361. The ball at Christie Manor

The Knight Academy of Highlanza has three opportunities to evaluate the Warrior Rank each semester, at the beginning, midterm and at the end of the semester.

Since the warrior is not like a mage, every time he is promoted in rank, the magic pool in his body changes significantly. The warriors' perception of their own strength is not clear, and the daily unremitting exercise, strength, speed and physique are all imperceptibly enhanced, and the definition line is relatively vague, and the level evaluation has become the evaluation standard for the strength of the warriors of the Green Empire.

Many fighters will encounter bottlenecks when exercising, and they will look for breakthroughs in different ways. Therefore, it is necessary to have a clear understanding of their own strength.

The Knight Academy Grading Inspection Area is located in the Great Hall of the Academy, which is usually vacant and can only be used at the beginning of the semester, graduation ceremonies and war mobilization meetings.

There were many probationary knights waiting at the entrance of the auditorium, and young men and girls in thick winter clothes lined up at the door.

Surdak was accompanied by Assistant Coach Baplo to the door of the auditorium, and a group of trainee knights followed behind Surdak, which seemed to be huge, attracting the attention of many people, and seeing Surdak appear in front of the auditorium, everyone whispered to each other: How could the 'clerical knights' of the academy appear here?

There are two entrances to the auditorium, the left entrance is full of cadet knights from the academy, and the right side is deserted.

Assistant Teacher Paplo saw Surdak stop in confusion, so he explained to him: "There are two magic crystals for the level test, one is used to evaluate the level of warriors below level nine, and the other is to evaluate the level of warriors above one turn...... Feed! Knight of Surdak. ”

Surdak strode towards the entrance of the test area, and Assistant Coach Paplo caught up from behind and grabbed Surdak's arm, worried that he would go to the wrong entrance and wait for someone to blast him out.

Seeing that Assistant Coach Papulo kept glaring at him, Surdak asked Assistant Coach Papulo suspiciously, "What's the matter, Assistant Coach Paplo, should the warrior level evaluation be evaluated from below level 9 first?" ”

"Of course not, but it's specially prepared for fighters who turn more than one turn, have you already comprehended the 'potential'?"

Surdak glanced at Assistant Coach Paplo lightly, and his eyes were full of 'You only know now?' Then, in the stunned eyes of Assistant Coach Paplo, he walked into the warrior evaluation area.

Assistant Teacher Paplo thought that Surdak had been named and taken care of by the dean before, and he had a relationship with the guard battalion, and then thought that he was probably already a member of the guard battalion, so it would not be strange that he was already a member of the guard battalion, in that case, his strength had reached the level of a warrior.

It's just that I faced all kinds of doubts in the academy before? Silence all the time? will make everyone mistakenly think that Surdak is a 'clerical knight'.

The two evaluation areas are completely separated, and the auditorium seems a little empty? Even a little cold? There is a heating stove in front of the square table, and the charcoal fire inside is burning red? Two ladies in thick leather jackets sat at the square table and saw Surdak walk in? He asked:

"Name?"

"Surdak."

"Are you a knight or academy instructor?"

"Refresher knight."

One of the ladies glanced at Surdak? Looking at the badge of the Knight Academy on his chest, he walked to a wooden platform covered with a black curtain, and pulled the curtain open, and there was a magic crystal more than a foot long on the square table inside? The lady sits slowly at the square table? Pointing to the wooden platform on the side, he said, "Stand up and don't move, prepare for the magic crystal test, and let your body stay relaxed as much as possible." ”

At this time, Surdak realized that under the magic crystal was a two-foot square copper plate pedestal, and this copper plate was engraved with intricate magic runes? In addition, there is a red copper square pillar with various scales attached to the back of the magic crystal, almost half-encapsulating this transparent magic crystal? Through the magic crystal, you can vaguely see the scale inside.

As soon as Surdak was on the square platform, the lady uttered a short incantation? In the blink of an eye, a pillar of light fell overhead, startling Surdak? Didn't expect to be a magician? Not wearing your usual magic robes? It's really hard to tell.

