"What's wrong?"

Seeing the Counter Miss in front of him staring at him with a strange look, Liens calmly asked her.

"Your basic Life signs show a state that is both young and old... I suggest that if you feel any discomfort in your body, you can go to the church to have it checked."

The Counter Miss replied.

"Is that so? I understand. Thank you for your reminder."

Liens smiled and thanked the Counter Miss in front of him.

He naturally knew why his Life signs were exhibiting such a strange phenomenon; it was simply the result of over-extraction of his own Life origin.

It's just that he currently has no solution, and even the items capable of restoring Life origin, recorded in Marvin's alchemy book, are extremely rare.

Unless he was extremely lucky, a common dark guard from the Glenbagen Family like him would have no means to acquire such a treasure.

Seeing that Liens didn't seem to care about her reminder, the Counter Miss said no more.

She continued to bury herself in her work, processing Liens's Adventurer certificate—the Adventurer's Proof.

She had already said what needed to be said, and she had no right to interfere with his choices. If something truly happened and he didn't seek treatment, then it could only be said that it was his fate.

Soon, Liens's application was fully processed, and he took the newly acquired [Adventurer's Proof] and left the Adventurers' Association.

He then walked towards the Military Fortress, which was the location for today's enlistment selection.

...

Although the country hoped that more young people would join the army, and even introduced policies like "Princess Knight," not just anyone could join the military.

Even many ordinary people in the Outer City who couldn't get enough to eat had no chance of getting a stable job in the military.

"Name, gender, age, identity?"

Inside a simply constructed tent, the interviewer expressionlessly asked Liens for his basic information.

"My name is Heier, male, 23 years old, and my identity is Adventurer."

It was time to act again. Liens enthusiastically stated the information he had filled out on his [Adventurer's Proof].

After speaking, he took out the [Adventurer's Proof] he had just received and handed it to the other party to prove his identity.

"Look, this is my [Adventurer's Proof], it has my detailed information on it."

"Hmm? The registration date is today. You didn't specifically get an Adventurer identity because you wanted to enlist in the army, did you?"

The interviewer took the document and looked at it, then looked at Liens with a strange expression.

He had initially thought that Liens's physique looked very powerful, and he had even come in carrying a longsword, leading him to believe that the army had gained another strong character.

As mentioned before, many people in the Outer City couldn't get into the army, so why would the country introduce a "welfare" policy like "Princess Knight"?

It was naturally to attract those who were already capable, and Adventurers were precisely the concentration of such people.

Therefore, he had been quite expectant when he first heard Liens's introduction, but he didn't expect him to be just a new Adventurer, which made him a little disappointed.

"I did just register as an Adventurer today."

"However, before this, I mainly helped people move things and ran errands."

"So, my physical fitness is very good. Both my strength and speed are decent."

"I should be able to pass, right?"

Liens habitually played weak, and incidentally gave himself the identity of a porter. He knew that the army's investigation into this aspect was not strict.

"Alright, this is your number. Take it. After you exit, continue walking further in. Someone will arrange a test for you."

"After passing the test, you can become a guard of Kara City."

The interviewer nodded, then took out a slip of paper with a number written on it and Liens's [Adventurer's Proof] and handed them to him.

Although Liens's situation wasn't what he had initially expected, which made him a little disappointed.

However, Liens's apparent situation already met the preliminary recruitment standards, so he naturally wouldn't fail him.

Liens took his belongings and looked at the slip of paper, finding that it had "No. 38" written on it, indicating that he had arrived relatively early.

Walking out of the tent, Liens followed the instructions and quickly completed all the tests.

The tests were simple: long-distance running for endurance, short-distance running for speed, and weightlifting for strength.

As long as all standards were met, one would pass.

For such tests, with his physical fitness honed by the Training Camp, he naturally met the standards with ease.

However, to avoid drawing attention, he still kept his scores in the middle range.

Additionally, he also saw his "spy accomplices" at the testing grounds, but there was no communication between them.

After passing the tests, Liens, along with the others who passed, arrived at the Military Fortress.

There, he received his military uniform and armor.

As for weapons, since he brought his own longsword, he couldn't get a new longsword for free from the quartermaster.

Although he didn't think much of those standard issue longswords, the fact that he missed out on a potential benefit he could have gotten instantly made him feel a bit at a loss.

After receiving his supplies and completing identity registration, Liens followed the guidance along the way and arrived at his assigned dormitory.

"Creak!"

"Welcome, welcome... I'm your roommate, my name is Gars."

Gars enthusiastically greeted Liens, who had just opened the door and walked in, while Liens looked at him with a somewhat strange gaze.

Liens hadn't expected to meet someone he had previously robbed here.

It had to be said, there truly was some fate between them.

It seemed that the beating from more than half a month ago was the fated opportunity for them to connect.

With this thought, Liens's slight guilt, which had arisen from beating his roommate, instantly vanished.

This was fate... Gars should just blame fate.

"What's wrong? Is there something strange on my face?"

Noticing Liens's gaze, Gars reached out and touched his face, asking Liens with confusion.

"Nothing... Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet... My name is Heier, please take care of me."

Liens enthusiastically introduced himself to Gars.

Upon hearing this, Gars immediately shivered, his body trembling involuntarily.

"What's wrong with you?"

Liens looked at Gars with concern.

"Nothing... It's just, I don't know why, but I keep feeling like your voice sounds a bit familiar?"

Gars was also a bit puzzled, not knowing why he suddenly shivered.

"Perhaps my voice is just common."

Liens replied with a smile.

"Is that so? Probably... Strange, why did I shiver just now? Was it cold?"

"Right, it's already September now, and the Frost Season is approaching. It's normal for the weather to turn colder."

Gars muttered to himself.
