Every summer, mercenaries and adventurers from all over the continent will first gather in Aiden, where the recruiter will first screen out the qualified ones, and then let them go to Longyan Castle in batches, and accept the recruitment hosted by the commanders of each corps. .Participants are allowed to use their own weapons, including magic devices and props. The only thing that is not allowed is cheating, disguising and taking the test. Once found, they will never be hired.

In order to seize a good position, many mercenaries lined up 200 meters away from the fortress before dawn.Further forward is the training ground of each regiment surrounded by wood.Following Gonzalez's instructions, Link approached the mercenary from the very edge. He was wearing a gray cloak, deliberately hiding his breath, and was inconspicuous in the early morning twilight.

Finding an empty corner outside the crowd, Link sat down and looked through the inheritance.The skill has been selected, but he hasn't had time to see how much the attribute has increased.

力量16+4，敏捷16+2，智力8，感知24+4，体质8+2。

I don't know how these numbers are calculated.

The crowd suddenly burst into cheers. Link looked up and saw that the gate of the fortress was opened, and a group of soldiers in standard uniforms came out one after another. Claudia was in the first row, followed by a middle-aged man with a beard. Gonzalez was the last one, followed by a mage in a red robe, and a fat man with a chubby figure was the last one.

Five people lined up, and behind them were the group leaders of each regiment.Link heard someone talking about their duties, Claudia the scout, Burundi the infantry, Gonzalez the dragoon, and Otto the logistics officer. Commander Alex usually doesn't attend such scenes, and the Dawn Sect stationed The Avengers won't make an appearance either.

The team leaders stepped forward and shouted the names of their respective legions. The mercenaries who were originally lined up pushed each other forward. The collision of limbs caused quarrels, and some even fought on the spot.

"You! You! And you!" The team leaders stretched their hands, climbed over the three-meter-high fence, and patted the quarreling mercenary's head with their hands, "Don't try, just get out!"

The noisy crowd became much quieter at once, while those who were already wrestling together and who refused to give in were pulled away directly, and those who refused to let go were kicked a few times immediately.

"You can go too. Longyan Fort recruits mercenaries who are willing to obey discipline, not hooligans."

Link put away the inheritance and walked towards the scout group with only a few people.

Claudia saw the young man recommended by Gonzales at a glance. His breath was very erratic, like a beast in the mountains. Yesterday, he was only talking to Gonzales, but he didn't notice that his pet was a Wind Falcon.

Interesting, actually raising magical creatures, this kid is quite exciting.At least... better than the ones here.

Looking at the mercenaries who came to apply for scouts, Claudia couldn't help but feel disappointed. After the northern campaign started, the best rangers all went north, and even most of the half-elves in the fortress went. If the orcs choose A pincer attack will definitely be a fierce battle.

Gonzalez sees Link, takes a quick glance and then looks away.In front of so many people, too much attention would only kill him.After the conscription is over, I have to explain to the commander that I violated discipline and brought an outsider back.

The recruiting requirements of each regiment are different, and the mage is required to be able to release spells above level [-].The Dragoon is to test whether you are afraid of heights and beasts.The infantry is the simplest, divided into groups of ten, and the two teams fight each other, and the winners stay until they are eliminated and the satisfactory candidates for each team leader are selected.The most troublesome thing is the scouts, who not only require archery to pass the level, but also compete with luck and intuition.

The wailing of the losers sounded in the training ground one after another. Those who were selected received the five gold coins promised in the recruitment propaganda on the spot. The monthly salary was at least three gold coins. The compensation was distributed according to the severity of the injury. Up to a one-time [-] pension.

This is also a bit ridiculously high...

Although the money in the game is worthless, and all kinds of materials for making magic props are also expensive, but a good meal does not cost a single silver coin. It is an exaggeration, fifty gold coins can protect the life of the family members of the dead mercenary for the rest of their lives Nothing to worry about.

Just in a daze, Claudia had already stepped down to the arena, and her move immediately attracted the attention of several other team leaders.The mercenary also whispered, her silver hair and red pupils and her female identity made her particularly eye-catching, the mixed blood night elf has been the scout leader of Longyan Castle for many years.

"How long do you want to stay there in a daze? Come in!" Claydia couldn't help it after not seeing Link for a long time.

"The leader personally rolls the roll, who is that guy?"

"A famous ranger?"

"The face is covered, and I don't know who it is."

"Maybe it's a half-elf that the captain knows."

Everyone was chattering, Link walked into the training ground, and the team leader in charge of scout training pointed at a target [-] meters away and asked him to shoot three arrows each while standing and running.

Taking down the elven bow, which was no different in shape from a normal longbow, Link took out three from the quiver that came with him, and drew the bow——all hit the bull's-eye!

"..."

The silence didn't last long, and people started whispering to each other.

Shooting three arrows at once is considered relatively good archery among rangers, but the fault is that this person's posture and technique seem to be completely beginners. How can a person who is new to archery have such precise archery skills?

