My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start

81-85

Chapter 81: The Recruitment of Mages
Watson’s reward ceremony ended very quickly. Then, the three handmaidens were sent to Allen and the other two to sign the master-servant contract.

In addition to the manor and the handmaidens, Watson also rewarded Allen and the other two men with 100 Rainbow Phoenix Chicken eggs each. Then, the ceremony had ended. Watson left after he delivered an encouraging speech to the other knights.

When Watson’s figure disappeared into the castle hall, the Blackmoon Knights burst into a discussion.

“I’m so envious of Captain Allen. The Zangwill Manor he chose is a well-known manor! It has flowerbeds and grasslands that cost a lot of money to cultivate. The air is fresh, which is helpful for cultivation. Even if it’s not for cultivation, the medicinal herbs in the flowerbed are also worth a lot of money.”

One of the guards looked at Allen; his tone could not hide his envy.

“I prefer Vice-Captain Liszt’s choice, the Wilber Liszt Manor. Oh, it should be called the Liszt Manor Now! If I can get this manor, I can bring my family with me, and occasionally invite guests too. How grand would that be?” another guard said.

“Look at William’s silly smile! I’m sure he didn’t pick that cute and cuddly servant girl to do housework. How hateful! William looks like that, but he got a woman before us! I wonder if the servant girl would be able to stand him?”

The few men gathered together and cursed William in their hearts; they gnashed their teeth in hatred.

“Alright, stop talking about it! We have many people coming to Blackmoon Castle these days. We need to double our efforts in training and patrols to ensure there is no trouble. If any of you drag me down and embarrass the Blackmoon Knights, then don’t blame me for being rude.”

As he listened to the discussions around him, Allen glanced at the obedient and silent servant girl beside him. He waved his hand and spoke in a dignified manner.

“Yes, Captain!”

The guards at the scene responded one after another.

After they saw Watson’s generous reward, they would take the initiative to work hard. Sometimes, actions were better than words. They were the same; there was no reason other people could get the rewards, and they could not. No one would be willing to accept it.

..

After they left the castle hall, Watson told Capella to arrange work for the other servants. After he left them to familiarize themselves with the castle environment, he walked down the stairs to a room on the second floor.

That room was reserved for his second sister, Nindy, and her best friend, Indix.

Ever since they had killed Folson, the mages who had been with him had stayed behind in Blackmoon Castle. It was not that they did not want to return to the Mage Guild, but that they could not go back.

Every silver-tier mage was a precious asset to the Mage Guild. Unfortunately, there were only more than ten silver-tier mages in the whole of Monte Town, especially for a mage like Folson, who had a chance to advance to gold-tier; he was a treasure.

If Folson had died in a ruins exploration or to a magical beast, then the guild would still be able to accept that. It was a pity that he had died at the hands of those in Blackmoon Castle. So, they could not let those mages go in case they would report about what had happened. However, the mages were also afraid to go back. Even if someone else had killed Folson, it was still their fault because they did not stop it. The guild would punish them.
