Chapter 45: The Lords Have a Red Talent Too
"Are you alright, you can't die, right?"
Old Ivan looked at Eugene, whose face was distorted from time to time because of the pain, and his tone was full of mockery.
"It's a shame for a person who has been a first-order professional for many years to be beaten like this by a hairy boy who hasn't been a professional for a long time just now."
Eugene was half-lying on the bed, gave old Ivan a blank look, and said angrily.
"Humph! That kid's strength is not good, but there are a few magic scrolls in his hand that are very powerful, and I accidentally suffered a little loss. That's it, don't I kill each other too? β
Old Ivan smiled, and the wrinkles on his face bloomed at this moment. "It's worthy of being the former deputy captain of the guard in Tilling Town, it's amazing."
"Get out!" Eugene sat up straight, but he pulled the wound on his body, and he grinned in pain. "It's not appropriate for a former butler of yours to mock me.
What do you think? Done with it? β
"Hmm." Old Ivan put away his smile and said with a ruthless look on his face. "Kill them all, we don't have a choice, since we have chosen to join the new lord, this kind of thing must be done by us."
"Ahh I hope that no one knows what happened here, otherwise the news of the slaughter of the nobles' relatives will spread, and you and I will not be able to withstand the punishment of the kingdom's laws.
Now, it's really a road to the dark. β
"Huh." Old Ivan smiled disdainfully, and his tone was a little calm. "Do you think this kind of thing happens less often in all parts of the kingdom? Tell you, actually, every day. It's just that the nobles do these things privately in order to flaunt the so-called aristocratic demeanor, and the so-called aristocratic demeanor only exists in the parity or the forgiveness of the strong over the weak.
Do you think that there are so many bandits who are so bold as to attack the nobles?
Those bandits may be the private soldiers of some nobleman.
So, you can relax. β
"That's not what I'm worried about." Eugene shook his head, as the captain of the baron's family, old Ivan as a housekeeper could hear about the rumors, he naturally heard about it.
"What I'm worried about is whether our new lord will be able to withstand the Hart family's counterattack on Tilin Town!"
"Counterattack?" Old Ivan smiled, looking very relaxed. "Behind the new lord, there is the full support of Earl Wright. Moreover, his strength should be stronger than that of the Hart family. β
"You look confident." Eugene said helplessly. "But Count Wright's army will soon return to Trois-Rivières City, and although the lord's personal strength is strong, his subordinates are all recruits, which is not as good as the elite of our guards.
Besides, the Hart family knows the news that the territory is gone, and they will definitely contact the nobles they have befriended to send troops together.
If you don't know if the lord can run away with his own strength, we'll suffer. β
"Do you have a choice?" When Old Ivan heard this, he couldn't help but mock. "Why don't you try to turn against you and see if the Hart family will forgive you and not use you as a scapegoat for the tragedy at Spu Castle?"
Old Ivan is a little different from Eugene, not to mention that his daughter died at the hands of the Hart family with unforgettable hatred, just his son Ivan Jr. led the way for Claire, doomed the Van Hart family to succeed in the counterattack, and he could not have a good end.
As for Eugene, although the initial surrender was a last resort, but now he has led troops to attack other baronies and killed his relatives, and now there is no hope of getting off the ship, but it is not very big.
"I hope the new lord can survive it, and I'm still counting on getting a knighthood." Eugene sighed and prayed for Claire.
"Take care of your wounds." Old Ivan pursed his lips and said disgustedly. "Instead of praying here, you should make some merit on the battlefield when the time comes, and maybe your knighthood will be settled."
"Eh, you old man didn't talk to me like that before."
"You think you're still the captain of the guard?"
"It's too powerful."
......
Claire looked at the long queue in front of her, and then at the three people standing behind Bella now, and her heart was full of joy.
Only then did we test more than a thousand people, and we picked out three lords with magical talents, which is really good. Although the talent is not too strong, just blue and green talents, for now, it is completely sufficient.
In fact, there are far more spiritual people with magical talents, but if they are more than twenty years old and their talents are not above purple, the value of cultivation is not high.
Although there are many magicians who are late bloomers, many people have always maintained the learning of magical knowledge, and the profession of magician requires not only talent, but also the accumulation of knowledge.
These agricultural guides are basically illiterate, and they have no knowledge accumulation at all, and when they are taught to read and then teach magic, the cost of training will be too high.
For those over twenty years old with magical talents, Claire asked little Ivan to write down his name and keep him as a member of the first "literacy class", and when he was basically literate, he would write a textbook on magic practice and throw it to them, leaving him to fend for himself.
After all, the ultimate value of such a person is not even comparable to those citizens who could not practice magic in their previous lives, after all, although people cannot use magic on their own, they are familiar with the knowledge of magic.
Of course, it is not excluded that there will be missing talents, but it doesn't matter, real talents can become talents sooner or later with the help of cultivation textbooks, anyway, he gave the other party the opportunity to embark on the path of magic career, and it is not too late to be incorporated when the time comes.
As time passed, most of the people standing in the testing crowd had passed, and there were already more than twenty young leaders standing behind Bella, but the smile on Claire's face gradually disappeared.
Although there are many more people with magical talents than he imagined, there are really no people with excellent talents, not even a person with purple talents.
After all, the town of Tilin will often ask magicians to "fertilize" the land, and these magicians may not be aware of people with average talents, but they will never be invisible to people with strong talents.
Perhaps, people who really have excellent talents have already been taken away by those magicians and become magic apprentices.
Just when Claire felt a little bored and was about to find an excuse to slip away, the magic energy detection device suddenly bloomed with a burst of red light, which made Claire sober up instantly.
Not only Claire, but also the people who witnessed this scene were in an uproar.
"Red talent? Gosh, am I not mistaken? β
"Can a hunter have such talent?"
β......β
Claire and the rest of the mercenary group also stared at the man closely.
"This man must be in his thirties, it's a pity."
