At dawn, there was a lot of activity outside.
George walked out of the door with sleepy eyes and found the squires discussing something passionately. Only when he walked over, it was quiet. And all of them were carefully avoiding his gaze, as if they had done something wrong.
George scratched his face, feeling a little wrong. After skulking around the tavern and pushing open a few doors, he noticed that someone was missing.
"Where's Jack?"
"Out." Alexander had two sweet potatoes inside his mouth and spoke in a way that made it a little hard to hear: "Not bad for my squire!"
George's face a question mark, no longer want to hit him, turned his head to ask about Martin.
After that, in Martin's stumbling answer, he learned the whole story.
When it was still light, Jack packed up his things and went out. A retinue who had gone out to pee met him and learned that he was going after the giant.
"I couldn't persuade him at all, my lord. You know, Jack is usually very fierce and very stubborn... I was going to knock on the door and report to you, but he beat me up and tied me up in the house..." The squire's gaze was evasive as he spoke, and he seemed to be lying.
Maybe he even gave a thumbs up when Jack left.
'Jack could not have not heard about the giant from the mouth of Ajay - and the description in Ajay's mouth was thirty meters, eight hands of the thing...'
''But this guy is determined to be that giant catcher...''
''Forget it, even if he doesn't go, I'm going to call someone to go. I need a tracker to understand the situation of the giant now.'' George's heart so thought, but is deliberately cold a face, sitting over the fire pit.
Although this kind of action of the soldiers under him showed that the squires already possessed blood and also boosted morale. But for the unauthorized subordinates, Alexander has sung the red face, he must sing the white face to sing.
He does not want to appear among his subordinates who like to take the initiative - unless they are not present.
'Jack compared to Martin, although not so much spirituality, but is the most reckless one among the squires. Since following Alexander, he has become even more reckless... Hey... But this guy should be rough in the fine, listen to Ajay said he had hunted bears alone before, so he should still have some measure.''
George looked at the fire in the fire pit and found that Jack had already arrived at the lumberyard at this time. He seemed to have wandered around the lumberyard and was currently planning to head southwest.
Looking at the lord without saying a word, the escorts' hearts were weak. They ate their meals carefully, not daring to make a sound.
After a while, Ajay quietly came over and said hesitantly: "Lord, don't worry, Jack used to be a 'scout hunter' who specializes in scouting for noble lords, he told me that he wasn't foolish enough to deal with giants by himself, he just went to scout... Ahem."
Realizing his slip of the tongue, Ajay turned white with fear - just before, he had acted as if he knew nothing.
"Hmm." Without further ado, George turned his head to look at everyone and said, "Hurry up and eat, training starts today."
These words could not help but make everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
The schoolyard had been set up, and without wasting those divine grace of his, training could indeed begin today.
The territory is now stable. Last night Alexander also took a group of people outside to clear the area, and now there is a 24-hour vigilante. So for now, it seems that the field that is scheduled to be harvested today will not be a problem. And the rest of the area is mostly just a few wolves - they're hunting some zombies too.
While eating, while observing the notes above the schoolyard, George secretly nodded his head.
After the appearance of the schoolyard, not only did some changes appear on the scrolls, but the information he could see also became more numerous.
The most obvious thing is that the notes on the escorts' bodies now have an additional [merit]. And each person's body, also appeared a [potential value].
George observed while eating, and found that the potential value on each of these people was different, among which the merit was the highest for Martin - 6 points of merit.
In the description, the merit seems to come from the various tasks distributed by the shelter. The more you participate or complete, the more merits you get.
Martin, the trustee, played a significant role in gathering the people and calling them to the faith. And after that he completed many patrols, guarding the territory and so on.
The daily tasks are basically 1 point of merit each (a few will also increase the grace of God, but they are all badly done things like delivering letters for the people of the territory, so they have not been done) After completion, they are distributed to the participants according to their contributions. Martin received a total of 3 merit points for these things, and for participating in the main quest, he received another 3 merit points directly.
George found out by reading the scrolls that [Merit] seems to be a kind of mark. When reaching different levels, it will have different titles.
Currently, after Martin's name, there were the words [Humongous Bandit] that could be lit up. It will consume 10 points of merit. From the description, it seemed that a few [Humble Bandits] would be able to crush a group of bandits - specializing in overcoming the rabble.
In addition, there were also titles like 'Bandit Leader' and 'Cunning Doglord' that could be lit...
''These titles are actually some recognition from the asylum for individuals, and after getting the recognition from the asylum, those potential ideas and abilities in people's hearts will be stimulated...''
George felt that these titles might be related to the real 'elites' or even 'heroes'.
Shaking his head, George did not choose to light up those titles first. His eyes darted around and landed on the [Potential Value].
''This potential value...''
