Chapter 61: The Eve of Dabi
Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
The investigation of the Scarlet Castle was fruitless, the clues were broken again early, and Loran was directly removed from the list of suspects, no one thought that he had the strength to kill Traham, let alone kill the wolves.
It is the refining of the body day after day, so that Luo Lan's advancement speed has improved by leaps and bounds, and the muscle lines of the whole body are more obvious, the whole person looks not only full of explosive power, but also full of energy, so that during the training camp, many girls from other classes also frequently cast their eyes, seventeen-year-old Luo Lan is not handsome, but has a different attraction to girls.
The courage and perseverance in Luo Lan's eyes was something that ordinary young students did not have.
......
"Loraine!"
On the training ground, it was the day of the strength test again, Mikaela put one hand behind her back, held the roster in the other, and said, "It's your turn!"
"Yes, Instructor!"
Luo Lan came out of the crowd of students, stabbed the training sword to the ground with a "snap", came to the front of the strength testing machine with vigorous steps, took a deep breath, and the whole person sank slowly, and then swung his right arm and punched hard!
"Pengβ"
Half of the training ground was shaken, and many of the cadets looked this way.
For a moment, the instructor in charge of checking the strength data was stunned, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he said, "Class 7 student Luo Lan, the final strength ...... 959 kg?!"
Immediately, Luo Lan smiled happily, just as he expected, with the success of refining the body, the strength of the physical body has made a qualitative leap, but it still has not broken through the 1,000 kilogram mark.
"Yes, in the ranks. β
Instructor Haimu crossed his arms and had a satisfied smile on his face, Luo Lan's strength test once again unsurprisingly ranked first, even higher than the second place Rodney's 765 kilograms, and other students were even more difficult to achieve, and even many students couldn't even reach half of Luo Lan's strength.
At this moment, amid the sound of horses' hooves, a big knight galloped over, suddenly stopped his horse, and said in a deep voice: "Pass Lord Catherine's order, tomorrow morning, all the students will gather in the school field to prepare for the big competition!"
"It's going to be a big competition so soon......"
Hai Mu pursed his lips, the resolute lines on his face glowed golden in the sun, turned to look at the 11 Class 7 students in front of him, and said, "Okay, my path with your teachers and students is coming to an end, and after Dabi, the elite battalion and the ordinary battalion will be re-separated, and some of you will go to the elite battalion to receive more advanced training." β
Mikaela nodded: "I didn't expect a year to pass so quickly." β
Luo Lan frowned and said, "Instructor Haimu, Instructor Mikala, you will always be our teacher. β
"yes. β
Avril also said, "We will never forget you. β
Suddenly, Hai Mu showed a pleased smile: "Well, as long as you are still in the Scarlet Castle for a day, you can see us often, it's okay, go back and rest early, and prepare for the lottery tomorrow morning, Dabi is very important to you, as long as you enter the elite camp, you can receive direct guidance from the Heavenly Knights, and the mortality rate is ...... It will also be much lower. β
"Yes, Instructor!"
A group of students nodded in unison.
"Disband, meet at the school tomorrow!" Haimu waved his hand and turned away.
......
"Loraine. β
Caroline patted Loraine on the shoulder from behind, and then smiled affectionately: "Don't go yet, Rodney and I want to talk to everyone before Dabi, let's go over there and sit in the shade for a while, right?"
"Well, good. β
So, under the leadership of Rodney, several young cadets of Class 7 walked over in unison, sat down on the stone steps under the shade of the trees, and trained all day, everyone showed a little tiredness.
"Dabi, once a year. β
Rodney, who was usually taciturn, also spoke, and said, "I have already learned through the people in the family before I came to the Blood Cage, this annual Dabi is very important, and it will determine the cultivation environment for the next year, especially Luo Lan, you must enter the elite camp, otherwise your refining materials will be greatly reduced." β
Luo Lan nodded: "Dabi, what exactly do you mean?"
"A contest between students!"
Caroline blinked her beautiful eyes and said: "Divide into four groups, and finally determine the strongest eight students, these eight people will form an elite battalion, and the instructor of the strength of the Heavenly Knight will personally teach the course, and it will also be the bright pearl in the crown of the entire Scarlet Castle, but at present, it seems that there are more than two hundred students in total, and it is not so easy to stand out from this group of people." β
Lorain nodded: "Understood." β
Rodney said: "You must understand that after entering the elite camp, the cultivation conditions will be the best in the Scarlet Castle, in addition, becoming a student of the elite camp is comparable to a knight, and no one in the Scarlet Castle is allowed to execute the students of the elite camp at will, otherwise they will be burned at the stake, and except for the elite camp, the rest of the students will be divided into camps one by one, and these camps have no guarantee, not only may they be killed at any time because of mistakes, but the training process will be relatively cruel." β
Avril smiled faintly: "This also means that after entering the elite battalion, the survival rate has become higher, doesn't it?"
