Chapter 18: The Test Begins
"What?" Hearing this, Luo Lan's heart suddenly tightened, "What do you mean...... The Knight Academy admissions test will start at noon tomorrow? β
"Well, that's what they all say."
Loraine listened, said no more, turned around and hurried to the cellar. On the last day, he was going to make the final sprint.
β¦β¦
Next.
Loren got up early in the morning, and after briefly solving the problem of food and clothing, he went into meditation again until he adjusted his state to the best. Next, I rushed out of the mansion and went straight to the place where I met with Hilton yesterday.
The Knight Academy admissions test is held once a year, and the town of Shuangqiu has also been held for five years. Luo Lan has lived here for fifteen years, and after so many years, even if he has not participated, he is still relatively familiar with the general process and arrangement.
Before the test officially begins, applicants need to hand in their identification and some necessary information, and when the test officially begins, that is, after noon, all that needs to be done is to queue up for the test and wait for the instructor representatives of each knight academy to come and collect it.
"Grandpa Hilton!" Loren saw the figure standing at the agreed place and accelerated his speed.
"Loraine," Hilton smiled, his face full of folds inscribed with the years exposed, "have you brought everything with you?" β
"Hmm." Lorrain took out a bone token, a piece of papyrus with a message on it, and ten gold coins from his back pocket, and handed them to Hilton.
"Okay, it's all right", Hilton patted Loraine on the head after confirming, "You go to the test site first, there are a lot of instructor representatives from the Knight Academy this time." I'll have to send your information over first. β
With that, an old man and a young man waved goodbye and ran in two diametrically opposite directions.
It's been a whole day since the start of the setup yesterday. The plains below the Subaru Hills are already filled with all kinds of simple tents.
Nine of the tents are the most extravagant, and at the top of the tents are silk cloth with the name and logo of the Knight Academy. Obviously, that is all the knight academies that came to Shuangqiu Town to enroll students this year.
Blocked by the knights of the guards, Loran could only stand on the hill of Subaru and lick his toes, looking at the words on the tents.
"Harvard Knight Academy, Stanford Knight Academy, Oxford Knight Academy, Princeton Knight Academy, ......" Loren looked at some names he had never heard of, and his face couldn't help but darken slightly.
"Huh?" Luo Lan suddenly realized that on the two most remote tents, there were two very eye-catching pieces of silk cloth.
On one of the pieces of silk was a sword that pierced through the head of a demonic beastβthe symbol of the Blood Riding Academy in the Dark Mountains. It was the fourth-ranked knight academy on the Shenwu Continent.
On another piece of silk cloth, there are even more eye-catching words written - Forlia Knight Academy, that is, the second-ranked Knight Academy on the Shenwu Continent.
Undoubtedly, these two academies are the goals of the teenagers who come here to take the test. Admittedly, Loren is the same.
"Yo, isn't this Young Master Luolan?" Suddenly, a familiar voice came.
When Luo Lan heard the prestige, his face was unmoved: "Lander, what trick do you want to play?" β
"Hehe, don't be nervous, I'm just saying hello," Rander winked his eyebrows, and suddenly remembered something, "Eh, why is our great mayor gone?" Having said that, the affairs of the town in the past few days have been handled by the deputy mayor, so ......"
"Don't pretend to me! My father went to the county, and everyone in the town knew about it. Lorain replied coldly, not wanting to say a word more with this scum-like existence.
"That's it......" Lander pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and then laughed evilly, "It's been all these days, why haven't you come back yet?" Today is the big day for his son to decide his life, isn't it...... He couldn't bear to see that shameful scene? β
Luo Lan glanced sideways slightly, and a vicious killing intent flashed in his eyes. Rand unintentionally peeked at it, and he shuddered unconsciously, he never thought that a young man who was only fifteen years old would show such terrifying eyes.
"Heh......" Rander chuckled in a panic and ran away.
β¦β¦
At noon, it's time for testing.
The knights of the guards who were defending the grounds scattered to both sides and withdrew from the road. The next moment, countless boys and girls rushed in.
In the testing venue, the crowd that came to prepare for the test was divided into two groups. One group is from the native country, that is, the Alecle Empire, and the other group is from the territory of the Augustian Empire.
There are two groups of people in the field, and the outside of the field is divided into three parts: the two empires occupy one side, and the instructor representatives of the nine knight academies who have come here to recruit students stand in the center with the best view.
"It's good luck for Shuangqiu Town this year, even the people of the Dark Mountain Blood Rider and the Fledia are here."
"This is not necessarily a matter of luck or unluck, without the strength and talent that is enough to make them shine, everything is empty talk!"
"Tsk, that's not right." While the two men were arguing, a tall, muscular man suddenly stepped forward and interjected, "In the next few years, the sun will not rise from anywhere. β
The two men, who were suddenly interrupted by outsiders, turned around, but did not see half a figure. The two looked at each other in confusion, and suddenly, their backs were cold.
As everyone knows, the sturdy man who interjected did not disappear out of thin air, but quickly moved to the corner of the crowd of August's Empire.
As soon as the sturdy man landed on his feet, the person next to him immediately smiled evilly: "White, you have made another mistake with your old problem." β
"Quiet!" The big knight who was presiding over this knight test roared angrily, and at the same time exuded a strong coercion. In an instant, a needle drop could be heard within 300 meters.
"To reiterate, the test subjects test their fighting strength and strength in turn, and the test results are only regarded as a set of data, as for whether the tester can enter the knight academy for further study, or which knight academy to enter for further study, it completely depends on the willingness of the representatives of the nine knight academy instructors present. During the test, if there is a troublemaker, "a cold light flashed in the eyes of the chief knight of the town guard, "Die!" β
After finishing speaking, the town guard knight gave an order: "Now, start the test!" β
As soon as the words were spoken, the testers from both countries immediately split into four groups, corresponding to four sets of test kits.
Lorain also followed the crowd and found where she should stand. After a while, Luo Lan couldn't help but tilt his head into the distance, as if hoping for something.
"The first one!"
A knight in gray and white armor in front of the group where Luo Lan was standing called out loudly, and the young man at the front of the line pursed his lips, blinked his eyes twice and slowly exhaled a breath, and silently stepped towards the armored knight standing in front of him.
