After resting in the room for a few hours, when there was a knock at the door, Zhao Yu knew that it was Shen Mengting who came to urge. Sure enough, after answering, Shen Mengting's voice came over immediately.

"We're ready to go!"

"Oh! it's coming!" Zhao Yu got up from the bed. Of course, he didn't forget to take down the staff that was resting beside the bed.

What time is it?" Zhao Yu looked at the clock hanging on the wall.

This time is clearly indicated on the clock.

It turns out that so much time has passed! Zhao Yu couldn't help but be in a reverie. He only felt that time was just a blink of an eye.

When he reached the gate, he remembered that he might have fallen asleep just now. He was so tired in the past few days, not only experienced the test of life and death, but also reorganized his beliefs.

'Knock knock!'

The knock on the door sounded again, and Zhao Yu hurried to open the door.

The moment he opened the door, Zhao Yu saw Shen Mengting, who had been well prepared. The woman carried a greatsword on her back, and her clothes had been changed into a tawny cloak.

"Were you sleeping before?" Shen Mengting deliberately looked at the clock in the door.

"Yes, almost!"

"Then you should have rested enough!"

"Yes, you can go!" Zhao Yu nodded.

"That's good!" Shen Mengting immediately left the door of Room 1, and she walked towards the edge of the corridor.

Following the direction she was taking, Zhao Yu saw that Qian Hao and Jiang Jingwen seemed to be waiting here for a long time.

"You can go!" Qian Hao straightened the longbow he was carrying, and he always had a smile on his face.

"It's okay!" Shen Mengting replied a little impatiently.

When she walked to the staircase, Shen Mengting didn't forget to beckon her companions.

"Let's go!"

The group of four began to walk downstairs. Occasionally, I will meet customers who have just checked in, and they are all led by Shi Yi, the counter guy.

Shi Yi probably saw that the four of them were going out, and they all showed puzzled expressions, "Ah, what's wrong, are you going out, at this time!"

Shi Yi's question was answered by Shen Mengting, who was at the forefront, "Yes, let's go out and do something!"

"Oh, go out now, didn't you just book a table and a banquet? and a specially selected private room?" Shi Yi stopped and stopped paying attention to the passengers who had just checked in.

From this guy's words, Zhao Yu came up with Shen Mengting's action just now. It turned out that she went to the hotel to book a table for a banquet, but it was still set up in a private room at a high cost. It seems that Shen Mengting has done quite a grand job this time.

"Yes, we'll be back soon!" Shen Mengting replied directly.

"Oh, okay then!" Shi Yi's face was full of worry, he was probably afraid that Shen Mengting would ruin the set banquet if he didn't choose to come back.

Qian Hao saw this guy's worry, and immediately reminded, "Don't worry! We will definitely come back!"

Shi Yi was relieved when she heard the words of reassurance. Then, he led the new guests back to their reserved rooms.

"This guy is really alert! He is afraid that we will not come back!" Qian Hao did not forget to laugh and joke after seeing the guy go away.

"Where else can we go if we don't come back?Aren't our luggage and packages all in the room?" Shen Mengting replied angrily.

"Sister Mengting, don't blame others! People are worried that the banquet will be wasted! In that case, he will be responsible!"

"I know this, but I don't have to doubt it like this! I, Shen Mengting, have never been the kind of person who doesn't believe in my words!" Shen Mengting's current mood was a little angry. It's no wonder that she has never been so distrusted before.

"Of course people are suspicious of you! People are not familiar with you, how do they know what kind of person you Shen Mengting is!" Qian Hao quickly followed Shen Mengting's side.

At this time, the group also walked to the first floor of the hotel. The atmosphere in the lobby is a little cold, which is actually normal, because the hotel is not here.

Zhao Yu looked at the clock hanging in the hall and found that it was almost 3:40.

"Okay, don't talk any more, it's important for us to get down to business!" With Shen Mengting's words, everyone continued to walk outside the hotel.

Because of the greeting in advance, the staff of the inn had already left the horses at the door. Shen Mengting: They just need to go and ride it.

"Nasa!" As soon as Shen Mengting stepped out of the gate, she walked straight to the horse that had followed her for many years.

"All right, let's take their places!" Qian Hao also walked on his horse.

After the four of them got on the horse, Shen Mengting was ready to set off.

"We're leaving!" she looked down at the horizon in the distance, "The target is the Proving Ground to the west of town!"

Qian Hao and Jiang Jingwen immediately nodded. After that, there was a burst of the word 'driving'. The three horses then galloped off into the distance, and the direction they were running was to the west of the town.

After running on the road for a while, Shen Mengting always kept her speed at a moderate speed. Horses that are too fast may affect pedestrians on the side of the road, while too slow can delay time. Therefore, Shen Mengting held on to the reins of the horse and maintained the speed in a controllable position.

In fact, even if she doesn't do this, Nassa, who has followed her for many years, will obediently not make any trouble. Nassa is spiritual and very aware of the opposites of her master's current situation. However, because of Shen Mengting's hands-on spirit over the years, she ignored Nasa's feelings.

