Chapter 66 An unexpected surprise
It took Roning five and a half days to cross the woods leading to Shanlin Town. In order to take care of the condition of the slaves, he walked very slowly.
During this journey, he experienced the twenty-eighth day of his travel through time, which was a full month in this world. Luo Ning finally received the fourth heartwarming gift package for the monthly sign-in.
This time, the attribute points and energy essence in the heartwarming gift package are naturally more than the previous three, with 40 attribute points and energy essence each.
From then on, the monthly sign-in was completed, and a new cycle began with the arrival of September 1st.
Roning can also calculate the number of attribute points and energy essences he can obtain through monthly sign-ins at the Baron stage, which are 139 points and 115 points, respectively.
It may not seem like much, but when accumulated, it's quite a bit.
Before arriving at Shanlin Town, Luo Ning used up all the attribute points and energy essence obtained from signing in.
At this time, his Level progress has reached:
[Level]: 2-Intermediate Knight (12/200); 2-Intermediate Magician (251/300)
If nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to break through to the advanced Level of dual professions in more than a month.
Elrond's Level progress has also increased to Intermediate Magician of Light (131/300). In more than a month, he will be able to break through and become a senior magician.
By then, a small mountain town will have four high-level professionals. Just imagine how exciting it would be.
In addition, although Roning did not give McKen extra points this time, the latter also increased his cultivation progress by two points through his own practice.
Compared with McKen and Elrond, his qualifications are a little worse.
If both of them devote themselves to cultivation, the former may increase his cultivation progress by about four points per month and the latter by about nine points.
Now, it is difficult for Ronin to estimate the speed of Redar's self-cultivation, but considering that the other party has the scorching sun qualification, it should be faster than Elron.
The only thing that made Roning dissatisfied was that after McKen and the other two reached the peak of advanced levels, if they wanted to break through to become bronze knights or great magicians, they had to wait for him, their master, to break through first.
It would be nice if I could break through on my own.
"This is Hillwood Castle."
Ronin pointed to the castle in front and introduced it to Ridar: "At present, McKen, Elrond and you are arranged to live in the inner castle, and Tom, David and others live in the outer castle. When the town behind is planned and built, I will build houses for you, and you can move in then."
The three of them didn't seem to be very interested in this, and McKen even said, "Sir, I am your guard officer and should follow you. I don't need to live outside."
Redar and Elrond shrugged as if to express that they also didn't need it.
Tom thought the lord's suggestion was very good, but since the other two did not show any interest, he did not express anything.
Luo Ning laughed and joked, "Why, when you get married and have kids, will the whole family live with me and eat and drink for free?"
Well...
McKen was stunned by this statement, and for a moment, he didn't know how to refute it. To be honest, he had never thought about this question.
"Sir, can we also marry and have children?" He was a little unsure.
Luo Ning looked McKen up and down, wondering, "Why, you can't? You can't have children?"
He glanced suspiciously at Elrond and Redal beside him. If Tom hadn't been there, he would have wanted to ask if these two people were also infertile.
Such a look obviously touched the souls of the three men.
Mikan blushed, "No, no, no, sir, you misunderstood..."
Elrond shook his head repeatedly, "My lord, I should be fine, yes, no problem!"
Rydar also waved his hand, "Sir, please don't look at me. I'm fine."
Tom scratched his head. Why did the topic suddenly change to something that made him uncomfortable? In order to prevent others from misunderstanding, he emphasized: "I should be fine too? Sir, I can still hold up the quilt when I get up in the morning."
Roning couldn't help but glance at Tom. This guy was definitely bragging. He didn't expect that he looked honest and simple, but he was so straightforward when bragging.
Back to the point, Luo Ning said seriously, "I never said you can't marry and have children. On the contrary, I hope you can give me more children and contribute to the development and growth of Shanlin Town."
After a few jokes, the relationship between him and his subordinates became closer. When Roning walked to the bottom of the castle, David strode out with his guards.
"Welcome back, sir!"
"Thanks for your hard work!"
Ronin consoled him and introduced him to Ridar, "This is the 'David' I mentioned to you. He is the only guard I brought out of Wushan Castle who became a professional knight."
David looked at Ridar. He didn't know this man's identity, but since the lord specially introduced him to the other party, this red-haired young man must be extraordinary.
David then saluted the other party with a knight's salute and respectfully reported to Ronin: "Sir, I was the only one when you left, but not now."
"Oh?" Luo Ning raised his eyebrows, his eyes shining, "Another breakthrough?"
"Yes!"
David said happily: "Both Juwitt and Sim have made breakthroughs."
Luo Ning was slightly surprised, "Two?"
"Yes, two people!"
David introduced: "Jewett's breakthrough was on the fourth day of your departure, and Sim's breakthrough was later, on the evening of the day before yesterday."
"Not bad, not bad!"
Roning was very happy. In this way, the number of extraordinary people in the territory increased again.
No matter that the opponent only has beginner-level strength, as long as he has awakened his fighting spirit seed, his combat effectiveness will be able to widen the gap with ordinary people at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Tom, go inform Chahar and the kitchen later. There will be a banquet in the castle tonight. All extraordinary people are invited to attend to celebrate the fact that Shanlin Town has two, no, three more professional knights!"
"Also, tomorrow morning, have all the guards and servants gather in front of the fort's lobby. All the extraordinary people should also be present. I will settle your salary for last month."
When paying employees their first salary, the occasion always has to be grand.
Luo Ning left the subsequent work to Chahar.
When they heard that the lord was going to pay salaries, everyone laughed. It was just money; who wouldn't be happy?
Especially the guards guarding the castle gate; their hearts were filled with joy when they heard these words.
Facts have proved that the lord is kind and trustworthy, and all the promises he made to them in Wushan Castle are being fulfilled.
Being able to follow such a lord and become his trusted troops is truly a blessing bestowed upon them by the Seven Gods.
At the same time, they also envied Zhuwitt and Sim, who had entered the Level of professional knights and were different from them.
When will they be able to break through and become extraordinary people?
Alas, it's no use. Maybe I really need to train hard every day like Jewett and Sim.
Is there any way to break through without exercise?
The guards' thoughts were all over the place, and soon they returned to their salaries. They didn't know where they spent the money.
It seems that there is not even a pub in Hillwood Town.
