The next morning, when the jungle was foggy, the blood-colored castle stood on the plain, and when I looked down from a high vantage point, the land was so vast that I couldn't see anything.

Lorain woke up early, and after having breakfast with Mikala, she carried the heavy duffel bag that Mikaela had prepared, and soon after, Catherine came down from the upper floor, wearing a delicate soft armor, wearing a knight of light cloak, carrying a rapier, looking at Loren, and saying, "Everything is ready?"

"Ready, Miss Catherine. ”

"Okay, let's go!"

......

As the three of them walked down the stone steps, they saw Grantham leading seven other elite battalion cadets to the other side of the castle, each carrying a heavy water bag.

"Lord Catherine!"

Grantham stopped and bowed respectfully.

"Lord Grantham. ”

Catherine bowed her head lightly and said, "Today's training of the elite battalion is about to start?"

"Yes. ”

Grantham smiled and said, "They're going to spend three days in the bottom floor of the geothermal chamber with the Dry Fire Elemental, and it's going to be very difficult for them. ”

"Hmm. ”

Catherine nodded and said, "Lorraine and I have also embarked on a journey to the Proving Grounds. ”

Everyone passed by one by one.

As Rodney passed by, he smiled and said, "I hope you'll be stronger when you return!"

Luo Lan smiled slightly: "You are the same." ”

When Avril passed by, a pair of beautiful eyes looked deeply at Loraine and said, "Come back early, I wish you all the best." ”

"You too. ”

Then, Lin Ke looked at Luo Lan with a meaningful smile, but did not speak, followed by Caroline, with a bright smile: "Lucky guy, follow Lord Catherine and cultivate well!"

"Hmm!"

In the blink of an eye, everyone walked farther and farther away from each other, and when they came to the flat ground of the castle, a ground knight instructor had already prepared four horses, and said respectfully: "Lord Catherine, the horses have been prepared, and in addition, our sentry has also sent back the feather book, and the situation over there is going well, and in just three or five days, there will definitely be a trial environment that satisfies you." ”

"Good. ”

Catherine smiled slightly, took a white horse and turned over and rode up, and then said, "Lorraine, you choose one to mount, Mikayla, you ride one, and the other one to carry our luggage." ”

"Yes, sir!"

......

Without waiting for the fog to clear, the three of them quickly left the castle, and then headed all the way north, along the avenue of the Star Source Empire.

It was a whole morning, and the three horses from the north were all horses, and they galloped nearly three hundred miles in the morning, resting for a while in a tavern in a small town on the side of the road, feeding the mounts some forage and water, while Catherine took Lorain and Mikaela to a simple lunch in the tavern.

As soon as the three of them sat down, the tavern became much quieter.

The tavern waiter's face was in awe, his eyes swept over the insignia on Catherine's shoulder, and his heart sank, knowing that this was someone from the Scarlet Castle, and judging from the knight's badge, this beautiful woman was by no means simple, and the pale gold badge seemed to have surpassed the legendary earth knight.

This is just a remote town, there are knights in the past, but the strongest is the earth knights of the Knights of Light who passed a few months ago, those earth knights are flying and domineering, no one is in sight, and they do have the capital to dominate, and the woman in front of him ...... Her badge was obviously much more elaborate than the knight's badge, and her pretty face was carved like jade, which made the tavern waiter's heart flutter, but one thing she must know was that this woman must be a big man!

Even, even the beautiful attendant knight on the side is a high-ranking knight, which is really too big.

"My lord, what to eat?" the waiter asked tremblingly.

"One roast beef, one oat bread, plus a bowl of broth per person. Catherine said softly.

"Yes, please wait. ”

The tavern waiter hurried to get ready.

Soon after, a simple lunch arrived, this piece of beef was as thick as the palm of the hand, and the powder of the condiment was touched on it, and the entrance was soft and fragrant, and the exhausting journey along the way turned into the ultimate meal, and Lorain quickly settled the battle, and then ate two more loaves of bread, and was very satisfied after drinking the broth.

Catherine said, "After eating, rest for ten minutes, and then set off, we have a long way to go, and we hope to be there before dark tomorrow." ”

"So far?"

Luo Lan was slightly stunned: "Teacher, our trial ground this time...... What the hell is this place?"

Catherine smiled suspiciously: "I can't tell you yet, but you'll know when we do." ”

"Oh...... Yes!"

After Luo Lan finished eating, he sat quietly and rested, his body was full of wisps of elemental power, although he was in a small tavern, he still had a very active elemental power, and Luo Lan's body had a very high affinity with the elemental law, even if he didn't deliberately operate, but the elemental power in the surrounding space was still involuntarily attracted to him.

