It won't delay you at all.
Five minutes later.
Ryan lay in the bathtub, lazily opened the game, and entered the character interface of 'Avril'.
According to the instructors, today is the day the new Moonlight Knight Order undergo their extraordinary professional assessment.
However, Ryan had been exercising and missed the opening ceremony. What came into view was a ruin. According to the rules, all new recruits who were qualified to take the test would enter here and then follow the guidance of the gods. Those with talent would be selected and receive the Seal of the Moon God.
"Huh, this place looks familiar."
Ryan carefully examined the area around the ruins where 'Avril' was, and memories of her not being dead flooded into his mind in an instant.
The environment here is almost identical to the place where he obtained the Advancement Fragment before, except that it is slightly more intact. Back then, he and 'Lin Qi' entered the Moon God Relic Site.
Could there be a fragment in here too?
Ryan remembered that the clues to the Book of Darkness, which was missing 100,000 souls, did indeed point to Wildea.
You heard the echo of the moonlit night.
Bathed in moonlight, Avril stood out among the group of new recruits.
Second update! I'm starving, off to eat! Please vote for me! Please support me!!!
Chapter 122 Job Change: Starry Knight! Clues to Ryan's Advancement! [8k5]
At the entrance to the Moon God Relic Site, a group of new recruits who had just stepped inside looked at Avril, who was 'glowing' all by herself, and asked each other in bewilderment.
Although we don't know what happened, this is a divine relic that selects candidates, doesn't this situation just show that it's different from others?
"That child!"
Behind the crowd, the Supernatural Being responsible for guarding the ruins had a glint in his eye. "She actually activated the power of the Moon God Relic Site. Her talent is quite remarkable!"
The female officer standing nearby asked in surprise, "Lord Mel, what's going on?"
When she received the Moonlight Knight's professional legacy, this scene never happened.
Mel, the guardian of the ruins entrance, said, "This is a kind of information that the Moon God Relic Site automatically feed back. I don't know the specifics, but I know that in all these years, apart from the time when Your Majesty passed on his legacy, she is the second person to experience this."
The female officer exclaimed in surprise, "So rare?!"
"Yes, what's the child's name?"
"Avril," the female officer said, "Is the best performing recruit in this batch. Her progress is astonishing, and she works very hard. I often see her secretly training alone in the camp late at night."
"Oh? Training secretly by yourself in the middle of the night?" Mel looked at her with approval. "No wonder she was chosen by the power of the ruins. Her job change should be no problem at all."
The female officer said, "There's definitely no problem. Everyone in our training camp thinks so."
She wasn't exaggerating; Avril's progress was indeed astonishing... no, frightening, especially in the last few days, she's been changing every single day!
She initially found it strange and specifically kept an eye on 'Avril,' only to find that the other woman got up in the middle of the night and was secretly training alone.
Although the training method is a bit strange, like fighting something, it should be practicing combat skills.
With such hard work, the female officer believed that 'Avril' would definitely succeed.
"Just watch, she might surprise everyone."
"Sir, do you mean... a special professional inheritance?"
"I don't know either. Let's wait and see. If she can really inherit the special profession, it will be a good thing for Wilder. His Your Majesty is about to unify the Northern Coalition, and in the future war with the Augustus Empire, the power that a special knight profession can play is unimaginable."
It has become a consensus among nations that future wars will inevitably be dominated by Supernatural Being, but how can we maximize the role of superhuman professions in war?
Simply forming a superhuman squad isn't very useful. Wars involve tens or hundreds of thousands of people and countless firearms and cannons. To truly ignore all of that requires a very high rank, and such people are rare and difficult to train.
In comparison, integrating professional skills into military characteristics is the mainstream approach, and the Verdea Kingdom has an absolute advantage in this regard.
At least in the Northern Continent, which country can stand against them?
"If she succeeds in changing her class, report to Her Your Majesty the Queen immediately!"
This way.
Ryan had no idea that Avril's situation had caused such a stir. He only saw the notification and knew that there might be a hidden professional inheritance here.
