Chapter 876: Chapter 523: Marie’s Talent Advancement, and Zong X’s Studies!
As expected.
Just as his voice fell, Marie had the answer.
"My lord, a total of 378 refugees have joined us."
"Among them, 79 are of Dull Talent, 229 of Ordinary Talent, 42 of Fine Talent, 17 of Excellent Talent, 4 of Rare Level Talent, 5 of Magic Talent, and 2 of Heroic Level Talent, with Fine and Excellent Talents respectively."
"The two with Heroic Talent have skills related to internal affairs."
"One has a 15% speed boost for construction and a 10% material reduction, but only for their own constructions."
"The other provides a special boost to agriculture."
"Suited for managing agricultural development."
Marie reported fluently, having done her homework well.
Zong Shen nodded as he pondered.
"I understand."
"Leave these two heroes to you and Hoy."
"Let them assist you."
"The territory’s chores will only increase in the future."
"And the related internal affairs tasks will become more arduous."
"Have Hoy take the two newcomers to the warehouse and issue them a set of Excellent Level equipment later."
Among the over three hundred refugees, there were only two Heroic Level talents.
However, their talents were decent.
Worthy of cultivation to become future Command Nodes of the territory.
And to share Marie and Hoy’s internal affairs tasks.
Until the caravan is formed, Hoy will remain primarily responsible for the territory’s internal affairs.
As Marie’s deputy, he is deeply involved in the territory’s development.
Counting these two refugee heroes, the territory currently has eight heroes, including Dogman Chief Dutra, with four focused on combat.
Dutra, Wenresa, Doris, Luna.
Including the newcomers, there are now four heroes responsible for internal affairs.
A rough balance has been achieved.
Zong Shen did not concern himself with the names of the new heroes.
He simply placed the newcomers under Marie and Hoy’s command, exercising indirect rule.
When there’s time, have them train in the training ground, or take them out to level up; after all, internal affairs heroes’ Command is mainly used for the ordinary farmer population.
Moreover, Zong Shen discovered something.
That is, internal affairs labor can also increase Experience Value.
Just like Marie; though her Level hadn’t increased, her Experience Value had grown significantly.
In the long run, levels can be slowly improved this way.
This can explain the heroic talents among the indigenous people within the village and Bang City.
Why they have a certain level foundation.
Just like Hoy, who, after working busily in the Gothic Castle for over ten years, has no problem reaching a level in the teens.
"I understand."
"Notify Hoy later."
"Have him select 200 relatively strong farmers."
"Equip them with enough Mining Pickaxe supplies and head to the mine."
"Hand this group over to Dutra."
"Let the Dogman Chief teach them mining skills."
"Have him act efficiently and ensure they return to the territory before noon."
Zong Shen instructed Marie seriously.
Watching Marie bowing respectfully before him,
he remembered something.
"Go notify Doris, Marie, Wenresa, and Korby."
"Everyone is to assemble before noon, 12:00 PM."
"Other than the Wolf Cavalry Squads guarding the mine and patrolling the territory, all must be present for an important expedition task."
Zong Shen said, hands behind his back.
Marie nodded.
"I understand, my lord."
"I will convey your orders properly."
Looking at the earnest Marie, her round face was smooth and delicate.
Carrying a unique fullness and tenderness of a young girl.
Zong Shen couldn’t help but pinch her chubby cheek.
"Alright, off you go."
He waved his hand, signaling Marie could leave.
Her cheeks flushed with a rosy hue, she mounted her horse shyly.
Departing hurriedly from there.
Zong Shen watched her back, glancing at her recent Attributes in the process.
Finding that Marie’s Talent had improved from Excellent Level to Rare Level.
The corresponding Attributes had directly increased by about 30%.
This was a significant improvement.
Initially, when Marie joined, she only had a Fine Talent.
He used a [Complete Blue Soul] to enhance her to Excellent Level.
As for the current Rare Level Talent, he hadn’t interfered.
Without his orders, Marie wouldn’t touch precious Purple Souls.
Previously, he got a [Sealed Soul Vessel (Purple)] and obtained three [Complete Purple Souls].
Currently, one has been used.
To construct the [Giant Wolf’s Nest].
The remaining two are still in the Storage Box, with no usage observed.
This indicates that Marie’s talent change occurred naturally.
Her handling of internal affairs during these days is also a form of training for her.
This further corroborates Zong Shen’s previous hypothesis.
Through learning and the honing from various tasks, talent can be improved postnatally.
Talent, in this context, actually represents a composite ability.
The stronger the ability, the higher the talent.
Additionally, everyone has different personalities.
This is like the original San Pang, who handled affairs much more efficiently than those with Dull Talent.
After discovering Marie’s change, Zong Shen didn’t make a fuss.
Silently watching her ride away on the Grassland Horse from the Central District.
Heading towards the residential area from the East Inner City gate.
The time was still early, with four to five hours remaining until noon, 12:00 PM.
