Chapter 217: The Trials Begin
"Stomp Pedal Pedal
There was a sound of footsteps, and a group of knights in golden armor appeared in neat steps, guarding the road, the golden halberd in their hands standing aside, and the cold light flickering on the blade of their halberd shocked Xiaoxiao.
This is Isrod's personal guard, the Knights Templar, all of them are knight cultivators, with far more strength than ordinary people, the main task is to protect Isrod, generally follow Isrod out of the palace, as a guard of honor, as Isrod's personal guard, but also Isrod's face, its standard armor is special, with a special full-body armor with a mask, weighing eighty catties, plus a halberd weighing twenty catties, a piece of equipment weighing 100 catties, but in their hands, light as nothing.
As the Knights Templar cleared the way, cleared the idle people, etc., and controlled the various intersections, a luxurious carriage slowly approached, and the tall beast with eight skins like unicorns pulled the carriage full of royal luxury and connotation.
The carriage stopped in front of the Wuling Embassy, and the people in the Wuling Embassy had already arrived at the door, waiting for Isrod.
Ithrod got out of the carriage, received the salute from the crowd, and then walked into the Five Spirits Embassy.
On a two-story attic a hundred meters away, a scrawny man saw Ithrod's cautious scene, spat fiercely, and muttered to himself:
"What an old fox. β
And there were several people in the crowd who wanted to assassinate Isrod, but the moment they shot, there was a black shadow behind him, as if it appeared out of thin air, and the ghostly dagger in his hand was lightly swiped, and the assassin died instantly, and there was no power to fight back.
However, a trip, more than two months of preparation, how could people succeed in assassinating Isrod in the capital of this elemental empire, even those noble lords who opposed Isrode, the Magic Guild would not allow this kind of thing to happen.
Looking at this scene, several magicians with staff in their hands in the shadows glanced at each other, nodded, and disappeared.
In the surrounding high-rise buildings, the soldiers with military bows and crossbows aimed at the surroundings are still meticulously patrolling all possible dangers.
On the outskirts of the Knights Templar, Karui commanded a team of 1,000 Praetorian Guards to once again thoroughly investigate all possible dangerous places centered on the Five Spirit Embassy, and conduct a second review of small traders and vendors, as well as major shops.
The specific selection of the selection competition has not yet been determined, so the sooner these sources of danger are checked, the better, otherwise a month passes, even if it is strict, there will be some relaxation, or take advantage of the present, in the best state, to eliminate all the dangers that can threaten the life safety of Ithrod, elites from all walks of life, and Tianjiao.
Accompanied by a crowd of people, Ithrod went to the VIP room and gave a motivational speech in the VIP room.
"Everyone, I'm Ithrod, you are all the pride of my Elemental Empire, and the pillars of the new generation, the purpose of this selection competition is to prevent the top talents of my Elemental Empire from being buried, and to tap the top talents who can make great contributions to the Empire and society, it has always been the national policy of the Elemental Empire, the aura has been revived, and the new era has already arrived, I hope you can shine your own brilliance in this great era. β
There was nothing exciting, and Ithrod's faint voice came out, although it did not make people's blood boil, but it made people feel an inexplicable peace of mind.
The audience below, cheering as Isrod spoke, shouted to their heart's content, expressing their excitement.
Putting down the microphone that had applied the amplification spell, Ithrod looked at Defina on the side, smiled a little, and said:
"Dean Dephna, would you like to say a few words?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, you don't have to. β
With a beautiful smile on her face, Defina softly declined.
Ithrod didn't persuade much, and handed the megaphone to the president of the Magic Guild on the side.
"I'm Manuel Iori, the current president of the Magic Guild, and I hope you can do well. β
Manuel's words were extremely brief, two introductions, one blessing, and it was over.
"I'm Vittorio CuarΓ³n, the Elemental Empire has a friendly attitude towards the elites of all walks of life, and hereby promises to greatly improve the welfare of elites from all walks of life, I hope you can contribute to the Empire, and I wish the Empire better and better, and you all achieve good results. β
Vittorio is the younger brother of Ithrod, and he is also the only prince of the Elemental Empire of Nuoda, and his strength is still extremely impressive, and most importantly, Vittorio has a certain influence among the nobility and cannot be underestimated.
After the three important figures finished speaking, this selection competition, which contained too many calculations and plans, finally officially began.
After a brief explanation of the competition system, the competition officially began.
The first match was an exhibition match between the Royal Academy and a civilian academy.
The students of the Royal Academy took the stage to defeat the students of the Civilian Academy, only with the demeanor of a master, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is the legendary invitation to the actors, for the sake of the dignity of the royal family.
It's not that the Royal Academy doesn't have capable people, it's just that it's more secure.
Except for the exhibition match, there was really nothing exciting about the previous knockout match, and the three of Isrode, except for the first exhibition match, directly found a special quiet room, as usual, to correct the performance and deal with affairs.
Defina looked at it with relish, she had lived for more than 8,000 years, what kind of battles had she not seen or experienced, of course these small fights could not attract her, what attracted her was these students who were just the right youth, the breath of youth and sunshine was the only one that could expel the rotten breath that had been buried in the ground for many years in her body except for the breath of the elf ancestor, not the kind that she asked and felt with her mouth and nose, but a kind of decay revealed from the inside of her bones.
"Huh~"
I saw that Defina, who had been calm and had a light smile on the corner of her mouth, suddenly let out a voice in surprise.
I saw that it was Irina on the field at this time against an old man with gray hair.
In fact, according to the participation mechanism of the selection competition, as long as you are not over 50 years old, you can sign up.
Although this is unfair to some people, but this is also necessary for the Elemental Empire to recruit talents, after all, the previous generation of Tianjiao of some forces has not missed this golden world, although the age is already very large, but the accumulation of its years of accumulation, the accumulation of the path of cultivation orthodoxy, after the revival of the aura, once outbreaked, crazy breakthrough, this part of the talent, although they are older, but if it is more serious, according to the specific cultivation time, they do not meet the requirements.
But this old man, who has obviously been accumulating for decades, was pressed and beaten by Irina.
I saw Irina standing in the middle of the stage, although the person was motionless, but the invisible spiritual fluctuations were exuding all the time, and wave after wave of spiritual attacks made the old man unable to guard against it, so he could only resist passively, relying on years of cultivation and the accumulated foundation, barely resisting Irina's spiritual attacks.
I saw that the old man's face was hideous, the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and his ears were constantly oozing blood, which showed the pressure brought to him by Irina's mental attack.
