037. Tranquility
At Horn's insistence, Allen's protests were ineffective, and he eventually became the Baron of the Merlin family.
After giving way, Horn seemed to have finally unloaded his burden, and he was more relaxed and active than before, basically spending the whole day on the training ground.
Of course, he did not lie to Allen, and none of the family's trivial matters Horn was left behind.
It was a very tiring thing to check the rune qualification of the body, especially when a dozen people were waiting in line together, which lasted for two whole days.
Women like Olya and Anne were better, but it was much more uncomfortable to face Hermet and the male guards.
Especially the old hunter, who has not bathed all year round, the sour smell on his body is as good as that of Cobb, and he can't even open his eyes.
In the end, he had to suspend the inspection process and order everyone to take a shower, and after washing it up, he could identify the rune qualifications.
To Allen's regret, not all of these selected people are extremely talented, and the worst rune qualification among them is a half-elf woman, with only seven green rune slots.
It's a pity, but it doesn't have much impact, after all, Eren has just stepped into the threshold of making green runes, and there is still a way to go to promote it among ordinary subordinates.
Alan also found a problem that had previously been somewhat whimsical.
In fact, ordinary guards and half-elves do not have a specific direction, and Eren does not have many options to provide now, most of the guards prioritize strength, followed by agility.
Several half-elves, because they are all archers, take precedence over agility.
According to the number of runes Alan currently has, each guard can only get one Great Power Rune, while the half-elf archers get the Haste Rune.
In addition to this, the old hunter Hermet was carrying two runes of haste, and Guy was a rune of great strength and a rune of haste.
However, in addition to loading a haste rune on her body, Olya also applied for a mana enhancement rune with Allen.
According to what she said, if the energy in her body is increased a little more, then she can use two Demon Breaking Arrows without recovering.
At first, Alan didn't want to load Olya with the mana enhancement rune, not because he was reluctant, but because he didn't know if the magic enhancement rune was effective for the energy in the elf's body.
Regarding Alan's worries, Olya behaved generously,
"If it doesn't work, then tear it down again. ”
When she said this, Eren was extremely speechless, and he could suddenly imagine why the elven elders could not control Olya.
Luckily, when the loading was complete, Olya felt the energy in her body, and it did increase significantly.
After arranging the runes of the others, there was only one Great Power Rune left for Horn, and although the former Lord Baron was a little unhappy, there was no other way to do it due to lack of materials.
As for the runes left for himself, Alan originally prepared two magic enhancement runes, but Olya asked for one, so he only had one left.
In fact, Allen's favorite thing is a skill-based green rune, but unfortunately that rune is difficult to make, and the crossing rate of the magic array group has reached more than fifty percent, and he doesn't have enough materials in his hand.
After arranging everyone's runes, Eren gave everyone two days to improve their strength.
Alan also didn't let up in the past two days, and the process of making the green rune allowed him to control his magic power beyond several levels, and he tried to integrate this ability into the spellcasting process, so that he could release his magic more freely.
Allen's current level is close to the peak of the second level, but both the amount of magic power in his body and the control of magic power are beyond the limit of his level, and he naturally has to start studying new magic.
The strength of the ten people who were originally ordinary suddenly skyrocketed, which shocked everyone in Musenburg at once, and everyone was trying their best to inquire about the reasons behind it, but unfortunately these ten people were silent.
In the end, they only heard that many people had taken a shower the day before their strength skyrocketed.
But there are also smart people among these people, like Dinah, who found Alan as soon as she learned the news.
She knew that the increase in strength of these people must have something to do with the new baron, but Dinah wanted to know what the price would have to pay.
However, she didn't get an answer.
In the Hot Wind Forest before, when she persuaded Olya, Dinah did a lot of help, and Alan always wanted to thank Dinah.
So he promised to help Dinah improve his strength once, but not now, because all the conditions did not allow it.
"No, I want it, I want it now, I will agree to any conditions!"
Dinah shouted in Alan's room, and the servants in the castle courtyard looked surprised.
"Can you really do anything?"
Alan looked Dinah up and down carelessly, as if he wanted to see her through for a moment.
"Forget it, let's wait, if you still have such a strong desire after calming down, I will promise you. ”
With that, Eren ignored Dinah and left the room.
Alan then ordered his attendants to summon Locke, Olya, Cobb, and Hermit to the council hall, and he himself went to find his father.
Once in the council hall, Alan ordered everyone else to leave, and then left two rune-laden guards at the door, no one allowed to enter.
Subsequently, the six servants stayed in the hall until the sun went down, and even the dinner of Musenburg was postponed because of this.
But no one dared to disturb them, because the swords of the two guards at the door would be sharp as soon as anyone approached.
It wasn't until more than five hours had passed that Alan came out with everyone, and no one knew what they had talked about.
The next morning, Alan had a rare sleep, and got up after the morning bell rang for a long time.
Linda seemed to know something, and had already prepared new clothes for him, and helped him get dressed after serving Alan after washing.
"The runes are not prepared enough this time, so I owe them first, and I will make up for you next time. ”
Looking at Linda, who was seriously buttoning herself, Alan couldn't help but reach out and rub her face.
"Well, everything is arranged by the young master. ”
Linda didn't dodge either, letting Allen's hands ravage her face, and even deliberately slowed down the speed of buttoning.
However, after Alan pinched it for a while, he felt that such a non-resistant suppression was boring, so he took the initiative to take his hand back.
After cleaning up, Alan went to the dining room to have breakfast with Horn before saying goodbye and leaving.
At this time, at the gate of Fort Mussen, Locke and Cobb were waiting here with five rune guards.
It is worth mentioning that Locke rarely wore a brand new set of armor today, shining in the warm sun, and Cobb also changed into a new set of clothes.
"Good morning, young master. ”
After seeing Alan coming, everyone bowed their heads and saluted, but forgot to change the title to "Lord Baron".
Alan didn't care, and after greeting everyone, he was ready to get on the carriage and set off.
"Wait a minute, Alan!"
Dinah shouted, and hurried out of the castle, the magician's weak constitution making her a little out of breath under this movement.
"I, I'm calm down now, and I've figured it out, whatever it takes. ”
Alan stared at Dinah's face, and his serious expression made him nod thoughtfully,
"Come, get in the carriage and accompany me to do something. ”
Ignoring Dinah's bewildered expression, Alan pulled her into the car, and with an order, the team headed down the southern avenue.
Long after Alan left, around noon, Olya led fifteen half-elf archers and Hermet to hunt in the Windswept Forest along the path to the north.
Behind them, Horn marched with ninety soldiers from Fort Shewson.
