( Sorry for the dummy and repeat chapter yesterday )
Rowan and ze spent the night in Winterseed II.
The people of Winterseed were very happy that their strong Lord was present. They felt a lot safer with him around.
Rowan went to check on Ren several times while in the vige.
His family became increasingly worried as time went by. They were scared they were going to lose their husband and father.
While Rowan tried his best to console them, he couldn''t really stop them from worrying about Ren.
To be honest, if anyone was experiencing this, one wouldn''t be able topletely stop them from worrying—unless they hated the person in question or they were the cause of his condition.
It was nighttime, and Rowan was currently sitting in a beautiful room with a look of contemtion on his face.
He recalled the words of Dragun a few days ago.
"There is and rich with everything you''d ever imagine—beautiful and big houses, blossoming farnds, mana, and everything you ever desire, even a mighty pce for the leader. Thisnd is at least twenty times bigger than this vige, including the farnds, so just imagine how big and spacious it is?"
The words of Dragun still yed in his head.
The description of the ce was like a dreand for every Lord since they wouldn''t have to build anything. And in such a ce, organizing and maintaining the territory would be really simple.
However, sadly, ording to Dragun, there was a lot of mystery surrounding thend.
''He said everyone in the ce suddenly disappeared and the cause is unknown,'' Rowan pondered.
''He mentioned that it might be that the people had migrated just like we''re nning now or some mysterious creature took or chased all of them away.''
Rowan recalled all the topics of the discussion with Dragun.
No matter what it takes, Rowan wants to move his people to that ce, and he needs the help of Dragun for it.
''I just hope it is migration and nothing else,'' Rowan thought with a sigh before opening his system and entering the novice ranking.

"Hmm, my rank has been shooting up pretty fast since the first hunt. It seems improving the soldiers contributes more to the novice ranking than anything. My power evolution was only able to increase my rank by 60, but the growth of soldiers is pushing the ranks pretty good. Who knows, maybe I''ll finally enter top three thousand when the soldiers are done with their first evolution," Rowan noted with a hopeful smile.
He checked his other stats.

Rowan studied his stats for a few seconds. He didn''t have enough free time in the past few days to analyze his character status.
"I don''t have much use for evolution points currently, let me evolve my skills," Rowan noted.
He immediately began improving the skills lower than A-rank.
[ Skill: Sword Grandmaster has reached its peak ----- de Saint (A) ]
[ Sword Saint: You be one with all ded weapons, chances of creating a new skill with ded weapons is 90% ]
[ Skill: Night Vision has reached its peak ----- Eclipse Sight (A) ]
[ Eclipse Eyes: Grants perfect vision in total darkness, uncovering hidden objects and invisible foes. ]
[ Skill: Herbal Knowledge has reached its peak ---- Herbal Sage (B) ]
[ Herbal Sage: Your understanding of herbs and their uses far transcend that of any herbalist. ]
[ Skill: Muscle strengthening has reached its peak ----- Muscle Man (B) ]
[ Muscle Man: Your body bes hard enough to resist simple physical attacks and exert more physical strength ]
Rowan went through a lot of improvements in a matter of minutes after improving all his skills.
His vision became so bright and clear in the room—he could spot the lines of ants moving in a corner of the room, he could even see the tiniest particles of sand.
He also felt that his knowledge of swords had improved greatly even without holding one. In his brain, it was as though a series of interesting and powerful sword moves had been installed.
Rowan took off his shirt and stared at his body, which had be so refined and muscr.
His muscles weren''t extremely big and bulky like professional bodybuilders on Earth, but just one look would inform onlookers that he was not someone to be messed with.
If he shouldpete in the highest level of boxing and wrestling, he would knock out ten opponents at once with just his physique.
As for his improved herbal knowledge, he didn''t have the chance to test that out tonight.
With nothing to do, Rowan spoke to Ri telepathically and ensured she was alright before going to sleep.
ze had already returned to the divine beast in.

Time flew by, and the next morning quickly arrived.
Rowan was awoken by themotion outside.
He could hear the voices of the people screaming "Savior" and immediately knew who it was.
Rowan went to have his bath quickly before going outside to wee Dragun.
"Ri told me about the dream mixture. Where is it? Did someone in this vige take the concoction? Who is it?"
Dragun shot Rowan with a series of questions the moment he spotted him.
Rowan did not bother speaking and led him to Ren.
Dragun first greeted Maryanne and her daughters before going to Ren.
Dragun inspected his body and even tried to use healing magic, but just like Liara, it failed to activate.
A frown stered on his face, he turned to Rowan and signaled they should go out of the room.
"This is not a coincidence anymore. The creature is involved!"
