It was already evening, and the faint golden light of the sunset adorned this city of sin.

There were no incidents during the process of entering the Inner City; Liens didn't even feel the carriage they were riding in slow down.

No guards blocked them, no guards came forward to question them…

It was as if the gate that blocked the dreams of countless Outer City commoners was just an illusion.

But everyone knew that it had always been there, existing since the city was first established.

Liens watched the gate gradually disappear from his sight and silently withdrew his gaze.

There was nothing left to see; the entire Inner City, only that gate still held some significance.

Because it symbolized class.

As for the layout and environment of the rest of the Inner City, no matter how good or clean it was, in Liens's eyes, it was merely an external decoration for that gate.

"Aren't you going to take a good look?"

"The scenery in the Inner City is quite beautiful; I've never seen such clean streets."

"And those houses are so tall, so big, so beautiful, so magnificent—much better than the houses in the Outer City."

Ben, seeing Liens pull his head back into the carriage, asked him with a hint of surprise.

After the carriage entered the Inner City, everyone inside couldn't suppress their curiosity and fully opened the carriage doors, allowing the outside scenery to completely enter their view.

Everyone wanted to see the beautiful scenery of the Inner City, which was rumored in the Outer City.

"No… I've seen enough."

"It is quite beautiful, but the more you look, the more it all feels the same."

"Besides, we will likely be staying in this Inner City from now on, so we'll have plenty of opportunities to appreciate it, won't we?"

"So, there's no need to rush."

Liens replied to Ben.

Although he couldn't appreciate the so-called beautiful scenery, his answer was not perfunctory to Ben.

Didn't the instructor say earlier that "they would go to the family's station"?

Since the carriage brought them into the Inner City, it meant that the Glenbagen Family's Location was within the Inner City.

They were all working here, so wouldn't they have opportunities to admire the scenery here in the future?

Currently, Liens was still somewhat optimistic about his future work.

No matter how much they were exploited, they had to be given some "free time," right? A.l^w*ay*s re!a$d& fr#o%m the s.our.c%e: *.!

Otherwise, if it was just moving them to another place to lock them up again, the instructor wouldn't have needed to say so much nonsense to them.

Upon hearing this, Ben also confirmed that Liens indeed had no further interest in appreciating the Inner City.

And he himself didn't really care much for such scenery.

It was only because it was his first time entering the Inner City that he was somewhat curiously looking around.

So, Ben also turned back and started chatting with Liens, and in the middle, Harriman also joined in, and the three of them began to talk about some interesting stories.

This period was one of Liens's rare relaxed moments.

Time passed quickly, or rather, this amount of time was not long to begin with.

The carriage finally stopped at a large courtyard, and Liens and the others were called down by the coachman.

The courtyard was very large, adorned with various rockeries and vegetation, looking very elegant, and with the golden glow of the sunset, it resembled an ancient painting.

"You all wait here; someone will come to explain the situation to you soon."

"By then, you will know what you should do."

The "inspector" whom Liens had been thinking about instructed Liens and the others.

After speaking, without waiting for Liens and the others to respond, he hurried away with the other four "inspectors," as if he had an urgent matter.

And this "soon" was indeed very soon; a few minutes after those "inspectors" left, another person entered the courtyard.

That person was dressed in simple black clothes, had a sturdy build, an ordinary appearance, and a long sword hanging from his waist.

After he entered, he walked straight towards Liens and the others.

"You all must be newcomers who just graduated from the Training Camp, right? This batch of yours arrived much earlier than before."

"Let me introduce myself; my name is Jonathan."

"Like you, I am also a graduate of the Training Camp, just a few years earlier than you."

After approaching, Jonathan smiled and gave a brief self-introduction to Liens and the others.

"Next, I will explain the relevant situation to you one by one."

"Hmm… let's leave here first."

"The lords, young masters, and young ladies of the family often admire the scenery here, and such a large group of us standing here is a bit of an eyesore."

Jonathan continued.

After speaking, he motioned for Liens and the others to follow him out of the courtyard.

Naturally, Liens and the others, being new arrivals, had no intention of resisting and followed him out of the courtyard.

"As people trained and cultivated by the family through rigorous training, our work is actually very simple: to complete various tasks issued by the family."

"Of course, the family doesn't make us work for nothing; tasks also have rewards."

"It's roughly similar to what ordinary people imagine an Adventurer to be."

"Different tasks have different rewards."

"For example, my current job of receiving you is a simple task."

Only after everyone had walked out of the elegant courtyard did Jonathan begin to explain the job content to Liens and the others as they walked.

"The rewards for family tasks are a type of accumulable contribution points; don't underestimate this, it's very useful."

"It can be exchanged for various things the family can provide us, including weapons, potions, and even money."

"Oh, by the way, you all must have heard the instructor mention 'Knight,' right?"

"The highest reward that contribution points can redeem is the opportunity to become a 'Knight.'"

"And as long as you become a 'Knight,' the family will naturally release your 'contract.'"

"How about it? Hearing this, you should somewhat understand how important contribution points are to us."

At this point, Jonathan paused, turned back and glanced at Liens and the others, seemingly confirming their thoughts or waiting for them to ask questions.

"What is the opportunity to become a 'Knight'?"

Someone, unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, asked Jonathan.

"A bottle of potion."

Jonathan replied with a smile.

"Uh, potion? What does a potion have to do with a Knight?"

Upon hearing this, that person became even more confused and questioned Jonathan again.

Not only him, but the others present also had this doubt.

"This is because our understanding of 'Knight' is not the same."

"You might think the 'Knight' I'm referring to is a noble title, but the 'Knight' I'm talking about here actually refers to the Extraordinary profession—Knight."

"You might not understand the concept of 'Extraordinary profession' yet, but it doesn't matter; you'll gradually understand how important this is."

"You only need to know now that as long as you become an Extraordinary Knight, the family will release your 'contract.'"

"Furthermore, you can even become part of the family's management because of this, which for us is not much different from becoming a noble."

"Moreover, this is not without precedent."

Jonathan explained to Liens and the others with a smile.
