Alan felt dizzy, when he opened his eyes again, he found that he was already in a dark room, the walls were stacked with stone bricks, although it looked like it had been cleaned and tidyed, but the whole room still smelled of damp and rotten, as if it had not been inhabited for a long time, and the portal they came in was on the wall behind them, at this moment the portal was still in a black mirror state, and at the same time the wall was painted with poor painting skills A red door, but the painting faintly exuded powerful magic fluctuations, obviously not just a painting on the wall, and the top of the painting was a smiling goddessThe goddess seems to be holding something in her hand, but the hand of the goddess portrait only has a disc-shaped depression, and it seems that it should need to be put into Badna's disc to activate the portal from here.

"Please come with me," said a voice with no emotion.

Alan and his party were taken aback, and then they realized that the person who spoke was actually a child-sized stone man, but when he didn't speak, it was no different from ordinary stones, so everyone didn't notice it for a while.

"We are the magical lifeforms who manage this castle, Little Stone Man, you will rest here for the night tonight, and the assessment will officially start tomorrow morning, if you need any supplies tonight or in the assessment, you can also tell us, we will try to satisfy you within our ability." The little stone man bowed awkwardly, and then staggered as if he was not used to his body.

"What about the other students?" Roland asked curiously.

"They were all taken by my brothers to their quarters, and then the quarters were separated to avoid trouble. The little stone man replied decently, and at the same time flashed the little hand that Goh He grabbed at him out of curiosity.

"So can we visit the quarters of other races?" Alan stopped the curious Go-hyuk slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then asked the little stone man with some trepidation.

"Yes, but please keep in mind that any form of fighting is forbidden here, and any student who fights in the castle will be disqualified from the examination and will be imprisoned in an underground stone dungeon by my brother until the end of the examination. Xiao Shiren said without emotional fluctuations.

"......" Everyone was silent for a moment, although they would not break the rules, but this clumsy little stone man in front of him really didn't look like he had any combat power, his brother could really stop the troublesome students?

At this time, as if to answer the doubts in their hearts, a huge stone man appeared at the intersection in front of them, the stone man was three meters tall, his body was so strong that he could almost fill the entire passage, and he was holding a huge battle axe that could almost cover Allen, and he was wearing armor that seemed to be purely decorative.

"That's my brother, it's best not to challenge him lightly. Little Rock's voice still didn't fluctuate, but Alan always felt that there was a slight mockery in his voice.

......

"If you don't have a name written on the door, you can move in, you can write your name directly on the door after checking in, if you haven't found a good team, remember to find it tonight, you must register as a team before you can go out of the city tomorrow, the food will be sent to you later, if there is any request to knock directly on the wall of the passage, we will hear, then, please rest as soon as possible, good night." The little stone man said plainly but smoothly, bowed awkwardly again before staggering away.

The crowd quickly settled on two rooms, each with four beds and simple furniture, although it was not a place to rest easily, but it would be enough for one night, and Ge He and Caroline were relatively small, and one bed for two people was enough.

"Ahem, I'll go out for a while. After everyone was settled, Alan greeted Roland and Richie, who was in the same room, and walked out.

"Aren't you going along?" Rowling saw Erys looking out through the crack in the door in the room, but she didn't follow Alan until she walked away, just silently looked at Allen's back, so she asked with concern.

"Let's go together, but where is Eren going?" Ge He also curiously pulled his little friend forward and asked, obviously coming to a fresh place made Ge He a little excited, after all, the little female dragon spent hundreds of years in the mountain palace, if you even count the eggs.

"Well, he's probably going to the elven quarters. Cialis smiled with mixed emotions, shook her head and returned to her bed, everyone saw that Cialis didn't want to say more and stopped asking anything, and even Ge He, who wanted to ask, was directly pulled away by Caroline.

......

