- "Run!"

Lin Bai guessed the beginning, but he never guessed that it was such an unfolding!

Although it was indeed quite suspicious to see Bolin's appearance of wanting to speak at first, after all, it was originally a difficult thing to make a guy who was usually simple and manic, exposing his heart to his face anytime and anywhere, put on such a tangled appearance, which was equivalent to directly telling Lin Bai that he had something, and it was a big deal.

But what's going on with this big deal?

Even if the sky falls, there is a tall one, and even the eighteenth is ready to take Huairou means to make Lin Bai leave obediently, so is there anyone else in this country who can make him turn around and run away directly?

Could it be the legendary sword master of the Rain Country?

If Lin Bai heard correctly, even the Sword Saint had to obediently obey the king's orders, in this country where the king was supreme and his word was high, Lin Bai really couldn't think of anyone else who could force him to turn around and run away.

"What the hell is going on?"

Although it was unbelievable, Lin Bai still asked casually: "If I heard correctly, the king has already approved me to participate in the knight trial, and as long as I pass, I can stay by Ellie's side, who is going to attack me at this time?"

"The problem lies in this knightly trial. ”

Bolin slapped the stone table, sat down on the chair and said, "Although I really don't have any affection for you, if you die, Kaguya-sama will definitely kill me, so you might as well run away, because the problem lies in this knight's trial." ”

"Isn't it because you let me run away because there are powerful competitors?"

Lin Bai only thought of this possibility: "If that's the case, then don't worry, even if it's a platinum third order, I am confident that I can win this final trial, but I have already made a promise to Ellie." ”

"You're taking it for granted. ”

A trace of hesitation flashed on Bolin's face, and finally said: "Before, Grandpa William let me go out a little, about the knight trial in seven days, I heard some bad news, although Grandpa William asked me never to tell you, but I think it is better to tell you in advance, let you give up this trial." ”

Lin Bai did not panic, but calmly picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip gently.

Bolin saw Lin Bai's calm appearance and immediately became angry: "Do you really understand the situation you want to be in? Now that the king wants to kill you, don't you care at all about the knight's trial?"

If it weren't for Kaguya, this kind of person would have let him die, anyway, they were originally competitors, thinking about the opponent or something, even if he wanted to do it, the opponent probably wouldn't appreciate it, but Lin Bai's next words were beyond his expectations.

Lin Bai put down the water glass, then looked at Bolin and said: "Thank you for worrying, but even I, a person with insufficient IQ balance, can guess this kind of thing when the trial is manipulated, and of course I understand the danger, but it has reached this point, even if the king wants me to slay the dragon, I must go." ”

After a pause, Lin Bai stood up.

He raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky, and after a few seconds, he said leisurely: "This life, if you don't gamble your life to make a crazy fuss, is it still life?"

A gambler's smile was revealed.

It was the exclusive smile of the craziest gambler who put all his chips and his life on the table, and the person who showed this smile was equivalent to announcing that even if it was eternal night ahead, he would go all the way.

Because, he has nothing.

A person who has nothing is terrible, and having nothing to lose means that there is nothing to fear him, and the so-called fear is nothing but the human mind that gains and loses.

- Fear of losing your current life, fear of losing your family and friends, fear of losing your life.

When all of these things have been abandoned, then even if the person in front of you is absolutely invincible, because there is nothing, so fearlessness is not only in comics.

"I'm not as good as you. ”

Bolin also stood up and said: "To be crazy to this extent for His Highness Ellie, I admit that I will never be able to do it, maybe I will sacrifice my heart for the kingdom, but that is the reason for the fear of losing the glory of the family after all, and it is definitely not simply for the sake of His Highness Ellie." ”

After a pause, the look of struggle in Bolin's eyes had disappeared: "Since you have made up your mind, then we will be real competitors from tomorrow onwards, but I, Bolin, am not the kind of person who takes advantage of people's dangers, and I will never participate in their encirclement and suppression plan, please rest assured." ”

Revealing a little bit of information, Boleyn turned to leave.

However, when he came to the corner, Bolin suddenly stopped, and then said: "The only thing I can remind you is that this time His Majesty is going to kill you, so don't trust the so-called rules, don't trust anyone." ”

- "Remember!

