The evening insults are terminated with a stern warning from Robin. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Du Shen and others entered the town to settle for food and lodging. Noble apprentices set up tent camps outside the town. After all, Frostwolf Town is not large in size and not wealthy, so how can it comfortably accommodate dozens of nobles?

Of course, before summoning his subordinates, some nobles' children asked Robin about the "ban". Knowing that the temple was not forbidden, the noble apprentices hired the townspeople to summon a convoy hidden at the foot of the mountain, and arranged for attendants to serve them with great fanfare.

As night falls, a dull bell rings in the town. Du Shen and the others came out of the houses of the townspeople where they were staying and walked to the gate of the town together.

Soon, everyone, including the noble apprentices, gathered in the open space at the entrance of the town.

"Very well, it looks like no one is absent," Robin didn't call names, just a general sweep, "Now announce the second phase of the exam." Based on the townspeople's investigations, we learned that a pack of frostwolves had migrated from the mountains to the north. Obviously, if they are left alone, something will happen sooner or later. Your task is to hunt them down before the sun rises. ”

"Listen," Robin paused deliberately, his face serious, "we demand that everyone hunt at least one frost wolf, as evidenced by their ears." The morning after tomorrow, whoever is empty-handed will be kicked out of the temple. No mercy! The hunt starts now, and each one has the right time. With that, Robin turned around and gestured to leave.

"Robin-sensei," shouted from among the nobles, "you haven't announced the ban yet. Can I hire people? ”

Robin turned around and nodded with a smile: "I almost forgot." Our ban, there are only two. First, it is forbidden to employ the townspeople. Second, between apprentices, no malicious harm is allowed. If anyone dares to hurt their classmates, kick them out of the temple immediately! ”

"In other words, you can hire someone," a fat aristocratic boy asked aloud, "I'll send someone back to Green City to hire someone, is it okay?" ”

Robin turned and walked towards the town gate, saying as he walked, "There are only two bans. Violators will be removed immediately. For the rest, you can do it yourself. ”

Robin and the teachers hadn't gone far yet, and the apprentices were already in a hurry. Almost all the noble apprentices were satisfied. Someone triumphantly glanced at his fellow civilian-born classmates, shook his head and sighed: "It seems that many people will be removed this time!" ”

Similar words are not noticed. The faces of all the civilians are getting more and more ugly. Someone scolded angrily: "You still say it's not partiality? Is this really not deliberately bullying us? ”

This resonates too much. It is important to know that because of the carriage and horseback riding, each noble apprentice led one or two attendants. Although some of them don't seem to be good at fighting. But the rest, in total, are thirty or forty people. Not to mention the later hiring, it was only them who assisted the nobles. Apprentices from civilian backgrounds have a hard time competing.

"Phew," Watson yelled, "I've got money, too!" I'll come out. We'll send someone back to Green City to hire someone right away. ”

"Of course people have to be hired," Du Shen shook his head, "I'm afraid it's too late." The city will be locked down at night, plus the time to come. The hired people will not arrive until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. And they need to rest too, and the most time they can use is tomorrow night. ”

"That's fine," someone rejoiced, "at least the gap between us and the nobility won't be too wide." As they spoke, many people looked at the tent not far away, which was crowded with dozens of attendants.

Watson also reflected: "In other words, if we want to fight, we can only seize the time during the day tonight and tomorrow." It's very difficult. ”

Everyone nodded, and Du Shen took the lead: "Let's go to the town first to inquire about the situation of the wolves." The others followed.

It was easy for everyone to inquire about the wolves. But the crowd grew gloomy because of it. According to the townspeople, although the town is called Frostwolf Town, it has been a long time since the shadow of the frost wolf. Near the town, only the recently migrated wolves remained. Several old hunters speculated that the number of wolves outside the town would not exceed a hundred.

You must know that a total of 106 apprentices participated in the examination this time. In other words, no matter what, someone will inevitably be eliminated the day after tomorrow because they failed to hunt the frost wolf.

This adds to the sense of urgency. Immediately, someone prepared to go out of the town to search for the traces of the frostwolf. Fortunately, most of them were calm and persuaded their reckless companions.

After some inquiry, everyone also learned a hope: on a hill to the north of the town, there were several hunters. It is said that those hunters were very good at hunting fierce birds and beasts, including frost wolves.

When everyone heard this, they were afraid that the nobles would take the lead, so they immediately prepared to go to hire. The crowd split up: someone inquired about a detailed shortcut, someone collected clothes to keep out the cold, someone made torches, and most importantly, Watson was responsible for buying weapons.

It's also funny because it was thought that the temple would provide it temporarily. Therefore, neither the nobles nor the commoners had ever thought of bringing their own weapons beforehand. Of course, the nobility still had a certain advantage in this regard. At least some of their attendants carried swords with them. Albeit only a minority.

