Under the surveillance of a team of elite imperial soldiers in black armor, the recruitment and selection process was organized.

When it was Xiao Ting's turn, the clerk sitting on the far left asked without raising his head: "Name?"

Xiao Ting thought for a while and replied: "Xiao!"

"age?"

"twenty three."

"Hometown?"

"Shurima Jie."

The clerk looked up at Xiao Ting in surprise, because Shurima Jie was the hometown of Empress Sertaka.

"It's OK, go to the bachelor's place to continue." The clerk pointed to the white-robed bachelor next to him.

The Shurima Empire conquered many tribes and towns year after year, and the movement of people on the empire territory was extremely frequent and complex.

Therefore, it is basically unrealistic to carefully investigate the origin of each soldier.

In order to prevent hostile forces from sending people to infiltrate the Imperial Army, this rune crystal ball that can sense the true emotions of people in their hearts was developed.

The white-robed scholar signaled Xiao Ting to put his palm on the crystal ball in front of him and asked: "Are you willing to be loyal to the empire and be proud of the empire fighting, and your life will never stop, and the battle will never stop?"

Xiao Ting replied calmly: "I'm willing."

In order to complete the main mission and seek the opportunity to "asce", he naturally did not mind fighting for the Shurima Empire, so he treated it as an equivalent exchange.

As the words fell, a pure white light flashed on the crystal ball.

The white-robed bachelor nodded slightly and pointed to the yellow-robed bachelor next to him.

Obviously, he passed the loyalty assessment and then checked his qualifications.

Xiao Ting raised his palm again and gently placed it on the crystal ball floating in front of the yellow-robed scholar.

First, five free white lights appeared in the crystal ball, and the yellow-robed scholar's face was calm: "5 points of spirit, qualified."

Then the white light disappeared, three red lights appeared, and the yellow-robed scholar frowned slightly: "So weak in power?"

Then the red light disappeared, and three green lights appeared. The yellow-robed scholar frowned: "Agility is so weak?"

"A weak chicken like this is also coming to join the army?"

"Isn't this embarrassing the Imperial Army?"

"Even those humble slaves are not as good as..."

Unfriendly ridicule sounded around.

After all, normal men have an average of 5 points of strength and agility, and people with only 3 points are simply incomparable to some women.

But the next moment, the ridicule came to an abrupt end and everyone was petrochemical on the spot.

Because the green light disappeared in the end, a mysterious pattern intertwined with black and white appeared in the crystal ball...

"God-given rune?"

The yellow-robed scholar's pupils shrank suddenly, and he suddenly looked up at Xiao Ting, his tone was incredible: "You have a rune that is given to you, the chosen one!

"The chosen one is rare in decades!"

………

boom!

It was like a bomb thrown into the crowd, and the entire recruitment office was in an instant.

Countless people showed their faces of surprise and looked at Xiao Ting in a daze, as if they were petrified.

The so-called heavenly chooser is a person who has undergone a strange ability before he has practiced and has undergone a certain part of his body.

The part where Xiao Ting mutated was obviously his bones.

The explorer of the Eternal Kingdom, everyone will be forcibly activated by the master brain before entering the game world for the first time to explore.

From this perspective, every explorer is a chosen one.

But there is no master brain in the game world and will not help others force their talents. Therefore, only a very small number of talented people can awaken their talents by themselves, and they will have one more skill than others at the beginning.

This is also the reason why people near the recruitment site caused a sensation when they heard that Xiao Ting was the chosen one.

"I'm actually a genius?"

Xiao Ting, who has been "attractive", feels quite complicated.

From childhood to adulthood, he has always been known for being mediocre.

The Bachelor of White and Bachelor of Yellow stared at Xiao Ting with a stare intently and said with a smile: "Congratulations on passing the test. Entering the army will waste your talent. Join our Sun Academy!"

"this……"

Xiao Ting is considering the gains and losses.