George was somewhat speechless as he assigned Martin's 2 points of potential value to his Physique attribute. After that, there was an additional gray [+0.2] after Martin's physique This gray additional value seemed to be invalid now, and could only be converted into actual physique and combat power through continued exercise afterwards.
After seeing such a scene, he frowned and thought slightly.
''The divine grace of the shelter has been purifying the land and transforming the environment. And the people who are bathed in divine grace should naturally benefit from this positive energy. And the meaning expressed by the potential is the potential power in the bodies of the squires.''
''The sanctuary takes this hidden power and transforms it into actuality.''
George's summary was close to the real answer.
He turned his gaze to Alexander and found that his merit was surprisingly as much as 18 points. The current title was [Loyal Guard], and the effect was 'Deadly Loyalty' and 'Fearless'.
Another title over there, there are titles like [Vicious Wolf Slayer] and [Scavenger Nemesis] to light up. George observed, found that these two titles one is to increase the damage to wolves, one is to increase the damage to scavengers. Each title requires 15 merit points to light up.
Obviously it was a waste to light them up...
As for the potential column, it is an 'R' and cannot be added on top of the attributes like Martin.
''Potential is an 'R'? What does this mean? Does it mean that this guy can't improve his combat power just by eating and drinking?''
George blinked his eyes and felt that although this statement of his was a bit exaggerated, but the big guy as he ate more and more these days, the muscles on his body were not only a bit fuller than before, but his strength was also indeed much greater.
And itself in the big guy hero rating also has 'R' this mark, meaning rare, extraordinary potential.
'Maybe it's because people like Alexander don't need the power of the shelter to get stronger on their own...'
Rubbing his chin, George stopped thinking about this and fixed his gaze back on the fire pit.
On that, his own status on the merit was extremely impressive, a full 33 points. However, there was only one title that could be recognized by the Asylum - [Walnut Smasher: +1 ability to eat walnuts (the gods of the Asylum suggest you eat more walnuts, maybe it will make your clever little head, use it for business)] (consume merit 1)
As for the potential, it is '2'. However, it can only be used for physique, not for intelligence.
He expressionlessly lit up 'Walnut Smasher' and hung it on top of his head: 'You think you can disgust me? Hmph... Wooooooooooooo...''
Taking advantage of the meal, George added all the potential of the escorts on top of the physique.
''This potential is indeed stimulated up, but although it takes a while to feedback on the combat power. And in this land of salvation enveloped by divine grace, it seems that everyone's future will have unlimited possibilities...''
George stared at the fire pit and pursed his lips. The people in the tavern were too cautious to look at the lord, bowing their heads and swallowing...
As usual, after the meal, George led the guards to call the militia, in the territory of a round, after handing out food, arranged for old Duke to take four people while leading the people to work, while patrolling - mainly to collect the bodies disposed of by the night watchman, as well as to stabilize the people.
The four men are actually the men who worked in the mill yesterday, thin and weak, and a bit older. But in their battle robes, inside the fog, the townspeople were unable to see. And apart from the soldiers, the townspeople did not know that there was actually no one else patrolling outside the territory.
The group went down to the field with the lords, made a pretend turn around the periphery, and then headed for the castle. While on the road, George observed the scrolls some more, looking at the distribution of those monsters, and completely settled down.
The castle is already different from before. The front inner wall was still a bit broken and not fully repaired in time. But at least it is not the previous collapsed appearance, more or less imposing. Especially the huge gate, has been re-installed by the servants, still looks somewhat majestic.
Nodded, feeling from the outside looks like a big change, compared with just woke up, has been considered a castle, can not help but open the door with great anticipation.
Immediately after, George saw the inside from that doorway and almost stumbled in shock.
There are still a lot of holes in the inner castle, the servants of the Kingdom of Heaven like ghosts in the inner wall of the side to drill around, in addition to the sky is still a little dark, and suddenly look up thought it was a ghost castle.
But what dazzled George most was the original inner courtyard of the schoolyard.
Gone were the ruins, as neat as new, a pure white and green ground.
In memory, the inner courtyard of the earliest castle was full of open wooden sheds, and the ground was a mixture of green stone and muddy dirt, dirty and messy. When the door was opened in spring, the wind blew and it was full of dust. And the ground and the surrounding area is also dominated by the green and gray, looks old and spoiled. It was like a kind of earthen tower building.
But now it is beige square stone pavement, with grass-covered land. The front face of the main hall of the Vice Fort directly in front has been completely restored. The original stone pillars that were broken to the ground not only towered back to their original position, and there are many sacred emblems carved on it.
And the left side of the original stationed knights and guards of the various buildings, not only also restored to its original state, and the doorway and a statue. Even the wide schoolyard training ground on the right, the most central pool was also restored. There is also a pure white statue on it - is holding up the book nail hammer and holding the canon in his own hand!
That pouting mouth inside is still constantly spraying water out...
