Chapter 142: Subtle Awareness
"Aminor, you're just in time! Look at their academy, they don't even have a guide, it's just too unsophisticated!" Marcus said angrily. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Aeno curled up in his cloak and nodded, looking at Marcus who was about to speak and stopped, as if he was not in high spirits.
"What's wrong?" Marcus asked, "Did your summer trip to the Holy King's capital to complain to the lord not go well?"
Aeno nodded and shook her head, she subconsciously looked around, hesitated for a moment and finally asked in a low voice, "Marcas, do you know Augustus, the current Speaker of the Holy Council?"
"Speaker Augustus?" Marcus was stunned: "I know a little bit, Speaker Augustus was born in the aristocratic class of the Ralk Empire, which is another empire in the west of our Gesok Empire, and his territory is inherited in the south of Ralk, and the country of the dead is very close to the Forest of Meath, and the trade is developed. ”
It is said that Augustus joined the army from a young age, and although he was not as dazzling as those legendary battlefield commanders, he finally sat in the position of commander of the army after many years of steady and steady work, and even made great contributions in the Battle of the Blood Moon more than thirty years ago, and since then he entered politics and won the support of many parliamentarians, and only then was he elected by the parliament as the new speaker eight years ago. ”
"What's the matter, have you seen Speaker Augustus in the royal capital?" asked Marcas.
Aeno was about to answer, when he suddenly saw a blonde girl walking not far away, and hurriedly whispered: "Don't talk about this for now, I'll tell you when I see Mo Lin and them." ”
Before he finished speaking, he remembered the girl's voice: "Hello, you two are here for summer study, right?
The two nodded.
"My name is Talisa, I'm in charge of reception, I just delayed a little late, come with me!" Talisa said politely, she was in a very good mood at the thought of getting a blue crystal bubble fish as a pet soon, and even spoke in a polite tone.
"My name is Makas, Marcas—ahem," Marcus coughed awkwardly, "from Gessock." ”
"Aeno. The little vampire said briefly.
"Which house are you two from?" asked Talisa.
"Iluvita Academy of Magic. Marcus replied.
"Eh, you're from Illuvita too, and do you know a guy named Maureen Callander?" asked Talisa.
"Yes, we are friends. Marcus said, "Has he arrived?"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Talisa's face: "Ahhh......h
Next to the trial ladder, there were already onlookers gathered at this time.
In the spirit of making money together, Captain Oran's gamble was quickly spread, and the students of Victor Academy gathered one after another. The trial ladder is a very important assessment of their academy, except for those senior students who are about to graduate and a very small number of junior students, most of them can only stop at more than twenty steps even after training.
That's a good result.
Now Captain Orlan is betting that this boy from nowhere can survive the thirty steps, and the odds of winning or losing are the same as five or five, isn't this an obvious gift of money? It seems that Senior Orlan is about to graduate, and he sympathizes with them and wants to give everyone some benefits.
Of course, everyone is also quite giving face to the seniors, and they won't be pressed too much, a few hundred gold coins per person, and a few fourth-order crystal cards mean that they have received the heart of the senior Oran, and the seniors usually take care of everyone, and everyone is not too embarrassed to receive too big red envelopes before leaving.
A personable Oran stood in front of the trial ladder at this time, looking at the thick stack of magic crystal cards pressed by the juniors and sisters in his hand, and his face was no longer the chic demeanor of the past. While quietly wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead with his magic power, he looked at the young man in the illusion as if he couldn't help but want to go in and take the challenge in for Morin.
Merlin had already reached the fourteenth step, more than halfway to the thirtieth step, and every time he saw his soldiers being pounced on by the blue wolf, Orlan couldn't help but feel a pain in his flesh, and felt that a large piece of his money bag had deflated. Fortunately, it seemed that the young man had gradually adapted to the changes and stabilized his position, so that he would not be kicked out immediately, but the goal of the thirtieth order was getting farther and farther away.
"How's it going, Grandpa Bolburn, when are you going to catch the sparkling fish?" asked Talisa, who had arrived with Marcus and Aeno.
Then she saw that Mo Lin hadn't been kicked out yet, and turned her head unhappily and muttered to the two: "No, that guy named Mo Lin is undergoing a trial, you two wait for him for a while, and he will definitely come out soon." ”
Although I don't know why Mo Lin is in that illusion and why there are so many people watching next to him, the two of them usually watch Mo Lin and Tilna's command training, and when they saw this novel form of simulated command, they also stopped to watch.