Joining the Sun Academy is definitely more likely to be more at the starting point and treatment than joining the army, but the academy usually starts with theoretical knowledge, and he doesn't want to waste too much time on this.

Others around, including the Imperial soldiers and clerks, all showed undisguised envy.

In the Empire, the bachelors of the Sun Academy are stronger and more respected professions than the Imperial Warriors.

Almost each of them has powerful rune power, and some of them can even compete with the Ascensioners.

Of course, the conditions for admission to the Sun Academy are also extremely strict.

It can be said that everyone who can enter the Sun Academy has a unique talent than ordinary people.

"As soon as you join the Sun Academy, you will definitely receive the best training. As long as you work hard, your future achievements will definitely become famous in the empire."

Seeing that Xiao Ting was still hesitating, the Yellow-clothed Bachelor smiled and said, "You don't have to rush to make a decision. You can tell us the answer after the conscription is over."

Xiao Ting did not wait too long, because the recruitment work would be suspended at noon and the soldiers would go to have lunch.

"Xiao, tell me your answer?" The two bachelors looked at Xiao Ting with interest."

"I am extremely honored to join the Sun Academy!"

Xiao Ting first spoke out his choice, and then continued: "But I hope I can receive training in the Imperial Army for a period of time in the future, and temper my body and combat skills to be as powerful as the Imperial Warriors."

"It's a good thing that you have such an idea, and I can promise you now."

The yellow-robed scholar showed a look of praise: "In fact, even if you don't go to the military camp, you are still an imperial warrior. The people from our Sun Academy also need to go to the battlefield when necessary."

"My name is Izel, and he is my younger brother Izelen."

The white-robed bachelor patted Xiao Ting on the shoulder and smiled: "Of course, we will be brothers in the future, and all members of the Sun Academy will be brothers."

"Let's go back to the college first, and then we will take you to see the Grand Secretary. He knows that we will be happy to find a chosen one today." The Yellow-robed Bachelor said while leading the way in front.

Xiao Ting's eyes flashed: "Is the Grand Secretary the United States His Excellency Nethers?"

"Nature, he is the greatest guardian of knowledge and wise man of the empire. In the prosperity of the empire, his achievements cannot be concealed like stars in the night!"

Speaking of the Imperial Grand Secretary, Izel and Izelne both show pride and respect from the bottom of their hearts.

Xiao Ting couldn't help but look solemn.

That's the Desert God of Death Nathers!

The title of "Death" shows its strength and its prestige and contribution to the Sun Empire.

Of course, according to the timeline, Nathus should not have experienced the ascension ceremony.

Therefore, it should still be the human form now, rather than the god-like form with a dog's head and human body...

After mortals become ascenaries, a common change will occur.

That is the appearance, especially the head, that looks like a beast!

For example, the dog head of the desert god of death, the crocodile of the desert butcher Rekton, the bird head of the desert emperor Azer, etc.

If Xiao Ting accepts the ascension ceremony, his appearance will definitely change.

But he didn't care much about it.

First of all, the capital for explorers to settle down is strength, not appearance.

Secondly, with the unfathomable depth of the eternal kingdom, there must be a way to change the appearance.

The Sun Academy is located in the core area of ​​the Sun City, right next to the Imperial Palace.

The most core building is a stone tower that is hundreds of meters high.

Under the brilliance of the sun disk, it is dazzling, solemn and heavy.

Izel and Izeln led Xiao Ting through the heavy guards and walked into the tower, introducing him as they walked.

"This is called the Astrological Tower, and it is also the largest library of the empire. The Grand Secretary has been studying various books and scrolls on the top of the tower for many years that have been conquered by the empire."

"He often said that knowledge can change a person's destiny and a country's destiny, and is the most precious wealth in the world."

"Our study, practice and research are also mainly carried out in the astrological tower..."

There is a hollow passage made of stones in the astrological tower, engraved with runes.