Or perhaps it's some kind of special power or mission.
If it were just the legacy of the Moonlight Knight, it wouldn't even be enough to warrant a reminder. Look at the swagger of the moonlight bathing your entire body, plus Avril's charisma and charm; you could easily believe that the Goddess of the moon has descended to earth.
"Avril, you, you are so beautiful."

"Avril, were you chosen by the inherited profession?"
"Avril..."
"Avril..."
The new recruits around him exclaimed in amazement.
Ha~ a bunch of newbies.
Oh no, White Rabbit.
Ryan looked around and noticed that these Moonlight Cavalry trainees were all quite tall. Could this be one of the selection criteria?
Or is it that Her Queen Your Majesty a particular fetish and requested it herself?
"Don't disturb her!" the female officer behind her shouted sternly. "Everyone who enters the ruins can only rely on their own abilities to receive divine guidance. If they are not qualified, they will be sent out by the power of the ruins. If anyone is found to be maliciously obstructing or harming others during this process, they will be immediately eliminated!"
Upon hearing the female officer's words, the new recruits immediately dispersed.
This isn't a competitive relationship, but if others can inherit the legacy while I can't, then my status within the Moonlight Knight Order will obviously be vastly different.
Ignoring everyone else, Avril walked into the ruins after the ruins guardian announced that it could begin.
Some people wanted to follow her, but they found that they were blocked by an invisible force before they could take more than a few steps and could not go any further.
This is the 'qualification' screening.
Those who are not chosen cannot enter the interior of the ruins.
This screening method is far safer than Magic Potion. The drawback is that it can only screen candidates for the Moonlight Knight profession. According to the Knights' requirements, once you become a Moonlight Knight, you basically have no other chance to undergo the extraordinary qualification assessment.
Of course, for ordinary people, even a single opportunity to be selected for extraordinary qualifications is extremely rare.
"This site is much more intact than other places."
Ryan followed Avril deeper into the area, observing the surroundings.
The road was intact, and the buildings inside the ruins were not damaged. Apart from being a bit deserted, it was an almost complete Moon Goddess Palace.
Yes, and there are treasure chests too.
Avril walked to a corner, opened a treasure chest, picked up items, and then continued walking inside.
Her actions puzzled the people behind her, and some followed her, only to find nothing.
It took about half an hour to walk through the entrance passage of the ruins. Then the view widened and a circular plaza appeared. It wasn't very big, but there was a huge moon goddess statue in the middle.
There is also a stone tablet under the statue, but the inscription on it is blurry and completely illegible.
'... In the name of the moon goddess Castia...'
I understood a little bit, and then that was it.
The new recruits who followed saw the statue of the moon goddess and excitedly knelt down to worship it.
Only about half of the people actually made it this far, and Ryan knew that the statue was nothing special; it was just a statue, which meant there was no way it could be passed down.
If this continues, it would be good if even one of the new recruits in 'Avril's' batch could obtain the Moonlight Knight's legacy, and there might not be any at all. If we include other batches, then the number of people who actually obtain the professional legacy in each Moonlight Knight recruitment is indeed very small.
This is still a stable output of professionals. In other countries, even the Augustus Empire would find it much more difficult. It is extremely difficult to truly create a stable army that integrates extraordinary professionals.
Avril did not worship and continued walking inside.
Further inside, in the main part of the ruins, is a huge palace, so big it seems endless, with various side halls and doors layered upon each other, so big you can't even see the top when you look up.
"Good grief, is it another maze challenge?"
I still don't know where to find the hidden class. This palace is so big, I reckon it would take several hours to explore it all... No, that might not even be enough, because Ryan has already seen the 'monsters' roaming around the palace.
[The Remains Wandering the Cracks of Old Days]
I don't know if it's unique to the ruins, but these monsters range in level from 15 to 20 and are scattered throughout the palace. If Avril wants to go inside, she will definitely have to fight them.
"I knew it wouldn't be that simple."
