Chapter 9: The Devil-Faced Eagle
Seeing Adelia questioning his decision, Elder Curzon lowered his face and reprimanded sternly, "Adelia, you are too presumptuous. Summoned beasts without magical abilities have little value, and in formal engagements, summoned beasts lacking magical abilities have low survivability. The power of the physics department alone can't help anyone. β
The scolding from Curzon made Adelia have to stop her mouth.
She knew that she didn't have any weight to say when evaluating ranks, and her questioning would not have any effect on the results. She had to look uneasily at the elves who were in charge of the records. They've stopped recording and started sorting out the scrolls.
Does my class matter?
Given's suddenly telepathically asked Adelia.
Of course, it was a little unpleasant for him to be rated as a low-grade goods, but he didn't understand why Adelia was so sensitive.
But Adelia's answer surprised Jiwen.
If you can't be rated as a fourth-order summoning beast, I won't be eligible to participate in the Royal Summoning Academy's admission selection competition. If I hadn't been able to attend the Royal Summoning Academy, I would never have had the chance to become a Forbidden Spell Summoner.
Adella's heart was thrilled at the moment.
She managed to obtain Elder Curzon's scroll and magic crystal, but something seemed to go wrong when she summoned it, and she finally managed to get a good-looking summoned beast, but she couldn't pass the rank test.
She was unwilling, but there seemed to be nothing she could do.
In this elven kingdom that is proud to be a summoner, there are nine ranks: summoning apprentice, trainee summoner, summoner, high-level summoner, grand summoner, summoning archmage, summoning envoy, summoning envoy, summoning envoy, summoning envoy, and summoning divine envoy. Each rank is divided into three grades: gold, silver, and copper.
And the forbidden spell summoner is the kind of peerless madman whose strength far exceeds that of the ninth-order golden pattern summoning divine envoy, and they are all characters who have only appeared in legends, and this is also Adella's goal.
In Sodima City's Summoning Academy, limited by teachers and teaching resources, it only cultivates a fifth-order grand summoner. If you want to continue your studies, you must go to the Royal Calling Academy in the national capital.
However, the selection examination of the Royal Summoning School is extremely harsh, and only the current third-order summoners who have graduated from various academies are eligible to apply, and the applicants must also have summoned beasts above the fourth order.
The vast majority of third-order summoners can only summon third-order summoned beasts, and only a small number of geniuses or with the help of props or scrolls can they potentially summon fourth-order summoned beasts beyond the ranks.
This threshold deterred most applicants, and only a lucky few made it to the Royal Summoning Academy, the only school that produced summoned emissaries and forbidden spell mages.
Therefore, Jiwen's rank has become the key to all problems.
After listening to Adella's explanation, Jiwen suddenly felt a little disappointed.
If Adelia can't become a forbidden spell summoner, won't she never be able to go back?
Although this chance is very slim, the feeling of losing hope is extremely uncomfortable.
Givens looked up at the elves, frowned, and sent another message to Adella.
Don't worry, I'll figure it out!
Can you?'
Adelia was taken aback.
Look at it.
I saw Jiwen striding forward and came to the front of the group of elves.
This abrupt move made the elves all raise their heads and look at this strangely behaved summoned creature.
As everyone watched, a loud voice came from under the skeletal beast's head.
"If I can defeat a fourth-order summoned beast, can I be rated as a fourth-order?"
The inquiry silenced the surroundings completely, and even a pin dropped sounded so harsh.
Seeing that the people around him did not react, Jiwen asked loudly again, and the voice spread throughout the hall and flew into everyone's ears.
"If I can defeat a fourth-order summoned beast, I don't need to go through these boring tests anymore and directly rate it as a fourth-order, right?"
There was no one in the hall answering, and there was silence.
The corners of the Archon's mouth turned up again, and she was the first to break the silence, "We should note that this beast seems to have a decent intellect and can use our language. β
The elves who had been sorting out the scroll just now heard the Archon's evaluation, and immediately re-unfolded the scroll and recorded it with a magic pen.
Given's words reminded Adelia. She hurriedly took a few steps forward again, and argued loudly: "Teacher, he once defeated the fourth-order monster Hell Demon Lizard, then it should at least have the ability equivalent to the fourth-order summoned beast. β
Elder Curzon seemed unhappy with the accident, and he raised his voice and said in a suppressed voice, "Occasional luck doesn't tell the story. β
But just then, a voice began to refute Elder Curzon's words.
"However, I remember that in the rank test, it was allowed to prove the ability of summoned beasts by means of challenges. β
The owner of the voice turned out to be the archon Midharya, who actually spoke for Adella.
"But that method is mostly used to evaluate high-level summoned beasts. β
Elder Curzon glanced at the archon and pushed back again.
However, in the test rules, there is no prohibition on using this method in the evaluation of low-level summoned beasts. β
Midoria glanced at Elder Curzon and smiled decorated again.
Archon Midoria was already sensitively aware that Elder Curzon's actions today were strange.
Adelia is one of Curzon's most proud protΓ©gΓ©s, if this summoned beast is rated as a fourth-order or above. Then Adelia will be qualified to participate in the selection examination of the Royal Call Academy, which is impossible for the old man not to know.
