179. Foreign aid
"Gotta get a flying mount, it's too much trouble to dismantle and dismantle." After stuffing the last box of parts into the space backpack, Lin Wen rubbed his cheeks, which were a little stiff from the cold, and then walked in the direction of Death Canyon.
The place where Lin Wen landed was ten kilometers away from Death Canyon, but fortunately, with stealth skills, the undead creatures all over the Death Scar did not cause much trouble to Lin Wen, so Lin Wen came to the gate of Death Valley very easily.
"Stop! Outsiders, do you have a pass? But as soon as he arrived at the city gate, Lin Wen was stopped by the guards again. Hey, why use "again"?
"Passes? Why this kind of thing? Lin Wen felt inexplicable about this, other cities paid the most entrance fees, but they never asked for a pass.
"It's a special time, and if you don't have a pass, then you can't enter the city. Sorry, please leave. "The guards didn't bother to explain at all, and directly issued the order to evict the guests. And the guards standing next to him also looked at Lin Wen, and at the same time put their hands on the hilt of the sword at their waists, and they looked like they would cut their swords without saying a word.
"Wait!" Lin Wen suddenly remembered that there was indeed a black metal card in the letter sent by Lucia before, and there were some strange words and symbols on it, could it be that this is the so-called pass? So Lin Wen took out the envelope from his backpack and took out the heavy metal card, "Is this the pass you are talking about?" β
"It looks like it, hopefully it's not fake." The guard frowned and took the metal card from Lin Wen's hand, carefully looked at the words on the metal sheet, and then stared at Lin Wen again. "Your name is CarrΓ©, and you're a hunter? Belong to the Extreme Force Mercenary Group? β
"That's right." Lin Wen pointed to the mercenary badge pinned to the breastplate. The white fist symbol is very prominent.
"Alright, you can go in." The guards returned the pass to Lin Wen. Then he called a young guard, "Kumar, take this mercenary to the Black Bone Academy, he is a foreign aid invited by Miss Alice." β
"By the way, man, you have to remember that Death Canyon is not like any other city, so don't cause trouble here." When Lin Wen entered the Death Canyon, the guard said to Lin Wen again.
Compared to the stiff-tempered guard, the young guard named Kumar was much easier to talk to.
"I'm sorry. He's just not very good-tempered. Kumar said to Lin Wen.
"I have a question, why do you need a pass here to enter the city?" Ignoring the guard's attitude, Lin Wen shook the pass in front of Kuma with two fingers.
"We don't usually use this kind of thing here. But only this time of year is needed, because in a few days it will be the assessment competition of the various colleges of Death Canyon, and in order to prevent accidents, we must strengthen the management of outsiders. Kumar explained to Lin Wen.
This is a bit like the college entrance examination on the earth to close the road, not to mention that the various colleges in this world teach not only all kinds of knowledge, but also killing skills, so the restrictions in this regard are more stringent.
"And what did that guy mean by foreign aid?" Lin Wen pointed in the direction of the city gate and asked Kuma.
"Simply put, it's a bodyguard. The academy assessment in Death Canyon is different from other places, in order to maximize the potential of the students, they can kill people at will during the assessment, and the killer will automatically replace the rank of the deceased. A few years ago, an undead mentor suggested that students participating in the assessment could find up to five people to protect themselves. And there is no restriction on the occupation and level of foreign aid, as long as you have the ability, you can find the pope of the Holy Light Church. This makes the assessment more fair and interesting. Kumar explained to Lin Wen.
"Is that fair?" Lin Wen subconsciously wanted to refute. But before he opened his mouth, he closed it. Yes, that's fair. Whether it is from personal strength or communication skills, it can be assessed, as for those who have no strength and no friends...... Sorry, it's a cruel world, failure is failure, there's nothing to say.
"By the way, are you really Miss Alice's foreign help?" Kumar asked Lin Wen.
"yes, what's the problem?"
"That's right, Miss Alice is very talented, and in less than half a year, she has jumped from an ordinary person to a gold-level necromancer."
"Hey, I didn't expect him to advance so quickly." Although he also thought that Alice would soon regain his power, Lin Wen didn't expect that in less than half a year, Alice would soon catch up with his level.
"That's right, but it's because she's advanced so fast that she's in a lot of trouble now." Kumar explained it in detail for Lin Wen.
It turns out that the problem lies in Alice's identity, who was originally filled in as a war orphan who was adopted by the Extreme Force Mercenary Group and then sent to Death Valley to learn necromantic magic. Because Alice is beautiful, kind and talented, she soon became a famous "sister" in the Black Bone Academy, and at the same time, she also attracted the attention of many wealthy nobles, and many aristocratic students even courted Alice in a bright and bright way.
Hahaha, Lin Wen couldn't help it anymore when he heard this. Although Alice is relatively beautiful, she is a real boy, and she is also a boy who is played with by an octopus and is full of loving liquid shadows.
As expected, Alice refused every courtship of these noble cadets without giving the slightest face. Because Alice was "born poor", these annoyed and angry aristocratic students tried in vain to be tough, but they were beaten down by Lucia and others, and the contradiction between the two sides was concluded, and the more troublesome it became, and even two days ago, someone publicly announced that Alice and her foreign aid would be caught in the dungeon as sex slaves in this year's assessment competition.
And there are really a lot of people who respond.
"And her foreign aid? The other three people with Alice who they want too? Lin Wen's voice was very calm.
"That's right, all the three girls who came with her except Alice. And what those people hate the most is the fox girl named Lucia, and twice those noble students were about to catch Alice, but they were forced to be mixed up by the fox girl. Some people even publicly stated that they didn't want Alice, and named Lucia to catch Lucia in the assessment and torture her. "Before you know it, Kumar says a lot of very dangerous things.
"What an appetite." Lin Wen sighed, fortunately, all the ammunition consumed during the undead siege was eliminated before, otherwise it might not be enough after a while. (To be continued.) )
