Inside a common lounge at a national college.

"Aurora, you're back."

A middle-aged man in a blue robe stood by the window, his figure was straight and tall, his robe was not buttoned up, revealing the black suit inside, and the beards on both sides of his face were shaved clean.

However, Aya saw the blood stains on Sara's cuffs at a glance, and noticed the other party's slightly disordered aura, her expression suddenly changed, and she said anxiously:

"Mr. Sarah, are you injured?"

Sara smiled and touched the cross hanging from her chest, and replied:

"It's nothing, it's just that a madman came to trouble me after your speech just now, and he cut me down in two clicks, but fortunately, he has been taken away, and the people from the National Academy have promised that he will not come to harass you in the future."

"Trouble-seeking madman? Harassing me? ...... that can hurt you, Mr. Sarah, You can't be Mr. Wilde, are you? ”

Aya's expression was a little strange.

"yes, he seems to have to ask you about the whereabouts of Reinhardt's Juggernaut."

Sara smiled bitterly, and then added,

"Don't mention him, I just came to you because I have an urgent matter to inform you."

Aya's face was straight: "Please speak." ”

Sara picked up the papers on the table, handed them to Aya, and said:

"It's about the Olari Labyrinth, the details have been written here, see for yourself."

Aya took the document and read it carefully.

"Anomaly in the depths of the fifth layer of the Great Labyrinth...... The secret realm reopened after 400 years......"

"The fountain of rebirth that elevates talents, refines the body, and repairs everything...... Only valid below the third order? ”

“……”

The document describes everything in detail, to the effect that a labyrinth secret realm that originally belonged to the Sanctuary four hundred years ago suddenly disappeared, and that secret realm suddenly reopened for unknown reasons recently.

The forces within the Templar are roughly divided into three parties, and this so-called Fountain of Rebellion belongs to the side behind Aya.

In order to let Aya gain a firm foothold in the royal capital, they planned to take advantage of this opportunity to invite the heirs of the major neutral aristocratic forces in the royal capital to go with them to improve Aya's success rate in competing for the position of apostle.

However, Aya didn't care about these at all, and her attention was drawn to the words "fix everything".

"The effect that has been accumulated for more than 400 years may be better than that of the Sage's Protection......

As she pondered this, Sara spoke again:

"Due to time issues, the trip to the fifth floor is scheduled for two weeks later."

"The National College will organize the admission of Olali with excellent admission results the day after tomorrow, as a warm-up in two weeks, you can also go with them to get used to the environment of the big maze in advance."

"The news of the Fountain of Reverse Life has been sent to those nine nobles, and they have also accepted our invitation, and after discussion, we have decided to let you personally lead the team this time, and only send two knights from the early stage of the third order to escort them."

Aya asked hesitantly:

"I heard that third-order monsters seem to appear frequently on the fifth layer, if you're unlucky, maybe even transcendental-level monsters will be encountered, if only I lead the team, will others be in danger?"

Sara smiled and said:

"Another purpose this time is to let them see your true strength, so you don't have to keep your hands like you did with Faemon, if there is really any danger, we allow you to call that star spirit beast!"

The indigo eyes were looking directly at Aya, and the peaceful smile was rendered extraordinarily thick in the sunlight.

Aya was silent for a while, then suddenly raised her head and asked Sara:

"Mr. Sarah, do you know where it came from?"

She pointed to her left breast, her sad expression contrasting sharply with Sarah's smile.

Sara was stunned for a moment, put away her smile and sighed, and said:

"It has something to do with the poor boy, I probably know something, is there something going on?"

Aya nodded with a gloomy gaze, but there was joy in her voice, and she closed her eyes and said softly:

"Is it him...... I see him again. ”

Sara frowned and asked:

"See? Where is it? The royal capital? ”

“…… Right here. ”

After a few seconds of silence, Aya reopened her eyes, and there was a special light in her eyes,

"Since you know about him, I'll be straight to the point."

"I'm going to make it up to him, I'm going to involve him in the maze in two weeks' time, and the healing effects of that fountain of rebirth might be useful to him."

Although Aya's tone was flat and soft, anyone could feel the fortitude and determination contained in it!

After all, he is a middle-aged man with countless experiences, and after hearing Aya's words, Sara's expression did not change much, but she said truthfully:

"So, what are you going to do?"

"There are only ten places in the Divine Spring, and now it's full, how are you going to put him in it?"

Aya thought for a moment and said:

"I remember you, Mr. Sarah, mentioned to me that the Anas family, although they are superficially related to our faction, have actually completely fallen to our side."

“…… That's right. Sara nodded, not denying it.

Aya continued:

"In the document just now, one of the nobles invited was the Anas family...... I remember his name was Crow, so I'd like to ask him to take a break this time. ”

"As a way to make amends, I'm willing to give him the next opportunity to use the Bright Fluorescent Lantern to help him hit the third order, presumably he won't refuse this condition."

Sara frowned and said:

"Anas should be easy to talk to, but the other Templars ......"

"Don't worry about that."

Aya said with a smile,

"All you need to do is let Eno disguise herself as Crow's, and then set off from the Anas family, and there is no need for the deacons and elders to worry about such trivial matters."

Sara looked at Aya several times before she let out a long sigh helplessly and said:

"This is not like you at all, where is that believer who insists on fairness and justice, who is strict with himself?"

"The most regrettable thing in life is to easily give up what should not be given up, and stubbornly insist on what should not be insisted on."

"I'm not going to ask you to change your mind, but I want you to see what you really want."

Sarah's admonition made Aya put away her smile as she quietly looked out the window and whispered.

"Do you really want it......"

********

The westernmost part of Silvashire, at the end of the Great River Jahn.

