Chapter 171 'Tree'

The establishment of major new departments did not cause too many twists and turns, all thanks to the efforts of Joyce and others.

Joyce's position has not changed. She is still the acting city lord of Miracle City, and she is fully responsible for all affairs.

Below her is Rosalind, the Minister of Finance.

Minister of Education - Xavier.

Minister of Territory Construction and Planning - Colin.

Research Minister - Hadey and Nancy.

Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Civil Affairs
And the last Minister of City Defense-Byron.

'City defense' is divided into two parts. One is the security team that was established before to manage security issues such as territorial disputes in the city.

The second part is the city guard that defends against foreign enemies. Its main duties are to guard the city gate and detect potential crises around the Miracle City, and clean up wandering monsters or thieves.

Byron is in charge of the two major city defense teams, which is related to the safety of Miracle City. His status has risen step by step, and he can be said to have a pivotal position in the management of Arnold Territory.

With such great power, the person who fears the most is Byron himself. He is worried that his single thought will lead to a crisis for the Arnold Territory and the lord.

He felt very stressed.

The changes in the high-level power structure did not have much impact on the lower-level citizens, and they continued to do whatever they had to do as usual.

Inside the magic divination room.

Vivian, wearing a purple and black robe, had just sent away a wealthy businesswoman who came to divine her love fortune. She turned to Ti Fu who was lying lazily on the sofa and said helplessly: "Why don't you find something serious to do like them? ? You eat and drink here all day long, and I’m almost exhausted by you!”

Tifu had just finished cooking a pot of spicy crayfish. While picking her teeth, she glanced at Vivian who was staring at her, then turned over, stretched out her hand to scratch her butt, and then put on a blanket and fell asleep.

She looks like a senior otaku.

Vivian didn't say anything else. In fact, she understood very well. As a fighting witch, Tifu's combat power was the strongest among them, but she was defeated by the death knight every time, not even once in front of the apocalypse knight. Seeing it, it was a huge blow to her.

At this time, several figures walked into the divination house. They took a look at the environment in the house, and finally their eyes fell on Vivian. The beautiful woman in the lead said lightly: "Witch of the night, where is the king we want to protect?"

Another legendary witch.

The appearance of the new witch didn't attract much attention from Ron, but later there was an otaku who liked to eat ice cream in the magic divination house.

The other witches have all found jobs in the city, either opening their own shops, or working under others as before.Because they have the guarantee of the Night Witch, they don't worry about safety issues.

Baron's Mansion, in the office.

Ma Wenhui reported: "Lord, the number of witches registered in the city has reached 19. They have not violated the law and have settled in the city."

Ron listened silently, and then Marvin reported the current situation of these 19 witches. They did not reveal their identities. One witch opened a magic potion shop in the city, providing adventurers with high-quality logistical consumables.

There are also witches who pretend to be enchanters to enchant adventurers' weapons and equipment to provide assistance in battle.

Because they used their witch power, the effect was better, so it was widely praised by everyone and more customers came to visit.

There are many such situations, and most of them have found their own way of survival in Miracle City.

After listening to Marvin's report, Ron raised his hand and waved him away. With Jessef keeping an eye on him, there wouldn't be much trouble in the city, and there was also the stone sword in the sky and Abel who had never left. Big troubles can be solved quickly.

Ron stopped paying attention to the witch's affairs.

Because of the newly established major departments, there was almost no official business that was actually handled by Ron. Thomas was also there in the Knights, so he became the most idle person.

After staying in the office for a few minutes and approving a few words, Ron got up and left. Not long after he left the door, he saw a maid sitting on the high escalator, raising her hands vigorously to wipe the eaves.

"Rebecca."

Ron called out, and the maid sitting on the ladder turned her head blankly. When she saw the lord below, she immediately smiled. Just as she was about to speak, her body's center of gravity became unstable, and she fell back and fell.

Seeing this, Ron felt speechless. He shook his fingers slightly and instantly cast wind magic. A gentle force held Rebecca underneath. The speed of descent suddenly slowed down. When it was less than half a meter away from the ground, the power of the wind suddenly dissipated. .

With a pop, one of Rebecca's softest parts hit the ground first. She clutched her back, her eyes watering with pain.

"Get up."

Ron said aloud, it was not that he did this on purpose, but because he lacked magic power and releasing the lowest level of wind magic was his current limit.

After all, he is not even a first-level magician now.

