Chapter 280: Preparing to Leave
It's not just the participants here, there are also some ordinary mage apprentices, and the official mages are already called combat power and can be used on the battlefield, and none of them are here now. 「」
From this point, it can be seen that although the fortress is in a hurry, it is ready for battle, even if the demon army arrives later, it will not be without the power to react.
Ordinary apprentices are not useless in war, but since they are stuffed into the batches transferred by the participants, they are naturally useful.
Lin An sensed the spiritual power of this group of people, and found that although there was not much difference in quantity, there was a significant difference in pure Cheng Dù -
The apprentice is the lowest level of mage, and the apprentices assigned to the Bloody Fortress will not be too bad, even if the elite among them is a little different from the ordinary apprentice, it will not be so bad, only the participants who have experienced the Tower of Babel will have such an obvious distance from the ordinary apprentice.
If there are two or three out of a hundred people with an advanced probability among ordinary apprentices, then those participants are at least seven or eight out of a hundred people - this is not a very outrageous probability, you must know that the participants who enter the Tower of Babel are themselves elites cultivated by major forces, and the possibility of advancement is far greater than that of ordinary mages.
The average apprentices in the crowd were more than half of the total, and only a few of them could leave the group with the participants, and the rest were probably basically cannon fodder outcasts used to distract the audience. 「」
Lin An didn't pity them, and there was nothing to pity, since he came to the ice field, no one dared to guarantee that he would be able to leave alive, most of the mages were more rational and sober, and they must have been mentally prepared to never return before entering the ice field.
In retrospect, when she passed through Gaunt, she also felt that the road ahead was uncertain, but she never imagined that there would be such a twist and turn later, and the ups and downs could be written into a legendary novel.
Before Lin An walked into the assembly place, he had already changed his face and appearance again.
She didn't intend to listen to the white robe. Infiltrating the second batch of participants transferred by the participants in the face of Rogier, I am afraid that there will be many acquaintances of Rogill and Burren, and if you don't get it right, your identity will be exposed.
bumped into Rogier's acquaintances in a row, and Lin An knew that it was not okay to stand up to Rogier's star face, and it was okay to meet fewer people before. But in this concentration, perhaps even ordinary apprentices know many of Rogil:
With Rogil's character and identity. Of course, he disdained to associate with the ordinary circle of apprentices—his special treatment. It can be seen from the attitude of the white robe towards him - but it does not mean that others do not recognize him.
It is still possible to make an unfamiliar face and mix in the cannon fodder batch of ordinary apprentices, after all, the fortress is so big, and a group of people will be replaced every few months, even if it is a mage apprentice with a small circle, it may not necessarily have no fresh faces.
Sure enough, no one paid too much attention to Lin An walking in, even though she came very late, but someone just looked up and looked at it twice, so she took it back without caring about herself-
Mages are mostly nervous. Even if there are no sources, they all smell the wind and rain coming, and in this case, no one has time to distract from other things, and most people have a calm face. At most, he just exchanged words with acquaintances around him and exchanged news, but he kept his voice very low.
Passed this hurdle. It's half the battle.
Lin An found a position not far from the crowd and stood still, pulled on his hood to cover his face like a few mages nearby, and concentrated his mental strength to continue to erase the spiritual imprint in the "Illusion of Aegis"-
Now that she is only one line away from being able to officially recognize the owner, Lin An plans to completely erase the imprint of the original owner inside in a day at most, and put on her own, if the road goes smoothly and no one disturbs her, maybe it can be faster. 「」
Suddenly, there was a lot of noise around him, Lin An didn't completely concentrate on expelling the spiritual imprint, and kept half of his attention paying attention to the surroundings, and at this time he also knew the reason for the confusion of others.
It was the people who transferred the second batch who came.
It wasn't a mage, but a few knights.
The leader was draped in a complete body, holding a steel helmet in the crook of his strong arm, and the red tassels hanging from it indicated that he was a knight chief, but the fighting energy emanating from his body fluctuated as much as the three knights with masks behind him.
Of course, this is not to say that this knight chief and Rogier are all the way to the goods, and they are indiscriminate parallel goods, but the fighting spirit in the other party's body is more condensed, and the breath is contained in the body.
Lin An felt that he was roughly between the Golden Rank and the Elemental Civilization, similar to the rank of Lancet's uncle Adolf when they last met, and he was only one step away from entering the Black Iron Sword Master.
Dou Qi Enlightenment is a key and transition for martial artists in the Golden Rank to the Sword Saint Rank, and countless martial artists are stuck at this stage and cannot be crossed. After completing the Dou Qi Enlightenment and becoming a Black Iron Sword Saint, the life span of a martial artist will be greatly improved, and his appearance will be much younger, and before that, unless he has used any special rejuvenation methods or drugs, the appearance age of the average martial artist is his real age.
