Chapter 1040: Pre-Game Prologue

Theoretically, as a high-level academy, Adric Academy can actually allow up to fifteen students to take the Demon Advancement Exam.

However, due to various considerations, in the end, Adric only sent Theo, Elisa, Alice, and the four second-year class presidents for a total of six people, led by the high-level skeleton mage Franken and the holy silver sword Ji Frey.

"Professor Franken, are we going straight to Hohenheim?"

Dorothy followed behind the group, asking Franconian with some restraint.

As a front-line student of Adric Academy, traveling all day long to save the world or assisting his own teacher and dean to save the world, the class leader group, including Dorothy, has long had experience far beyond most of the active high-level magicians, and the cricket is really not qualified to make them nervous. The reason why Dorothy behaves so reservedly is more because the teacher in charge of leading the group is Francon, who is the director of instruction.

Franconian twisted the screws on his head - this thing crunched lately, and Francony suspected that some of the alchemy parts were rusty - and then replied indifferently: "No, the process of the Demon Jin Examination this time seems to be different from the past, judging from the letter sent by the Qiyao Mage Association, it seems that this time the exam will not be held in Hohenheim, and the specific location seems to be told when the Demon Jin Examination officially begins." ”

"Wait, you only told us when the exam started? If you say that......" Alyssa, who had a sharp mind, immediately realized something.

"That's right, how to get to the test venue within the allotted time should be the first part of the test."

Frey nodded, confirming Alyssa's suspicions.

This time was due to the disappearance of Sivi. Frey had to face pressure from the conservative wing of the pure white church alone, which made the girl look much lighter.

"Well, this actually limits the scope of the exam in a sense. The Dark Alliance of Timothyen in the west, the Eternal Forest Sea in the south, the Orc Hills in the north, and the unknown sea area east of the coastline, it is estimated that only these places can match the difficulty of the Demon Jin Examination. Riddle touched his chin as well, reasoning from the clues for other information.

Although there are still many relics from the Mythological Age in the Eastern Plains that can also be used as examination sites, many of which are under the jurisdiction of the Seven Yao Mage Association, almost all of them have a considerable degree of research value, no matter how rich the Seven Yao Mage Guild is. Nor will they be so defeated as to use the precious relics as the test venue.

"The northern hills and uncharted seas of the Ancient Forest Sea are quite reasonable, the forest elves have weakened a lot of hostility towards humans because of the relationship between the dean, and the orcs on the other side of the hills have also been killed and injured in the war a year ago. In fact, there are some routes with a relatively high safety factor in the uncharted waters...... But Timothy's Dark Alliance shouldn't be used as an exam venue, right? Fat Dun Tannis's bitter summer has finally healed, and his body has returned to its original plumpness again, and he disputes Riddle's speculation: "The dark creatures over there are not easy to get along with, and if they go off the beaten track during the exam, it might lead to a war between those things and humans." The Seven Yao Mage Association is also one of the three major forces of the human race. There will definitely be some consideration for this. What do you think. Kamiyo? ”

"Hmm," said Kamiyu, after a moment's pause, then replied earnestly, "I think the cheese cream gratin for lunch today is too salty." ”

““……””

"Why do people look at me with 'this guy is hopeless'?" Kamiyu burst into tears.

"Although the critical moment is quite reliable, I used to think that the kid Kamiyu was always weird......" Frey sighed with one hand on her cheek.

"Some time ago, I also forcibly sold the props made in my alchemy workshop to my classmates in the academy that had no effect except for pranks...... I said Kamiyu, can you stop adding to the pickets! Dorothy also complained: "Miss Alice also wasted a lot of time because of your brainless actions, lunch is too salty or something...... Miss Alice, if you have any grievances against Camillo, feel free to speak now! ”

Alice, the maid girl named by Dorothy, probably didn't expect the war to burn to her side, and first showed a startled expression. But then he returned to his original gentle and warm appearance: "I don't have any grievances......

"Ahh Even if you really have a grievance, it's hard to say it in front of me, right......" Dorothy crossed her arms around her chest with a clear expression.

"It's not convincing at all when it comes out of your mouth."

Riddle on the side complained calmly.

"No, I really don't have any dissatisfaction with Kamiyu-san......"

The misunderstood Alice could only emphasize it with a wry smile.

"Really! Is there really nothing to complain about! ”

Dorothy looked shocked like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

"Dorothy, I think we're going to have a good talk after that......" The corners of Kamiyu's eyes twitched twice, and he said with a non-smiling smile.

However, it was ignored by Dorothy.

"I said, your little theater should be almost here here, and the topic has gone somewhere."

Frey saw Franconian decorating the sculptures on the side, and could only shout to the noisy students.

The class leader group is indeed more active than the black class, and they are more well-known in the academy (mainly for first-year freshmen), but their actions are too chaotic, and their thinking is even more whimsical, and there is no well-behaved and obedient three girls in the black class......

"Look, it's all Kamiyu's fault, and we've all been scolded by Professor Frey!" Dorothy glared at Kamiyo.

"Blame me?" Kamiyu spread his hands out and looked innocent.

"Don't you blame me!"

If there was an anger system, Dorothy's anger must have exploded to the point of exploding.

"Obviously, everyone is messing around together, but in the end, I am the only one to blame, and I always feel that I can't be relieved......," Kamiyu, who was suppressed by the other party's momentum, said sneeringly.

Seeing that the subject was starting to drift off the rails again, Frey could only cough dryly, trying to intervene in their conversation again.

But at this time, Francon, who had been installing sculptures, suddenly raised his head and said in a voice that did not change his tone: "Here it is." ”

So everyone looked up in the direction of Francon's gaze, only to see that at some point, a crow with a straw hat glided down from the sky, and finally hovered in front of Frey, who looked the most leading in the dress of a knight in civilian clothes.

In its paws, it clutches a piece of parchment.

Frey removed the parchment from the other's paws and opened it to see that it was covered in garbled characters.

"It's the encryption of the ancient magic seal," Alyssa, who had studied runes, immediately recognized the garbled characters: "Dio help me calculate, let's unravel the code." ”

"Understood." Theo, who had been sitting quietly watching the palm-sized book, raised his head, took out his magic wand, and began to connect with the three sages, from where he applied for a certain amount of computing power to help Alyssa calculate and unlock those passwords.

A code that would have required several academic magicians to study for days was deciphered in ten minutes by Edric's unique technical power.

"You're really a crow's mouth." Looking at the translated text, Dorothy couldn't help but say to Tannis.

I saw that the piece of paper read, "The meeting place of the first round of the Demon Jin Examination: The Cliff of the Western Continent (within the Dark Alliance of Timothyen)" (to be continued.) )
