Chapter 6 Test Again
Early in the morning, the two little ones got up, and today was a big day to leave for the city for testing. For today, the village has prepared ten carts, which are piled up with various materials such as animal skins that have been hunted in the village for the past two years. Today is not only to take some children to the city to take the test, but more importantly, to go to the city to exchange the things from hunting for some daily necessities in the village. Although most of the villages are self-sufficient, salt, cloth, and spices still need to be purchased in the city. And nearly one-third of the things on the cart were all called by Lu Fan himself, he didn't keep anything, all of them were given to Lao Jiya, so that he could exchange them for daily necessities and distribute them to the people in the village, after all, this is also the place where he was raised, and he has a deep gratitude for the simple villagers here.
Ralph was already waiting there with a dozen of the best hunters in the village, and their task was to escort the children and carts. The children gathered one after another, accompanied by their parents, and this time there were five children besides Lu Fan and Peter, who were also their playmates.
Everyone was basically dressed in coarse linen clothes, and Peter and Lu Fan each wore a vest of animal skin, which was the fur of the first prey that Lu Fan killed with his own hands, and begged the village aunt to help them sew it. The children also carried short bows and quivers on their backs, and machetes pinned to their waists.
The children in the mountains are precocious, like them, teenagers, are about 1.5 meters tall, Peter is even more 1.6 meters, but Lu Fan is the shortest, about a head shorter than Peter. For this, he was ridiculed by Peter, and this may be the only place where Peter can defeat Lu Fan.
Only Ralph wears a shiny silver leather armor with iron plates on his chest and other important parts. Ralph held a large sword in his hand, and with his long loose blond hair, he looked imposing, and the children looked at him with envy.
"It's getting late, let's go. Ralph takes care of their safety, and you have to bring back as many people as you go out. Old Gia beckoned to everyone, and then turned to the little ones, "You guys give me some peace, don't make trouble when you get to the city, listen to Uncle Ralph, understand?" and everyone nodded in agreement.
Ralph bowed to Old Gia and said, "Don't worry, village chief, I'll take care of them." ”
With a wave of his hand, he took the lead in setting off. The hunters, who had already been prepared, followed Ralph with their carts, and the seven children were placed in the middle of the group and followed the carts on the road.
Lu Fan followed the team and walked away, looked back at the villagers who were still waving goodbye at the entrance of the village, and silently wished "a safe life" in his heart
Ten days later, at noon, a team with more than ten carts stood under the city of Buren, and it was Lu Fan and his party. After more than ten days of trekking and several wild beast attacks, they finally arrived at the nearest city of Buren, the village.
"Today is the 3rd, fortunately it is the last day of the academy test, I will take the children to the academy testing site later, and you will go to the market to sell the goods, and I will come to you later. The city is not as good as the wilderness, you all be honest. Ralph turned around and told him again, most of the rest of the hunters had been to Bren City, and naturally knew what to do with the goods, and they all nodded in agreement.
The group parted as soon as they entered the city, and Ralph and his seven children rushed to the central square of Bren City, the college's testing site. In the distance, I saw a crowd of people in the central square.
Squeezing through the crowd, Lu Fan saw a long platform on the left and right sides of the square, behind the long platform on the left sat a middle-aged man dressed as a warrior, and another young man dressed in the same clothes was holding a long utensil and placing it on a little boy who was tested. Behind the long platform on the right sat an old man in a red robe, the red robe looked very luxurious, and he was holding a scepter inlaid with red gems in his hand. On the long platform in front of him, there was a crystal ball, which was supposed to be a testing tool, but he didn't have anyone to test it. In front of the two test sites, there is a registration area, and there is a long queue. It was all children and parents who were about the same age as Lu Fan standing there in line.
Ralph has obviously been here many times, and directly took Lu Fan and them to the registration office. The person in charge of signing up was a fat man, who simply asked for his name and village, and after recording it, he asked them to stand at the back of the line. Even if he noticed that Lu Fan's black hair and black glasses, his appearance was slightly different from that of the person here, he took a look and didn't say anything. Lu Fan was originally afraid that because of his special appearance, he would inquire about his origin or not give him the test qualifications, but now he is also relieved.
If you look closely, there are really a few children with black hair and black eyes like him in the team, and people who come here will not feel strange if they have seen it.