"Yes, and it will also be branded with the mark of the Knights of Light, and become the 'quasi-highest' of the Knights of Light. Rodney's expression was calm, and he said, "You can choose for yourself how to take the road in the future." β
When Avril heard this, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, but she didn't say anything.
......
Night.
Luo Lan held the Elemental Well, lying on the sofa, lazily looking at the magic words on the books, but at this moment he couldn't see it, his heart was full of things, in fact, with Luo Lan's current strength, he was confident enough to reach the top eight and become a member of the elite battalion, but he couldn't use the power of the law of space, which was a bit difficult.
After all, with only elemental power, whirlwind slash, and physical strength, ordinary students are by no means Loren's opponents, but once they meet genius students of the level of Rodney and Caroline, it is a different matter, and in the big competition, you can't lose a single game, and if you lose one, you will be assigned to camping.
He knows that only by entering the elite battalion can he become stronger and survive, and this is the way he should go.
"Huh~~~"
A fragrant breeze blew into the room, Luo Lan slowly closed the book, and said, "Lin Ke, you are here again." β
"Clever. β
The blinding method was scattered, revealing Lin Ke's slender and delicate figure, and he lay down on the sofa opposite Luo Lan, lazily raising a round and slender snow leg, almost treating this place as his own room, and in fact, in the past three months, Lin Ke has come almost every three or two days in order to learn from Luo Lan's understanding of the elemental understanding, and he has long been a regular visitor.
"Why are you frowning, are you worried about tomorrow's Dabi?" Lin Ke asked with a smile.
"Yes. β
Luo Lan frowned and said, "I'm not the same as you, my strength ...... It's hard to show it right under everyone's noses, and once it does, it means that my secret won't be able to be kept. β
"Oh yes......"
Lin Ke laughed and said, "You're a murderer, oh no, you're also a wolf-killing maniac, hanging high on the bounty list of the Scarlet Castle!"
"Do you still have the heart to joke at such a time?" Lorraine glanced at her.
Lin Ke smiled slightly and comforted: "Actually, you don't need to worry too much, although the power of the law of space is mysterious, there is also one thing that is better, that is, it is difficult to be perceived, ordinary people cannot understand the changes in the law of space, you can use it with confidence, but the power of the broken mirror is ...... It's best to keep it, once you use it, everyone will know that Traham died at the hands of your Loran, and when the time comes, the people in the Scarlet Castle in Dongyi Province will quickly get rid of you. β
"You're right. β
Loran gently handed the Well of the Elements to her and said, "This book...... Give it back to you. β
"You don't need it anymore?"
"Yes, no, I can almost memorize it backwards. β
β......β
Lin Ke accepted the Elemental Well in disbelief and said, "Luo Lan, I have a path for you to choose from, if you want, I can help you." β
"Oh, what?"
"If you are willing, I will immediately write a letter of recommendation and send someone to the Mystic Sea, so that the Mystic Sea Maguster-level elder will personally come to the Scarlet Castle to dignitaries, I believe that Lord Catherine will also give this face, so that not only can you achieve unlimited attainments in magic, but also avoid the next Scarlet cultivation in the Scarlet Castle." β
β......β
Loran hesitated for a few seconds, her mind was full of a lingering figure, it was Avril, as if she heard her smile in her ear and said in her ear that they would walk out of the Scarlet Castle alive and go to the world as two rangers, but if they left, leaving Avril alone here Life and death unknown, how could I bear it?
What's more, his mother's revenge has not been avenged, which has always been a piece of Luolan's heart.
"Forget it, thank you for your kindness. β
Loran looked straight at her and said, "I want to be on my own...... Finding a way, no matter how difficult or dangerous it is, I will persevere. β
"Hmm. β
Lin Ke smiled lightly: "I guessed that you guy would definitely respond to me like this, okay~~~"
She stood up, smoothed the hem of her skirt, and said with a smile: "Then we'll see you tomorrow, I hope you can draw a good lottery in the morning, don't be in a group that is too strong, so that you may be able to survive until the end." β
"Well, I hope so, too. β
"Gone. β
Lin Ke jumped out, his long skirt fluttering, and a blue six-pointed star under his feet, just like that, people with profound magical attainments are indeed enviable, and it seems that they don't even bother to walk.
......
Lorain opened the door of the room, looked at Avril's room on the other side, and after a long time, she didn't have the courage to knock on the door, and finally returned to her room, covered the quilt and went to sleep.
