Chapter 23: Departure
CHAPTER XXIII
Ten days later, the first trial for the new students of the Academy of Magic will begin. Early in the morning www.biquge.info all the freshmen gathered in the square. Before the teacher came, everyone was in groups of three or five, chattering and talking, some with anticipation in their eyes, and some with a nervous look. More people were discussing where their trial would be.
Darkmoon Forest, Misty Swamp, Wolf Valley. These places appeared in the mouths of the freshmen, and when they asked the senior students, Lin Han and they all knew the location of their previous trials. And these locations are also the places that the freshman trials have visited most often.
But Lin Han always felt that they would not go to these places again in the place of this trial, and Lin Han, who originally thought that the trial should be very easy and safe, slowly felt that things were not as simple as he thought.
With the arrival of the dean and several teachers, the whole square suddenly became quiet. Everyone turned their attention to the dean and the teacher, waiting for the dean's speech.
"Students, we are about to leave and participate in the trials that the academy has for new students. There is not much risk associated with such a trial, it is just for everyone to familiarize themselves with combat and learn to use what they have learned in school, and combat will also help to stimulate the magical energy cultivated in your body. Dean Nam Tearless told the freshmen about the benefits of the trial.
"This trial will be led by Teacher Miyahisa and Teacher Li Feng. At the same time, ten Year 7 students will go to the trial site with everyone. Nan said without tears
After making a speech, Lin Han and the others were about to start their journey. Under the leadership of teachers Miyajiu and Li Feng, nearly 100 new students set off from the academy to start their trial journey.
"Lin Han, where do you say we are going?" The Academy of Magic has a lot of money, and dozens of large carriages are carrying Lin Han and a group of them all the way. The banner of the Academy of Magic was too loud, and all kinds of bandits retreated when they heard the news, and various checkpoints and towns were also allowed along the way. But the freshmen don't yet know where their trials are. Lin Han and the others only knew that they were going all the way south, and they had been walking for almost five days. Zhu Xiaopang, who was sitting in the same carriage, chatted boringly, and Zhu Xiaopang spoke.
"Who knows? I always feel that our trial is mysterious. What do you think?" Jiang Cheng said unhappily, with a little more helplessness in his tone.
"I estimate that the place of our trial this time may be near Yanshan City. Hearing the speculation of his friends, Lin Han, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating, opened his eyes and spoke.
"Huh, Lin Han, how did you know that we were going to Yanshan City?" Zhu Xiaopang continued to ask with a puzzled expression when he heard Lin Han's words.
"See for yourselves. Lin Han threw a drawing in front of him to Zhu Xiaopang.
Zhu Xiaopang flipped through the drawings thrown by Lin Han, which was the map of the Duchy of Cotter. There is a thick black line on it, which looks like it was drawn by Lin Han, and there is a place circled by a red circle at the extension of the black line, and the place marked is Yanshan City.
"For yourselves, the place I marked with the black line is the route we've been taking these days. Judging from this route, the most likely place we went to was Yanshan City. Yanshan City is on the southern border of our Duchy of Cot, and if you go south, you will leave our Duchy. Thinking that it is only a freshman trial, the academy will not let the trial leave the confines of the principality. Lin Han glanced at Zhu Xiaopang and the others, and came to a conclusion: "So this must be the place where we will test." ”
Lin Han's inference was not unfounded, because the academy did not announce the location of the trial, so Lin Han bought a map of the Duchy of Cotter when he was passing through the town, so now Lin Han has such an inference.
After listening to Lin Han's words, Zhu Xiaopang and the others agreed with Lin Han's statement. In their opinion, the place of this trial should be Yanshan City.
"Lin Han, is there any place near Yanshan City that is suitable for us to try?" Since Lin Han speculated on the location of their trial this time, I think Lin Han must have also made some understanding of Yanshan City, and there must also be speculation about the place of the final trial, so Zhu Xiaopang and the others continued to ask Lin Han.
"Who is the teacher who led the freshman trial this time?" Lin Han asked Zhu Xiaopang with a mysterious smile on his face.
"Teacher Gong Jiu, and Teacher Li Feng. Without any sluggishness, Jiang Chengcheng said in response.
"Don't you think there is anything similar between these two teachers?" Lin Han continued to maintain a smile on his face, and continued to ask a few people, and before Zhu Xiaopang and a few people could speak, Lin Han said again, "The two teachers who led the team this time are both fire attribute magicians, and the most famous one near Yanshan City is a volcano, so I guess this trial will definitely be related to volcanoes." ”
Although Lin Han said that he was guessing, but by understanding Zhu Xiaopang, they knew that Lin Han would never say something that he was not sure of, and since Lin Han said it, it would be impossible to tell the truth that this guess was not far from the truth.
