In the evening of the same day, the news of the recruitment of guards by the Night Manor was quickly announced in the only tavern in Red Maple Town.

The name of the Night Manor is very loud in the North County, whether it is the moonshine wine it produces, or the rumors of the powerful mage of the manor's owner, these civilian adventurers are talking about it.

Now this manor not only recruits external guards, but also pays well, which makes some adventurers who have a difficult life very excited, and even some adventurers who have a certain reputation and strength in the surrounding adventurer circle are also interested.

For the common class, the nobility is a difficult existence to climb, and the existence of the same nobles and mages is something that they have not been in contact with, which may be a good opportunity.

So the next morning, the gate of the manor was surrounded by a group of adventurers.

There were about forty or fifty of these adventurers, all of whom were of varying strength and dressed in different ways, some of them deliberately dressed politely, like a wealthy merchant squire than an adventurer, and some of them were unkempt like beggars. In addition to the local adventurers and hunters of Red Maple Town, there are even those who have come from Boulder City.

Out of prudence, Donald personally conducted an interview with the butler.

"Adventurers, my master, Master Donald Melinner, will personally preside over the selection of the guards, please don't make any noise, and follow me!"

Under the leadership of the housekeeper, dozens of people entered this beautiful and rich manor together. Well-planned farms, pastures and farmlands, as well as villas under construction but with exquisite silhouettes, all make this group of civilian adventurers envious and yearning.

The selection took place on the square that had been laid in front of the villa but had been destroyed in half.

This small square is planned to be paved entirely of hard, flat stone, and can accommodate thousands of people to stand, so that forty or fifty adventurers standing here does not look crowded at all.

Donald, the owner of the manor, sat on a tall wooden chair and watched these people quietly, without saying a word.

In fact, Donald was using the mental power he could exert after becoming a full-fledged mage to form a coercion to test these adventurers.

Although the strength of his Black Iron Mage's spiritual power is limited, he can only be dispersed around his body for about twenty meters, and no matter how far it is, it will exceed his limit. And his ability is not enough to cause any powerful oppression to dozens of people, but it can affect the hearts of some people who are not strong-willed.

Just two minutes have passed, and among the adventurers who have been shrouded in Donald's mental power, some of them have ghosts in their hearts or are too timid and cowardly.

At this time, Donald stopped his mental strength, pointed out one after another, called out more than a dozen adventurers who had just shown strange appearances, and ordered the housekeeper to send them out of the manor.

Whether there is a ghost in the heart or the willpower is too weak, people in these two situations are not suitable to be their own guards.

As for the rest, there will definitely be spies sent by the forces that are keen on their own industry, but Donald has a way of telling.

After the mind communicates with the tree of life, Donald seems to enter a perspective full of green. In this world, there are points of light, and these points of light are not the same color, and Donald can clearly feel that each point of light corresponds to the position of a creature.

This is the ability of the Tree of Life to combine with the laws of this world, relying on the natural enchantment, all creatures that enter the range of the enchantment will automatically distinguish between friend and foe according to the psychological intentions emitted by the opponent's mental fluctuations. Although it is not omnipotent, according to the Book of Truth, it is estimated that creatures below level 9 can test the effect if there is no special way to hide mental fluctuations.

This ability is similar to the vision range of units in Warcraft, which can be found in both mob and building units in the game, and items such as Sentry Guards can be used outside of the base.

In the field of vision, the red dots of light represent hostility, the white dots of light represent strangeness, hostility or neutrality, the yellow dots of light represent friendliness, the green dots represent one's side, and the only golden dot of light is Donald himself.

Seven of the remaining adventurers were glowing reddish, indicating that they had come with bad intentions and had some ill intentions towards the manor. These must be spies that some forces are preparing to insert.

Most of the rest are white neutral, or yellowish with some goodwill presence, and the only crimson spot of light in it catches Donald's attention.

In the end, Donald left behind ten men who had good intentions for him, had innocent family backgrounds, and seemed to be loyal and honest, and decided on the selection of the manor guard. As for the hostile spy, he was left alone by Donald and temporarily placed in the farm room to await his summons.

After the other unsuccessful people left, Donald said to the ten people: "From this day on, you are the guards of my manor, and the basic cost of three silver coins a month is not too little, because I will provide you with a full set of excellent equipment and some basic training, which will cost you a lot, and you can also bring your family to settle in the manor, and the house will be built for you by me." There are still a lot of jobs on the estate that need to be manpowered, which can also add a little income to your family. ”

The ten guards were overjoyed when they heard this, but then Donald said in a majestic tone:

"If you want to get such treatment, you naturally have to pay, what I want is just your loyalty, if you can't even do this, then take advantage of it now, after today, you will have to work for me honestly." As a nobleman, I am merciful, but you cannot afford to betray a mage!"

Compared with the noble lord, the deterrent power of the profession of mage, who has been almost deified by ordinary civilians, is obviously greater. Donald's intimidation made the ten chosen guards tremble, and the heat in their hearts subsided a lot, and after humbly and respectfully saluting the owner of the manor, he went to the residence built for them on the side of the manor under the guidance of the butler.

"The guard's problem is solved, it's time to go see that guy!"

Donald muttered to himself, a smile on his lips, and went to the room where the adventurer was housed.

The guy who had been arranged here alone, disguised as an adventurer, had been worried all along, and when he saw the owner of the manor suddenly open the door and enter, he hurriedly stepped forward to meet him.

Coming to the room and sitting down, Donald said casually, "Okay! no need to act, tell me the purpose of your infiltration of my manor!"

Hearing this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and he didn't know how he could have been exposed, and then immediately smiled and said:

"Master Mage, you're kidding! the villain doesn't quite understand!"

Donald looked at the man with a smirk and spat out softly.

"Presumably, the one behind you is very dissatisfied with me!"

Although it is an understatement, it is like a sledgehammer, hammering on this person's soul word by word. The other party behaved as if he knew everything about himself, which made him no longer plan to continue to disguise, and was ready to abandon the mission and escape from the manor. As Donald spoke, he began to step back towards the door.

"I advise you not to act rashly, as soon as you try to escape, my lovely minion will have to make you breakfast!"

When the man heard this, he didn't have time to think about it, when he noticed a flash of light beside him, and a monster with a fierce eye like a beast and a foul smell all over his body, like a skinned corpse, appeared beside him. He could feel the bloody stench blowing from the other party's mouth so close that he could feel it.

He had no doubt that with the slightest movement, this monster full of sharp teeth and scarlet bone claws would tear apart his body in an instant, which couldn't help but make his neck feel cold.
