The commoners’ questions also aroused the curiosity of the surrounding crowd.

One after another, they chimed in,

“Lord Maggie, please tell us.”

Maggie originally did not want to reveal this matter, but seeing that the surrounding crowd was very enthusiastic, he thought that since it wasn’t a secret, she would tell them today.

“Our benevolent mayor is preparing to build an enlightenment academy in the town. At that time, children under the age of 16 can enter the academy for free. It turns out that old Mr. Owen of Karev Castle’s tutor will temporarily be the acting president.”

Maggie’s words caused an uproar among the people present.

“My child is already ten years old. He only studied at Pastor Emily’s place in the church for a few days. After the academy is built, I will send him over. In the future, he might even be able to find a job in the city hall…” a woman who passed by the tavern door said excitedly.

“Lord Su Chen is really the reincarnation of the god of mercy. Otherwise, why would he treat us so well? Which other Lord is as considerate of the commoners as he is? We should erect a statue for the Lord!”

“That’s right. After Lord Su Chen took office, not only did he resist the onslaught of the monsters, he also eradicated the malignant tumor of the Karev family in the town. He’s simply the reincarnation of the Wise and mighty God of War!”

“And the newly built medical center today. I looked from a distance and saw that it was really a magnificent house! I heard that the medical center is also open to civilians, and it’s free! If you ask me, Lord Su Chen is the reincarnation of an angel!”

Hearing the people’s praise of Su Chen, Maggie was also very proud in his heart. After all, he was following the mayor, so he quickly said,

“There are many things that you don’t know. Lord Su Chen said that our town will definitely develop into a city in the future. We will also need to build a few water tankers to cultivate farmland before next spring…”

..

Maggie’s words were like throwing a stone into a calm lake.

The people in the tavern did not have the mood to drink and chat anymore. They paid the bill and went home, sharing the first-hand information they knew to their families and neighbors.

The impact of this notice and Maggie’s words was beyond his expectation. Among the people, Su Chen’s reputation skyrocketed.

That night.

In the castle.

After dinner, Su Chen absorbed all the combat aura that he had recovered during the day.

Originally, his combat energy training only happened once a day and was scheduled for every morning.

The tremendous pressure made him constantly try to squeeze out his potential.

After exhausting all of his aura, Su Chen returned to the bathroom upstairs to take a bath. While relaxing in the large wooden bucket, he was also thinking about his trump card against the alpha.

The first and most important force was the Glimmer Knights.

They could still easily deal with ordinary monsters and, but they had no way to deal with the level 3 alpha.

Continuous attrition might cause the cunning alpha to choose to escape mid-way. In that case, his quest would still be judged as a failure, so Su Chen put this idea aside for now.

In addition, the town’s defense had a defensive magic array, so the remaining magic stones were only enough for about three days. Even if the alpha attacked, Su Chen was confident that he could exhaust the alpha to death.

As for Su Chen’s own combat strength.

He now had over a dozen level 1 magic skills, which sounded like a lot, but most of them were beginner skills that could not deal any damage to the alpha.

To Su Chen’s relief, he found a few useful support skills, such as the weakening spell, gravity spell, wind walk spell, swamp spell, Spirit Halo, fire ring resistance, and so on.

Although these were beginner-level skills, the combined power of these skills could not be underestimated.

When fighting the alpha, Su Chen could buff himself and Kyle, and cast debuffs on the alpha. With each buff, the gap between the two sides would be much smaller.

Su Chen’s knight combat strength had already reached the late bronze stage.

As for the items, Su Chen had already stored the mutated anesthetic that the system had rewarded and the magic snake venom that the old hunter had brought. It was convenient for him to obtain it during such a situation.

“Hmm… I’ll go and communicate with Kyle again.”

Su Chen’s mind sank into the Knight Temple and he told Kyle about the trump cards that he had listed out.

“Respected master, if you can advance to a silver-tier Knight, you’ll be a powerful foe.”

“The battle of attrition that you mentioned is a very good method. Although the magical beast’s recovery speed is very fast, it will take at least a few days. We can continuously aggravate its injuries and then kill it in one hit!”

“You can also apply some snake venom and anesthetic on my weapon to test the effect.”

“Master, your magic skills can be used as a trump card in the final battle. I promise you with my honor that the alpha will die under your magic!”

Under Kyle’s flattery, Su Chen and Kyle discussed the basic strategy.

The two decided to attack and harass the alpha from the middle of the night three days before the final battle.

The alpha was too cunning. The frequent attacks and harassment in the middle of the battle would definitely make him wary. He might even eat all the silver bells and run away in advance.

The time of the final battle was set to be after Su Chen had advanced to a silver-level knight.

If Su Chen had not successfully advanced to a silver-level knight by the 25th day, he could not wait any longer. He had to carry out his plan.

After confirming the final plan in Kyle, Su Chen exited the temple. He had consumed a lot of energy and stamina today, so he lay down in the bathtub and fell into a deep sleep..

Evelyn did not see Su Chen in the room after she had finished preparing dinner. The door between the room and the bathroom was open.

“My lord should still be taking a shower…” Evelyn thought.

Su Chen did not have the habit of asking her for help when he was taking a shower, so Evelyn waited outside for a long time, but she did not hear Su Chen’s voice from inside.

She called out to him worriedly, but there was still no response.

My lord wouldn’t have any accidents, right?

Evelyn could not wait any longer. She sneaked into the bathroom through the small door next to the bedroom..
