After getting the freedman document, Feng Chou used the laboratory as a cover and slipped out of the Mage School again the next day.
From the four documents, he chose the oldest one. His name was Allen, and he was 26 years old. For a Level 4 Warrior, this was already very old. Generally speaking, such a person would not have much of a future on the path of a Warrior.
After choosing the identity, Feng Chou chose a suitable face from the face mask left by Qiankun Pagoda.
After changing his face, he went to the mercenary union again and applied for the warrior level test. But this time he was very careful and did not do anything excessive. He got a level 6 warrior grade B evaluation.
After getting the warrior profession document, Feng Chou went to the Bat's Wings Tavern and spent 10 crowns to take the rogue test and get the level 4 rogue part-time job document. Because he did not master the shadow power, his part-time job document only had a grade of C-.
After getting the level document, Feng Chou went to a tavern not far from the mercenary union. This tavern had a very unique name, Iron Fist. It was the largest tavern in Antalya.
Iron Fist Tavern was the place where the mercenaries of Antalya exchanged information. Representatives of the major mercenary groups would be stationed in this tavern all year round.
Feng Chou came here to seek to join a mercenary group.
According to Feng Chou's original intention, he actually wanted to act alone. But he found out that this attack on the Ogre Encampment was a war-level operation involving the Counts Of Antalya, the Mage School, and the mercenary union. The mercenary union only allowed elite mercenary groups with a credit rating of level 5 and above to participate.
In this way, Feng Chou did not dare to wander around the battlefield alone. Although Invisibility was useful, it was only a level 2 spell. If the mercenary or the mages in the army saw through it and thought he was a spy, it would be dangerous.
He felt that it would be best for him to find a mercenary group that was qualified to join the battle.
Fortunately, it wasn't difficult because the rewards for this mission were extremely generous. Moreover, most of the mercenaries thought that this mission was a sure win. Therefore, all the mercenary groups that were qualified to participate in this mission wanted to reap the greatest benefits from this sure-win mission.
In order to seize more merits in the missions, these elite mercenary groups were wantonly recruiting people. Some experts in small mercenary groups even temporarily broke up their groups and joined these elite mercenary groups.
With Feng Chou's current level as a Level 6 Warrior and Level 4 Rogue, as long as he was willing to join, there would definitely be teams willing to take him.
Being a Level 6 Warrior and a Level 4 Rogue was a very common part-time job among old mercenaries.
In order to ensure the safety of their territories, the lords of this world would conduct basic warrior training for their citizens, which was also known as militia training.
Letting the people in the territory be soldiers was the only way for the aristocratic territories to gain a foothold in the wilderness. Otherwise, a knight's territory would not be able to afford a few regular soldiers, which were retainers. If they encountered a slightly larger goblin tribe or gnoll tribe, they would not be able to defend themselves, let alone a smaller knight's territory.
Among these trained militia, there would always be some outstanding people. Some of them would be valued by the lord and would be recruited as retainers, receiving a high salary.
But even the richest knight's territory could not afford many retainers. A retainer would often serve from the age of 20 to 50 before retiring. Smaller territories might not need to recruit new retainers for several years, but the outstanding people in the militia would not stop emerging.
In this world, becoming a powerful warrior was often the most promising way for civilians to change their fate. Many young people were eager to become powerful warriors.
For ordinary people, becoming a Level 4 Warrior was not a difficult thing. In theory, as long as they worked hard, most people could reach this step.
Of course, the reality was that there were not many people who could really become a Level 4 Warrior. This was like in theory, as long as a person with an IQ of more than 100 had the potential to become an outstanding student, but in reality, there were not many outstanding students.
But in any case, there were always more outstanding warriors than retainers. What should they do?
The experience of their ancestors told the lords that forcing strong people who did not get the treatment they deserved was often the beginning of a disaster.
Militia training could not be stopped, retainer positions were too few, and outstanding warriors could not be forced to stay.
So the only way was to give them freedom.
Therefore, in most territories, as long as a militia could become a Level 4 Warrior, and he himself was willing, then he would be given the status of a free person and be allowed to leave the territory to find a way out.
It was this situation that allowed the mercenary union, the city army, and the chamber of commerce to constantly obtain high-quality soldiers.
Most of these Level 4 Warriors who left the territory would join mercenaries or become guards of the chamber of commerce, and some would join the city army.
Warriors of the fourth rank who joined the mercenaries or became guards of the Chamber of Commerce would discover that in the wastelands, strength was life. They would also discover that in wastelands battles, flexibility and agility were often more useful than strength.
For a Level 4 Warrior, advancing from Level 4 to Level 5 was a qualitative change. Not only did it require a long period of accumulation, but it also required enough talent. Therefore, accepting low-level Rogue training became one of the few options for some low-level mercenaries to improve their strength.
A Level 4 Warrior who was a Level 2 Rogue, with the blessing of the rogue specialty, could almost be used as a Level 5 Warrior.
In Antalya City, there were many martial arts schools opened by old mercenaries to provide low-level rogue training.
Some ambitious and talented young mercenaries, after becoming a Rogue of a certain level, would return to continue the warrior training in order to become a real middle-grade profession.
Of course, there were also some people who continued to move forward on the path of rogue.
When an ambitious young mercenary successfully advanced to Level 5 and became a mid-grade warrior, he would soon find that it was very difficult to continue to advance after reaching Level 6. For civilians without special blood, it was likely that Level 7 or Level 8 was the limit of their talent. Even if they had not given up, it would be difficult to reach their talent limit before their body functions deteriorated.
Therefore, when they reached Level 6 and entered the bottleneck period, these mercenaries would return to raise the level of rogue to Level 4.
For fighters, going from Level 4 to Level 5 was a genetic change and a sublimation of life. This sublimation was difficult to do twice. Therefore, most people could not raise the level of warrior and rogue to Level 5 at the same time.
A Level 6 Warrior who was a Level 4 Rogue had become the ultimate template for many old mercenaries. Some of the best ones might reach Level 7 or Level 8 Warrior. Those were guys with good talent or amazing perseverance.
Although a Level 6 Warrior who was a Level 4 Rogue was not uncommon among old mercenaries, a 26-year-old mercenary who was a Level 6 Warrior and a Level 4 Rogue was relatively rare. This often showed that the young man had amazing talent and a limitless future.
When Feng Chou took his professional level certificate and went to the Iron Fist Tavern to seek to join the mercenary group, he was immediately fought over.
