After getting the life evolution potion, Richard immediately gave it to William.

After William asked the officer's internal pharmacist to identify it, after confirming that there was no problem, he immediately took a period of leave and took the life evolution potion at home to prepare for advancement.

He had broken through the Sixth Order for many years and had accumulated a wealth of experience.

It didn't take long for the potion to successfully break through to the seventh order.

As an advanced senior professional, William's status within the Northern Legion has risen a bit.

Within the Northern Legion, there are only eight high-level professionals, except for the captain of the knight brigade and the captain of the first brigade, they are all commanders of the legion headquarters.

Now that William has been promoted to a high-ranking professional, he should have been promoted to a high-ranking officer at the Legion Headquarters.

But now there is no vacancy in the position of the Northern Legion, and the only one who is not a high-ranking professional is still William's old superior and old commander. Moreover, Teng Wei Saman also broke through to the sixth-order knight some time ago, and his real combat power was a little stronger than William's.

William consulted with the new Legion Commander, Zachary, and decided not to take up his post at the Legion headquarters. Instead, like the captain of the first brigade, he continued to work below.

Just after Christmas, William was promoted to the rank and transferred to the 3rd Brigade as a captain.

The rank has been promoted to major general, and when you zoom in to the entire Grant Kingdom, they are all heavyweight officers.

The Grant Kingdom counted the armies of the noble lords, adding up to more than thirty legions, and counting the reserve officers who retired from active service and commanded the noble private army, the major generals added up to no more than two hundred.

As an ordinary person of civilian origin, his development in the military has reached its peak. Even if you are promoted to a ninth-order professional, it will be difficult to be promoted in the future.

For ordinary people and low-level nobles, the rank of major general and deputy commander are the ceiling that cannot be seen or touched.

The commander of the main legion must be inextricably linked to the royal family.

The previous Earl of Martins, although he was a minor nobleman in the north, had also worked in the royal capital guard for more than ten years, serving as a guard for a period of time, and he was responsible for protecting Prince Charles, who had not yet become the king, and was the ironcore of the current king.

This legion commander, Zackery, has a richer resume, serving as the commander of the second-line corps and serving as King Charles's adjutant.

Unless you can break through the realm and be promoted to a legendary professional, you can become a great nobleman and break through this ceiling.

After Willian advanced, the influence of the Haaland family increased a bit.

At Christmas, Powell and Uncle Bernie's children came to Fort William.

Sophia used the crystal ball to test their talents, and only the second uncle's eldest son, Adrian, reached four points of mental power.

But his elemental affinity is very average, although it's a pity to learn magic, I'm afraid it hasn't developed very well.

Even if you are diligent all your life, it is estimated that it will be difficult to break through to the fourth ring.

Adrian was a year younger than Richard and would be twenty years old by Christmas. Breaking through the high-level warrior cadet last fall, the warrior talent is about the same as Hayden, which is considered to be above average, better than the eldest brother Ron.

Now that a magical talent has been detected, his energy must be shared with the realm of magic.

Whether he likes magic or not, the Haraland family is desperately lacking in magical powers.

As a member of the aristocratic family, you must sacrifice your hobbies, even freedom, and marriage when necessary, to contribute to the family.

Adrian has graduated from the Knight Academy and is preparing to join the Legion of the Wild Lions as a junior officer.

Now that he has a magical talent, it is impossible for his family to let him join the army.

After Christmas, he will learn meditation and temporarily join the first squadron as a junior officer.

After obtaining the Breathing Method of the Wild Lion Legion, Richard quickly completed his advancement.

This time the warrior advanced, he did not choose to add killing experience.

Three months ago, Richard was not far from advancing to the warrior level, only 2,400 experience points away.

For three months, he continued to practice the breathing method, and as early as November, he had completed his experience.

After getting the follow-up breathing method, Richard did not take any potions, and was successfully promoted to the fourth order.

After being promoted to the fourth rank, Richard's stats panel changed.

Strength is increased by 3, agility is increased by 0.2, stamina is increased by 0.3, and mental power is also increased by 0.3.

In addition, in three months, Richard also learned a second-ring magic defense arrow.

Richard is a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts, a fourth-order warrior and a four-ring magician, and his real combat power may be stronger than his father William.

The strength of the Haaland family has grown tremendously in the past year.

After Richard married Sophia, he took possession of three baronies, although nominally divided into three people, and had not yet been merged. William was an officer in the Northern Legion, Sophia was preoccupied with magic, and Richard was actually in charge of everything.

This year, according to the schedule, the construction of Sophia Castle was completed in the summer, and the construction of Iron Mountain Fort also began.

Powell knocked on the door and heard Richard's promise before entering the room.

The room is covered with thick curtains, which are only opened at noon when the light shines in to let in the windows to let in air.

Although it was already Christmas, it was still winter, and the thick hides were still hanging from the windows.

The territory cannot produce large pieces of clear glass, and it can only be kept warm in winter.

Although the fireplace is burning and the sun is not visible for a long time, the house is still a little shady and often has some mildew.

"Uncle Powell, I bought some elf black tea at Blackriver Fort before Christmas, sit down and taste it."

Richard poured Powell a cup of elf tea.

The Dawn Continent also has the habit of drinking tea, but the tea trees in this world are a little different from what Richard had seen in his previous life.

Having lived in the Kingdom of Grant for many years, Richard had only seen one type of black tea.

This black tea is also a first-order magic plant, and the taste is very rich, some bitter, some sour, and some sweet.

Drinking this tea regularly can slightly boost mental strength and can also make people fall asleep quickly.

This black tea also has medicinal properties and can treat some diseases such as soul loss.

The first to pick this tea was the elves of the Eastern Continent, and later the elf black tea was successfully domesticated by magicians, transplanted in magic plantations, and only spread to the aristocratic circle in the last few hundred years.

Because it is a magic plant, the price of elf black tea is very high, and the price of one pound of elf black tea is eight gold coins.

Recently, Haaland's territory income has increased significantly, and Richard has only bought a few catties. It will also be supplied to Sophia, Wendy, and Adrian, and if the four magicians drink black tea every day, the annual consumption of gold will exceed 300 coins.

This expenditure is also a big burden for the Haaland family, and for the Haaland family, which is temporarily embarrassed.

However, drinking elf black tea often is good for magicians, even if they save in other aspects, the investment in black tea cannot be reduced.

The strength of the northern Xinjiang region is everything, as long as it can increase the strength of the family, it is worth investing resources.
