Lord Evolution: Starting With SS-rank Skills

After finishing the meal they had prepared, Rowan told Riela about everything he had discussed with Dragun and asked for her opinion about the matter.

"I can use magic?" Riela asked, her face showing shock and excitemt.

"Yes, and not just that—you are pretty talted in it, which means you can achieve a lot with magic," Rowan replied.

The tales of magic in Winterseed were vast, and many of the villagers wished they could one day wield the miraculous power of magic, and Riela was no differt.

She asked Rowan a lot of questions after hearing that she had the talt to become a great mage.

Rowan tried his best to explain everything as best as he could to her and tried to persuade her to learn magic under Dragun in the process.

After a few minutes of discussion, Riela finally agreed to start practicing magic with Dragun, which made Rowan pretty excited.

"I'll pass your answer to him tomorrow, and we can arrange a schedule. I know you're going to do pretty well as a mage," Rowan complimted her.

Riela was really excited about this new developmt.

She ev told Rowan that she would love to master healing magic so she could help the villagers wh they were sick.

Rowan could've asked her to practice combat magic more, but knowing her personality, he decided against it and let her be with healing magic.

'Healing magic is not a bad choice after all; I won't have to spd resources making medicine for the sick villagers,' Rowan thought.

Both of them had a good time together before Riela wt to bed.

Rowan proceeded to op his wheel and see what reward he might get tonight.

In the last few days, Rowan had already used 0 more tickets, and he got pretty impressive prizes ranging from evolution points to common-grade items. There were not many extraordinary prizes.

Rowan proceeded to spin the wheel t times, and he got the following rewards.

---

,00,000 evolution points

x80 Common-grade swords

x80 Common-grade spears

x0 Common-grade leather armors

The rewards wer't that impressive, but Rowan knew they were worth a lot of evolution points.

He planned to sell the weapons to D'andre or any merchant he came in contact with wh he got the chance.

Rowan checked his invtory and observed the items stored in it.

There was still a lot of food supply left to feed the whole village for a very long time, and more than 000 weapons to distribute anytime. There were still some skill books and other building resources.

Rowan bought some combat skills books from D'andre and planned to pass them to the captains to train the soldiers with.

Nevertheless, ever since the war, he had be busy with developing the security and reconstructing the houses, giving him less time to settle down and pass the skills to the soldiers.

'Well, it's not like reconstructing the houses is a total waste of time; there are so many people in the village right now. Some of the soldiers who came from Glwood had to ev sleep at the village square because there is no place for them to live,' Rowan sighed.

He studied the other details about his system before going to sleep.

While Rowan wt to sleep, Dragun strolled towards the southern border to see if he could get his hands on some nice herbs to prepare more potions for himself and Riela.

He believed Riela might have already agreed to his request to tutor her in the field of magic, so he was ready to prepare everything she needed.

Dragun walked past the boundary without any of the soldiers standing on the guardhouse noticing him. He used a cloaking spell to hide his presce from the soldiers and wt on towards the forest.

He arrived at the spot he last explored and continued his exploration.

He picked herb after herb and stored them in his spatial pouch. He kept going deeper into the forest to pick herbs.

Meanwhile, at the guardhouse he had just walked past, Josh and five other soldiers could be se standing, staring far ahead into the darkness, observing for threats.

Josh sat down on a stool while the others watched.

Two of the soldiers watching the direction of the southern forest suddly noticed a slight movemt which only lasted for a split second.

The two soldiers looked at each other as if to confirm if neither of them was seeing things.

"Did you see that?" one whispered.

"Yeah, but I think it's just the breeze," the other concluded, and both soldiers returned to their positions.

Nevertheless, they wer't greeted by the usual darkness but with something differt!

"Monsters!" one of them suddly yelled out, alerting the others.

Josh, who was in a half-sleep state, stood up immediately and wt to observe.

Behold, a large horde of monsters could be se marching towards the village.

Josh quickly understood what sort of monsters was moving towards them, judging by their movemt and height ranges.

"Goblins and hobgoblins," he noted with wided eyes, his body shivering a little bit.

The monsters marching towards the village were in large numbers, from Josh's perspective, they could be a five hundred to one thousand. About sevty perct of them were goblins, while the rest were the most powerful of the goblin race—the hobgoblins!

Josh took his eyes off the shocking sight and gave the command to his soldiers.

One of them grabbed a makeshift whistle and began to blow on it, releasing a pretty loud sound that spread over a short distance.

Another two ran away from the guardhouse, holding the same makeshift instrumt that they began to blow as they made their way towards the village.

The ones the two soldiers held released a pretty loud sound that reached the houses closest to the border.

Thankfully, Rowan had arranged for a situation like this after they built the guardhouse.

After the sound of the makeshift instrumt reached the houses closest to the border, which actually belonged to soldiers, the soldiers in those houses grabbed their own makeshift instrumts and blew them to inform the others.

Suddly, the whole of Winterseed was covered in the sounds, informing everyone of the danger coming towards them.