"Okay, you don't have to guess here! If it's true that our destination this time is Yanshan City, then according to the map, we will only be able to reach it in two days. Lin Han then added.
The entire convoy was still moving rapidly south, with students and teachers practicing in the wagon.
Two days later, in the evening, the entire trial convoy stopped in Yanshan City as Lin Han had guessed, and the teacher asked the students to get out of the car and inform them that this was the destination of their trial.
I heard that this Yanshan City was the city of trials, and after getting off the bus, everyone began to look at this city curiously. It was approaching evening, but the weather was still not cool. The entire Yanshan City was filled with a scorching aura. The aborigines who lived in the city walked on the streets, dressed cool and simple, and some of the big men were even shirtless, and their exposed skin had long been baked black.
"Don't look at it! The lord of the city here has already arranged a place for us to stay. Let's hurry up!" Miyahisa interrupted the students' thoughts and shouted to them.
The arrival of the teachers and students of the Academy of Magic is definitely a big event for the city lord of Yanshan City, although he has only recently received a notice from the Academy of Magic, Yanshan City has prepared a place for the teachers and students of the Academy of Magic to stay in advance.
A very large manor, enough space for four or five hundred people. The surroundings are very quiet and there is not much noise, and the rest provided by Yanshan City is indeed very good. Not long after Lin Han and they stayed in the manor, the city lord of Yanshan City came to visit, and said that a banquet had been held in the city lord's mansion and two teachers, Gong Jiu and Li Feng, were invited to participate.
It's just that the two teachers, Miyajiu and Li Feng, resigned on the excuse that they needed to retreat for the trial.
In the evening, the two teachers gathered all the students together and announced the information of their trial.
Yanshan City, the Sunset Volcano Group is the place of their trial, and the trial will last for an unprecedented period of two months. Students need to hunt beasts, or even monsters, here to learn to fight, and the academy will not provide any help to students other than in the camp. The results of the trials are judged by the strength of the students to hunt their prey.
At the same time, the rewards of this trial were announced, and the top ten students of the trial students would be summoned by the Duchy Emperor to receive a reward from the royal family, which also forced the freshmen to leave the relatively safe camp to hunt beasts or monsters if they wanted to receive this reward.
In short, everything about this trial has revealed something different from the previous ones, and there has never been a trial for freshmen without prior notice like this one, and there has never been a trial that lasted for two months like this one.
"Tomorrow we will enter the Sunset Volcano for your trials. Don't think too much about it tonight, rest well and prepare for the trial. The two teachers finally reminded Lin Han and their group of people.
The dark sky made Lin Han's hearts also fascinated with a layer of clouds, everyone was not stupid, and from the teacher's solemn tone, they could also feel that this trial might be really difficult, and even life-threatening.
Everyone returned to their rooms with a heavy heart. Without exception, Lin Han, Zhu Xiaopang and the others also walked slowly towards their rooms. "This trial may be as dangerous as you think. So let's talk about what to do during the trial. Lin Han opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "Later, everyone will come to my room together." ”
Zhu Xiaopang and the others were all good friends of Lin Han in the Academy of Magic, and Lin Han didn't want them to suffer any harm in this trial.
"Lin Han, did you say that our trial would really be dangerous this time? Didn't you say last time that there would be no danger in the freshman trial?" As soon as several people entered Lin Han's room, and as soon as they sat down around the table, Zhu Xiaopang opened his mouth and asked Lin Han.
Lin Han usually shows stability and ability. Although Lin Han usually doesn't talk much, Lin Han has also become the core of their small team.
"Originally, I thought that the trial would only be the same as usual, but now it seems that it is completely unexpected to me, and I believe you must have felt that this trial revealed an unusual atmosphere everywhere. Lin Han had a sad look on his face, but said with a serious face.
"During the trial, it is best for several of us to act together, first to ensure the safety of our own lives, and then find a way to hunt the demonic beast. After discussion, Lin Han finally came to this conclusion. Zhu Xiaopang and the others obviously understood that Lin Han was not alarmist, and they had no objections.
After making a decision, several people left Lin Han's room and went back to rest and prepare for the trial that would be held the next day. As for what the psychology of several people looks like, and whether they can rest well, it is not for outsiders to understand.
