Chapter 19: Elite
"Lu Lei, are you taking my words as a fart? Or do you think that I am not qualified to discipline you at all? Are you a pig's brain?"
Seeing the large army of the trial ground walking away, Zhang Zhijie ripped off the disguised smiling face. He straightened his face and glared viciously at Lu Lei, who was a head taller than him and was extremely strong.
And the corresponding is Lu Lei, who didn't dare to talk back. Lu Lei swung his face to the other side, and made a movement of shaking his waist and legs.
"What's wrong? Don't you dare to reply? Or do you think it doesn't make sense. ”
Lu Lei seemed to have been patient, and his movements of shaking his legs were also speeding up.
"Say whatever you say, don't hide it. Zhang Zhijie slammed his staff to the ground.
After Lu Lei quickly glanced at Zhang Zhijie, he walked around frantically. I saw him go around a tree in a circle for a while, and then suddenly change trains and go straight. At the same time, his hands were not idle, and he waved his fist directly at the air in front of him.
"It's been two days, it's been two days. We've been fucking looking in this forest for two days. That old man, Yang Jiening, was born and could not see his body. I don't even know where he's gone? Damn, what the hell. And also...... He was about to kill him before, but he escaped. It's harder to find him now than to climb to the sky. Fuck, it's pissed, pissed. ”
Lu Lei suddenly vented at a thick tree, and he kept beating the trunk. Soon, a towering tree with a diameter of two meters was interrupted by his bare hands.
The tree then fell, making a tumbling 'boom' sound.
"Hey, hey, I said, can you please not make such a big noise! It wouldn't be nice to mess with the people in that proving ground again. He Weilin angrily looked at the crazy Lu Lei and squinted his eyes.
"That's how the reckless man is, thinking that cutting down a few trees will accomplish the goal. ”
"Zhu Qi, what are you talking about?" Lu Lei suddenly turned his head. He glared twice, and rushed towards Zhu Qi's side, "Do you have a kind of repeat?"
Walking briskly in two steps and one step at a time, Lu Lei's hand also touched the hilt of the sword on his waist.
"What, do you think I didn't plant it?" Zhu Qi was not afraid at all. He clenched his staff, and a slight source of lightning light shone on his other hand, which was held up towards the sky.
At the moment when the two were about to meet, Zhang Zhijie suddenly knocked the trunk of the tree next to him with his staff. After a 'snap', his roar followed.
"What are you doing? You know how to quarrel all day long, can a few quarrels solve the problem? Shut them all up. ”
Zhang Zhijie's reprimand had an effect, Lu Lei and Zhu Qi turned their backs to each other, and neither of them seemed to want to see each other. And He Weilin stood a little farther away in a timely manner.
Then, Zhang Zhijie said to everyone in a relatively calm tone: "I know, you have been looking for two days and have not found the target, and you are a little irritable. But as I said before, the old man was seriously injured irreversibly, and he would not have survived long, let alone run far. So we just have to work hard! ”
Seeing that his three subordinates stopped talking, Zhang Zhijie let out a low 'um' sound with satisfaction.
"We have been sent here by the Sauron Nation to do business, first and foremost, to unite. Do you understand unity?" Zhang Zhijie raised his left hand, and the staff he held also shook in midair, "It is to abandon grievances, don't tear each other down because of some personal matters, or who so-and-so doesn't like, and it's okay to sarcastically mock each other." ”
Zhu Qi realized that Zhang Zhijie was looking at him, so he immediately pursed his lips and turned his face away.
"I don't want any more discord between you, you know?"
The three subordinates nodded their heads at the same time. Seeing this, Zhang Zhijie took a deep breath and looked into the sky.
