178 Assessment of both civil and military trades
The existence of the silver-haired maid not only made the challengers present feel like they were facing great enemies, but even the knife word said a few more words to them: "I'm sorry, even if no one stops you, Zai Xia will not be so easy to be killed, otherwise Zai Xia is not qualified to be the first layer of censors, but you are so confident, it seems that you used a special method to get here." ”
"What? Am I going to be kicked out? The silver-haired maid said with a smile.
"Nope." Daozi said, "No matter what method you use to get in, since you can come in, it is in line with the rules, and I, as a censor, only have the right to evaluate the challenger, not the right to expel the challenger, so as long as you accept our assessment, all your actions will not be restricted by us." ”
"Hey, isn't this fair, the legendary murderer is actually subject to the same assessment as us, this kind of thing ......" Someone on the side of the World Government suddenly made a dissatisfied voice, but before he could finish speaking, as the silver-haired maid looked over, he immediately closed his mouth with a chilling expression.
"Hehe, there is no absolute fairness in this world." "It is a matter of course that the weak should be eaten by the strong, and before you want to be fair, you must first ask if you have the qualifications to win fair." And the so-called assessment has nothing to do with your challenge battle, it's just that we unilaterally make a one-on-one assessment of you......"
Not far away, the dark night whispered to Su Bai: "Legend has it that two hundred years ago, the strength of the killer was infinitely close to the ghost king level, although I don't know if it is true or not, but she is undoubtedly stronger than all of us here combined, if those words are for our assessment, if the challengers are to face each other, we have no chance of winning." ”
"I see, that's why that guy said it's unfair." Su Bai was stunned. "But if she really has that kind of strength, how did she get in? Wouldn't this relic repel the powerhouses above the ghost general? ”
Although Su Bai was full of doubts about this, at this moment, what made him more concerned was the ghost-faced witch, although the clothes were different and the temperament was slightly different, but he knew that this ghost-faced witch and the ghost-faced girl he had seen twice were definitely the same person...... Or rather, the same doppelganger!
I didn't expect to see each other again so soon. It was not much of a surprise to him, but the presence of this ghost-faced witch seemed to be very thin, and the other challengers didn't seem to pay much attention to her except for himself.
She just sat quietly in the corner, as if she was completely out of the way.
"Hey, I'm getting the point wrong." At that moment, one of the demons stood up and shouted, "Then again, why should we be subject to that inexplicable assessment? At least I don't have that obligation. ”
"Of course you can refuse. The door to the next level is here, and you are fully qualified to enter the next level without passing our assessment, but I cannot tell you the consequences. ”
As he spoke, he saw the twenty white jade doors. One of the doors suddenly turned into pitch black and slowly opened.
The demon glanced at it a few times, then sat down again, and said with a wicked smile, "Hehe." As you said, if you want to give us the secret of the first layer of the ruins, I won't leave easily until then. ”
This demon may seem arrogant. But obviously it also has a brain, and the other challengers naturally know that with the current situation, it is absolutely stupid to enter the next layer without passing the assessment, so no one walked towards the black door.
For this result, Daozi didn't seem surprised, and he didn't have the idea of closing the black door, but said: "Okay, since everyone has no opinion, then we can officially start the class......
"May I ask, have all the challengers already arrived?" The sweet-looking human wolf girl asked.
"Yes, although there are not only eight of you challengers this time, the other challengers have already lost their qualifications and it is impossible for them to come here again, if you are interested, I can show you the scene of their defeat."
"No, this is still exempt, please get straight to the point." The middle-aged man next to Yui Sakurashita said.
"Hehe, since that's the case, then I won't waste everyone's time anymore." The tone of the knife word was full of smiles, "First of all, before the assessment, I will briefly explain to you all the secrets of the first layer of the ruins...... This whole ruin layer is actually a labyrinth, the name of the maze is perseverance, the thirteen roads can only lead to the end of the maze by walking the same way, and it is also the only way to crack this maze, if you change lanes halfway, even if it is only once, it is impossible to walk on the right path before re-entering, and as for the countless doors, they all lead to the exit. ”
"Hehe, this kind of maze is quite interesting." The demon chuckled and asked, "So, what are those human machines that we've defeated out there?" ”
"That's the Labyrinth Guardian." "As you think, they're all mechanical creatures, machines that have been brought to life by the great power of the ruins, and defeating them is the only qualification to enter this examination room." ”
"It is better to see than to be able to give life to a machine, what is that great power in your mouth?" Kelser, the white-robed priestess, asked.
"Sorry, this question is outside the scope of the first layer, I can't answer it."
"According to you, the only secrets on the first level are the above?" The third brother of the battle race asked.
"Yes, as I said earlier, the first layer of the ruins is just a labyrinth, and it is impossible to contain too many secrets, if you want to know more things, you can only enter the higher levels of the ruins, of course, if you are afraid to accept my assessment, you can also go back the way you came, and I can send you back unharmed. It's just that once you return here, you will never be eligible to enter the ruins a second time, and the ruins will never accept the challenge of cowards. ”
"Humph!"