Pulling on the reins of her horse, Nasa ran steadily down the street. Listening to the regular sound of horses' hooves, Shen Mengting recalled the preparations she had made with Qian Hao before.

At that time, in the room 1, the two chatted for a long time, and the relevant content was about the person they were about to meet - that is, Shen Jun, the swordsman instructor of the trial ground.

According to Qian Hao, Shen Jun was his brother who walked together when he was a child. The two grew up and played together in a town. They also went to the proving ground at the same time. Of course, Shen Mengting listened to all these contents, and she was not too interested in the relationship between Shen Jun and Qian Hao.

"Qian Hao, don't talk about those unimportant things! I just want to understand Shen Jun's true strength!" Shen Mengting said at the time.

After coughing lightly in embarrassment, Qian Hao still got to the point.

Shen Jun's strength is high-level, yes, the level of the trial ground is based on ability, no one can question this. But even if it's advanced, there's a difference between good and bad. According to Qian Hao's account, Shen Jun was an extremely talented swordsman. His trial resources were not very good, but he still relied on his own efforts and passed the junior swordsman assessment at the age of nineteen. Then, he continued to work hard out of control.

Qian Hao's speech was not too clear, but Shen Mengting still learned about Shen Jun's strength assessment trajectory.

Shen Jun passed the swordsman beginner at the age of nineteen and the intermediate level at the age of twenty-three. As for the senior, Qian Hao said that he was not very clear. The reason is that Qian Hao had already left Gunma Town four years ago, and Shen Jun had just passed the intermediate trial at that time.

"Because he's been in a relationship for four years, I don't know exactly what kind of life he's living at the moment. Four years ago, he passed the intermediate trial. But it's high-level......" Qian Hao seemed to be thinking about something, and his eyes were raised, looking at the ceiling above his head.

Shen Mengting waited with her arms folded on the side, crooked her neck.

After about a minute or so, Qian Hao's answer was released, "About a year and a half ago, I lived in Hino Town in the south for some reason! Then, I thought about this friend in Gunma Town. I sent him a letter there and asked him about him!"

He replied to me in the letter, saying that he had passed the advanced swordsman level and had been selected to be the instructor of the proving ground. I was so happy for him at the time! So, he passed the advanced time, almost in the age group of twenty-five and twenty-six!"

Shen Mengting recalled that she was also advanced in this age group. Therefore, she couldn't help but admire that Shen Jun a little.

For the next year and a half, as I lived a life of uncertainty again, I was naturally unable to send him letters. But you can rest assured that this person is still quite greedy for stability, and he must be in the proving ground. Didn't that hotel guy just talk about it! Shen Jun is the coach of the proving ground!"

"And what is your relationship like?"

"Ahh

"Qian Hao, it's not that I don't believe you. Shen Mengting raised one shoulder, "But since you have such a close relationship with him, why did you have a very different situation after that? Why did you choose to leave, but he got mixed up with a half-official position?"

"Oh! Everyone has their own aspirations! Everyone has a different life. I, Qian Hao, yearn for a carefree and free life, and he hopes to be stable and can be mixed for life, so he stayed and became a swordsman instructor. At that time, he also persuaded me that I could live in Gunma Town for a long time. Actually...... If I had listened to his advice, I guess I'd be the archer instructor in that proving ground by now!"

Qian Hao has always been quite confident in his own strength. In his twenties, he was still able to get a high-level title despite such a lack of trial resources. Therefore, it is not difficult for him to become a Proving Ground Coach.

"Qian Hao, you are quite confident in yourself!"

Regarding Shen Mengting's cynicism, Qian Hao didn't care at all. He just shook his shoulders and replied: "Of course, in the Kingdom of Saran, there will be a few high-ranking civilians in their twenties!"

What Qian Hao said is also a portrayal of the current situation in the Kingdom of Saran, because the poor cannot afford the corresponding tuition fees, and it is difficult for the common people to reach the advanced level. And Qian Hao and his good friend Shen Jun did just that.

Shen Mengting still admired them a little for this. And since she confirmed that Shen Jun was the coach of the trial ground, she no longer questioned Shen Jun's professional level.

"There is basically a ninety percent chance that as Qian Hao said, Shen Jun is a high-level swordsman!" Shen Mengting said to herself.

Since he is advanced, and he is still so young, he must be useful! Thinking like this, Shen Mengting's heart could hardly hide her excitement.

Originally, she wanted to continue chatting with Qian Hao for a while, but time didn't allow it. Maybe it was just a blink of an eye, and Shen Mengting noticed that the time was almost three o'clock. So, she could only talk about some important things, and about Shen Jun's past, let it go back to see this person again, and then continue to dig deeper!

Shen Mengting and Qian Hao set out the next meeting time, and they decided to leave for the trial ground at half past three. Because it is also this time period, the students in the proving ground are about to leave school. If he goes too early, Shen Jun, as a coach, will not be able to get out, and if he goes too late, it is estimated that Shen Jun will have already answered.

He hadn't seen Shen Jun for many years, and Qian Hao couldn't figure out where he lived. If you can't meet it today, you'll have to delay it for another day. Shen Mengting didn't allow this to happen, so she prepared to leave at half past three.

That's the way it is.

