At night, the moonlight shone in through the window again, and fell on the ground like silver frost.

Loran was the only one left in the room, and Sgarrett was gone, but the black burqa he had placed on the bed was still there, and the blacksmith's son, and so it went.

"Squeak~~~"

The door of the room opened slightly, and outside, a knight instructor walked in, sat on the bed opposite Luo Lan, looked at the stupid young man on the bed, and couldn't help but smile faintly: "Luo Lan, the things of the day must be a lot of stimulation for you, right?"

"Nope. ”

The boy shook his head.

The earth knight seemed to see forbearance and a little anger in his eyes, and just smiled slightly, and said: "The reason why the Scarlet Cage is called the Scarlet Cage is because it lives up to its name, this rule has been handed down from hundreds of years ago, courage and luck, this is the element that a strong man must have, and you have all of them." ”

As he spoke, he put the wound medicine on the table, looked at Luo Lan deeply, and said: "Among the students who survived, you are the only one who has not awakened the Star Source Mark, I hope you can survive, let me see a miracle, as long as you can survive tomorrow's trial, I will be your instructor and teacher for a long time in the future." ”

Luo Lan looked up and glanced at him, only to realize that the instructor was a handsome man of about 30 years old, with a heroic air between his eyebrows, so he nodded: "Okay, teacher." ”

The earth knight smiled slightly and said, "My name is Haimu, you can call me Haimu sensei." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Haimu. Luo Lan glanced at the wound medicine on the side, and his heart was full of vigilance.

Haimu seemed to see something, and said with a smile: "Luolan, are you guarding me?"

"I ......"

Loren wanted to say something, the boy had never experienced this.

Hai Mu didn't ask, just smiled faintly, raised his hand slightly, and under the impetus of the invisible star source force, the door of the room closed with a squeak, he looked at Luo Lan, and said: "I have already checked in the afternoon, you are the one who came out of the trial room, the 'prey' brought back by the patrol knights, you must have experienced many unforgettable memories these days, but I can tell you that not all people in the Scarlet Castle are beasts of the jungle, and you can only get to the real characters in the Scarlet Castle if you go that far." ”

"They killed my mother. ”

Loren was silent for a long time, and suddenly said a word.

Haimu was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth, and said: "Sure enough, those hunting knights are no different from mercenaries, in order to get more bounties, they have become more and more unscrupulous, and they have actually dared to kill civilians in the territory of the empire, damn it......"

Luo Lan looked at Haimu faintly and said, "Teacher, isn't it the Scarlet Castle that connived at them to do this?"

"This ......"

Hai Mu was stunned and said, "Luo Lan, you are right, in order to get more and stronger fresh blood, the Scarlet Castle has indeed issued a clear order, and will not pursue the means, and order the patrol knights to go to various places on the border of the empire to search for talents, but ...... As members of the Knights of Light, they wantonly killed people in defiance of the Holy See's instructions...... You really should hate them. ”

Luo Lan looked out the window, and her heart was mixed: "So, it's still the idea of the Scarlet Castle, and it can even be said to be the idea of the Holy See of Light, right, teacher?"

Haimu was startled, and his face changed: "Luo Lan, you are crazy, how can you say such things?"

With that, he stood up, turned to look at Luo Lan, and said: "Everything I can tell you has already been said, and the rest is not important, my only hope for you is that you can survive tomorrow's experience, let's go, come with me to choose a blade to take advantage of, this will be the key to whether you can survive or not." ”

"Yes, teacher. ”

The young man stood up and followed Haimu all the way out of the corridor, and after a few turns, he came to the ordnance department of the Scarlet Castle, and more than a dozen big knights stood outside with their hands on the hilt of their swords, nodding at Haimu in unison, and said respectfully: "Instructor Haimu!"

"Hmm. ”

Haimu returned the salute: "I'll take the students to pick up the blade!"

"Instructor Haimu personally led the students to select weapons, which is really rare, but this kid ...... Seems to be the lucky one who came out of the underground trial room?"

"Exactly. ”

Haimu didn't say much, but said in a deep voice: "Luo Lan, come in with me." ”

"Squeak", after pushing open the heavy iron door, Haimu walked ahead, clusters of braziers in the ordnance department were burning, releasing heat and light, illuminating the entire hall, only to see rows of weapon racks displayed in front of him, filling the entire hall, it seemed that there were at least hundreds of rows, each weapon rack was full of blades, there were long swords, hook locks, short knives, double-edged axes, shields, etc.

......

For a moment, Luo Lan was dazzled.

"What weapons are you used to?" asked Umiki.

"One-handed sword. Lorrain added: "Perhaps, a two-handed sword." ”

"Hmmm......"

