Ace Continent, Sophia Kingdom, Aden City, Landi Viscount's Palace.

"Lan Ke, get up, today is your ability appraisal day, don't get up yet." The woman in the purple palace dress knocked on the door and said.

The man on the bed rolled over, grabbed a messy hair, and got up helplessly, ready to wash.

Lan Ke was born in the Sophia Kingdom of Ace Continent, is a nobleman of the kingdom, the fourth child of Viscount Landi, and has two eldest brothers and an eldest sister, he is the youngest. His mother was the Viscount's concubine, and it was the Viscount who accidentally made a mistake when he drank too much, and the Viscount had no feelings for his mother. The other three children above were all born to the main mother, so Lan Ke's mother and son are often excluded by the main mother, the main mother of the family deducts resources, and the subordinates do not look at their mother and son, Lan Ke wants to rebel, but because the family hierarchy is clear, Lan Ke is not a son-in-law, and he has no right to inherit the title in the future, so in this world, he can only accept it and barely live.

"Mother, is my father with me today?" Lanko looked at his mother expectantly.

The mother looked at her son's expectant eyes, swallowed a mouthful of water and said, "Lanke, your father has something to do today, and your mother will accompany you." ”

"Oh." Lan Ke said disappointedly, his heart is very lost, ability appraisal day is a very important choice in life, his father is not accompanied, indicating that his father does not pay attention to himself at all, he is dispensable for his father, and today is an important part of determining his future career for himself. In the Ace Continent, the top professions are divided into three types: Dou Shi, Priest and Mage, and the rest are ordinary professions, Dou Shi needs to have innate Dou Qi, without Dou Qi, he cannot condense the Dantian, and the Dantian can store the Dou Qi to empower weapons or other carriers; Priests are sacred attributes, need innate spiritual strength, through prayer and communication with the gods to obtain divine power, priests generally serve in the Holy See, do not operate outside, only serve the Holy See and the gods; Mages are the rarest on this continent, in addition to having strong spiritual power, mages also need to have elemental affinity, generally speaking, as long as they can obtain an elemental affinity recognition, they can become magicians, magicians have strong destructive power and creativity, and the status of magicians in the entire continent Magicians belong to the top professions, and junior magicians who are recognized by the Magicians Guild automatically become nobles of the kingdom and have the title of baron.

Lan Ke's mother didn't say anything, living in the aristocracy can only accept this hierarchical system, the commoners live in dire straits to survive, the nobles live in the rise and fall of the kingdom, the success or failure of the kingdom lives to rule, each has its own way of survival.

"Mother, I'm alright, let's go." Lanke wore a blue suit today, looking very capable.

The mother looked at her handsome son, her heart was surging, her son had finally grown up, and he would be a real teenager from today onwards, no matter what profession he became, as long as he was healthy and safe.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? Not feeling well? Lan Ke looked at his mother in a daze and asked with concern.

"It's fine." The mother wiped the water from her forehead, took her son and stepped out of their hut, and out of the Viscount's Mansion through the side door. Except for the viscount, the matriarch and the eldest son, everyone else went through the side door, which was the rule of the entire aristocracy, and the status of the nobility was guaranteed through various privilege systems.

"Mother, if I can't become a top professional, I will go to the military camp and establish military merits, and I will definitely become famous." Lanke secretly clenched his fists, unwilling to accept the status quo and mediocrity.

The young woman in the palace costume looked at her son, stroked her son's hair and said: "I hope you are healthy and safe, my mother hopes that you can find an errand in the city lord's mansion, and live an ordinary life, not for glory and wealth, but for a worry-free life." ”

"Mother, I was born in a noble family, but I am like a subordinate, although I have a worry-free life, but I look at people's faces, my father doesn't care, I don't want to be confused, I want to control my own life." Lanke looked up at the sky, blue sky and white clouds, and suddenly longed to become stronger in his heart.

The young woman in the palace dress pursed her lips, didn't say anything, and led her son towards the square of the city lord's mansion.

