Lord Evolution: Starting With SS-rank Skills

Within minutes of Rowan's arrival, the village square was filled to the brim with villagers, even though it was nighttime. Several campfires and torches were lit to illuminate the area—not a single person missed the arrival of their Lord, as it marked the beginning of a new era they couldn't afford to miss.

While the people gathered at the village square, Rowan approached the meeting house discreetly with the captains and Liara. Parked beside the meeting house was the carriage D'andre had gifted Rowan.

"Are you ready to meet them?" Rowan asked Liara with a smile.

Liara nodded, but she was a little confused as she observed the carriage, wondering how such a small structure could contain five adult women. It would be uncomfortably tight for children, let alone adults.

Even the captains couldn't help but question the possibility.

Rowan observed their worried and confused expressions and smiled. Walking closer to the carriage, he knocked on the door to inform Elara and company before opening it.

Instantly, their faces turned pale with shock as the magnificent interior of the carriage was revealed. Not only was the space inside unbelievably big, it was also very beautiful!

They could see decorative lights illuminating the room and big, beautiful, comfy beds that looked otherworldly in their beauty.

Elara and the other women, who were already alerted by Rowan's knock, stood at the entrance of the carriage with smiles on their faces. However, their expressions froze for a few seconds when they saw Liara, and immediately they ran out to hug her.

"Liara, you are alive!"

"It is good to see you back, Liara. Tell me, did those bastards do anything to hurt you?"

They hugged her and asked so many questions, their voices filled with concern.

Liara was overjoyed to be in the embrace of the people she had suffered with in Glenwood. She hugged them tightly, tears of joy streaming down her pretty face.

Rowan and the captains observed the emotional reunion with smiles. They let them have their moment.

After separating from the hug, Elara approached Rowan and hugged him as well. "Thank you for bringing her back and ending the suffering of our people, Rowan."

"I simply performed my duty as a lord; no need to thank me," Rowan replied, smiling as he accepted the hug.

After Elara stepped back, the others came and hugged him as well.

"It is time to reveal your presence to the people," he said with a smile after accepting their hugs.

They smiled and nodded before strolling toward the village square.

"Oh wait, appearing to the people in a grand, cool, superhero entrance wouldn't be bad at all!" he thought and suddenly stopped the others.

He suggested they take the carriage and ride toward the village square in it.

While this was mostly unnecessary, the desire to fulfill one of his grandest dreams didn't stop Rowan from doing it.

The village square was still buzzing with discussions and emotions when the loud, angelic neigh of horses echoed across the area, causing the people to tilt their heads backward.

They saw the mysterious horse-drawn carriage that had been resting beside the meeting house for a long time approaching them, and they quickly cleared a path for it.

The horses pulled the carriage forward at a fast pace, neighing as they moved.

The villagers watched the carriage with curious and confused eyes—they were only aware that it belonged to the mysterious angelic white-haired man, but what was he doing here?

The carriage stopped at the raised platform at the front of the village square. It halted in a position where the door was away from the curious eyes of the people.

As they watched, they heard the creaking sound of the carriage's door opening, and their eyes were almost blinded by the brightly shining light that blasted forth from the door. Even though they weren't facing the door directly, the light's intensity still amazed them.

"What is happening? Who is that? Is it that angelic man?" some of the young ladies whispered among themselves as they recalled the handsome face of D'andre and couldn't help but blush. If Rowan knew what these ladies were thinking right now, he would definitely lay curses upon D'andre.

The curious crowd remained silent and observed.

Rowan emerged from behind the carriage, his figure illuminated by the warm glow of torches surrounding the village square. His presence was commanding, his gaze steady as he walked toward the lifted platform. Every step he took resonated with purpose, and the villagers felt a surge of anticipation.

As he ascended the steps, a profound hush fell over the crowd. The night air became thick with emotion. Faces turned upward, eyes reflecting hope and admiration. Families held hands tightly, children peered from behind their parents, and elders nodded approvingly.

Reaching the top of the platform, Rowan stood tall, his silhouette noble against the starlit sky.

For a moment, silence reigned. Then, a lone voice thundered, "IT IS LORD ROWAN!"

It was followed by another thunderous chant of his name and then another, until the square erupted in a chorus of cheers and applause. The villagers began chanting his name.

"Hail Lord Rowan the blessed, the conqueror, and the greatest freedom fighter!"

The chants thundered across the place, and the emotions of the people intensified. Some of them stared at Rowan with their hands and heads lifted, tears dripping from their eyes.

Rowan observed with a calm smile on his face as he enjoyed the emotional moments.

[ All your villagers look at you with brilliantly shining eyes ]

[ All your villagers are emotional ]

[ Your followers see you as the ray of hope ]

[ You have broken your former record and obtained a new achievement for controlling the emotions of 4000+ people with your hard work; 40,000 evolution points have been rewarded ]

[ 100x rewards activated | 4,000,000 evolution points have been rewarded ]

As the emotions poured out from the people, so did Rowan's rewards.

The smile on Rowan's face brightened as he began waving at the people.

At a lonely corner of the crowd, Dragun observed Rowan with a proud smile on his face.