The golden rank of the warrior is equivalent to the official mage, and after entering the Black Iron Sword Saint, some of them can have the ability to fly in the air for a short distance, although they are subject to a lot of restrictions, but at least they have the power to fight in battle with the mage of the same rank.
This knight chief doesn't look like he's more than forty years old, even if it's easier for a martial artist to accumulate a career advancement than a mage, and reaching elemental enlightenment at this age, it can be called an excellent qualification and achievement, considering that he is Ma Pei's garrison officer, and his combat experience and strength are not much worse, then it is not an accident to become a person in charge of this group of participants.
The upper echelons gave him this task, and it is estimated that he also has the psychology of preserving the seeds of excellent qualifications for the military.
The chief knight came in from another passage, followed by three knights, and in the passage came out of about twenty warriors one after another, all draped all over their bodies, some holding their helmets in the crooks of their arms, and some looking at people through the cracks in their helmets.
The warriors stared at the crowd in unison, and the unrevealed evil aura quieted some chaotic voices.
The warriors without masks were unexpectedly young, and one or two of them looked a little familiar to Lin An, and she realized that these people were not ordinary knights and warriors. 「」
Among the mages who had quieted down, some people immediately walked out.
The mages that Lin An had perceived the essence of spiritual power were in it one by one, and now as soon as they stood out, their aura was obviously different from that of other mage apprentices, with a killing aura similar to that of those young martial artists opposite, and their eyes were shining.
Some of them nodded slightly to the warrior on the opposite side, and many of the warriors behind the knight chief also responded, obviously knowing each other.
Lin An remembered that those familiar people had seen him in the transit hall between the first and second floors when he peeked at Andre in the Tower of Babel.
She realized that the young warriors were also participants in the Tower of Babel, but their assembly place didn't seem to be the same place as the mages, and the ones who were now following the knight chief were probably with the second group.
One of the knights behind the chief knight stepped out and whispered a few words to one of the mage participants who stepped forward, then turned back and nodded to the chief knight.
The chief knight didn't say anything, glanced around the mage participants, raised his right hand with iron gloves, and waved, and the mage participant who led the way walked behind him with people and mingled with the young warriors.
The class of ordinary mage apprentices and the participants of the Tower of Babel are not on the same level, there is not much intersection between them, and most of the ordinary apprentices don't even know the identity of this extra group of strange apprentices, because although they have seen the appearance of the Tower of Babel when it is closed, the matter about the Tower of Babel is still a secret in Ma Pei.
So while many ordinary mages saw that the first two batches were clearly selective, no one expressed overt dissatisfaction and dissent.
But the chief knight didn't leave immediately, glanced at the remaining mages, and suddenly raised his hand and pointed at a few people.
"You, you, and a few hooded ones next to you, come with us!"
Lin An's heart skipped a beat when she saw herself being spotted, almost thinking that she had been discovered—if it weren't for the fact that she had been careful all the way, and the possibility of being able to hide her spiritual power perception and successfully peep was extremely small, she would almost think that there was something in the passage and here that had not been perceived by her spiritual power.
In fact, there were no peep spells or traps in the assembly area and the passage just passed.
The knight nodded and ignored them.
Lin An silently stood up with the other four or five people who were pointed, and walked quickly into the crowd behind the knight chief without hesitation, Lin An's reaction seemed to be similar to that of the other people.
And the remaining mage apprentices behind them looked at them with some envy.
After all, they can also see that the list is different from them, and the batch of people with excellent qualifications is naturally much better protected than those with ordinary qualifications.
But in this world, classes have always existed, and people have long been accustomed to the difference in class treatment, or for them, it is abnormal to have no special treatment of class.
Of course, for Lin An, she didn't want to be lucky enough to get this kind of special treatment, and going in batches with this group of participants meant that the danger increased, and the difficulty of leaving the team halfway increased a lot.
Lin An didn't know why she was targeted, she wasn't sure if it was a coincidence, but the knight chief didn't show any special treatment to her, she shouldn't have gotten the news from the female white robe outside the passage, and matched her current identity with Rogier.
"Hopefully not too many people noticed, I'm the last one to come in."
Lin An only hoped to temporarily get away from the fortress, and she didn't expect to be able to hide it for too long.
Even if no one notices that she is the last to enter, there is no trace of her life in the fortress at all, and an unfamiliar face, if she has no intersection with her teammates at all, then it is easy to attract the attention of others.
Especially in the current situation, most people are a little nervous.
