Chapter 3: Me, the Warlock?
1438 Words
After the caravan reorganized itself, it followed behind the Winter Fortress army.
Mu En curiously looked at the army in front of him, and he noticed that the armor in the army was divided into many types.
It just so happened that there was a Dwarf on the side who was almost as good as an encyclopedia, and Mu En asked the question directly to Copperbeard.
“That's ah, because the army of Winter Fortress actually fights by legions.” Copperbeard said, “Look at the group in white armor, they're all mages, the main force that just wiped out the wave of magical creatures was them.”
Mu En nodded his head, in fact, in the end, it was divided by occupation.
Half a day later, they officially arrived at the Winter Fortress.
The walls cast in gray iron were hard as hell, but even so, most of them were left with scratches.
Walking through the huge fortress gate, they were considered to have entered the outer area of the Winter Fortress.
The entire Rinwinter Fortress was about the size of a city and was divided into the outer and inner districts.
The inner district was the living area and the outer district was the temporary war zone.
During these years, a lot of demonic creatures had stormed into the outer district when the demonic creatures were attacking.
Newly arrived soldiers would be placed in the inner zone and wait for a period of training before being put back into the outer zone.
The original centurion had already returned to the team, and now leading Mu En and the others was a centurion who had just changed shifts down, called Triste.
Tristan was a thief by profession, but in Winter Fortress, he was an assassin on the battlefield.
With the thief's shadow concealment, many demons were killed before they could see him.
Probably because he didn't have time to talk on the battlefield, Tristan's words were very much in abundance once he returned inside the fortress from his shift.
But this also allowed Mu En to gain full knowledge of the Winter Fortress.
“Anyone who is still a commoner.”
Tristan gave a customary inquiry.
Normally the soldiers sent to Winter Fortress were all professionals, but there was no shortage of places where there weren't that many professionals who wanted to fight against the demons at Winter Fortress, leading to there being ordinary people being sent.
Looking around, Mu En silently raised his hand.
Well, it was really only himself who was still a commoner.
“There really are.”
Tristan was a little surprised.
“We'll have to go in a different direction then.” Shrugging, Tristan turned into another road.
It didn't take long for Triste to lead them to a shrine.
“The Temple of the Goddess of Life.”
Off to the side, Copperbeard whispered.
“That commoner just now come here.” Triste waved ahead.
Mu En left the group and followed Triste into the Temple of the Goddess of Life.
Unlike outside, it was just as cold inside the Winter Fortress, yet it was as warm as spring in the Temple of the Goddess of Life.
Looking around, one could only see a huge idol of the Goddess of Life standing in the center of the temple, and a middle-aged man dressed as a bishop stood in front of the idol.
“Bishop Carthew.”
Tristan bowed, and the middle-aged man turned to look at him.
“Is something the matter.”
Bishop Carthew spoke gently.
Tristan pointed at Mu En and said, “This child needs your help to measure his talent and see which profession is suitable.”
Bishop Carthew nodded, his azure eyes looking at Mu En, “Come child, take off all the extra clothes, just leave one or two on.”
At this point Mu En was still dressed like a ball, he hurriedly took off one piece of clothing, after a few minutes, a half man high pile of clothing was piled up on the ground.
He revealed his true appearance, purple hair, amber-like eyes, and a somewhat thin body due to insufficient nutrition.
Bishop Cassius took out a crystal ball and asked Mu En to hold it with both hands and place it in front of his chest.
Mu En looked at the crystal ball, however, after a long time passed, the crystal ball did not move at all.
“It seems there is no magic talent.” Tristan said.
Bishop Carthew took back the crystal ball and replaced it with an exquisite longsword for Mu En.
After another long time, the longsword also didn't move at all.
Next, Mu En was constantly being tested, but the results were all the same.
There was no movement.
“This child ......”
Bishop Carthew frowned.
“Just a mere ordinary person?” Tristan said.
Bishop Carthew shook his head, there was one last test yet to be used.
“Give me your hand, boy.”
Mu En put his right hand out, and Bishop Kashu took it, then the magic power in him surged towards Mu En's body.
Mu En felt his body warm up, as if something was reviving in his body.
“This is ......” Tristan seemed to recognize something, having once been a thief he knew the way many professions were detected.
Ten minutes later, Bishop Cassius let go of his hand.
At the same time an indescribable aura flowed out of Mu En.
“Well?”
Tristan asked, only his words inexplicably softened.
“Feeling okay?”
Mu En realized that something from the outside world was constantly pouring into his body and storing it, as if it was ...... magic?
“This child is a warlock.” Bishop Cassius said.
“Warlock!”
Tristan's eyes widened and he looked at Mu En with the gaze of looking at a protected animal.
“A warlock.”
“How rare.”
“Me, a warlock?” Mu En also froze, Copperbeard usually told some jokes, and among them were about warlocks.
For example, what was the difference between a chimera and a warlock.
Answer, the difference between a chimera and a warlock was that a chimera was a demon while a warlock was a human, other than that, there was no difference between the two, and even warlocks were more qualified than chimeras.
The purpose of a chimera is just to juice.
Warlocks, on the other hand, are meat and potatoes.
Warlocks always see beauty in every race.
Even they were passionate about, how to solve the problem of reproduction.
“It can't be.”
One's xp was clearly normal, how could it be a warlock?
“Let's go.”
Tristan used a space bag to pick up the clothes that were all over the floor, then threw it to Mu En.
“I'll lend them to you first, remember to return them to me when you claim them later.”
When he left the Temple of the Goddess of Life, Mu En remembered that it was so cold outside shouldn't he put on all his clothes?
But standing between the icy sky and snow, he didn't feel any cold.
“When you have magic power or fighting qi, you won't be too afraid of the cold.” Tristan explained.
Mu En nodded his head, so that's how it was, no wonder he saw that the elf maiden didn't wear much but wasn't afraid of the cold.
Copperbeard's bare arms were not afraid of the cold, he had only thought before that it was the Dwarf's racial trait of having thick skin that was working.
Back in the group, Copperbeard and the others had seen Mu En's real appearance, while the elf maiden was the first time they had seen it, and if it wasn't for those amber-like eyes, they almost didn't recognize it.
“What is your profession?” The elf maiden's words became gentle.
She didn't know why she was talking like this, but her heart told her it was better to say so.
“Eh.” It was a little difficult for Moon to speak, “It's ...... Warlock ......”
Crowd: “!!!”
“You kid is actually a warlock!” Copperbeard snapped and slapped Mu En, hurting him so much that he grinned and sucked in cold air.
The dwarf had forgotten to collect his strength.
“Warlock?!” The elf maiden subconsciously retreated a few steps after hearing this, pulling some distance away from Mu En.
This was the reputation of a warlock.
