My Magical Card Tavern

"Your organization's evaluation style is really..."

"It's refreshing."

Being able to wrestle and fight against a polar rock rhinoceros is enough to deter most professionals.

Ginnell sighed and rubbed his forehead.

"Let me guess, is there another requirement in your team?"

"If you are unable to take your battle partner with you within the specified time, you may face the risk of leaving the Giant Beast Knights."

Mavis raised an eyebrow.

"You know a lot."

"There are indeed similar rules, but they will give you a chance to start over."

"After all, those who can join the Giant Beast Knights are already quite outstanding."

"The battle with your partner serves as a test, and in addition to considering combat strength, you must also consider the ability of the knight and his partner to get along."

In short, this test may seem somewhat abstract, or even inhumane, but in essence, it is a comprehensive examination that aligns with the internal style of the Beast Knights.

Mavis put her arm around Ginnell's shoulder and chuckled as she recounted an amusing anecdote about their Giant Beast Knights.

About a decade or so ago, a new member appeared in the history of their Giant Beast Knights.

That newcomer was good, but not too good. He barely passed all the practical tests for joining the Giant Beast Knights, making him a bottom-ranked candidate.

Therefore, it was only natural that the other party failed the first test. If they failed the second test as well, they would have to leave the Beast Knights or be transferred to a logistics position.

However, on the second attempt, the opponent cleared the game in an unbelievable way.

The newcomer from over ten years ago only threw one punch, and before any direct combat collision occurred, the five-meter-tall polar rock rhinoceros opposite him fell to the ground with a thud, its eyes rolling back as it deftly stuck out its tongue.

After realizing that its tongue had touched the sand and gravel on the ground, the rock rhinoceros deliberately retracted its tongue, turning it into a drooping object on its teeth, pretending to be dead, with saliva dripping all over the ground.

Is it over?

This is clearly a match-fixing stunt by Rock Rhino!

Didn't you pass?

However, the rock rhinoceros had already fallen to the ground and even let out a few wail-like cries, proving that this was not a simple draw, but a complete and utter victory.

Wow, my battle partner is so strong.

If so.

Ginnell clicked his tongue, and the Arctic rhinoceros, having finished its beer, came over and nudged Ginnell with its sharp horn as a gesture of friendliness.

Genelec asked, "So, if you can get your fighting partner to voluntarily admit defeat—or rather, to deliberately put on an act—that also counts as a pass?"

Mavis nodded seriously.

Why not?

"Being able to gain Yanxi's trust and recognition in such a short time is also a kind of ability."

"Although that newcomer still couldn't stay on the front line, he became the most sought-after beast tamer in the Knights, specializing in the care and breeding of Arctic rock rhinoceroses."

"Oh, by the way, I'm just afraid you don't know, so I'll mention it again. That former newcomer, now a senior and elder, is now the vice-commander of the Northern Union Giant Beast Knights."

Ginnell gave a thumbs up.

"I know that your Northern Union is full of talented people, but it's not surprising that a senior of that level can become a deputy commander."

"With such enlightened policies and systems, the Northern Alliance will succeed in whatever it does."

Mavis laughed heartily.

"I'm not saying this to show off, but just to have a chat. After all, this is a well-known joke in our Knights Order."

"Every time, people felt that the scene of that assessment seemed fake."

"However, when it comes to strength and success, our Northern Union is far from being strong enough."

Mavis said, her eyes filled with admiration.

"Ginnell, do you know the Golden Empire? It's the oldest and most powerful empire in human history."

Genele nodded to indicate that he understood.

The Golden Empire, the earliest human kingdom on the continent of Pangaea, has a name that itself carries historical significance.

Speaking of which, the Golden Empire and Luke's orc tribe are neighbors.

That empire was located in the south-central part of Pangu and had an extremely vast territory.

If humanity itself is a kind of faith, then the Golden Empire is the holy land of that faith.

The titles "grand civilization," "living historical dragon," and "son of Pangu" were all bestowed upon the Golden Empire by historians and bards.

In summary, it's incredibly fierce, so fiercely fierce that it doesn't seem like a normal country.

As an empire, you should experience the initial period of strength and stability, followed by a period of decline, with corrupt officials running rampant, and a powerless exterior with only the audacity to bully your own people.

The accumulation of problems, their increasingly unbridled rampage, the stench and destruction from top to bottom, finally led to the collapse of the empire in a process of internal rupture!

You should do it this way!

Instead of living longer and longer like a giant dragon coiled above history and time, it can maintain its national strength above the basic level!

The Golden Empire may have had its periods of decline, but it always managed to survive.

How could you do this!

The plot of the Corner Empire isn't written like this!

Ginnell still remembered Zhongdeng vividly describing the ancient and powerful Golden Empire to him, and mentioning the other races that had established stable external ties with the Golden Empire.

Assuming this is a harem-style romance simulation game, then the Golden Empire is the most hardcore player among humans on the Pangu Continent.

Without a doubt, aside from a few villains who were born of evil gods and don't need to be won over, the Golden Empire has already maxed out the favorability of other races and has completely exhausted its network of connections and resources.

The level of favorability may fluctuate occasionally, but that's normal.

Regarding seniority and experience.

Many wanted the Golden Empire to collapse and be replaced, but even more wanted it to remain peaceful and prosperous.

Take, for example, Mavis Glen, who's standing right in front of Ginell.

Although the other party's idea may seem far-fetched to outsiders, you have to admit that it is an ambitious goal.

Make the Northern Union as great as the Golden Empire.

Ginnell glanced at Mavis a few times, thinking that the Glen family's bloodline was really something. The exceptionally talented Mavis was like this, and even the mediocre Morin was full of fighting spirit for the future.

Mavis looked at her satisfied companion, smiled and said goodbye to Ginell, indicating that she had to go back to write a report; the changes in the Dark Forest still needed a paper record.

"See you next time. I'll bring him with me then. I hope the tavern's wooden doors can accommodate my companion."

"Don't worry about me not being able to pay for the drinks. The Gran family is well-off, and my salary in the Beast Knights is not low either."

Gianna crossed her arms and couldn't help but pause for a moment when she heard this.

"Could you give me a tip of 10,000 gold coins?"

Mavis stumbled and looked back in disbelief.

"Don't tell me this is considered basic pricing in your tavern!"

Genelec smiled.

"Not exactly."

"The last person who bragged to me like that, I asked him the same question."
