56. It's been a long time
After lunch, James went to the palace with Levine, thinking that it was also for Li Hao's business, and he didn't come back until the evening, and when he came back, he only said one sentence, 'It's over', and there was no follow-up. Li Hao didn't ask why.
……
Xiao Tairan's death, six days have passed, until Li Hao handed over the letter to James, there has been no movement in this matter, as if it had never happened, and the empire did not do anything to the Xiao family, but just summoned Xiao Wan to the palace, when Xiao Wan came out, it was like losing his soul, and returned to the Xiao family, and said to the people of the Xiao family that the Xiao family may be in decline in the future.
Mick Academy, today is very lively, it is full of people, there are nobles, commoners, slaves, you can see from their faces that they are very excited. The reason is that today is the first day of the competition for James, the former dean of Mick Academy, to select disciples.
In the dean's room, James sat in a chair and listened to Levine's arrangement of the comparative examination. There are also Li Hao, Path, Jessica, and Mas next to him.
Levin said: "Teacher, the number of people who signed up this time is 80,000. ”
"Pounce" Honghaishi just took a sip of water, and after hearing Levin's report, he squirted out. Road:
"Why are there so many people, isn't it going to take a long time?"
Levin said: "Teacher, if you report for a few more days, I think the number will increase, and it will be very simple to break 100,000." ”
After a while, James said: "Then what are you going to do, let's talk about it first, the time can't be too long." ”
Levin said: "Teacher, I've thought about it, I'm going to let everyone go through the endurance screening first." Let them gather at the north gate of Mick City, and then run together, the goal is the 'Tomb of Heroes' not far from the Emperor, the first 100 people who arrive first will enter the next round of competition, and the rest will be eliminated. ”
"Okay, this method is good, just do it according to your idea." James said.
Subsequently. Levin left the room. At this time, Li Hao suddenly said, "Teacher, I want to go and see my brothers." ”
James said, "Go ahead, but remember not to help them." Everything has to be fair. ”
"Yes." After Li Hao agreed, he rushed to the north gate of Mick City.
When he came to the north gate, it was already crowded with people, and at a glance, it was full of people. Secretly said: "There are so many people, where is Aidan and Aidan is, how can I find this?" ”
After a while, Li Hao made a decision to go, and waited on the road first.
After passing through the layers of crowds, I finally walked out of the north gate with difficulty. He sighed and continued to move forward, the same road he had walked the last time he went to the border to deliver supplies. So he quickly found a high ground and stood on high ground. You can see everything below at a glance.
After a while, a large group of people appeared in the direction of the city gate. Looking from afar, I happened to see that the one running in front was actually the third prince.
"This third prince is not simple, he can let go of his identity and compete with a group of civilians." Li Hao commented to the three princes in his own words.
The crowd slowly approached, and because it had just started and the distance had not yet been opened, there were still a lot of people at this time. Fortunately, Li Hao's eyes were sharp, and he saw Aidan's figure at a glance in the crowd, and he was going to go down the mountain. Meet her and accompany her all the way to the finish line, but he hasn't made him happy about finding Aidan in the crowd. I found out that next to her was Madeleine.
Li Hao was suddenly dizzy and said, "The two of them must not be together, otherwise, the matter between me and Aidan and Aidan will be in danger." ”
Li Hao stood on it and watched the two of them leave one after the other, and he himself never moved. Thought: "Could it be that Ruoxi deliberately followed Aidan Aidan and wanted to spy on me." ”
Li Hao's guess was actually not wrong at all. Just now, when all the people who signed up at the north gate of Mick City gathered, Madeleine accidentally found Aidan who was looking around, and saw that she seemed to be looking for someone, so she guessed that she must be looking for Li Hao, so she deliberately followed her, thinking that if she found Li Hao coming to find this woman, she would repair him in front of this woman, and then swear 'sovereignty'.
On the hill, Li Hao finally sighed, jumped off the hill, blended into the crowd, and slowly advanced, following behind the two of them, but he felt that he didn't show up, because he didn't dare.
After two hours, the crowd had become sparse, Li Hao hid from the back and watched Aidan and Madeleine in front of him, fortunately, neither of them had said a word so far, this was the best result among the thousands of possible things that he had thought about.
At this time, I don't know who in the crowd shouted: "It's not good, someone is sneaking up." Everyone was shocked, and they all looked upwards and saw that there were many large and small fireballs in the sky.
"What's going on? Why does someone put magic. Another person in the crowd shouted.
