Chapter 7: The Road to Testing (1)
Jiarong happily started to climb the mountain, but before he could take a few steps, a voice came from behind: "Hey, you wait for me, why are you walking so fast?"
Jiarong had no choice but to stop, turned around, and saw Jia Sibo carrying a super big bag on his back, and chased after him with a big bag in his hand.
"You said you're fourteen years old, and you're older than me. Jasbo's big round face had turned red, "Don't you think you should help the weak?"
In normal times, Jiarong is happy to help, but the nagging on the boat just now made Jiarong a little unhappy, and he felt that he should charge some interest. "Do you really want me to help you?"
Jasbo nodded and gasped.
"Do you know why the temple stipulates that family members can only be sent to the lake at most, and students must report alone?"
Jasbo shook his head.
"Because the temple's observation of the student begins here, such as whether the student is independent, strong, ......"
"You don't have to help me, I can do it myself. Jasbo said resolutely, and then began to climb the mountain with one drag on his back.
Jiarong smiled and Mimi walked behind: "Why don't I help you get a bag, so that they will think that I am more friendly and helpful." ”
"Don't. Jasbo resolutely refused, and walked a few steps forward, widening the distance between him and Jiarong, as if Jiarong was a villain who wanted to steal his things. But after a few steps, his body began to stumble.
Jiarong sighed in the back, just to go to school, not to move, is it necessary to prepare so much luggage for the children? After paying the tuition, the temple is in charge of eating, drinking, and living, and it is said that there are even clothes for the four seasons of the year.
She silently recited a Hercules mantra and blessed Jasbo.
is constantly chanting "I want to work hard, I want to work hard, I want to perform well" Jia Sibo suddenly felt that his strength had increased greatly, and the big bag that was as heavy as a mountain seemed to have become a lot lighter.
"It turns out that faith really gives people strength. He was overjoyed and strode forward.
Walk up the long staircase to the top of the slope to the grand temple hall, which is a place of worship for the people and for the priests, not the destination of today.
So they did not enter the main hall, and Jiarong explained his intention to a deacon at the door, and the deacon pointed them to a nearby boulevard.
Walking along the boulevard to the other gate, you can see the towering white tower and the imposing black boulder behind it, as well as the buildings surrounding it.
The janitor standing at the door seemed surprised that someone was still reporting at this time. Because today is the last day of the temple's annual enrollment of students, there are still people who arrive in the afternoon.
"Letter of introduction. "The janitor didn't let them in right away. Children who are not nobles need a letter of recommendation from an archmage to be eligible for admission. Judging by the clothes of these two people, they are definitely not from aristocratic background, because neither of them has an embroidered family emblem on their clothes.
The two pulled out their letters of introduction. The janitor took it, but didn't open it, "You wait." Then he ran to one of the buildings inside.
After a while, he returned with two young men in robes.
"Jasbo, from the apprenticeship class, come with me. One of the young men in the robe said that when he saw Jia Sibo's big bag, he reached out and was ready to help.
"Teacher, no, no, I can do it myself. Jasbo refused.
"Your name is Jiarong, and you want to go directly to the advanced class?" another robed young man looked at the young man in front of him.
"Yes. ”
"Advanced classes are not something you can get in if you want to, you have to go through tests. Come with me. The robe youth's voice was rather cold.
After a while, I came to a house. The young man in the robe pointed to the house behind him: "Welcome to the test path, you enter through the door, keep walking forward, and go out at the back door." The test path will give you a grade and place you into the appropriate class. ”
Jiarong looked at the house behind the young man: a solid-looking stone house with white-painted walls. The gate is open, and you can see a long passage leading to the back door, which is also open to see the lilacs planted in the backyard yard.
"Just walk through this aisle?" Jia Rong looked at the spacious aisle without any items, and felt strange.
There is no mysterious and noble instrument, no inscrutable old priest who comes out to test her ten or eight problems?
The robed young man nodded: "You can leave your luggage here, and take the witch wand with you." ”
Jiarong put down his backpack, and the winged rabbit who had eaten lunch and slept in the backpack poked his head out, "This?"
"Your magic pet?" the robed youth frowned, "The Antlerwinged Rabbit is not a good choice, it is not very useful. ”
"No, I picked it up on the road. Jia Rong doubted that the antler-winged rabbit could understand human speech. Because when the youth said it was useless, it jumped on Jiarong's shoulder, and then snorted at the robed youth.
"You can bring it in, but you have to bring it yourself. The robed youth frowned and agreed, "Go ahead." ”
Jiarong walked to the gate, involuntarily took a deep breath, and clenched the witch staff in his hand.
Since this is called the "test road", it naturally cannot really be an ordinary aisle. Could it be that the test is to see if your walking posture is good?
She cautiously stepped forward with her left foot. There was no movement. Nothing has changed.
One more step forward. Aisle or aisle.
Jiarong took another step. The moment your foot hits the ground, everything around you changes.
She was in a desert where sand and clumps of dry and twisted bushes stretched as far as the eye could see. The bushes were dead, but the long spikes were still as sharp and hard as needles. Under the scorching sun, the air inhaled into the nose is dry and hot.
The winged rabbit on its shoulder also felt the change in its environment, and its paws gripped Jiarong's shoulder restlessly.
"Don't be afraid. It's all an illusion. Jiarong reached out and touched it.
As she walked forward, she thought, "What is this going to test? Is it to test my climate control skills, to see if I can summon clouds and rain on the desert......
Soon she knew what the first "exam question" was.
Because there was a man lying on the sand in front of him, his body was in an unnatural twist. Jiarong walked over quickly and saw a yellow spider crawling down his arm.
Wandering spiders, because of their beautiful yellow bodies, are also called banana spiders, known as the world's most venomous spiders.
"Disappear!" Jia Rong raised his wand and chanted a vanishing spell at the spider, feeling that it would be better to use a petrification charm.
Because the vanishing spell is to make things disappear in this space, and then randomly drop in another space. What if it happens to fall on someone's head?
Ahem, I can't care so much, the top priority is to save people. Because he was bitten by a wandering spider, the effective rescue time was only ten minutes.
