Of course, the matter of assigning jobs was left to Isloa.
She was the elder sister of the witches, so it made sense for her do this ‘sinner’ job.
However,
After Mu Yuan left, without Isloa needing to say anything, Sophia and the others began to chatter about work.
The Lord had saved them, provided them with shelter, and even cured their blood disease. If they didn’t repay him, would they still be human?!
“I think I could… you know…”
A certain girl said.
Before she finished, Isloa slapped her on the head, “You’re dreaming.”
“… At the moment, there are many positions in the territory that are understaffed. Let’s talk about what each of us is good at.”
She gave them a rough idea of the current state of Tianyuan Territory.
The territory was newly established, simple and monotonous, but this didn’t disappoint them. On the contrary, they were all eager to build up their home, so they could feel more at ease staying.
Elk Erin was one of the older witches who came from a noble family. She awakened her bloodline quite late and had already been engaged to another noble family with a similar status just before her awakening. But once she awakened, her life changed completely, and her fiance came to unilaterally break off the engagement.
The broken engagement made her family lose face, and since she had witch’s blood in her veins, she became a stain on her family’s reputation.
Afterwards, Erin left her family and experienced various industries. She listed all the things she was good at.
“The lord wants to build a school, Sister Erin, you’re more than capable of managing that. But in the initial stages, there won’t be much to do, so… you should come and help me. I’m working at the City Lord’s Mansion now.”
Isloa found that Sister Erin was a treasure trove of skills, knowing more things than she did.
She wasn’t really good at administrative work either, she wanted to be a combat person, but what could she do? She could only shine in civil service positions.
Miss Fox also spoke up, “My family used to be merchants, though we were wiped out later on. I can definitely handle putting together a trade team.”
Black Crow Sophia didn’t want to lose out, “I can do teaching, business, negotiations, and so on. My family was a Count-level noble family, though my stupid and garbage brother sent assassins to kill us.
“In short, I, Sophia, am a genius girl who’ll definitely become the Lord’s righthand man.”
Thud-!
Isloa held her head and ruffled her hair wildly, making the hair reaching down to her waist messy.
“Noway, I am the Lord’s right-hand man.”
After their blood disease was cured, the witches became much more confident and cheerful. Now, those with special skills were speaking one after another, even competing with each other.
“I think I can work in the City Lord’s Mansion.”
“Noway, I’m better than you, I’ll go!”
Isloa looked at White Wolf Sickle Moon.
The Black Crow, the Fox, and others also turned to her.
Feeling their gazes, Sickle Moon stopped playing with the fluffy tail behind her butt. She reached out her hand, and the fair palm turned into sharp claws in a moment.
She raised her claw,
“I can fight, I can kill monsters.”
“That’s not enough, do you have any other specialties?”
Isloa asked.
Miss White Wolf stared at her claws, deep in thought, her head drooping.
Half an hour later, the swift and decisive Isloa returned to the City Lord’s Mansion.
“Lord, this is the preliminary staffing arrangement. What do you think?”
Mu Yuan took a look.
Each girl’s field of expertise was highly detailed. It surprised him because the quality was even higher than he expected.
Ifwe’re talking about skills, Black Crow Sophia, Elk Erin, and Fox Daisy were at least SR level talents. Although they weren’t as special as Master Li who was at least SR++ in the field of forging… they were good at so many things. Each of them could take on multiple roles, they won’t have to worry about finding jobs.
Even Miss White Wolf, who seems to have no particular skills, had her talent. She’d catch up as she learned. And she wasn’t like other newly awakened troops that lacked common sense.
“That’s fine, follow this plan. I only have two requirements, fast and steady.”
“Understood!”
Isloa responded, paused, and then couldn’t hold back her curiosity, “Earlier, your power… wasn’t only used to cure the witch disease, was it?”
“That’s correct.”
Lord Shepherd didn’t hide anything and said, “Since it’s a blood disease, I filled in the gaps in their bloodlines and took it a step further, naturally curing the disease.”
He made it sound easy, but Isloa was stunned.
Fill in the bloodline?
Take it a step further?
The attempts to do the former had always ended fruitlessly, and the latter seemed beyond belief.
Improving bloodline potential had been attempted by many, but it was costly, unstable, dangerous, and time-consuming.
But what did the lord do?
He just reached out his hand, gently touched them, and gave them a baptism, filled up, and evolved.
This almost broke the theories and worldview she had learned.
But Isloa trusted her own eyes more. She saw and judged that Sophia and the others’ bloodline power did indeed increase.
The Lord, he truly lives up to the reputation of being the most mysterious person in all of Tianyuan!
However, even the most inconceivable power must obey the fundamental rules of the world. Those who defy or break the rules inevitably have to pay a tremendous price.
Looking at the Lord, she began to worry, glancing up and down as if searching for signs of any price that had already been paid.
She wore an expression that suggested him to stop pushing himself too hard and consider his health first.