Just when everyone was discussing, Levin's shout sounded in the air: "I'm Levin, and now I will report a matter, just to better select outstanding students, we have deliberately increased the difficulty, and you will have obstacles that we have set up for you along the way." Okay, now that we're done, let's do it. ”
At the north gate of Mick City, Levin took off a amplification magic device, turned to James and said, "Teacher, I have already notified and sent Mick's teacher to set up obstacles on the road." ”
James nodded, smiling with satisfaction. Jessica next to her interjected at this time: "Teacher, you see, I have a good opinion, hehe." "It turns out that Jessica came up with this obstacle.
Maas walked over at this point. Looking at Jessica, she asked, "What's on your back?" He saw a big backpack behind her, and it was very bulging, and he was very curious.
Jessica smiled mysteriously: "Hehe, I'll show you." ”
After finishing speaking, they opened it, and everyone looked down and saw that it was full of magic props, and all of them were very offensive props.
Maas asked suspiciously, "What are you going to do with this?" ”
Jessica smiled proudly: "Of course, it's to help the teacher choose a disciple." After finishing speaking, he put his backpack on his back and said, "Maas, let's go, let's go to the road to put magic and help the teacher set up obstacles." ”
Maas rolled his eyes and nodded violently, "Okay, okay, let's go right away." ”
"Who else are you going?" Jessica asked the people around her again. But no one responded for half a day. Jessica finally said to Maas and Paz, "Then let's go." ”
James watched them leave, and his heart was very breathless. Because when Jessica asked who else was going, he was already moved, and he wanted to go very much, but because of his identity. It's hard to speak, so I can only watch them leave with envy.
On both sides of the road to the Tomb of the Heroes, many people have given up on moving forward because they have all been hit by magic and have to choose to quit.
Li Hao still followed Aidan and Madeleine. Watch them and protect them. At this moment, Abt's voice sounded next to him.
"Li Hao, why are you here, can't you participate?"
Li Hao turned his head and saw Abt looking at him suspiciously.
"I didn't participate, I was just running with everyone." Li Hao replied.
"Running with everyone?" Abt muttered to himself and turned his head back straight ahead, but judging by his face, he didn't believe it at all. Suddenly. His eyes lit up, and he found Madeleine in front of him, and immediately turned his head and said, "Hehe, Li Hao, I know why I'm here." I want to protect my sister-in-law secretly, hehe, we understand. ”
"Sister-in-law?" Li Hao was stunned for a moment, and immediately guessed who he was talking about, and hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and move forward yourself." Otherwise, you're going to fall behind. ”
"Oh, yes." Abt suddenly said, "If you don't remind me, I almost made a mistake." ”
Abt finished speaking. He quickened the pace of progress, and when he ran to Madeleine and Aidan's side, he said something that made Li Hao spurt blood: "Sister-in-law, come on." ”
Both Aidan and Madeleine looked at him. Aidan thought, "Could it be that Li Hao told them about me and him, oops." If you want to say it, don't say a word to me, it will make it difficult for people to invite. ”
Madeleine thought, "Lick your mouth, go back and praise him." ”
Li Hao already had the urge to kill at this time.
Just when Li Hao was furious, he only heard Abt screaming and fell into a magic trap. When Li Hao saw it, he shouted in his heart: "Cool" and when he passed by the trap, Abt shouted loudly: "Li Hao, hurry, hurry, pull me up." ”
Li Hao didn't hear it, and ran directly past him. Abt was speechless and said, "How did I provoke him again?" Damn, it's so unjust. ”
Li Hao continued to move forward, and now there are not only more fireballs flying in the sky on the road, but also various traps on the ground, so the number of people who have withdrawn from the competition on both sides of the road has increased.
But at this moment, something happened that made Li Hao complain, and Aidan actually turned his head and spoke to Madeleine.
"What's your name? I feel like you've been right behind me since just now. Aidan said.
Madeleine was also surprised that she would suddenly turn to speak to her, and after a pause, she hurriedly said, "What's the matter, can't I just follow you, can't I go this way?" ”
Aidan was shocked back by her words, and thought to himself: What's wrong with her, I just said hello, and she came to the fire, and I didn't mess with her.
Of course, Aidan didn't know that Madeleine had already regarded her as a rival in love, and of course she wouldn't have a good face or good words when she met her rival.
