Chapter 34: Suspicion
As Hulai walked, the wound in his palm was healing.
By the time he arrived at the new student registration office, the wound on his palm had completely formed a thin scab of blood.
Along the way, he couldn't help but recall the look in Canon's eyes.
For the blue-haired aristocratic boy, his first impression was still good, but the trace of greed hidden in the red pupils of the aristocratic boy was observed by Hu Lai.
After all, the other party is just a teenager, and he can't do that kind of quiet situation.
Although he didn't know what Kanon valued in him, Hulai was extremely careful.
Walking into the tall building where the new students registered, there were already some new students who had come to collect their items like themselves.
Some of these new students were trained in the same position as Hulai.
At this moment, they were not aware of Hulai's arrival.
After a brief peek, Hu Lai did not find any trace of Lu Bule and Ning Wuya and others, presumably they had not come to report yet, after all, it was still too early now.
In accordance with the terms laid down on the notice board hanging on the wall, Hulay first received a number ball, which was engraved with numbers.
Whenever a number is reached, the ball will emit a somewhat hot temperature.
This kind of thing was a great novelty to Hulai, and he couldn't help but sit in the corner and play with it.
It wasn't until about half an hour later that the number ball in Hulai's hand exuded a trace of warmth, and at the same time, the blood scab on his hand had completely fallen off.
Hulai stood up, missed some aristocratic young men who were looking at him with astonishment, walked to the door of the collection office, and pushed the door in.
There were some staff members wearing college robes in the entire collection area, and some small boxes were being packed, and in the middle of the collection area, there was an old man with a hooked nose.
The wrinkles on the old man's face were like dense furrows, interlacing wantonly on his face, and his hair was grayish.
As if hearing Hu Lai's footsteps, the old man raised his eyelids, and an extremely sharp gaze shot out of his eyes: "Hu Lai, trial ranking." ”
The old man's voice fell, and Hu Lai spoke: "Hu Lai, the trial is ranked ninety-seventh. ”
"Oh?" the old man made a soft voice that made people unable to understand the meaning, his sharp eyes widened a little again, and began to scan Hu Lai's whole body continuously, as if he saw that Hu Lai was not a nobleman, he slowly spoke: "It is not easy for a commoner to complete the trial. Although the results of the trial may seem extremely precious, I advise you to abandon your intention of entering the Academy. ”
Hu Lai's brows furrowed slightly, he couldn't figure out why he was blocked by this old man after he successfully tried and obtained the admission letter of the student.
The old man raised a hand with a few age spots, and gently slapped the table a few times, making a crisp "pop" sound: "For other noble children, it is a very honorable thing to become a cadet of Easton Academy, but for commoners, it is a very dangerous thing. ”
"Danger?" Hu Lai subconsciously made a questioning voice, he himself is the administrator of a remote library in Easton College, it stands to reason that many things, he should be clear, after thinking for a while, he still does not know where the danger that the old man said comes from.
"The story of your killing of two nobles in the Alien Plane has not yet spread throughout the Academy, but it is not a secret to me that is difficult to know. As he spoke, the old man raised a withered hand and gently reached behind the table, and with a soft "pop" on the table, an extremely delicate box fell on the table.
Hu Lai stared at the box with the number ninety-seven on it, and looked up at the old man.
Seeing Hu Lai's wordless appearance, the old man looked a little tired, he raised the corners of his mouth a little lazily, and said softly: "After joining the academy, you must often enter the trial tower or the alien plane for trials, with your ability, you can't conduct trials alone, but if you want to team up with various great nobles, it is an extremely difficult and extremely dangerous thing." ”
"Easton College has an elimination system, and if your grades do not meet the standards required by the college, the college will issue you a withdrawal notice, and at that time, you will definitely be chased by many people when you leave the college. The old man's voice was extremely flat, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.
It is true that this matter is insignificant to this old man.
Hu Lai didn't understand what the impact of not being able to enter the trial tower or the alien plane would affect his results, he shrugged his shoulders and said bluntly: "I still don't understand what you said. ”
As soon as the words fell, Hulay walked slowly to the table, raised a pale hand, and grabbed a corner of the box.
