CHAPTER 22 THE VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT II
When Shadow arrived at the apothecary shop, he saw many hunters, and some of them brought their contracted beasts. There were also soldiers lining up.
He got in and saw that there were many more workers. It seems that the two ladies accepted some apprentices.
He found out that both Mary and Dania were already Grade 1 Apothecaries, and they also gained different professional abilities and titles.

They both gained abilities from their respective expertise. He decided to give Dania one of the fox pups, while he decided that he would capture a beast with healing abilities for Mary.
After chatting with the two ladies, he gave them two basic techniques that Ban collected: the Basic Pill Refining Technique and the Basic Healing Technique.
He then arrives at the Smithy, and he sees that the number of apprentices increased. When he got inside the workshop, he was surprised that Bruce was already a Grade 2 blacksmith.
He let out a cough to announce his arrival. All of the workers stopped and turned back when they saw it was Shadow. They greeted him and got back to work immediately.
"Bruce, how have you been?"
"I have been a great village chief; it was all thanks to the gift you gave me."
Shadow smiled. That gift he gave Bruce was the Natal Hammer that the system rewarded him with.
"It's nothing, though, compared to the contribution that you made for the village; it was nothing."
"By the way, I am here for two reasons, which are to take Rio and ask you for the type of beast you want to contract with."
"Village chief, why do you want to take Rio? He is a great goblin."
"Yes, he has a great talent, but not for blacksmithing, but for engineering. I will make him a mechanic."
Bruce seems surprised by his suggestion and thinks about it. He agrees that Rio is good at building and composing things; it seems he has a passion for fiddling with things.
Bruce then called Rio and told him about the suggestion.
Rio thought about it and nodded at him, accepting his proposal.
"Village Chief, the beast I want to contract with is a fire- and strength-type beast."
Shadow thought about the beast he knows, searching for a suitable candidate, and then a beast image was shown.
"How about the Violent Flaming Bear?" Bruce nodded and then shyly asked Shadow to look for a suitable beast for his wife. Shadow then told him a beast called Rainbow Silk Spider if his wife is okay with spiders.
"My wife is okay with insects; the only thing she is not okay with is dogs."
Shadow then left and went to the military campground and gave some techniques that Ban collected. The techniques were Basic Spear Technique, Basic Sabre Technique, Basic Archery Technique, and Basic Movement Skill. After that, he told Lou Yan to gather all the military. The total population of the village, including the subsidiary villages, was 1531. The army is 306. It is enough to make 3 true generals.
"All of you were probably wondering why I gathered all of you here." The army nodded while some were confused. The confused ones were the new recruits of the army. After all, this is the first time to see Shadow.
"And I know some of you still don't know me, so let me introduce myself. I am Shadow Eligan, the village chief of this village."
The army was surprised, excluding those who already knew who Shadow was.
While they were discussing Lou Yan, he told them to be quiet and listen to the village chief.
After his shout, all the soldiers quieted down; it seems they were very obedient to him.
"I am here to tell all of you that I will create two generals"
The army was shocked again while they were still dazed. Shadow added, "I will be picking Lou Yan and Banjo Libat to be the generals."
"Lou Yan and Banjo Libat, come onto the stage and face the soldiers you will lead."
"Once I upgrade the village, I will also promote Don Don to be a general."
After saying that 100 soldiers kneeled to Lou Yan, there were also another 100 soldiers that kneeled to Banjo Libat.
"Lou Yan, do you, as a citizen of Eligan Village, take a pledge to protect the village and conquer the enemies?"
"I, Lou Yan, pledge my loyalty and strength to the prosperity of the village."
Shadow nodded and told the soldiers to raise their weapons and chant the pledge of the soldiers.
The soldiers raised their weapons and their voices and shouted, "We, the soldiers, pledge to be loyal and listen to every command of the general."
*Boom* Some energy was taken from the soldiers. Lou Yan then swung his huge sabre and pointed at where the energy was gathering. A large amount of energy was taken from Lou Yan.
After taking Lou Yan's energy, the energy whirlpool subsided and formed an image of a bear roaring towards the sky. After continuously roaring, the bear charged and entered Lou Yan's forehead.
After the whole event, the process was once again repeated, except it was Banjo's turn. The image that he conjured was of a hawk.
Shadow then scanned both of them.

He was surprised that Banjo kept the profession ability of archer and turned it into an innate talent.
'System, why is the profession ability of the archer the innate talent of Banjo'
(A general can take the professional ability of a sub-military profession and turn it into an innate talent.)
Reminder: It can only take one profession ability of a sub-military profession.
