Three days later.

Bidding farewell to his family, Lu Qi sat on the unicorn and set off for Skoda City.

After three hours of running, Lu Qi finally arrived, and the first thing that caught his eye was the trapezoidal buildings in the city of Skoda, which was related to the topography.

The palace in the west-central part of the city is the most prominent, standing tall, and along the east, the building gradually decreases in height, giving the impression that the highest one is the most noble quarter, and the lowest is the civilian quarter.

It has only been a few decades since the founding of the Ten Thousand Souls Empire, and the gap between people has widened considerably.

The difference with Huangliu City is not only the style of the building, but also the avenue in the city of Skoda, where people come and go, and there are all kinds of rare beasts that can be seen everywhere.

Rare beasts work day and night with their hosts, often accomplishing things that humans alone can't.

Despite this, people couldn't help but look at the unicorn that Lu Qi was riding, just because the rare beast that resembled a horse had a spiral horn on its head.

The crowds are crowded, and it is not easy to walk quickly, after all, there are still many children playing on the streets.

After walking slowly for a while, he crossed the lively streets and ushered in another wide avenue, at which point Odysseus could go straight to the royal palace.

There is a high wall outside the palace, Lu Qi was stopped by the guard at the door, he raised his left hand, the ring of dawn appeared in the guard's sight, the guard instantly let go, after asking the location, Lu Qi went straight to the dark department, and the king was directly in charge.

The palace is so large that it already occupies a quarter of the entire city of Skoda, and the palace is divided into various departments, with soldiers patrolling the streets, and the dark part is located next to the main hall where the king is located, and soon, Lu Qi reached outside the dark department.

There were two masked guards standing at the door, surrounded by twelve teenagers of the same age as Lu Qi, scattered into several small groups, chatting, obviously selected by various cities in the empire, taking Odysseus back into his body, Lu Qi walked forward.

Lu Qi was the last one, seeing him coming, people moved their eyes to Lu Qi from time to time, and a huge teenager stepped forward to block Lu Qi's way.

"Boy, who do you think you are?" The young man said with an arrogant face, and even more angrily.

Lu Qi ignored it, just turned a corner and walked away.

Seeing this, the young man was even more angry, turned around and grabbed Lu Qi's collar directly, "What are you arrogant about?" Do you know how long everyone has been waiting for you?"

Seeing this provocation, Lu Qi looked calm, even lazy, and said coldly: "This is the palace, don't make trouble." ”

"Don't make a fuss? Do you know who my father is? Minister of War, in charge of one-third of the empire's troops, I have been in and out of the palace at will since I was a child. The young man raised his head, looked at Lu Qi with squinted eyes, and said.

"Oh, it turns out that it was your father who became the messenger of the dawn!" Lu Qi's tone was a little sarcastic, which directly made the young man angry.

"I don't mind teaching you a lesson right now and letting you know who's the boss. As he spoke, the boy clenched his fists.

"Who wants to be the boss?"

Suddenly, a magnetic voice sounded like a middle-aged man from inside the room, and everyone turned their eyes to the door.

In front of everyone, it was thought that the man in a black robe and a mask, with a strong physique, his hands on his back, looked like he had experienced the world, and on the left and right stood two masked dawn messengers, one of whom was a woman.

At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and after a while, the masked man began to speak again, "I know, each of you is a genius selected from every city, and arrogance is naturally indispensable, but in the future, your temper will be smoothed out, and now, what awaits you is the fusion test to see if you are really qualified to become the Dawn Messenger." ”

At this time, a teenager raised his hand and asked, "How does that count?"

"Melter level five or above, can master the second form, both are indispensable, if anyone has not reached it, please take off the Ring of Dawn and leave automatically. The man replied.

As soon as these words came out, eight people silently lowered their heads, took off the amber ring in their hands, handed it over, and then turned around and left dejectedly.

Looking at the backs of these leaving, Lu Qi secretly said in his heart: With the Ring of Dawn as the reward for the winner of the competition, it must be taken back in the end, and sure enough, good things made of precious materials will not appear in anyone's hands casually.

After the eight of them left, the leading man said, "The Ring of Dawn is not easy to come by, if you don't cultivate diligently after you get it, you don't know how to sympathize, you five come in with me." ”

The five of them lined up neatly, and Lu Qi stood at the end, walked into the house, and a large melting platform appeared in front of him.

In the first place was a young girl, standing directly on the melting platform, and with the gushing of fusion power in the body, a few big words appeared on the display screen, "The fifth order of the melter." ”

Under the man's instructions, the girl walked out of the house, and the fusion power surged out, turning into a huge two-headed flame-crowned eagle, Lu Qi looked at it, and memories emerged, this was a rare beast that Lu Qi had tamed when he entered the Rongli Academy, but he did not accept the possession at that time.

After that, someone stands on the melting platform.

The second, "The Fifth Order of the Melter." ”

The third, "The Sixth Order of the Melter." ”

And the fourth one was the big fat man who had provoked Lu Qi just now, "Melting Eighth Order," which was the highest level that had appeared at the moment, and a haughty look suddenly appeared on his face.

But the man shook his head dissatisfied.

The last person, Lu Qi stood on the melting platform, and the level displayed on the screen directly surprised everyone, "Fusion Master First Order." And the arrogant big fat man before is also overshadowed at this moment, reaching the first level of fusion at the age of sixteen, for others, it cannot be said to be unique, but it can be regarded as particularly prominent.

"Not bad!"

The leading man seemed to be a little lost, and there seemed to be a hint of relief in his tone, and then, Lu Qi strode outside to make a simple final item.

After the appearance of the huge unicorn, the test was finally completed.

"What's your name?" the masked man asked Lu Qi softly.

"Lu Qi!"

"It turns out that you are Lu Qi! Your name has long been heard like thunder. The man said.

At this time, the big fat man next to him was stunned, but his expression quickly turned to jealousy, "What's the big deal." ”

"Lu Qi, you stay," the man said to Lu Qi, and then said to the other four, "You four go with those four masked ones." ”

Seeing Lu Qi being left behind, the big fat man was still very unwilling that he became a special caretaker, "Why are we four of us, what are we going to do? Why was Lu Qi left behind." ”

"Because you are still very weak, they will take you to cultivate and strengthen, and Lu Qi can directly join the company. The man replied unceremoniously.

Although he was unwilling, the big fat man still left with the other three people following the four masked men.
