Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

Chapter 333 - 164 Kael: I’m Still Used to Talking with the Elegant Elder Sister (10K, 54/76)_6

He vaguely remembered Cai Ketongshen proudly telling them earlier that his leader’s charisma could support the recruitment of more than 7,200 natives, and his personal charisma could support 231 natives joining.

This number was quite high among the many lord-line players. Some players with relatively low personal charisma could support the recruitment of 50 natives into their follower list, which was already considered a lot.

As for Cai Ketongshen’s leader’s charisma, Kael preferred to call it "money ability."

Just think about it. In his previous life, didn’t Kael succumb to that house in Jiangdong and the large signing fee, and decisively choose to vote with his feet?

He glanced at the data above and was suddenly stunned.

The leader’s charisma was enough to support the recruitment of 134,544 natives. This number far exceeded his expectations. He carefully pondered whether he was a qualified lord.

The answer was undoubtedly "of course"!

But was he worthy of such a large number of natives trusting his leader’s charisma?

He thought about it, and although he was now very well-known among the rangers, and even had a great reputation in the Royal Capital, it was still not enough to match the recruitment of 134,544 natives.

However, he quickly realized that the actual increase in these numbers was mainly due to two other reasons.

The first reason, without a doubt, was his current achievements in spell theory and magic potion theory.

The extremely effective research ability demonstrated through combinations of various conditions, such as Dark Knowledge, had indeed garnered recognition from many people in the mage domain, as well as from many professionals in magic potion and alchemy studies.

At least in certain subfields, many had heard his name. Perhaps in another decade or so, his name might even be included in the textbooks of major magic academies.

This was a significant reason. Competent scholars always attracted a large following. Taken to the extreme, if one also wielded some force, they might even reproduce the miracle of "Lunyu."

But even this did not compare to the major reason for his leader’s charisma—

The candidacy for Duke of the Duchy of Ingelance!

This title was the core factor that allowed Kael to recruit so many people into his follower list.

His gaze turned to the personal charisma count below the leader’s charisma.

He thought it was not too much to expect his personal charisma to exceed Cai Ketongshen’s by at least 300 people, right?!

After all, he was an Incubus!

And then he saw the jaw-dropping number of followers—

8,300!!!

This number was truly astonishing. To be honest, if it weren’t for the fact that Cai Ketongshen from his previous life couldn’t stand before him, Kael would definitely have pointed at his nose and laughed loudly.

"Just this? Personal charisma worth 231 people, just this?"

"Let me tell you in secret, your charisma isn’t even a fraction of mine!"

If he truly said such things, Cai Ketongshen would likely touch his nose, then curse "scoundrel" before turning to dock his own salary. Experience tales with NovelBin.Côm

134,544 + 8,300 = 142,844! Even an elementary school student taught by a PE teacher knew this calculation.

Just joking, the entire Lancaster population now under his direct control probably didn’t even reach this number.

It could be said that Kael wouldn’t need to worry about this matter for a long time to come.

He was preparing to bring all the crucial military support—the rangers—into his followers, but momentarily stopped after a pause.

Excluding the newly started training of the Wolf Cavalry, most of the rangers in the territory were veterans.

Even the rangers controlled by Willfo, who faced relatively fewer battles stationing in Titan City, regularly rotated out to clear large beasts and monsters around the city.

Recently, he heard multiple complaints from players on the forums, saying that their plans to kill rare monsters were interrupted by rangers who suddenly appeared to deliver the finishing blows.

These battle-hardened warriors were very aware of their own physical state. Because of this, they felt immensely grateful when Kael granted them Symbiotic Armor.

For it was rare for them to tangibly feel the power in their hands, allowing them to control their future fate.

The joy of having such control was inescapable, and their loyalty to Kael, who granted them this rapid growth in strength, was incomparable.

Because they were so seasoned, they were intimately familiar with every bit of the power they gained, and how fast their strength increased.

Kael was sure that if he agreed to their recruitment now, these brave warriors would quickly notice the anomalies after some battles.

This made him seriously consider how to provide an explanation.

Even if he gave no explanation, no ranger would stand up and say they didn’t want this power.

Surely people wouldn’t believe that just by following their lord, they could become infinitely stronger, right?

He had to find a reason, a reasonable enough reason.

So...

Kael shook a bell, and Hassaka knocked on the door. After getting Kael’s permission, he walked in.

"Young Master, do you have any arrangements?"

"Get Willfo over here; I have some things for him to handle."

Soon, Willfo arrived in the study.

"Lord, is there anything you need me to do?" Willfo performed a knight’s salute as soon as he entered the study.

Kael shook his head, signaling Willfo, whose expression was tense, to sit on the sofa in the newly built study, before smiling and saying:

"Willfo, how do you feel about the past six months dealing with the undead?"

Perhaps because Kael’s gentle voice slightly eased Willfo’s strained expression, a rare smile appeared on his face, and he said somewhat helplessly:

"Lord, you know, those undead are always very troublesome. Especially with such significant changes in the territory recently, even now, those undead are still pestering the soldiers below, asking about the situation."

Kael laughed, "But most of the time, communicating with those undead is quite pleasant, isn’t it?"

Willfo, his memories stirred by Kael’s laughter, showed a barely noticeable smile and raised his voice a bit:

"In many ways, those undead are very strange... They don’t die, seem never to get angry, always trying to get me to assign them tasks, not wanting revenge, and sometimes even trying to sneak into residential areas. Each time we catch them to warn them, they just laugh it off without caring."

"But..."

"But?" Kael asked deliberately.

"Getting along with them" ...