-------------------

Ace Continent, Sophia Kingdom, Aden City Square.

"Lanke, this is the place to test your abilities." The young woman in palace clothes pointed to the square in front of her and said.

"It's big, it's majestic." Lan Ke was stunned, because the family status is not high, Lan Ke only goes out a few times a year, and he follows his family to participate in various games and banquets, and he is accompanied by a carriage when he goes in and out, and there is no such thing as today, which can be observed up close.

The square is lined with white towering stone pillars on both sides, and in the middle is a huge circular square, where two rows of iron-clad samurai stand in the square leading to the castle lord's mansion, neatly aligned, and there is a porch at the entrance to the square to check the documents or materials of the people who enter.

The young woman took out a purple card from the small bag she was carrying, handed it to the military attache who was inspecting at the door, and said, "Lan Ke, who turned ten years old today, came to the ability appraisal." ”

The military attache took the purple card, looked at the information on it, looked up and compared with Lan Ke next to the young woman and said, "From the Viscount Landi's Mansion?" Let's go into Passage 4. ”

After speaking, he was about to return the card to the young woman, when there was a sound of horses' hooves from behind, and a carriage stopped, and a young man about the height of Lanke stepped out of the carriage, walked to the military attache and said, "Carlo, the princess of the Duke's Mansion of Mandala, I will go to the first passage." ”

After speaking, without waiting for the military attache to reply, he directly pushed away the young woman in the palace costume, looked at Lan Ke and walked into the porch.

"You, why are you pushing people?" Lanko said angrily when he saw his mother being pushed away.

The mother immediately grabbed Lanko, pulled Lanko aside and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Carlo looked back at the young woman, nodded, and said to the military attache at the door, "Register my card and send it in." "Then he went straight into the passage.

"Mother, why?" Lanko said angrily.

"Boy, your mother is for your good, but she is the sister-in-law of the Duke's Palace, the first heir to the throne, the top nobleman in the future, and the power is monstrous, so you can be dealt with without opening your mouth." The military attache handed the registered card back to the young woman and said. "In the kingdom, nobles have the power of life and death, except for nobles who have titles, the duke can kill anyone who does not have a title, including the family members of nobles who have not received a title."

The young woman nodded, and didn't say anything, in the whole continent, it's like this, you can't adapt and can only be eliminated, the young woman picked up the purple card and handed it to Lan Ke, helped Lan Ke sort out her clothes and said to Lan Ke: "Go and identify it." ”

Lan Ke didn't say anything, grabbed the purple card, rushed into the porch, and walked into the fourth passage.

"Madame, sit down for a moment." The military attache blessed his body and gave up his place for the young woman in the palace to sit, after all, it was the viscount's family, and the etiquette should still be there. "If your child awakens to the top professions, you have hope."

The young woman in the palace costume smiled and said: "If you don't have family resources to cultivate from an early age, you won't have a chance at all, just go through the motions." ”

"It's true that priests and mages rely on lineage, and without lineage there is no hope. Doushi needs to use potions to cultivate from an early age, and this set will require thousands of purple diamond coins a year, and there will be hope for more than five years, and this cost can be worth the cost of raising an army of 1,000 people. The military attache sighed helplessly, "One in a million people with innate fighting spirit, it depends on whether your son has hope." ”

"Lanke is weak and thin, so I guess there is no hope." The young woman in the palace costume said without any hope.

"Also, this year, there are only more than 100 people who have awakened the Dou Master, most of them are the heirs of high-ranking titles, and there are only a few civilians." The military attache said helplessly.

In the Ace Continent, birth determines everything, for thousands of years, regardless of the change of dynasty, birth determines life, resources are in the hands of nobles, ordinary civilians have no chance at all, even if there are civilians awakening top professions, they also need more resources to grow, resources need money, only through the support of nobles can they grow quickly, then they must serve nobles. Either you will learn from a mentor or join a guild or explore and learn from the academy on your own, but the growth rate will be very slow.
