Military, Cultivation
As for their grades, Normal grade Primary level Villages usually summoned F grade villagers and one E grade villager every three days, one D grade villager every 12 days, one C grade villager every 48 days, one B grade villager every 192 days, and one A grade villager every 768 days, while S grade and above villagers simply couldn't be summoned in Normal Villages.
From this, one could see how rare high-grade villagers were. If it took more than two years to summon an A grade villager, it would be essentially impossible for a Normal Village to summon S grade villagers or above.
This was how long it took to summon certain villagers for Normal Villages. The time was reduced by 2/3 for Blue Villages, another 2/3 for Silver Villages, and so on.
Most of the villagers summoned at Violet Legendary grade Villages were F grade, some were E grade, a few were D grade, and very few were C grade. Higher grades required more than 2 days, but adding on the Holy Frankish Village's special stats and Hug of Tour's Title's effect, the Holly Frankish Village had a 30% bonus to attracting higher grade population, so it would take a bit more than a day for the Holy Frankish Village to summon higher grade villagers.
Out of the thirteen summoned villagers, two were C grade, three were D grade, four were E grade, and four were F grade.
After this, Arthur brought Roland and seven of the men who had decent build to the five stone steles. The five stone steles were Profession Change Stone Steles, and four of them could be used to change one's profession to a certain profession.
[Holy Frankish Soldier]: E grade Military. Description: The Frankish Soldier who swept across and conquered Europa and became Holy Soldier after the recognition of Charlemagne as the Holy Emperor. Effects: Every soldier who changes professions will receive the basic cultivation technique [Holy Cultivation Manual].
That was the introduction to the Holy Frankish Soldier, and the different professions were as follows:
The first was Infantry, which could choose [Sabermen], [Swordsmen], or [Spearmen].
After changing professions, Infantry could obtain profession-specific skills. For example, [Sabermen] received the skill [Basic Saber Technique] and the Infantry profession bonus of Strength +2% and Constitution +2%.
The second was Knight, which could choose [Saber and Shield Soldier] or [Spear and Shield Soldier]. They received the skill [Shield Defence] and the Shieldbearer profession bonus of Strength +1% and Constitution +3%.
The third was Archer, which could choose [Scout] or [Dagger Archer]. They received the skill [Basic Archery Technique] and the Archer profession bonus of Strength +2% and Agility+2%.
The fourth was Cavalry, which could choose [Saber Cavalry], [Sword Cavalry], or [Spear Cavalry]. They received the skill [Horsemanship] and the Cavalry profession bonus of Strength+2%, Constitution+1%, and Agility+1%.
The fifth was not a battle profession but a Scholar Profession Change Stone Stele, which allowed 10 people to change their profession to Scholar. They received the skill [Research] and the Scholar profession bonus of Intelligence +4%.
The amount of Scholars was limited to 10 at most for a Primary Level Village, and they conducted all sorts of research, such as agriculture, which increased production, animal husbandry, which allowed one to tame wild beasts, and brewing, which allowed one to make good wine.
Of course, the higher grade Scholars were better. As such, Arthur did not plan on changing anyone's profession to Scholar today, he wanted his scholars to be at least A grade, there was a saying, Knowledge is Power, and Arthur believed in it. Because the village had just been established, he had 50 free profession changes. After 50 profession changes, he would only be able to change professions by paying the corresponding number of copper coins.
Arthur changed the seven villagers he had brought to Infantry. Arthur regarded Roland as quite important because he would later get his hands on the Legendary Sword, Durandal.
"Roland, what profession do you want? You can choose yourself."
Hearing this, Roland nodded. Because Generals could choose 2 professions, he chose Cavalry and Infantry.
Arthur also chose Infantry. He was destined to become an Emperor, and the weapon of Charlemagne, Joyeuse was a sword, so he chose Swordsman and received [Basic Sword Technique] as well as the [Holy Cultivation Manual]. It is only possible to cultivate using cultivation techniques, and his current cultivation was only Stage 0, which he could only raise by cultivating.
Cultivation was split into nine Stages, and each Stage was split into nine Steps. Every time one advanced a Step, he or she received +1 to all stats.
Only by having a Legendary Village would one be able to obtain the corresponding cultivation technique and have such comprehensive military professions.
If it was a Normal Village, they would only be able to change to F- grade [Militiamen] at the beginning, and would have to obtain their own cultivation techniques.
There were wheat seeds in the Village Hall, some simple farming tools, ironware, and weapons in the Smithy, clothes in the Tailor Shop, and basic medicines in the Medicine Shop. Arthur arranged for the women to go and pick wild fruits and berries, while the two remaining men were to cut wood and build houses and fences. After settling down, they could start clearing wild areas for farming.
At this moment, when Hug saw that Arthur was also helping to build the fence, he quickly called out, "Your Majesty! How could we allow Your Majesty to do such heavy jobs."
Everyone heard this and looked quite worried that Arthur would tire himself out.
When Arthur heard this and saw the expression of the others villagers, he couldn't help but slightly smiled as he said, "Don't worry about me, we're all on the same side, and we have to make the Empire again so something like that isn't anything."
When Hug heard this, his expression tightened. Arthur was the Carolingian Imperial Family's inheritor, and he would one day be an Emperor. How could he do something like building a fence? That was blasphemy. However, just as he was about to say something, Arthur cut in front of him. "Alright, it's getting late, let's continue!"
Hug didn't dare to say anything, but his respect towards Arthur increased, he had never seen or heard of an Emperor who could work with is people at such a manual task.
After working for a while, they finally built a few wooden houses and some simple fences. Without knowing it, the 13 resident's Loyalty all increased by 10, bringing Popular Support to 80.
At night, Roland hunted a wild deer and a few rabbits. Everyone sat around a large bonfire together, making it seem quite lively. After some time, Arthur excused himself and went inside of the City Hall to think about his future plans.
Killing non-humanoid creatures in the Heaven Awaken World would not result in any drops apart from a few copper coins, evidently, this didn't apply to creatures who had higher cultivation, thus Arthur began to think about how he could get his hands on precious materials. At the same time, residents or soldiers killing other creatures increased the experience of the Village, which helped the Village level up.
At this moment, Hug respectfully walked in, "Your Majesty, is there something that is bothering you?" Hug asked after seeing Arthur's expression.
Arthur shook his head, "No, don't worry, it's nothing like that." he replied while smiling.
Hug slightly smiled before replying, "Then I don't have to worry."
Arthur smiled and he looked toward the sky for some time, while the two of them were silent, Roland also entered the City Hall.
"What are your thoughts towards the Empire future?" Arthur suddenly asked.
Hug de Tour was the Prime Minister of the empire, and Roland was one of its famed Generals. Their insight and knowledge of tactics were definitely above Arthur's, so he did not act arrogantly, and instead sincerely asked for their opinions.
Right now, the entire world was a chaotic chessboard, but there was nothing that had been determined yet. Life, death, heroes, altruists, and formidable characters had not been determined yet, neither had who the chess pieces or the players were. None of this was certain. If they didn't start preparing now and failed to advance and consolidate at every step, all that was waiting for them would be failure and death.
