Chapter 33 Employ one's talent the fullest

Ken focused his attention on the galaxy.

He felt a group of jumping fireflies, and the subjects of Sandonkaya flashed before his eyes, drifting away, changing, and drifting away again.

Then a bright light spot remained in the air.

This is the symbol of Torobi.

Ken manipulated the original power of the note, peered into it, and felt the other party's simple feelings.

The light spot was jumping, as if eager to be ignited into a flame.

He heard the call and generously sent the experience points in, and then a ray of heat burst and took it back to the sea of ​​stars.

[Specialty: Cropland]

[Effect: Harvest Increased by 12%]

[The other party's ancestors were all farmers, and his field management skills were outstanding. The crops he carefully cared for all grew well. ]

Ken's consciousness returned to the training ground.

Torobi did not notice his changes. He lowered his head and still felt unspeakable shame.

"You seem willing to give for Sandonkaya."

"Of course," he raised his head and then dropped it. "But I'm a rough man, without courage or talent."

Ken shook his head and asked seriously, "Our berry field is destroyed. If I give you time and manpower, are you willing to restore it for me? The tribe needs to continue to develop. In a more civilized culture, if we don't want to plunder, we can only rely on our own hands to feed ourselves."

Torobi's body was shaking violently.

"Of course!" He was excited and seemed to have found a way to realize his self-worth. He nodded and agreed quickly. Fearing that Zhan Jing would be worried, he added, "No one knows the soil in the north better than me."

Ken patted his shoulder, and the note popped up at the right time.

[Task: Farmer]

[Progress: Sedimentation Stone 0/1 Seed 0/30]

[Description: To get a good field, you need some materials and seeds. After getting them, give them to Torobi. He won't let you down. ]

There was a shout from the crowd. Two scholars looked at each other and then took the initiative to walk out.

"Mr. Ken."

Their loud calls caused dissatisfaction among the onlookers. Speaking the name directly seemed disrespectful in this occasion.

"Ahem, please forgive me, Zhan Jing."

His companion hurried to save the situation, and then came up with the prepared speech.

"Our physical fitness cannot pass the test, but if we really go to the battlefield, we may also be able to contribute our strength!"

Ken showed curiosity. He really wanted to see it.

The two scholars looked at each other and nodded, and then pulled out a person from the crowd. He had just participated in the conscription, but his weak strength made the battle axe embedded in the wooden stake.

Several people whispered.

The villagers stood in front of the wooden stake again, holding the battle axe with both hands.

The two scholars cleared their throats, their expressions became pious, and their pupils gradually faded and turned white, as if their souls had received some revelations.

The onlookers retreated one after another, as if they saw someone infected by the hunter.

Ken did not move. He could not feel the violent anger in the other party, but a pure spiritual power was ready to go.

The resounding words rang out from his throat.

Their voices slowly merged and merged into a louder and clearer tune, stepping on a specific rhythm, and the syllables continued to rise.

There were only two people.

But the sound was transmitted without loss, even the villagers standing at the outermost edge seemed to be listening beside him.

Ken felt his heart rate accelerate and strength surged in his muscles.

He opened his gray vision, and the surrounding scenery lost its light, but waves of magic swayed from the bottom of the scholar's feet, and everyone affected could receive benefits.

[Score Collection: Heroic Hymn]

[Quality: B]

[Effect: Inspiring, encouraging, and temporarily increasing the team's strength. The effect increases with the number of chanters. ]

The scholars looked forward, and from their behavior, they did not seem to have lost their minds. This magical ability was within the controllable range.

The villagers received the signal, he exhaled vigorously, swung the battle axe and split the wooden stake in half!

"Oh my god, I passed!"

He jumped up happily, but quickly regained his sanity. The words just now were just self-mockery. This kind of illusory power is not always available.

Quima stepped forward and patted his shoulder, asking about his specific feelings.

Kane looked at the two scholars and formally agreed to their request, but he could not assign the Flying Wolf, so they had to learn to ride horses.

"In addition, we need to get Burke's consent."

"Before we participated in the selection, we have already asked the teacher. As long as it does not affect the trip to Red Maple Highlands next month, anything is fine!"

The two scholars showed a strong desire for adventure.

[Singer X2 joins your team. ]

They were brought out to enrich their experience. The deception of the snakehead and the threat of the robbers did not wear down the courage of the young people. They were not satisfied with the physical labor of village reconstruction, but yearned for swords and expeditions.

[Singer]

[Quantity: 2]

[Basic auxiliary unit, weak physique, outstanding mental strength and magic talent. ]

Ken originally wanted to ask a few more questions to see if there were such talents in the scholars' team, but the result was a little disappointing. The two of them learned this chanting skill from the kingdom's sorcerers after skipping classes, and only a few people learned it.

The relationship between the two groups of scholars and sorcerers is a bit subtle, and they don't like each other very much in the kingdom's parliament.

Ken no longer made plans. These two were already unexpected gains!

The village has a small population, and the selection has ended successfully.

Except for the last wolf.

It still hasn't found a suitable partner, whimpering and pacing around, and can only patrol around the village, a little depressed.

Ken discovered another use of experience points - lighting up the talents of civilians.

The importance of experience points has increased again. As long as it has it, the people of Santonkaya can make full use of their talents, and their comprehensive strength will advance by leaps and bounds.

But this thing is not enough to cover expenses, and a stock of enough to save lives must be kept.

Now I can only think about it...

[Mission: Starting Point of Prosperity]

[Progress: 24/50]

Ken knew deeply that his power needed to grow, and the current scale was far from enough.

He asked the refugees including the Yates couple, and after combining various information, he got an expedition route. This journey will take about ten days, passing through at least four villages and a dangerous place.

The troops began to repair.

Prepare dry food, polish weapons, and confirm the personnel left behind.

At night, Ken lay down comfortably in the [Sauna] he designed, and the sound of breathing came from all around.

"I'll be frank, Zhan Jing," the wolf riders said with emotion. "Although you don't remember, you must have been a master in the capital, or a wealthy nobleman."

"Yes, I grew up in the ice and snow, and I never thought taking a bath was such a pleasant thing."

"I feel like bear meat in a steamer, and my bones are almost stewed."

Ken smiled but said nothing.

He moved to a separate wooden barrel without leaving any trace. Although he could not enjoy the steam, at least the space was independent and the atmosphere was not so tense.

[Number of troops: 16]

[Details: Wolf Riders X12, Blade Riders X2, Chanters X2]

Ken hid the notes and slowly adjusted his body and mind. He touched the clothes in the waterproof leather bag with his backhand, which had been washed and dried.

Very considerate, who did this?
