"Miss Artoria, good work. [Latest chapter reading.]"

Artoria stepped down from the Suzaku trap and saw Wang Liumei greet her and said to her.

"Assistant Wang. ”

The Knight King Maiden nodded slightly at her.

For this woman, her senses are not very good. I always felt that there was something hidden behind the other party's smile, which made her a little uncomfortable.

Wang Liumei didn't care about her coldness, and said with a smile: "I'm here to convey the dean's instructions." ”

With that, she walked past Artoria and walked towards the teenagers who were looking around curiously. Artoria followed behind her.

Wang Liumei came to stand still in front of the teenagers, didn't speak, just looked at them quietly.

Seeing this, Artoria stepped forward and said loudly, "Everyone, please be quiet!"

Her voice quieted down the originally noisy teenagers, who looked up at the two girls in front of them.

With a faint smile on her face, Wang Liumei said to these teenagers: "I am the assistant dean of the Supreme Dean, and I have come to convey to you the arrangements of His Excellency the dean. According to the order of His Excellency the Dean, you will stay here for the night tonight, and the examination will officially begin tomorrow morning. We've got everything you need, and it's safe, so you don't have to worry about anything. ”

After saying that, she ignored the reactions of the others, and turned around and walked towards the ladder with a graceful posture.

Artoria glanced at the teenagers with some concern, and then turned to follow.

Although she wanted to stay and help them, she didn't dare to act without the dean's order. And she is also faintly aware of it, which seems to be a test for Wei Ziqi.

The two stepped onto the ladder one after the other, and then the figure disappeared in an instant.

Then, a Suzaku fluttered its wings and flew towards the ladder in turn, disappearing from the sight of the teenagers.

In an instant, the teenagers who were originally quiet suddenly exploded.

"They left us alone!"

"Damn. They left us alone in the 100,000 mountains. ”

"I've heard that in the 100,000 mountains, there will be a large number of fierce beasts at night. If we stay here like this, we're bound to be attacked by beasts. ”

The teenagers were either indignant, panicked, or thoughtful, and behaved in different ways.

At this moment, a group of elemental golems walked down the ladder, still carrying something in their hands.

A young man's eyes lit up, as if he had seen a savior, and he rushed forward, stopped the elemental puppet in the lead, and asked loudly, "Hey, what do you want to do? I want to see the dean!"

Stopped by him, the elemental golem stopped, didn't speak, and just stood quietly.

The young man thought that his actions had played a role, and suddenly his mood became even higher, and he said loudly, "Hey, you guy! Take me to the dean!"

The other teenagers all fell silent, staring coldly at the scene, waiting to see what would happen to this kid.

In the main hall of the dean's palace, Wei Ziqi sat on a chair, his right hand supporting his head, and lazily looked at the image projected in the center of the hall.

Seeing this scene, his eyes froze: "Idiot." ”

At the same time, he secretly sentenced the young man to death in his heart.

Artoria stood beside him, wanting to speak again and again, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Your Excellency, will it be a little ...... to do this?"

"What?" Wei Ziqi didn't raise his eyelids, and said lightly, "Think my approach is a little cold-blooded?"

"Nope. Artoria hurriedly said, then hesitated, and said, "It's just that they are still children." ”

"Child?" heard Artoria's words, Wei Ziqi scoffed.

He straightened up, turned to face Artoria, stared at the girl's dignified and beautiful face, and said in an accentuated tone, "Leah, you have to remember. In this world, no one can get preferential treatment. Like this beast wave, would those beasts show mercy to their men because they were children? When I was on the city walls, I saw more than once that the beasts broke through the front line and rushed into the rear to slaughter them. There were children and women who died in the claws of those fierce beasts. But so what?"

Artoria's face turned pale, but she still insisted: "But isn't our duty to protect these weak people?"

"No, we're not obligated to protect anyone. Besides, can you always protect them?" Wei Ziqi slowly approached and said softly, "So, they can only rely on themselves. Only by constantly being strong can we be qualified to survive. This world is like this, strength is respected, and the weak do not have any right to speak. As for protection, it is nothing more than an occasional handout from the strong to the weak. ”

Wei Ziqi turned around, looked at the scene on the light and shadow, and said lightly: "I gave them the opportunity to become strong." But if they still want to receive such alms, then I don't mind showing kindness once in a while. ”

He glanced back at Artoria, who was staring blankly at the light, and said, "If you want me to do this, I can give them a choice." Whether to accept my handout, or to seize this opportunity to become strong. ”

Artoria looked at the young man in the light and shadow, pursed her lips, and her expression gradually became firm: "Maybe you are right, but I will still stand up for my will." As a king, you should protect your people. ”

Wei Ziqi shook his head and said meaningfully: "Maybe sometimes, the king should also let his people learn how to protect themselves. ”

After speaking, he walked down the steps, stood in the main hall, put his hands behind his back, and said lightly: "All the people who came to be assessed, I am Wei Ziqi, the dean of the Supreme Academy. Now, I give you a choice. If you are afraid that you want to give up the assessment, you can go up the ladder, and the dean will teleport you to the academy, and then send you back to Youfeng Town tomorrow. The choice is up to you. ”

Outside the ladder, the boy was still facing off against the elemental golem.