At the beginning, he gave the summoning scroll and magic crystal to Adelea, and it was Curzon himself, but now that the summoning beast has been summoned,
Elder Curzon tried desperately to prevent this summoned beast from being rated higher, which was extremely abnormal, and seemed to be trying to hide something.
Originally, Midoria had come today to use safety as an excuse to prevent Adelia from qualifying. But now that she had changed her mind, she wanted to see what the old man Curzon was paying attention to.
"I think a challenge is a good way to do it, and if Elder Curzon doesn't bother to do it, then let me do it for me. β
Midoria took advantage of Curzon's bowing head and remaining silent, and took another step closer.
"If you insist, I don't have a problem, it's something that is in line with the rules of the test. β
Elder Curzon, who was familiar with the Archon's style, knew that there was no point in continuing to persevere, so he acquiesced in the proposal.
I saw the archon wave his hand gracefully, and a lightning shadow flashed from behind her, rushing straight towards Jiwen.
Elder Curzon narrowed his eyes, knowing that it was the Archon's personal bodyguard, the warrior Hucker.
When Jivin saw the strange blade, the cold light was only an inch away from his eyes.
In an instant, an elven warrior had moved in front of Jiwen.
He was dressed in dark green elven armor, and the armor on his chest was inlaid with a strange disc carved with strange patterns, and the lines were inlaid with hedrons of various colors. The elven warrior's gaze didn't show any emotion, just stared at Jiwen, ready to stab the blade into the back of the beast's head skeleton at any moment.
It was so fast that Givens didn't have time to react.
This result made Elder Curzon breathe a sigh of relief, and he hurriedly said, "This kind of inferior reaction and perception is only at the level of a first-order summoned beast at most, and it is useless to have empty power. β
Hearing this, Jiwen turned his head sideways in dissatisfaction and glanced sideways at the gray-haired old elf.
The old man's repeated belittlement of himself has already made Jiwen a little angry.
No matter what this old guy said today, he must fight for a fourth-order assessment for himself, so that the elf girl has a chance to become a forbidden spell summoner.
Thinking of this, he turned his head again, and met the elven warrior's eyes.
The warrior still looked at Jiwen expressionlessly, and continued to maintain a ready-to-attack posture.
Givens suddenly took a sharp step forward.
The cold glittering blade pierced through the skeletal beast's head and stabbed into Jiwen's head.
But Jiwen didn't stop, and after a step, Jiwen had already overlapped with the elven warrior.
"Spirits!"
Some of the elves watching the battle exclaimed, but before their voices could be heard, Gilvin had already grasped the warrior's wrist and neck, put his foot against his heel, and flipped him to the ground in one fell swoop.
Having practiced judo and sanda, Yoshivan now has a peculiar physique that allows him to overlap his opponent's body. It makes it easier for him to use those grappling and wrestling skills to restrain his opponent's moves from impossible angles.
Hookel wasn't an ordinary person, but he had never experienced such an attack, and he hadn't expected the immense power of the seemingly inconspicuous minion on the other side. The summon clamp made him almost immobile.
He had been firmly pinned to the ground by Given, and the short blade had also been thrown to the ground, thrown far away.
"Hooker, use magic!"
Archon Midharya, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but scream, she didn't expect her guards to be completely suppressed by the summoned beast so easily.
Midharya's reminder made the elven warrior named Hookel immediately wake up, only to see his lips move slightly, and the mixed elven armor flashed with a burst of green light, and the air around him immediately began to lose heat.
Jiwen noticed that the temperature around him was dropping sharply, and his right hand, which was holding the armor of his opponent's wrist, began to show the color of frost, and the bone-chilling cold immediately spread along his limbs, and Jiwen's body immediately fell into ice.
"Bang!"
There was a sound of ice crystals shattering, and Givenn let go of the elven warrior, shattering the shackles of ice and dodging to the side.
At his feet, shattered ice crystals were scattered to the ground.
And the elven warrior on the ground also seemed to be injured, and his body overlapped with Jiwen's body just now. The extreme cold that penetrated Jiwen also seeped into the warrior's body, penetrating his internal organs.
Now Hooker's face was pale, his lips were bloodless, and most of his body was shrouded in frost, barely maintaining a half-kneeling position.
"Hucker, stand down. β
Seeing that the guards were injured, the archon Midoria stepped forward. But she stared at Jiwen's eyes, but told Jiwen that the test was not over.
"Let me see what else you can do. β
I saw the consul Midoria lightly point with his hand, and a tearing pain came from Jiwen's right arm, making him almost faint.
But the instinct to survive caused him to roll on his side twice and escape from the place of death.
The right hand is no longer perceptible!
Jiwen felt a burning pain from the elbow down to his right arm, and his whole person was almost unsteady on his feet.
He looked back at where he had been standing, taken aback.
There was a translucent white birdman hovering there. He had a human-like body, but his head was a white falcon, his back was spread out with a pair of large white wings, and in his right hand he carried a long sword that shimmered with purple magic.
Blood was dripping from the edge of the sword, dripping at the feet like eagle's claws.
"You bastard!"
Vengeful rage filled Given's chest, and he immediately slammed sideways into it.
But the translucent birdman disappeared into thin air.
This birdman will be invisible!
Losing his target, Givens threw himself into the air and staggered a few steps. But before he could stand still, the birdman emerged from the sky to his left
The magic sword slashed straight at his neck.