A cold snort grew, and no one chose to leave.
"Well, it looks like everyone is brave." Daozi seemed to be very happy, and continued: "Having said so much, I think everyone should be a little unable to wait, so I will reveal to you here what the assessment is......
As he spoke, a square three-dimensional light screen suddenly appeared in the center of the room, and the word knife jumped into the air. Standing in front of the light screen, he said: "The assessment is divided into two categories, namely martial arts and civil fighting, martial arts as the name suggests, of course, is to assess everyone's combat ability, but how to assess the method is varied, it may require you to defeat how many opponents in a limited time, or it may require you to defeat a fixed character." Wendou is relatively much more troublesome, poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are to cooking decoration, any project is possible. So...... If someone accidentally draws Wendou and it is a project that he is not familiar with, then I can only say a word of condolences by the way. ”
Su Bai frowned, "In other words, the items assessed are all randomly selected, so are the people who are assessed also randomly selected?" ”
"Correct." Daozi said, "You eight groups of challengers, each group has only one chance to be assessed, and the people and items to be assessed are randomly selected, and once selected, they cannot be changed." At the same time, you can't give up. ”
"What happens if I fail the exam?" The silver-haired maid asked with a smile.
"It is responsible for the loser." The word knife pointed to the eating word sitting on the side, and the latter saw the eyes of everyone, and immediately put the word on the left side, the meaning is self-evident.
Including Su Bai. Everyone saw that their hearts trembled.
"Okay, everyone should have no questions about the form of assessment, right? Then the assessment officially begins! Without waiting for the challengers to answer, the knife word slammed into the light screen, and then two lines of words jumped on the light screen.
Kate!
Martial arts!
Daozi said excitedly. "Very well, the first lucky person to be selected is Mr. Kate, and the type of assessment is martial arts...... So. Who is Mr. Kate? ”
Behind the white-robed priest Kelser, the knight standing in the middle with a sword stepped out, "It's me. ”
"Oh, it turned out to be a knight of the Church." Dao Zi said politely, "Hello Kate Knight, now please click on the word martial arts on the light screen, and you will randomly select a martial arts project." ”
Kate glanced at the white-robed priest, and after the latter nodded, he suddenly jumped forward, tapped the back of his hand on the light screen, and then the words on the light screen changed to one line: Kill ten armored demon lions.
"Oh, oh, it's going to be this project, it seems that Kate's Knight is very strong." Daozi shouted excitedly, his tone was like those who wanted to set off the atmosphere of the show, but for these people present, this matter was not worth being excited about at all, especially Kate himself, he didn't think he was a lucky person, and the decrepit child was about the same.
If you don't have any actual information, it's your turn to be the first to come up and challenge, which really can't be considered a lucky thing, and the ten armored demon lions, just from the name, it is not difficult to imagine, they must be mechanical creatures, if those ten armored demon lions, each of them is as strong as the guardian outside, he will definitely not be able to win.
And the most important thing is that his victory or defeat is not only related to his own life and death.
Thinking of this, Kate's heart couldn't help but be full of uneasiness.
But whether he has confidence or not, he must fight this battle, and then everyone saw that a white light suddenly sprinkled on the light screen, directly enveloping Kate's whole person, and then with a whoosh, the next moment, he had already appeared in the light screen.
Most people's eyes widened at the sight of this scene.
"At this moment, Kate Knight has been teleported to the world of the mirror, and everyone can enjoy his heroic battle. ”
In the light screen, Kate stood on a boundless grassland with a knight's sword in hand, and with the roar of the beast from time to time, soon, ten mechanical lions that were slightly larger than ordinary lions had already rushed towards him.
Immediately afterward, the battle was on the verge of breaking out.
Whether it is in terms of body shape or momentum, these ten armored demon lions are impossible to compare with the guardians, but they are already quite strong, at least in Su Bai's opinion, the combat power of these iron-armored demon lions is much stronger than any artificial lifeform on Rich Island except for angels.
"And not only that, we didn't report our names just now, the church has been silent since those people came in, except for a limited number of people, our eight groups of challengers hardly have any communication, but when the challengers were drawn, the names of the challengers were directly displayed on the light screen, and it was seen that after we came in, something in this room had already recorded all of us." Su Bai whispered.
Styx nodded, "It's also a bit strange to say that the word knife says, just seeing this assessment item, it says that Kate Knight is very strong." Could it be that the assessment items are also random according to the strength of the challenger? ”
Since the knife word is the examiner in charge of the assessment, it must be very clear about all the assessment items, and it should also know what the difficulty range of each assessment item is, assuming that Kate's random project is more difficult, then if this kind of randomness has no strength limit, it will not say that Kate's strength is very strong.
