Chapter 18: The Confrontation with the Witch
Under the watchful eyes of the participants, the round wheel door covering the pillar of light slowly dissipated, indicating that the awakening ceremony of the job manager was nearing the end.
The Commanders who were sitting on the rostrum stood up and looked at the creatures present. As the representative of the hosts, Dawn Star crossed over the rest of the Dominions, and the next scene was similar to the scene that Slang and Fangji saw in the world behind the door.
Unlike the world behind the door, this time it was not the sage who gave the final speech, but the Dawn Star, and in Lucifer's words, there was no follow-up about the so-called trial.
In this way, the world behind the door is to some extent an indication of what will happen at a certain time in the future, but everything that happens will not exactly follow the development of the world behind the door.
------------ Dividing Line-----------
The light of the sun shines into the quiet room with the gentle cry of the birds, waking up the young man who is tired from the long run. Opening his eyes slightly, as if he had adapted to the scene in front of him, Slang turned over and began to prepare to wash, and yesterday's experience came back to his mind.
After a night's rest, the team that went to the imperial capital of Stilar to participate in the awakening ceremony of the job agency embarked on the way back the day after the ceremony. Now, the place where Si Lang and the others are located is the prosperous town of Dandis, that is, the place where they went to the imperial capital to renovate a little.
As for why we stayed here instead of going back to Kurgess, it all started with the road back.
The job introduction awakening ceremony is over, and the awakened who thought they would stay in Stilal for a while are ready to enjoy the bustling scene of the imperial capital. Who knows, as soon as he returned to his place of residence, the Sage appeared in front of everyone and gave the order that the team would officially leave for return the next afternoon.
As for more content, the sage didn't say much, but asked those present to prepare, and what to prepare, Ars didn't say much and left.
In the end, this team left the bustling imperial capital in a hurried march against the scorching sun, and finally arrived at the town of Dandis at the intersection of the two realms before the night came.
After arriving in the town, mages, soul walkers, and berserkers, who were almost transparent throughout the Career Awakening Ritual, also began to command the team at this time. Strangely, the sage who was originally dominant did not appear at this time.
As if aware of the doubts of the elites of the Eastern Realm, the mage took a step forward and waved his hand to bring a trace of warmth to the people present who were slightly tired from the hurry.
In the next moment, the Ocean Blue Circle spread out in the team, and everyone within the range of the circle felt that their originally tired bodies began to soothe, and their slightly sluggish spirits were also swept away by the increase of spells.
Many of the people present were seeing and experiencing the power of high-level spells for the first time, which made them yearn for it even more.
Seeing the fighting spirit in the eyes of most of the elites present, Ralphli smiled slightly, and said, "It seems that the little ones are full of fighting spirit now, which is a good thing." It's just that why we left the imperial capital so quickly, but didn't go back to Kurghs, you should have doubts about this?"
Hearing the mage's words, the young girls who were still imagining a bright future after gaining their power also rejoiced from their own fantasies at this moment, and looked at the mermaid queen with doubts.
Seeing these puzzled eyes, Ravli continued: "Actually, if you think about what a few days will be, then you will probably know why we are here."
As if an illusion, Fang Scar, who lives in the sea of souls, heard a slight hint of naughtiness in Ravli's words, and looked at each other strangely, always feeling that this seemed to be the real mermaid queen
Hearing the Mermaid Queen's reminder, the more active minds in the audience had already estimated the approximate reason. In two days, the new college admissions trial day will come.
In fact, this day is very easy to remember, but the elites of this team have just completed the most important step in the cultivator's life, the awakening of the job introduction, and they are in the excitement that they have forgotten this grand event for a while.
After the era of the dance of gods and demons, it is the main ephemeris, and under the illumination of the five main stars in the sky, the creatures on the continent of Ephesola have overcome the difficulties after the disaster, and the various races on the continent are developing steadily and rapidly.
The surviving races are fully aware that if they continue to fight recklessly, they will welcome a second Demon King, and they are not sure if there will be a god who will help them. As a result, at the Survival Conference held on the mountain of Elgra, a ban on ethnic warfare was explicitly issued.
However, in order to solve the innate sense of destruction of intelligent lifeforms, it was made clear in the meeting that there could be a competition between academies and a competition for talent reserves between realms, and the Rank Awakening Ceremony was actually a manifestation of the competition for talent reserves between realms.
Under the influence of the meeting, the specialized and all-round academy in the Five Directions Realm came into being. Every three years, colleges on the mainland open up places for all aspirants to go and study.
Of course, there are not only cultivators who have awakened their ranks, but also people who mainly focus on such aspects as literature, history, art, and so on, and it is precisely because of such different forms that the Ephesola Continent is now so colorful.
Two days later was another prosperous day in the mainland after three years - the college enrollment day. Once you miss the admissions trial, if you want to enter the academy again, unless you have a solid enough backstage, you should obediently wait for another three years.
For long-lived species, three years may be nothing, but for short-lived species, it is very scarce. How many three years are there in life? Three years of systematic study and the allocation of resources are all advantages that distinguish college students from wild job agents.
Although there are many wild job seekers who are stronger than college students, the vast majority of wild job seekers still yearn for the life of the college. Because in the academy, cultivators will have a relatively stable environment, instead of living a cruel life of the law of the jungle.
Although entering the academy to cultivate is something that almost every job intermediary yearns for, the reality is still cruel. Unless it is a non-combat profession, if you want to enter the academy to cultivate, the first prerequisite must be a cultivator who has awakened the rank.
"There are ants under the holy realm, and there is no dust on the entry level. "This is an old saying that circulates on the continent of Ephesola.