After the elemental puppet stopped for a while, the human in front of it had no intention of getting out of the way, and suddenly took another step and walked straight forward.

The boy didn't expect it to move suddenly, and he couldn't dodge, so he was knocked to the side by a strong force and sat on the ground.

"Hahaha!"

Some of the teenagers burst into laughter, making the teenager blush.

At the back of the crowd, Liu Chu looked at the laughing teenagers with disdain: "It's all a bunch of fools." I bet they promise to be the first to be eliminated tomorrow. ”

Li Zeyang stood beside him, his gaze resting on those elemental puppets, and he didn't speak.

At this time, Wei Ziqi's majestic and loud voice sounded in the sky.

After listening to his words, the teenagers fell silent in an instant. But after a moment, the noise immediately resumed, and the noise was even louder than before.

Liu Chu turned his head and said to Li Zeyang with a mocking smile on his face: "It seems that we can't wait for tomorrow." Do you dare to bet with me, I promise, there will definitely be someone tonight who can't stand it and will give up. Hmph, that dean is definitely not just these pediatrics, I don't know what will happen at night. ”

Li Zeyang's eyelids drooped slightly, and he said lightly: "Boring." ”

With that, he walked forward.

He had already seen what those elemental golems were holding in their hands, and it was the same household item that the woman who claimed to be the assistant to the dean had said before.

"Hey, you don't believe me?"

Looking at his back, Liu Chu was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly chased after him, chattering beside the young man.

"I'll tell you, I've figured out what the dean will do tonight. Think about it, what kind of place is this? 100,000 mountains! What is the most 100,000 mountains? Fierce beasts! So I dare say that the dean will definitely make a fuss about the fierce beasts. If you don't believe me, we can bet. ”

Perhaps he really couldn't stand the verbosity of his companions around him, Li Zeyang stopped and turned his head to look at him: "What are you betting on?"

Liu Chu suddenly came to his senses: "You don't believe it, hum, since this is the case, then let's bet ......."

He thought about it, his eyes lit up, and he had an idea: "Who loses, how about helping each other do chores for a month after entering the academy?"

Li Zeyang took a deep look at him and continued to walk forward.

"Yes. ”

Liu Chu laughed, followed, and continued to chatter: "I definitely won this time." You just wait to help me do the laundry and cook every day. By the way, you guy can't even pass the assessment, won't I lose when the time comes. ”

"Don't worry, I'll definitely get into the academy. What you need to think about is how to help me do my laundry and cook when the time comes. ”

Li Zeyang countered in a flat tone.

"Cut! You're absolutely lost. ”

The two teenagers talked as they walked forward.

Night covered the land.

In the clearing, there was silence. Small tents were set up in the open space, and some of them could still see swaying figures.

In one of the small tents, Liu Chu was lying on the bed, his hands were pillowed under his head, his legs were crossed, and he shook and said, "It's really boring." I don't know when the dean will make a move. ”

On the other standing bed next to him, Li Zeyang sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, quietly pranayama.

Hearing Li Zeyang's voice, his eyelids moved, and he didn't speak.

Liu Chu said again: "I'm really curious." How many waves of beasts will the dean send to attack at night? one, two, three?"

Li Ze raised his eyebrows and twitched, but still did not speak.

Liu Chu continued: "Do you think that dean will just scare us, or will he really let the fierce beast attack us?"

Li Zeyang's whole face was shaking, but he still didn't speak.

"Alas!" Liu Chu suddenly sat up from the bed and said with a sad face, "I suddenly miss home a little." Although the old man was always babbling in my ear about cultivation, at least I could sleep in a soft big bed at night without being afraid of this place. ”

Li Zeyang couldn't hold back any longer, opened his eyes, and glared at him angrily: "Can't you be quiet?"

Liu Chu hurriedly raised his hands, and just as he was about to say something, he heard a wild roar sound outside, followed by a large number of chaotic exclamations. (To be continued.) )
