"Will there be so many beast spirits participating in the assessment every year?"

"No, no, no, you know, beast spirits aren't good at magic or witchcraft. It was a big deal for us to make it through the third trial. ”

"Has the Temple of Glory ever had a beast spirit that became a successor?"

"As far as I know, no. ”

"Haha, O'Grey, you're going to be the first!"

"Roar, Roar, Roar, ......Roar, Roar, Roar, Roar, T

Half a day ago, Claude and O'Gray sat in front of the campfire and talked. Why not be happy in suffering?

"Is Sivir really a Lonellan?"

"Could it be that it's a Di Gan? I can't tell. ”

"I didn't expect there to be such a powerful character among the Lonellans. Speaking of which, she's already got ten stars, right?"

"yes. Actually, I don't know if the heirs are all like this. If it is, then I'm too far behind. ”

"But then again, I can see that you have a lot of things that stand out. ”

"How?"

"Hmm...... I can't tell. You're also from the Di Clan?"

"I guess so. However, you can also tell that I am thinner than my peers. Maybe I'm a stunted dish?"

"Hahaha......"

......

Claude had a messy picture in his head, fragments of fragments mixed up in his ears.

In my memory, the monsters swarmed up after the afterglow of the setting sun vanished. The lifeless voice is probably the hardest thing Claude has ever heard in his life. Like ...... It is not an exaggeration to say that the gates of hell are open. Those people are indeed dead, but they are still walking. They were dressed in a variety of clothes, and their shriveled features were terrifying.

"Starlight is the work of the Ancient Elven craftsmen, infused with the power of Starlight......"

Claude lay in the snow, he opened his eyes, and the deep sky was endless, the same pitch black, the same hollow. He began to miss Evelyn's voice, and it wasn't until he finally lost consciousness that he realized how pleasant her voice was.

"Uh...... Lou...... Luth......"

Claude felt his throat dry to the point of excruciating pain, and his hoarse voice snapped stiffly in his throat. He didn't have the strength to make any movements, and even moving his gaze was more difficult than ever.

It's easier to close your eyes. Claude smiled, at least he had done his best. As for now, if you can still feel the cold and pain, then you should still be alive.

Evelyn, where are you......

Claude asked again and again in silence.

He drew the starlight sword anyway, and when the disgusting face of the dead man almost hit it, he drew it anyway. Then, the face was reduced to ashes in the bright starlight. Since then, Starlight has drawn on Claude's strength. The sword had always been light, but in the end, Claude was crushed by the growing weight of his arms and the difficulty of taking a step.

Once again, a drowsy consciousness swept over, and Claude closed his eyes.

Live or die?

"Are you still alive? Hey...... Wake up, wake up!"

The hazy voice became clearer, and Claude clearly saw a delicate face floating with gray light, and she called out to him eagerly. With blonde hair and green clothing, her fingers are as slender as Evelyn's. Two eagle pendants hang from the ears, the pair of slightly pointed ears that belong to the elves.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Claude coughed uncontrollably, and when he opened his eyes, the dry pain almost swallowed him up. The Starlight Sword stood on the ground beside it, and around the blade, countless remains.

"Don't talk yet, this, eat it. ”

The elf in green in front of him handed a piece of biscuit-like food wrapped in green leaves to Claude's mouth. Claude didn't hesitate to take a bite.

The taste of the thing was bland, but after entering it, Claude found that his strength had recovered quite a bit.

"Are you?" Claude asked.

"Lornay. The elf in green replied.

Only then did Claude recognize that the elf in front of him was Lonay, one of the four ultimate mentors. He straightened up, and Lucian, O'Gree, and Xavier lay beside him.

"Mentor Lornay...... Why are you here?" Claude asked, taking the "cookie".

"Something went wrong during the assessment process. But don't worry, you're safe. Lornay turned to O'Grey and smiled back at Claude.

"How are they?"

