A huge shadow appeared under his feet, and the sound of "crunching" branches rubbing against each other made the chickens go crazy. And the "magic" that Ulala blurted out.

All this caused the group of Hoffils to panic.

Suddenly, one of them fell to his knees again and shouted, "My lord, we will never have that stupid idea again, we will always follow in the footsteps of my lord, great lord, please forgive us!"

Immediately afterward, the Hofers fell to their knees and begged for mercy, and only Ulala and Kubobo were still exploring the truth of this magic.

At that moment, a leaf fell from Kubobo's eyes, and he looked up sharply, and sat down on the ground in fright.

"Look......" Kubobo pointed to the top of his head.

All the Hofers looked up, and it was a dense collection of branches and leaves, and everyone looked in the direction from which the branches and leaves had extended, and these branches and leaves actually came from the nearby hills.

Now, all the reactions just now make sense.

As Ulala had said, Cross was showing magic, magic they had never seen before!

In the time in Sunset City, Watson's sudden transformation and Cross's statement made Hofer admire Cross's strength, and this time, they admired Cross's strength!

Strength is the guarantee of survival in troubled times compared to the amount of power, and besides, this is not ordinary power, this is magic! It is magic that only a very few beings can master!

It's reassuring and proud to rely on a lord who can use magic.

"Your Excellency Cross! I, Ku Bo Bo, am willing to serve you forever!" Ku Bo Bo couldn't contain the excitement in his heart.

Subsequently, the same oath was taken by those who were Hofel.

Empress Ulala finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Link stopped casting spells, and Cross stopped performing clumsy magic circle drawing techniques, he just said lightly, "Please keep this matter a secret, I don't want to reveal my identity." You should understand that wizards are the most vulnerable profession to assassination. ”

"Be sure to keep it a secret!"

"Please rest assured, lord!"

"Let's go, everyone else is waiting for us. ”

And just like that, with Link's help, Cross unleashed amazing magic in front of the Hofel. From then on, in the hearts of these Hofers, Cross became a powerful wizard.

......

Returning to the granary with the group of Hoffers, two of them did not hold on, and were controlled by Reiner and Wendy. The two men glanced at Cross and lowered their heads, as if they realized their mistake and the angry gazes of the others.

If someone fails, everyone will be punished, this is the rule that Cross set before he left. It is precisely because of this rule that those who have not failed will cast angry and disappointed glances at the two who have not persevered.

In fact, Cross's rules are already very relaxed, he only asks these people not to leave their positions, not to stand and do nothing.

But even so, there are still people who can't do it.

The fact that both of them were men bought from Sunset City also shows that they are relatively poorly disciplined, and that Cross's plan to train the discipline of everyone in Copperhill Town is indeed the right thing to do.

And, it seems to have had some effect. People saw Cross returning, still keeping the queue neat.

Wendy walked quickly over to Cross and asked quietly, "Do you still want to stay in line?"

Cross nodded.

Subsequently, he put the Hoffers in the front row. And explained to them what these people were doing in the granary, and also explained the rewards and punishments.

At this moment, Ku Bobo suddenly stood up from the queue, "My lord, I am willing to be punished for everyone, it is because of me that you will come to us, and it is because of this that you will let them stand in the queue."

If you want to punish me, please punish me!"

Immediately afterwards, all the Hofers stood up, and they all wanted to be heroes, and they all wanted to take all the responsibility.

The humans behind them breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's true that they did it. ”

"That's right, they should be punished!"

If they hadn't arrived so late, we wouldn't have had to suffer this sin. ”

These humans were much quieter this time, but they still couldn't escape Link's ears, and Cross naturally knew what they were thinking.

"Well, since you ask me so, I can only say yes to you.

But one thing you're wrong about is that even if you're not late, I'll keep everyone in line. ”

Cross paused for a moment to make everyone understand what he meant.

When he said this, he revealed two very straightforward messages.

First, he wants to tell everyone that standing in line is not a punishment.

Second, he wanted to let the humans know that instead of harming them, the Hoffils had been punished for them.

In order to alleviate the internal contradictions, Cross also took great pains.

Then, he continued, "All the Hoffers, you must keep this queue for half an hour, and you must not move in any way during the queue, and you must not move your whole body.

This is the punishment for you. ”

"Yes, my lord!" the Hofer accepted the punishment with confidence.

Cross looked at the two losers, "You two go back to the queue."

With the exception of the Hofel, who cannot move their bodies, the others can live in place, but still cannot leave the range. ”

"Yes!" replied in unison.

Seeing that everyone was grouped in, Cross motioned for Wendy and Reiner to stand to his side.

He cleared his throat and began to speak.

"In this place, there are no slaves and masters, and there is no need to distinguish between humans and sub-humans, we are all our own people.

All of you here are residents of Copperhill, including myself, of course.

However, I still have an identity, that is, the lord of Copper Mountain Town, and also your lord.

As a lord, I hope that Copperhill can become rich and powerful, and I also hope that you can live in a better environment.

In order to achieve this, we must be united, and once there is a conflict within us, then we are not far from destruction.

Solidarity is the minimum I ask of you.

In addition to this, I have other requirements, let's start with uniformity, which is today's station queue.

From today onwards, every night at 7 p.m., you will all have to stand here in line. Until the day the grain arrives.

Unless there is a physical discomfort or special circumstances, no one can be absent!"