"Don't forget, we're tasked with it. In the process of our work, the large army is also slowly gathering. It is believed that it will not be long before the army of the Sauron Kingdom will enter here and completely purify the land. ”
Probably because of what this sentence rendered, Lu Lei's spirit improved a lot. "Yes, I can. And this time it won't fail like it has been for more than two decades, because we have prepared well. ”
"So!" Zhang Zhijie tapped the head of his staff to the ground, "Everyone is looking forward to this and proud of it." Be aware of your burdens. Don't let your plans be affected by personal emotional factors. ”
At this moment, Lu Lei and Zhu Qi finally showed a little ashamed looks. They sighed at the same time, one of his shoulders sinking rapidly, and the other bent over and slumped up.
"Especially Lu Lei. Zhang Zhijie rolled his eyes and glared at Lu Lei, "I've said I don't know how many times, don't clash with the Saran." As a result, you didn't listen, and you actually fought with them just now. Did you know that it may have been your impulse that almost led to our whereabouts being exposed? ”
Even though Lu Lei lowered his head and lowered his shoulders, he still showed a slightly unwilling expression when he heard the criticism that was only aimed at him, "Captain Zhang Zhijie, if I am really impulsive and my plan is affected, you can come and scold me." But there's one thing I really don't understand. ”
Lu Lei spread out his hands: "Why don't you keep preventing me from planting those inferior Sarans! Their life is simply a shame for mankind, and they should be destroyed." ”
"But it's not now. I've made it very clear, the most important thing for us at the moment is to find Yang Jiening, and we can't let him hand over the black covered document bag to Qingse City. Otherwise, the efforts of our Sauron Kingdom for several years will come to naught, and you won't understand the stakes involved!"
"But if you just do a few inferior species, then it's not a conflict?"
Facing a stunned young man like Lu Lei, Zhang Zhijie shook his head and sighed. It was He Weilin who helped explain.
"Lu Lei, it's not that you won't be allowed to kill those inferior people, but your actions may expose our whereabouts. We came to Salan to stop Yang Jiening, but if you impulsively kill people indiscriminately, it will arouse the vigilance of Saran. Wouldn't we lose more than we gained?"
"How can it be possible to arouse the vigilance of other countries? Take the rice buckets of the group of trials just now, I can kill them all with just one or two percent of my skill. How could it cause our whereabouts to be exposed?"
"But can't you think like this?" Zhang Zhijie took a few heavy steps towards the ground, "These people all have relatives in Vortex Town, if you kill them all, will their relatives not come out to find them?" ”
"Then there's the scare of snakes. If only that old man Yang Jiening hadn't died, he was just hiding somewhere in the woods. You made a random move and caused him to notice. Didn't he be able to anticipate the imminent threat so he could flee quickly?"
He Weilin was right. Whatever the reason, you should choose to restrain yourself as much as possible. If you only ignore our situation for the sake of a little pleasure in front of you, then you are not worthy of being an elite swordsman of the Sauron Nation. Zhang Zhijie directly pointed sharply at Lu Lei with his staff.
When the action of swinging the cane caused a small wind, the head of the cane was firmly thrown between Lu Lei's eyebrows.
Lu Lei leaned back slightly in a trance, and he swept the staff that he pointed at again, facing Zhang Zhijie's eyes.
Soon, Lu Lei showed a look of remorse with a frown. This is not only because he was pointed at by the staff, but also because he was shocked by the words 'unworthy to be an elite swordsman of the Sauron Kingdom'. His goal has always been to become the number one swordsman in the kingdom of Sauron.
"Yes, Captain Zhang Zhijie, you are also good, I will pay attention to it in the future. Lu Lei lowered his head and confided to himself. However, after a brief apology, he straightened up again, "But there is one sentence that I still don't vomit and displeasure." Either way, my image of the inferior Sarans is impossible to change. ”
He twitched half of his face and poked at random, "I really can't figure out why there is such an inferior species among the human race as the Sarans? Even, every time I meet a Saran, I want to hack them to death. Really, their existence is simply a disgrace to humanity, and it is a desecration of the human race. ”
"Take the people from the Proving Ground just now. I'm sure none of them have a senior class title. Isn't this an insult to the word trial?"
