Chapter 48: A Web in the Shadows
In a blink of an eye, Du Shen was already about to join the temple. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info tomorrow will be the day of the battle test.
This month, Du Shen did not waste time in vain. All of his physical attributes, there was a slight increase.
There is a word in China called "water and soil adaptation". In ancient times, I don't know how many people died because of this. It can be seen that changes in the external environment may have a greater impact on people's bodies. There are bad influences, and naturally there are good ones.
Perhaps the natural environment of the Manluo world is too superior to the dark blue star. Since the crossing, Du Shen's various attributes that were originally stuck in the bottleneck have grown slowly.
In the past few months, perhaps because Du Shen was running around all day long, he slept in the open almost every day. The growth of physical attributes is slow and subtle.
In the past month, because of his meditation and exercise, Du Shen's attributes have increased relatively significantly. At present, Du Shen's attributes are: strength 8; Constitution 9; Agility 7; Intelligence 8; Spirit 9.
Such an attribute, although not as good as a formal knight, is enough to crush most ordinary people in the Manluo world. At least, Du Shen believes that compared to other aristocratic classmates, his attributes are absolutely outstanding.
Not to mention that Du Shen has a bead to rely on, even if he only relies on his own physical fitness, Du Shen is confident that he will be among the best in tomorrow's test.
Of course, compared with individual aristocratic elites, Du Shen's combat skills are much inferior. But he doesn't have to fight for the first place. After all, there are not just one or two nuclei of perfection that the temple gives each year.
Combined with his excellent qualifications, Du Shen believes that as long as he ranks among the top five tomorrow, he has a high chance of obtaining the perfect elemental core. In order to avoid exposure, Nai Hezhu should still try to avoid using it
Therefore, when most people are more or less nervous, Du Shen looks particularly relaxed. Everyone is free and easy about Du Shen, but there are no negative emotions such as jealousy. Because everyone is convinced. On the one hand, Du Shen's strength has grown rapidly, and few people can match it. On the other hand, almost every civilian apprentice has received Du Shen's help in cultural learning.
In the hearts of many people, they have recognized Du Shen's qualification to obtain the core of perfection. There were even individual apprentices, when joking, congratulating Du Shen in advance on obtaining the Perfection Core.
Of course, the "crowd" mentioned above does not include apprentices of aristocratic origin.
Because of tomorrow's exams, after dinner, the temple did not teach cultural classes as usual, but gave everyone a holiday. The apprentices of the two origins naturally separated as usual. The children of the nobles hurriedly left the hall and disappeared. Civilian apprentices gather in the corners of the nearby square, in groups of three or five, chatting or frolicking with each other.
Just near Du Shen, several girls chatted about gossip: "Hey, did you find it?" There seems to be an extra person in the west just now. There was a nobleman with blond red hair, as if he had never seen it before. ”
"Yes," said one of the girls, yearning, "I guess it's new?" He's so pretty. I just don't know what my personality is? ”
Several girls joke with each other. Du Shen's mind moved, and he deliberately shouted loudly: "Watson, did you hear it?" A few sisters are curious about the new aristocratic handsome guy. You go and inquire about his origins. ”
Heard Du Shen's shout. A few joking girls' eyes lit up. They were either shy, or laughed and pleaded to Watson, "Yes." Watson, go and inquire. "Yes, to find out where he came from."
Watson is a good thing. He got up happily and saluted Du Shen and a few girls in a slightly funny way: "The villain has to be ordered." This is to spy on the enemy. ”
Because Watson's family is wealthy, he treats nobles with a very thick skin and is willing to spend money. Therefore, he was one of the few commoners who could be accepted by the noble apprentices. Despite the frequent bullying, Watson was happy to hear from the aristocracy.
At the corner of the square, not far from Du Shen, Harry and the three of them hid behind the bushes, witnessing Watson's salutation and departure.
Harry couldn't help but snort coldly, and smiled happily: "Du Shen is dead now!" ”
The usually cautious Abs shook his head: "Not necessarily. After all, Du Shen was an apprentice recognized by the Temple. Do they really dare to do a dead hand? ”
The dismantling of his companions annoyed Harry. He vigorously pulled off the leaves in his hand and continued to curse: "Even if you don't die, it's about the same. Anyway, he didn't want to get good grades. Now he is a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of all nobles! I'll see how long he can be proud! ”
"Not all nobles ......," Abs wanted to correct Harry's "generalizations". But when he looked at Harry's expression and thought about Du Shen's situation, Arbus felt that Harry's statement was not wrong, so he stopped talking.
"Don't say it, this Du Shen is really powerful." Tom remembered the blackmail he had suffered a month earlier, and couldn't help but say a word of justice.