Catherine saw it in her eyes, smiled slightly, showed a look of approval, and said, "Luolan, do you know why the first lesson of the elite camp is to enter the geothermal room again to comprehend the flame element?"

"I don't know. ”

Lorain shook her head.

Catherine smiled faintly: "It's very simple, you have been in the Scarlet Castle for a year, and the first stage of cultivation has been completed, in this year, some have mastered various combat techniques, some have mastered the transformation of star source power of various elemental powers, and some people can learn one or two simple magics, but the final result is the same, that is, to understand the existence form of energy in this world." ”

She looked at Luo Lan deeply, and said: "Fire, it is one of the most common elements, flame represents temperature and heat, there is a flame element where there is heat, it's just a little different, almost all the students have mastered the use of flame in the first year of the Scarlet Castle, and have learned the improved combat skills of Blazing Slash and flame power, but ......"

She pursed her lips and smiled, "After all, it's just a superficial mastery, just with the Blazing Slash, at most it's just an earth knight, so if you want to go further, you must deepen your understanding and cognition of this basic element, which is why they have to stay in the geothermal room for three days, and you ...... There will be a different kind of test. ”

Luo Lan couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine, and said, "Teacher, will my trial be very difficult?"

"Yes, maybe even a small life. ”

Catherine smiled meaningfully.

On the side, Mikaela took a sip of hot soup and didn't dare to say anything.

After a little rest, the three of them went out again, and the horses were almost rested, and they spurred their horses and galloped on the Imperial Boulevard, at this time the fog had completely dissipated, and there were only some merchants and travelers on the main road, as well as some wandering mercenaries, farmers, etc., and Catherine, Lorain, and Mikara were all wearing the armor of the blood-colored castle, so it was very eye-catching.

It is precisely because they all wear the badge of the Knights of Light, so no one dares to provoke, the Knights of Light, the strongest force of the Star Source Empire, and also one of the means for the Temple of Goddesses and the Holy See of Light to rule the entire Star Source Empire, in the north, those who dare to provoke the Knights of Light are probably only the Knights of Light's own people.

Otherwise, not to mention a beautiful woman like Catherine, even if it is Mikala's appearance, those rough mercenaries who are five big and three rough will probably not let it go.

......

As a result, as Catherine said, the journey took two days.

After spending the night in a tavern, they set out again the next day, and near evening they arrived at a wilderness of mountains, and beyond that were only a few scattered villages, and the road had come to an end, leaving only a few peasants and hunters.

"It's close. ”

Catherine took out the map from Mikaela's luggage and glanced at it, then sniffed her nose and said with a smile: "We are less than ten miles away from there, leave the war horse at Orion's house, let's set off on foot?"

"Yes, sir!"

......

After boarding the war horse in a farmer's house, the three of them walked along the mountain road, the mountain road was rugged, fortunately, the three of them were cultivators, and after walking forward for a short time, Luo Lan had already smelled a pungent smell from the air, and frowned: "What kind of smell is this, it smells so bad." ”

Mikaela nodded.

Catherine turned around and smiled, "Don't you notice anything but the smell?"

Luo Lan groaned and said, "I feel that not far away, there are a lot of very dry fire elements moving, well, about ten miles to the east of us. ”

"That's right. ”

Catherine said, "That's where we're going. ”

Luo Lan crossed a bush of thorns with an arrow step, and his body fell to the ground, just a vertical leap of physical strength, and his strength and speed were already quite dexterous under his control, as if a cultivator who had mastered the power of the star source was walking, while Mikaela was a little struggling, carrying her luggage, and walking very slowly.

Lorain immediately turned around, took the luggage from Mikala's hand, and said with a smile: "I'll take it." ”

"Well, thank you......"

Mikaela blushed: "I'm really useless, I've dragged my feet......"

Loren laughed and didn't say anything.

......

About twenty minutes later, Catherine, who was walking in front, jumped up nearly twenty meters high, and gently landed on the hillside in front of her, looking into the distance with beautiful eyes, and said with a smile: "It's here." ”

"Huh?"

Lorain quickly followed, carrying a heavy load on his body, jumped to Catherine's side, and looked at the scene in the distance, and suddenly his face turned green, there was a smoky volcano, wisps of molten lava spilled from the cracks between the mountains, and it had caused a long mountain fire, and it looked like this volcano was about to erupt.

"No......"

Luo Lan couldn't help but secretly cry bitter in his heart, pointed to the volcano, and said, "Teacher Catherine, this is where I tested?"

"You guessed it. ”
