273 Wounded Strangers from the Wild Portal (1/2)

The younger one had sharp facial features as if he was a short-tempered individual. He had short hair rich in volume, tied on the midsection like bundled reeds, that reached up to his shoulders.

The older man had long flowing hair that reached his waist. If it weren't for the overflowing masucilinity coming off from his body, he could be mistaken as a girl due to his calm-innocent appearance.

Both of them were unconscious, lying down on the town plaza. They wore black and white kimono soaked with blood from the cuts and bites all over the limbs. Some dried blood didn't even belong to them.

Based on their facial appearance and the way they dressed, these two appear like they were some commoners from the medieval times.

As the town manager, Luke Baslot was forced to deal with the matter. There was no one who could make decisions on the military camp since they were all reserve soldiers and in no right position to interfere.

Luke decided to help the two strangers but kept them under surveillance at all times. He also informed Gilbert about it since he was the only person he could really ask for help at the moment.

Instead of hurrying to get medicine and treat the two, Gilbert ordered the reserve soldiers to bring their bodies towards the river.

From then on, people witnessed the powers that humans could achieve.

With a sway of his arms, a small tide of water was forced to the riverbank and enveloped the wounded bodies. Together with additional energy and intent, he was able to relieve the pain and give a slight recovery to the two strangers.

Although he knew that it would work, Gilbert was still surprised when it actually happened. Black Haven's research was available exclusively to trustworthy people. As the head of the town that takes care of the Tree of Life, old and new discoveries were available to him.

Most of the skills originate from something, then branches out to do another thing. One could also learn a different variety of skills and the only requirement would be one's intention.

With water's healing nature, Gilbert tried and succeeded.

Afterward, the unconscious youngsters were brought to the military camp to be watched.

Gilbert told Luke to inform Evo about the event and everyone went back to their posts.

The arrival of random people through the red portals raised awareness of possible unfortunate events that could happen and future security breaches.

With the event as a reminder, Evo was able to convince Jun to recruit more soldiers to defend their towns.

Not everyone is interested to die and work as a soldier.

Unless one has something to protect or you have high enough benefits for people to consider it.

With around seven thousand people in total, he had a good reputation over six thousand of them. Recruiting would become much easier if he raised the salary since people would be willing to take the risk.

And he planned to do it.

Raising the soldier's salaries, more benefits; insurance and the like.

In the first place, he doesn't need to worry about running out of money.

Worst case scenario, inflation could happen and he just needs to increase the price of essential things. No one could really argue since he had control over weapon and food productions for the entire region.

But there were things that must be announced first.

When passing by Angono to create an outpost for Taytay, Jun met with Marvin and was given a piece of great news.

The new laws were finally finished.

Rene Galacia produced a set of laws that also acts as a contract.

There were two sets of laws.

For the civilians and for the army.

Rene Galicia's newly composed laws were of the same nature as the old government's laws. His version just heavily emphasizes the citizenship of an individual.

In general, the new proposed laws revolve around several things.
