Chapter 3 Test Points
Rand stayed in his room, looking through all the parchment rolls of this era. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
There is no easier way for him to understand the world than by reading a book.
Tirelessly reading these cuneiform parchment scrolls, time passed little by little.
He didn't even know it was lunch time.
Or a slave came to call him.
When he came to the main hall, there were three people already waiting, Gorgias was not there, and he was imprisoned in a small dark room for reflection.
Filling Gorgias' place was a young girl with long bright red hair.
The girl is about fourteen years old, and she is already slim.
At this time, the girl was talking and having fun with Parmenides and Locke, talking and laughing all the time.
Locke laughed loudly, then smiled mysteriously, "Ino, your brother is here!"
The girl turned around, and with a bang, she strode forward and hugged Rand. It was supposed to be a very warm picture.
Rand was a little embarrassed by the girl's already developed Mimi.
"Rand, I heard that you taught Count Mance a good lesson, and it was so powerful that you cut off his left leg with a sword, and scared the boy to cry and beg for mercy. Ino twittered back to the previous topic, looking extremely excited.
"It's my brother!" Ino chuckled, taking Rand's hand and walking towards his seat.
Rand squirmed for a while and asked, "Sister, how is your test?"
I saw Ino make a victory gesture, but he held his head high, smiled and didn't speak, and he looked like a villain.
Parmenides smiled and said: "Ino's grades, but the first in Babylon City, has been admitted to the Rose Academy, tomorrow I will leave for the Rose Academy to practice, and when I come back in three years, most of them have become people with the ability to read above the third order, maybe, no, Ino will definitely become a guardian." ”
Locke smiled softly, looked at Ino, then at Rand and Parmenides: "You are all my pride!"
The family began to pray for "toon" and then began to eat.
The meals were plentiful and enjoyable.
After eating, Rand looked at Ino and said, "Sister, can you take me to the test site of the Rose Academy, I want to test it, I want to become stronger!"
Ino was stunned and looked back at his father, Locke, in reaction.
After seeing Locke chuckling and nodding, Eno stroked Rand's head: "Okay, then little Rand go clean up." ”
Rand got his sister's promise, and happily ran back to the house, and began to pack up his things.
Putting on his saber and changing into a robe with the family crest, Rand hurried out again.
"Yo, little Rand is very positive!" Ino teased as he looked at Rand who was blushing and trotting all the way over.
Rand smiled timidly: "Sister, let's go!"
Ino smiled and took Rand's hand, and after greeting his father and eldest brother, he walked straight out the door.
The spring was still good all the way, and the two sisters and brothers walked towards the outskirts of Babylon with talk and laughter.
As an academy in Syria, a hostile country, although they can enroll students in Babylon because of the Nine Towers Agreement, they are still rejected by a large number of nobles in Babylon, so their enrollment location in Babylon can only be set up in the suburbs, and they cannot enter the city!
Eno took Rand's hand and smiled softly: "Little brother, why did you suddenly think of going to the test?
This is the strategy that Ino and Locke came up with when Rand went to clean up, dispelling Rand's thoughts on the way!
Rand shook his head: "Sister, I really want to be stronger!"
Ino restrained his smile and looked at the black-haired brother seriously: "Brother, although the sages say that hard work must pay off, there are things that are not useful if you work hard, you have to be prepared!"
Ino looked at Rand who was in high spirits, and reluctantly found that he did not have the talent to lobby, and it was estimated that he would not be able to dispel Rand's thoughts on the way, so he had to pour a basin of cold water on Rand and walk directly towards the test site.
Of course, Rand knew what to prepare, and the reason why he was so excited to come to the test was not because his brain was hot, but because this morning, when he drew his sword, he felt a strange thing in his mind, and it was that wonderful existence that made him calm down, and then with an extremely fast sword, he cut off Sulo's left leg.
Plus the blind trust in the white object that rushed into his head before the crossing.
He is quite confident in this test!
In Babylon, the ability to practice meditation was tested by a priest who performed some kind of ritual before being able to be tested by the change of the crystal ball.
Therefore, the test of qualifications is not something that can be tested whenever you want to, even if Rand is the son of the co-ruler of Babylon, it will not work!
Generally speaking, the annual test is held on the first day of the rising sun after the heavy snow has stopped, that is, the winter festival day when the sun rises over the tower of fire in the southeastern city of Phyllis and the shadow of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon just obscures the holy tower.
It is only held once a year, but in addition, it is tested again when the major colleges admit students.
After Rand crossed over, he originally wanted to wait for this year's Winter Festival to test his qualifications, but what happened this morning, and the existence in the depths of his mind, made him understand that there was no time to waste.
It also coincides with the enrollment of Rose Academy in Babylon, so I want to test my current qualifications.
The sooner you test your own qualification attributes, you can practice for your attributes earlier, and in the future, you need the strongest foundation to break through the fifth order to become a guardian, or even to break through the seventh order to become a sage.
As for breaking through the ninth order to become a saint, just think about it, the entire world has not had a saint born for more than a thousand years!
In the suburbs, on the grass in front of the grove, a temporary enrollment place was erected out of improvised wood.
At this time, the area around the temporary place was already full of people on the third floor and the outer three floors, and at first glance, there were three or four hundred people.
Most of them were subjects of Babylon, and more than half of them were half-grown children of fifteen or sixteen, and they all came to take the entrance test, just like Ino.
There are also about two-fifths of the young people of Rand's age, most of these are in the winter festival years ago, and those who have not tested their qualifications, but are not dead, can barely say that they came here for the same purpose as Rand.
As for the rest of the students in blood-red uniforms, they are the teachers and students of the Rose Academy who are responsible for recruiting students here.
With the arrival of Ino and the others, there are always curious people peeking around.
The men saw Eno and Rand at a glance.
"Hey, the children of the co-owner Jolde are here!" someone said suddenly.
Almost everyone followed the voice and looked back, and sure enough, one tall and one short, a man and a woman, weren't they the most famous genius of the Yord family, the Scarlet Flame and the most famous waste black-haired mongrel?
"I heard that the blood flame has already received the admission certificate this morning, why are you still here?"
"That's right, it's that Admiralty, even the little Duke of Moro of Duke Rhode's family only rang three times, but the blood-colored flame rang five times!
Suddenly, another incongruous voice interjected: "The blood-colored flame can't come, we can't care about it, but why is that black-headed waste also coming?"
"This black-headed waste, it is said that it has not been able to test the existence of seeds for six consecutive years, this can't be tested again, right?"
"Oh my God, I haven't tested my qualifications for six consecutive years, if it were me, I would definitely buy a piece of tofu and die!"
"Don't say that, people still have a lot of perseverance, if you change it, can you continue to test without testing your qualifications for six consecutive years?"
"Or is it not that he has the perseverance, but that he is used to it?"
"Brother Tai's words, rhetoric should be at its peak, right?"
"Nothing, I just learned a little bit from the teacher......"
............
All kinds of vicious words pressed over like a tide, Rand felt a little suffocated, and he couldn't help but begin to admire the Rand in his predecessor, how much courage did he have to hold on to such gossip for six years!
