The next morning, quite a few people had gathered at the entrance of the Wild Sword Tower, most of them were parents with their children. In addition to them, there were also some young people, ranging from teenagers to those in their twenties. Although Mo Yu said yesterday that everyone could come to receive the inheritance, the idea that only children have a future to cultivate has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people here. Except for young people in their twenties who are willing to come here to try their luck, older people are too embarrassed to come here to try.
Losa was also one of the people waiting outside. He was an old man in his sixties with gray hair and a slightly hunched back. He was accompanied by a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old. The child was quite tall, but looked dejected.
When people around him saw him, they would secretly point fingers at him, because the child he brought was none other than his grandson Parado, who failed the Secret Swordsman selection three times. Even the village chief Penso, who came here to maintain order, said, "Lothar, don't you know if your grandson is the right material? If he can't be a Secret Swordsman, will a Berserker be enough? And I think it's still a big question whether these outsiders are reliable. Why bother letting your grandson come here and be looked down upon?"
Lothar spoke with full energy. He said dissatisfiedly: "His great grandfather once said that Parado is not an ordinary child. His great grandfather is a master! If he can't become a secret swordsman, he will become something else. Anyway, he is definitely not an ordinary person!"
When Parado heard this, he lowered his head even deeper, but Losa ignored the whispers and laughter of the people around him and forced him to line up.
These people didn't have to wait long before the door of the Crazy Sword Tower opened. Saint Gawain came to the door in person. Many people here knew him. Before he left, Gawain was already a master, and now he was even more so. His welcome made many people feel flattered.
"Welcome to our test. Those who are ready to take the test and their accompanying family members please enter the Sword Tower."
After he said this, no one moved.
The village chief standing at the front widened his eyes, pointed at his nose and asked, "Can we go in, too?"
Gao Wen said: "The test may last for a while. Instead of waiting outside, why don't you come inside and sit down."
These people have lived around the Magic Tower since they were young, and some of their relatives and friends have become members of the Sword Tower. However, most of them are not qualified to enter the Sword Tower. Even Lothar, whose father is a great magician, only entered the Sword Tower when he was young.
Now that they can enter the tower for the accompanying test, they are all very excited. No matter what the children's test results are, this experience will become a rare topic of conversation for them.
The children and young people who participated in the test were taken away by Gawain, and the rest were arranged in a side hall on the second floor. Because there was a lack of furniture downstairs, some carpets were laid in the room, and everyone sat on the floor. Gawain prepared some snacks and water for them. They looked around the room stiffly.
Gallo was left behind to accompany these people. Seeing that they were full of curiosity but did not dare to ask, he took the initiative to chat with them. He not only introduced the things in the Crazy Sword Tower to them, but also talked to them about the outside world.
"The best snack in Silver Sand City is barbecue. You can hunt a lot of game in the forest to the east, from wild boars to rabbits. They all taste delicious when grilled..."
"If you want magnificent scenery, you still have to go south. The empire's several large rivers are very beautiful, and the mountains are also nice..."
"... You haven't seen the things made by the Tower of China. They are really useful. Now, there is no place on the continent from south to north that doesn't use their products." Gallo took out a few exquisite folding knives, a few combs, and a few pairs of shoes from his ring and handed them to everyone present. The people in this village have lived in this mountain valley for thousands of years. Most of the things they wear are local products produced by themselves. Only a few people have things brought from the outside world, and most of them come from the orc tribes with poor supplies.
These people were reluctant to pass on the good things from the Tower of China, their faces full of envy.
Father Losa held a small knife in his hand and couldn't let it go. He was a leatherworker and needed such a knife to cut leather goods. Compared with this knife, the knives he had used for many years were simply rubbish.
Lothar was always a very direct person. He held the knife in his hand and asked, "Can I buy this knife? I can exchange the furs at home with you. If that doesn't work, I also have the gold coins passed down from the past."
"No need." Gallo said with a smile.
Losa said, "You don't want to sell it? I can give you a good price."
Jia Luo looked at him and said, "You don't have to envy these things, nor do you have to buy them. Saint Mo Yu is a very generous and kind leader. This is her first time meeting you all here, and she will give you a gift, which is these things in your hands."
"Give it to us? How is that possible?" Lothar exclaimed.
Jia Luo said: "Nothing is impossible. You don't understand the wealth of Silver Sand City, not to mention that it will soon join the even richer Tower of China. Although these things are good things outside and can be said to be quite valuable, Saint Mo Yu is still willing to give you this gift as a thank you for your support."
The village chief reminded: "Lord Jialuo, we are very grateful to Saint Mo Yu and your generosity, but these people's children have not yet been confirmed to become students of the Wild Sword Tower..."
Losa also put down the knife and said, "Yes, although I like this knife very much, we can't take advantage of you. If my grandson hadn't become an apprentice, I would still be willing to spend money to buy it."
Garro picked up the knife from the carpet and put it in Losa's hand, saying, "Don't worry, anyone who comes here can take this gift, regardless of whether they become a Berserker apprentice or not. This is not only true today, but also in the next week, anyone who comes here and lets their family members undergo our tests can receive this gift."
Everyone present was thrilled and thanked the saint for his generosity.
At this time, Gawain appeared again with the young men and children.
Losa looked up and saw a long-lost happy expression on his grandson's face.
Gao Wen said: "Twenty of the thirty candidates have passed our test. From today on, they are apprentices of the Wild Sword Tower. But we will also recruit the remaining ten for training. We will give them the qualification of preparatory apprentices. If they can gain recognition in one year of study, they will also become formal apprentices. The inheritance of the Wild Sword Tower is different from that of the Secret Sword Tower. Most people have the possibility of mastering some abilities as long as their qualifications are not too poor." (To be continued)
