Chapter 265: Choice
"That's right!"
Ellie smiled and said: "This map is the standard answer, generally speaking, the trial time of the first level is one month, and within a month, the knights participating in the trial must destroy the bandit nest and return to the royal capital to complete the trial." β
"Within a month?"
Lin Bai's eyes narrowed, and his first reaction when he looked at the map was to directly eliminate all the red dots in the distance, so there were more than 20 red dots left closest to Wang Du, so which of these 20 red dots was stronger or weaker?
"Looks like you've got the point. β
Ellie pointed to a red dot that was not too far away from the king, and was not too close, and said: "My suggestion is that you choose this evil dragon village as the target, although his leader is a platinum second-order intermediate profession, a double sword master, but it is a bandit den that has just appeared this year, and the overall strength is weak, although there are five thousand people, but most of the cottages are rabble." β
"Platinum Second Order ......"
Lin Bai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the king will only give us 500 people, so how can we defeat the other party's five thousand people and one platinum second order with five hundred people?"
Ellie shook her head and said: "Although the rules say that you must destroy each other, but now the rules have been changed a long time ago, because in most cases it is impossible to exterminate all of you, so the final ranking is generally calculated based on the number of kills and the degree of destruction of the cottage, and the last place will be eliminated directly." β
"I see. β
Lin Bai nodded, he finally understood why he had carried out such an unscientific trial, after all, those bandit nests that had not been exterminated by the army, it was simply impossible for them to take five hundred people to suppress the bandits.
If Lin Bai is not mistaken.
This level is indeed a test of everyone's intelligence, and it is indeed a difficult thing to achieve and get out of the game with only a team of 500 people.
"What if someone really exterminated all the bandits?"
Lin Bai couldn't help but ask curiously, although it was really difficult to do, but if someone really did it, wouldn't there be no reward?
"It's impossible!"
Ellie directly denied it, but still added: "If someone really exterminates a bandit nest, then according to the rules, you can directly become a general, if you become a general, it is far more noble than the guardian knight." β
"One last question. β
Lin Bai asked his last question: "Since we can know this simplest bandit cave, won't the other people who participated in the trial know about it?"
"Of course not!"
Ellie smiled confidently and said: "With their means, they may be able to get last year's map, but they are not likely to get the latest updated map, and this bandit den was newly added this month, plus this map is now only seen by the father, the queen mother, and the people in the dark part of the kingdom, of course they can't know." β
Waving her pink fist, Ellie smiled slightly: "I won't let you bear all this alone, my father and mother will be solved by me, all I need to do is to work hard to become a guardian knight, and then become a general, and then make a contribution, so that you can ......"
Without going on, Ellie blushed and said, "Please remember the red dot I told you, when you are asked to make a choice in seven days, you must choose here, even if you don't kill the leader, you only need to kill more rabble to make up the number and you will definitely be able to pass the level." β
Lin Bai nodded solemnly: "I know, I will do as you order." β
"Then rest well, my knight. Ellie smiled with satisfaction, rolled up the map again, said goodbye, and left.
Without doubting him, Lin Bai watched Ellie's departure.
I have to admit that if it weren't for Ellie's help, I'm afraid that he would have lost this trial from the beginning, as long as you think about it, you can know that everyone is driving last year's plug-in, and he plans to follow the rules to compete fairly with others?
If you're lucky, you'll find a bandit nest with an average level of danger.
If you are unlucky, you will choose the one that is closest to the royal capital, but there are diamond-level masters, tens of thousands of elites, and it will be light if the trial is not completed, and it is true that you will give away your life.
After all, according to the stipulated time, it is only one month.
If it is not completed within a month, according to the general brain circuit, it must be to lock on to the nearest bandit nest immediately before others can answer, and completely ignore other factors.
"Sure enough, it's scary. β
Lin Bai sighed, sincerely thanking Ellie for her dedication to him, all he had to do now was to wait, wait for the arrival in seven days, and then get the least dangerous bandit nest, a safe and complete trial.
Time passed, in a flash.
The sound of the rain woke up the sleeping Lin Bai, and after six days of rest, Lin Bai finally ushered in the early morning of the seventh day, although the weather did not look too good, but Lin Bai still arrived at the council hall on time.
The so-called council hall is a place used to discuss the affairs of the kingdom.