Aidan turned his head and ignored Madeleine behind her. But now Madeleine didn't follow again, and she said to Aidan: "Why don't you answer when I ask you, doesn't anyone in your family teach you?" ”
When Aidan heard this, he immediately became angry, and immediately turned around and yelled at her: "How did I provoke you, I haven't seen you before, why do you say that about me." ”
Li Haoyuan looked at the two of them as if they were about to quarrel, and he was very anxious, and he didn't dare to go up to persuade them. But at this time, maybe God saw that he was too pitiful and helped him once.
A large fireball in the sky suddenly flew in the direction of Aidan and Madeleine, interrupting their impending conflict, so the two of them stopped arguing and concentrated on the sudden arrival of the fireball.
Aidan is a water system, Madeleine is an electric system, and in dealing with fireballs, of course, Aidan is good at it. Aidan said to Madeleine, "Get out of the way and let me come." Originally, there was nothing in this sentence, and Aidan didn't mean anything else, but when Madeleine heard it, she felt that she was insulting herself, and mistakenly thought that she meant 'you can't do it, let me come,' so Madeleine was angry and didn't fight anywhere.
"What do you come, or watch me, you go to rest while you go." Madeleine said angrily.
"You're also a water system?" When Aidan saw that she was about to make a move, he thought that she was just like himself.
"No, I'm electrical, what's wrong? Isn't it possible for the electric system to deal with fireballs? ”
Aidan said: "It's too hard to deal with fireballs, so I'd better do it." I am the water system, the nemesis of fire. ”
Aidan had good intentions, but Madeleine just didn't appreciate it, maybe she had too much prejudice against Aidan.
Madeleine defied Aidan's dissuasion. Resolutely unleashed her proud electric magic at the fireball. I heard a "whoosh" sound in the sky, followed by a "bang" and a fireball exploded.
Madeleine was shocked by the aftermath of the explosion and flew more than a meter away, but did not fall. But her face was covered with dust. Black mud.
"Haha......" Aidan immediately burst into laughter when he saw her face.
Madeleine didn't understand what she was laughing at, but she couldn't help but laugh when she found that her white clothes had turned into black ones.
Aidan walked over, took a handkerchief from his body, and handed it to her. Madeleine hesitated, but took her handkerchief. After simply cleaning the ashes from his face, Aidan said to her:
"Hello, my name is Aidan. I don't know why you just talked like that, but the first image you gave me was good, and the first time I saw you, I felt like we had known each other for a long time. ”
Aidan introduced herself very formally, so that Madeleine couldn't get angry at all, although she grew up in the den of thieves, but she still had the qualities she should have.
"My name is Madeleine." Madeleine said mildly this time.
Li Hao, who was in the distance, saw them introduce themselves to each other, and a stone in his heart was finally put down, but another problem came out: they didn't quarrel, which was a good thing. But to be friends is a big bad thing.
After Aidan heard Madeleine introduce herself, her nerves of fear that she would say something unpleasant again, finally relaxed.
Aidan added, "We might as well go together." On the road, they can take care of each other and face danger together. ”
Madeleine thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "Okay, we'll go all the way." ”
After the two of them finished speaking, they continued on their way side by side.
……
In this competition, there are a lot of people, and some of them run fast. There are those who run slowly. But running fast has the advantage of running fast, and slow has the advantage of being slow. People who run fast are often the best people to fall into the trap. Along the way, Aidan and Madeleine saw many people on the road who had fallen into magic traps large and small, and people who were bound by vines on the trees, which was a particularly spectacular scene.
Madeleine gloated and laughed when she saw the appearance of these people. Aidan couldn't laugh, she looked at these people and felt sorry for them.
"Stop, this road is out of traffic, everyone let me go." At this time, more than a dozen people suddenly appeared in front of the road. It can be seen from their clothing that they are all subordinates of a group of nobles. You don't have to think about it to understand why they're here to get in the way.
Madeleine thought to herself: Fuck, dare to stand in my way, don't you know that I am the ancestor who stands in my way?
So, she was ready to start teaching the people in front of her, but Aidan stopped her and said, "One more thing, it's better to have less, fight them here, even if the fight is over, someone will definitely intercept the road ahead." ”
Then Aidan shouted to the people in front of him, "I'm Aidan of the Stephen family, do you want to stop me too?" ”
As soon as the people in front heard that it was Aidan, they immediately replied: "It turned out to be Miss Sima, please, please" Soon, they got out of the way.
Aidan then led Madeleine through them. When Madeleine came, she said angrily: "Isn't this unfair, can the nobles run rampant like this?" ”
Aidan replied, "Do you think I'm angry with you?" But what can we do? Fight with them, and you see another group in front of you that is blocking the way. ”
Madeleine looked around, and sure enough, she saw a dozen more people blocking the way in front of her. scolded: "It's true, the old lady is out today." Don't stop me, I'm going to have to get angry this time. ”
This time, Madeleine ignored Aidan's dissuasion and insisted on teaching the people who stood in front of her to teach a lesson. And he quickly made a move, and a brilliant blue light shot directly at the crowd over there.