Ryan didn't care. Anyway, Avril was fully equipped with beginner gear and was now level 11. She could easily handle these monsters. He could just treat it as leveling up.
Let the character continue to AFK. Ryan quickly got out of the bathtub, feeling almost limp after soaking for half an hour.
Put your clothes back on.
"I have to go, or people will think I'm going to stay overnight in the castle."
"Oh right, later I'll put Noxiya in the Rift Inner World to level up a bit, and get her out before she reaches level 30."
The imperial army needs to be revitalized. The new generals must first and foremost be capable, no matter what. Youth doesn't matter; as long as they are at least at the fifth or Sixth Tier, who would dare to gossip?
However, time was tight and the task was heavy, so Ryan gave 'Noxiya' a short-term task of reaching Tier 3, and after taking over the army, she should try to reach Fourth Tier within a month, otherwise she would be embarrassed to lead troops into battle.
Fortunately, the Imperial Army's main task at present is garrison duty, and the organization of the major border areas is temporarily maintained. 'Shally' can lead the Holy Blood Legion to deal with external affairs, so there is still enough time for 'Noxiya' to develop.

That is, the Game Character mechanics. Otherwise, if it were really based on the extraordinary advancement mode of this world, it would take several years or even more than ten years to grow up.
"I should also try harder. Tier 3... I wonder if there's anything of mine in the Moon God Relic Site."
Although he has the abilities of the Character Card and some relics as a backup, he still needs to be strong himself, right? Putting aside everything else, he needs to be physically strong, otherwise it would be a complete idiot if Alts had a chance to get together and have a party, and he could only lie there alone crying.
Fortunately, although his advancement was difficult, each advancement brought a substantial improvement in strength. Ryan didn't know what class he had switched to, but he knew he was very strong, the kind of person who was invincible among his peers, and even Blood Knight would have to bend over.

On the other side.
Janus Church.
Just after the new emperor's ceremony ended, 'Lin Qi' returned with the people of Gate of Janus and immediately received a message from headquarters.
An emergency meeting was then convened.
Lin Qi calmly said, "It seems that a suspected plague has appeared in the Eastern Continent. There is probably someone deliberately pushing this behind the scenes. According to the Pope, she hopes that we can deal with it as soon as possible to prevent the plague from spreading."
Cardinal Andeni said, "If it's a plague, it's probably related to those Spirit of Chaos. Last time we captured Heretic from the organization 'Witch,' and we got some information from him. It seems that 'Witch' is conducting some kind of experiment in secret."
"Those cult lunatics should all be wiped out!" the Templar Knight Lillard said, frowning. "Once the plague spreads, the casualties will be incalculable."
"The Eastern Continent? Where exactly is it?"
"The border area between the Kingdom of Nakadeno and the Northern Continent is a complex and chaotic region, making it easy for these things to breed."
"So that's where it is, the area that our Church hasn't covered yet."
"Yes, so the Pope wants us to go there to check on the situation, suppress any potential outbreak of plague, and also to expand the Church."
"What does the Saintess mean?"
Everyone present turned their attention to 'Lin Qi'.
"The Augustus Empire is likely to go to war with the Northern Coalition soon. The situation on the Northern Continent is unstable. Nacardo happens to be adjacent to the Northern Coalition. I'll keep an eye on this area. Bishop Andeni, Nacardo, go and investigate. What do you say?"
"Very well." Andeni Saintess slightly. "You are High Lord of the Augustus Empire, and you have sufficient reason to interfere in the situation in the Northern Continent. Moreover, if it is indeed a plague, it may have spread from the Northern Coalition... Lillard, you stay in Baron to protect the Saintess."
Lillard nodded.
Gate of Janus's ultimate goal is to expand its power, so both the war between the Augustus Empire and the Northern Coalition, and the suspected spread of the plague in Nakadno, present opportunities. The latter is especially true, as that border region is not yet covered by Gate of Janus's influence. Lighting up the faith in the wilderness would be a significant achievement for Andeni, and he is naturally happy to do it.
That is.
