Duke held up the white jade slab in his hand and looked at it carefully in the moonlight.

This slate can be said to be the biggest gain of this upgrade.

Its name is the Divine Revelation Charm, and its function is to recruit strange races roaming the vicinity by instilling ideas, whether it is dragons, dwarves, elves, or orcs, it is possible to successfully recruit, and the higher the overall strength of the target, the more difficult it is.

It serves a similar role in performing miracles, drawing the target in through suggestion.

It's a godsend for Duke.

Because the strange races have their own special skills and habits, they can bring more impetus to the development of their territory.

So Duke still has a big demand gap for them.

If you are really sleepy, you will send a pillow.

Thinking so, Duke put away the slate first, now was not the time to use it right away, he had to carefully consider the needs of the territory before making a decision.

So he yawned, turned and went to bed.

After all, he has to be busy tomorrow.

......

Early morning.

Vlavich boarded the carriage with the help of the butler and drove slowly towards the town hall.

The butler who drove the car had been with him for almost thirty years, and every time he was able to get him to his destination on time and comfortably.

But today it is somewhat unusual.

He listened to the noisy and indeciphered chatter outside the window, felt the near-standstill carriage, and frowned slightly.

"What's going on outside?" he asked the butler outside the car.

"Sir, it seems that the Duke has issued a new decree, and the lords have gathered around the bulletin board to watch, blocking the road. The butler's slightly anxious voice came from outside.

Decree?

The Home Secretary did not seem to have received any orders.

Vlavich was a little puzzled and a little uneasy.

"You go and listen to the soldiers outside read out what the decree is, and then come back and tell me. He felt that he should let the butler know about it and prepare himself.

The butler took the order, and after a while he came back with a strange expression.

"What's wrong?" Vlavich said with a butler's expression, feeling worse than before.

"It's so strange, my lord, it's really incredible!" said the butler, repeating his meaningless exclamation.

"What the hell is going on!" Vlavic was already starting to get a little angry, glaring at the butler fiercely.

"Well, sir. The steward paused slightly, looking at his master with some embarrassment, "The lord has just issued a decree announcing that serfs and untouchables are also free to join the army, can own their own fields, and can start reclamation and registration from today. ”

Well?

Why did such radical reforms begin without deliberation?

He was a little furious, but the butler's subsequent words left him with complete surprise.

"But my lord, it seems that all the lords can read the decree on the bulletin board, and I see that even newcomers can read it without the help of others. The butler sighed and continued.

Can everyone read the decree?

"What if I give them some literacy and vision?"

Vlavich remembered what Duke had said to him in the back garden yesterday afternoon, when they were arguing about the complete emancipation of the serfs and untouchables.

Duke said something that bordered on jokes.

But this incredible thing actually came true this morning!

"Quick, quick, get me to the castle, I'll see the duke!" Vlavich got back into the carriage and urged the butler to hurry up.

The butler did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly drove the carriage away in the direction of the castle.

When Vlavich arrived at the castle, he happened to meet the chief knight who had come to report the situation.

"You know what? Our lords seem to have completed their low-level grammar education overnight, and they can all read the words on the bulletin, and even write, which is incredible!" Lenia said to Vlavic with some excitement, waving her hands unconsciously.

"I already know on the way here, so let's go and report this to the Duke now, and maybe the Duke will be able to answer the question. Vlavic was much calmer than Lenya, because he already had a vague guess in his mind, but it still made him incredulous.

"Lord Duke knows why?" Lenia looked at Vlavic with some confusion, obviously not knowing what connection could exist between the two.

Without further explanation, Vlavich nodded to her and walked into the castle first.

Lenia could only follow Vlavic into the castle in confusion.

Duke had just finished breakfast and was sitting in his office working on papers.

He was not surprised when the two ministers came to meet him together, and he had prepared a set of statements to respond to them.

"Lord, something strange has happened in our territory. After the salute, Lenia, who was still outspoken, spoke first, "Our subjects have mastered the ability to read and write overnight, and can read and understand the meaning of the decree without obstacles!"

Duke smiled and looked at the chief knight who was still a little excited in front of him, and he was still a little satisfied with his actions last night.

"Lord, I wonder if you remember what you said to me in the back garden yesterday?" Vlavich saw that Duke didn't open his mouth to explain, so he tentatively reminded him first.

"Of course I remember, Vlavic. Duke stood up with emotion on his face, his face shining with the light of a divine stick, "It is a miracle that the ignorant people have mastered the basic knowledge of reading and writing overnight! God has mercy on His Lamb!"

"But, you said it yesterday......" Vlavich didn't believe Duke's pompous performance, but he was interrupted by Duke as soon as he said the first half of his sentence.

"Vlavic, you are a smart man, you should know that what we need is the result and not the process. Duke waved his hand and picked up a few more sheets of paper from the table.

"There are still many things waiting for us to do, whether it is counting the amount of land reclaimed, maintaining law and order in the territory, or arranging for new foreign populations in the future, it is inseparable from the efforts of you, the Minister of the Interior. As he spoke, Duke handed Vlavic his list of plans and do's and don'ts.

"So, would you like to help me accomplish something you didn't accomplish before?" Duke looked earnestly at the gray-haired, somewhat clumsy old man in front of him.

Vlavich looked at Duke's serious eyes in front of him, and the dense text on the paper he had received, and suddenly felt a passion that was not appropriate for his age echoed in his chest.

"It is my duty as a subordinate to help my lord complete his task, and I will do my best to do my job. Vlavic put his right hand on his chest and bowed deeply to Duke.

Duke accepted him calmly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
