Just when Shen Chai was preoccupied, Dickens entered the house with a huge crystal bottle that was one person high.

"Shen Chai, why are you stunned!" Dickens said, "Come and help me put the bones of the Dire in this sealed bottle!"

"Oh! Okay. Shen Chai woke up from his contemplation, and hurriedly put the two star seal runes into the space ring, and immediately ran over to help.

Dickens and Shen Chai put the bones of the Dire in a crystal bottle, then added embalming magic potions to it, and finally sealed the bottle and placed it in the corner of the room.

From beginning to end, Dickens didn't seem to have thought about the Dire Space Ring, and Shen Chai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lord Dickens," Shen asked, "who is it who wants to assassinate you?"

Dickens frowned when he heard this, and said slowly: "This, I don't know, but now is the critical period of the Outer Court Competition, and there must be no mistakes!"

"You mean to say," Shen Chai said after groaning, "they're actually coming for the Outer Courtyard Competition?"

"I'm not sure," Dickens said, standing up and pacing around the room, "but we'll have to be prepared, it's time to prepare!"

"Hmm!" Shen Chai nodded when he heard this.

"But, Lord Dickens, I have come to you today for another matter. Shen Chai's thief smiled sheepishly, "What, when I went back to the academy, the written exam was over, so look at this ......"

"Oh, I see!" Dickens stroked his beard and replied with a smile, "I mean you need to take a make-up exam, don't you? Don't worry, I'll ask Mr. Magna to get a copy tomorrow, ahhh ”

"Uh, what's so embarrassing!" Shen Chaiyan's face turned black when he heard this.

Who's going to take the make-up exam......?

Shen Chai put on a smiling face and begged: "You see that I can be exempted from the exam, so that you will not be burdened, and another paper will be issued!"

"I'm also thinking about Lord Dickens's health, you see that you take care of everything all day long, worry about a lot of things in the academy, and when you rest at night, you have to prevent others from assassinating you, how can I bear to cause you any more trouble, right?"

"Tsk!" said Dickens, smacking his lips at the words, "and there is some truth to what you say. ”

"Yes!" Shen Chai was immediately happy when he heard it, and his heart was simply happy, it seems that there is a door to this matter!

"But," Dickens rolled his eyes and changed his tone, "I have one condition. ”

When Shen Chai heard this, he secretly scolded in his heart, "Old treacherous and cunning!", this Dickens is really not so easy to fool!

"May I ask Lord Dickens," Shen Chai asked tentatively, "What are the conditions? Let's say okay first, I'm a poor egg, I belong to the kind that has eaten the last meal but not the next, and now I still rely on Tang Shishi to support me...... If you open your mouth, there's really nothing I can do!"

"What are you talking nonsense about!"

Dickens was angry and amused when he heard this, his eyes widened, and he said: "My condition is very simple, that is, you must win the runner-up in this outer court competition!"

"What!" Shen Chai was stunned when he heard this, "Champion! How can my weak little body win the championship! You should know that this competition has Duran Yate's killer Matt, and Gray's little white face......"

It was only then that he realized that Dickens was not talking about the champion, but the runner-up.

Why the runner-up, not the champion?

Shen Chai muttered in his heart: Could it be that Dickens has already booked the candidate for this championship?

What's so ...... It's really dark enough! I don't know how much I have received from others!

"Well, the runner-up, huh?"

Shen Chai glanced at Dickens meaningfully, and then threw a "I understand" look at him.

"Understood, Lord Dickens!

Shen Chai patted his chest and said confidently: "You just command, let me clear the obstacles for whom, I am the best at this kind of thing!"

"Huh?" Dickens was also stunned when he heard this, and then reacted, glanced at the book and said, "Stinky boy, you seem to have misunderstood what I meant!"

"I mean, with your strength, I'm afraid you can only compete for the runner-up in this Outer Court Competition!"

"What!" Shen Chai gasped when he heard this, "You mean that there will be a particularly powerful character participating in the competition this time!, and his strength is far above those of us?"

Dickens nodded: "That's right, as soon as he makes a move, I'm afraid that the few of you together are not opponents." ”

The more Shen Chai listened, the more frightened he became, and he went through the students of the seven classes in the outer courtyard in his mind, and screened out a few powerful characters.

"Is it Duran Yate?" Shen Chai guessed, he thought that only Duran Yate had the strength to sweep through the Outer Academy, and since Shen Chai entered the Gruss Academy of Magic, he had not seen Duran Yate make a move.

Gray was also strong, but not to the extent that Dickens had said.

As for Maxim, Andrew, Locke and Eddie, the top of their classes should not have reached this level.

Dickens shook his head when he heard this: "Duran Yate, this kid, no, but he may be the biggest obstacle for you to get the runner-up." ”

Shen Chai was even more surprised when he heard this, could it be that there were more powerful characters than Duran Yat in the entire outer courtyard?

It's impossible! Shen Chai secretly thought that he had already sent Liu Neng and Zhao Xi to investigate the details of all the masters in the seven classes of the outer courtyard, and there should be no hidden characters!

"Could it be Old John?" Shen Chai asked again, although he didn't have much confidence in this candidate in his heart.

Old John is now in his forties, and he can be called the king of the Gruss School of Magic, and if he can have any powerful means, he will not be guilty of waiting for death in the outer courtyard for so many years.

"Hey, don't guess!"

Dickens waved his hand and said: "You can't guess this person even if you want to break your head, so let's prepare for tomorrow's game, but don't accidentally not even get into the top ten!"

"That's absolutely impossible!" Shen Chai said confidently.

Although Dickens was reluctant to reveal this mysterious powerhouse, Shen Chai's heart couldn't let go, and he kept guessing various possibilities.

Moreover, he was also very strange in his heart, after he returned to the academy from the borderlands, Dean Dickens did not ask the slightest about his experience with this half of the country.

Shen Chai had even made up a set of rhetoric in advance, but now that Dean Dickens didn't ask, he directly saved a lot of tongues.
