Age Of Islands: I Can See Through All Things Chapter 28

Jack waved his hand and called over Snike, who was at the side, and said, "Leave some people behind to seal this place. Tell the regiment commander that this is refined salt. Tell him to retrieve it on the spot. After he's done, send it to the castle."
Snike as he patted his chest: "Yes, Mr. President."
Jack nodded as he said: "You've done a good job this time, Snike. Tell me what you want."
Upon hearing Jack's words, Snike hurriedly knelt down and said, "Mr. President, I don't dare to have any requests. I just want to try my best to bring you a surprise."
After hearing what Snike said, Jack smiled.
What a wonderful person!
He had the disposition of a tycoon in Jack's previous life.
Furthermore, he had done a good job. This was a pleasant surprise and showed that Snike was worth nurturing.
Then Jack activated the Inspection skill.
[Name: Snike]
[Race: Human]
[Class: None]
[Level: None]
[Loyalty: 92]
[Note: Snike is a pitiful hunter. He angered the aristocrats by accident and was treated as a slave after being taken down. After the aristocrats declined, he thought that he would be reborn, but did not expect to be sold off again. After meeting the host while deep in despair, he was given trust and responsibility, causing him to feel the warmth of the world again.]
After reading the information, Jack inadvertently nodded.
This loyalty was already higher than Eugene at the start.
If handled properly, it was very likely to produce another person with full loyalty.
But how should he raise it?
With his current status, Snike was already considered to be in a high position.
If he was assigned to do some miscellaneous tasks, his loyalty would be wasted.
However, after the exploration of the island was completed, because he was just an ordinary person, the exploration of the island in the future might not require him anymore!
Suddenly, Jack had an idea.
He said to Snike, "After you finish drawing the map of the island, go report to the training team. I hope that the next time I see you, you'll be an official member."

Jack had his reasons.
First of all, Snike was not very old.
Furthermore, he had rich scouting experience.
The only regret was that his strength could not keep up.
Therefore, if he was nurtured well, in the future, when investigating the island, this would be a sharp blade!
This would save him the trouble of training new swordsmen to be the leader of the scouting troop.
In addition, he had highland barley, so there was no pressure to raise a person to a Silver Swordsman.
For Jack, this was a win-win situation!
Upon hearing the president's words, Snike knelt down excitedly and loudly expressed his loyalty.
As the leader of the Hunter Squad, he knew that his role would be lost once the island was fully explored!
Once he could not display any more value, he would be forgotten sooner or later.
Hence, he had long wanted to join the training team. It was just that he had been busy and did not have the time.
Furthermore, he was reluctant to part with his current power!
Previously, he was just an ordinary hunter, but now he had dozens of subordinates. That might was enough to let an ordinary person grow to a very high level.
The president's words opened a path for him.
That was, as long as he completed his training and entered the ranks of official members, he would very likely become the leader of the Hunter Squad again.
This was not a joke. After all, the choice was obvious when choosing between an experienced subject who was used to the role and an unknown newcomer!
That was why Snike was so excited!
Because Jack's words gave him another chance to advance!
However, that would depend on whether he could persevere.
Soon, Jack left a Gold Swordsman behind and asked him to help the hunters capture the Salt Pool Beach Sheep. Then, Jack left with his men.
Back in the night, Cyril came looking for him.
Looking at Cyril, Jack asked, "Cyril, are you ready?"
"Yes, Mr. President, I've already learned all the skills you've taught me," Cyril replied as he knelt down.

"That's right!" Jack nodded before saying, "Stand up, Cyril. Your test will happen now."
"Yes, Mr. President." Cyril stood up with his head held high, and his disposition had completely changed.
Eugene could not help but sigh.
Eugene was familiar with Cyril.
As the captain, he had jurisdiction over all the Silver Swordsmen under the president, so he naturally knew all of them.
Cyril's abilities were only average, and he had been sold to a slave club due to his poor aptitude.
His life instantly fell into hell.
He had thought that this was the end of his life. He would either die in one battle or the next.
So he had long since accepted his fate, and he no longer resisted. He was somewhat muddle-headed, unwilling to make any further progress.
But from the looks of it now, that lazy, sloppy Cyril had completely disappeared!
At this moment, he was like a victorious peacock, like a student who had just stepped into society. At this moment, he was filled with anticipation for his life.
Eugene could not help but praise.
Indeed, the president had too many tricks up his sleeve!
Every single thing he produced could change the people in this world!
He was really glad that he was chosen by the President!
Eugene also swore to himself that he would master the skill that changed Cyril so drastically!
Naturally, Jack had no idea that Eugene was suddenly thinking so much at that moment.
He looked at Cyril, who had already prepared himself, and nodded slightly. Not to mention anything else, his disposition and actions had already reached the standard.
To be able to keep his head up and chest out at all times was impossible without a lot of perseverance!
At the thought of this, Jack immediately said, "Cyril, stand at attention!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cyril nimbly stepped forward, swung his hands by his side, and instantly puffed up his chest with a proud expression on his face.
Jack observed closely, Cyril's actions made him nod.
This was a good talent!
He moved with such precision. Jack had only mentioned it once, so he did not expect him to understand it so quickly. Furthermore, he did it very well!
Obviously, he had put in a lot of effort during this period of time.
Jack came up behind Cyril and patted his joint hard with his hand, but the latter held his stance firmly.
He tugged on his hand again and pressed tightly against Cyril.
The rest, such as the waist, back, and shoulders, had all reached the standard.
Jack waited for a few minutes, but Cyril did not make any movements at all. At this point, he knew that Cyril had mastered the art of standing at attention!
This was the core of the entire set of movements.
Only when the posture was done well could the other movements be standardized!
This was what the instructor had told him.
Seeing that it was about time, Jack said, "Cyril, stand at ease!"
In an instant, Cyril's arms went behind his back and his feet were quickly spread apart. He kept his upper body still and completed the movement swiftly.
Jack checked Cyril's movements again and found no mistakes.
Then, Jack shouted again, "Cyril, stand at attention, stand at ease."
Cyril still completed Jack's commands perfectly.
"Well done, Cyril. Next, we will assess your marching." Jack said in advance.
Cyril nodded.
The two of them practiced for a long time in the castle, and Cyril's performance was indeed exceptional. It was quite apparent that he had put in a lot of effort!
Especially his perfectly standard actions, it made Jack blush with shame!
After the inspection was completed, Jack officially decided to assign Cyril his duties!
