After the checkpoint in the north of Megalith City was set up for more than ten days, it had to be cancelled due to pressure from all sides.

The commercial suppression has not been effective, Viscount Macbeth has a new action, and many people in the direction of Boulder City have begun to flock to Dalaran every day, nominally to do business, apprenticeship, and find work, but in fact, Macbeth is preparing for the complete subversion of Dalaran's territory.

However, these people did not do anything to endanger the territory, and Donald could not expel them, so he could only increase his patrols, and then simply spent some energy to exchange for two stele-shaped magic props and sentry runes.

Compared to a sentry guard with a time limit, a sentry rune can be created in the same place, and the sentry rune covering a radius of ten kilometers and lasting an infinite duration makes it easier for Donald to monitor the movements of those spies.

The two sentry runes, one south and one north, are placed at both ends of the territory, so that even any movement in the direction of the forest can be known at the first time, ensuring that the territory is not threatened by demonic beasts.

In addition to those foreign populations, the territory has now returned to normal development, and Donald, as a lord, has officially issued his first territorial decree, which is to conduct a territory-wide census and qualification testing.

The former was almost done when they came to the territory, and now it is only the settlement of the subjects according to different ranks, and at the same time, it is stipulated that young people under the age of 20 and children over the age of 10 must go to the special institutions of the territory to undergo qualification testing to determine their future development direction. Children who are not likely to become professionals can also be sent to other locations in the territory to learn knowledge and skills and embark on other paths according to their performance.

Donald doesn't plan to set up a school or anything else at the moment, and it's best to have talent in his own hands.

Children who have detected the talent of a warrior professional can be funded by his lord to receive basic training in the realm. However, the recipient of the grant is required to sign a contract whereby he or she must work for the territory for 10 years in return after obtaining the status of a professional in the future.

In addition, if the caster's qualifications are detected, they will be assigned to the Lord's Mansion as a mage apprentice, and Donald intends to teach it himself.

Ten years is not a long time, but it is enough for the next batch of qualified children to grow up, so that if the infinite virtuous cycle continues, his Dalaran Collar will never fall into a situation where no one is available!

Such an ingenious idea can only be imagined by a person like Donald who lived in an era like the information explosion in his previous life, that life in this world is limited by the gods, and his thoughts are relatively shackled and rigid, and even if there are occasional whimsical ideas, they are suppressed because of the inherent form of thought.

As for the unbelievers and anti-god heretics, their souls have long been nailed to the walls of the unbelievers of the underworld, either devoured by the demons of the abyss, or tortured and perished.

Such a decree can be described as the gospel of the people of Dalaran, who does not want their children to become great professionals and find a good way out?

For a time, the lord's brilliance was second only to the gods in their hearts, and even stronger than the king they had never seen before!

It's the end of summer, and the grapes planted before the end of spring are ripe, and it's time for the harvest to start making wine.

Some of the tricks and recipes in his previous life need to be kept secret, and Donald divides the steps into several parts, which are completed by different workers, and the most critical part of them is to do it himself, so that he is not afraid of revealing secrets.

However, when it came time to make wine, Donald had the whimsical idea to not only mix several barrels of purchased wine into the essence of the moon, but also add a portion of the essence of the moon to each of the new wines during the brewing process.

I thought to myself, "If this thing can improve the quality of the water and improve the wine, then adding it to the grape juice to ferment it may cause other changes! Even if there are no new changes, these fine wines made with the essence of the moon will definitely be much better than those made with ordinary wine!"

It's just that we can't see the results now, and we won't know until at least the end of autumn in two months' time.

With the brewing done and the rest left to the workers, Donald went to the Lord's Mansion and approached William, the political officer in charge of the qualification testing program, to ask him about the situation.

Due to the first time such a plan, the lack of experience and lack of manpower, the warriors went relatively smoothly, after all, whether it was Uther, a paladin, or Clinton and other summoned warriors, it was very easy to detect the talents of the warriors, but the detection of the caster's qualifications was more troublesome.

There is only one mage in the territory, Donald, and if he wants to test those children one by one, he is not too busy? Moreover, when Donald first ascended to the bronze rank, it is when he needs to stabilize the realm, and there are other affairs in the territory that need to be dealt with, which basically takes up all his free time.

As a result, Donald had to hire three Black Iron Mages in the Mage's Guild to carry out the inspection work.

