When I came out of the Internet café, it was already more than six o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was a little dark.

Lin Sheng ate some roadside stalls, then flagged down a taxi and went straight home.

When I returned home, my father was not there, only my mother Gu Wanqiu was sitting in the kitchen peeling potatoes.

Lin Sheng and her quickly worked together, made two dishes, and the mother and son had a meal around the table.

Gu Wanqiu asked him about going out to play today, and Lin Sheng naturally made up a bunch of words with a natural face, and easily coped with the past.

As for him, he didn't want his family to know that he was out there joining the sword club.

Just like his reluctance to join Sears' so-called company. This is another complex circle.

And he didn't know anything about Sears.

What he does, how he behaves, what his background is, whether he is good or bad, nothing is clear. Just for the sake of money, join each other?

This is certainly unrealistic and needs to be carefully considered.

After eating and washing the dishes, Lin Sheng used the excuse of reviewing his homework, quickly washed up and returned to his bedroom.

After doing two sets of review questions, he felt a little sleepy. Put on your jacket and change into the sneakers you have prepared.

Kimono lies on the edge of the bed and rests with her eyes closed.

.........

.........

The Vallen Temple.

Inside the off-white sanctuary.

Lin Sheng slowly sat up from the middle of the row of chairs, and he skillfully scanned the surrounding situation.

The temple was the same as the last time he left.

There was a reassuring atmosphere in the air, and the doors and windows were intact and tightly closed.

Lin Sheng got up from the row of chairs and checked his body.

He wears a black tracksuit and black sneakers that he wore before going to bed, and his weapon leans against the edge of his chair, the elite rotten sword.

Lifting his sword, he stepped out of the row of chairs and did not look at the prayer stand in the middle. Instead, he walked straight to a small door directly behind the temple.

He had explored the entire Vallen Sanctuary and the rest of the world, leaving only the storage room directly behind him.

The temple has a main hall, a secondary hall, a clergy bedroom, a kitchen and a toilet.

He had searched all these places, and there was nothing but some daily necessities.

Now I don't see the only storage room that remains.

Clenching the hilt of the sword, Lin Sheng quickly walked to the storage room and reached out to grasp the somewhat cold copper handle.

Pull it out.

Chirping....

With a slight grinding sound, the gray-white wooden door was slowly pulled open.

Inside is a small space of about one square meter.

There wasn't much to store, just a carved stone pillar more than a meter high like a stone monument.

The stone pillar is grayish-white, and the top is carved with a crescent moon next to three stars.

Below it appears to be a scale-like callout.

At the bottom is engraved a line of words.

Lin Sheng leaned over to take a closer look.

'Test Tower: A stone tower for class ratings, measured by Templars, warriors, and monks. ’

"Test Tower??" Lin Sheng was stunned, this was the first time he had seen this.

He has been in many memory fragments, and he has heard about who and who is a warrior, but no one mentions how these levels are evaluated.

Or maybe all he absorbed was memory fragments, and he didn't mention this information.

But right now, it seems that the small stone tower in front of me is related to this professional level assessment.

He walked over to the stone tower and took a closer look at the thing.

In addition to the surface patterns and scales, the stone tower only has two protruding stick-like handles on the left and right.

The edge of the handle is engraved with a symbol for clenching.

Lin Sheng stretched out his hand and held the two handles with both hands.

Inexplicably, he seemed to feel that there was an extremely subtle trace of warmth, which drilled into his palm from the handle of the stone tower, and then went down his arm, and quickly circled in his body.

The warm current quickly returned to the stone tower and disappeared.

Woo....

A faint tremor sounded.

Under Lin Sheng's somewhat surprised gaze, the scale on the front of the stone pagoda slowly lit up with a faint white light.

The entire stone tower was like a thermometer, and from the bottom, a finger-thick white line rose.

The white line slowly stopped at the position where the second level was marked, and then stopped.

"Level 2??" Lin Sheng's heart moved, and he immediately let go of the handle.

The white line suddenly dimmed as he let go, and soon disappeared and faded.

"Does this mean that I am now a second-level warrior?" Lin Sheng guessed.

He gripped the handle again.

Soon the white line resurfaced and rose to the second position, but the previous warm current did not appear again.

"Interesting... I don't know what standard this thing is tested for. ”

He let go of the handle and let the white lines disappear.

After rummaging in the storage room, Lin Sheng didn't see anything except this test tower.

Armed with his rotting sword, he returned to the temple gates.

This time, he was no longer prepared to stay in this safe zone.

The temple was devoid of any monsters or dangers, and had been used by him as a safe zone for rest and recovery.

'It's a good place, but I didn't come to this dream to stay in a safe zone....'

Lin Sheng gently opened the door of the main hall.

The door parted silently, and a cold and biting cold wind poured in.

Lin Sheng shuddered, but still carried his sword and walked out of the hall step by step.

Standing at the gate of the temple, he could see the city of Kuroba Castle with street lights lit up outside.

Empty streets, decaying and dilapidated buildings.

Towering and sharp black towers in the distance, huge walls that surround it.

"Here, it's like a huge cage...."Lin Sheng muttered, his eyes began to look for the next direction to prepare to move forward.

Carrying his sword, he slowly walked to the iron fence of the courtyard, and his eyes fell on a mansion opposite the temple.

It was a fish-shaped mansion that looked like a mansion.

The exterior of the gray-white building is carved with a large number of reliefs resembling angel babies, and in some places there are delicate patterns like wisteria flowers.

Compared with other surrounding buildings, the entire mansion is much more intact, and even the outer courtyard walls are extremely complete and have no broken gaps.

The mansion has three floors, and the doors and windows on each floor are tightly closed.

Looking from Lin Sheng's position, you can see that in the middle of the opposite courtyard, there is a dry black fountain pool, and in front of the fountain, there is a white stone tablet.

The moonlight was soft, and it was faintly visible what words were engraved on the stone tablet.

He thought about it for a moment and decided to go to the opposite mansion to have a look.

It's not just that the mansion opposite is well preserved, and maybe you can find some good things. More crucially, the mansion was probably relatively safe as it was closest to the temple.

And on the other hand, the mansion was much shorter than the other buildings around it. In some details, it is not as exquisite and luxurious as the rest of the surrounding buildings.

It is clear that the owner of the mansion does not have a high status.

In such a dangerous place, the status is not high, which means that the danger is not very high.

Chirping....

Lin Sheng gently opened the iron fence door and walked out slowly.

As soon as he left the envelope of the temple ring above his head, he felt a chill all over his body.

A faint sense of threat welled up in my heart.

Lin Sheng clenched the black sword, looked left and right, and quickly rushed towards the iron gate of the opposite mansion.

In a few arrow steps, he crossed the street more than ten meters wide and soon came to the iron gate.

Reaching out and pulling gently, the iron door of the mansion was slowly opened.