When the other party saw that someone suddenly released magic on them, they were all shocked and said, "Brothers, go on, beat that person to death for me." ”
The two sides quickly started fighting, and Aidan saw that she and the other party were fighting, shook his head, and joined the fight. Since both of them are magicians, they suffer from close proximity, so they can only keep releasing magic to prevent them from getting closer. Fortunately, the other party only has an advantage in numbers, and its own strength is very low. Soon half of it fell.
But at this time, a few civilians came from behind, and when they saw someone fighting, they all bypassed. And said something that made Madeleine regret the shot: "Hurry up, let them fight, let's go to the front as soon as possible." ”
When Madeleine heard this, she was very angry and wondered why she would fight them. It's not for everyone, but when they saw it, they didn't even help, they were too selfish and only cared about themselves.
Ten minutes later, Madeleine and Aidan had eliminated the group. Then Madeleine said to Aidan: "If anyone stops me in the future, I will leave it to you, I can see through this group of white-eyed wolves." ”
Aidan nodded, and the two moved on.
Then. Li Hao, who was in the back, cleaned up the person who had just blocked his way with a few punches and kicks. The people next to him were frightened when they saw that he had put down more than a dozen people in just a dozen seconds.
Li Hao shouted at the lowly person: "I'm in a bad mood, and you just want to vent my anger." It's much more comfortable now. "With that, move on.
After what happened just now, Madeleine stopped pointing fingers at those who stood in her way, and left them all to Aidan to deal with, and it was easy to pass. But at this time, danger was slowly approaching them in their path.
"Elder Martin, this has passed so many people. Why hasn't Aidan shown up yet, and could it be that she didn't participate in this competition? Wen Fengyin stood on a small hill, looked at the people below and asked Martin Criss next to him.
Martin Chris replied angrily: "You still want to wait for how to make up for it, so important letters are entrusted to you for safekeeping." You've lost it. ”
After hearing this, he didn't dare to speak, lowered his head, and thought to himself: That night, I was obviously put away, why did I disappear without knowing it.
"Eldest sister, look. There are two women over there, do you think it's Aidan or not? Wen Fengyu's younger brother saw two women below at this time, and immediately asked.
Wen Fengyu immediately returned to his senses and stared at the people below: "Yes, one of the women below is Aidan." ”
Martin Chris immediately continued: "Okay, you go down and guide her to the side, I'll wait for you there, remember, get things done, or when I go back, I want to help you say good things, but I can't do it." ”
Wen Fengyu nodded, and walked down with her brother.
Down the hill, Aidan and Madeleine were talking and laughing, and now the relationship between the two of them seemed to have become very good, and people who didn't know saw them like this, they thought they must be sisters.
"Ruoxi, I just wanted to ask a question, that is, why were you so fierce to me when I said the first thing to you?" Aidan remembered her unkind answer to herself.
When Madeleine heard this, she fell into deep thought, and after half a sound, she turned her head to Aidan and asked lightly, "I want to ask you something." ”
Seeing that her tone was very serious, Aidan replied solemnly, "Tell me if you have anything." ”
"I want to ask if you're with a guy named ......"
Just as Madeleine was about to ask Li Hao, a woman's voice came from directly in front of her, interrupting her, "Miss Aidan, we haven't seen each other for a long time, I don't know if you still remember me." "The one who spoke was the one who heard the wind.
Ai Dan was startled, and immediately looked ahead, just when he saw a familiar figure, his face immediately became solemn, and he said coldly: "It's you, I didn't expect you to be still Mick, aren't you afraid of being caught?" ”
Aidan had heard from her teacher about the conspiracy in the academy and knew that Wen Fengyu was one of them. So when she saw that the person in front of her was the one who heard the wind, she raised all her vigilance.
"Hehe, thank you, Miss Aidan still remembers me." Wen Feng sneered.
Aidan saw her laughing, but he couldn't laugh at all, and asked her, "I think you should be looking for me when you appear here, but I wondered, why did you come to me, I am not an imperial official, and I have no secrets." ”
"Giggles" Wen Fengyu smiled, and then said: "You still have an opinion about me, although I am the opposite of Mick, but I have never done anything to be sorry for your Miss Aidan." (To be continued.) )
