sky Knight!”
For a moment, he exclaims in surprise, unable to contain himself.
His gaze fixes firmly on the fourth piece of information.
His eyes are wide, and he even rubs them to make sure he isn’t mistaken.
Despite rubbing his eyes several times, the text remains unchanged.
At this moment, Thor feels his throat go dry.
Sky Knight.
What did he just see?
— The future Sky Knight.
The bold text almost makes his heart stop.
