At today's food count, Duke thought that Nicole seemed to be there too, so he looked around and found that Nicole was leading a group of little witches, looking for the strongest seeds to lay the foundation for the next year's planting.

So Duke didn't call them over, but took the initiative to go to their side, wanting to see what Nicole and these little girls were doing on a daily basis.

"Leah, these ears of rice are the fullest, bring these to the laboratory to cultivate, the seeds need to be the strongest. ”

"Got it, Sister Nicole. ”

"Ruth, there are some seeds that seem to be a little different, see what the problem is, we have to find the problem as soon as possible, and it will be too late when we plant it next year. ”

"Well, I'll bring them back right away. ”

Listening to Nicole methodically directing the little witch to do things, Duke couldn't believe his eyes, is this still the little girl who even cowered when she talked to herself, I haven't seen her for almost half a year, and the growth of people is really fast.

As Duke's entourage gathered, Nicole noticed that something was wrong around her, and when she looked back, she saw that Duke was looking at her with a smile on his face. Suddenly seeing Duke's appearance, Nicole was stunned for a moment, she had thought about what would become of the lord when he came back many times, but she didn't expect to meet directly in this situation.

"Collar ...... Your Lordship. ”

Nicole stammered for a while, just like the girl who was afraid of life.

"Don't be nervous, didn't you arrange it quite well just now?Nicole, you did a better job than I expected, and I can say that the whole Stormcastle has to thank you!"

As soon as Nicole heard Duke say this, she immediately blushed and replied, "No, no, if it weren't for your guidance and help, my lord, I wouldn't have been able to make any magic seeds, all because of you." ”

Seeing Nicole's shy appearance, Duke thought of her previous appearance again, so he didn't say much, just smiled faintly, but at this time, Duke suddenly found a person standing in front of him, looking at him with an unkind face.

This person is none other than Rose, who is also a witch, and she doesn't know when she will also appear here. Duke was very surprised by Rose's expression, he hadn't seen her for more than half a year, so he shouldn't have provoked Rose in anything, if this little girl was willful, she would have to trouble herself, basically the current Storm Fortress defense can't be prevented, and the space magic is too weird.

"Rose, is there anything you can do?"

Duke asked curiously at this time.

"My lord, I have something to tell you, but I want to talk to you alone!"

Hearing Rose's request, Duke didn't think much about it, this stage is no longer the strange or hostile stage it used to be, and it is impossible for Rose to do anything to hurt herself. In addition, today's food data is almost counted, so Duke nodded and said, "Okay, talk to me on the way to the City Lord's Mansion." ”

Duke didn't let the officials follow, and the two storm guards let them return to camp on their own. The siege of Storm Castle is still very strict, and since Storm Castle is not completely open to the public, the people who come after are all in Storm New City, so even if Duke walks alone in the castle, he is not too worried about safety, not to mention that now that Rose is by his side, she can be described as the best bodyguard.

"Rose, there's something you can tell you straight. ”

"Well, my lord, I'm very unhappy with your decision, almost all the sisters have found their way to work, even Alice's illusion has entered the medical school for an internship, why are you ignoring me?"

"Ignoring you?"

Duke was a little helpless when he heard this, and he couldn't help but laugh and said: "How can I ignore you, if you want to enter the seed laboratory or medical school, just go in, as long as you meet the requirements, I believe they will not accept it." ”

"I don't want to go into either of these places, and that's not my interest!"

"And where do you want to go?"

"I wanted to join the Storm Guardian and become your personal bodyguard, but Guard Officer Dole rejected my request outright, not even mentioning the conditions. You know that my spatial magic is best suited to protect you, why can't you make me a storm guardian, I have already shown my abilities when I detected the Night Elf assassination!"

When he heard Rose's words, Duke suddenly realized that Rose wanted to enter the Storm Army and become a member of the Storm Guard. In fact, if you think about it seriously, Rose's talent is indeed very suitable for becoming a storm guardian, not only because of her spatial movement, but because Rose is extremely sensitive to spatial fluctuations, and it can almost be said that no one can break into her realm.

"Why did Dole refuse your request?"

Duke asked in confusion, as Dole had never mentioned it to him, so he had no idea that Rose wanted to be a storm guard.

"He said that I am a woman, the Storm Army does not need women, and the war is also to let women go away, Dole still said that this is what you meant, and he didn't even give me a chance to prove it!"

When Rose said this, there was still a look of hatred on her face, she had long wanted to ask Duke for personal inquiry, but Duke's expedition was more than half a year later.

When he heard this, Duke fully understood what was going on, and why Rose was so indignant. It is true that the Storm Army has no precedent for recruiting female soldiers at present, and even Duke does not plan to recruit any female soldiers in the future. The equality of men and women in later generations, this kind of political correctness, at least in the Middle Ages, did not exist.

Duke respects women and treats all women equally in terms of law and rights. But Duke believes that people should be in their own more suitable positions, and women are far inferior to men in the post of war, and there is no need to let female soldiers in for the sake of so-called political correctness. If Storm Castle becomes more powerful in the future, Duke can consider developing a female literary army. As for the front-line battlefield, Duke never thinks about female soldiers.

And the phrase that the war makes women go away is indeed what Duke said to Princess Gina at the beginning, and this sentence has slowly spread, inspiring the male warriors of Storm Castle to use their own blood to guard Storm Castle and women and children. I just didn't expect Dole to use this sentence in this regard.
