Chapter 8: Asking Your Mind (5)

Under the guidance of the god of war, the "Foursome of Face Gods" repelled the Shadow Land army, and at the same time they were the advocates of the unification of the five islands, which can be described as a great contribution. But the four of them each bear a tragic fate. The Fengdi family was tragically wiped out in the "Battle of the Mountain", and the orphan son Zi Dye Fengdi would rather give up the guardian position passed down from generation to generation and the former glorious surname to leave the sad land of the god of war Island. Although Light Golden Wing was the first hot spring hall after the unification, he was tormented by visual and auditory hallucinations all his life. Hades Kaye died at the hands of pirates on his way back to Poseidon Island after his victory. After middle age, Morimori Tenmu was tortured by madness, and was finally strangled by his children.

When Jinwu Academy was first founded, there were many students who took it for granted that "trials" were a shortcut to graduation and success. But after a few rounds, the number of death-givers was as high as seven or eight out of ten, and everyone realized to horror that the intensity of the trial set by the head of the Purple Dyeing Academy was by no means something ordinary people could bear. At this time, everyone looked at the many rules of the trial - "Those who die in the trial are called by the gods, unstoppable, and must not be resented." ——All broke out in a cold sweat.

In the 100 years since, the students who have dared to start the trial are not only brave and skilled, but most of them also bear noble bloodlines and glorious surnames, and the reasons for this are self-evident.

Even so, there were only fifteen people who successfully broke through the level recorded in the history of the hospital, and the remaining dozens of people died on the way to their dreams, and their bones were difficult to find. Only the empty emblems left on the golden crow's mouth prove that a group of young people with great ambitions once existed on this island. In addition to this, the emblems that were unclaimed because their master died in the trial had another purpose. On stormy nights, the brass rings tinkle in the night sky, and the hollow and cold sound of the crash can always extinguish the fiery enthusiasm of the teenagers, preventing them from dying on impulse and blind confidence.

The foursome of the gods in 588 were all wiped out in the trial.

After that, for 10 years, not a single student dared to initiate a trial.

Therefore, when the news came that the new entrant Hades King Long Ran had assembled the "strongest quartet" in the year 598 of the Divine Reign and all of them had passed the trial within a year, not only the five islands of Shenlu were boiling, but many young people who thought they were extraordinary were eager to try it again.

However, what followed was the "600-year trial" that shook the five islands of Kamiriku.

Although the trial resulted in the two surviving trial students, the current god of war island town witch Thousand Eyes Temple Wind Blade Camilla and the god of war island commander Nasas Scarlet, the other two died on the Beam Ring Island where the first trial was conducted. One of them was the only son of the then Lord of the Hot Spring Palace, Wind Blade Chongzi.

The death of Sa Yu and the subsequent events—the return of the Wind Blade Shrine Maiden to the Eternal Forest, the great change in the political situation in Goto, the strange death of the Wind Blade Hinawa Sand Python in the "Strongest Four", and the tragic ending of Hades Long Ran fifteen years later, made the term "trial" almost taboo in the Golden Crowin. In the past seventeen years, no one dared to hang the emblem of the academy on the tip of the golden crow's beak.

It's impossible not to know these histories, right?

Ichishin Blue Sea stared at the name on the horseskin that annoyed him, Hades Hikari Sharoka, and couldn't help but think of the red-haired girl's expression when she wrote blood on the horseskin. That's the ecstasy that only unfolds when a wish is granted.

The only heir of the Light Family and the Hades Family, the daughter of Lord Alder Palace, her surname is the guarantee of her noble status, why should she risk her life to start the trial?

He remembered another face, the face of the head of the dyeing institute, which was more calm against the girl's excited face. The head of the courtyard, who once again ascended the winged platform in the midst of the boiling sound, praised the courage of Sara Hunt, affirmed her feat, and said that she had "the strength of her father, Hades King Long Ran". He personally unfurled the horseskin for Sara Hunt, allowing her to complete the ceremony of opening the trial in the presence of all the students and the spectators. After that, as the head of the academy, he reminded the students to pay attention to the rules of the trial, and then announced that the Jinwu Academy had entered a state of preparation for the trial. During the whole process, his tone was smooth and the speed of his speech was moderate, but when he said, "From now on, all the students can challenge with a sword", he clearly saw a cold light in his eyes, which reminded him of the eyes of the beast when it was about to capture its prey.

After the "Night of the Bloody Eye", on the matter of whether to start a war with Shadow Land, the two town hall witches of the main god island and the medicine god island did not support it, and the attitude of the town hall witches of the god of war island was ambiguous, but the attitude of the two town hall witches of Xiu Dye Fengdi and the two town hall witches of Seagod Island and Lingshen Island was well known. Compared with the Forest Guard Hall of Lingshen Island and the Whale Wave Hall of Seagod Island, which are heavily armed, the wait-and-see position of the head of the Dyeing Institute who can only wave his flag and shout in the distance is obviously very embarrassing. On the occasion of such an eventful autumn, there are people in the Golden Crow Courtyard who have reopened the trial, isn't it the first thing to do in the Zhengzhong Dyeing Academy?! Who else on the Goto Islands would want to rekindle people's respect for the status of the Kinwuin and the Blade family with the "trial" of the "trial"?

But the initiator of the trial is the representative of the new students who were selected by the head of the academy in violation of regulations, and at the same time, she is also the daughter of the lord of the alder, and then the daughter of the lord of the hot spring hall hides her surname and joins it, isn't it a strange thing?!

I remembered what my father had said to the Sand Gull three days ago when he was taking refuge on the Blue Island.

"The passengers may only be surprised when the dogs bark and the rats scurry around in the cabin, but the experienced crew knows to be on the alert immediately, because the animals smell the impending storm at sea. While schools of fish leap out of the sea to the amazement of the passengers, the captain knows that he should quickly divert to avoid danger, because there is a high risk of a terrifying tsunami that will bring catastrophe. There are not so many so-called strange things in this world, and I think it's strange just because I don't know it. Therefore, if you encounter something strange that you can't figure out, it is best to stay away, because it is likely to be a sign of impending danger. ”

The aura of danger unleashed by the strange event in front of him was strong enough, and there was no doubt that it was exactly the kind of thing that needed to be avoided immediately as mentioned in his father's warning.
