Chapter 940: The Experiment is Complete, Congratulations Everyone

However, it was too late to say anything now.

Even knowing there was a problem.

The moment this emblem appeared on the back of his hand, he had already fallen into the pit.

Now Kevin could only pray that this pit was at least not the kind that would instantly bury him alive.

So, there was only one thing Kevin could do now...

"Your Excellency Marquis, this is..."

Kevin looked at Lan Qingyou floating outside the magic array with a confused face.

That's right.

Now Kevin only wanted to do one thing.

After all, this matter was no longer 'someone else's business' to him now.

"Close your eyes, then mobilize your magic power and feel the back of your hand with your heart, and you'll know."

Lan Qingyou immediately gave the answer.

And Kevin also immediately did so.

After all, the hint Lan Qingyou gave wasn't anything complicated.

When he mobilized his own magic power to his left hand, he immediately discovered something unusual.

Rows of text appeared in his mind.

Although it wasn't very neat, not even the headers were aligned.

But every single word was very clear.

He could 'read' and understand it at a glance.

[Individual Name: Kevin Francis]

[Status: Healthy]

[Profession: Highest Executive Officer of Maple Leaf Territory]

[Affiliation: Maple Leaf Knights]

[Skills: Management, Logistics, Language... Etiquette]

[Magic: Fireball, Ring of Fire... Magic Power Mobilization]

This...

What was going on?

When he saw this series of texts clearly, Kevin was completely dumbfounded.

His own information appeared in his mind.

That's right, he could be very certain that whether it was the skills or the magic listed, they were all things he had learned in his entire fifty-plus years of life.

His position was also indeed the Highest Executive Officer of Maple Leaf Territory.

Although he didn't know why he, an executive officer, would be assigned to the Maple Leaf Knights, which was still just a rumor.

But this was undoubtedly something that wasn't in his brain before.

The back of his left hand.

The alchemy experiment.

Today's magic array...

Undoubtedly, all this pointed to these things.

'So that's how it is. So that's how it is.'

'Is this Her Excellency the Marquis's experiment?'

Directly displaying one's own situation inside a person's brain.

This was indeed a way to most directly see oneself clearly.

But what use was this?

In his view, the only benefit of this display method was being able to clearly see one's current physical condition.

That's right, just that 'Status' column.

After all, if he got sick or injured, he should be able to see it most intuitively here.

But if it was just this, there was absolutely no need for Lord Lan Qingyou to organize such a large scale.

That was ten thousand people!

A full ten thousand people!

Other Alchemists' experiments maxed out at one or two hundred people.

Not to mention Lan Qingyou had previously promised that once the experiment succeeded, these ten thousand people would instantly become members of the Knight Order on the spot.

Let's not even talk about the experiment itself for a moment.

There was a world of difference between ten thousand people and ten thousand Knight Order members.

If they were simply experimenters, he just needed to manage their food, drink, and accommodations.

But once they became Knight Order members.

Then it wouldn't just be these things.

Weapons, armor, training, mounts, etc...

The logistics index would multiply by at least ten times.

Based on the current population of roughly two hundred thousand in the entire Maple Leaf Territory.

Twenty-odd people would have to support one knight.

It could be said that this was fundamentally a logistics black hole.

Although everyone knew Alchemists were rich.

This one was even such a genius that she directly obtained a territory before even obtaining a title.

But even with money, it couldn't be used like this.

Thinking about it this way, the other party definitely had a deeper meaning.

Even his affiliation being the Maple Leaf Knights definitely had some thought from Lord Lan Qingyou behind it.

Especially under the premise that she had him come up first to 'receive' the experimental results during today's verification.

Thus...

"Your Excellency Marquis, some information about myself has appeared in my mind. I wonder if there is some necessary connection between this and the emblem on the back of my hand?"

That's right.

The smart and knowledgeable Kevin chose to step forward and act as a 'straight man' for Lan Qingyou.

After all, he was an old hand who had mingled in officialdom for so long.

He could still keenly detect what his superior wanted.

"Good question!"

Lan Qingyou clapped her hands.

Asmacksound.

It was very crisp.

But the ten thousand people in the camp heard it clearly.

It instantly focused everyone's scattered attention onto herself.

Mental Magic.

Although it couldn't be called an attack.

It was close enough.

After all, these guys were previously just landless farmers, bankrupt artisans, merchants, fishermen, or some sort of spies.

There was even a small portion among them who were noble descendants without inheritance rights, holding the mentality of wanting to join the Knight Order.

Even if they knew today was the day the promise would be fulfilled.

Wanting them, who had undergone no training, to have any organization was fundamentally impossible.

So she could only use this method.

Although it was a bit rough, the effect was not bad.

Moreover, as a Witch, Lan Qingyou's control over magic power was terrifying.

So the attack only reached the effect of 'refreshing'.

Far from reaching the degree of causing harm.

Upon seeing everyone looking at her, Lan Qingyou slowly took out a magical megaphone.

"I believe everyone has guessed it. That's right, I can very certainly tell everyone that after two months of hard work, the experiment has concluded."

"And the conclusion of the experiment means that from now on, everyone has officially become a member of the Maple Leaf Knights."

"Congratulations, everyone."

Lan Qingyou used an unhurried and very indifferent tone.

And the ten thousand people below, upon hearing the experiment had concluded and they had just become Knight Order members just like that.

Smiles of relief appeared on every face.

After all, it was an experiment.

With experiments, there was the possibility of death.

Although many people came with the determination to die.

But who didn't want to live?

Especially when they could become Knight Order members.

This meant they could say goodbye to their previous destitute and wandering lives.

This was especially true for those noble descendants without inheritance rights.

One must know that although their families were nobles.

There were differences between nobles.

Especially lower-ranking nobles like most viscounts, barons, and knights.

If they didn't branch out from a large family, then the place they managed was just a village similar to Fern Grass Village.

To put it more unpleasantly, they were just village chiefs.

Whether it was taxation or anything else, they couldn't be compared to large families.

So many descendants of lower-ranking nobles would seek a living elsewhere after reaching adulthood.

Becoming merchants or mercenaries was the norm.

So joining a Knight Order like this was definitely the best path upward.

But just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

They saw a person fly up...
