It’s not just the issue of the Church of Gods.
More importantly, it’s the system in the Sarca Kingdom.
Although Marquis Engel mentioned some details before, Thor was more surprised upon entering the Sarca Kingdom.
It’s different from other kingdoms.
On the continent, ninety percent of the kingdoms are mostly in an imperial model, which is the aristocratic republic system. Although there is a king, the nobility also holds considerable power, with absolute control over their domains. However, in the Sarca Kingdom, there are not strong enough nobles, the whole Sarca Kingdom is under a high degree of monarchical absolutism, with administrative officials scattered across various places.
Every city, every territory, is under the jurisdiction of the Sarca King.
The entire Sarca Kingdom has only one voice, which is the voice of the Sarca King.
Upon entering the Sarca Kingdom, you can clearly feel this.
Even Thor couldn’t help but marvel at it.
Of course, besides marveling, there was also a hint of solemnity in his expression.
Because the day he stepped into the Sarca Kingdom, an entirely new daily intelligence immediately captured all his attention.
"Daily intelligence updated!"
"Open it?"
"Open!"
The familiar mechanical voice sounded as Thor spoke, and new lines of text were immediately displayed.
[Daily intelligence updated]
[1: Three hundred miles west of you, a group of Earth Dragons will pass by]
[2: In ten days, you’ll enter the first city in the Sarca Kingdom, and from within the city, the Seventh Prince of the Sarca Kingdom has set his eyes on you, your name has caught his attention]
[3: In eleven days, the Seventh Prince of the Sarca Kingdom challenges you to a duel, an accident occurs, and the Seventh Prince dies]
[4: The death of the Seventh Prince instantly plunges you into pursuit within the Sarca Kingdom]
[5: The Earth Dragon Knight Order from the Sarca Kingdom’s Western Legion is hunting you down, you successfully defeat the Western Earth Dragon Legion but encounter an attack by a group of Earth-bound Dragons]
[6:.......]
......
[10: Defeated by Prince Salca, you accidentally fall into a gorge]
As lines of text appeared, Thor’s gaze inevitably sharpened, even though he was already prepared.
After all, previously his father had set a flag for him, making him extremely cautious with the Sarca Kingdom.
But he didn’t expect the trouble would come so soon.
The first step in the Sarca Kingdom, and problems arose.
Targeted by the Seventh Prince, followed by the Seventh Prince’s death, he was hunted.
Starting from the second line all the way to the tenth, it seemed like they were all his troublesome matters.
And each one was more troublesome than the last.
He could even see an invisible net closing in around him.
The Seventh Prince’s challenge, the Seventh Prince’s death.
It all seemed bizarre.
With his temperament, Thor felt the probability of accepting the challenge was very low, let alone killing a prince in another’s kingdom, that probability was even lower.
Yet all this still happened.
If there weren’t any issues, it would undoubtedly be a ghost story.
But evidently, even knowing there were issues, Thor still couldn’t see where these issues truly lay with the known information and these daily intelligence.
"I wonder if I can avoid it!"
He murmured softly, then took out a map.
His sight began to focus on the map.
Given the issues, if possible, Thor had no intention of foolishly running into them.
If he can avoid it, of course he should.
His gaze interwoven.
Very quickly, Thor’s eyes brightened.
It seemed there was a chance to avoid the route.
Though it might delay about half a month’s journey, this clearly wasn’t a problem.
After all, there’s still plenty of time now.
Very soon, Thor decided to take a detour.
Yet soon, only one day later, Thor’s altered route was unexpectedly halted.
His eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Because just now, the content refreshed by the daily intelligence on the newly chosen route made him dare not proceed.
Because, unknowingly, on their necessary path, there has already started the advent of a Divine Revelation. At their current speed, they would reach just as the Divine Revelation descends.
Thor furrowed his brow, choosing to change routes again.
But the result remained the same.
This time, it wasn’t the impending Divine Revelation, but it had already descended.
Two choices, two situations undoubtedly leading to death.
Even Thor felt the unusual nature in this.
Everyone’s figures stopped.
All eyes focused on Thor.
"Move according to the original route!"
Thor took a deep breath and then spoke with a deep tone.
They exchanged glances, at this moment, they could naturally sense something, feeling somewhat anxious.
"Master!"
Anna opened her mouth instinctively.
Ivira opened her mouth, ready to speak.
"Continue to try!"
"If it doesn’t work in seven days, we’ll temporarily choose to retreat!"
Understanding their intentions, Thor spoke in a deep voice.
He’s not the kind to seek death, seven days is the time he has given to the daily intelligence and his own choice.
If truly unfeasible, seven days would be sufficient for a substantial refresh of daily intelligence, and then retreating would not be too late.
After all, the current daily intelligence hadn’t refreshed any information of his death, indicating that as long as he doesn’t change routes, he wouldn’t die within three months.
Once Thor finished speaking, they proceeded forward again.
This time there was no more change of route, but followed the original one.
In the following days, the daily intelligence kept refreshing.
Each time brought massive troubles.
But Thor couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Just as he imagined, traversing the Sarca Kingdom following the original path brought only troubles, not death.
If he changes routes...
Then the situation would be completely different.
Death would likely ensue.
Take, for instance, two directions, one with an impending Divine Revelation, the other with a descended one.
Clearly, whichever, encountering them spells certain death.
In the Holy Sanctuary, the power is strong enough that should he face Gaddafi now, he feels confident enough for a fight.
But that’s just the Divine Domain.
When facing the Deities, even the lowest Lower-Rank God, he would be instantly killed, with no other possibility.
Even possessing the divinity of Upper-Rank Death God Thanatos bears no exception.
After all, divinity is divinity, Deities are Deities, not comparable.
"Phew!"
Exhaling deeply, seeing the final intelligence of exiting the Sarca Kingdom smoothly, Thor couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Yet alongside the sigh, Thor also felt a bit strange.
In the information from daily intelligence.
The entire Sarca Kingdom felt incredibly odd.
Someone seemed to want him dead, but also seemed someone wanted to protect him.
Because of this, he faced constant trouble but never truly encountered a mortal threat.
Moreover, the entire Sarca Kingdom seemed extremely familiar with the name Dressrosa.
His mind inadvertently recalled his father’s familiarity with the Sarca Kingdom, and Thor’s expression grew increasingly peculiar.
"Dressrosa, Sarca Kingdom!"
Murmuring to himself, Thor fell into contemplation.
