Chapter Fifty-Four: Once Notoriety Rises to the World

The sky has not yet turned white, the huge bright moon has not yet set, and the north gate of Green City has been opened early. A large number of carriages www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion drove towards the Flame Mountain under the escort of the cavalry. In the car were Du Shen and other surviving apprentices. They were taken to the temple and scattered.

The leaders of the procession came together to a temple to be questioned by the principal.

In the empty hall, several old men sat side by side. On the desktop in front of them, a few files are placed. It was a first-class debriefing of the incident.

When several old men saw Robin enter the door, although they frowned, they did not get angry. Anger poured out from the first reports and the long wait. Or repeatedly broke the teacup, or once broke the corner of the table, or kept scolding. For now, at least, the leaders of several temples have been able to remain calm.

Experience a short greeting. Led by Imam Yevgeny, Robin and several other leaders successively stated their experiences.

After some questions and answers, the rich Senator Konstantin kept banging on the table: "That is. From beginning to end, the number of skeletons that appeared did not exceed a hundred. Even if they are more powerful than common sense, even if the elements of the proctoring are not numerous. However, with the help of the little ones' attendants. You shouldn't have lost so badly. At least, there should never be so many deaths! ”

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" Konstantin slammed the table one after another, and his voice was fierce: "The most ridiculous thing is. From the beginning to the end, you failed to find the shadow of the enemy? You don't even know what the number of wizards is? ”

Robin's face was expressionless, and he lowered his head and said, "The student is incompetent, please punish the teacher." ”

"All right," said Imam Yevgeny, reassuringly, "introspection and punishment will be discussed later." We should first deal with the criticism from the outside world. As for the details of the matter, I think everyone has already understood it clearly. Anything else you'd like to ask? Yevgeny turned sideways and glanced at his colleagues on the left and right.

Several of the patriarchs either shook their heads or seemed to be distracted.

Yevgeny raised his hand and waved lightly to Robin and the others below: "You go down first, and each of you prepares a detailed written report." Reflect on your mistakes. Later, the temple will announce what it will do with you. ”

Robin and the others were ordered to take their leave.

When the door of the temple was closed, Yevgeny looked to the left and right: "Let's decide first, how to deal with the aftermath." ”

No one responded, and the atmosphere was dull. Sandra, who still has the charm, reached out and picked up the casualty report at hand: the townspeople of Frostwolf Town, hundreds of people were injured, but only one person died. On the apprentice side, 11 civilians died and 49 nobles died.

The trouble is the 49 people behind this. Sandra flipped to the next page, where the apprentice's first and last names were recorded, as well as a brief description of his family. The font is dense, and it makes Sandra's scalp tingle.

49 nobles, regardless of rank and power. Together, it's a headache.

Not to mention, there will certainly be other forces that will take advantage of the opportunity to erode the interests of the temple.

"If you want me to say," Konstantin grimaced, staring at the equally dark desktop, "quickly send someone to contact these families quietly." As long as they pay a sufficient price, they must be willing to settle the matter. The point is not to get them united. Time is of the essence! ”

Victor, the patriarch, calmly told the truth: "However, this year's fire has been arranged. If we make a temporary adjustment, we can only owe it to our own people. I'm afraid that those nobles are too ambitious. Even if we grit our teeth, we can't be satisfied. ”

"So what do you say?" Konstantin leaned back, indignant.

Victor was silent, and the other patriarchs did not answer.

"Well," Evgeny sighed, "let's ask for help from the other temples!" ”

These words were like thunder, and all the elders present were shocked. Several major temples have competed for hundreds of years, and no one has always been convinced. If the Flame Sanctuary asks for help, wouldn't it take the initiative to show weakness and be small from now on?

"I can't do it," one of the patriarchs said bluntly, "isn't it just the death of a few apprentices." Although we are disgraced, we don't need to ask for help, right? At most, we have been laughed at for a few years, but we have worked hard to mediate, and we can get through! ”

The others nodded. Although this incident will seriously damage the reputation of the temple, it will not necessarily hurt the bones and bones as long as it is properly handled. Everyone felt that the imam's speech was deaf.

"That's what I thought," Yevgeny explained slowly, very calmly, "if our reputation will be ruined, then why should we care about fame." Reach out to other temples to track down the perpetrators of this tragedy. First, destroy the enemy as soon as possible; Second, it is also a reminder for others. ”

As he spoke, Yevgeny sighed: "Over the years, wizards have been beaten by us to the point of disappearing. Some nobles got carried away and continued to eat away at the benefits of the temple. If they don't know about the existence and strength of the enemy, they will only think that we are just eating idle food. ”

Yevgeny's statement made everyone's eyes shine: "It turns out that the imam did not take the initiative to lose sincerity, but to retreat as advance." ”

Some people hesitated, but thinking of the ugly faces of some nobles in recent years, they made up their minds: "It's time to make the nobles feel threatened, and make them understand that they need to rely on the power of the Temple!" ”

After a specific discussion, everyone reached a consensus. Signed by Yevgeny, the Flame Sanctuary sent messengers to the other four Temples at the same time, as well as to the Holy Thunder Empire. The Courier will inform the parties of the details of the Frostwolf Town massacre and ask for their help in apprehending the killer.

The official document emphatically mentions that the enemy this time is cunning and has strange abilities. The skeleton servants of its envoys obviously exceed the historical records, and definitely reach the strength of official knights. The Flame Sanctuary suspects that a group of wizards has developed a new powerful spell and is full of power, so it is ready to move. A new wizarding war is likely to break out. The Temple of Flames strongly urges all parties to work together to identify and eradicate the scourge as soon as possible to minimize future damage.

