The young men, who sensed what their king was going to do, could no longer be silent, so they knelt together together at this moment before Friday.
"Wang !!" The teenagers shouted in unison.
Drew was also kneeling, but his eyes were fixed on the bandage on Friday's right shoulder.
Wang, wounded on the right shoulder...... As Drew pondered the question, he finally turned his gaze to the small half of Friday's face that appeared under his mask.
Friday ignored the young men of the congregation who did not dare to trespass, but with a momentum that could not be ignored, he opened the small door, and a person quickly slipped inside, and turned around to relock the door.
Friday's steps towards the orcs and the carcasses of the beasts were not fast, but every step he took was steady and powerful.
Since Friday entered the steel pillar, the teenagers who knelt on the ground and just stopped Friday from entering, got up from the ground, all left the safe area designated for them to stand before Friday, and ran to the steel pillar, grasping the steel pillar with two hands, and looking at the tall figure who seemed to be able to shoulder all the hardships for all mankind with a worried and expectant gaze.
Friday's steady footsteps quickly caused the orc male to pull his body out of the massive head of the fallen beast.
When the male orc saw Friday wearing a mask, his originally cold and inorganic beast pupils not only turned into vertical pupils, but in the next second, it had already waved its claws and pounced towards Friday with great speed.
Compared to the swift figure of the male orc, which ordinary humans can't see, Friday's speed is not slow, so the teenagers on the other side of the steel pillar can only see the two intertwined figures and the fierce clashing sound that comes over.
The battle between Friday and the orc male took much longer than the duel between the orc and the beast just now, and in short, when Friday and the orc finally stopped moving, the onlookers and Drew felt as if a long time had passed.
When the boys, including Drew, finally saw the scene on the other side, they found that the winner of the battle was none other than the king who seemed to them to be omnipotent, because the male orc, at this time, was being nailed to the ground by their king with one foot on his chest.
When faced with this scene, the teenagers finally forgot all discipline, and waved their arms and shouted "King" and cheered together with the loudest voices.
Friday calmed down a little, raised the uninjured hand, and after signaling the young men to silence, he said: "I picked you out in the hope that one of you can succeed in becoming what I am now, tell me, do you want to become stronger?" ”
"I want to !!" The teenagers shouted in a frenzied voice, holding the steel pillar in their hands.
"Then if I tell you that no one has succeeded before this, and no one has survived since the experiment, do you still want to? Now, I'm giving you one last chance to quit, and you should think about it. Friday continued to speak in a deep voice to the teenagers, word by word.
Friday's words made the teenagers finally stop their wild shouting, but they were silent for long, and the surging blood buried deep in their bodies made them quickly make a decision.
"King, for the sake of the future of mankind, we are willing to accept this task!!" The eleven teenagers, including Drew, all knelt down again, and replied with one hand against their chests.
"Okay, come with me." Friday struck the male orc on the head several times with his uninjured hand, causing him to pass out and then leave him there and return to the boys.
The place where I brought the boys on Friday was the hall where the throne was located.
Friday, who had wrapped himself in armor again, turned around and sat down on the throne, and the eleven guards holding the tray stood in front of each of the boys.
"Now, I will give you time to leave a letter of family and a letter of life and death, if the experiment fails, this letter and the letter of life and death, as well as the documents of life and death left by your family when you were selected to enter the royal city, will be returned to your family, after that, I will select a person from your family and train him or her to become the lord of a city as compensation, remember, you must not mention anything about this place in the family letter." Friday said this, and sat back on the throne.
After listening to Friday's words, the boys took paper and pen from the tray held by the guard standing opposite them, and began to write their letters and life and death letters.
After the last teenager had written his letter and his life and death, Friday took them to a secret room that resembled an iron prison.
"There is a bottle of medicine on the table in each room, after you enter, the door will be locked from the outside, and tomorrow morning, the door will be reopened, after you enter the room, the thing to do is very simple, is to drink the medicine on the table, but it doesn't matter if you don't drink it, the choice is in your own hands." After Friday said this, the guards standing outside the iron gates had already opened the doors corresponding to them for the teenagers very efficiently.
After the boys had entered their own room, Friday walked to the room where Drew had just entered, and motioned for the guards to reopen the door.
Friday, who entered Drew's room, found that Drew was staring at a small vial of medicine on the table, not knowing what he was thinking.
Quietly coming behind Drew, Friday raised his arm, put his hand on Drew's shoulder and said, "Drew, it's still too late for you to opt out, and I can also give you the privilege of going back to the ground, as long as you can promise not to reveal everything here to anyone." ”
Friday's arm on Drew's shoulder and the sound of his voice made Drew, who was deep in thought, feel a little excited.
Turning his body quickly, Drew clenched his right hand into a fist to his chest and half-knelt up and replied to Friday: "Wang, I have decided to accept this experiment, please don't let me quit, even if the hope of success is very slim, but I still decided to try." ”
After listening to Drew's words, Friday finally took a deep breath, patted Drew's shoulder, and turned around and left the room without saying a word.
When Friday walked to the door, he didn't turn around and look through the door that was still slowly closing to look at Drew, who was still kneeling behind him, he just turned his back to the door, and it was not until the door was completely closed and locked by the guards that he left the secret room that carried the hope for the future of mankind with a steady pace.
