Chapter 8: Luck
At night, the moonlight fell in the small room, there were two teenagers in the room, one was Loraine, the other was a blue-haired and blue-eyed teenager, the room was not too big, there was a table between the two beds, although the conditions were still rudimentary, but it was many times stronger than the trial cell in the basement.
After all, now Luo Lan is already one of the students of the Blood Cage.
"Squeak~~~"
The iron door opened, and a knight walked in, placed two small bottles and a roll of gauze on the table, and said in a flat voice: "Luolan, this is the wound medicine and bandaging cloth, the medical officer will come in a moment." ”
"Thank you. ”
Loran nodded, but he couldn't express his gratitude from the bottom of his heart, after all, everything he saw, the barbaric rules in the Scarlet Castle, and everything that killed his own mother, was actually related to the Scarlet Castle.
Soon after, a medical officer came, a short-haired woman, wearing a dark blue dress in the imperial women's military uniform, very capable to help Luo Lan with medicine and bandaging, her hair had a fragrance, very good smell, and even squatted down to help Luo Lan bandage, the round hip curve, and the slender waist line were all visible, and the two teenagers were speechless.
After the bandage, she raised her head and showed a meaningful smile: "Your wound is a bit deep, so it's best not to use your right hand for three days, and I'll come over every day to change your dressing, if you can survive tomorrow's lesson." ”
Luo Lan frowned: "Thank you." ”
"You're welcome. ”
The female medical officer stood up, reached out and gently rubbed Luo Lan's short brown hair, and said with a smile: "I heard that you killed a student today, yes, I hope to live." ”
"Thank you......" This time, Luo Lan thanked him from the bottom of his heart.
......
After the medic left, calm returned to the small room.
The blue-haired boy lay at the head of the bed, looking at the moonlight outside the window, and after a long time, he turned his face to look at Luo Lan and said, "Hello, my name is Sgarret, what is your name?"
"Loraine. ”
"Oh......" Sgaret smiled, "I saw your competition today, Rhaegar is a very talented student, I didn't expect you to be able to defeat him." ”
"Hmm......" Lorain was a little silent.
"How did you get here?" asked Sgarrett, but suddenly realized that he had asked very abruptly, and said, "I'm sorry Loraine, you must have experienced something unpleasant......
Luo Lan lay on the bed, looked at the dark ceiling, and said, "I am from the northern mountains and forests of Ailan City, and they ...... They killed my mother, got me here, and that's all there is to it. ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”
Sgarrett sat up and said, "Many people in the trial camp have had the same experience as you, but most of them have become corpses now, and they don't even have a chance to be sad. ”
Luo Lan clenched his fists, replaying the picture of his mother being killed again and again in his mind, and after a while, he exhaled a deep breath and said, "Sgarret, how did you get here?"
Suddenly, Sgarrett became a little excited, and said: "I am from the Red River City, which is larger than Ailan City, my father is a blacksmith, and I awakened a star vein when I was seven years old, and then I have the ability to control the star source power, so after I became an adult, my father sold more than half of the family property and sent me to this blood-colored castle. ”
Luo Lan was a little shocked: "Actually...... Will anyone come here for training?"
"Of course. ”
Sgarret's eyebrows fluttered, his eyes were full of enthusiasm and hope, and said: "The Scarlet Cage is a paradise for many young cultivators of the Empire, there have been too many powerful people here, it is said that several Heavenly Knights will be produced every year, and even a strong person with the strength of the Light Knight can be produced every five years, if a civilian child like me misses the opportunity of the Scarlet Cage, I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to contact that power in this life and become such a supreme existence." ”
Luo Lan looked at him: "Even if there is a high probability that he will die here?"
"Yes. ”
Sgarrett said: "There are many students who enter the blood cage every year, but less than 30% of them can get out alive, so I firmly believe that I will definitely get out of here alive and become a real strong man." ”
"That'...... I wish you all the best. ”
"Hmm!"
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Sgarrett said: "Luolan, you and I are in a group, from today onwards, you and I are partners, and only when we work together can we survive in a place like the blood cage, so no matter how much pain and hatred you endure, you must also cheer up, and there will be hope when you become stronger, so we have to work together!"
"Good. ”
Luo Lan nodded and said, "Sgarret, I'm a person who hasn't awakened the star source power, aren't you afraid that I will drag you back?"
"No!"
Sgarret's face was unwavering, and he said: "As long as you treat me as a friend, I will also treat you as a best friend, even if you don't have star source power, we will live together." ”
"Hmm!"
