Chapter 55: Selection II

('

(First update, thank you Tiandi Xingyu and I like mini for your rewards! Thank you for your support!)

The leading people of these mountain people are also quite wise. In the words of Donald's previous life, it was a poor mountain and bad water that made people unlucky. The originally simple villagers, led by a few thorns, could actually think of ways to surround Xijiao Town to force the officials to solve their resettlement problems as soon as possible.[.z

However, the situation today is obviously a little different. After the mayor came forward, he did not continue to lobby them to leave, but instead said loudly:

"Dear villagers, a great man came to our town yesterday. I believe many people saw him coming last evening. This is the Knight Melina, a nobleman of the North County. His Excellency Melina is not only a hereditary nobleman, but also a great wizard!"

The mayor's words caused a sensation among the mountain people. They were all mountain people living in remote areas such as border mountainous areas. Not to mention mysterious mages, even powerful warriors have never seen many mages. For them, mages are legendary mysterious existences.

Compared with the nobles, the identity of a mage can make ordinary people feel more awe-inspiring, so the refugees couldn't help but look at the young noble mage with fear and curiosity. However, the leaders of the people couldn't help but have bad thoughts in their hearts!

"Is it possible that the mayor of the town is no longer preparing to give us food. He is afraid that we will not leave, so he will find a mage to deal with us?"

Not mentioning the little thoughts in those hearts, Donald stood up when the mayor introduced himself, and the beautiful veto scepter in his hand appeared out of thin air. With a wave of the staff, a white light suddenly appeared above his head. His whole body was bathed in the light, and it looked extremely holy and majestic.

This is just a low-level zero-level magic, but it is so magical and great in front of these refugees who have never seen any real magic. Influenced by Donald's current glorious image, the refugees all bowed their heads and did not dare to be disrespectful in front of this god-like man!

Against the backdrop of the light technique, Uther behind Donald stepped forward and said:

"Don't worry, everyone will be properly placed with the strength of the respected Marquis Ansel, and I believe that everyone will be properly placed soon. This time, my master was recruited by the kingdom and passed by here. Because two new manors were built, there was a lack of manpower to take care of them. If you find that you are homeless, you might as well choose a few of you. If you are sure to join the family of your master, you can take your family with us and return to the North County."

"If you are willing, you can go to the mayor to register, and then I will select it myself. People with skills are preferred, those who know literacy and arithmetic are preferred, and those who are strong are preferred! If you make contributions in the future, it is not impossible to be promoted from a servant to a retainer to a noble status!"

When Uther finished speaking, Donald revoked the spell, turned around and left the town gate and returned to the mayor's house to wait, and handed over the place to Uther.

Seeing the noble mage leaving, the mountain people present and the guards behind were exclaiming and talking to the onlookers.

Like those old people who lived in mountain villages all their lives, they were not interested in Donald's election, except for their awe of nobles and mages.

However, the villagers of Xijiao Town live near the royal capital, and they are particularly familiar with the situation. Some people who live in poverty are even envious of the refugees. Donald's performance and Uther's personal speech did inspire some of the refugees, namely some young people who have been influenced by the legends and stories of heroes since childhood and have always had an impulse in their hearts.

These free mountain villages are all people who were treated harshly by the nobles. Hundreds of years ago, fled from other parts of the mainland to the north and lived in seclusion. Some of them were integrated into the Kingdom of Celtic, and the other part was nominally civilians to the Kingdom. In fact, they lived in remote areas around the border and formed self-sufficient free mountain villages. The villages were often in the mountains, and they could not be under the jurisdiction of local lords, nor did no nobles collect taxes.

Although such days are poor and monotonous, they are better at freedom and unrestrained.

However, young people always yearn for the prosperous world outside. Over the years, many young people from generation to generation have chosen to go out of the mountain village to see the outside world. Occasionally, some people come back to retire, but most of them have never come back. I don’t know if they live a rich life or die outside!

Now Donald suddenly appears like a god, and they are in such a predicament again, so many young people are ready to move, but due to the majesty of their elders for many years of discipline, despite their hearts, they dare not stand up like this.

The mayor waited for a while but didn't see anyone coming out. He couldn't help but feel disappointed. At this time, a strong man in his twenties, who was in his prime, suddenly stood up.

"Barn, what are you doing?"

"Come back soon, Bane!"

Several leaders and the old man among the refugees shouted, obviously the middle-aged man named Bahn was quite powerful in their eyes. These people were both shocked and angry at his sudden actions.

…………

Bane ignored the shouts behind him. At first, he was a little hesitant, but when he thought of his own experience and those ugly faces named elders in the village who only wanted to occupy the reputation and exploit him, he became firm in his heart.

He was originally the son of the previous generation of the village chief in their Yamamura. His father, as the best hunter in the village, and his ancestors' skills in taming domestic animals. According to tradition, if he had excellent skills, he would have taken over his father's position and become the new village chief.

However, his father was killed by a sudden attack of high-level monsters in order to save other hunters when he was a teenager. His mother died early and was raised by his father alone. As soon as his father left, he became an orphan from the original future village chief and the best hunter of the younger generation in the village.

Although life in the mountain village is simple, there are conflicts in places where there are people. The successor village chief and Bane's father have been rivals since childhood and have always been jealous. Although the rest of the village are all feeling the grace of his dead father to save his life, they are frightened by the village chief's tyranny and dare not say anything, so they can only give some help in secret.

In this case, how could Bane's life in the village be better?

"If I hadn't learned about my father's ancestral skills and could hunt and tame beasts by myself, I might have starved to death or died in the mouth of the monster!"

This situation improved a little until Bane became an adult, but the candidate for his wife he liked was married by the village chief's son with a high betrothal gift of five monster furs, so he has remained single for many years and has no intention of thinking about women.

If Barn had no resentment or indignation in his heart, it would be a lie! But he could not kill the village chief and his son for these reasons. After all, he was still a kind and upright simple mountain citizen...