"Well, I understand what you think. At the beginning, I also saw through the corruption and incompetence of Saran, so I broke away and joined Sauron. But now is not the time for you to vent. At present, our goal is to find Yang Jiening, and then burn the black covered document bag in his hand, it's that simple. As for your dislike for those inferior people, you can wait until our army is wiped out here. ”
Lu Lei also felt reasonable when he heard it, he scratched the tip of his nose, and finally nodded.
"Yes, okay. Hopefully, you can do what you say. Zhang Zhijie put away the staff that pointed at others. He took a few steps into the distance, "Alright, that's the end of it." Don't mention it again in the future, and don't make a fuss about it again. When saying this, he also deliberately glanced at Zhu Qi a few times, "Unity is the most important, don't make any more contradictions." ”
Zhu Qi understood what Zhang Zhijie wanted to express, even if he was not very convinced, he would still follow their Captain Zhang Zhijie's advice.
In the future, he will no longer carry it with Lu Lei, Zhu Qi licked his lips that were already a little chapped, and wiped his cheeks with the back of his hand.
"So, Teacher Zhang Zhijie. What exactly should we do now?" He Weilin came to Zhang Zhijie's side, respectfully half-bent down and gave a fist salute.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Zhang Zhijie asked rhetorically.
He Weilin seemed a little surprised, he straightened up and looked at his teacher in surprise. At this moment, Zhang Zhijie's expression also had a kind of flirtatious style, he just wanted to test the intelligence of this apprentice.
He Weilin immediately entered a state of meditation. He pressed his finger against the bridge of his nose, and after a long 'uh......-huh' sound, he suddenly looked up.
"I think the most important thing right now is to put yourself in their shoes. ”
"Oh?" Zhang Zhijie's eyebrows quickly raised.
Not only Zhang Zhijie, but the other two also showed puzzled expressions.
"It doesn't make much sense to wander through the woods in a daze. He Weilin looked at his master with an extremely serious gaze. After that, he turned his head to look at the other two again, "This forest is so big, it would be too much work to find it like a headless fly." So, we have to find the right way. ”
"What way?" Zhu Qi slammed the staff in his hand to the ground in front of him, like a cane, and he quietly approached He Weilin.
"It's empathy. He Weilin's eyes slammed sharply into the corners of the side orbit, "We have to consider the problem from Yang Jiening's thinking, not simply from our standpoint." As far as Yang Jiening is concerned, he had made so much effort to steal the black covered document bag from our Sauron country, just to send it to Qingse City safely. In other words, Yang Jiening's most important purpose at present is to protect the black cover document bag. ”
"Well, go on. The corners of Zhang Zhijie's mouth are hooking upward.
"Wounded so badly, there were pursuers behind him. I think he knew very well that he couldn't go to Kiyose Castle anymore. So......" He Weilin paused deliberately, "if I were him, I would have taken refuge somewhere in the woods." After all, this is the most secure way to protect the black cover document. ”
"After taking refuge, he should try to find help from others, and then send the documents to Kiyose Castle through the hands of others. ”
"Whose help are you looking for?" asked Zhu Qi.
He Weilin shook his head: "I'm not sure about this. But I'm almost certain that he shouldn't be able to run around the woods in a daze anymore. ”
"So what you're trying to say is. Because he was deliberately hiding somewhere, we couldn't have found him in the woods. ”
That's pretty much what it means. ”
Lu Lei twisted his body in the opposite direction of the crowd with disdain.
How can they find Yang Jiening, none of them have a spectrum in their hearts.
"It's also possible that someone will come here to connect with him. Zhang Zhijie looked around at his three subordinates, "After all, Yang Jiening has a supreme position in Salan, and there will definitely be friends to help him." ”
"Teacher Zhang Zhijie said that I have also considered it. So we now need to figure out what Yang Jiening will do next, and how he will send the documents out. ”
"What do you think he will do?"
