Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Wild Giant
A month later.
A blizzard descended on the Ridge Winter Province, and goose-feather snowflakes fell for a week, so much so that the entire Scarlet Castle was completely covered in snow, and waist-deep snow appeared on the ground.
In the morning, the snow stopped, and the sky finally cleared, and the servants and midshipmen in the castle got up early to shovel the snow, and the streets were filled with the sound of heavy breathing and shoveling snow from the labor.
in the room.
Luo Lan sat quietly in front of the window, it snowed all night, he didn't close the window all night, and he sat on the windowsill, so that his hair and shoulders were already covered with snow, but the snow fell on Luo Lan's body and did not melt, and if you looked closely, you could find that Luo Lan's body surface appeared with a wisp of frost elemental power that could barely be seen with the naked eye.
"It should ...... Almost. β
Luo Lan glanced at the servants who were shoveling snow outside, then turned over and jumped off the windowsill and fell into the room, and then suddenly shook his arms, and at the same time as the snow was shaken apart by a "peng", wisps of frost elemental power gathered from all directions, and then after a sonorous sound, a frost shield condensed around Luo Lan's body, followed by the second and third, a total of four frost shields appeared at the same time, and each one was a finger long thickness, full of spirituality, and continued to rotate with Luo Lan's breathing and telekinesis. Expansion and contraction.
It's finally done!
The Frost Shield, comprehending the power of the frost element in the severe cold of more than a month, coupled with the mystery of the rules taught by the seawood instructor, perhaps Luo Lan is the first student in the class to condense four shields, this understanding, looking at the entire blood cage, is almost second to none, but unfortunately, these frost element power comes from the air, not from Luo Lan's body, so in terms of continuity and strength, it is far from being comparable to the genius students of Rodney and Caroline.
The frost shields swirled and were incomparably gorgeous, and just as Loren felt the power unsustainable, the four frost shields rustled away, turning into wisps of ice and falling to the ground, melting in the warm room in the blink of an eye.
At this time, there was a warning from Instructor Mikaela outside: "Everyone get up, breakfast, ready for morning training!"
Suddenly, there was a noisy sound in the students' rooms, and everyone quickly got up, washed, and then went to the dining room, and after a full meal, they carried their weapons to the training ground.
......
The snow at the training ground has been shoveled off and piled up in the corners, and the snow is like a mountain.
Instructor Haimu wore a cold-looking armor, held a broadsword in his hand, spewed hot air in his mouth, and glanced at his students coldly with a pair of eyes, and said: "Today's assessment, all the students in the entire blood-colored cage will be gathered together to assess how your growth has been in the past three months, now, come with me." β
A group of students were slightly stunned, the assessment came very suddenly, and there was no advance notice at all.
The servants brought the war horses, and under the leadership of Haimu and Mikala, the students turned over their horses one after another, and riding is a compulsory course for every student, after all, the real controller behind the bloody cage is the Knights of Light, and these students will be selected to be sent to the Knights of Light as an elite after graduation, so it is impossible not to ride a horse.
Loran was already able to master this skill after just a few riding trainings, as if it was an innate ability.
"Tuk Tuk ~~~"
In the sound of horses' hooves, a group of students of the seventh class rushed out of the blood-colored castle one after another, and went straight to the south, the war horses stepped on the snow, speeding around the mountain road, sometimes the road was extremely dangerous, and even some students almost fell down the cliff, and soon after, when they arrived on the flat ground, they could see the students of the rest of the classes galloping one by one from a distance, more and more people, and finally there were four or five hundred students standing in the snow.
As far as Luo Lan knows, the number of regular trainees at the beginning was more than 1,000, and now it has been reduced by more than half.
A group of instructors got together and exchanged pleasantries, talking about nothing more than how powerful the genius students in their respective classes were, while Instructor Haimu stood aside with his arms in his arms, ignoring a group of instructors.
And a group of students all looked solemn, no one knew what today's assessment was, and there was not even a notice at all.
......
Soon after, a horse galloped in the snow, and a beautiful figure jumped off the horseback, wearing a female officer's uniform, holding a horsewhip, a pair of round and slender legs and leather boots, and a cloak behind her, it was Catherine, the supreme commander of the Scarlet Castle, for this woman, many students had only seen it once, including Loraine.
But, everyone has heard of this name.
"It's Lord Catherine......"
"yes!"
A group of students lowered their voices and discussed: "It is said that Lord Catherine's cultivation is quite profound, and she has reached the extreme realm of the Heavenly Knight, and she only needs some breakthroughs to become the legendary Great Knight of Light!"