After a while, Marcus somehow heard what others said about the gambling game, approached the captain of Orlan, gritted his teeth and solemnly took out a fifth-order crystal card, worth about a thousand gold coins, and bet it on the side that supported Morin, which made the sweaty young man breathe a sigh of relief.
"Marcas, why do you look a little weird?" Equino couldn't help but ask, and when she met him from the docks, Aeno noticed that something was not quite right with him, and at this time, she was even more sure when she saw Marcas's solemn expression.
You must know that a thousand gold coins Marcus used to throw out with a flick of his hand.
She asked with concern, "Did you come home with anything ......?"
"It's nothing......" Marcus replied slightly stiffly.
Before he could finish speaking, a familiar voice came from not far away: "Yo, isn't this Marcas, it's nothing, I heard about something terrible a few days ago!"
Aeno turned his head and found that it was Cleo Cowley, a member of Lane's group, and their group had also won the winning group award, and they also came to Victor Academy for exchange and study in the summer, and somehow Cleo also came here to watch.
Marcas's face was a little stiff, but he still stiffly pushed back: "Count Cowley is so boring, he pays attention to some big things every day, no wonder the people always complain that he is not doing his job." ”
"Hehe, I can't say it's a big thing about sesame," Cleo was not annoyed at all, and said with a smile: "Besides, it's not that I want to pay attention, you were crossed out of the title succession list by the Grand Duke of Maple Leaf early, and this matter has spread all over Gessock, and I can't cover it-"
"Ah?!" Exclaimed Aenuor, "What?"
"You haven't told your 'friends' yet?" Cleo looked at Marcas's pale face, then at Morin in the illusion, and smiled flirtatiously, "I wouldn't be happy if I encountered this, would I?"
"Although I don't know what the specific reason is, for the sake of Gesok's classmates, I advise you and Morin to draw a clear line as soon as possible, so as to save yourself from being excluded by everyone even if you don't know who you are in the end. After saying that, Clio pretended to pat his sleeve and turned away, not staying here to continue watching the excitement.
“…… What's going on Marcas?" Aeno asked in a whisper as he pulled Marcus to the side.
After a year of studying at Illuvita, she also learned a lot about the nobility, and it was quite a serious matter to have her name crossed off the succession list, which meant not only that the title would not be inherited by him, but that even if his two brothers and one sister refused to inherit the title, and even if they both died unexpectedly, Marcus would not be allowed to inherit the title.
It's almost the equivalent of expelling him from the house.
"How...... Is it because you applied to the School of Mechanics and Manufacturing, and your father is so angry?" asked Aeno.
Marcus smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It has nothing to do with this. ”
"Why is that?" Aeno wondered.
Marcus glanced at Morin in the illusion, sighed and said, "It's not because this guy is ......"
……
The white light flashed, and Merlin took the time to relax as he lined up the newly replenished soldiers to join the formation.
He has figured out a way to deal with the more powerful individuals in the wolf pack, which is borrowed from a formation of low-level troops against high-level troops, and the battle line divided into several layers according to the difference in strength can be adjusted relatively quickly, coupled with a flexible support queue, it will not be chaotic for a few powerful blue wolves, nor will it allow ordinary blue wolves to break through the formation.
In the eighteenth wave of the attack just now, he only lost three soldiers, this is the best he commanded after the tenth wave of attack, the corner of the young man's mouth showed a smile, live and learn, he is still very powerful, these blue wolf attack methods are the same, just in response to the strengths of the young man's fighting.
Coupled with the fact that he re-found the "feel" at this time, the teenager felt that his mood was particularly comfortable.
Come on, come on, what other changes in your magical illusion can be used!
The teenagers in the stadium laughed comfortably, and some people outside the stadium were anxious.
You're still laughing! You're still laughing! Orlan on the sidelines looked at the young man in the illusion and couldn't help but want to go in and give him a kick, do you know how many troops you lost in vain in the previous few layers? Do you know! Where did this bear kid come from, and who did he learn it from?!
You're going to go to the 30th Order! Not the 20th Order, not the 25th Order, it's the 30th Order! Do you know that if you get kicked out early, I'll be bankrupt! Hurry up and give me a serious bit! Bear child! Little ghost! Boy! Big brother...... Eldest brother...... Big brother, let's be serious, okay......
