Chapter 32: Determination

Standing absentmindedly in the examination room, Liu Li was still thinking about last night's practice of the black hole spell. There is no set standard for the final assessment of the Academy of Magic, it is just a simple process for students to test their learning. There is no such thing as "failing the course" here, even if you are just a first-order spellcaster, you can go to the second-order class, but if you are not promoted to the second-order, you will never be a member of the second-order class. Of course, passing the assessment is not without a little benefit, at least you can get the academy credits, and the role of the credits is to exchange them for some spell-casting materials or magic storage equipment that you need from the academy. Of course, there are also ratings and rankings in the assessment, and the tutors will be more patient with the top-ranked students, but these are not important to Liu Li, after all...... Well, there's someone up there.

"Liu Li, aren't you nervous at all?" Blazer's voice was trembling as he spoke, and Liu Li didn't know why he was so nervous. To be honest, from time to time in the middle of the night, he touched Landolia's basement and was ravaged by a black hole, and his strength was definitely in the forefront of his grade, and his usual practice courses also proved that his strength far exceeded that of other students.

"Relax, aren't you doing very well in your usual training sessions? You see, Martin and Il aren't like you. Liu Li replied helplessly.

"Can training be the same as exams?" Blazer muttered quietly, "Besides, this ranking can affect my happy life in the future." ”

Hearing this, Liu Li was also speechless for a while. Well, I've heard before that Blazer vowed to have a good performance in the assessment in order to pursue a beautiful woman in the same grade, but I didn't expect this rumor to be true.

"First order, third class, Blazer. ”

Well, it's finally his turn, at least a little clearer in his ears. He gently patted Blazer's shoulder as a sign of encouragement, "Go ahead, don't be nervous, it's okay with your strength." Think of the ravages suffered in the dark basement of those nights. ”

"How do you know?" Blazer was surprised that his secret was revealed by Liu Li, but now he didn't have time to wait for Liu Li's answer, the examiner had already called his name, but the tension in his heart was also relieved a lot by surprise.

"First order, third class, Liu Li. Liu Li, who was immersed in thoughts, didn't notice that the examiner was calling his name at all, and was still immersed in the recollection of last night's practice, until Martin next to him pushed his shoulder for the third time before he reacted, and the examiner's face in the trial ground was as black as the bottom of a pot.

A black hole appeared out of thin air on the training ground, and it was naturally Liu Li who came out of it. Since the examiner has called him more than once, of course Liu Li is how to save time and how to come. Why go where he could teleport, he didn't even realize how similar this thought was to Landoria.

As an examiner, the second-order mage is actually just a senior student of the academy, and the purpose of the part-time examiner here is just to earn a little more credits. As a second-order mage majoring in black elements, he was also one of the few people who were fortunate enough to be bewitched by rumors, so he naturally remembered the black hole that appeared in front of him and often appeared in nightmares. This is also the reason why Liu Li, who came out of the black hole, saw that the examiner's face in front of him, which was as black as the bottom of the pot, became pale.

"That, Liu Li, right, will I count you directly as passing the assessment?" Looking at the pale senior in front of him, Liu Li suddenly felt in his heart, sure enough, there were many victims of the rumors, Tina is really ...... Well done.

You must know that the final assessment of the academy takes the form of actual combat, although the second-order spellcaster is more than twice as strong as the first-order in terms of spiritual power and element mobilization, and the power of the spells mastered is much more than that, but this is not enough to form a rank suppression, not to mention that Liu Li is now a dual cultivation of law and martial arts, and the power skills of martial arts are enough to erase the gap in rank. Looking at the current appearance of this senior, you can know what a big psychological shadow he left in the basement of Landolia Villa, and it is difficult to say whether he can exert half of his strength. Fighting against Liu Li under the advantages of the other, he has no confidence in victory. If he was defeated in the hands of a junior who was one order lower than himself in this public, it would be a shame.

"Uh...... All right. Seeing this situation, Liu Li was also speechless for a while, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "It seems that I still underestimate the deterrent power of Teacher Landuo." In this way, Liu Li's assessment passed in such a hurry, and he only cast one spell from beginning to end, and he was still used to enter the field.

After finishing the assessment, Liu Li returned to his place and found that the assessment of Martin and Ilr had begun, and the assessment venue of the two of them was different from himself and Blazer, after all, Martin majored in red spells, and Il's major element was green, so naturally it was impossible for the examiner who majored in black elements to conduct the assessment.