"I want to see your Princess Alevia, please help me out. Alan politely said to the elf guarding the corridor in front of him, after all, the elves are still not worried about the people of other races, even if there are already stone people guarding, they still send people to take turns to guard the elves' residential area, after all, there are royal families and nobles among them, even if they can't fight, they must prevent people from other races from disturbing them.

"Human, princesses are not something you can see if you want to. The elf boy was holding back the fire in his stomach because of bad luck, so he said angrily.

"I had a friendship with your princess. Eren wasn't surprised, after all, he had lived in the Twilight Forest for a while, and knew that the elves were almost paranoid about other races.

"Joke, our princess usually lives in the depths of the Twilight Forest, what kind of friendship can we have with you short-lived species?" The elven boy scoffed at Alan's words, the elves rarely communicated with other clans except for trade, let alone Princess Ainevia, who was a royal family.

"I once entered the Elven Ancient Tree with my teacher Benjamin, removed the diseases that lived in Cang's body, rescued Princess Ainevia, and then lived in the Twilight Forest for a short time, is this a friendship?" Alan said patiently with a smile.

"This ......" The elf boy hesitated, the Twilight Star Forest is very vast, and the elves are also scattered in the form of settlements, so he hasn't actually seen Princess Ainivia before, but he has also heard the news that Mr. Cang is seriously ill, after all, he is a hero in wartime, so the news about Mr. Cang has been passed on to some extent, as for whether Ainivia has been trapped in it, he really doesn't know. However, since the human being in front of him knew the news that Mr. Cang was seriously ill, he would not tell such a lie that would be exposed at once.

"You're really not giving up, short-lived. As the elven boy hesitated, a voice came from the direction of the elven quarters, it was Alan's familiar voice, an obnoxious voice.

"Why, Irul, do you finally have the courage to leave your tortoise shell and want to fight me?" Alan said mockingly at the figure that came out.

「...... Hmph, I'm not going to have a verbal argument with you, and I don't dare to stir up a dispute here anyway, unless you want to be kicked out of the assessment. Eloll choked up, but said to Eren as if nothing had happened.

"Yes, you're just hiding behind others anyway, and I don't have anything to say to a coward like you. Alan said sharply, the moment he saw Eloul, he knew that he wouldn't be able to see Ainevia tonight, and the anger he had been holding back couldn't help but vent out, since he couldn't do it, it was good to scold a few words.

"Human, pay attention to your words, if you want to fight, I can fight with you when you get out of the castle. The elven boy on guard couldn't listen anymore, and frowned and stepped forward to say to Allen, holding the hilt of the elven rapier, as if he was about to stab Allen at the slightest disagreement.

"Hmph, just hide. Alan took a few steps back, he couldn't fight with them at this time, anyway, he had time after the assessment began, and he didn't have to be busy tonight.

"This man must not enter the elven settlement, or you know the consequences. Elo commanded the elven boy, then ignored Eren and walked straight back.

The guarding elf cautiously waited until Eren left his sight before leaving the hilt of the sword, and he was also a little relieved in his heart, the matter involving the royal family and the Duke of Aize was not something they could do, and it was naturally best to be able to solve it.

"It seems that it should be that Aruel is stumbling in the way of Alevia's reaction, and it seems that she will have to find time to contact Aleva alone, but she is a princess after all, and it may not be so simple to find an opportunity. Eren didn't have much of a frustrated expression, after all, he had long expected that he would be shut out, a strange human asked to see their noble elf princess, the success rate was not high, but it was the appearance of Aruel so quickly that Eren had some guesses, it seems that Aluel is also paying attention to his movements.

Alan returned to the human settlement, and was surprised to find that Hylis was looking around in the hallway, and only trotted over when she saw herself, and it seemed that she was waiting for him.

"What's wrong? Why don't you get a good rest?" Alan said a little unnaturally, feeling a little weak in his heart.

"Someone is looking for you. Rather than trying to pursue him out, Hylis said with some apprehension, as if she were an unfriendly villain.

「...... Is that you?" Alan pushed open the door to his room, then immediately frowned and said in a hostile tone.
