Chapter 94 Rebuilding The Family Knights, National Qualification Test
The next day.
The residents of Meteor City only then discovered that the Audley family had been brutally wiped out.
Soon after,
news of this incident spread.
Everyone was shocked.
After all,
this was quite a powerful Count family!
They just disappeared?
No one knows who did it.
It's truly chilling.
However,
the nobles who had secretly infiltrated the Shadow Organization had their suspicions.
Since yesterday, the undercover agents sent by their own families to the Shadow Organization suddenly lost contact.
And today, the Audley Count family experienced such a tragedy.
The timing of these two events is too coincidental.
With a little bit of thought, one can come to the answer.
Clearly, that rumor is true.
The Shadow Organization is indeed supported by Duke Rennes behind the scenes.
And the Audley family most likely offended Duke Rennes because of the Shadow Organization.
That's why they suffered such a calamity.
Thinking of this,
those nobles who had sent undercover agents to the Shadow Organization were filled with dread, almost wetting their pants.
In order to prevent their own families from suffering the same fate as the Audley family,
these people immediately prepared gifts.
They went to the Habsburg family to apologize to Duke Rennes.
It must be said,
the effect of this plan to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys is very significant.
Regarding the arrival of these nobles,
Duke Rennes understood in his heart.
But on the surface, he pretended to be confused.
Otherwise,
wouldn't that be admitting that he was the one who did it to the Audley family?
After some pointless banter,
Duke Rennes reluctantly accepted the gifts of apology from these people.
The total value of this batch of gifts is approximately three million gold coins.
It more than makes up for the losses caused by the undercover agents.
It even doubled.
Seeing these people being so sensible, Duke Rennes couldn't hold onto this matter any longer.
The matter of the shadow organization has passed.
In the blink of an eye.
Another month has passed.
After being pregnant for more than nine months.
Leila, Murphy, and Charlene are about to give birth.
Seeing that another child is about to be born, Rennes is also filled with anticipation.
One week later.
Charlene was the first to be pushed into the delivery room.
More than ten minutes later, she gave birth to a chubby baby boy weighing seven pounds and six ounces.
However.
This child's aptitude is not very good.
His martial qi aptitude is average, and his magic aptitude is low, evaluated as bronze level by the system.
The rewards are also meager.
Only the most basic ten years of cultivation rewards were given.
Two days later.
Leila and Murphy also gave birth.
One boy and one girl.
【Detected the birth of the host's 79th child. The magic aptitude of this offspring is low, the martial qi aptitude is low, evaluated as black iron level, reward: one year of martial qi cultivation, strength attribute *3.
【Detected the birth of the 80th child of the host, with average magic aptitude and high fighting spirit aptitude, evaluated as silver level, reward: thirty years of fighting spirit cultivation, four-star meditation technique - Heart Lake Calm Water.】
One black iron level, one silver level.
There's nothing much to say about the system reward for the black iron level child.
It's the silver level child that stands out.
This wave of the system has given a good reward.
In addition to thirty years of fighting spirit cultivation, it also gave a four-star meditation technique.
Considered as a small treasure.
Taking a look.
Rennes discovered that this meditation technique called Heart Lake Calm Water is really good.
The difficulty of cultivation is not high.
After successful cultivation, the purity of the condensed magic power is much stronger than that of the same level meditation techniques, and it also has some effects on soul training.
It can help practitioners better control their emotions and reduce the probability of spell failure.
"As a magic textbook for low-level family academies, it's just right."
Rennes thought to himself.
Now there are textbooks for magic classes in low-level and mid-level family academies.
Only a high-level meditation technique of six stars or above is missing.
However.
It is very difficult to obtain such a level of meditation technique.
It can't be bought outside at all.
Mostly, it still relies on system rewards to obtain.
In this situation,
Being anxious is of no use.
In the next month,
While taking care of the postpartum recovery of Leila, Murphy, and Charlene, Rennes also focuses on the development of the aquatic industry.
Previously, the perfume was launched and became popular overnight.
After this period of fermentation, its reputation has spread beyond the Rhine region.
Even the surrounding areas, and even farther regions, have wealthy women willing to pay high prices to purchase it.
In this situation,
Rennes naturally seizes the opportunity to vigorously expand the perfume market,
Earning huge profits.
However,
This has also brought about a problem.
That is, there are not enough guards for the merchant convoy.
The shipment volume has skyrocketed.
The convoy transporting perfume has increased from less than ten vehicles to more than thirty vehicles.
In addition, they have to travel to other regions, which are relatively far away.
Originally, the over one hundred guards of the merchant convoy were completely overwhelmed.
Due to this problem,
Several batches of perfumes worth tens of thousands of gold coins were robbed by a group of bandits a few days ago.
Although most of the goods were successfully recovered through the intelligence network of the Shadow Organization, and those bandits paid a heavy price,
This incident still sounded the alarm for Rennes.
After all,
They were able to recover it this time, but it may not be the case next time.
There is no other way.
Rennes can only select more than three hundred knights from the family knight order who have partially exhausted their potential to serve as guards for the merchant convoy.
To ensure that the perfume will not be robbed during transportation.
Habs Manor, study.
Looking at the list of Habs family knights in his hand, whose numbers have drastically decreased,
Rennes unconsciously tapped the table with his right hand, lost in thought.
At this moment,
Janice, wearing a red dress and holding a fragrant chicken soup, walked in.
"What are you thinking about? You look so serious!"
"Take a break first."
"You've been in the study for several hours."
Seeing her husband buried in family affairs, Janice also felt a little distressed.
She placed the chicken soup on the desk.
Then.
Walking behind Rennes, he received a head massage from his wife.
Closing his eyes, he enjoyed his wife's service.
Rennes began to explain, "I'm thinking about conducting a nationwide qualification test within our territory..."
The rise of the Habus family has been too fast!
Talent development cannot keep up.
As the family's industry expands, the need for people is increasing.
The Habus Knights are a prime example.
After more than 300 knights were reassigned as escorts for the merchant caravan, the Habus Knights now have less than 400 members.
Their combat power has significantly decreased.
In order to quickly restore the Habus Knights to their original size, and to build up reserves of talent and strengthen the family's foundation,
Rennes is preparing to conduct a qualification test that covers all the residents within the territory.
From this test, they will select individuals with excellent qualifications to be trained and serve the Habus family.
After listening to her husband's plan,
Janice was somewhat skeptical.
After all,
compared to the nobles who have been cultivating extraordinary powers for generations,
the probability of ordinary people without extraordinary inheritance or cultivation having excellent qualifications is very low.
The vast majority of people have low to mid-level extraordinary qualifications.
Only a small number of people can reach a high level.
As for those with exceptional qualifications,
they are an extremely rare few.
After a nationwide qualification test that consumes a lot of manpower and resources,
it is very likely that only a few ordinary people with mid-level qualifications will be discovered.
In other words, this is probably a loss-making business.
Hearing this,
Rennes also thought his wife made a valid point.
But he still decided to give it a try.
After all,
with the continuous growth of the three major family industries, the Habus family is now extremely wealthy.
They can afford this loss.
Moreover, it may not necessarily be a loss.
"Let's give it a try!"
"Maybe we'll get lucky and find a few talented individuals with high-level cultivation qualifications."
Seeing her husband make a decision, Janice naturally wouldn't oppose it anymore.
Under Rennes' signal,
the administrative staff of the major towns quickly posted relevant notices.
Soon,
news about the nationwide cultivation qualification test spread throughout the Habus family's territory.
