The hazy mist fluttered down on each water demon plant, subtly changing their growth rate.

Leiter sniffed the faint fragrance in the air, and watched the Demon Plant Cultivation Field grow again, and there was a faint sense of fullness in his heart.

His gaze followed Nina's movements.

Suddenly, watching Nina cast an ice mist on each demon plant again, he suddenly thought:

"Since Nina has grown up since she woke up this year, and her body has become slightly larger, does it mean that her abilities will also increase? Will the promotion of water-based demonic plants and water-based demonic beasts also be improved? ”

As soon as this question emerged, Leiter squinted slightly, turned around on the ice crystal lily bush beside him, and leaned out his spiritual power to feel it carefully.

After a while, Leiter shook his head and said secretly: "Well, I can't see anything for the time being. Possible... Nina's size has only grown slightly, and even if her ability increases, the change will not be significant.

After waiting for a while, observe the growth rate of these demon plants, and the results will be known!

If it can be proven that this trend exists, it will be significant! Rett let out a long breath, a gleam in his eyes. Staring at Nina, hoping that time would surprise him.

Having completed the task of blessing the water plant, Nina flew leisurely through the air.

Suddenly, it saw Henk standing quietly in place, and froze for a moment.

At this time.

After standing in place for more than ten minutes, a layer of snow drifted on Henk's smooth head.

The top half of his skull also resembles a small snowball.

Nina's eyes were full of doubt, and she floated towards Henk, who happened to float to the side of Henk, her head swaying from side to side, as if she was comparing whose head was bigger.

？？？

A moment later, Henk blinked, understood all this, and laughed dumbly.

Just now, he took into account what Nina had just done, and witnessed the way the snow elves accelerated the water system demon plant, which was incredible.

Looking at the childlike snow elves, Henk, whose wish was fulfilled, sighed: "It's amazing! In this world, there are indeed many mysteries that we don't know......

We are like a fool who cannot get a glimpse of the whole world. ”

These words were quite philosophical, and Leiter nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice:

"The world is full of mysteries, but more than mysteries is the human desire to explore.

With a positive mindset, sooner or later, we will turn ignorance into knowledge. ”

Henk's eyes lit up, and after hearing this insight, he nodded thoughtfully, "I firmly believe that I know, what the lord said is right!" ”

......

The winter night swallowed up the light, and the cold wind roared like a devil.

This snow is getting bigger and bigger, vaguely the scale of last year, when Leuter first returned.

The entire Eagle Town was covered with a thick layer of silver frost.

Leiter didn't mean to stop the snow with the help of Ruilai's snow spirit.

The weather outside is similar to last year, but he is no longer the seriously ill person he was when he first came back last year.

The halls of the Deep Rock Fort were warm and bright.

In the warm fire, a small pile of fire pattern ore, instead of the firewood used before, burned a scorching flame, and baked the whole hall hot.

The warm current surrounds everyone, and the firelight reflects on everyone's faces, shining a smile of joy and joy.

In anticipation of the return of Leiter, the castle hosted a sumptuous dinner tonight.

Chef Malu pushed the dining cart, walked out of the kitchen, glanced at the butler with a smile, and then put the plates on the long dining table, uncovered the lids, and said with a gentle smile: "Lord Lord, please use it slowly, I'll prepare some desserts after dinner." ”

"Thank you, Chef Maru, you can make less dessert, today's dishes are too rich."

"No problem, my lord."

Sveta poured the wine that had been awake for an hour into Reiter's crystal goblet, and then stood still on the right side behind Reiter.

Reiter pinched the foot of the bottle, shook it gently, watched the black-red liquid swirl in the cup, and said softly, "Sveta, I have something to tell you." ”

"What's the matter? Sir, please speak. "Sveta has come to the spirit, he hasn't heard it for three months, the lord has assigned him a task!

"Actually, I told you at noon today. Now let's talk about it in detail, and then I'm going to implement a normalized system of talent testing in a small town.

