"I would like to join your army."
Mayer readily accepted Lu Cheng's invitation. At this time, she also released her brother's hand, giving Meris room to make a choice.
"Is it true that being a clerk in the Celestial Empire is not profitable?"
Meris was more careful in this regard. If they wanted to live in the Celestial Empire in the future, they would have to consider the source of money.
The siblings' main job is to be recorders outside the Shadow Society, and most of the time they are recording clerical work for the Shadow Society. However, they have also received assassination training, but because of their poor magical talent, they cannot be called qualified assassins.
"In our country, only one person out of every ten thousand is illiterate. The probability may be even lower. What do you think?" Lu Cheng asked.
"I...I...volunteer to join the Chinese People's Liberation Army." When Meris heard this, he realized that with his ability to read and write, it might not be easy to find a job in China.
"Someone will tell you what you need to do and some precautions when you join the army. Before that, show me the magic you know."
Lu Cheng's gaze fell on the inscriptions on the backs of the siblings' hands... The inscriptions on the backs of their hands were not too complicated. Taking Princess Nancy as a reference, the inscriptions on their hands could be said to be simple.
A pure white inscription lit up on Meyer's hand, and a ball of light appeared in the palm of Meyer's hand. This was the most basic illumination technique.
"My brother and I both have level zero and level one magic. I have mastered seven inscriptions, and he has five. The magic we can release together is not that much."
There was no trace of the previous confidence in Meyer's voice. The lack of magical talent was something that the siblings had always been concerned about.
“That’s enough. The holy crystal on the back of Lu Cheng’s hand glowed with light, and two balls of light of different colors floated out from the holy crystal on the back of Lu Cheng’s hand.
“Is this an inscription?”
Meyer looked at the two balls of light. Her brother had already stretched out his hand out of curiosity to touch the balls of light flying towards them, but Meyer simply patted her brother's hand and asked him to retract his arm.
"As a gift before you join the army."
These two inscriptions came from the blood crystal beast. They are both "original" inscriptions, which can also be called seed inscriptions...a key that allows the unmarked to step into the magic world.
Both the brother and sister already have basic inscriptions, so adding one more won’t have much of an impact.
But Meyer and Meris still accepted it. When the two inscriptions flowed into their bodies respectively, Lu Cheng read the emotion of "gratitude" from the expressions on their faces.
“I have never seen an inscription bestowed in this way before… but this gift is so great that I do not know how to repay it,” Meyer said.
As a person without magical talent, Meyer knew clearly how difficult it was for him to obtain one more inscription.
"No need to repay. You will still have to learn a lot of magic knowledge in the future. I will arrange a teacher for you."
Lucheng decided to apply to the higher authorities to separate Meyer and Meris to establish a new branch of the military... The name of the branch is Magic Infantry
In short, in Lu Cheng's vision for the future, a modern army that masters various magical abilities such as invisibility, teleportation, and lightness will have a terrifying effect on the battlefield. Lu Cheng is looking forward to it just thinking about it.
"Next, someone will take you to familiarize yourself with the environment."
Lu Cheng took out his mobile phone and took a look at the messages on it. One of the important messages came from Miss Groundhog.
The study team sent by the Secret Society has arrived in the Special Zone City through Charlotte's portal. What Lu City needs to do now is to welcome their arrival.
"We learn magic in the army?" Meyer asked before leaving Lu Cheng.
"Not only magic, you have a lot to learn, ideas, rules, discipline, and now you have to learn how to adapt to our life."
Lu Cheng found an instructor to help them get familiar with life in the Special Zone as quickly as possible, and he himself was preparing to leave to meet visitors from the Secret Society.
"That thing about Princess Mishu..." Meris managed to escape his sister's clutches before leaving Lucheng and asked about the whereabouts of the princess of the Far South Empire.
But the next second he was pressed down on the table by Mayer again.
"Her treatment is similar to yours. You can still meet many acquaintances from Far South here. I will take you to see them when I have time, provided that... you adapt to your future life first."
After Lu Cheng finished speaking, he left here directly. When he walked out of the building where the registration office was located, even if Lu Cheng did not look at the message urging from Charlotte, he could feel several fluctuations of magic power appearing somewhere in the Special Zone City.
The location where the portal was opened was in the ecological park of the Special Zone City. When Lu Cheng arrived there, the research team members headed by Dr. Ji Chuan were already chatting and laughing with the envoys of the Secret Society.
There were thirteen 'scholars' dispatched by the Secret Order, seven of them looked to be over fifty years old, and five of the other seven were relatively young. They either carried heavy backpacks on their backs or held a stack of heavy books in their hands, and looked like assistants and apprentices.
The one leading the conversation with Dr. Ji Chuan is the Shadow Sage, who looks like a woman around 45 years old, which is relatively young for a sage.
The welcoming ceremony was relatively simple. There was a banner in front of the ecological park that read "Welcome the comrades from the Secret Society". The words on the banner were written in the common language.
However, the next arrangement was to visit the ecological park and then have a welcoming banquet. Chinese people still prefer to talk at the dinner table, but Lu Cheng was not very interested in this dinner.
Lu Cheng is not in charge of everything in the Special Zone City. For example, regarding the specific topics of the researchers in this secret meeting and the research base, Lu Cheng only offers some guiding opinions from the perspective of a Chinese who understands magic.
The second thing is to guard against the elderly wizards of these secret societies who may take advantage of the researchers’ lack of knowledge of magic and use some cunning spells in secret to do bad things.
In this regard, the Crystal Spirit will assist in early warning.
"Sir Lu Cheng." After a brief greeting with Dr. Ji Chuan, the Shadow Sage happened to see Lu Cheng who had just arrived at the ecological park.
The aura of the holy crystal on the back of Lu Cheng's hand was difficult for a senior spellcaster to ignore. The Shadow Sage performed a mage salute to Lu Cheng and extended his hand.
Before they came, Bayerwok seemed to have given the envoys some systematic instruction, which also included the etiquette of Earth.
"I'm asking a very sudden question. Do you have... descendants?" After Lu Cheng had a brief handshake with the Shadow Sage, the more he looked at the Shadow Sage's face, the more familiar he felt.
"Mr. Lu Cheng, why are you asking this..."
"We recently 'rescued' a young woman who looks very similar to you, from the Far South," Lu Cheng said.
There was no expression on the Shadow Sage's face when he heard the first sentence, but the sentence "from the far south" added at the end made the smile on the Shadow Sage's face freeze.
At this moment, Lu Cheng was basically certain that the rescued young woman was the first princess of Far South, Michelle, and that princess was most likely the daughter of the Shadow Sage.
