After getting the life evolution potion, Richard immediately gave it to William.
After William asked the army's internal pharmacist to identify it and confirmed that there was no problem, he immediately took a period of leave and took the life evolution potion at home to prepare for the upgrade.
He has broken through the sixth level for many years and accumulated rich experience.
After taking the medicine for a short period of 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. In addition to 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 Legion positions. The only one who is not a high-level professional is Tengweisaman, who is 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 even better than William's.
Be stronger.
After discussing with the new legion commander Zachary, William decided not to take up the post at the legion headquarters. Instead, he would continue to work below like the captain of the first battalion.
Just after Christmas, William was promoted to military rank and transferred to the Third Battalion 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 with civilian background, his development in the military has reached its peak. Even if he is promoted to a ninth-level professional, it will be difficult for him to be promoted in the future.
For ordinary people and low-ranking nobles, the rank of major general and deputy commander of a regiment are invisible and intangible ceilings.
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 current commander of the 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.
Unless you can break through the realm and be promoted to a legendary professional, you can become a great noble and break through this ceiling.
After William advanced, the Harland family's influence increased.
At Christmas time, Powell and Uncle Bernie's children came to Fort William.
Sophia used a crystal ball to test their talents, and only her second uncle's eldest son Adrian's mental power reached four points.
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 is already twenty years old after Christmas. He broke through as a high-level warrior student last fall, and his warrior talent is about the same as Hayden's, considered above average, and better than his eldest brother Ron.
Now that magic talent has been detected, his energy must be allocated to the magic field.
Whether he likes magic or not, the Harland family is extremely lacking in magical power.
As a member of an aristocratic 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 Christmas, I have to learn meditation and temporarily join the first squadron to serve as a junior officer.
After receiving the Breathing Technique of the Mad Lion Legion, Richard quickly completed the advancement.
This time when 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 completed his experience as early as November.
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 practitioner of both magic and martial arts, a fourth-level warrior, and a fourth-level magician. His true combat power may be stronger than that of his father, William.
The power of the Haaland family has grown tremendously in the past year.
After Richard and Sophia got married, they took control of three baronies. Although they belonged to three people in name, they had not yet been merged. William was an officer in the Northern Army, and Sophia was devoted to studying magic. In fact, Richard was in charge of the management.
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. Only when the light shines in at noon will the curtains be opened and the windows opened for ventilation.
Although Christmas 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 it can only keep warm in winter.
Even though the fireplace is burning and there is no sunlight for a long time, the house is still a little dark and mildew often grows.
"Uncle Powell, I bought some elf black tea at Black River Castle before Christmas. Sit down and taste some."
Richard poured Powell a cup of elf black tea.
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 spread to the aristocratic circles in the past few hundred years.
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 greatly recently, and Richard has just purchased a few kilograms. He also needs to supply it to Sophia, Wendy, and Adrian. If the four magicians drink black tea every day, the gold coins consumed every year will exceed
Three hundred pieces.
This expenditure is also a big burden for the Harland family, which is currently in a dilemma.
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.