Under the moonlight, the two teenagers made a promise.
......
The next morning, the warm sunlight fell on the head of the bed, shining on Luo Lan's face, a warmth, he almost forgot the feeling of the sun, these days are like experiencing a nightmare, let him see his mother again in his sleep, return to his home again, but when he opened his eyes, looking at the gray student room, he knew that everything was true, and he would never go back.
A sharp whistle sounded, waking all the teenagers from their sleep, and soon after, Luo Lan and the others hurriedly washed up, dressed in student clothes, and gathered in the square outside the dormitory area, the number of people was the same as yesterday, still about a hundred.
"Today is an extremely important day for you!"
A middle-aged man wearing the badge of a knight stood in front of the cadet, raised his eyebrows, and said: "Yesterday's class tested your courage, then today's class, the test of your luck will be lucky, everyone, according to yesterday's grouping, each group stands together, all separated, okay, do it immediately!"
Suddenly, the students in the square were divided into five groups, and among them, Loran and Sgarrett stood side by side, and the faces of the two teenagers were nervous and apprehensive.
A few minutes later, a group of trainee knights walked over, each holding a pitch-black jar in their hands, and the earth knights had a smile on their faces, and said: "This jar contains two balls, one black and one white, the one who touches the white ball, the one who touches the white ball, the one who passes the level, the one who touches the black ball, sorry, fate played a joke on you, let's start, first group!"
"Huh?!"
A group of teenagers were horrified.
In the first group, two young teenagers stepped forward, and one of them reached into the jar and grabbed a small ball, only to find that it was a black ball.
"I ......"
His eyes were full of horror, and his whole body was already unable to move.
"Poof!"
The apprentice knight holding the altar shook his right hand, and directly drew his sword and stabbed it into the child's chest, the killing method was not ordinary ruthless, and with a miserable snort, the first group had changed from a two-person formation to one person.
When they saw this scene, everyone was shocked.
"You ...... You can't do that...... You can't ...... like that" A teenager has had a nervous breakdown.
"Hmph, a person who doesn't have strong willpower also wants to be an apocalypse?"
The earth knight in the center of the square sneered and said, "Go on, second group, start choosing your fate!"
In the second group, another teenager who selected the black ball was hacked and killed.
When it came to the third group, one of the black-haired teenagers gritted his teeth, and did not touch the ball in the jar at all, but turned around and rushed to the city wall not far away, and actually wanted to escape, "Peng" burst out of the strong star source power all over his body, and he was able to leap into the sky, but before his hands were stretched out, he heard the sound of "puff" in the air, and the knight guarding the city wall was already in trouble, holding a war bow, and an arrow full of star source power shot into the young man's chest, and was shot on the spot!
In the third group, the remaining teenagers became the lucky ones, but they were also scared silly.
......
"Lorain......
Sgarrett gritted his teeth, his face soaked with sweat, and said, "Only one of us can survive." ”
Luo Lan frowned: "......"
At this time, the resistance is futile, there is a knight on the scene, more than a dozen big knights, plus a group of knights on the city wall, not to mention this group of teenagers, there will not be too many people in the empire who can break through from this kind of siege.
Eventually, the jar came to Sgaret and Lorain.
Lorraine stretched out her hand.
"Wait, Loraine!"
The corners of Sgarret's mouth twitched suddenly, and he said, "Let's ...... Let me take it first, can you?"
"Hmm. ”
Loren withdrew his hand and took a step back.
Sgarrett raised his hand tremblingly, as if his palm had lost all strength, and groped in the jar, and finally took out a small ball, which was a black ball.
"Ah......h
He looked at Loren with a shocked expression.
Luo Lan also looked at him: "Sgarret, don't worry......"
"Poof!"
The knight drew his sword, the speed of the sword was too fast, and he could only see a flash of sword light passing by, and then a red line appeared between Sgarret's neck, and then the blood spread, and began to spray blood, buzzing, Sgarret's eyes widened, only to feel that there was a blank in front of him, and then the vitality quickly withdrew from the body, and the consciousness began to disappear rapidly, and the whole person fell down even softly, a young man with second-order star source power lost his life like this.
Lorain looked down at Sgarrett on the ground, clenched his fists, and said nothing.
He knew that until he gained enough strength, it would be futile to resist, but one day, he would overthrow it all, trample everything under his feet, and crush it to pieces!
......
In the sun, corpses fell to the ground, all the groups became one-man groups, and in just one morning, the number of students living in this small courtyard was reduced by half.
