CHAPTER 583: CHAPTER 264: LIFE

Night Watcher Town.

A year or two ago, it was still a place for refugees, but now they are living peacefully here.

On the streets of the town.

There’s a shop that specializes in selling fresh fruits and vegetables.

Interestingly, the owner of the shop is not a Half-Elf, but a human woman.

"I’ve brought the delivery." A lively girl’s voice came through.

Vier pushed a cart filled with fresh fruits and vegetables, seemingly transported from elsewhere.

Beside her was an aunt in her fifties.

"You’ve come, today’s vegetables are very fresh." The woman stood up with a smile and said.

Vier giggled, revealing her big white teeth: "Of course, it’s a big harvest today."

"I heard the Kingdom has recovered quite a bit, so the demand for food isn’t as high anymore," said the aunt.

"Is that so? I’ve been hearing those news lately too."

Saying this, she started moving the vegetables onto the shelves.

"I’ll help you." Vier began to move as well.

"Vier is such a good child." The woman smiled, reaching out to pat Vier’s head.

Watching this scene, the aunt suddenly asked, "Do you want to go back?"

The composition of the residents here is very complicated.

The earliest batch were naturally the families of the soldiers from the Safro Kingdom, belonging to Count Vainsha’s subjects.

A large number of later refugees came from the Cohen Kingdom and some refugees from the Safro Kingdom who had fled to the Cohen Kingdom.

For the refugees from the Safro Kingdom, this place is almost like a new home, since their former homeland had long become a land of disaster.

But for those from the Cohen Kingdom, it’s a different story.

The Cohen Kingdom is a normal country, much more stable than Safro, and it’s been around for about 300 years.

For the refugees from the Cohen Kingdom, that place truly is the ancestral land, the genuine hometown.

They’ve been here for just a year or two.

Now that the territories of the Cohen Kingdom have been restored, the possibility of returning for them is very high.

Unexpectedly, the woman shook her head decisively.

"Why go back?" she asked.

While arranging the vegetables she said, "I heard from the Night Watchers, apart from the cities, the reclaimed territories are now mostly ruins.

I lived in Laka Town, which was long burned to ruins by the fire, going back would just be desolate land.

It’s quite nice here, isn’t it?"

On one hand, life in Night Watcher Town is indeed excellent, material satisfaction is immense, especially for the civilians who have spent most of their time maintaining basic survival, it can be described as perfect.

Not to mention there’s absolute security provided by military power, the civilians living here somewhat understand the blessings from Night Watchers.

Having seen the abilities of Night Watchers, they now regularly recruit and train some new soldiers.

Unless they’re foolish, anyone can see the prospects here.

As for the dangers of war, would there be no war in the Cohen Kingdom?

Wars are always present, periods of peace and calm are rare.

Not to mention, the Night Watchers are still relatively new, only a few years old, still in their development phase, filled with vitality.

Coupled with endless energy, they have strong resistance against basic dangers.

This makes the Night Watchers’ vitality almost about to overflow.

In addition to immense material satisfaction, various innovative capabilities and goals are everywhere.

Having met the needs for survival, even the sense of accomplishment in self-improvement is rapidly satisfied.

Moreover, the foundation of Night Watchers is to combat evil, doing deeds with strong legitimate justice.

This leads to an overwhelmingly positive atmosphere among the Night Watchers.

Besides, there indeed is a certain pressure, always looming overhead.

This results in Night Watchers being filled with abundant virtues, and when surrounded by such virtues, even those with dark intentions are often influenced.

For these ordinary civilians, the allure here is akin to a candle in the dark night.

They can’t resist the attraction, unconsciously following the flame in the dark.

Just like the emblem of the Night Watchers.

The aunt nodded in agreement: "Indeed, it’s nice to stay here."

However, speaking of which.

There are still those who can’t abandon their homeland.

The number is quite considerable, with three to four hundred people gradually leaving.

For this, the leadership of Night Watchers hasn’t placed any hindrances, even providing convenience.

After all, their return is back to the Cohen Kingdom.

Back to the reclaimed lands.

That still can be considered the territory of Night Watchers.

"Dong! Dong!"

The crisp sound of the bell rings.

Vier, who was humming a melody while helping with the vegetables, suddenly turned her head.

"Ah! It’s already time, Aunt Aria, I have to go! Mili sister will see you tomorrow!"

Saying this, she hurriedly ran out.

"Slow down!" Aunt Aria reminded.

Mili, who was tidying up the shelves, realized something and exclaimed in surprise: "Has Vier become a new soldier of Night Watchers?"

After all, those sensitive to the bell and act so eagerly are only the new soldiers of the Night Watchers.

The first bell of the day is the signal for gathering, to train and learn at the Training Camp.

Of course, it’s also the time many children start school.

Aunt Aria smiled and nodded: "That girl is very hardworking; she was once rescued personally by the Leader.

I heard when she was young, she was even locked in a cage with Lord Bobo."

"Really?" Hearing such strange gossip, Mili immediately perked up, leaning in to ask.

This certainly isn’t fake.

Vier was the little girl Kana rescued in Riverbend Town a few years ago, the one who nearly ended up in the stomach of rats.

...

"Vier, slow down."

A Night Watcher Light Guardian patrolling the street said to Vier who ran past like the wind.

"Got it, Uncle Aken."

A Night Watcher called Aken, watching Vier’s silhouette, couldn’t help but smile.

"This girl has grown up, look at that bright smile, how wonderful."

"You know her?" asked a young Night Watcher beside him.

He had just graduated from the Training Camp, reaching Level Three Apprentice.

Now, the positions within Night Watchers are very clearly divided.

Levels 1 to 3, all are new soldiers training in the Training Camp.

Once reaching Level Three, the maximum level where training can’t increase experience anymore.

At this point, they smoothly graduate and become Apprentices.

Levels 4 to 5 belong to Official Members.

Level 6 is considered Captain.

Of course, there are still quite a few Captains at Level Five.

Level 6 and above, with strength verified, qualifies them for the title Combat Master.

Being stronger than Combat Masters and having a certain strategy and rich experience, they can become Tactical Masters.

Further advancement or having special abilities, they can become leaders of various departments, etc.

Although Secondary Professions have different categorizations, they’re similar to regular combat professions.

Apprentices, Members, Masters.

Above Level 6 is collectively called Master, but there are differences between Masters.

Levels 1 to 3 are Apprentices.

Simple, direct, easy to distinguish, Secondary Professions have such a straightforward division; having the skill level directly promotes them.
