"Eat it, Anne." In the shadow under an arched bridge, two small figures were exchanging something, they were Liu Xin and Annie.

It has been more than four months since they were kicked out of the makeshift room, and during these four months, Liu Xin and Anne have spent the whole day wandering in the dark corners of the royal city, either sleeping in the bridge or under the eaves every day. And he can only survive on a little leftovers, and he can't even eat enough, which is still the food that Liu Xin goes to the garbage dump in the rich area of Wangcheng and the other children compete for every day, otherwise he may not even have anything to eat.

At this time, Liu Xin took his 'trophy' and handed it to Anne with a small half of a piece of soft bread, and for this high-end goods, Liu Xin was also beaten up by the group of little children. Because of the age limit, even if Liu Xin's physical fitness has improved a little, he can only be comparable to some seven or eight-year-old children.

"Did you hear that? The Knights of the Silver Hand are now recruiting Reserve Knights for everyone, and as long as we become Reserve Knights, then we can leave this dark bridge and enter the Knight Academy. At this time, Liu Xin heard the conversation of several 'neighbors' who were also staying in the bridge cave, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The Silver Hand?" Liu Xin silently read a sentence in his heart, looked at Anne next to him, whose face was already covered with tears and stains, and decided to give it a try.

Perhaps confirming the discussion of several 'neighbors', there were bursts of footsteps on the arched bridge overhead, and along with the sound of footsteps, a high-pitched magic horn kept shouting.

"Because of the urgency of the war on the front line, the Knight Academy began to enroll students in advance, and all minors before 16 can go to the central square to participate in the assessment within three days, and those who pass the assessment will be able to enter the Knight Academy for further study, and even become a member of the Silver Hand, hereby announced."

"Because of the war on the front," the voice of the magic radio kept repeating, moving away as the propagandized troops moved away.

"Annie, let's go out for a walk." Looking at Anne, who had finished eating bread, Liu Xin took her out of the dark bridge and walked towards the central square.

Along the way, they met many people who were also heading towards the central square, including well-dressed nobles, commoners in linen costumes, and more often refugees in ragged clothes.

Liu Xin took Anne's hand, like a river flowing into the sea, into the crowd that flocked to the central square.

As he approached the central square step by step, Liu Xin finally saw the hot scene, the periphery of the entire central square was already crowded, and even the streets next to it were full of people, only the middle of the square was surrounded by a circle of desks, leaving a vacant lot, and the rest of the place was full of people, which was completely comparable to the Spring Festival of country C before the end of the world, which showed how huge the influence of the Knight Academy was.

The Knight Academy, once a comprehensive college that provided systematic political education, cultural education, and military education for the children of the aristocracy, its high tuition fees and strict admission conditions discouraged all non-nobles, and they could only sigh for the rest of their lives. However, as the war with the orcs continued, the fighting on the front line continued to deteriorate, and the human forces were already somewhat overwhelmed and were in a stage of inadequacy, so some admission conditions were opened to allow non-nobles to join.

Although the tuition fee of the Knight Academy is still very high, his long-standing reputation is there, as long as he can graduate from the Knight Academy, he can become an officer-level existence in the army, and for this reason, those civilian families who have passed the Knight Academy assessment will go even if they are smashing the pot and selling iron.

In this knight academy, it is divided into three echelons, the first echelon is those former noble children, the second echelon is the elite students who study for free or even receive subsidies with excellent grades, and the third echelon is those civilian students who barely pass and have to pay high tuition fees.

And a large part of the countless refugees who flocked to the central square came with the intention of becoming members of the third echelon, because of the tension of the war, the knight academy allowed all cadets to enroll first, pay tuition later, and even pay tuition fees a year after graduation at the latest. All the expenses in the process of study will be subsidized by the state, and you can imagine how much these refugees who are often hungry yearn for the college life without worrying about food and clothing.

It's a pity that even the third echelon is not so easy to join, all kinds of rigorous tests and assessments, a large number of people have been screened, and in order to cope with the current war, the assessment of force and physical fitness has been photographed to the forefront, and it is difficult for these refugees who can't eat enough all day to pass the force assessment.

Liu Xin took Anne to keep moving forward, and waited for more than 4 hours before Liu Xin moved to the front, and soon he could go to the registration office, and he only needed to register to participate in the assessment.

"Yo, isn't this the arrogant Liu Xin? Why are you here too? Don't you give a damn about anything, and don't even want to talk to us? Why are you still here to take the test like us? "At a registration window not far from Liu Xin, there was a group of Liu Xin's 'acquaintances' who were taunting Liu Xin.

They are the group of little children who compete with Liu Xin for food every day, and before coming here, Liu Xin was beaten by them in order to compete for that piece of high-grade bread.