Su Bai thought for a while and said: "Indeed, if all the items are rated according to the difficulty, then it is not difficult to hear from his words that the random selection is also determined by the strength of the challenger." It is impossible for a third-level challenger to randomly come up with the assessment items of level 9 and level 6, and it is impossible for a challenger at level 9 to randomly come up with the assessment items of level 6 and level 3. Therefore, on the other hand, this assessment will not be a fluke that allows us to pass easily, but it will also not be absolutely impossible to pass the test. ”
After finishing speaking, Su Bai's gaze subconsciously looked at the other challengers, and found that most of them had silk expressions in their eyes, and they should be thinking about similar questions...... After all, the hint of the knife word is too obvious, if you can't even think of this. It's time to go back to the mother's womb and wash your IQ again.
And judging from the battle in the light screen, Kate's knight's strength is indeed very strong, although he is one against ten, but he does not show too many disadvantages. A knight's long sword danced so tightly that ten armored demon lions couldn't hurt him in a short period of time.
And, as the battle continued, Kate didn't show any signs of fatigue. On the contrary, the more you fight, the more courageous you become.
From the perspective of this combat power alone, Su Bai said to himself, if he was when he participated in the Rich Island Martial Arts Meeting. Without using that black blood, even two of them probably wouldn't be able to beat one of him.
"Just a knight has this kind of combat power, it seems that the strength of the church is very strong." Su Bai muttered.
Styx had a natural expression, "Of course, after all, the Western Church is also a behemoth that has been inherited for thousands of years, and its heritage is unfathomable, if you ignore the underworld, they can basically be regarded as one of the top three spirit removal forces in this world." ”
"Oh, who are the other two top three Soul Removal Forces?" Su Bai asked curiously.
Styx replied: "One of them is the Eastern Buddhism, and the other is the Japanese Onmyoji, both of which can compete with the Western Church, but relatively speaking, Buddhism is much more low-key, so the fame is not big, but in terms of its heritage, Buddhism is undoubtedly the deepest...... Originally, there was going to be another Taoism, but after all, there were too many Taoist sects, and most of them were scattered all over the place, and they had never been unified, so they didn't enter this ranking, otherwise the three major spirit-eliminating forces would have to become the four major spirit-eliminating forces. ”
When it comes to Buddhism and Taoism, Su Bai is not the slightest surprise, after all, the fame of these two is leveraged, in various novels, movies and games, they are well-known and frequent visitors, and there are countless legends about these two sects, but the onmyoji is also one of the three major spirit-removing forces, which makes Su Bai feel a little surprised.
It's not that he underestimates the Onmyoji, but after all, the Onmyoji is just an organization that belongs to the land of Japan, whether in terms of inheritance or region, it is far from being able to compete with the Buddhist Court, and there is definitely no comparison in terms of numbers, after all, nine out of ten of the Onmyoji are Japanese, and how many Japanese are there, how can they squeeze into the top three?
Seeming to see Su Bai's doubts, Styx explained: "Originally, of course, the Onmyoji was not qualified to be compared with the Buddhist Sect, but they once produced a genius who carried forward the Yin-Yang Technique and completely rewrote the whole situation. ”
"Which genius?"
Styx only said four words: "Abe Qingming." ”
"It's him." Su Bai suddenly realized that this was really a familiar character.
"Although Abe Harumi has been dead for a long time, his influence has always existed, and because of him, there is more saint in the onmyoji. Every thirty-six years, a saint will be born in the blood of the Onmyoji, and as long as the inheritance of the saint continues, the Onmyoji will definitely not decline...... Once, Haruaki Abe predicted so. ”
"Holy Maiden......" Su Bai muttered these words, and his eyes subconsciously looked at Sakura Shitakura on the opposite side.
Immediately, I only heard the dark night and said: "And there has always been a faint rumor in the Onmyoji, saying that Abe Harumi is a character who has gotten rid of the cycle of life and death, and sooner or later he will return again, and once he comes to this world again, he will be able to reach the realm of eternity......"
"Eternity?" Su Bai's heart moved, and he asked with a little suspicion, "It seems that even the legendary-level powerhouse has not been able to reach this realm, Abe Qingming can?" ”
Styx shook his head, "I don't know, after all, this is just a rumor among the Onmyoji, maybe it's just an exaggerated statement, but...... It is true that the underworld has not received Abe Harumi's soul, just like those people from the world government, especially in the recent period ......" Speaking of this, she frowned slightly, "The rumor that Abe Harumi will be resurrected has become more and more serious, and Japan's lackeys of the underworld have spread the news to the underworld more than once, which makes people very concerned. ”
Will Harumi Abe be resurrected?
This was not a big deal, especially it had nothing to do with him Su Bai, but for some reason, when he looked at Sakurashita Kurayu, he instinctively had a bad premonition in his heart. (To be continued......)
