The black sky gradually turned into dim grey and the illumination of stars got languidly lusterless. Millions of stars in the ebony sky started hiding their brightness and got slowly dissipate as if someone was going to coming. Divergent birds were gently flying in the manifest sky and their dulcet dawn chorus was easily audible.

The first orange hued rays appeared on the skyline, which went through the clouds and the prodigious sky was easily visible. The sun came out of its abode across the brilliant orange horizon and glimmered in the sky. The sparkling sun started slowly rising up the scarlet skyline, which clearly differentiated the sky and the land.

Now the warm breeze can be felt and the plants made a beatific smile towards the sun.

After he dressed up, Alex feels quite satisfied with what he saw in the bronze mirror. He would not bother about people who judge other people by appearance. In fact, he disdained people like that. Not to mention his appearance, which absolutely not so ugly; he just only dressed up a bit shabby.

After he went out of the house, Alex wandered around the street for a while. Honestly, Alex was not too familiar with the Logue Town who now as know Nameless City, the name of city lord. He only went several times in five years ago as merchants with his father, after his father died business was taken by his stepmother and if a business falls into Alex, one day his father's merchants business will be destroyed in his hand.

He also drove out of the family for a mouth fight with his stepmother, because Alex was stupid and his appearance is so-so, he had to live with all the less. After getting news about the new owners of Logue town whose face is not so ugly as him to have a beautiful lover, that owners have become an idol for him and he wants to be like his idol.

As for the direction of the city lord Family house, that was unknown to him.

....

On the street, after eating Yakisoba, and drank a small cup of cheap wine, he could not help but pat his full belly and him twenty berries to the seller, told him to keep the change, and then clamped his old shoes as he walked away.

After walking for a few steps, he remembered that he did not know the location of the city lord's house. So he pulled the nearby uncle.

"Uncle, may I ask—"

That uncle directly interrupted Alex and handed Alex the thing in his hand.

"You are going to participate in the city lord sect's disciple selection, right? Here, this is the map to the location, only ten berries"

"What, you want this for five berries? Little brother, you're pushing too hard, that's not even enough to cover the cost of production. This is at least twenty-five berries. Okay, okay, just consider this as 'small profit but with rapid turnover,' I'll give you two of these for two thirty berries."

Alex pulled out thirty berries of his remaining balance, this money is actually for spending this month, because he is happy he has spent nearly twenty berries for wine celebrating his new life at the restaurant and gave it to an uncle who con-artist.

He then received two maps from an uncle. After that, he asked: "Uncle, this City lord sect's disciple selection is so 'large scale,' and there are so many applicants, is this call 'sect' really that good?"

Seeing thirty berries, that uncle started to open his chatterbox mouth: "Fool little brother, you must have come from the outside East Blue, as you know, in these days, the richest merchants have bought the city. Although the city lord merchants, You cannot look down on him. Maybe you do not know, there's a rumor that says a city lord is a wanted person"

"And his bounty they say more than one billion berries! hahaha he's the legendary man, who's in all blue have head price more than one billion, in the piracy time who does not want to be his student, and there is a rumor to say who can give the sects, he will be trained by the city lord himself, Therefore, the number of applicants are endless. Let me tell you, today, from this morning till now, I received no less than a hundred people, there were all young men like you and also kids"

"He stronger than former the King of pirates!"

"Thank you, uncle's name?"

Even though he had just met and talked, Alex felt close and thankful to this uncle, which has helped him.

"Uncle?, uncle's Daddy Masterson!"

"I feel familiar with this name. where did I hear yeah!" Alex had to recall this name, " if not the lieutenant...?"

"Hahaha, yeah because my wife had given birth to a daughter, and since I knew that I had a talent for becoming a con artist, I resigned from marine"

"Con artist?"

.....

After Alex parted with Daddy Masterson, he followed the road based on the map it purchases toward former marine base who's Saints Devil Sect headquarters.

He soon arrived in front of the sect headquarters, but he still needed to line up to enter the building.

There was a checkpoint in front him to test people identity who wants to join sect's selection.

'Uncle not lying, many people here for selection'

He was stunned by the number of people. He had no other choice but to endure and wait.

After more than one hour waiting, a "Next" could be heard from the checkpoint in front.

My turn?

Alex squinted and quickly walked into former marine base building area.

....

At Marine Base Area.

"Silence!" Suddenly, a figure appeared at the entrance, staring at the crowd sternly. All of the candidates shut their mouths immediately, staring fervently at this figure before them.

This person was none other than Alvida.

"Candidates who wish to take part in the disciple selection test, your 1st test… Running around Nameless City in one hour," said Alvida.

The distance around Nameless City's more than thirty kilometers.

"If you manage to arrive in an hour, can you pass the 1st stage." The moment Alvida finished, she headed up.

The candidates followed suit hurriedly, pushing and shoving to be ahead.