“I did pay a considerable price, but it’s manageable,” Mu Yuan said, looking at Isloa. “Also, you too have wished to evolve, haven’t you?”
Isloa averted her gaze, as she had indeed harboured the slight thirst for evolution.
“You can also evolve.”
Her head snapped back towards him, her eyes widened, she pointed at herself, saying, “Me? But I’m already at the Star Maiden level.”
Evolution is a miraculous phenomenon indeed.
Besides, if even she could ascend further, wouldn’t that mean she could potentially step into the legendary Epic Level?
“Of course, there is a chance. You saw the changes in Sophia and the others, didn’t you?”
Mu Yuan paused. “However, your potential is much higher, leaps and bounds ahead. You understand that if you want to evolve, you’ll have to pay a much larger price.
“So, go and work hard now. If you’re not determined enough… you don’t want to lose this precious opportunity to evolve, do you?”
Boss Mu cast a tempting bait, yet it was not illusory.
Isloa stared blankly for a while. She was just pondering what price she would have to pay, and it turns out… it was merely to work hard?
A swirl of emotions brewed in her chest, a mix of gratitude, on the verge of tears, and an impulse to regard him as a mentor.
When she regained her senses, the Lord had already left the office, leaving behind only a silhouette haloed in the golden evening sun.
“I trust you can handle all the official duties.”
His shadow disappeared around the corner.
Isloa remained rooted in place. After several seconds, she lowered her head and looked at the desk, where a stack of messy documents had accumulated since morning. She flicked her hair with a chuckle, swiftly split into several clones, and set to work on dealing with the various loose ends.
“Next, we need to buy more remnants of the Militia’s Souls. Although Isloa’s position is akin to a civil officer, a civil officer… can also make meteors fall from the sky at whim.”
Mu Yuan gazed at the Light Ball of Evolution.
The requirements for continuing to evolve from the Epic One Star level are 5000 evolution points, which is quite steep. But the Epic level possesses the unique trait of natural growth. There’s a chance… he wants to quickly promote all of Tianyuan’s generals to the Epic level as soon as possible.
And after the Epic level…
“The level above the Epic appears to be the Legendary tier, however, it will be more challenging to evolve at the Epic level.”
He had tried on Dead Bone and Duo Lai.
The requirement for the next round of evolution was 20,000 points. While it seemed lower on the surface, the feedback from the mysterious forces revealed that it could only evolve to ‘Epic Two Stars’.
The Epic Tier can no longer skip the second star evolution, it can be foreseen that when the Epic Three Stars evolves into the Legendary Tier, it will require an enormous number of Evolution Points.
“We have to take it slow.”
“The current small goal is to evolve all Tianyuan Generals to the Epic level.”
At a certain place in Capital Tai Xuan.
An unfathomable power projected itself from across the void, morphing into lifelike illusions.
One of them, dressed in an ice-blue armor, had eyes that seemed to freeze the world. Even though it was just a projection, an invisible chill emanated.
However, the others present were not strangers to each other and had grown accustomed to such feelings.
“Let’s start the meeting. The main topic is the selection of candidates for this edition of the Dragon Court tournament. According to our contract with Shen Yao and Yongxing and other countries, we can only choose candidates from the new lords.”
Tournaments for resource competition between various nations abound, and among them, the Dragon Court competition carries the most weight. Its results can directly impact the nations’ fate to a certain degree, so it is not a small- scale event like the Festival of Heroes.
This is because the results of the Dragon Court Competition determine the distribution of recruitment quotas for top-notch troop buildings.
The allocation rights to buildings that are jointly guarded by all large nations, where no one can dominate, belong to Dragon Nest.
“Who would you nominate?”
“Nominations? Haven’t the past years been decided by battles?”
“That’s true, but what I meant to ask was whether there are any promising talents. Otherwise, it might be a bit difficult for us this time.”
The person speaking glanced at Han Yue.
Thinking back to the previous edition, he felt extremely refreshed. Maybe it was because the Lord of Han Yue City randomly killed and seized too many quotas last time, it’s his turn this time not to perform well.
It’s not like it’s completely inconceivable.
New stars like Wuji and Kong Ming were indeed up to the standard of previous editions, but there was a lack of truly exceptional lords with overwhelming power.
The dozen or so people present were discussing fervently, each putting forth some candidates.
Han Yue joined in and said, “If that’s the case, I’ll recommend Tianyuan.”
Silence fell for a moment.
“Tianyuan? Isn’t he a complete rookie? Don’t joke around.”
“I’m not joking. Since the battlefield is the Land of Challenge, and the quota selection is based on the records in the Land of Challenge, why shouldn’t we let Tianyuan have a try? There’s no cost in trying.”
Han Yue crossed her hands.
Although she was embracing an exploratory mindset, there was a faint, irrational expectation deep inside her. Was it possible for a miracle to occur once more?
As for this man, whose prettiness probably did not fall short of her own, she found it increasingly unfathomable.