Rebecca sobbed aggrievedly and stood in front of him. Ron glanced at her and asked, "Why are you working alone here? Where are the others?"

"She, they have other jobs. It's me." Rebecca replied.

Other jobs?

Ron thought she was being squeezed out. From what Rebecca said later, she saw that the place was not cleaned at all, so she moved a ladder to wipe it down by herself.

He was silent for a while and said: "You said that you are good at cooking, so starting from today, you will help Irene in her small kitchen."

From this moment on, Rebecca really caught Ron's eye. He could tell a person's character just from a small thing. In his opinion, Rebecca had a good character.

However, it was such a person who experienced so much despair to become a witch.

Ron didn't ask, that wasn't what a gentleman would do.

Hearing his words, Rebecca became so excited that she even forgot about the pain. She had already heard about the small kitchen. All the delicacies the lord tasted came from there, and she yearned for it in her heart.

"Thank you, Lord." Rebecca bowed deeply towards Ron, with great etiquette.

At this point, Rebecca has completely entered the attention of everyone in the mansion. As a food witch, she has high attainments in cooking and can cook delicious food after reading the recipes once.

Eileen did not feel that her status would be threatened. Instead, she studied new recipes with Rebecca and pulled her to join the Food Association.

Therefore, the food in Arnold Territory has begun to enter a new field and has become the food benchmark of Carlo Kingdom. It would be the biggest regret in life if not to come to Miracle City to taste it.

Knights of the Round Table Headquarters Building, Knights Hall.

sonorous.

A figure walked into the hall. The armor was covered with dried blood and turned black. The murderous aura remaining on the man was still escaping outwards, making people look at him.

"Thank you for your hard work, Malcolm, are you not injured?" Thomas stood up to greet him and asked with concern.

Every Knight of the Round Table who is sent on a mission by him will ask this question.

Malcolm shook his head and said it was okay, and then began to report. The group of organizations targeting Miracle City had been slaughtered by him, leaving no survivors.

The name of the city that never sleeps spreads far and wide. There are a large number of underground organizations distributed within the Olivia Empire alone. Some organizations that lack funds can easily target this small city with endless wealth.

Thomas frowned, and Malcolm wiped his sword and asked, "What's the problem?"

"No, it's not your problem. I'm thinking, there are many enemies lurking in the dark, and you can't go on missions one by one. Should you learn from the lord and divide special organizations to deal with future crises?" Thomas said solemnly. said.

Hearing this, Malcolm was stunned for a moment, and he smiled and said: "I don't understand that. As long as Mr. Thomas needs me to swing his sword, I will stand up." "Haha, you really have this kind of attitude in your eyes." It’s just the sword. That’s fine, I’ll try to do it.”

Seemingly inspired by Malcolm's courage, Thomas felt certain and began to write documents.

This idea has been around for a long time, but now it has just been confirmed.

"By the way, get ready and don't go out again in the near future." Thomas said suddenly.

Malcolm's eyes flashed, and he immediately understood what Thomas was talking about. He nodded slightly, with a look of expectation on his face.

After sorting out the documents to be handed over to the lord, Thomas checked them three times before he was satisfied. When he took the documents to see the lord, Ron was half lying on the chair with a face full of joy, looking at a black men's hat in his hand.

"Lord Big"

As soon as he spoke, Ron smiled and said, "Thomas, you're just in time, come and put it on."

As he spoke, he put the black top hat on Thomas' head, and took it off again in less than three seconds.

Thomas was puzzled. The lord didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to ask more questions.

Ron put away the black top hat, looked at Thomas again, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter?"

It could be seen that he was very happy now. Thomas took half a step back, and after performing the knight's salute, he revealed his intention.

In order to fight against the hidden enemy, Thomas wanted to create something close to an 'assassination' organization. This was deviant for a knight and was an insult to the knight's character.

Thomas couldn't have known this, but he did it anyway.

"An organization hidden in the dark, unknown, and only for protection."

Ron put down the document written by Thomas. He could see Thomas' intentions. Hidden in the dark and without a name, there was no way to trace the source. Even if someone discovered this organization, they would not be able to trace Ron's head, and they would not be responsible for it. Any stain caused by the Arnold family.

However, as long as it is done, it will leave traces, and there will be no clues that will be buried forever.

Ron is not a stubborn person. Since Thomas's proposal is good, it can be implemented.

"To exist for protection, you need a name, so I'll give it a name. Let's call it 'tree'."