In the past, the population of the town was small, so there was no need for this, but I heard today that the population of Eagle Town and Huokuang Village is now almost a thousand people, and this trend continues. ”

Speaking of this, Leiter looked at Ruilai again: "Ruilai, from tomorrow, the census of the population of the town must be implemented to every person and every family unit, and their information will be truthfully registered." Nowadays, the population is increasing, and if you don't do it, sooner or later there will be hidden dangers. ”

Ruilai listened to his father's words, and when he heard his father call him, he turned sideways and said, "Understand, father." I will arrange credible personnel to conduct a census of the existing population first, and register the information of the population that will flow in later.

Also, does the normalization of talent testing you just mentioned mean that people who are 12 years old or older need to take the initiative to get tested? ”

Leiter smiled slightly, looked at Ruilai, and said that he was worthy of being his smartest son, and said:

"Yes, the promulgation of this system will be handed over to you. It's best to start the census tomorrow, and then start the talent test after the census is over.

The census can be a bit of a hassle at first, so I've asked Sveta to assist you. ”

"Father, wrap it up on me!" Rely should be down.

"I will do my best to assist Young Master Ruilai." Sveta replied respectfully.

Lei Ting nodded and said, "Remember, in the process of the census, we must ensure that it is true and correct, and we must not deceive it.

If some ruffians come in, just drive them away, and these people are not welcome in my territory. ”

Thinking that the spy in Windmill Town, Zolan, had already mixed in with this group of outcasts, Leiter couldn't say it directly, so he deliberately emphasized it to ensure authenticity.

Ruilai's expression froze slightly, and he said, "Understood, father." ”

Wow

Thales, dressed in a black gown, stepped down the stairs. Mina, dressed in a long white dress, put her arm around Thales' shoulders, and the two walked side by side.

"Good evening, Father." Thales was full of spring, and when he returned, he stayed in his room for the afternoon.

"Thales, come here, I've got something for you." Leiter took a sip of red wine, the taste was not very beautiful, of course it was not the problem of the wine, it was that he did not like the taste of red wine.

But at the banquet he needs to drink a few glasses symbolically.

Mina sat next to Krina and Vanessa, three delicately dressed and beautiful women, who became a beautiful scenery in the hall.

Thales came to Ret's side, flashed his curious gaze, leaned down and asked, "Father, what are you going to give me?" ”

Rett lifted the small bag on his waist, shook it in front of Thales, and said, "Here are six bottles of Moonlight Elixir, refined by Henk, and you and Ruilai will use three bottles of each of them."

Finally, hopefully you will become an apprentice magician soon. ”

"Wow! Thank you, Father, and thank you Henk! Thales' eyes were full of surprise, the moonlight potion that his father gave him last time had long since been consumed. Although he is now in a bottleneck period and cannot use the Moonlight Elixir, he has a hunch that he will soon be able to break through.

"Alright, sit down." Reiter patted Thales on the back, and the latter obediently returned to his place and sat down next to Relai.

Everyone had arrived, six people with twelve eyes, all looking in the direction of Leiter, consciously or unconsciously, as if they were waiting for the head of the family to speak.

Leiter took a light breath, cleared his throat, and said, "It's so nice for us to be able to sit together as a family in this bad weather.

Today... Nothing in particular to say. At the end of the year, I hope that our family will always be united.

Long live unity! "Raiter toast!

"Long live unity!" Everyone raised their glasses and shouted in unison.

"Babble... "Dick in Vanessa's arms shouted for some reason, his already white and tender skin shining in the light.

When everyone saw this, they all had smiles on their faces.

For today's dinner, spicy rabbit head, chicken stewed mushrooms, roast suckling pig, pan-fried steak, blueberry mashed potatoes, crispy leg of lamb, these are ordinary foods.

There are also sweet and sour bloody hoof wild boar meat, stewed giant horn mutton soup, stir-fried cold crystal tiger lung slices, etc., eight or nine dishes with Warcraft meat as the main ingredient.

The fragrance is pervasive, and it has long aroused the greed of a lot of people.

Tucker, in particular, drooled, his eyes scanning back and forth over each dish, hungry and thirsty like a hungry wolf.

Maybe it's because there are more and more people in the family, and Tucker also knows how to be restrained, and he is not as arrogant as he used to be.

It's just that the speed of eating is still a lot faster than everyone else.

