Over 16 years old!
Compulsory service!
Join the army, mine, slave, guard...
This kind of law sounds unbelievable. It is completely squeezing and exploiting ordinary people. If any country on earth dared to introduce such a law, it would have been overturned long ago!
But it is a pity that this is Tianqiong Continent, a world of high martial arts with uneven distribution of force!
"I am 16 years old, do I have to serve compulsorily..."
Meng Lei frowned deeply. As a sane person, of course he rejected this almost ridiculous law. There was no way for him to serve voluntarily!
"Captain Hades, what should I do if I don't want to serve?"
"Serving is an obligation that every ordinary person must fulfill!" Hades shook his head: "Unless you are a noble, a descendant of a noble, or a magician of level three or above and a warrior of level four or above!"
"These three categories of people don't have to serve?"
Meng Lei's eyes lit up: "In other words, as long as I become a third-level magician or a fourth-level warrior within a year, I don't need to serve?"
"Yes! But it's so hard!"
Hades shook his head slightly: "I know nothing about magic practice and cannot make an evaluation, but I know that it is simply impossible to become a fourth-level warrior within one year!"
"Is it difficult?" Meng Lei frowned slightly!
"It's not only difficult, it's as difficult as climbing to the sky! Dou Qi cultivation is a process of training the body and accumulating Dou Qi. Without the assistance of any external objects or external forces, each stage takes a long time!"
Hades smiled bitterly and said: "When I was in the army, I worked hard for 6 years before I became a first-level warrior, and then after nearly 10 years of hard training, I was lucky enough to break through to the second-level warrior!
16 years before and after! Do you think it's possible for you to pass four levels in a row within a year? "
Meng Lei was shocked: "It took you 16 years to become a second-level fighter?"
"Yes! A whole 16 years!"
Hades nodded slightly: "Of course, this is also the reason why my talent is very poor! Your magic talent may be very good, and it shouldn't last so long!
I heard that some talented magic geniuses can become magic masters within a few years. For example, students in the magic academy in our Fire Dragon Kingdom must reach a certain level before they can graduate. Level 4 seems to be the minimum standard! "
"Magic? Do I have a gift for magic?"
Meng Lei was unsure. His ability to release fireballs had nothing to do with his magic talent. It was entirely due to a plug-in!
"Captain Hades, where can I learn magic?"
"Of course it's the Magic Academy!"
Captain Hades patted Meng Lei on the shoulder: "There is a magic academy in the royal city, and it is early August, and the enrollment period for the magic academy is approaching soon. If you want to learn magic, you can try it!
If you can really enter the magic academy to study, your life will be completely changed. After graduation, even if you cannot become a noble noble, you can still become a noble magician, a thousand times stronger than you are now! "
Meng Lei nodded silently. Because of the existence of the system, he had the confidence to change his own destiny, but the system was not enough. He needed to get out of the mountains and truly understand the world!
Going to study at a magic academy seems to be a good choice. Not only can you come into contact with people and things that you can't come into contact with now, but you can also learn useful magic knowledge!
Broaden your horizons!
Learn magic!
And this premise is... magic talent!
"It seems you've made your choice, which is good!"
Seeing Meng Lei's expression, Hades was very pleased: "In one month, I will take you to the Royal City, but the magic test requires 10 gold coins. You have to bring this yourself!"
"10 gold coins? It's so dark!"
…
The invasion of the beast tide had a big impact on the Warcraft Village. Meat was only one aspect. The next day, a caravan came to the Warcraft Village after hearing the news!
Gather fur and scales.
Change the salt and wine.
The adults are bargaining with the caravans, and the children are laughing and playing around the caravans. The peaceful Warcraft Village in the past has ushered in the long-lost excitement!
Meng Lei also sold a few furs in exchange for some salt. He really wanted to exchange for a pot of wine, but the wine was too expensive and he couldn't exchange for a few furs!
The good news is that there are so many people and a lot of physical light groups are dropped. After Meng Lei collects and fuses them all, the physical fitness column increases by 5 points, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain!
The caravan finally left after lingering for a day. Meng Lei had dinner and had an early night's rest. The next day, he brought some dried bacon and set off alone into the Warcraft Forest!
This was a move he made after careful consideration!
The strongest pickup system is an excellent upgrade tool, but if you stay at home, no light groups will come to your door, so you have to take the initiative!
Besides, the magic test requires 10 gold coins, and Meng Lei is penniless now!
No money
What a test!
No matter which way you look at it, you can’t sit still and wait for death!
Of course, if he had the choice, Meng Lei would not want to venture into the World of Warcraft Forest alone, but there is no other way. The beast tide has passed and every household has enough food and clothing. There is no need for the guard to go out hunting for the time being!
Therefore, Meng Lei can only be alone!
As a villager living on the edge of the World of Warcraft Forest, Meng Lei is not ignorant of the World of Warcraft Forest. He knows where it is safe and where it is forbidden to go!
"There are many monsters in the Warcraft Forest, but the surrounding areas are basically wild beasts!"
"As long as I stay outside, there won't be any danger!"
After leaving the village, a forest appeared in front of us!
There is a thick layer of fallen leaves under your feet, surrounded by countless ancient and strange trees, exuding a damp and decaying smell!
Quiet, dead silence!
But from time to time, the roars of wild beasts are heard, as if they are wailing from hell, which makes people's scalp numb and they dare not be careless!
"If you don't want to be mediocre, you have to work hard!"
"The road to becoming stronger starts now!"
Meng Lei took a deep breath, his eyes became firm, and then he entered the World of Warcraft Forest without looking back. The forest was full of leaves and branches, blocking most of the sunlight!
With a few rays of sunlight, you can see walnut-sized ants forming long lines; caterpillars covered with spikes crawling slowly on the trees; earthworms with thick arms rolling under the dead leaves, revealing their scarlet bodies...
Everything in front of him made Meng Lei very curious!
What an incredible world!
"Pfft—"
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound under his feet. Meng Lei raised his feet to see that he had accidentally stepped on a palm-sized... white maggot!
"Ding! Kill 1 white-threaded maggot and get 2 copper coins!"
"(⊙o⊙)...can you get money from this?"
