Chapter 39: Granted to a subordinate to inspect the construction of the castle

"My lord, is this the seven-color flower of life?"

After Baird saw the contents of the box, he was so surprised that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.

Except for Orlando and Hebrews, the other eleven people also looked shocked. Their hearts were beating fast as they looked at the strangely glowing flowers in the box.

When they were training at Windsor Castle, they were fortunate enough to listen to their instructor explain it.

This magical plant that only existed in rumors actually appeared in front of him, which was simply incredible.

"Yes, this is the seven-color flower of life."

Verin nodded in confirmation while expressing his fighting spirit, showing the ironclad evidence that he was a Silver Knight.

This move shocked the twelve members of Baird even more.

One day ago, the Lord was a high-ranking bronze knight, and now he has become a low-ranking silver knight. Moreover, the knight he senses is not as disordered as he was when he first entered silver, and his fighting spirit is very stable.

"Today, each of you will get a seven-color life flower to improve your talents and your own strength."

Hearing this, everyone burst into tears of gratitude and immediately knelt on the ground: "Thank you, Lord, for your gift."

"I will not hesitate to train knights who are loyal to me. Your loyalty is the best reward for me."

Afterwards, Verin called each knight to his side, gave them the seven-color flower of life one by one, and gave them blessings.

After all fourteen people got a seven-color flower of life, Weilin looked at the excited people and immediately announced the disbandment of the meeting and asked them to go back and take it to break through their talents and improve their strength.

After everyone left, Weilin looked at the eight seven-color life flowers left in the box and fell into deep thought.

"It's better to store it."

He made up his mind that regardless of whether he had cultivation talent or not, as long as he proved his loyalty and worth, he would get a seven-color flower of life from him.

In the next few days, after taking the seven-color life flower, the twelve knights headed by Baird successively achieved breakthroughs and grew into silver knights.

Judging by quantity alone, at the baron level, the number of silver knights in the Lake of Prayer Stars can be ranked among the top three in Cardro Province.

As a result, the combat power of the entire territory directly fell apart.

"No, there's not a single bronze-level person in the territory. It's not good to go on like this."

Subsequently, Verin issued an announcement as a lord, allowing Baird and other twelve people to recruit knights and attendants. The number should not exceed six people, and the corresponding resource rations would be borne by him.

Now, it is impossible for Verin to gather thousands of knight attendants and be taught by specialized silver knights like Windsor Castle.

On the one hand, he does not have the talent in this area, and on the other hand, he does not have the resources to support him in doing so.

Therefore, we can only rely on this ancient inheritance system to slowly cultivate Bronze Knights in a one-area-multiple model.

In order to stimulate their enthusiasm, Verin also issued an announcement that within one year, the more Bronze Knights a knight trained, the better the quality, and he would be rewarded with a magic plant.

Therefore, Baird and others began to select good seedlings throughout the territory and recruit knights and attendants.

In a short period of time, everyone in the entire territory was excited. Whether they were free people or serfs, whether they were soldiers or civilians, everyone had a dream of becoming a knight.

In the Lake of Praying Stars, slave shackles can be lifted. As long as you become a knight's attendant, you will become a free body, which further stimulates the young serfs.

Of course, there would be no hope in existing as a third-class slave like a robber slave.

The population of the Lake of Praying Stars is very healthy, with most of them between the ages of fifteen and twenty. This is due to the emphasis that Verin put on him when he asked for ransom from the defeated nobles.

As the territory entered a stage of rapid development, Baird led his troops to patrol the surrounding areas all day long, hunting down the wild beasts and monsters that wandered here, and maintaining the safety of the surrounding area.

Andrew was stationed at the salt mine, leading a squadron of infantry, supervising the third-class slaves to mine, and ensuring the production of salt every day.

Randolph took over Baird's task and led two squadrons of infantry, one squadron of archers and three hundred serfs to mine the mithril mine conscientiously, striving to complete the excavation in the shortest possible time to avoid accidents.

Greg organized the free people and serfs in the territory to carry out collection work in batches, collecting food within a ten-kilometer radius of the Lake of Prayer for the Stars, implementing the policy of leaving no roots on grass, no bark on trees, and clearing out the wilderness with strong walls.

The remaining eight knights have their own tasks and are responsible for all aspects of the territory to ensure the normal operation of the Lake of Praying Stars.

On this day, after Weilin finished his rest, he felt that his strength had been significantly improved again. He couldn't help but sigh once again that after his talent improvement, he could practice with twice the result with half the effort.

"Sir, the person in charge of the castle construction, Chief Eunice, please come over."

"Okay, I see."

After the reporting soldiers retreated, Verin began to wipe the sweat off his body, put on his coat, picked up his sword, and headed to the castle construction site.

Along the way, Weilin felt very relieved when he saw the clean and tidy roads. There were no streets covered with feces and urine like in other territories, and the smell was all over the sky.

"Sure enough, solving health problems at their root causes will yield great results."

As the saying goes, if you can't solve the health problem, can't you also solve the people who create the health problem?

In the Lake of Prayer for Stars, anyone who urinates or dumps excrement in the open will be rewarded with three iron whips for the first time, confiscated property for the second time, and demoted to a third-class slave for the third time, forever losing the hope of becoming a free citizen.

After this decree was promulgated, no one dared to violate it.

They were all born slaves, so they naturally knew that the days when they lost their freedom and hope were painful and tortured, and they were in darkness.

After a distance of several hundred meters, Verin arrived at the castle construction site.

What comes into view are two city walls with staggered heights, namely the outer city wall and the inner city wall. A crossbow is being placed on the protruding boss to adjust the shooting angle.

The half-elf girl Eunice who was waiting at the city gate saw Verin arriving and stepped forward to salute: "Lord."

"Well, Eunice, you did a good job, and you completed the construction of two city walls so quickly." Weilin withdrew his gaze, looked at the beautiful half-elf girl in front of him, and praised him without hesitation.

"Lord, I'm overrated. I'm just a general manager. It's these hard-working workers who really contribute." After a period of adaptation, the half-elf girl Eunice was no longer alienated as before, with a calm tone in her voice.

"They will get the rewards they deserve." Weilin heard this and said with a smile, "I want to know now, how is the progress?"

Hearing this, Eunice asked someone to bring a table and unfold the plan, which was marked with two colors.

"Please see, my lord, the black mark represents completed construction, the white mark represents unfinished construction, and the green mark represents under construction."

Weilin looked down and saw that the first phase of the previously determined construction plan, the outer city wall, the inner city wall, the external water storage area, the grain warehouse and the toilet had all been completed, and the weapons repair site and stables were under construction.
