C41 (1/2)

As one of the strongholds of the Atherenka Empire, Zag City's prosperity far surpassed that of the Southern Horse City. Although there were many ordinary commoners, there were even more adventurers going in and out of the city gate.

Adventurers with weapons could be seen everywhere on the street, and occasionally, people with Magic Beast s could be seen following them. Every time one of them appeared, people on the street would subconsciously look at them, and most of them had an envious expression.

Ge Yan curiously looked around, a small head peeking out from his chest, turning around just like him, to look around. It was the Shadow Winged Tiger after its camouflage, and then it would be the dark night, it was originally small in size, but after its camouflage, it was only as big as a fist, if one did not look carefully, one would not be able to see it.

Rex turned his head around and saw that the man and the beast had moved their heads, their pace almost identical.

Ge Yan didn't notice that Rex had already stopped moving. When its forehead touched his shoulder, the Dark Night in his embrace cried out, as if it was the one who bumped into it. Seeing Ge Yan looking down at it, its big blue eyes revealed an excited expression, and in that moment, it was as if Ge Yan thought he had raised a Husky.

”Aren't we going to the Mage's Guild?” Ge Yan put its head back into his clothes and focused on Rex. When it looked over, Rex had already retracted his gaze.

”We're here.” Rex said.

Ge Yan followed his line of sight and saw a signboard with the words ”Mage's Guild” written on it. He thought that this kind of place that sounded very imposing, would be a building that had a very spectacular and majestic appearance like Mercenary Union. It took up an extremely large area and was extremely eye-catching, but when he looked at it, he realized that he was overthinking.

The Mage's Guild in front of his eyes was not even half of the Mercenary Union. Although the position was more conspicuous, it was not prominent enough, and there were less people than the Mercenary Union.

The two of them went in, it was also empty inside, there were not many people inside, Ge Yan looked in and saw a young man with a lazy expression, the young man yawned, looking drowsy and confused, and did not realise that a guest had entered.

”Why are there so few people?” Ge Yan could not help but ask.

”In the end, Zag City isn't a big city, and it's also a fortress close to the Magic Beast Forest. Pure Mages won't come here to die.” Without waiting for Ge Yan to understand what the words meant, Rex walked towards the young man and knocked on the clean table.

The young man instantly came to his senses, an impeccable smile hung on his face as he changed his expression perfectly. ”Hello, how can I help you?”

Rex pointed at Ge Yan: ”He wants to test his Inherent Skill.”

The young man's gaze landed on Ge Yan, his smile not changing: ”The test for talent requires a fee, you can hand it in after the test, there is only one type of talent that requires 5 gold coins, two or more are not charged at all, if there are no problems, please enter, someone will bring you guys for the test.”

Rex nodded and brought Ge Yan inside.

”What was the pure mage you were talking about?” Ge Yan asked as he walked.

Rex thought about how he did not know anything and explained in a rare manner: ”It's just that only with a Mage's Inherent Skill, he can't become a Swordsman. Sage City will be attacked by the tides of Magic Beast s every year, Mages will only use Magic, their bodies are too weak, so very few Mages will come to Sage City.

The test for the talent of a Mage was usually conducted at the age of seven, so there were very few adults who came to take the test. The only exceptions were conditions such as poverty or other special circumstances.