"Humph!" Harry's anger grew louder and brighter. He looked at Martina at Du Shen's side, and couldn't help but think of the delicate body that was once at his fingertips. The more he thought about it, the more he hated, and kept pulling at the green bushes in front of him: "The more powerful he is, the faster he will die." ”
Harry hated Du Shen's original sin: "His qualifications are good. Now with our propaganda, all the nobles regard him as their greatest rival. He will surely die! ”
Harry's face was gloomy and he shook his head: "His strength has grown too much, it is said that he is comparable to a knight's servant." Before he fused the fire, he was about to break through to become a knight. Wait for him to fuse the fire, then what else will he get? Who do you say if you don't kill him? ”
Harry had a sinister smile on his face, "Moreover, he actually subdued that group of untouchables so quickly and became a leader." If you don't eradicate him, how can you subdue those untouchables and make them slaves? He tried in vain to integrate the untouchables. But I don't know, if he does this, who can tolerate him? ”
Harry hated but happily spit out the fate that Du Shen was about to face: "With these three original sins, he will definitely die in tomorrow's test!" ”
Maybe Harry's malice was too strong, maybe Harry was grabbing the leaves too much. Harry suddenly found that Du Shen in the distance seemed to find that the other party actually turned his head and looked straight over. Harry hurriedly ducked his head and hid. Arbus and Tom were at his side.
Du Shen was unaware of the existence of Harry and the others. Inside the temple, there are elements coming and going, and in order to avoid exposure, Du Shen rarely uses ghosts. Therefore, at this time, there was no ghost monitoring on Harry's side.
Du Shen suddenly turned his head to look, which was completely a natural reaction brought about by Gao Qiang's spiritual attributes. It's like an elite knight can detect the peep of a ghost. But it's like the knight trusts his vision too much to discover the real existence of the ghost. Due to the obscuration of the trees and the dimness of the light, Du Shen also failed to spot the three of Harry.
The three of them hid for a moment, craned their necks to peep. Convinced that Du Shen didn't find himself, the three began to retreat quietly. Absi nodded and comforted the two behind him in a low voice: "Our big net has been weaved, and Du Shen will definitely suffer tomorrow." We can't be exposed. ”
Harry didn't say anything in response, but nodded his head secretly.
Not long after Harry and the three left, Watson rushed to Du Shen in a hurry. He faced a few girls who were looking forward to it, and gasped, "Inquire clearly." That handsome guy is called Ryan? Rose, the only son of a viscount. He just came here today and will be with us tomorrow for the test......"
Ryan? Rose, is the future Howard? Lane, also known as King Lane.
Du Shen listened to Watson's brief introduction while turning his gaze to Martina. Du Shen believes that Ryan will definitely fall in love with Martina like he did in his previous life. Just stay by Martina's side, and Ryan will definitely come to the door automatically. In this way, it can also avoid conflicts when Du Shen comes into contact with other nobles.
As the night deepened, everyone dispersed to rest. Early the next morning, after breakfast, the crowd gathered in another square.
Not long after the crowd gathered, several elemental envoys came in pairs, men and women, of different ages. Among them, the most eye-catching bald man jumped on the high platform and faced everyone: "Listen! My name is Robin and I am the leader of this test and one of the proctors. This test is divided into two parts. I'll start with the first part. ”
It seemed that because the apprentice's discussion was too loud, Robin suddenly paused for a moment: "Listen." The first test requires everyone to arrive at Frostwolf Town, north of Greentown, before dark. I'll be waiting for you at the entrance to town. Frostwolf Town is less than forty miles from Green City, and with your physique, you will definitely be able to reach it in time......"
In the crowd under the stage, someone asked loudly: "Teacher, how do you count it before dark?" Is the sun setting, or can't see the fingers......"
"Shut up," Robin scolded fiercely, "when it's dark, it's up to me to decide!" You just need to be in front of me in time. Listen up. If you can't meet even the most basic travel standards, you can only be removed. Hopefully not too many people will roll up and roll home this year! ”
The "buzzing" sound under the stage became louder again, and many people opened their mouths to ask various questions. Robin ignored it and just shouted, "Okay." Now that the test begins, I hope you will hurry up. With that, Robin jumped off the platform and walked straight away from the crowd.
Of course, the apprentices did not dare to pull and block. A few people followed from a distance and asked loudly. Robin still ignored it, just walked quickly. Many people followed for a while and stopped one after another. Someone wanted to ask the other invigilators, but after turning their heads and looking around, they realized that all the teachers had run away.
"Is this the beginning of the test?" A teenager looked around in confusion, feeling very unreal.
"yes, that's too rash," Watson exclaimed with the same displeasure, "and we haven't been told where this Frostwolf Town is. Shall we go northeast or northwest? ”
"Okay, don't talk nonsense," Du Shen gently tugged Martina, motioning for the other party to follow. Du Shen turned his head and glanced at his companions around him, "The test has begun. Time is precious, so let's go down the mountain first and ask the residents of the city about the location of the town. ”
