Chapter 61: My body needs a powerful remedy

"This time, I'm looking for recruits who are sharp-minded and not afraid of heights. I'll have a single tall pole set up outside the town. Anyone who can climb to the top and stay there until the hourglass runs out will have passed the test. I'll provide the hourglass too. Whoever makes it through will get an annual salary of twelve gold coins."

After Romon finished explaining his requirements, the mayor and the surrounding townsfolk looked completely puzzled.

What kind of soldier was he recruiting with these criteria?

Sharp-minded, no fear of heights—what kind of unit was that?

"Lord, can ordinary folks like us try?" someone in the crowd asked.

"Of course. This round of recruitment is meant for the common people. Even if you used to be a farmer or herdsman, you're welcome to give it a shot."
