By the time Lancet opened his eyes again, it was already two days later. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the days that followed, his soul was severely damaged in the spirit realm, and he experienced three full days of torment. His body was suffering from bone-crushing pain all the time, a feeling as if his soul was being eaten away.

It wasn't until he gritted his teeth and survived the three days of pain that he was allowed to leave his room.

The mage trial was over once and for all after he and Moriah came out. Their journey to this trial took almost twice as long as those who had succeeded in previous trials.

Lancet only smiled slightly when he heard that when the trial was almost over, when the Marquis of Dragon City tried to find a reason to kill himself and the female apprentice.

It seems that no matter what the second son of the Tagus family is planning, it is inseparable from the sect of the immortal monarch Aukus.

The mages and apprentices of the obelisk showed enough respect for the only "knight of the guard" who returned alive.

Archmage Osmo, who was in charge of the Obelisk Study, was instructed to open Master Elohim's private library to him.

In the name of resuming exercise, Lancet can even blatantly take a mage apprentice to abuse monsters in the area near the obelisk to level up.

But to his surprise, he hadn't seen Moriah since he returned to the Obelisk.

He had asked many people, including Archmage Osmo, but all of them had the same three words - I don't know.

Although Lancet didn't worry much about the safety of his former companion, he always thought of her inadvertently, her eyes shining like starlight.

The day before they could leave the obelisk and step into the free world, Makana's Templars held a simple funeral for their deceased colleague in the meadow outside the tower.

The accompanying priests of the temple chanted hymns of light, may the light of the sun god Pyro guide these fearless souls to their "homeland".

Lenster's ice-wolfskin gloves carry a delicate and valuable ring, the entire ring is made of Aster steel, and it looks like it was the work of a dwarven master. The outer circle of the ring is carved with faint magic lines, which looks like a magical device.

This was the ring that Baron Morpheus had with him, and he had just received it from the Presiding Inquisitor Hastings not long ago.

Originally, Randster wanted to ask the judge to help him and send this thing back to Makana, but he didn't expect to be rejected by the other party.

"Now that you've acceded to Baron Morpheus's request, it's time to complete it yourself."

Thinking of what Hastings said, Lancet also had no room for refutation.

The witcher had no choice but to carefully put the ring back into the lining of the new leather armor, and wait until he had the opportunity to fulfill the noble knight's last wish.

……

Finally, the day came for the Trialists to leave the Obelisk.

Chief Mage Eloin honored Lance in the Grand Ballroom and wore the magic insignia representing the "Obelisk Mage Guardian Knight".

The tower in the center of the diamond-shaped emblem is in the shape of an obelisk, flanked by a sword and a shield, representing the "guardian of the tower".

This int +1 emblem isn't just as simple as it looks. When you show this badge to a nobleman who is part of the Heder Empire and has the title of any count or below, he will give you whatever he owns for free, such as gold, grain, land, soldiers, maids, and even the subjects of the territory.

With this emblem, what most people can't get in their lifetime has become easy to obtain, and many people no longer go out to adventure, but find a place to settle down and live in peace.

This choice is actually quite correct, after all, adventurers go out to die in order to live better.

If it were another era, maybe Lanster would have made that choice. But for now, he could only set off for Heder's royal capital, Star City, to prepare for a possible demonic invasion in the future.

……

The ranks of the trialists have left the obelisk one after another, and this trial can be said to be the most painful in history.

"The Marquis has already left?" The Chief Mage looked into the distance through the window, as if his gaze was about to penetrate the sea of trees and the thousand-year-old Coldridge Mountain Range to the western continent of Rorestan and the dragon city of Grum, where the dragon slayer Andre the Great was located.

"Yes, that Tagus is gone." A strange voice reached Eloin's ears, "But he left a lot of 'garbage' here, do you want me to clean it up?" ”

"No, you don't." Master Eloin's gaze shifted to the figure of the witcher preparing the horses in the meadow and the girl arguing with him, and the solemn expression on his face eased.

"Then there's the Witcher's headache, knowing that the Guardian Knight is not so easy to become."