"Most of them are fine, but they are overdrawn and their bodies can't support it for the time being. But the beast spirit ......" Lornais's expression was not relaxed, "we need to hurry back to the Sanctuary of Glory, his situation is a little complicated. ”

"So what's wrong?" Claude asked, "You're the ultimate mentor, so now that you've found us, go back." ”

Luo Nai's expression was slightly complicated, but at Claude's insistence, he still spoke: "Child...... It's not a secret, in fact...... We're not in Peerland. ”

Seeing that Claude was slightly surprised but didn't say anything more, Lonay lowered his head and continued to check Ogrey's injury, and said, "I don't think you're surprised, you should have guessed it, right? It's also strange to say, I don't know that there is anyone on the Eastern Continent who has such a powerful magical power that can affect the Glory Temple." The portal you walked through...... In fact, it didn't exist in the first place. ”

"Portals, how could something that doesn't exist be there......" Claude frowned, thinking to himself that there could be someone who could challenge the authority of the Glory Temple?

Luo Nai sighed lightly and said, "I don't really know this question very well. But then again, these ...... Stuff...... How did you provoke this?", as if Ronai was in a state of apprehension.

Claude understood that she was referring to these "dead men", "provoked? earlier, the wolves, and they were the same...... A wolf that resembles those people. Shortly after we arrived, they found us in the night. We were just on the road, and we had a bonfire to keep warm at night, and then they found us. ”

"When?"

"Late at night. "But these people were much earlier, and the sun had not yet set, and they had already surrounded us." ”

Lonai was thoughtful, and Sivir gradually came to his senses under her treatment.

"It seems that these monsters are afraid of the light. Lonay said.

"Yes, that's right. The group also attacked after the sun had completely set. "What are they?"

"That's probably a gang. "I mean, these people are supposed to be in the same group as the wolves you call them." Lonay tried to remember, but the monsters couldn't match any of the races he remembered. So she couldn't answer Claude's confusion.

"Is it dark magic?" said Lornais, solemnly.

"Claude?" Sivir stood up, noticing the green-clad elf in front of her, she recognized her identity, and said in surprise, "Are you...... Lornay?"

Luo Nai nodded and said, "Take it easy, you were overtired before, and the wound was also a little infected, but don't worry, I've finished cleaning it for you." ”

"You're here...... Does that mean my conjecture is correct?" Seeing Lonay, Sivir became more and more serious. Before Luo Nai could respond, she chased after her, "Corpse wolf, that kind of thing isn't an illusion you created, is it?"

"Take it easy, I've seen it. Lornay tried to calm Sivir, "Trust me, the Glory Temple can handle this. ”

Sivir stood up, and Lonay's answer did not satisfy her. The corpses of the corpses of the corpses were already covered in snow, and the humanoid corpses that had been covered with a layer of hoarfrost came into Sivir's eyes. "Then you saw all of that, right? Mentor Ronai, what are these?"

Lornay was silent, staring at the woman who was a little excited. This annoyed Sivir even more, and she squeezed out a slight smile and said, "Then, respected Mentor Lonai, please take us back quickly." It's a joke on the lives of the test takers!"

Claude was surprised by Sivir's behavior and hurriedly said, "Sivir, calm down! Mentor Lonay is here, and we are safe." ”

"She's here, we're here, that's the big problem!" Sivir rebuked coldly, "If there's really no problem, then we should be lying on the bed of the Glory Temple now!"

Sivir is well aware of the problems involved, and if it weren't for some foundation problems, even if the Mentor came to save people, he would have returned to the Queen's City as soon as possible. The ultimate mentor in front of her wasn't a priest, healing the wounded?

Lonay's expression trembled slightly with Sivir's scolding. When Claude also looked puzzled, Lornay nodded and explained, "As I said, the magic has been modified. ”

"So...... Can you go back?" Claude asked in a whisper.

Ronai nodded and said, "Ice Blue is maintaining the portal. All we need to do is get to the waypoint and she'll be able to take us back. ”

"Waypoint?" said Claude and Sivir in unison.

"You should have seen it, a circular platform with twelve stone pillars on it. Lornay replied.