As soon as the messenger left, and as soon as it was dark, the Flame Sanctuary immediately disseminated the message of the message for help through semi-public channels.

Although in the next few days, Greentown is located in the Azuaya area, so there is a certain amount of turmoil. However, the temple has accumulated prestige over the years, and its strength has not been damaged, and it is easy to eliminate hidden dangers everywhere.

In the blink of an eye, it had been three days since the fall of Frostwolf Town. In the past two days, Du Shen can be described as happy and distressed. Thanks to the rendering of the temple, more and more people knew about Du Shen's actions and became afraid.

In less than two days, relying on the people moving in the temple alone, Du Shen had already collected two thousand points of fear force. Now, because it exceeded the upper limit, Nahe Zhu could sense an abundant fear force, but he couldn't store it. Du Shen sat back and watched a large amount of the Force drain in vain and eventually dissipate. He was tormented.

Without a storage artifact by his side, Du Shen could only go to the wild to create skeletons and consume the Force. However, he twice found an excuse to take leave to go out, but the teacher refused. Seeing the rumor of the temple's investigation, the real culprit of the Frostwolf Town incident. Du Shen was so as not to be exposed, and finally gave up.

Because of the Frostwolf Town incident, the skeletons made by Du Shen before were all wiped out.

There was no way, after testing the apprentices, Du Shen originally removed 31 skeletons that were basically intact. However, because of the distance, Du Shen could not achieve fine operation. Eventually, his subordinates were unable to evade the Templars' aftermath and were all wiped out.

There is no one under him, but he can only sit back and watch the waste. Du Shen became more and more eager to get a storage item. For two days, he often recalled carefully, trying to think of ways to get space items as soon as possible. Eventually, he endured himself. After all, not to mention the lack of strength, in comparison, it was the Flame Core that was more important to Du Shen.

After two days of waiting, the Temple announced that it would abolish the assessment and that it would fuse the Elemental Flame for all the surviving apprentices after three days.

For the next three days, the temple began to strictly regulate the food and drink of the apprentices. Eat on time every day, and stealing food is strictly prohibited. Why is it strictly forbidden to steal food? Because of the precise limits on the food available in the temple, almost everyone was only half-full at every meal.

After three days, the temple took turns fusing the apprentices with the fire. The ritual is simple, it is to eat directly.

First give you a large glass of milky decoction and let you pour it without a drop. Then give you a cloudy crystal the size of a broad bean to swallow.

The size of a crystal broad bean, and not smooth, it is of course uncomfortable and difficult to swallow directly. But it is the seed of supernatural ability, and no matter how hard it is, you have to endure it.

With the help of half a cup of milky white decoction, Du Shen finally swallowed the tinder. He soon felt a heat in his stomach, and then his whole body warmed. Later, Du Shen seemed to forget about hunger. It was only after the teacher's reminder that he and other classmates came to the restaurant to eat.

The stomach was full of heat, and most of the apprentices, who were supposed to gobble it up, did not want to eat. The overseer's teacher forced everyone to eat their usual amounts. He also warned: not hungry, just the illusion created by fusing the fire. In ancient times, before the temple was built, there were ancestors who did not eat after fusing the fire and were starved to death.

The crowd was terrified and ate according to the amount they had eaten for the past three days. Strange to say, after everyone eats, they still only feel that their stomachs are full, and they don't feel bloated at all.

For the next three days, each apprentice felt hot and lazy. The temple was also empathetic, and did not arrange any other study except for cultural classes in the evenings. Let everyone wander around during the day, and even sleep a lot.

For three days, everyone said there was a stream of hot air to the chest. Du Shen also felt the heat in his stomach circling around his body, and finally gathered in his chest. It's probably at the location of the Tanzhong acupoint. The heat is in a clump, and it feels like substance. Du Shen pressed his hand on the skin, but he couldn't detect any foreign body.

On the fourth day, as they had done in previous days, they drank half a cup of milky decoction regularly. Later, everyone shouted hunger one after another, and the heat in Zhidao's stomach disappeared.

The supervising teacher happily asked the hungry apprentice to eat in the cafeteria, and there was no longer a limit on the portion. He explained: "If you know that you are hungry, it means that the fusion is complete. ”

In the cafeteria, many apprentices whispered. Everyone is very curious, what level does the fire they fuse belong to? Someone asked the teacher who had been with him for a few days. The other party said "I don't know".

Later, the temple arranged for the people to continue their previous lessons, making it clear that it would take a few days for them to acclimatize before they could learn how to cultivate fire.

The days seem to have returned to their original lull. In the evening of this day, Du Shen was walking with everyone to the cultural class. Watson hung his head and joined the crowd. He whispered, "I've inquired about it. This fusion, only Ryan? Ross fused with a high-level fire. Others, including me, are only mid-level. ”

Many people stopped, unable to hide their loss and frustration. Not only because the higher the level of the tinder, the faster the strength can be improved. And if you want to be among the masters, you must fuse high-level fire. Everyone was frustrated, but also because of Ryan's background.

When they were chased and killed by skeletons in Frostwolf Town, everyone's performance was watched by each other. Ryan is certainly excellent, brave and resourceful. But the others are not bad! For example, Martina and Du Shen......

Especially Du Shen. He saved several classmates from the sword of the skeleton monster one after another. Why can't he, Martina and the others share the high-level fire?

All the civilian apprentices couldn't help but say something similar: "Could it be that Ryan's qualifications are really too much higher than everyone else?" Or, as has been rumored lately, the Templars are really just a club for the nobility? ”