"Phew, you are a (bitch) and you have to set up the memorial arch, who are you arrogant to see, we invite you to join and don't care about us, you are not the same as us in the garbage heap to plan food, not the same as us here to register for the exam, not the same as we beat." The young man who spoke first saw that Liu Xin didn't reply, didn't even look at himself, spat fiercely, and said indignantly.

"These mad dogs!" Liu Xin didn't even look at those young people, he just said a word in his heart, ignoring their thoughts at all, arguing with them was a complete waste of his time, but quietly lined up in his own line.

"John, don't talk to this arrogant idiot, wait until you become a knight, and see how he doesn't bother in front of us." A young man who seemed to be a dog's leg looked at the young man in the lead and said with some compliments.

"Haha, that's a sure thing, let me tell you, I have an elder brother who is a cadet of the Knight Academy, and he has long told me what the content of the assessment is, and with my body, it is very easy to pass the assessment. As for him, if he wants to pass through his small body, he can dream about it, and if it is by the durability of the fight, he may be able to rely on it. The young man known as John laughed and mocked Liu Xin unceremoniously, and the cynicism did not stop until he reached them.

Soon, the last man in front of Liu Xin finished registering, and it was Liu Xin's turn.

"Name, age, where is it from." The man sitting behind the desk didn't raise his head, but asked Liu Xin.

"Liu Xin, 2 and a half years old, from the Storm Kingdom." Liu Xin was not angry, but said flatly.

"Huh?" Listening to the information provided by Liu Xin, the man finally raised his head and looked at Liu Xin with some curiosity, it was really Liu Xin's age that was too young, and children who were generally more than 2 years old would not come to participate in this assessment, the body at that time was too weak, and he couldn't see any potential, until he was about 7 years old, the potential child would slowly show it, so the man raised his head curiously and glanced at Liu Xin.

"Okay, little one, this is your proof, take it and follow this road, as long as you can get to the church, then you have passed the test, come on." Perhaps because of Liu Xin's age, the man finally encouraged Liu Xin and pointed out a path to the church for Liu Xin.

"Well, thank you." Liu Xin, who received the certificate, took Anne and walked towards the avenue pointed out by the man.

At this time, Liu Xin noticed the strangeness of this road, although it was also crowded with people, but on both sides of the road, every few meters, there would be a soldier in armor standing there, looking at all the people who walked by, and all the people walking on this road had sweat on their foreheads.

Liu Xin didn't pause, took Anne's hand, and stepped into the road with one foot. As soon as he entered, Liu Xin rushed to his skin and felt a little cold, and the expressionless soldiers around him faintly exuded blood, which made the testers who had never seen this kind of battle almost feel a sense of oppression that could not breathe.

And Annie, the moment she entered here, she hid behind Liu Xin, revealing her big eyes and looking at the soldiers in the distance.

"These are all warriors who have survived the battlefield?" Liu Xin thought in his heart with some doubts, and continued to walk forward with a flat face. The momentum on their bodies will feel a little numb to the scalp of ordinary people, but for Liu Xin, it is really not worth mentioning, if it is only more murderous, I believe that the people of the entire city do not have to pass Liu Xin. Although Liu Xin couldn't use his momentum, Liu Xin still didn't have any feelings for such a weak momentum.

As he continued to advance step by step, the number of soldiers around him began to increase, from a distance of a few meters to one meter to one meter, and even finally stood shoulder to shoulder. When the number of soldiers began to increase, there were already people who could not stand the momentum around them, and broke away from this main road from the surrounding alleys and gave up the assessment.

When she finally arrived at the section of the shoulder-to-shoulder soldiers, Anne finally couldn't help it, and pulled the corner of Liu Xin's clothes with some fear, making Liu Xin stop.

"Brother, I'm afraid." Anne bit her lip and said with some fear.

"Well, well, wait for me to see." Liu Xinle thought about Anne and glanced at it, raised his head and began to scan the surrounding situation, behind those soldiers, there were priests in robes, they were the rescue team to prevent accidents, Liu Xin saw no less than ten people who were paralyzed by this bloody momentum, and those priests came up to carry them away.

Liu Xin picked up Anne, who was a little weak in her steps, and walked to the side, the soldier thought that Liu Xin was going to give up, so he turned sideways to let Liu Xin pass.

"Sister Amy!" Liu Xin didn't pass by the soldier, and he didn't know if he could come in again after going out, so he stood directly in front of the soldier and shouted to a familiar figure in the distance.

"Huh? Where have you been these months, little one? I've been to where you're staying many times, and no one has opened the door. Amy crossed the soldier with some concern and came to Liu Xin and asked.

