The super lord of the island

Chapter 63 063. The Rainy Season Is Coming
patter...

patter...

The boy stood in front of the window, looking at the gray sky, the continuous drizzle fell on the ground, wet the treetops, drenched the eaves, and moistened the grass...

The rain is not heavy, but it has been going on for a day and a night.

"The rainy season is here..."

With a casual sigh, Jialan turned around, and the maid beside her, Irina, quickly closed the window to prevent raindrops from entering.

Frequent and continuous rainfall will lead to muddy soil, obstructed vision, rapid body heat loss after raining, and almost impossible to perform field work.

So the arrival of the rainy season brought an end to the busy spring plowing activities, and Jialan also fulfilled his promise, giving the slaves two days off to move freely.

Of course, slaves are prohibited from entering the north and west of the village, otherwise their lives will be in danger.

"master."

Butler Mag hurried into the living room and saluted respectfully. The wet marks on his shoulders proved that he had just returned from outside.

"Sit down and talk, and make a cup of hot tea for the housekeeper."

He has always given the greatest leniency to the followers summoned by the system around him.

"The order to stop spring plowing has been communicated to other managers. In their spare time, Knight Karl will assist Malt Maihe and them to manage the slaves together."

"anything else."

"In addition, Knight Karl said that the available manpower is too small, and he hopes to increase the manpower of the corps."

"Well, indeed."

Jialan nodded and expressed her thoughts.

"Carl needs soldiers who obey orders, and Mai Ze and others need reliable and fully trustworthy companions. If you join the regiment as a slave, you will appear out of place and even split into two factions.

How about this, select ten slaves who have made outstanding contributions and performed positively, and give them the status of free citizens, and join the Dawn Corps as soldiers, on the condition that they need to be loyal to me and never be betrayed. "

As long as you do things for yourself, restoring your identity is nothing, but setting an example for other slaves and increasing their enthusiasm for labor.

Mag thought about it and thought it was feasible.

"Okay, this matter will be handled immediately, and the right to choose personnel will be handed over to Karl, and the list will be given to me after the selection."

"Yes!"

McGonagall led the way and left.

……

……

"What?! The lord wants to expand the army, so he has to choose from among us!"

"It's just nonsense, why don't I know."

At this time, a group of idle slave laborers were sitting in the stone house. Although the lord had given them a holiday, it was raining outside, and there was nothing outside the village. Therefore, most of them chose to rest in the stone house to relieve the fatigue of many days.

Jason's face turned red when his companion questioned him.

"I just heard it outside. It won't take tomorrow. Tonight, the two adults, Mai He and Mal Ya, will tell everyone the news. I also heard that the chosen ones will be freed from slavery and given to the Lightless Island to officially Resident status!"

"Oh God again~ What you said is true?!"

"Of course! I guarantee it with my personality!"

"My God...hope I'll be chosen."

Some people have already started praying that they are the lucky one, but more people still remain skeptical. After all, even if it is true, the selection criteria must be very harsh. It is really hopeless to stand out among the more than 100 slaves.

Sure enough, in the evening, the news about the selection of soldiers from the serfs came out of Maiya's mouth, which caused many people to stay up all night.

The task of selection fell on Karl, but unfortunately, after inspection, he found that none of the more than 100 slaves had extraordinary talents.

However, this result is normal. Wherever there are cities and towns, children can go to the academy run by the local city hall to test their talent at any time, and only charge a very low fee.

Those with extraordinary talents will definitely stay in the academy for further studies, and they will not become slaves as ordinary residents.

Now that it is confirmed that none of them have extraordinary talents, Karl has selected ordinary soldiers according to the standard, that is, the level of pure physical fitness.

Speaking of physical fitness, the human race in Valorance World commented that it was a bit taller than Blue Star. Adult males generally reached 1.8 meters in height, and 1.9 meters or even 1.7 meters were not uncommon. Women were slightly shorter, with an average height of about [-] meters.

Take Jialan himself as an example. His height is 1.7 meters [-], which is definitely not short in his previous life, but he is labeled as thin and thin in his family. Even his personal maid, Irina, is only a little shorter.

So when the ten slaves selected by Karl stood in front of Jialan, he was a little surprised.

"My lord, they performed very well in the previous work, and their physical fitness is also very good. After training, they can serve as soldiers."

"I have met the lord! I will swear allegiance to the Lord to the death and never betray!" The selected slaves knelt down and shouted in unison. The momentum is not bad, and they should have been preliminarily trained by Karl.

Seeing this, Jialan nodded slightly, and ordered the housekeeper to fetch the deeds of selling their lives and the new contract of allegiance, and prepared to give a speech in accordance with it.

"I am the lord of the Lightless Island, Baron Garan Amethyst, and the Morning Light Corps is the first army under my command. I believe that in the near future, the Morning Light Corps will become one of the strongest armies in this sea area!

Those who have meritorious service will be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes will be punished!It's up to you to follow me to where you go, so let's sign a contract. "

The original slave contract was torn up, and everyone left their fingerprints on the new allegiance contract. From now on, they have completely become part of the Lightless Island, which is fundamentally different from slaves who are property.

This is also the result that Jialan wanted.

The development of a territory is inseparable from the power of everyone, and slaves can only bring the most basic labor force. Buying slaves is not to enjoy the pleasure of enslaving others, but to make Aurora Village develop rapidly.

In Jialan's plan, this year, the population of Aurora Village should be at least 1000, the number of soldiers should reach 50, and the output of various resources should be self-sufficient and have a surplus.

"Very good, but now you have not passed the test. Only those who have passed the training of Captain Karl and persevered to the end can join the Corps. Of course, I believe you can all do it, Karl."

"Subordinates are here!"

"Take them to get a set of equipment and practice hard."

"Please rest assured, my lord! I will definitely train them into qualified fighters!"

Carl clenched his fist and hammered hard on his chest, showing his determination.

……

The selection process ended quickly, and the allegiance ceremony was held in the open space outside the castle, which was equivalent to being open to the public. Other slaves came to witness this scene with their own eyes, which caused a great degree of excitement in the village.

After all, there is a precedent, and there may be opportunities in the future, at least the hope of getting rid of slavery remains in the hearts of slaves.

This ray of hope is an important part of ensuring the stability of Aurora Village.