Similar to the Taihe Hall where the Qing Dynasty court is located, as soon as you enter the main hall, you can see the civil and military ministers on both sides, probably the situation is no different from the ancient court, the eighteenth sits high on the golden luan, looks very majestic.
"See Your Majesty!"
After a salute, standing in the center of the main hall with Lin Bai were glass and two other young men about twenty-seven or eight years old, one in silver knight armor, one in black knight armor, even Bo Lin was dressed in light armor, only Lin Bai was still wearing a mage robe, which seemed incompatible with the main hall.
"Your Majesty, everything is ready. β
Old William walked out from the right and said to the Eighteenth: "May I ask Your Majesty can you announce the specific assessment content of the first level of this knight trial now?"
"Announce it. β
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
With a wave of his hand, the two guards of the Forbidden Palace with swords immediately carried a huge map that was hung on a shelf, and placed it in the center of the hall, reflecting everyone's field of vision.
"Ahem!"
After coughing twice, Old William said: "I think you have heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess's guardian knight Rhodes has been sacrificed in the Half Moon Forest, so with the approval of His Majesty the King, this knight trial is specially held. β
After a pause and a glance at the four of them, William said, "The candidates for the trial are the Yodele family, Bolin Β· Yodel, the Britson family, Orin Brisson, the Thatchers family, Monin Thatches, and Her Royal Highness Ellie, Lin Bai participated in this trial. β
"Wait!"
I saw a man dressed as a military attache suddenly stand up and said: "Lord William, the guardian knights have always been selected from Zhongliang, why did a civilian come in this time? And listening to his name, it seems that he is not from the rain country, when can the knight trial be allowed to participate in the cat and dog at will?"
despised Lin Bai mercilessly, but Lin Bai didn't pay attention to it.
Because this matter was promised to him by the Eighteenth Emperor, he will definitely not be disqualified because of this military attache who suddenly came out without saying a word, so there is no need to worry about this completion.
Everything was as Lin Bai expected.
Before William could speak, the eighteenth spoke first: "This matter is so decided, this is the meaning of the lonely king, do you have any other opinions?"
Let's go!
The military attache immediately knelt down and shouted in succession: "Your Majesty doesn't dare! It's your subordinates who are stupid, Your Majesty is wise and mighty, how can it be that your subordinates can figure it out with the prince." β
With that, the military attache immediately retreated to his original position.
This is the rain country where the imperial power is supreme, and the courtiers can give their opinions, but the final decision is always in the hands of the king, and if the king vetoes it, then anyone's opposition is useless.
All this did not affect Lin Bai, nor did it affect William.
He didn't even look at the military attachΓ© before he continued to announce: "The position of guardian knight is related to the glory of the royal family, so as usual, there are three levels of knight trials, and now the first level can be made public. β
Hold up a piece of silk cloth filled with words.
William solemnly read out: "The first level of this knight trial, the task of suppressing bandits!"
Immediately after, in a loud voice, William said in a slow voice: "The task time limit is one month, and each participant in the trial is free to choose the bandit nest they want to exterminate, but they must return to the king within a month to be regarded as abstaining, if all the trialists are to destroy the bandits' nest, and finally judge the ranking this time by the number of bandits killed and the degree of destruction of the bandits' nest, and the last place will be directly eliminated." β
William read out the rules that Ellie had spoken about seven days earlier, word for word.
Then he glanced at everyone and said: "These are the rules, the following is free question time, the time limit is five minutes, after five minutes, you will start to choose the bandit nest freely, choose not in first order, first come, first served, now the timer begins." β
Hearing this, Lin Bai let out a sigh of relief.
Because everything is as Ellie said, not even a word has changed in terms of rules, even the map is an enlarged version of that day, there is not a single change on it, everything is exactly as Ellie said!
"Is this what it feels like to be open?"
The corners of Lin Bai's mouth pulled up a smile, and he had already locked his eyes on the bandit nest in the Evil Dragon Ridge, and he would just choose there step by step, and then kill thousands of people in accordance with the rules, as long as he was not at the bottom, he could pass the test smoothly.
5...... 4...... 3......
When the time is up to the last minute, the next person gives each person a dart, and when the last grain of sand of the hourglass falls on the ground, it is time for them to start choosing.
That's right!
Just by nailing a dart to the circle of one of them, you have made your choice and everything is in an instant, even before the trial begins, and the organizers start planning the atmosphere of competition.
