Chapter 36: The Trial
When Ron and his party arrived in the Holy Capital, it was already three days later, and they encountered a rare storm on the way, which delayed the group's trip for a day.
It is also strange that this storm appeared abruptly and disappeared very abruptly, although it lasted for a long time, it did not cause any damage to the academy, which can be regarded as a great luck in misfortune.
And when everyone passed through the palatial palace and entered the palace hall, Ron was instantly stunned.
At the top of the list was not King Sean, who wore a crown and held a golden scepter, but the elders of the four large chambers of commerce. But that's not the point, what surprised Ron so much was that one of the four people on the first floor turned out to be someone he knew, and that person was none other than Zangar, who hunted him and Owen half a month ago.
Zangar also saw Ron for the first time, and his eyes instantly narrowed into a slit, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a strange arc when he looked at Ron. He shook the red wine glass lightly in his hand, but he took a sip of wine and didn't say much.
Ron was looked at by Zangar with a thrill, and his brows were twisted into Sichuan characters. As he expected, this four-academy exchange competition may not be so simple.
Ron and Zangal's eye contact went unnoticed, and King Sean did his best to act as a corporal and had a good conversation with a group of students.
The welcome banquet didn't last long, and finally got to the point at the urging of several other colleges.
"Old man, I am the elder of the Flossis Chamber of Commerce, and perhaps you will all be curious as to why this exchange meeting of the Four Academies will be presided over by us old fellows of the Chamber of Commerce. ”
Deyo paused, and a sly smile appeared on his face, "Because what I want next is beyond the reach of the Holy Fran Empire itself." ”
Many students were shocked and straightened up one by one. Although none of them could see the cultivation of these Chamber of Commerce elders, it was definitely not difficult to see from the king's polite attitude towards them that these people must be extraordinary in cultivation. And such a big man wants to talk to their students, I'm afraid that just such a thing can make some students brag for a lifetime.
"King Sean has been given a copy of the Codex left by the god-level summoner Jurgen Klopp before his death. It contains a secret story about ancient runes. Legend has it that in the southeast of the empire, at the northernmost point of the Kohler Mountains, where the Hawthorne Grand Canyon joins, there is a place called the Cave of Time. ”
Hearing this, Ron's face changed suddenly, and his face, which was originally a little red from drinking, instantly turned pale.
"Ron, are you alright, why is your face so ugly?" Liya asked with concern when she saw Ron's face change.
Ron realized his gaffe and smiled awkwardly
, said: "I'm fine, maybe I was a little anxious to drink just now." ”
Seeing that the group of students below were talking all at once, Deyo pressed them with his hands, signaling everyone to be quiet, and only after everyone was quiet did he continue: "The Cave of Time is erratic, and it has been handed down from ancient times to the present, and few people can find it. Legend has it that it is the lair of the bronze dragon, one of the five ancient dragons who control the rules of time and space, and contains immortal treasures. ”
As soon as they heard that there was a treasure, many students screamed excitedly. Who doesn't love treasures.
"But the Cave of Time is extremely dangerous, and entering it can be a lifetime of death, and because the time inside is extremely chaotic, it is very likely that you will be 20 years old when you enter it, and you will be 80 years old when you come out. Ron coldly poured a basin of cold water on everyone's excited-looking heads.
Deyo's face stiffened slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched, but he didn't rush to refute Ron, but looked at Ron with interest and said, "Oh, this classmate seems to know a lot about the Cave of Time." ”
Ron didn't want to be in the limelight, after all, the matter was too big to be treated. Especially after he saw the real ancient dragon, the red dragon Philip, he had a better understanding of these five dragons.
"I've only learned about it from some ancient books. And, Elder Deyo, too, according to Klopp...... The adult's codex found that place, and the whereabouts of the Cave of Time were already wandering, how can you be sure that the Cave of Time is still in that place?" Ron said in the face of Deyo's aggressive gaze, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Well, yes, you're a fellow, you're not old, but you're not. But you only know one thing, you don't know the other. The Cave of Time appears once every 100 years, once it appears, it stays for a hundred years, then disappears for a hundred years and then reappears, and so on, and so on. This codex records the time when the Cave of Time was found, and it has only been more than 30 years since now, so the Cave of Time must still be in its original place. ”
Ron's face was also stiff, and he secretly slandered himself in his heart, he just wanted to make a note, and he used a special rune code to record it, so he remembered it in detail. But I didn't expect so many things to happen later. Until after his death, he didn't know where the notebook codex he carried with him on weekdays was lost, but he didn't expect this thing to be found by Sean.
"Even if the Cave of Time is still in place, it is indeed extremely dangerous, and I have seen it from some ancient books. We're just students, and even the highest level won't surpass the grandmaster, so it seems that we can't afford this treasure. A tall and imposing young man spoke. He happened to be standing opposite Sean, and the subtle eye contact between the two could hide from the others, but it couldn't escape the eyes of Ron and several Chamber of Commerce elders.
The elders of these chambers of commerce can live to this age, which one is not old and fine, where will they not be able to see these actions.
"Hey, that's what I'm going to do next. The magic of the Cave of Time is that it can only be entered by people under the Grandmaster, and if the strong person above the Grandmaster forcibly enters, it will definitely be eaten by the power of the rules of time and space, and there will definitely be no good fruit to eat. Deyo smiled like an old fox, and then glanced at Sean beside him.
Sean is surprisingly calm, the student who spoke just now was naturally arranged by him, after all, Deyo didn't have a ban on time with everyone before, it was all nonsense and some things, and now it has come out, I'm afraid it has other plans.
Soon, Deyo's words also confirmed Sean's guess.
I saw Deyo wave his hand, and a large group of young men and women suddenly poured in from outside the door. These people are undoubtedly not strong people above level 40, but they definitely don't look like they are more than 30 years old, and they are all geniuses like no other.
"These are carefully selected by me from the younger generation of the Chamber of Commerce, who will go into the Cave of Time with the students of the Four Colleges and be responsible for recording the changes. ”
"Deyo, you old fox, why didn't you tell us about the prohibition of the Cave of Time before!" a middle-aged fat man stood up angrily and pointed at Deyo's withered yellow face and said angrily.
"Hehe, Dilante, the Marshall Chamber of Commerce has always been no worse than our Flossis Chamber of Commerce in collecting information, such a thing, as an elder, don't you know? Tut-tut...... Deyo's face was full of treacherous smiles, and just as he wanted to say a few more mocking words, he saw the belly-bellied Dirant's face tremble, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Hmph, I'm glad I was prepared. ”
As the middle-aged fat man Dirant's words fell, I saw a group of guards behind him tear off the cloaks on his body with a bang, revealing the faces inside, and they were all young boys and girls in their 20s. A pretty girl at the head has already reached level 49, and she is only one step away from the realm of the grandmaster.
Seeing this, the other two chambers of commerce did not pretend to be deaf and dumb, and ordered their subordinates to take off their disguises.
Deyo's expression was more ugly than eating a fly, and he thought he had the chance to win, but he didn't expect to make a stinky move. However, he is also worthy of being an old monster who has lived for one hundred and eighty years, and such a thing is quickly ignored.
"Okay, since everyone is reluctant to talk about the rules, then everyone has their own ability, what do you like. I don't want anything else. Deyo looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, which made several elders of the Chamber of Commerce present grit their teeth with hatred, but they couldn't refute it. Who told someone to be able to decipher the codex left by Klopp?