Surdak couldn't help but move, the pillar of light illuminated his body red, and the transparent magic crystal on the square platform began to change color, and the crystal seemed to be filled with water, and the water level inside the crystal continued to rise until the water level stopped in the middle of the magic crystal.

The lady leaned over and took a serious look at it, and said to Surdak, "One turn fourteenth level is biased towards strength, and the suitable professions are shield warriors and heavy knights. ”

After speaking, he walked up to him, stamped a small red seal on his knight's badge and stamped it with a faint stamp, which was clearly printed with the words 'One Turn Fourteen', and then pinned the knight's badge back to Surdak's chest.

Seeing Surdak standing in place, the lady waved her hand very casually and said, "Okay! There's nothing you can get out of. ”

“……”

Surdak had wanted to ask about his ability to perceive the divine element, but when he saw the lady walk straight back to the fire and chat with another companion, he gave up and silently exited the auditorium.

Seeing Surdak coming out of the auditorium, among the trainee knights waiting for the evaluation of the level in the plane, those with good eyes have already seen that his knight badge is printed with the rank evaluation 'One Turn Fourteen'.

Ooh......

The entire entrance of the auditorium felt as if it was about to explode, and everyone cast extremely surprised glances at Surdak.

Someone is talking about it in private:

"The clerical knight is actually a mid-turn shield warrior......"

"Have you heard? The clerk knight is actually a turn warrior. ”

"No wonder he won the title of 'knight', with such strength, if he makes a few achievements on the battlefield, it is not difficult to win the honor of 'knight', after all, he speaks with strength."

"Tam, don't look at it, you can't do it!"

"Wait, I'm sure I can't do it now, but that doesn't mean I can't do it in the future, as long as I can comprehend the 'potential', I will become a knight."

"Wake up, you're only a ninth-level trainee warrior now, and you can't say these words until you become a ninth-level warrior."

Assistant Coach Paplo didn't know why he hadn't left before, and he was waiting here, probably to confirm whether Surdak was a warrior or not. Now that I finally waited for the answer, it turned out that there was really this kind of person who didn't make any excuses for himself no matter what was rumored outside, and he didn't seem to care about what others said. Watching Surdak slowly walk down the steps, Assistant Coach Paplo suddenly felt that the figure of the knight in front of him had become unusually tall.

The instructors in the Knight Academy can reach the strength of Surdak, and they can probably count it on one hand.

At least Paplo is in the bottleneck stage at this stage, and his strength will probably not improve until he realizes his 'potential'.

Assistant Coach Baplo followed Surdak up and said to him, "Knight Surdak, you are actually a mid-turn knight, and you have never mentioned it to the academy......"

Surdak didn't expect that he was already a fourteenth-level warrior, even though he had experienced a lot of things in the past few months, so that his strength had increased, but in the archives of the fifty-seventh heavy armored infantry regiment before, it should have been written as a seventh-level warrior, but in just a few months, he rushed to the strength of the middle of the first turn, and it still didn't make sense if he thought about it carefully.

Maybe you can talk about 'awakening the magic perception of the divine attribute halfway'.

Surdak smiled at Assistant Coach Paplo and said:

"In fact, I don't know what I am, I only know that I comprehended the 'potential' on the battlefield, and then for various reasons, I have not been able to evaluate the strength, and I am a little uncertain."

Assistant Teacher Paplor shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said, "Okay, with your current strength, as long as you can successfully pass the cultural class assessment in front of you, you will be able to successfully pass the graduation certificate issued by the Knight Academy." ”

"It feels so much lighter to hear you say that."

The two left the academy auditorium while chatting.

……

The city of Hylanza is located in the Talapakant region west of the province of Bena, which is connected to the Paglos Mountains, which are a branch of the edge of the Paglos Mountains, and the inhabitants of the city of Hylanza call the mountain at their feet the camel mountain, mainly because the peak looks like the back of a dromedary from a distance.

Located on the highest point in the city of Highlandza, 1 Central Street is a castle made of gray rock that rises from the ground and almost merges with the entire mountain town.