"Hehe, something has happened, can Sister Amy take care of Anne for me?" Liu Xin put down Anne behind him, looked at Amy and asked.

"What are you? Wait, this is the Knight Academy's assessment channel, why are you on it? Did you take the test? Amy asked, somewhat surprised.

"Well, my sister will help me take care of Anne, she can't go with me later, and she didn't participate in the assessment." Liu Xin pulled Anne out from behind him and let her see Amy on the other side.

"Annie, stay with your sister obediently, and my brother will come back to you later." Liu Xin looked at Anne and spoke again, and after speaking, regardless of the reluctance in Anne's eyes, he turned around again and entered the assessment channel.

As Liu Xin came back, he found that at least half of the people were missing from the originally crowded streets, and most of the people had been eliminated in the first test.

The last ten meters or so of distance is as difficult for ordinary people as a thousand meters, unless you are strong-willed, or your own level is higher than that of those soldiers, so that it is possible to complete this last distance. When Liu Xin calmly took the last step, most of the people around him were brushed off again, and there were only more than 1,000 people.

Only this first level, with a distance of nearly a thousand meters, has left only more than 1,000 people with at least tens of thousands of people, which shows the difficulty of the test.

"Congratulations on passing the first test, little ones. You're all very good, every one of my men is a man who once slept with a corpse, and if you have a little bit of concentration, you will be paralyzed in the middle of it. Now you have 1 minute to rest, and after 1 minute you can start the next level, or you can just go over it, and if you don't do anything after 1 minute, you will be considered to have given up. See those yellow lights ahead? That's the gravity technique of the earth system.,The further you go, the higher the gravity.,The last section has 3 times the gravity.,If you go through.,The second level of the assessment will be passed.。 A middle-aged officer walked up to the crowd of passers-by and said with a chuckle.

As the middle-aged officer's voice fell, most of them did not pause and continued to walk towards the front, they also knew that they could not stop, otherwise they might not be able to stand up again.

Liu Xin walked over with a calm face again, 3 times the gravity was really not difficult for him, his face was calm, and he walked through this increasing gravity field as usual.

It wasn't until Liu Xin walked out and looked at the people around him that he found that there were about 100 people who came out with him, and the others were all still in the gravity field.

"Little ones, congratulations on passing the second level, and then the last level, as long as you pass this level, you can become a cadet of the Knight Academy. But this last level can be said to be the easiest level, just a process. As long as you can be recognized by the Holy Light and given you the ability to use the Holy Light, then you can become Reserve Knights, so far I have not seen anyone who the Holy Light cannot recognize, so congratulations to you little ones. However, before we begin, we'll also give you our assessment of your performance in the first two levels, which will help you with your future placements. A middle-aged woman with alchemy glasses and a bookish breath all over her body looked at the children who had passed the gravity test and said.

"Alright, the first one, Hanbo. Lecourque. Walk to the gate of the church and receive the approval of the Light, and I will say what you have said in the process, and the same will be true of the people behind me, and I will come forward as soon as I say the name. The book-scrolling woman spoke again, and a boy with an excited face stepped out, looking reverently at the solemn church in front of him.

"Hanbo. The Light is with you, Lecoque, and you who are pious listen to the voice of the Light, which shines on your path. In the momentum of blood and fire, you have shown your tenacious determination and indomitable spirit, and we give you a C rating. Under heavy pressure, you have shown yourself to be determined and strong, and we give you a C rating. From now on, you can proudly say 'I'm a knight!' The woman looked at Na Hanbo with a smile on her face and said softly. As the woman spoke, a golden light shot down from the top of the church and sank into Hanbo's body, who was also waiting for this with a reverent face.

Then the people who passed the test walked up one by one, there were men and women, the oldest was 15 years old, the youngest was 8 years old, the whole process was cumbersome Liu Xin wanted to sleep, and Liu Xin also understood the so-called evaluation, the evaluation of the first and second levels, divided into the lowest C level, B level above, and then A level above, as for what level is behind, Liu Xin doesn't know.

"Liu Xin!" The woman finally read Liu Xin's name, and Liu Xin also walked out step by step, and the short ones made everyone look a little sideways.

"At only 2 years old, you have shown a body and a strong will that far surpasses your peers, and even I have to admire you, and it really amazes me that you can do this as a baby. We give you the highest SSS rating, and you're the second person to receive it besides the youngest general, Turayan. The doors of the Elite Class are open for you, now listen to the voice of the Light. As the woman's voice fell, everyone looked at the weak figure in front of the church in surprise, and a dazzling golden light shot straight towards Liu Xin from the top of the church, with Liu Xin as the center, the diameter spread more than ten meters, straight into the sky, and the dazzling pillar of light could be seen in the entire Lordaeron King City.