"The aristocrats received a good education from an early age, and they came to Easton College for further study, largely just for fun, and in all fields, they were extremely good at it. Trial Towers, they can rely on their teams to complete trials, and the same goes for entering the Outer Plane, but you can't. The old man's voice was extremely affirmative, he slowly raised a finger, and the extremely sharp light appeared in his eyes again: "First, you have not received formal education, in machinery, medicine, or forging, there is a blank at all, even if you have read a lot of books, it does not mean that you can really compare with those nobles who have been influenced by the family since childhood. ”
"Second. The old man raised a finger again: "You can indeed kill two nobles, and your strength does not match your current ranking, but with my most predictions, you can only rank around sixty, of course, what hole cards you have, I don't know." Whether it is a martial artist or a ninto, if you want to show your true strength, you need to train from fighting again and again. ”
"Obviously, you can't try, let alone improve, the strength that really meets the requirements of Easton Academy. The old man's voice raised slightly: "So, you now have the right to leave here, put down this box, leave Easton Academy, leave Easton City, as long as you are not caught by the Nalan family and another family, you can live forever." ”
Weird, weird.
For Hulai, this incident was a bit sudden.
He really didn't know much about some of the requirements of Easton Academy for students, but he still grabbed the box on the table steadily, and said: "Although I don't know why you reminded me of these things, I still want to thank you, becoming a student of Easton Academy is something I have always dreamed of, and now that I have finally taken this step, I will not choose to retreat." ”
The old man nodded, his wrinkled face could not show any joy or anger, and the staff around him were still busy with the things in their hands.
"Open it up and take a look, maybe you'll change your mind. The old man's voice sounded again.
Hulai frowned and slowly opened the delicate lid on top of the box.
In the box was neatly placed a robe of Easton Academy, and on the chest of the robe, there was a dark red badge printed, this badge was something Hulay had never seen, and it was obviously very different from the badge of the nobles.
He swept his pure black eyes once again to the two balls placed next to his clothes, which had some seemingly simple, but extremely delicate secret patterns on them.
Hulay raised his hand and picked up a small piece of animal skin that was attached to the ball.
Chiyan Martial Arts Bullet, a one-time item, can be used in an instant to create a three-star martial artist's martial arts.
Martial arts bullets, this is a kind of precious thing for Hu Lai, this kind of thing is generally used to save his life, and Easton Academy will give two to students at a time, which greatly surprised Hu Lai.
He lowered the hide, and turned his gaze to another, larger, transparent globe.
In the middle of this ball, there is a trace of purple-black aura, even if it is not released, but you can still feel the cold aura contained in it.
This kind of coldness seems to be a bit like the kind of black and inky aura released by the Bone Emperor after transforming into armor.
"This thing is called the Orb of Demonic Thoughts, and you must be wondering why I am telling you so many things. You have nothing to do with me, this is what that little guy Driss asked me to tell you. The old man paused for a moment and continued to speak: "The Ball of Demon Thoughts is a tool for testing, it is generally in pairs, one is in the hands of the academy, and the other needs to be kept in your hands. ”
"As long as there is a trace of demonic energy around your body, it will immediately alert another demonic orb. At the same time, Easton Academy's law enforcement team will kill you in the fastest time. The old man's voice was cold at all, and the light in his eyes became sharper and colder.
It's as if you want to see through Hulai at a glance.
Hu Lai knew, just as the Black Armor Vane misunderstood that he was a demon, and now the top management of the entire academy almost knew about it.
Mentor Driss, who is not very familiar with him, believes in this matter nine times out of ten, and is ready to let himself live.
"In my hometown, far away, there is such a saying, the body is not afraid of shadows. Since I have nothing to do with the demons, even if this ball of demonic thoughts is placed by my side, there will be no abnormal movement. Hu Lai looked at the old man calmly, and did not flinch in the slightest.
The old man suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, and at the same time, an extremely powerful sense of oppression suddenly came out of the old man's body!