After a short while, the crystal card in front of him stacked up to a new height, and Oran's heart at this time could be described as full of mixed feelings.
Of course, Morin didn't know that so many people were watching outside, and he didn't know that Captain Oran, the famous captain of Victor Academy, had secretly started calling him big brother at this time. The boy only felt that this magical illusion was extremely interesting to challenge, and the difficulty of each level was constantly increasing, and at the end of each level he could get a soldier reward, which made his spirit extremely excited.
I don't know how many levels you have in this magical illusion, see that I have passed you! Last time, he relied on Minerma to get out of the dark passage of Senior Bob, and this time he has to deal with this illusion on his own!
Let the "pockmarked-faced" blonde girl push him in! He couldn't help but think with a little malice, he had never seen anyone so jealous, let alone anyone greet guests in this way!
A low roar sounded all around, and countless roars gathered together like rolling thunder, and Merlin emptied his mind and began to fight.
……
Nineteenth Order, Pass!
Twenty steps, pass!
According to the previous experience, the difficulty increases suddenly after the tenth floor, and maybe the difficulty of the twentyth floor will also rise by a big step, and I don't know how many troops can be replenished.
The white light flashed, and a large group of soldiers swept out around Merin, the total number was close to a thousand, the number of a standard garrison regiment. A moment later, the soldiers all shone brightly, and Merlin was stunned for a moment, and then received a message in the spiritual connection.
Do you want to make adjustments to the number of troops?
Could it be ...... As soon as Morin's mind moved, a bunch of spearmen were replaced by him with short archers, and with another move, a team of first-order spearmen was replaced by several second-order long-axemen.
Understood! Next, just like a simulated command, you can freely mix and match the units according to a certain combat capability value, so that the overall combat capability of the troops will be greatly increased, but it is conceivable that the next attack will be more rapid and intense.
The boy boured himself and began to carefully adjust the composition of the soldiers under his command.
Morin is used to fighting against enemy commanders in simulated war chess, and this time the opponents are all such unorganized blue wolves, and the accustomed combination of troops must be adjusted, and he needs to think about it carefully.
Seeing the young man on the trial ladder survive the twenty steps, the people watching the battle were shocked, and Talisa's face was full of surprise, and she didn't even notice that the magic hair ornament slipped off, revealing a small freckle on her cheek.
Renamed? non-existent. She thought comfortingly, even if she didn't want to be called Talisha, his father wouldn't allow her to change her name!
But this hateful guy actually survived the twentieth order, and it seems that he still has the strength to continue the challenge?! Obviously, battle damage has begun to appear since the tenth order, and he lost almost one-tenth of his manpower in the thirteenth wave, but somehow, this guy actually survived and became more and more proficient?
This doesn't fit their perception......
When they usually challenge this trial, once there is more than five percent of the battle damage, the next thing will definitely be an avalanche-like rout, and they will be kicked out if they can't hold a few steps, but this guy is actually performing better and better?
Talisa retied the slippery headdress to her hair, frowned and looked at it carefully, and suddenly asked suspiciously, "Grandpa Bolburn, why do I feel that this guy's current strength is not right?"
With a slight smile on his face, Bolburn said appreciatively, "Oh?
"I remember very well that if the trial ladder ends at the twentieth level, the rewards for each level should accumulate to 10,000 standard combat ability values, which is equivalent to 1,000 standard first-order spearmen. There was confusion in Talisha's eyes: "And just now this guy, I looked through the records, and lost a total of one hundred spearmen, but looking at his troop adjustment at this time, how do I feel that he has more than nine thousand soldiers?"
Because the trial was activated by her authority, she got more information, and looked at it carefully and said, "I feel that his current soldiers have a combined combat power of nine thousand one hundred and nearly nine thousand two, why is this? Is it that I feel wrong?"
Bolben replied with a meaningful smile: "Talisha is right, it is already commendable to be able to notice this, in fact, he did lose a tenth of his soldiers, but except for the soldiers who suddenly lost in the eleventh order, the soldiers he lost in the next few orders were the worst. ”
Talisa's face changed suddenly, and she exclaimed, "Subtle awareness?!"
Bolburn nodded in satisfaction.