After a solemn reminder, Bolin disappeared completely, although it didn't seem to provide any useful information, but at least Lin Bai raised his vigilance a little.

"Don't trust the rules, don't trust anyone. ”

Lin Bai chewed these two sentences repeatedly in his mouth, although he still didn't understand the true meaning, but Lin Bai had already taken his words to heart, and raised his vigilance by twelve points.

"Shiro, what are you not believing in?"

A voice as beautiful as a music box suddenly came from behind her, and Ellie, who was dressed in a jewel blue princess dress and was as delicate as a rose, asked with a kind and beautiful smile from far and near.

"Ai ...... Ellie?"

Lin Bai was slightly stunned, although he had always known that Ellie was as beautiful as an angel before, but after dressing up, even if he tried all the words of praise, it was impossible to say all of them, Lin Bai was slightly stunned.

"Shiro, are you okay?"

Ellie lifted the hem of her skirt, walked two steps quickly, stretched out her slender and childish palm and put it on Lin Bai's forehead: "It's really a little hot, is it because of the fatigue of the boat and the fever?

"It's okay, it's totally fine!"

Of course, Lin Bai wouldn't tell Ellie that he had never been treated like this by a woman, and he blushed because he was shy, so he could only push: "Ai ...... Ellie, it's already so late, aren't you ready to rest?"

"Hmm~"

Ellie rubbed her eyes like a lazy cat and said, "I'm really a little tired, but I didn't see you before I went to bed, and I'm still a little unaccustomed to it, so when I came back, I came to the outer hall to see if you were resting." ”

"No, not used to it...... There will be some unaccustomed to it. Lin Bai stammered.

Ellie's eyes lit up suddenly: "Sure enough, Bai will not be used to it?" Great, before I came, I was worried about whether it would disturb your rest, and I am relieved if you say this, but in order to save me from coming to the outer hall every day, I also ask my knight to win after the trial in seven days, so that you can live directly in the inner hall and guard my side all the time." ”

"Uh-huh!"

Lin Bai patted his chest and said, "This is a matter of course, I will definitely defeat all competitors and become your guardian knight, we said okay!"

"Well, yes!"

Ellie said happily: "So in order for you to succeed in becoming my guardian knight, I have good news for you, hehe~"

As an invitation, Ellie showed a cute smile that only appears when she is alone.

As she spoke, she put her hand in her sleeve, and then took out a map: "This is the news that I have worked so hard and spent all night to get from the queen mother. ”

Open the map, this is the map of the entire territory of the rain country.

On the map, there are several places circled with red dots, Ellie pointed to one of the dots and said, "This is the first level of the previous knight trial!"

"The first level?" Lin Bai asked puzzled.

Ellie nodded and said: "Generally speaking, the content of the previous knight trials will not change, although the content of the test has always been kept secret from the outside world, but it is not difficult for me, this is the first level of the knight trial, suppress the bandits!"

"Bandits?"

"That's right!

Ellie said solemnly: "Banditry, also known as the intelligence level, is a standard team of 500 people assigned by the king to each knight participating in the trial, and the strength of all of them is about the first order of silver, and the task of suppressing bandits is carried out. ”

"No one should fail this kind of level, right?"

Lin Bai was a little puzzled, because according to his understanding, the so-called bandits and bandits were just a group of rabble, and in the case of the group of bandits who attacked Ellie last time, the most powerful one was only a mere Golden Third Order.

As if to see through Lin Bai's thoughts, Ellie patted the map and said, "Please don't compare the rabble last time with the bandits' nest marked on the map, these are the real bandits who are helpless even in the kingdom!"

Pointing to one of the circles, he said: "This is the closest bandit nest to the royal capital, their leader has the strength of the second order of diamonds, and occupies the right time and place, even the sword master himself let the other party escape, this is the real bandit, so please cheer up!"

Dumbfounded.

Lin Bai swallowed his saliva and said, "Since it is so powerful, then wouldn't it be death for us fledgling knights to suppress bandits? ”

"Of course!"

Ellie smiled slightly, knocked a little on the map and said: "All the secrets are in this map, not all bandit nests are as powerful as this one, so the key to passing the first level is to choose a bandit nest with the best chance to conquer with intelligence within the specified time." ”

Lin Bai's eyes lit up.

He immediately understood the key: "In other words, is this map the 'standard answer'?"