Three months after parting, the family's long-lost reunion dinner was spent in laughter.

......

Three days later.

After this return, LTECH did not conduct the census and talent test at the same time as in the last simulation.

Instead, the census was selected first, and then the talent test was uniformly conducted.

Zoran was caught yesterday and interrogated. Just like in the simulation, it should be just a shadow of Windmill Town, a chess player. He was only instructed by Dusty, the eldest son of Viscount Gaspar, to come and hide, and did not have any other tasks.

Additional intelligence, nothing.

Rett doesn't plan to target Windmill Town right now, anyway, next year, going to the canyon defense, Viscount Gaspar will have the end of his life.

Now to rectify the other party, you have to find a way to avoid the kingdom's decrees, and there is no need to do one thankless thing.

Early that morning, in the hall on the fifth floor of the castle, Leiter listened quietly to Ruilai's report.

"Father, the results of the census are in. Although, as you say, there are a thousand people, but the data is also very close.

Counting the original lords, there are currently 913 people in Eagle Town and Huokuang Village, with 470 males and 446 females, with a balanced ratio of men and women.

Eighty-seven juveniles over the age of twelve. But there are still many teenagers over the age of 12 and under the age of 20, who have not had the opportunity to be tested for talent in the past, do they get involved too? Ruilai closed the thick notebook in his hand and asked.

Rett thought for a moment, nodded slowly, and said, "As long as you are not over twenty years old, you can all come in."

At present, the territory lacks guards, so it is normal to lower the threshold for the time being. ”

In this world, when the age is about twelve years old, the human body development has reached the threshold of cultivation. But that doesn't mean that after the age of twelve, you can't cultivate.

Whether it is a knight or a magician, as long as you have talent, it doesn't matter if you cultivate at any time, but it's a matter of whether you start sooner or later.

It's just that for a territory, if the recruited guards are too poor in talent and old, and then invest resources in training, it will not be worth it.

Therefore, those territories that have been in operation for several generations and have survived for a long time have long been stabilized with abundant escort forces. What is lacking is not quantity but quality, and only seedlings will be selected from twelve-year-old boys.

Of course, if there are special circumstances, such as excellent talent, as long as you are not too old, the threshold for acceptance will also be lowered.

Rules are dead, but people can be flexible, and the ultimate goal is still to raise the strength of the escort team.

The current Eagle Town is obviously understaffed with guards. In addition, the territory will also develop rapidly in the future, and the number of people needed will only increase.

Therefore, Reiter had to agree to join the Guardian for those who were not too old and had not tested their talents in the past.

"Understood, I've already remarked the information of these people, and I'll go and inform them now." Rylai said.

Knights' training ground.

The heavy snow has stopped for a day, but the snow on the ground is far from melting, causing the temperature outside to be extremely cold.

These people, who were notified that they were about to participate in the talent test, were extremely excited despite shivering and red faces.

Shireen and Relai stood in the middle of the training ground with serious faces.

Ahead, a total of two hundred and eighty-one people, lined up in a phalanx, stood in front of them, with a hint of longing in their eyes.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Ruilai raised his voice and said, "I will inform you to come over today, and I think you all know what you have to do."

Talent testing is about your future life path.

After the talent test is carried out, those who pass will join the Deep Rock Fortress and become the reserve of the lord's escort with honor.

Of course, there is no need to be discouraged if you don't have talent, you can still make your own contribution to the development of Eagle Town. ”

When the words fell, the teenagers and teenagers of nearly three hundred people looked even more excited!

The legendary supernatural powers, they had only heard from their parents, and now, they finally had the opportunity to get up close!

They want to be knights!

They want to be magicians!

Ruilai looked at everyone's expressions, as if he had guessed what was going on in his heart, and said calmly: "Let's talk about the process, standing next to me is Shirin, the head coach of the knight training ground, and the knight with the highest strength in our territory. She will guide you through the breathing method and test for your knightly talents!

The successful ones stay, the failed ones come to me, and I will teach you how to work meditation.

If you fail this time, it means that you have no chance at all! ”

............

2-in-1, long wait

The words of thanks are in the "Writer's Words".