With Messer's prestige in the mage club, Donald has a good relationship with the mages, and the most important reason is that he has now been promoted to become the bronze mage that those black iron mages need to look up to, so the matter of hiring mages is very smooth, Donald directly found these three old-fashioned, but serious mages, and promised to pay for three small purification potions, and successfully invited these three black iron mages.

After the testing manpower was available, nearly 100 school-age children and more than 200 young people in the territory were tested one by one.

However, the testing process of mage qualifications is slow, and the testing of these more than 300 candidates is about to be completed in half a month, and those who have been eliminated by the mage test have to be tested again for the warrior profession, so the overall plan is relatively slow.

William, who was dealing with this matter, heard Donald's inquiry and hurriedly replied, "Lord Lord, so far, all the mage tests have been completed, and a total of four candidates with mage apprenticeship potential have been found, three of them are children in their early tens, and one is a young man who has reached the age of eighteen. ”

"Four apprentices?"

This result was still expected by Donald, there is not one in a hundred people with mage talent among ordinary people, and only one out of thousands of people can truly become a mage. If you have more than 300 people in your territory, you can select four mage apprentices, which is already considered a high yield.

"You go and ask the opinions of these four people's families, and if you agree to my conditions, then bring them to the lord's mansion and follow the plan below!"

"Yes, my lord. ”

At this time, someone came to report that the testing of the fighters had also been completed.

Donald immediately ordered Uther, who was in charge of the test, to be called.

Uther came in and reported to Donald:

"Master, there are a total of thirty-seven people with excellent warrior talents, of which thirty-one are suitable for the swordsman knight profession, and six are suitable for the assassin profession, in addition, I found that many of these young people are good at bow hunting, and they can also select a hundred people to form a bow and arrow brigade to strengthen the armed forces of the territory!"

Donald listened and said with surprise:

"Well done! Thirty-seven people will be in charge of you, let them try to train with the garrison!"

"As for the matter of the bow brigade......"

Donald pondered for a moment and then said: "This number has exceeded the rules of the kingdom, so it cannot be collected openly, this matter William will leave to you, let them form their own hunting teams in the name of the two villages, and usually conduct bow hunting training, the cost is paid by the territory, and I will find a way to solve their bows and arrows and equipment." ”

William and Uther immediately took the order. Donald ordered people to go to the territory warehouse to fetch a batch of high-quality timber and iron ore, and then exchange weapons and equipment for these new members of the territory's armed forces.

Warriors generally used infantry swords, and leather armor was relatively easy to make, so Donald did not exchange it in the Book of Truth, but ordered a batch from outside.

In addition to their regular weapons such as elven longbows and malignets, Donald traded them for crossbows used by mobs such as Gnoll Assassins and Centaur Hunters. Because the hand crossbow is small, easy to operate, and powerful, and does not require the precision of the elven longbow, Donald plans to equip all soldiers in the territory with this crossbow in the future, which can greatly increase the lethality of the territory army.

In the next half month, it was time for Dalaran to lead the mobilization.

The commoners devoted themselves to their own work, most of the children found their way in life, forty-one of them became future warriors and mages, and one hundred were selected to form the bow hunting team, and the remaining nearly two hundred were also added to the various trades of the territory, becoming apprentices or helpers, and there was a way to support their families in the future.

This situation made the parents of all the children very satisfied, especially the four families with mage talents, who suddenly became the masters of the territory, not only were the children sent to the lord's mansion to study, but the families from two villages were also given houses to them by the lord in the town, which was simply a step to the sky.

Regarding the education of these four mage apprentices, Donald simply gathered the three black iron mages together and discussed them.

"Three mages, you can probably guess what Donald meant by calling you over, yes, I want to invite three of them to become the personal mages of our Merlinna family. ”

A private mage sounds good, but in fact he is a subordinate mage of the noble, equivalent to a subordinate knight, with a higher status than other subordinates, and relatively free, but it has already belonged to the nobleman, and the advantage of being a free mage is that he can get a certain amount of financial and power support.

Donald had consulted with his teacher in advance, and knew that these three were all stubborn and hard-tempered, otherwise he would not have stayed in the clubhouse at a young age and studied tirelessly, and would have sold himself to those aristocratic forces like most mages whose cultivation has stagnated.

Such people deserve to be recruited by Donald, because once they have made up their minds, they are more able to guarantee loyalty than ordinary people.