Walking out of the recollection, the sound of horses' hooves echoed in Shen Mengting's ears more obviously. She looked down and realized that she was almost there.

Sure enough, after turning a corner, a familiar building came into view.

"The Proving Ground!" Shen Mengting's mouth moved.

Zhao Yu also muttered these three words. The proving ground has a special meaning for him. As soon as he saw these site buildings, Zhao Yu recalled his time in Vortex Town.

'Are you all right?' Zhao Yu thought of his partner who was studying with him in the Vortex Town Proving Ground.

"The destination has arrived!" After manipulating the horse and running a few times, Qian Hao quickly pulled up the reins of the horse. Then the horse he was riding came to a stop.

Shen Mengting and Jiang Jingwen did the same, and they stopped together at the door of the trial ground.

"Yes! It's here!" Shen Mengting looked at the gate, "Then next, let the so-called 'friends' lead the way!" Saying that, Shen Mengting also deliberately turned her head to look at Qian Hao.

Qian Hao shrugged his shoulders casually, and quickly dismounted, "Okay! I'll show you the way!"

After the four of them dismounted together, they also walked leisurely to the testing ground.

Just like the one in Vortex Town, the gate to the proving ground here is extremely empty, after all, it was invested and built by the government. Zhao Yu followed the team into the gate. After that, he saw several forks in the road.

"These forks in the road lead to different career areas!" Qian Hao seemed to explain.

What? There are so many forks in the road? Zhao Yu pondered along the forks in the road and looked at the end of the road. Those roads are connected to different large houses, presumably office buildings for various professions.

But there are too many of these roads! Zhao Yu compared these forks in the road to the whirlpool town where he was located. The number is really unequal, remember that they are in Vortex Town, it seems that there are only two roads.

Thinking of two ways, Zhao Yu patted his thigh. That's right, those two paths are the two classes that each refer to 'Swordsman' and 'Archer'.

Vortex is a very poor town, so there are only two classes to choose from. I remember that Shen Mengting and Qian Hao both said that with the size and prosperity of the town, the choice of professions is uneven - this is the unfairness of trial resources.

Larger towns naturally have more classes to choose from. For example, this Gunma town must have more career options than Uzumaki Town, which is why there are multiple forks in the road.

There must be many professions for the students here to choose from! Zhao Yu's expression was full of envy.

After that, he counted the specific number of forks in the road, 'one, two, three......

There are five in total.

When the specific number was obtained, Zhao Yu began to calculate in his heart what profession these six represented, 'swordsman, archer, magician, and doctor'.

Hmm? What kind of profession is there? Zhao Yu couldn't help but tilt his head and frown.

Fortunately, Shen Mengting, who was on the side, raised the question in his heart, "There are actually five forks in the road here, which means that there are five professions to choose from!"

"Of course!" Qian Hao replied casually, he had already reached a certain intersection. On the edge of the road, there is a sign with the word 'Swordsman'.

When Zhao Yu saw those road signs, he exhaled a long breath. It turned out to be a sign that it said! He began to walk towards it

Qian Hao seemed to be impatient to take this road, his eyes fixed on the end of the road.

"Unexpectedly! There are actually five professions to choose from in this Gunma Town!" Jiang Jingwen wandered around the meeting point of the fork in the road.

"What's wrong with this, Gunma Town is originally a medium-sized town!" Qian Hao quickly picked up, "Even if it's not as prosperous as Fukui Town, it's really not bad, at least in terms of self-testing resources, it's still a grade higher than Akita Town!"

"And that's true......! I didn't think it was as prosperous as Akita Town!" Shen Mengting's eyes looked ahead in vain, and she was recalling the time when she found this town on the map.

"In fact, if you really want to talk about the population, living area, or the degree of prosperity, Gunma Town is indeed inferior to Akita Town. Qian Hao turned around, "But if it is compared to the trial resources, Gunma Town can even be said to be middle and upper-class!"

"Ahh

According to the usual standard of thinking, the trial resources determine the prosperity of the town. But this is not the case in Gunma Town, its trial resources are quite acceptable, but the prosperity in it is very rare.

The reason for this can be traced back more than 20 years. Originally, Gunma Town was one of the largest towns in the Kingdom of Saran, not only rich in trial resources, but also first-class in population and area.

However, more than twenty years ago, the Sauron Empire invaded the area, and they even reduced it to ruins. Although the war was won, Gunma never looked back. A large number of people migrated to other places, resulting in the town becoming a medium-sized town. However, because many trial instructors were still there, its heritage was not lost, so the trial resources in Gunma Town were relatively rich.

It's just that this abundance doesn't last long. When these powerful coaches grow old, Gunma Town will also be lonely.

"That's the way it is!" Qian Hao didn't forget to clap his hands after he finished speaking.

Shen Mengting and Jiang Jingwen listened very carefully, while Zhao Yu had already read the road signs of each fork in the road.

He did see words such as 'swordsman, archer archer, magician, healer'. When he reached the last path, he saw the words 'Blood Shaman'.

For a moment, Zhao Yu's heart trembled. The profession of blood shaman did not bring Zhao Yu much good mood. On the contrary, he even felt the urge to vomit.
