Take it all with you? Lind likes it, and who wouldn't want it all?
"Have you figured out their behavior patterns?"
That's the key point. If this thing keeps running around everywhere, then nothing we say matters.
"I've figured it out. This kind of monster is nocturnal. It hides in caves during the day to avoid the sunlight and comes out to hunt at night. It also has a hunting ground in the mountains."
"oh?"
As he spoke, Weeks pulled out a huge, dry stalk of hay from his bag, which looked very much like straw.
Linde took the dry straw and examined it closely, discovering that the straw was indeed huge, ridiculously huge.
If this kind of grass grows quickly and is of high quality, it can be a considerable source of income. Not to mention, if the magical beasts really like this kind of grass, it can be used as material to lure and tame these wild beasts.
"Come here, Weeks, I'm going to give you a very important mission."
…………
Before long, Weeks left the tent with a big smile and returned to the barracks.
He first found Astaire, who was resting.
"Captain, the lord has given me a mission; I need to lead a team out..."
Aster is far more senior than these Bronze Warriors. Despite his youth, Aster was a man who worked under the Earl.
Not only was he a decorated soldier, but his upright character also made him very popular in the entire army.
Even seasoned veterans in the army, who were already quite old, were willing to respectfully call him Captain.
Weeks, who was younger than Astaire but was exceptionally talented, was also influenced by him.
Upon hearing this, Astaire said to Weeks:
"There's no need to tell me these things. The lord must have seen your exceptional abilities to assign you this task. Remember, never let the lord down."
He patted Weeks on the shoulder and said:
"Keep up the good work, I have high hopes for you."
Weeks immediately straightened his back, as if he had been inspired, and his whole body became radiant.
So Weeks rushed to the guard camp to select the best men.
"Brothers, we've got a job to do! The lord has given orders."
Soon, Weeks' loud shouts gathered a large number of soldiers in the camp.
These soldiers were ordinary soldiers temporarily resting in the camp. (Linde used a rotation system in the barracks, employing shift work to prevent soldiers from not getting enough rest.)
"What's going on? Why is it so noisy? Has the lord arrived?"
"It's Weeks. What's that kid doing here?"
"What else could they be doing? It's just that the lord gave orders, probably to conscript laborers. Let's stay away..."
Many of these ordinary soldiers are seasoned veterans who, relying on their age and seniority, even look down on people like Weeks who became bronze warriors at such a young age.
The whispers coming from the crowd weren't good; one by one, some of the seasoned veterans slipped away. Everyone realized that a job had been arranged, and they all became somewhat evasive.
Seeing everyone's attitude, Weeks knew exactly what was going on and anxiously shouted:
"Everyone, I am Weeks. I have just been appointed by the lord to scout the terrain. We need two more people. Is there anyone willing to do this?"
Upon hearing Weeks' voice, the group quickened their pace.
"Hurry up, this is hard work, it's not for humans. Wouldn't it be better to just stand guard?"
"Hurry up, hurry up..."
Watching the crowd disperse, Weeks stood in the center, somewhat at a loss.
This situation was unexpected by the young Weeks, catching him off guard.
At this moment, two figures standing by the tent began to plot.
“Will, look at that kid, he’s jumping up and down in a panic. If it were me, I would have wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground.”
Dodge, standing to the side, pointed at Weeks, who was standing alone in the center of the camp, his tone full of sarcasm.
Will, standing to the side, frowned and stared at Weeks, seemingly lost in thought.
Suddenly, Will grabbed Dodge and led him toward Weeks in the center of the camp.
"Hey, why are you pulling me? What are you going to do... You don't want to..."
With that, Will covered Dodge's mouth and brought him right in front of Weeks.
Will whispered in Dodge's ear:
"I'll trust Brother Thyss this once."
Then, releasing Dodge, he said to Weeks, who was still hesitating beside him:
"Is this Weeks? I heard you're hiring?"
And so, a brand new three-person exploration team was born.
Along the way, the two walked quietly behind, and Dodge secretly asked Will why he had dragged him into this arduous task.
Will said mysteriously:
"Didn't you hear? This kid received orders personally from the lord."
Dodge, standing to the side, said disdainfully:
"So what? There's no reward for doing this kind of work for the lord..."
Will, standing beside him, wore a look of utter disappointment and said:
"Fool! The lord is not like those old nobles. The territory has just been established, and this is the best time to climb up. Once the territory develops, the more developed it becomes, the harder it will be to climb up."
Will glanced at Weeks, who was leading the way, and said:
"This Weeks must be favored by the lord. Before long, he'll definitely become a favorite of the lord. If we follow him, our good days will begin!"
Dodge, standing to the side, looked on with suspicion:
"Really? I think this kid's pretty stupid."
"You don't know anything! The lord likes this kind of half-idiot... that's called loyalty!"
At this moment, Weeks, who was in front, suddenly turned around and said to them:
"Ahead lies the forest where the monsters' lair is located. Stay close and don't lose them."
"yes!"
Will quickly followed, not forgetting to give Dodge a wink behind him.
Dodge, who was behind him, sighed and followed.
Weeks chatted with his two new teammates:
"Where are you two from? Judging from your appearance, you must know each other, right?"
"Yes, yes, we were all farmers in a small village under the Earl's territory, and we all grew up together in the same village."
"Really? That's great. I grew up in Earl's City, and we're all from the Earl's territory."
"...(Does this kid not know how to talk?)"
…………
At this moment, in the camp, Aster entered Lind's tent:
"Sir, Weeks has selected two ordinary soldiers, and they have already set off."
"Not bad, quick on the uptake, a promising talent."
Linde now hopes that his territory is full of people with special skills who can help him with the administration of the territory.
Lind's team is still too weak right now, and Alice is too busy studying the spoils brought back from the ruins to spare any time for him.
Apart from an elderly man named Edmond helping to manage the affairs of the people, Astaire had to do everything himself, and he was so busy that he couldn't keep up.
"well……"