He Weilin's eyelids suddenly sank downward: "I think he should have marked some kind of mark in the woods and asked his friends to find him." Of course, it could also be to go to a nearby town and connect directly with friends inside. ”
"The closest town here is Vortex. If the scope is widened, it will be Jiaoshan Town, which is more than ten kilometers away. With Yang Jiening's injuries, he obviously couldn't get there. ”
"So there's only two places, Vortex Town and this woods. He Weilin raised his head and looked at the sky above.
Even though the sky was boundless, it was obscured by the leaves of the towering trees, revealing a few small pieces of blue cloth. This made He Weilin clear that Yang Jiening is currently a turtle in his dreams, and he can't escape from here safely.
At this time, Lu Lei walked towards He Weilin.
"So, after you said so much, you still haven't found Yang Jiening's crosshairs. ”
"But at least we've got the results under control. He Weilin did not shy away from his companion's questioning, and directly met his gaze, "Even if we can't find Yang Jiening, we can at least guarantee that the document has not been sent out yet." In this way, it means that our mission has not failed. ”
"Yes, He Weilin is not wrong at all. Zhang Zhijie highly praised, "The first purpose of our visit is the black cover document. As long as it doesn't reach Kiyose Castle for a day, we won't fail for a day. ”
After poking the ground with his staff, Zhang Zhijie looked at He Weilin with admiration.
He Weilin is an apprentice after Zhang Zhijie defected to the country of Solon, and was recommended by others. When they first met, Zhang Zhijie heard the name of this young man in his twenties.
In Cellos's usual thinking, the rank of the profession gradually increases with age. Most of them passed the primary level in the free unified trial at the age of 20, and then after a few years of polishing, they obtained intermediate professional qualifications. Then, on such a basis, I began to aspire to more powerful senior and even expert-level professional qualifications.
But not everyone's life trajectory is the same.
Some people are one step ahead of mediocre people in everything because they have great talents. For example, He Weilin, a child, passed the examination of an expert magician at the age of twenty-three.
This can be described as incredible. In the past, there were people who could pass a vocational intermediate qualification in their twenties, which already means that this person is very remarkable. This person's future will also be woven infinitely broad, and he will also pass the higher level trials to a large extent in the future. And He Weilin jumped two levels in a row, reaching a height that mediocre people can't reach anyway.
Moreover, the expert-level professional level can already be regarded as a mid-to-upper strength in Cellos. Besides, he's only a twenty-three-year-old young man!
Another point, in Zhang Zhijie's memory, it seems that no one can pass the expert-level career assessment before the twenty-fifth year, but He Weilin did it, and he advanced the record by two years. It is precisely because of this that Zhang Zhijie's expectations for He Weilin are very high.
Zhang Zhijie has always believed that in time, He Weilin will definitely become one of the best magicians in Cellos.
Of course, the other two young people who accompanied Zhang Zhijie were also the elite of the elite.
Before Zhu Qi reached the age of thirty, he was already one of the top expert blood shamans in Sauron's country. His rise also filled the void and weakness of the Blood Shaman in Sauron.
Lu Lei is also an expert-level swordsman who can take charge of himself, don't look at him sometimes recklessly, but he is a general who has been trained by the state.
As for Zhang Zhijie himself, he hooked the corners of his mouth. When he was in Saran, he was known as a genius magician, Yang Jiening's successor and other titles. But Zhang Zhijie himself is not satisfied, he needs to go to a higher platform. Then he took refuge in the kingdom of Sauron. At first, the Saurons did not trust him.
But with his constant efforts. Finally, more than a year ago, he passed the master-level magician examination. In other words, Zhang Zhijie is already standing in the upper echelons of the Cellos magician world.
That's it! Zhang Zhijie walked out of meditation.
"I won't say much else. Now the key is to stop Yang Jiening and his people. Whether he lives or dies, he must get the black covered document bag and destroy it. Do you understand?"
Under Zhang Zhijie's commanding roar, his three young subordinates replied in unison:
"Yes".