Iris, who taught Link to shoot, did not deliberately correct it, making it difficult for his posture to be linked to his grades.

Taking out three more arrows and putting them on the string, Link suddenly sped up. The half-elf examiner standing aside suddenly threw an object at Link. He lowered his body and rubbed the ground in a kneeling position to complete the shot. This time, he missed the target. At least they all hit the target.Before Link could get up, Claudia pulled out the two daggers straddling her waist and swiped towards Link.

Afraid of being exposed, Link didn't dare to use his skills, so he rolled on the spot and blocked the fast and accurate dagger with his elf bow.

"The response is good, get up, I allow you to use real weapons." Claudia's eyes glanced at the weapons Link carried, the black iron long sword and the standard dagger that Gonzales handed him directly.

The leader did it himself, and the half-elf ranger immediately retreated to the farthest corner of the field.

"Look, two daggers against two swords."

"Is that kid just pretending?"

"I don't see it. His sword posture is much better than shooting."

There were more and more mercenaries onlookers. Of the four main corps, only the scouts were sent off by the leader himself.

Link stared at the leader of the scouts. Even if he was only half of the elf blood, his speed was much faster than that of a human. He would definitely not be able to keep up without the acceleration of the magic.He compressed his perception into the training ground, blocked the discussion outside the court, and concentrated his attention.

Breathe... breathe, breathe... breathe, breathe...

coming!

The breath on the other side suddenly stopped, and Link suddenly turned around, using his two swords to brace the dagger stabbing from behind.

We all know that night elves have the ability to lurk shadows, so is she taking steps step by step... But I don't want to follow steps at all.

Link used the trick he used to deal with Gonzalez, leaping back, swinging both hands at the same time while staying in the air, cleaving, the overlapping angle no matter how fast he was, he could always sweep it.And the best way to avoid this kind of range attack is not to move left and right, but to rush forward.Next, as long as there is another surprise attack, it will definitely hit the target. In close combat, the comparison is strength. The elves follow the agility route, and the speed is fast. The strength may not be comparable to that of a lower rank than her.

Ding!The crisp sound of metal confirmed Link's guess that Claudia was indeed charging forward, just in time for Link's full blow.She used the dagger to loosen her strength and dodged. Link's left hand followed with a sweep. She twisted her waist in the air and completed a difficult turn. The blade brushed across her cheek and cut off a few strands of hair.

Standing still, Claudia squinted at the broken hair on the ground and then turned her gaze back to Link.

"Oh~ that little-known guy was able to tie with the head of the scout!"

"It's too wasteful to be recruited as a mercenary with this skill."

This time, Gonzalez paid attention to it openly, thinking that Link should accept it as soon as he sees it, and Claudia hasn't made a real move. If he continues, I'm afraid he will be beaten severely.

"Obviously a fighter, why did you sign up to be a scout?"

"My mentor wants me to come here to hone my skills." This is not a lie, Hull's letting Link come to Longyan Fort really meant for him to practice.

"Okay, you're qualified, anyway, there are not many people in this batch that suit me." Claudia put the dagger back into its sheath, turned around and nodded to the team leader, and the male half-elf immediately stepped forward and asked Lin Ke's name and five gold coins were also issued to him.

Ney, who had been standing on the fence, flew over, landed on Link's shoulder, and let out a happy cry.

"Jiujiujiu~" It's dangerous, if you continue to fight, it will be dangerous.

Link raised his eyes. It was inconvenient for him to speak in public, but the meaning was conveyed through his eyes.

"Ji!" She hadn't really moved yet.

I know this, being a regiment leader is a master rank, and she was very aggressive in the battle just now, the purpose was just to test my skills.Link's idea is that the test so far is impossible to fight for life, and if he tries his skills, he will not continue.

Erwin, the team leader in charge of the test, recognized the bird perched on Link's shoulder at a glance. It was not an ordinary falcon, but a wind falcon, a magical creature with wind attributes, gathered in the Great Rift Valley in the northeast of the mainland.Not to mention ordinary hunters, even experienced rangers can't catch them, and... such a docile attitude.

Erwin glanced at Link a few more times. His whole body was filled with the breath of the mountains, his complexion was like that of an Alkin, and his skills were more like a warrior. Was he really just here for training?

"Erwin!" Claudia urged, and the half-elf captain immediately remembered that the call-up had not yet ended, and there were still a few mercenaries waiting. unique taste.It is the fragrance of the unique plants in the guarded land, and it has not dissipated after a long journey and a night, which is enough to prove that he has stayed there long enough.

Is it...

Link turned his head, not understanding why the half-elf stared at him with wide eyes.

Aware of his situation, Erwin turned around.

It's too early to make a conclusion, so I'd better wait for the conscription to end and ask privately.

ps: Try it for a few days first, and try to double update if you can.It's too late, if there are typos and words that are not smooth, I will modify it tomorrow.
