Chapter 71: The Odd Trio (Part 1)
The entire New Moon City was bustling with people.
Young, adult, elderly—people of all categories moved around the city with enthusiastic expressions, making it feel as if it were a festival season.
Azrael walked along with the crowd, heading toward the city center where the recruitment event was going to be held.
As he moved, he saw many individuals patrolling the area. They carried weapons and wore armor marked with light golden stripes, their expressions stern and alert.
These people were from the Juri Tower—the tower responsible for managing the city.
The position of the Tower Master of the Juri Tower was equivalent to that of a City Lord.
Following the crowd, Azrael soon arrived at the city center.
At the heart of the area was a large open field, designated for participants to showcase their talents.
If they possessed aptitude in becoming a Knight or Mage and managed to impress the representatives of the tower they wished to join, they would be allowed entry into that tower.
The reason so many residents of New Moon City were excited about this event was simple—if they succeeded in impressing the tower representatives, they wouldn’t have to pay the enormous fees required to enter the towers.
Anyone could attempt to join a tower and pursue their dreams, but training within a tower demanded a hefty sum of money.
Most of the citizens of New Moon City lived modest lives, much like Rudheer, and their incomes weren’t enough to afford the steep tower fees.