Haimu nodded and said, "Luolan, punch me with all your might, and the teacher will test how strong you are." ”

"Teacher, this ......"

"Don't worry, attack with all your might. ”

"Yes!"

Luo Lan suddenly sank, the muscles of his body instantly tensed, the whole person was like a strong bow drawn into a full moon, his right fist suddenly blasted out, and Hai Mu had a hand, and the star source power was swirling between his five fingers, and the "Peng" made a light sound and easily blocked Luo Lan's punch, which made Luo Lan feel like he was hitting a piece of steel.

"That's about 300 kilograms. ”

Hai Mu smiled slightly, seemed quite satisfied, and said, "Kid, yes, no wonder you can defeat a formal student with star source power." ”

Loren was silent, he knew that all he had was strength and muscle reflexes, and the gap between him and the rest of the students was still very large.

"Hmmm......"

Haimu grabbed a steel sword and weighed it, frowned, and said: "Your strength is already considered the best among your peers, this is your advantage, but your disadvantage is that the Star Source Mark has not awakened, so you must be more destined to attack and defend skills than others, and you must train your speed, Luo Lan, the teacher gives you a suggestion, give up the two-handed sword and take the one-handed sword and shield, so that you may be able to survive tomorrow's test." ”

"Mr. Haimu, what is tomorrow's test?" the boy asked.

Haimu said in a deep voice: "The test on the first day is called courage, the test on the second day is called luck, and the test on the third day is called challenge, all the selected students must challenge a first-order demon beast hunted from the northern wilderness, if the challenge is successful, you can become a real student in the blood cage, if you lose, there is no need to waste the expensive training resources in the blood castle." ”

"Yes, Teacher!"

"Go ahead and choose your own one-handed sword and shield to your satisfaction. ”

"Good. ”

Luo Lan stepped forward, his eyes fell on a row of weapons racks with one-handed swords, all of which were made of stainless steel, which opened Luo Lan's eyes, in his original village, there was no chance to see such a quintessential steel sword, and even the steel fork used by Orion was actually a crude iron weapon, so he grabbed one of the short swords and waved it lightly, only to feel that it was a little too light.

Changed it, this time it was much better, much calmer, but it did not affect the speed of Luo Lan's sword, so he took out the scabbard, returned the sword blade to the sheath, grabbed it in his hand, and then went to the area where the shield was discharged, and picked a small round shield of stainless steel, the shield was not big, but it was not particularly heavy, and it could be well controlled by Luo Lan's strength.

"Mr. Haimu, I want these two, is it okay?" asked Loraine.

"Yes. ”

Hai Mu's eyes showed a faint apnoyance, and he said with a smile: "Luo Lan, you are very smart, you know how to choose the right weapon for yourself, not to choose some powerful weapons, the shield is also well chosen, such a small round shield, combined with your muscle reflexes and speed, is enough to keep up with the speed of the first-order demon beasts and resist their attacks." ”

As he spoke, Haimu asked again, "Luo Lan, have you ever seen a first-order demon beast before?"

"Nope. ”

"Then why don't you ask me if the first-order phantom beast is strong?"

"Whether I ask or not, I have to beat it or I'm going to be eliminated. Lorraine Road.

Haimu smiled: "Well, just remember what you said, you must go all out and treat the demon beast as the strongest enemy, otherwise you will regret it, over the years, there have been countless students who have been planted in the hands of first-order demon beasts." ”

"Yes, Teacher!"

......

Back in the room, after a while, the female medical officer came again, changed the dressing and rebandaged Luo Lan's injured hand and left, while Luo Lan went to bed early and recuperated enough to accept the next day's challenge.

The next morning, in a whistle, the students got up one after another, with their own blades to eat, breakfast is very simple, still broth and bread, although the taste is a little coarse, but can be the fastest speed to replenish physical strength, when the students finished eating, and after half an hour of rest, an instructor came and said: "Go, go to the monster cage, accept your challenge today!"

Soon after, a group of cadets followed the instructor across a long road to another area of the Scarlet Castle.

"Roar Roar Roar ~~~~"

Far away, the roar of the demon beast made the teenagers change color, and many people turned pale in an instant, and just after entering the high courtyard wall, the scene in front made the teenagers even more shocked, only to see a monster beast of different shapes imprisoned in a cage, let out a shocking roar, just in the cage of some demon beasts, there are also some stumps and broken bodies, which are clearly human corpses.

"Huh?"

All the teenagers were extremely frightened, including Luo Lan, and at this time, most of the students who were a little more delicate could already guess the fate of the corpses of those who had not passed the test before.

"Humph......"

The knight instructor saw it in his eyes and sneered: "What is the difference between the dead people's bodies and ordinary meat? After these demon beasts eat human flesh, they can maintain enough ferocity, and they are your qualified targets." ”