Surdak stepped down from the magic caravan and found that there were many ornate carriages parked in the whole square, and not far from the castle gate was crowded with nobles dressed in all kinds of gorgeous dresses, and the young people liked to wear fine light leather armor, they didn't care how cold the weather was.

Surdak didn't expect that the ball that Darcy casually invited him to attend would actually gather almost the entire noble circle of Hylanza City.

He looked down at the salamander leather armor he was wearing, fortunately, the leather master Abbe didn't delay too long, and sewed out his own set of leather armor before the ball, it was worthy of the salamander leather armor, wearing it on his body, he actually felt a warmth flowing in the whole set of leather armor, there were too many guests at the gate of the castle, and Surdak was waiting behind.

Seeing that the nobles who lined up to enter the venue one after another were holding invitations, Surdak subconsciously touched his magic belt. Christie didn't give herself that.

Standing on the periphery, he couldn't help but look around, and found that other than this entrance, the place was heavily guarded, and there was no other opportunity to sneak in.

As he was thinking about how to enter the ball, he suddenly heard someone behind him shouting his name, and when he turned around, Surdak saw that it was Carl and a group of friends from the noble circle who had come from the square, and among these nobles, Surdak only knew Baron Llewellyn.

Karl looked surprised and asked Surdak, "How did you get here, Marquis Christie has a ball tonight, you must have received an invitation too!" ”

A familiar figure suddenly came out of the gate of the castle, and the maid behind her carried the corner of her skirt, she walked through the crowd, and the nobles nodded and moved out of the way, Surdak looked closely and saw that it was actually Mrs. Christie, who was dressed in full costume, and said to Karl with a smile: "Karl, bring your friends in!" ”

A nobleman beside Karl looked at Surdak and asked Karl, "Who is this ......?" ”

Baron Llewellyn, who was standing on the side, hurriedly introduced to everyone: "This is the Knight of Surdak and a close friend of Karl. ”

Mrs. Christie nodded politely to Surdak, then took Karl's arm and walked at the front of the group, without greeting the others, directly through the gate of the castle and into the luxurious courtyard, Mrs. Christie personally came forward to greet her, and the group was naturally not checked by the door guards for the invitation, these nobles were very familiar with each other in private, and greeted familiar people as they walked.

Surdak only knew Baron Llewellyn except Karl, but the two did not have much in common when they stood together, after all, Surdak was Baron Llewellyn's imaginary rival, and it was already good that the two could stand together without being too embarrassed.

The other nobles didn't know Surdak, which made Surdak look like an island in the middle of the group.

It is strange that there is a knight among the many nobles, and the other nobles only regard Surdak as a young man who wants to sneak into the ball, and the eyes that look at him are not only a little contemptuous, but no one wants to befriend him, even if Baron Llewellyn introduced him before that Surdak is Karl's best friend, it has no effect.

Surdak looked curiously at the garden design of this castle, since entering the castle vestibule, Surdak felt that it was much warmer here than outside, although the vestibule was an open design, but just looking at the lush lawn in the garden, he knew that this courtyard had some kind of wonderful design, and he didn't care too much about no one paying attention to it.

"Surdak, why are you here? I've been looking for you everywhere. A figure briskly passed through the crowd and ran to Surdak, panting.

Surdak hasn't seen Darcy yet. Christie looks like she is wearing a long dress, but in such a cold weather, she can still let her smooth arms be exposed, and she can only praise: her physique is really good.

Mrs. Christie saw Miss Darcy rushing past with a smoke and actually stopped in front of Surdak to greet her affectionately, and then suddenly she thought about it and said, "Darcy, it turns out that you invited the Surdak Knight?" ”

Darcy. Christie said casually, "What do you think?" Aunt ......"

She was very satisfied with Surdak's set of salamander leather armor, although this style of leather armor is not uncommon, but it is enough to prove that Surdak is also prepared for this ball. Christie also followed the example of her aunt holding Karl's arm, and reached out to hold Surdak's arm......