The sun squandered its own heat, and the sea breeze whipped up moisture and blew along the shore.

Alice Fell sat on a rock, quietly combing Lily's hair while she scrutinized the hill of letters in front of her.

“…… Hey? Suddenly, a special name came into her sight.

"What's wrong? Alice Fell asked nonchalantly.

“……”

Lily hesitated, but replied truthfully:

"Your Highness, there is information about that white hair."

“…… White hair? ”

Alice Phil was stunned for a moment, and only reacted after seeing Lily's unhappy expression,

"You're talking about that boy, what's wrong with Ino?"

Seeing the undisguised surprise on Alice Fair's face, Lily pouted and muttered a few words before she said:

"That white hair went to the royal capital and entered the national academy with record-breaking results in all three tests."

"National College......

Alice Fell put down the comb, nodded her chin and thought for a while, and said,

"I don't know the situation at the National Academy, but I remember that Wilde was there, so let him take care of Eno more."

"Wilde?" Lily gave a strange expression.

"Any questions?"

"Actually......"

Lily handed the letter to Alice Field,

"Your Highness, see for yourself."

Alice Phil took the letter and glanced curiously,

"Serious injury test? Fight with Wang Del? ”

There were a few wretches of worry on her face, and although she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she could still imagine the tragic situation through the description.

Recalling the appearance of the young man who had fallen into his arms not long ago after trying his best, Alice Fell shook her head with a wry smile and said:

"Seems like he's that kind of person."

Lily didn't know the meaning of Alice Fair's words, and thought that her highness was talking about Wilde.

"But it's really surprising to say that white hair, it can actually make Wilde's killer recognize him, and it's a kind of ability to have hard bones."

Alice Phil touched Lily's head and said with a smile:

"It seems that he and Wilde's personality are very compatible, so I won't interfere more, just tell Wilde and let him help the boy in his own way."

"Your Highness, your partiality is too obvious."

*******

The northwestern port of the Empire, where the Freya Orchestra was stationed.

Also on the shore, a young girl with the same appearance as Alice Phil sat quietly on the beach, listening to her subordinates' reports word for word.

When the beautiful subordinate finished speaking, Hellerys gently picked up a handful of fine sand, held it in the palm of her hand and slowly pondered it, and asked in an emotionless voice:

"The exact origin is unknown? Secrecy Level S? Is this what you've been doing recently? ”

The subordinate's expression remained respectful as before, and said:

"Your Highness Helyres, I have no intention of shirking my responsibility, but we really have no way of knowing about Aurora's past, and this person seems to have appeared out of nowhere overnight."

Hallerys narrowed her eyes and looked at the coastline in the distance:

"Silva's gang is not small, and they will choose to let Aurora appear in a high-profile manner at this time, they should be full of confidence in her."

She stretched her waist very gracelessly, this action made the figure that was originally shrouded by the white dress show off to the fullest, and the curves were unexpectedly a little proud,

"As soon as she appeared, she left in embarrassment, bearing all kinds of dazzling halos and praises, but unfortunately it was the opposite of me, otherwise if she was brought over, she would definitely become a strong pillar of Alcaya...... By the way, what are some of her recent movements? ”

The subordinate immediately replied:

"According to the secret information received, the people behind her have begun to win over the neutral nobles of the royal capital, and those nobles have also made a rather ambiguous response, intending to let their heirs go to a secret place in the Great Labyrinth with Aurora."

"Here is the list of those nobles who have been co-opted, and the heirs they intend to send."

Helleise took the cardboard, and when she saw a certain surname, her face immediately showed a hint of playfulness:

"Didn't the Anas family promise me absolute neutrality many times, wouldn't it be too much to make such a move now?"

Suddenly, she took out a golden quill from her storage ring, which was also dipped in red ink.

"Aurora is my competitor, she is understandable to do this, but the Anas family has made a pact with me, although it is only verbal, but I hate the practice of breaking trust!"

"Let's test them a little bit this time, let them bleed a little bit in the maze, and see what choice they make next."

A chill glinted in Helleris's eyes, and she drew a crimson cross on the list of people involved in exploring the labyrinth!

The name that was crossed out was impressive: Crowe Anas!

******

Although the freshmen were divided into different classes according to their strength and talent, they were not too constrained in their studies.

Teachers usually teach in public, and there are no absolute restrictions, even a warrior with a muscular brain can listen to the teachings of alchemy masters.

Of course, the premise is that you must ensure that you are sure enough to pass the special trial at the end of the semester, otherwise you will have to wait for the roll to go home.

Don't think that the test will be easy, even though the people who are qualified to be freshmen are the best among their peers, there are still a lot of people who have been dropped out of school because they didn't work hard.

The teacher solemnly explained various matters to Class A, and Yu stood at the front of the line, although her face looked like she was listening attentively, but her heart kept recalling the disaster five years ago.

The raging fires at the Winter Veil Festival, the flying beasts roaring in the Silva sky, the white-haired teenagers unconscious in pools of blood......

'Aurora......!! ’

"Now, I would like to announce the names of the students who will leave for the maze the day after tomorrow, and only those who rank in the top 20 in the overall score of the entrance test will be eligible for this qualification." This sentence of the teaching pulls Yuu back from his memories.

"Teacher, since there is a quota limit, are you going to a special area in the maze this time?" A handsome male cadet asked.

"Be quiet! The first place, Camille. ”

"Second ......"

Not surprisingly, Yu's name was also read, and it was in fourth place.

After the last name was read, he stopped reading, looked up at the new students around him, and said:

"This year's situation is a bit special, so the slots will change and there will be two extra people joining."

When he heard the two extra names, Yuu's face changed again.

'How so?' ’
