Chapter 55 Selection III
(Today's second shift!I'm too tired to fall asleep, but fortunately it's not past twelve o'clock, don't go away, there will be more in a while!)
This year was a good harvest in the village of Bahn, which was supposed to be a year of abundance, but unfortunately, as in previous years, the border garrison sent soldiers to inform the villages to take precautions, and the orcs were coming again.
Unlike previous years, this time several orc tribes invaded on a large scale, they didn't know how long the war would last, and there would definitely be a lot of scattered orcs crossing the mountains to rob their border villages. Therefore, several mountain village chiefs gathered together and decided to flee to the kingdom's territory for refuge.
Originally, Barn often wanted to leave the village and find a place to live in peace, and maybe there was a chance that he could make a fortune with his own skills. But he has always had a concern for the village in his heart, after all, it is a place where he has lived for half his life, everyone is so familiar, and this is the only place where he has the memory of his father. In the eyes of Barn, who was still a teenager, his father was a man like a sky, the biggest hunter in the world, until his father died under the claws of the demonic beast, this feeling became stronger and stronger, buried deep in his heart and took root. This is the biggest reason why Bahn has been living in the village all these years and has not left his two old houses.
This time, when he followed the large team north and waited for relief, Barn also thought about leaving the village team quietly several times, but he was always ruthless.
It was only then that the great noble mage appeared, bringing Bahn unwavering determination.
You must know that in the legends left by the era of the ancient magic empire, there are many powerful warriors who became followers of mages and finally established immortal deeds. Although he is only a servant of the mage now, with his strong force and hard work for a few years, he will inevitably stand out among the crowd.
And even the knight as powerful as the silver-armored knight is just a servant of the noble mage, and others can't see it, but Barn is not only the strongest among the outcasts, but his natural hunter talent is very sensitive to the strength of Warcraft and other strengths, as soon as Uther and Donald stand up, Barn felt great danger from them, which is not reached in the face of fifth-level Warcraft, which shows their strength.
What a rare opportunity for such a powerful existence to recruit servants among these outcasts? It is estimated that it will only appear when the power is newly created, and if you don't seize this opportunity, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
As for the village, there was not much concern for him for a long time.
So after Barn thought about the situation, he stood up as soon as possible.
With this first-class bird, many young people have come forward, accounting for almost one-third of the young and strong people in these villages.
This situation can make the older generation in power in these villages anxious. The young people are gone, how will they live in the village after the rest of the old and weak women and children?
Several old people from neighboring villages in their own village still want to speak out to redeem themselves.
"Barn, don't forget, your father is the hero of our village, and after he left, our family took care of you as a minor, if you leave like this, how can you be worthy of your father's teachings and the kindness of all of us to raise you?"
"Parenting grace? Tell me, apart from accepting the prey I hunted at the lowest price in exchange for some rice grain, what kind of nurturing grace do you old thing have for me? And you old guys, you bullied me when I was young and it was inconvenient to come forward, and now you still want to rely on me to feed you old foodies? I'm not the stupid son of your family, why do you want me to stay?"
Several old men who said this were annoyed and angry, and they all scolded Barne for being ungrateful, but the people in the village were like mirrors in their hearts, and they knew that they would not be able to keep Barn as a good hunter this time. Who made even the children of their own family want to leave the mountains one by one and get ahead!
But in this situation, they can't even eat enough, and they can't suppress the young man's bloody impulse at all, so they can only curse a few words secretly when they are powerless, hoping that the noble mage will be strict in his selection, and they will all be defeated.
Seeing that many of the young and middle-aged people in the mountain people decided to follow themselves into the town, and the displaced people who stayed in place were all worried about this side and had no intention of continuing to besiege the outside of the town, the mayor happily ordered the militia of the escort team to open the way.
"Hurry up, be careful, lift the wooden fence over and don't let people block the town gate again!"
Taking advantage of the fact that the mountain people had left so many at once, the town mayor commanded the militia to set up two temporary fences outside the town gate to block the crowd, and with the number of mountain people, it was impossible to block such an exit, so that the caravan travelers trapped inside and outside the town could finally enter and exit freely.
Watching several teams leave the town, the people from outside were also able to enter, and sure enough, there was not much hindrance, and the problem that had plagued him for several days was solved by the foreign nobleman, and the mayor himself was in a good mood to take these candidates back to the front of the house, and let the knights of the mage master choose one by one.
There are more than 300 homeless people who came to try it, all of whom are young people who think they have some ability and outstanding young adults.
"Your name is Barn!"
"Yes, Knight!"
The first person to be interviewed was the first hunter to come forward, Barn, and Uther's eyes could naturally see the strength of this hunter. After learning the basic situation of this person, he immediately reported it to his master, Donald.
After examining what Uther had said, Donald immediately decided to take him in.
You must know that this Barn's ability is much stronger than the first hunter Ed of Red Maple Town he met in the tavern, and the strength of a person who is close to the bronze rank and is about to comprehend the qi seed is not the slightest false, if his background is better, with this strength, it is not impossible to seek a knighthood.
Besides, the animal tamer is a profession handed down from ancient times, belonging to a small branch of the wild druid sect, itself is a profession that combines hunter skills with animal taming methods, although it is a non-spell casting profession, but it is well cultivated, and the strength is not inferior to that of a warrior of the same level after growing up.
It is very rare to find such excellent people among the mountain people, and Donald will not be stupid enough to let it go.
Next, after Uther's primary, Donald paid more attention to a young man named Tik, this young man's two firewood knives danced as flexibly as eight hands, and his body was even more vigorous, and he walked in the mountains all year round and jumped several feet high to play, just like the light skill of flying eaves and walking on the wall in martial arts movies in his previous life. Although he is still young, he is only sixteen years old, and his strength has not yet grown, but it is because of this age that his extraordinary talent is revealed.
The rest are a few young people who are strong and have good potential, probably at the level of a warrior in the middle of the Black Iron Rank, who were also selected by Uther to see that they are much stronger than the guards hired in his manor in terms of age and potential, Donald naturally will not object, and it is logical to accept these people and their families.
As for the literate calculators, he didn't find it, but Donald was not disappointed, after all, the mountain people were isolated from each other, and they were far less than ordinary people in villages and towns who could learn from working in shops.
What he needs to pay attention to now in his two manors is security, after all, it is close to the location of the Warcraft activity, the interior is fine, and the defense of the natural enchantment is also strong, but if the people in the manor go to the periphery, they are still likely to encounter wandering Warcraft. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the armed force.
In terms of financial management, there are not many problems with the butler and William in front of the two for the time being, so they are not very eager. And it's easy to find a manager who can settle accounts, and it's not so easy to meet subordinates with professional potential.
Eight men were chosen, twenty-six in all, along with their families, and Donald appointed Barn as the leader of the new servants, and then called the mayor of the town, took out a cloth bag and entrusted the mayor to arrange for them six carriages and horses, as well as enough food for these people to eat for five days, and the bag was his payment.
"Oh my God!"
The mayor picked up the heavy bag and gently opened it, revealing the gold coins inside. I couldn't help but have a look of surprise on my face.
There are at least a hundred gold soles, and even if the food in the town is relatively tight now, it will not cost half of the money to complete the mage's entrustment, and the rest will be a reward for him.
With hundreds of gold soles, the mayor of the town certainly does his best. Everything Donald needed was prepared that afternoon. He put all the food supplies into the storage space, and then got into the carriage with the newcomers with a little anxiety and longing, and the convoy headed north under the complicated eyes of many homeless people.
