Lord's Arrangements

"Alan, I have a task for you."

In the study room, Anrui called his most trusted student.

At this moment, Alan has fully recovered from the injuries he suffered in the forest. At this moment, he is standing in front of Anrui, his whole body is upright and full of energy.

"Lord Anrui, just ask!"

Anrui looked at Alan in front of him and nodded with satisfaction. "Devil Beast, those spiders that attacked the town a few days ago, do you still remember them?"

"Of course I remember!"

Alan replied immediately.

He had already recovered from his injuries. Although he arrived a little later, he also participated in the counterattack against Corrupted Poison Spider, and even killed one with his own hands during the battle.

Now I think back to everything that happened that day.

Alan still couldn't help but clenched his fists, and there was anger in his eyes.

Not to mention the direct loss of the town in the battle.

As a student of Anrui, he also knows that this winter will be a season of food shortage.

And the culprit of all this is those damn spiders! Anrui saw the anger in Alan's heart, and his tone changed accordingly:

"Actually, just a few days ago, when the first snow fell, Devil Beast also launched an attack on the mine."

Alan's expression changed and his tone immediately became tense:

"Devil Beast attack? Mine?"

"I remember that Suna was not responsible for guarding there..."

Alan and Suna have a good relationship.

Because the other party is also an awakened person who received training at the Lord's Manor.

It's just that Suna has poor talent, and War School's skills only developed to Second Stage, and there has been no progress in the following years.

Being stationed in the mine as a guard, Alan rarely gets to see each other.

At this moment, Anrui was talking to himself so seriously, Alan naturally thought of the bad side of the matter.

Fortunately, Anrui didn't make him too nervous and immediately explained, "It's okay. Fortunately, Linsey was there at the time. He repelled the attacking Devil Beast, so there was no big trouble."

Alan breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing his student's expression slow down, Anrui then expressed his opinion. "I think this attack is not simple."

"Alan You also know that the Distant Hunt team came back this morning. They were also attacked by the Devil Beast group after the snowfall. Although the main ones chasing them later were poisonous spiders, we must not ignore this."

Alan asked tentatively, "Do you think there have been some changes in Devil Beast in the forest?"

Anrui nodded first, then shook his head. "The early arrival of winter this time seems to have had an impact on Devil Beast. They are hostile to our town."

"However, the specific situation has not yet been determined, so it is difficult to draw conclusions immediately."

Alan asked curiously, "Lord Anrui, haven't you been busy with the town's security work these days?"

Anrui then revealed his plan. "Yes, but we not only have to defend, we also have to take the initiative!"

"We must organize manpower to clear out these Devil Beasts lurking around the town."

"I called you here today because I want you to go to the town and inform other awakened people who are capable of fighting. This matter must be done immediately!"

Upon hearing the arrangement, the young awakened person immediately became excited.

He stood up straight and made his promise, then left the manor, preparing to convey the news to other awakened people in the town overnight.

Watching Alan leave, Anrui began to arrange other work.

Inform old craftsman Iruier to prepare some weapons and equipment; ask doctor Song An to make medicines needed in battle; and allocate food from the town's granary.

These things are all important materials that will definitely be used in the attack against Devil Beast.

Just when these people are sent out.

Anrui did not explain the whole story as he did to Alan, but simply issued an order.

"..."

"Alan, it can only be you."

After completing these trivial instructions, Anrui was briefly free.

He stood in front of the study window, looking up at the sky outside. On the dark night, there was a bright full moon hanging high.

The starry sky in front of me is different from when I was studying at Nal Kebandek a hundred years ago.

But the dark sky made him feel something unchanging.

Linsey has no intention of inheriting the management work of Border Town.

This student of mine has special skills that Anrui has never heard of. If he can break through the blockade of Black Mountain World, he will surely shine in the vast world outside.

It is impossible for Anrui to force such a promising Linsey.

So starting from today, he decided to train the next Lord on Alan.

This is why he talked so much to Alan and even explained the whole story clearly.

"Hopefully we can save the situation."

Anrui also sighed.

He subconsciously looked at his empty left arm.

Although losing an arm.

But as an awakener of Fifth Stage, Anrui's intrinsic strength still surpasses the entire town, and it is no problem to deal with Devil Beast in the forest.

"As long as everything goes according to plan, there will definitely be no problem."

Anrui murmured in a low voice as if to convince himself.

But because of this thinking, a problem that he had to face emerged in front of him.

Transfer conflicts to the external direction.

It will definitely stabilize the current situation in the town and even restore Anrui's original control over the town.

But what about the future?

After all, there is only a temporary decision for this contradiction in external transfer.

The fundamental problem cannot be solved.

People's desire to break through Black Mountain will not disappear because of this, but will just stay dormant temporarily.

over time.

The influence brought by the suppression of Devil Beast will definitely gradually decrease.

When the time comes, driven by people's hearts, the conflicts that should break out will always continue to arise.

How long will this take? Delay it to a year or half a year? How should we respond then? Under contemplation.

Anrui made another decision.

He did not summon anyone else to his study this time.

Instead, he came to the door of his daughter Anna's room alone, reached out, knocked on the door, and walked in.

It was getting late by this time.

Anna was wearing a nightgown and was concentrating on copying text under the flickering candlelight in front of the table.

The girl saw Anrui walking into the room.

There was a surprised look on her face illuminated by candlelight, and she didn't understand why Anrui came to see her so late:

"Father?"

Anrui nodded slightly, sat next to Anna, and said earnestly, "Anna, Harvest Day three years ago, I helped you tidy up your body. Next time on Harvest Day, you will definitely become an awakener."

Seeing that his father did not directly state the purpose, he was a little hesitant.

Anna naturally understands that something important is about to happen.

She had a premonition, put down the pen and paper in her hand, and looked at Anrui seriously:

"Yes, I hope to become a Life Scholar. Linsey has the learning content left by Grandpa Finn."

First expressing his attitude towards the Awakened, Anna then asked:

"Father, do you have any plans?"

Anrui nodded, he lowered his gaze, not even daring to look at his beloved daughter.

He said in a low voice:

"Anna, I hope you can agree to my request and change your choice of sublimating your skills in the future..."