"Oh my God, a woman who is only one step away from the Knight of Light?"
"Besides, she's so beautiful......"
A group of students almost looked up at the woman, watching her walk gracefully to the center of the platform, about a meter high, surrounded by steel railings.
Catherine, with long black and beautiful hair, a pair of delicate glasses, and a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, slowly untied her red and white scarf, revealing her long snow-white neck, looking at a group of students, and said in a sonorous voice: "Students, you have survived to this day, which has proved that you are qualified to be a member of the Scarlet Castle, but this is not enough......
She stretched out her hand and pointed in the northwest direction, and said, "Just at the border of our Star Source Empire, there are not only powerful demon beast legions coveting us, in addition to them, there are also some species that are hostile to me, they are arrogant and unreasonable, they are born with divine power, and they are proud of hunting human warriors, and today, what you have to do is to fight these powerful enemies." β
As she spoke, the corners of Catherine's mouth hooked slightly, and she said, "Someone, a strong general with the barbarian army!"
Suddenly, there were cage carts in the distance, each of which was pulled by two war horses, the prisoner cart was very high, nearly three meters long, and in the prisoner cart sat a behemoth, covered with a gray linen cloth, and he could faintly see the wind between his breaths blowing a corner of the linen.
There were more than thirty such prison carts, each of which housed a strong and powerful species.
Catherine stepped off the battlefield, crossed her waist with one hand, and smiled slightly: "Lord Luke, these big guys were captured by you and brought back, you can introduce them to the students." β
"Yes, sir!"
Luke, a ground knight in gray armor, walked up to the stage, with undisguised pride and pride on his face, stretched out his hand to a group of trainees and pointed to the prisoner cart in the distance, and said, "Children, you know the ...... in these prisoner carts What is it?"
One of the students asked, "Demon beasts?"
"Nope. β
Luke shook his head and said with a smile: "They are more terrifying than the demon beasts, these big guys have developed limbs and simple minds, they only know killing and impacting, they dare to rush a human army alone, dare to attack a city alone! That's right, they are scattered in the northwest wilderness - savage giants!"
"Savage Giant!?"
For a moment, Rodney's pupils beside Luo Lan narrowed, and then a smile appeared: "I see, do you want to use the Wild Giant as our trial object?"
"That's right!"
Luke said proudly: "The barbarian giants continue to expel and attack the army of our Star Source Empire in the western realm, which is our number one mortal enemy except for the demon beast legion, and the Bright Knights have also continued to enter the western realm to fight against the barbarian giant clan over the years, and these are the prisoners of war we have captured, they are all the best of the barbarian clan, they are the elite of the warriors, they ...... The strength and speed of each Savage Giant are top-notch, so, hehe......"
Luke grinned and continued: "In principle, today's assessment is not about life and death, if the student loses, we will stop the barbarian giant from killing people as soon as possible, but ...... Not every stop will be timely, so you must learn to stick together so that you can deal with these behemoths. β
In the crowd of students, a red-haired teenager laughed and said, "Lord Luke, why unite to kill such a wild fool, I can easily kill him alone." β
"I know you. β
Luke laughed and said: "You are Traham from Class 5, it is said that you are the strongest student of Class 5, if you really start to deal with the Wild Giants in a while, I advise you to put away your arrogance!"
As he spoke, Luke said: "Savage giants, they were born in the wilderness with an extremely harsh environment, and they were born warriors. The strength is far superior to that of untrained humans, and the strictly trained savage giants are the elite of the elite, they are completely a killing weapon, and even, their bloodline ability is also quite strong, light and slanderous injuries are just broken skin for them, at any time, the more they are injured, the more they can stimulate their ferocity, so, don't underestimate them, from now on, the students will organize themselves, every group of 10 people, ten people will challenge a wild giant together, and if they are killed, they will pass the assessment, if they can't be killed, it will be counted as a failure in the assessment, and it will reduce the materials consumed by thirty percent of the cultivation within three months from todayγ β
The students were shocked.
Instructor Haimu carried a sharp sword and walked in front of the students of Class 7, his eyes were cold, and said: "You should all understand the stakes of today's assessment, right?" Rodney, Caroline, you two in a group, take the rest of the eight students, Avril and Loran, you two in a group, take the remaining eight students, and the rest of the people go to form groups with the students of other classes, and start grouping immediately!"
"Yes, Instructor!"