Liu Li didn't stay long, seeing that his two roommates left the academy trial ground after the assessment was over, and returned to Landolia's villa, he still remembered what Landoria had said before, and he was also curious about the tasks she had never mentioned these days.

"Teacher Landuo, now that the assessment is over, you should tell me what the task I said before is. Liu Li, who returned to the villa, couldn't wait to find Landolia, and did not make any comments on the vice dean's behavior in his villa on the important day of the student assessment. No way, get used to it, but if she appeared in the proving ground, it was hard to say how many people would play abnormally. Of course, it must be the examiner who performs abnormally, and it has nothing to do with the students.

"Do you know Sin City?" Before recounting the mission, Landolia first asked Liu Li this question. However, she didn't expect Liu Li's answer, and she could tell from his expression that he hadn't heard of that place at all. "There is a swampy area in the eastern part of the empire, and in that swamp there is a city of exiled sinners, and that is the goal of your trip. ”

Looking east from the Eleno Academy of Magic, there is an endless plain, and at the end of the plain, under the clouds, there is a huge swampy area. It is said that the swamp was formed about five hundred years ago, at the end of the war between the Kronos Empire and the Huangyu Empire in the east, during a thrilling spell battle between two sixth-order high-level spellcasters. There is an aura of corruption that fills it, and any creature that enters it will constantly suffer from the erosion of the black element. Some fragile creatures have died out, but more often than not, they are dangerous species that have adapted to that environment and have been altered by the environment. They continued to attack the people who entered it, turning it into a forbidden area for humans for a hundred years, and the swamp that straddled the border became a natural barrier between the two empires.

And the city of sin, as its name suggests, was built by sinners. In this world, it is permissible to change the word "man" in the previous sentence to "intelligent beings", but it doesn't matter. Whether you are a loser in a power struggle or someone who hurts others for your own selfish desires, you can be called a sinner. And for those whose crimes are not sufficient to constitute the death penalty, and whose strength is not worthy of the Empire's "special" detention of them, these people will naturally be exiled to a place far away from the population, and the penal place chosen by the two empires for such people is the swampy area formed by the war.

The war between the two empires ended 400 years ago, and the history of diplomatic relations between the two empires for more than 300 years has long since healed the wounds caused by the war. There are no more sinners who have been exiled to the swamp for 300 years, and the city of sin was built by sinners in such an environment.

"Your mission this time is to go there and help me find someone. Landolia's tone suddenly lowered, "Find him, bring him back, or...... So that he will never be able to come back. ”

Hearing Landolia's words, Liu Li's heart tightened. He knew what Landolia meant, and he knew what kind of world it was. Liu Li had thought countless times that if his opponent was an intelligent creature like himself, he would be able to end the other party's life, he had prepared, but at this moment he finally understood that his preparation was not sufficient.

"This mission, as long as you are careful, there should be no danger, after all, in that place in Sin City, people who are really capable will not be exiled there. Landolia's tone was still low, which made Liu Li feel an inexplicable fear in his heart, "There are very few warriors there, most of them are just ordinary people, compared to humans, the environment there is the real test in this mission." ”

It's not that Landolia doesn't know the fear in Liu Li's heart, but she can only turn a blind eye to it. This hurdle can not be easily overcome through the comfort of others, you must know that war will happen sooner or later, if Liu Li really wants to go to the battlefield with her, what she will face will definitely be a fight of the same kind.

Liu Li, who returned to his room, was still thinking about Landolia's words, he didn't know if he could strengthen his heart when he really faced the moment when he had to make a choice, but this mission, he had to complete it. He also has his own goals, he wants to return to Earth, on the way to strength, fighting is inevitable, and he can't always rely on his teacher. Besides, if you can't even complete this mission, then it will be a joke to go to the battlefield with Wells and Landolia in the future...... Liu Li, who was immersed in various thoughts, gradually fell into a deep sleep.

"Teacher Landuo, I will definitely complete the task. Early the next morning, after seeing Landolia, Liu Li asked, "Then when do I need to leave?" ”

Looking at the flames burning in Liu Li's eyes, Landolia knew that her student was ready. Although she doesn't know what kind of decision he will make when that moment comes, she believes that Liu Li will definitely give herself a satisfactory answer.

"Get ready today and leave early tomorrow morning. A smile flashed in Landolia's eyes, and she was quite satisfied with Liu Li's answer.
