Chapter 149: Joint College Assessment (10)

Cialis and Caroline glanced at each other, then nodded in tacit understanding, looking at the other three men present in confusion.

"Lilith, Lilith, wake up. Hylith nudged Lilith's shoulder.

"Ah...... What happened to me?" Lilith immediately opened her eyes quickly when she heard Ciris's voice, and then jumped straight from Alan's hand, full of energy and not at all like someone who had just woken up from a coma.

"Well, you have to pretend to be a little bit like it. Cilith sighed secretly, although Lilith closed her eyes just now, but when Cilith checked her status, Lilith's obviously nervous body shrank, and even her breathing became a little faster, obviously Lilith was not unconscious, or woke up after being unconscious. As for the reason why Lilith pretended to be unconscious, Cilith can easily guess, she should be embarrassed, after all, she was carried by Alan in the way of a princess and ran all the way, and she wanted to go by herself but couldn't catch the opportunity to put it forward, so she had to continue to pretend to be unconscious in embarrassment, and Cilith guessed that as long as Lilith was given a chance, she would definitely "wake up" immediately.

But apparently the others didn't pay as much attention to Lilith's pretending to be unconscious as Hillis, and of course it was okay to say that they were dull.

"Lilith, are you okay, your hand?] Alan frowned and asked Lilith worriedly, Lilith's actions at that time really scared Alan, if it wasn't for Alan just arriving, Lilith might have cut off her right hand, in the case of Rowling in a coma, everyone may only be able to help Lilith stop the bleeding, but in the absence of a priest nearby, Lilith's right hand will definitely be abolished, not to mention continuing to advance, it is considered lucky to be able to keep the status of a mid-level paladin.

「...... Should...... Are you alright?" After hearing Alan's question, Lilith shuddered at the thought of the terrifying scene she had seen before, and then quickly raised her right hand to check it.

The white and slender, strong muscles hidden under the white and delicate skin, did not look abnormal at all, but Lilith still remembered the horrific scene of her right hand full of eyes and mouth, even though her right hand was now back to normal, but that scene lingered in Lilith's mind.

"Alan, what did my right hand look like when you came to help me?" Lilith couldn't help but ask.

"What's the matter? Your entire right hand was covered in darkness and eroded, and you stared at your hand with a look of something terrible, and then even took out the knife you had with you to cut off your right hand directly, if I hadn't just stopped you, I'm afraid it would have caused irreparable consequences. Alan described what he saw a little, and he was sure that Lilith must have been affected by the fear, seeing some degree of hallucination, and figuring out which part was a hallucination should also help Lilith recover from the aftermath of the fear.

"Was Lilith so affected? Even Rowling didn't do any self-harm at the time. Roland couldn't help but interject, Caroline worriedly pulled Lilith's hand, and Cilith covered her mouth, as if she was a little frightened, as for Rowling was sleeping peacefully under a tree at the moment.

"No, actually, the two are very close. Alan shook his head and explained.

"Approach? Rowling just cast a powerful light spell on that disgusting piece of flesh at that time, and Lilith was going to cut off her own hand. Roland said with a frown.

"No, both of them are motivated by the desire to destroy fear, but Rowling's fear is about the piece of flesh, and Lilith's fear is probably her right hand. Alan said speculatively, although there was no way to know what Lilith had seen, but after seeing Lilith's strange behavior, he still had some ideas.

「...... I don't have anything strange growing on my hands, do I......? Mouth?" Lilith listened silently to the conversation between the two, as if to confirm Alan's suspicion, and Lilith asked Eren with a look of fear.

"...... mouth?" Alan lowered his head and made a thoughtful appearance, of course, he was sure that when he went to rescue Lilith at that time, Lilith had nothing but darkness on her hands, but the appropriate way to think about it, the answer would be more convincing to Lilith, it would be best if Lilith could recognize that it was indeed an illusion.

"......" Lilith swallowed, looking at Alan worriedly.

"No, your hands are nothing but darkness. Alan replied affirmatively after a brief moment of contemplation.

"Really......" Lilith was relieved to hear Alan's answer, if her hand really grew out of her mouth, then she really couldn't look directly at her right hand again, fortunately it was just an illusion.

"Since Lilith is okay, shall we stay here any longer, will that strange man chase him out?" asked Hylith, a little worried.

"It should be okay for the time being, someone blocked the man for us, and if I'm right, the man won't continue to chase him out. Alan said that he had his thoughts on staying here, and that it wasn't just to confirm Lilith's condition. He had to confirm what that guy was trying to do, and it was better to make a decision right here, otherwise the situation would become very passive, and in this unknown situation, the fewer unstable factors the better, after all, the other party is ......

"Are you sure? That disgusting man isn't as generous. Lilith said, thinking of that man's combat power, Lilith still couldn't help but be a little jealous, the wall she built couldn't block that man's blow, and even she was corroded by the darkness and hallucinated, which was a shame for the knight who guarded the Holy Light.

"We'll find out soon, but until then......" Alan looked at the forest at the bottom of the valley and pondered for a moment, and then gestured for everyone to come over, everyone was stunned for a moment, but after seeing Allen's serious eyes, they immediately leaned over, and everyone began to whisper.

......

"Someone came out. Richie said, looking at the forest at the bottom of the valley.

The knights and thieves held their weapons vigilantly, and the magicians were ready to cast spells at any time, and everyone watched vigilantly at the figures coming out of the forest.

"Can anyone explain what the hell is going on here?" a gentle voice came from the forest.

"Mr. Bud?" Roland couldn't help but ask.

The fat man who came out of the forest was the chief examiner of this assessment, Bud.

"Mr. Bud, why are you here, and what about the man who attacked us?" Roland asked, a little confused.

"It's just a coincidence, I noticed that the necromantic creatures in the Lost Dark Realm seemed to be a little restless, so I came out to inspect it, and just in time to save Eren and the paladin girl, the necromancer was also injured by me, so I shouldn't dare to catch up again. Bard still had a faint smile on his face, which made people involuntarily trust him, and he explained gently to Roland and his party, as he slowly approached them seemingly unintentionally.

"How could there be high-level necromantic creatures here?" Alan asked, frowning.

"I'm afraid there is a big loophole in this assessment, we have to go back to the Ember Fort immediately, and then urgently recruit all the assessment students, you can also come and help." Bard said to Roland, a slight seriousness on his gentle face.

"Should we crush the Signal Stone first and inform the nearby high-ranking examiner about what's going on here?" Alan asked, looking worried at Bard.

"Isn't the examiner already dead inside?" Bard said, frowning.

"How do you know......

"The examiner died inside?"
