Chapter 302: Devil May Cry
Chapter 293 has been updated, readers please refresh that chapter~
Captain Li Wen did not delay when he came here, he only rested and rectified for the night, and at dawn the next day, he ordered the old town mayor Qu Su to build a two-meter-high, 100-meter-square platform in the center of the town's square.
"The Imperial Capital is a little extra concerned about the selection of soul powerhouses in Longhui Province this time. Li Wen looked at the high platform being built, muttered to himself with some uneasiness, reached out and touched the hilt of the sword behind him, seemed to be more steady, looked up at the gray sky in the east, and said to himself, "Will it change the sky?"
At noon, the high platform was set up, everything was ready, and the old mayor Qu Suo and some people in the town accompanied Li Wen and his men to stand on the high platform.
The residents of the town under the stage did not need to be greeted by Qusuo, they had already stood all over the square, and some people even brought their own benches, tables and chairs to arrange them in the square, as if waiting to watch an opera performance.
No, Cassiu, and Lan also squeezed into the front of the crowd early.
Kasiu was dressed in a white-washed robe, his black hair hanging down, somewhat dressed as an elegant scholar in the old days. A pair of black eyes looked at Li Wen, but it was not Li Wen who was looking at it, but the black box placed on the long table in front of Li Wen.
Nuo stood here and suddenly felt a little nervous, but with the increase in the strength of his palm, his eyes gradually brought a little confidence, "I will definitely be selected for this selection, so that everyone will not live this poor life again." ”
Noh remembered that it was three years ago when he and Cassius and Lan met in the town. The three of them huddled together in a well-ventilated abandoned house, sometimes picking up game in the forests around the town, sometimes gathering wild vegetables, and sometimes catching fish in the creek that was bigger than the orchid at that time. It's just that in winter, starvation and freezing have become a lingering shadow in my heart.
Nou wants to change all that, Nou has to be chosen, and then become a hero like Lot.
"Ahem, ahem...... "A dry cough from the old mayor Qu Suo interrupted Nuo's thoughts.
Standing on the stage, Qu Su slowly raised the cane in his hand, and vibrated each syllable with a voice that was completely unrecognizable that he was over half a hundred years old, "The glory of Lott is with us!"
"The glory of Lott is with us!"
"The glory of Lott is with us!"
In the square of Lot, both men and women, old and young are shouting in unison, this is not a slogan, nor an oath, this is everyone's reverence for heroes, this is the glory of Lot, it is the glory of everyone in the town, for example, the townspeople go out and say "I am from Lott Town" will have a feeling of staying in a hotel without spending money.
Seeing this scene, Captain Levin's left mustache couldn't help but jump a few times, and the hero Lott was not only famous, but you could get a glimpse of it just by looking at the worship of the townspeople for him.
With the sound wave after wave, Li Wen's face also had a trace of twitching, "These guys are enchanted!" Thinking so in his heart, he also stood up, holding the big sword with both hands, his muscles tightened, and more than level 20 physique power poured into his arm, at this time, a soul crystal inlaid at the hilt of his sword also faintly resonated with Li Wen, emitting a blue faint light, plus when he deliberately pulled out the sword, the sword and the scabbard had a strong friction.
Buzz –
The sound of the sword blade shaking like a tiger roaring and a dragon's roar finally calmed down the group of excited townspeople in front of them.
People always unconsciously worship the strong, but the strong man is standing in front of everyone's eyes at the moment, when the hundred-kilogram sword is wielded freely in Li Wen's hands, he is the strong man in the eyes of people.
Qu Su was also secretly surprised, and laughed at himself with some melancholy, "Li Wen has more than level 20 soul power at his age, and it's really embarrassing for me to have an old bone that is worthy of level 15 soul power." ”
Looking at the quiet townspeople, Li Wen enjoyed the way they looked at him, and slowly lowered his greatsword while glancing at one of his subordinates beside him.
The subordinate took advantage of the quiet of the townspeople to step forward and announce to the people in the square the beginning of the Soul Hunter selection.
"Soul Ability Selection, all teenagers under the age of eighteen are eligible to participate in the test, as long as the soul power reaches level 3, they can be selected, and get the opportunity to enter the Soul Ability Academy for further study. ”
Everyone's eyes followed the man's finger and landed on a tripod on the stage. At the top of the shelf was a fist-sized soul crystal, encased in a special square device.
"This is a test tool specially used to mine soul powers, and even people who don't know how to use soul power can use it to evaluate the level of their soul power. ”
According to the theory pioneered by the scholar Marfa, the soul power is mainly reflected in the three aspects of physical strength, spiritual power and faith power, and the soul crystal stone made by special processing can be used to rate the soul power, and the strength of the soul power is divided by a hundred levels from low to high.
The countries on the Divine Mercy Continent have their own methods for selecting soul power, and the number and level of soul power are also an important indicator of whether a country is a strong country.
For example, the Henghui Empire, where Novo and Cassius are located, focuses on cultivating potential soul energy under the age of eighteen, providing these teenagers with the opportunity to further master soul power, and of course, in the end, these cultivated soul energy will be assigned to various institutions of the empire to serve the empire.
Captain Li Wen stroked a soul crystal embedded in the hilt of his giant sword, his gaze deliberately swept over the faces of the sixteen or seventeen young men in the square, and as he spoke, the two pinches of small mustaches on his mouth also shook up and down.
"Then gentlemen, ladies, and the future of the Empire, the long-awaited selection of soul powerhouses begins. ”
As Li Wen spoke, his eyes focused on the location of the three of them, intentionally or unintentionally, and the three young boys and girls standing together in his heart might have unexpected surprises.
"Then, let's start from the east side of the square, as long as the teenager under the age of eighteen can come here, and put his hand on the soul crystal on the shelf to rate the soul power. ”
Standing in the east-central direction was the three of them who Li Wen was looking forward to.
There was a breeze gently caressing the town square, and there was a tacit silence. Qu Su couldn't help but be a little nervous, four years ago, there were only two people in Lott Town who barely qualified, and in his heart, this was not the result that the glorious Lotter Town should have.
The first to come out of the east was a little chubby boy with a childish and ruddy face, who was no more than fourteen or fifteen years old. Li Wen did not find the nervousness that should have been in him, on the contrary, the expression on the boy's face brought Li Wen a kind of inevitability, and he would inevitably pass the selection.