……

The early summer sun shone lazily on the land after the new rain, and the breeze blew through the faces of everyone in the procession on the way home, bringing a refreshing coolness.

Blue skies, fresh air, and a free life.

Lancet was supposed to enjoy this hard-won happy time, but he had to carry this big "baggage" behind him.

"Why are you here......" Lancet couldn't help but sigh.

"This is the third time you've asked the same question." Moria, who had officially become a mage, replied, her hands gripping the scabbard of the sword on Lancet's back as it was her first time riding.

"Because I really don't understand why you're here." The witcher smiled wryly.

He carried a pendant on top of a stone as dazzling as a ruby, sparkling in the sunlight.

Before leaving the Obelisk, just when he thought he would never see the stubborn girl, Moriath took the blood talisman taken from the secret storage room and handed it to Lancet.

This red gem contains the blood of Moria, who became an official mage, and by casting a special spell, the person who owns this blood charm can easily locate the specific location of the blood's owner.

"Shouldn't this thing be handed over to the messenger who came to pick you up and take you to Chenxing City?" Lancet asked. Each mage trial will have an emissary from Starstar City present, and if an apprentice passes the trial, they can choose to stay in the obelisk or go to Starstar City to become a court mage.

This is the so-called Council of Order and the Council of Freedom, which we mentioned earlier.

The Council of Order is responsible for managing mage apprentices before participating in trials and formal mages who choose to stay in the Tower, while the Council of Freedom is responsible for mages who yearn for freedom and choose to leave the cage.

If they chose the latter, the emissaries would take their blood talismans from the obelisk and bring them to the mage tower in Starstar City to register and register them, and then assign them to different regions of the Heder Empire, where they would oversee and manage the local nobles, among other things.

"We weren't on the original list for this trial, so we don't have an emissary from Starstar City......" Moria's fluent answer sounded like she had been prepared.

"Then you can always go through the teleportation array, there is a ...... between the obelisk and the mage tower of Chenxing City."

"It's broken."

“……”

For a while, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Such a clumsy lie, this female mage dared to say it so generously.

Lancet smiled bitterly in his heart, it seemed that no matter what, before arriving in Chenxing City, he would not be able to shake off this persistent "burden".

……

The procession of Trialists who left the Obelisk consisted of two groups of men, Markana's Templars in the front and scattered adventurers in the back.

In the spirit of enjoying the shade under the big tree, most of the adventurers will follow the Makana knights all the way, so that they can avoid many encounters with monsters and reach Chenxing City safely.

At this time, in the middle of the adventurer's team, a burly middle-aged man rode a horse, whispering to his companions, and their eyes were always locked on the figure of the two people riding a horse in front of the team.

"How's it going, are you sure?" The middle-aged man asked the little man next to him in a low voice.

The halfling man next to him was only barely tall enough to reach the other's chest on horseback, but his skills as a thief were recognized as one of the best in the circle.

"That half-elf is easy to handle," the halfling's gaze swept over the tall, lanky, dark-haired half-elf, and stopped at the female mage.

"That mage is a bit tricky." The thief Sock is confident that he will not suffer when he encounters a melee class, and will even take advantage of a lot. But melee combat with mages is not his forte.

"It doesn't matter. As long as you can contain that half-elf, Ewen and I can easily control that little girl. ”

"When the time comes, the account will be divided into three or seven."

"Four-six. I'm four, you're six. The halfling barried unequivocally.

"Okay." The middle-aged man happily agreed, and did not continue to bargain.

When the time comes, tie the female mage to the hand and hand it to the marquis, how can he care about this few dozen gold coins.

He touched the glass bottle in his clothes, and the confidence in his heart increased a little. This potion was a secret weapon given to him by the mage next to the Marquis, and according to the mage, this small half-bottle potion could make a person with a magical body lose all his mana in an instant.

As long as they wait a little longer, when the team leaves the obelisk mage's surveillance range and enters the trap that they have already set up for their subordinates, those two guys who still don't know anything will become the meal on the plate of their mercenary group.
