Chapter 100
After William advanced and obtained the life evolution potion, Richard immediately gave it to William.
William asked the officer's internal pharmacist to identify it and after confirming that there was no problem, he immediately took a period of leave and took the life evolution potion at home to prepare for the advancement.
He has broken through the sixth level for many years and accumulated rich experience.
After taking the potion for a short time, I successfully broke through to the seventh level.
By becoming a senior professional, William's status within the Northern Army has improved a bit.
Within the Northern Legion, there are only eight high-level professionals in total. Except for the captain of the Knight Brigade and the captain of the First Brigade, they are all commanders of the legion.
Now that William has been promoted to a high-level professional, he should have been promoted to a senior official at the legion headquarters.
But now there are no vacancies in the Northern Army positions, and the only one who is not a high-level professional, Tengweisaman, is still William's old superior and senior officer. Moreover, Tengweisaman also broke through to the sixth level knight some time ago, and his real combat power is a little stronger than William.
After discussing with the new legion commander Zachary, William decided not to take office at the legion headquarters. Instead, just like the captain of the first brigade, he continued to work below.
Just after the birthday of the goddess, William was promoted to military rank and transferred to the third brigade as captain.
The military rank was promoted to major general. Looking at the entire Grant Kingdom, he was considered a heavyweight officer.
Counting the armies of the noble lords, the Grant Kingdom has more than thirty legions in total. Counting the reserve officers who have retired from active service and command the private armies of the nobles, the total number of major generals does not exceed 200.
As an ordinary person of civilian origin, his development in the military has reached its peak. Even if you are promoted to a ninth-level professional, it will be difficult to be promoted in the future.
For ordinary people and low-ranking nobles, the rank of major general or deputy commander is an invisible and intangible ceiling.
The commander of the main army must have inextricable connections with the royal family.
Although the previous Earl Martins was a minor nobleman in the north, he had served in the Royal Guards for more than ten years and served as a guard for a period of time. At that time, he was responsible for protecting Charles, who had not yet become the king. The prince is now the king's loyal supporter.
Zachary, the commander of this army, has a richer resume. He has served as the commander of the second-line army and served as the aide-de-camp of King Charles.
Only by breaking through the realm and being promoted to a legendary professional can one become a great noble and break through this ceiling.
After William advanced, the Harland family's influence increased.
On the birthday of the goddess, Powell and Uncle Bernie's children came to Fort William.
Sophia used the crystal ball to test their talents, and only Adrian, the eldest son of her second uncle, reached four points in mental power.
However, his elemental affinities are very average. Although it is a pity that he is learning magic, he may not develop very well.
Even if you work hard all your life, it is estimated that it will be difficult to break through to the fourth ring.
Adrian is one year younger than Richard, and he is already twenty years old after the goddess's birthday. He broke through as a high-level warrior student last fall. His warrior talent is about the same as Hayden's, considered above average, and slightly better than his eldest brother Ron.
Now that magic talent has been detected, his energy must be allocated to the magic field.
Whether he liked magic or not, the Harland family was extremely lacking in magical power.
As a member of a noble family, you must sacrifice your hobbies, even freedom, and marriage when necessary to contribute to the family.
Adrian has graduated from the Knight Academy and is preparing to join the Mad Lion Legion as a junior officer.
Now that his magic talent has been detected, it is impossible for his family to let him join the army.
After the goddess's birthday, she will learn meditation and temporarily join the first squadron to serve as a grassroots officer.
After getting the Breathing Technique of the Mad Lion Legion, Richard quickly completed the advancement.
This time the warrior advanced, he did not choose to add killing experience. Three months ago, Richard was not far away from becoming a warrior, with only a difference of 2,400 experience points.
He continued to practice the breathing method for three months, and as early as November, he had completed his experience.
After receiving the follow-up breathing method, Richard was successfully promoted to the fourth level without taking any medicine.
After being promoted to the fourth level, Richard's attribute panel changed.
Strength increased by 3 points, agility increased by 0.2 points, physical strength increased by 0.3 points, and mental strength also increased by 0.3 points.
In addition, in three months, Richard also learned a second-ring magic defense arrow.
Richard is a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts, a fourth-level warrior and a fourth-level magician. His true combat effectiveness may be stronger than that of his father, William.
The power of the Haaland family has grown tremendously in the past year.
After Richard married Sophia, he took control of three baronies. Although they belonged to three people in name, they had not yet been merged. William is an officer in the Northern Army, and Sophia is devoted to studying magic. In fact, Richard is in charge of everything.
According to the schedule this year, the construction of Sophia Castle was completed in the summer, and the construction of Iron Mountain Castle also started.
Powell knocked on the door and entered the room after hearing Richard's answer.
The room is hung with thick curtains, which are only opened when the light shines in at noon, and the windows are opened for ventilation.
Although the goddess's birthday has passed, it is still winter, and thick animal skins are still hanging on the windows.
The territory cannot produce large pieces of transparent glass, so this is the only way to keep warm in winter.
Even though the fireplace was burning and there was no sunlight for a long time, the house was still a little dark and moldy spots often appeared.
"Uncle Powell, I bought some Elf black tea at Black River Castle before the goddess's birthday. Sit down and taste some."
Richard poured a cup of Elf black tea for Powell.
The Morning Continent also has the habit of drinking tea, but the tea trees in this world are a little different from what Richard saw in his previous life.
After living in the Grant Kingdom for many years, Richard had only seen one kind of black tea.
This kind of black tea is also a first-level magic plant. It has a very rich taste, some bitter, some sour, and some sweet.
Drinking this tea regularly can slightly improve your mental energy and help you fall asleep quickly.
This kind of black tea also has medicinal value and can treat some diseases such as apathy.
The first people to pick this kind of tea were the elves in the Eastern Continent. Later, the elven black tea was successfully domesticated by magicians and transplanted in magic plantations. It was only in the past few hundred years that it spread to the aristocratic circles.
Because it is a magical plant, the price of Elf Black Tea is very high. A pound of Elf Black Tea costs eight gold coins.
The income of Harland's territory has increased significantly recently, and Richard only bought a few kilograms. It also needs to be supplied to Sophia, Wendy, and Adrian. If the four magicians drink black tea every day, they will consume more than 300 gold coins every year.
This expenditure is also a big burden for the Harland family, which is currently in embarrassment.
But drinking Elf Black Tea regularly is good for magicians. Even if you save money in other aspects, the investment in black tea cannot be reduced.
Strength is everything in the Northern Xinjiang region. As long as it can increase the family's strength, it is worth investing resources.