The moon in the world of Manlo is large and round, and it is never missing, but it rises early and late every day. When Du Shen and the others left the town, it was still pitch black in the wild. With the help of the light of the torch, everyone was able to find the hill where the hunters lived. After some negotiations, stimulated by high commissions, several hunters agreed to go into battle with the whole family to help everyone hunt the frost wolf.

The urgency in the heart makes everyone subconsciously ignore the risk. The crowd planned to divide into 5 teams and search separately. A few Orions were originally apprehensive, but seeing that everyone was full of confidence, coupled with the name of the temple. They gritted their teeth and agreed.

Of course, safety has not been completely neglected. The people first distributed the personnel evenly according to their combat effectiveness. The search areas demarcated thereafter are not too far apart from each other. At least two by two.

When the moon rose, Du Shen extinguished the few remaining torches and led eight classmates to search the mountains and forests. Along the way, he failed to find the Frostwolf. The three hunters stopped, all on alert.

The apprentices were either nervous or excited. Du Shen saw more than a dozen figures coming out of the gloomy woods. The crowd came straight. As the distance approached, Du Shen saw clearly that the people who came were several aristocratic classmates and their attendants.

The nobleman stopped, but a few of his attendants kept approaching. When it was still far away, an attendant shouted, "A few hunters over there are listening, come and serve quickly." Several young masters in my family are all nobles. If you don't want to die, come over obediently. ”

The squire threatened as he reported the surnames, titles, and powers of several nobles.

The three hunters were at a loss. Sometimes they turned to look at Du Shen and the others behind them, and sometimes looked at the noble boy in brocade clothes in the distance.

"We hired them first, and they've already taken the commission." An apprentice shouted from behind Du Shen.

"So what," accosted a noble apprentice in the distance, "have we broken the ban?" I'm willing to pay more commissions. They want to repent, can you manage it? ”

Hearing this conversation, the three hunters followed the shouts of their attendants and obediently walked to the opposite side.

"It's too much!" Some civilians wanted to step forward to stop the hunters, but they were stopped by Du Shen.

"Hahaha......" Several loud laughs rang out from the other side, "as long as we don't violate the ban, the temple won't care what we do." It's fair play, who makes the bloodline from which we come from more noble! ”

The apprentice who was held back by Du Shen struggled even harder: "It's too bullying!" Fight with them! ”

"Haha......" was another burst of ridicule, and some nobles joked, "Fight? What do you fight? Just rely on the dung fork in your hand? Perhaps it was the real joke that was so funny that several aristocratic teenagers couldn't stop laughing.

"Let's go. It's important to find the frostwolf. Du Shen let go of his hand and turned around to leave.

"How can I find it if there is no hunter?" The young man who was loosened by Du Shen slammed the dung fork in his hand, but he didn't have the impulse.

"On your own. What else can I do? Du Shen looked calm.

Several apprentices pondered and were discouraged. They want to fight hard. But not to mention whether you fight or not, even if you win, you will only be expelled from the temple.

The 8 apprentices followed Du Shen back dejectedly. Behind him came the laughter and ridicule of the nobles.

It was a big blow, but it didn't make everyone give up completely. Everyone continued to cross the river through the forest, but they never found any trace of the frost wolf. Everyone inevitably slackened.

In the blink of an eye, it was early in the morning, and the bright silver moon was gradually turning west. Everyone was discussing whether to go back to the town to rest, and a figure appeared in a panic.

The direction in which the man was running was not originally towards Du Shen and the others. When he found Du Shen and the others, he immediately turned around and ran over, shouting as he ran.

It turned out that the team to which the man belonged had spotted several frost wolves. They tried to hunt, but were escaped by the frostwolves, and they were wounded in various ways. He had come to ask for help and transport the wounded.

Because of the loss of the hunter as a guide, the search area of Du Shen and the others had long been much beyond the established range, so they could not hear the distress signal of the friendly team.

Du Shen and the others did not dare to slack off, and immediately rushed to the battle area. After a while, Du Shen relieved himself. Injured companions, none of them are serious. The most serious one was actually the one who broke his leg while chasing the frost wolf.

Seeing the members of his own team, it was obvious that it was more than needed to transport the wounded. Du Shen's mind moved, and he immediately made an excuse to go alone: "Since I have found the traces of the frost wolf, it is better for me to continue to track it." You might even be able to find their lair. ”

The others nodded one after another, but also proposed to send one or two people to accompany them, so as not to be lonely. Du Shen naturally found an excuse to persuade and finally went alone.

Away from everyone, Du Shen did not immediately use the power of Nai He Zhu. For he suspected that there was an elemental overseer sent by the temple in the shadows. He pretended to search for the frostwolf, and at the same time thought about the way to probe.

Without waiting for him to refine his plan. Du Shen found a large number of figures emerging from the woods beside him. These people found that Du Shen had a short period of stagnation. After that, they quickly dispersed and surrounded Du Shen. The dozen or so guards in charge of the head ran faster and faster, as if they were afraid that Du Shen would get away.