This statement represented Ron's recognition of Thomas' proposal and affirmation of what this organization would do for himself and the people of the territory in the future.

"Thank you Lord Lord!"

This time, Thomas knelt on one knee and lowered his head deeply.

In this way, the 'Tree' organization was established, and Thomas placed his intelligence organizations under the 'Tree' and integrated them into a larger organization.

He learned from the lord's division of powers and named the members who collected intelligence as 'leaf', a small stronghold as 'branch', and the organization headquarters as 'stem'. The last part was also where the 'tree' organization was hiding in the dark. A part named——

'root'

After Thomas left, Ron took out the black top hat again, took a look at it happily and then put it on his head.

Naturally, this hat is an entry item, and it is a rare intelligent item.

——[Wisdom Hat (Blue): Your brain is my brain. It records the brain areas of all people wearing the hat. People wearing the hat can share the wisdom of their predecessors.Brain domain upper limit (145/1000), retention time: 30 days]

Only Thomas has worn this hat, which means that he alone contributed 145 brain areas.

It's not that Ron's brain reaches the limit of 1000 points, and Ron will be smarter than others after putting on the hat, but that he can think broader and deeper when thinking about problems.

Just like a newborn baby cannot speak fluently when wearing a hat, this hat is more like an auxiliary prop.

When Ron put on the top hat, his brain value increased by 90 points. He frowned and was sure that this brain value was not an 'IQ'.

With a curious mind, Ron put on the top hat for others. Joyce contributed 81 points, Rosalind contributed 99 points, and Egbert contributed 93 points.
The further back he went, the more strange Ron felt. He didn't know how his brain determined this area.

Wearing a top hat, he met Irene who was playing with Xiao Bai on the way to the east side yard. He felt moved, waved her over, and then put the top hat on her head under Irene's confused eyes.

Brain value +2!

Ron looked shocked. This was the first time he saw a single-digit brain value. Melitoya had a brain value of 28 points.

He looked at Eileen with a complicated face, then took back the top hat. He saw Xiaobai squatting aside and wagging his tail. He paused and put the top hat on its head. There was no strict attribute in the entry. Regulation.

Brain value +132!

Ron: "."

Irene was just a fraction of Xiaobai, and she couldn't compare to a dog. No, it should be said that most people were compared to a dog.

Is this a legendary monster?

Ron wore a top hat and came to the foot of the Miracle tree. Looking at Nidhogg playing against the bluestone chessboard, a look of certainty of victory flashed across his face.

With a brain value of 670, how can you beat me?
Later, Ron and Nidhogg started a fierce battle, and after winning several games in a row, Ron...
Nidhogg looked up at the opponent every time he made a move, as if he was seeing him for the first time.

"You cheated."

Nidhogg said with great certainty. Ron raised the corner of his mouth slightly, spread his hands and said, "Do you have evidence? Don't talk nonsense. This insults your status as the Dragon King."

"Take off your hat if you can!"

Nidhogg had already felt that there was something wrong with that hat, so Ron immediately stood up and said with a pretended disdain, "I can't afford it, I won't play anymore."

Without any hesitation, Ron left directly, leaving an angry Nidhogg behind.After experiencing the power of the [Wisdom Hat] and defeating Nidhogg in a few games of chess, Ron was already satisfied.

He feels very happy when he puts on the 'Wisdom Hat'. His thinking is highly active, his thinking is smooth and fast without any stagnation. When playing chess, he can easily see through the opponent's intentions and make several moves in advance.

But there are also several disadvantages. This thing is too obvious and has to be worn on the head all the time to be effective.Moreover, there is a time limit, and the brain value must be recharged when the deadline is reached.

a few days later.

"In the name of the current head of the Arnold family, Ron Arnold, I grant you the title of Knight of 'Judgment'."

After Ron awarded Malcolm a status medal, he took out a cup that exuded divine light out of thin air.

"This 'Holy Grail of the Soul' is yours."

Malcolm raised his hands and took it solemnly. He said solemnly: "Thank you, Lord. I will certainly live up to your high expectations."

Ron smiled and nodded, "The Holy Grail of the Soul can keep your heart from being infected by external things, and can make your heart peaceful. You are obsessed with the sword, I think it is the most suitable for you."

Malcolm's eyes lit up as he thanked him again.

"The power of the Holy Grail of the Soul is more than that. It has more functions that you need to discover by yourself."

Ron finally said that in his opinion, the Spiritual Holy Grail has the most comprehensive effect among all Holy Grails.