After the era of the dance of gods and demons, the changes in the rules of heaven and earth and the laws of heaven and earth caused many living beings to die in the awakening of the ranks, so that nothing in this life was dust. And awakening the rank does not mean that you can safely enter the academy to cultivate. Prior to this, every college had a common test criterion – the Admissions Trial.
In the Admissions Trial, the results obtained by the participants will determine the college they choose, which is a form of protection for those who participate in the trial.
The college has the right to evaluate the strength of the participants, so the participants also have the right to choose the college that suits their own development tendencies after a fierce selection. And the place where the enrollment trial will be conducted in the Eastern Realm this time is the intersection of the two realms where Si Long and the others are at the moment, near the Green Sea Greenfield not far from Dandis Town.
"Buckle button", a brisk knock sounded, and the young man who woke up from his memories only had time to say hello to his best friend, and then opened the door to greet the guests who knocked on the door.
What appeared in front of Si Lang was not the expected little girl Lingxue or other acquaintances, but the witch who walked "together" with him when he went to the imperial capital.
At this moment, the original drowsiness disappeared in an instant, and the twelve points of spirit rose, and the young man entered a state of high alert. With the help of Si Lang's eyes, Fang Qi, who had been looking at the outside world, his eyes became sharp at this moment, and the silver rays that were inadvertently emanated, different from Si Lang's golden soul power, were also restrained by his control at this moment.
After seeing that the other party noticed him, his originally slightly loose eyes actually became sharp, and the unique soul aura that had always attracted him on the way to the imperial capital actually became empty as the little guy in front of him became serious, and at this moment a trace of an inexplicable smile appeared on the witch's face, and the big eyes that were charming flashed with a very bad light in the eyes of Si Long and Fang Zhen.
Taking a slight step back to give up his position, Slang saluted the Soul Walker with respect and said, "Respected Ruler, how can I help you?"
Hearing the flat tone of the other party's words, a trace of surprise flashed in Lytina's eyes.
As the ruler of a race, and at the same time a ruler beyond the Holy Realm, in addition to the same level, even if he is only one level lower than himself, the conversation with himself is full of endless excitement and respect.
There had never been a person who had remained so calm knowing that he was talking to the Dominion, and it seemed that he had found something interesting!
"Oh, little one, do you know I need your help?" said the witch with a hint of urgency, "I'm looking for someone, well, it may not be accurate, it's something that attracts me, little one, do you know what it is?"
Hearing Lytina's question, Slang's hair instantly stood upside down. The coolness of the early morning felt like a biting cold wind to the boy, and his originally dry body was now soaked with sweat.
In the sea of souls, when he heard the witch mention that she was looking for something to attract her, Fang Scar was already curled up all over his body, and the silver soul power that belonged to him was all restricted.
In the outer layer, the soul power that emitted a golden luster surrounded it, and the soul sea that was originally between the gold and silver was only left with a golden brilliance, and the square mark was completely cut off from the outside world.
From different starry skies, close friends who have lived together for more than ten years have done all this perfectly under instinct, and Slang responded to the witch standing in front of him: "My lord said that I laughed, as an ordinary person, how do I know what the adult is looking for? But since the adult mentioned it, then I will definitely pay attention to it and try my best to help the adult find something suspicious." ”
"Oh, I'm relieved to have your words, little one. By the way, your name is Slang, right? Yes, yes, I've been following you for a long time, don't disappoint your family. Hearing Slang's reply, Litina didn't dwell too much.
The smile on the witch's face intensified when she noticed that the silk-thin soul power had disappeared the moment Slang responded to her. After saying that, Lytina gently raised her hand and patted Slang on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement, and then disappeared in front of Slang.
After closing the door and returning to the room, after waiting for a moment to make sure that the witch had really left, Slang leaned against the door as if he had collapsed. At the same time, the golden giant egg condensed in the soul sea also began to shatter, and the silver light began to surge along with the shattering of the golden giant egg. The square marks that were originally curled up also stretched out, and he secretly said "It's dangerous".
However, as if to make a joke for the two of them, when Fang Scar's soul re-exuded a unique aura, a demonic pink-purple magic array was instantly triggered when the witch patted his shoulder with his bare hand.
Mixed with the pink and purple magic array, a trace of soul power that only belonged to the ultimate in domination broke through the limitations of the body, instantly came to the side of the trace in the soul sea, and without it noticing, rushed to the position of the heart.
And when this trace of soul power surged towards the square mark, the strange blue magic circle that neither of them was aware of in the awakening ceremony of the job introduction resurfaced at this time, and instantly marked that trace of soul power with lightning speed.
After the sigil was formed, the blue circle fell silent again. The pure soul power that had been marked by the blue circle only paused for a moment before it was successfully buried in the heart.
Neither of them was aware of what was happening, and they were still glad that there were no flaws just now.
The Soul Walker, who had been deemed to have left by Slang and Fang Scar, was discussing the Admissions Trial with the other three Rulers at the moment, but a smile appeared on Charm's face when the magic array he used as a backhand just in case it was triggered.
When the three people present saw this expression, they were all surprised at how the witch who had a serious face just now suddenly had a smiling face.
Sensing her gaffe, Litina immediately put away her smile, and then said to the three of them, "It's nothing, it's just that I just suddenly found a very interesting little guy, let's continue to discuss." ”
Hearing the witch's explanation, the sage and the berserker didn't think much about it, after all, this was the other party's private matter, and there was no need to get to the bottom of it.
It was only with a woman's intuition that when the witch mentioned the funny little one, the mage rarely sensed a trace of joy hidden in his friend. However, the most important thing now is the triennial enrollment trial, and the mermaid queen can only suppress the doubts in her heart.
As the conversation of the four Species Rulers continued, Slang and Fang Zhen also welcomed a second guest on their side.