The speed of the test was very fast, with groups of ten children walking to the left and occasionally a few walking to the right. In the distance, Lu Fan saw the old man on the right asking the tester to put his hand on the crystal ball. Most of the children did not make it through and walked back to the crowd in frustration. Occasionally, there were a few children on the left who passed, and the young man who tested would give him a sign, and after a few words of advice, the child would leave happily. On the right, there is not a single child who passed the test.
An hour later, it was Lu Fan's turn and the others, a group of seven of them, plus three other children, walked to the long platform on the left together. Standing in front of me to watch the test, most people already knew about the test, and ten people were consciously lined up. The young fighters were very satisfied and gave them the tests one by one in order. Lu Fan was at the end, and Peter was one in front of him.
"Unqualified, unqualified. The test was so fast that the young warrior placed the tip of the stick against the child's lower abdomen and looked at the handle of the stick to make a conclusion. The eight people who came with him in front of him were all unqualified.
Soon it was Peter's turn, and Peter unfastened his chest to reveal his lower abdomen, and his hands clenched into fists, instantly revealing six-pack abs.
Seeing this, the young soldier raised his eyebrows, and put the long stick on it, and said with a smile: "Boy, more abdominal muscles does not mean that you are talented...... Oh, no!"
Before the young soldier finished laughing, he saw a blue light shining on the handle of the stick, Lu Fan and they had also seen the flash of the stick just now, but all the flashes basically passed, but those flashes were a little dim and could not be compared with the scene in front of them. The young soldier looked back and shouted, "Teacher, come quickly. ”
As soon as the young soldier turned around, before he could exit, the middle-aged soldier behind the long platform had already noticed something, and he felt that his eyes were flowering, and he appeared in front of Peter, and his body was as fast as a ghost. The middle-aged warrior only glanced at the stick handle, and his whole eyes lit up when he looked at the shining blue light: "Ten Rank Innate Dou Qi, or mutated ice attribute, great." He looked back at Peter and said, "What's your name?"
Peter, looking at their reactions, naturally knew that his talent was probably good. didn't panic at all, shook the blue hair, raised his right hand and stroked the tip of the hair and said, "Who said that more abdominal muscles don't mean that the talent is high?"
The young soldier looked embarrassed, Lu Fan hurriedly turned his head away, looking like he was not approaching, and the five companions in the same village on the other side also turned their heads away, and they almost wrote on their faces that I was not familiar with this person. The middle-aged soldier also looked at him with an iron face, but he didn't expect that there would be a student who dared to talk like this in front of him, secretly wondering how to clean him up when he entered school in the future.
Peter naturally didn't know that he had been blacklisted by the middle-aged soldier, and seeing that everyone's reaction was too strong, he pouted: "Are you kidding, teacher, my name is Peter, and I am from Sugiya Village." ”
The middle-aged warrior nodded and said, "Very good, Peter, your talent is good, are you willing to join our Auden Academy's Warrior Academy?" As one of the top ten academies in the mainland, we will definitely arrange the best teachers to teach you." At the same time, as long as you can complete the assessment arranged by the college, you will be rewarded with 1,000 gold coins and 100 house points every year. ”
Peter listened to the middle-aged soldier list a lot of rewards, although he didn't know what the academy points were, but at least he knew the value of a thousand gold coins, you must know that this time the village brought ten truckloads of goods, at most it could only sell thirty or forty gold coins, which was already the income of the whole village for two years of labor.
Immediately nodded again and again: "Teacher, of course I am willing." ”
It was only then that the middle-aged soldier showed a satisfied smile and casually threw out a sign: "My name is Sauron, you can just call me Teacher Sauron." According to the rules of the college, you can bring one companion with you at the same time. Of course, all the expenses of the companion in the academy have to spend their own gold coins. If your companion is still in the village, you can let your companion take this sign back, and he will use this sign to get to the waypoint in Bren City, and someone will naturally pick him up to the academy. ”
Peter pointed to Lu Fan next to him: "Teacher Sauron, if my brother doesn't succeed in the test, my companion will be him, but I believe that my brother will definitely succeed, I can't beat him." ”
Sauron glanced at Lu Fan next to him in surprise: "Oriental, okay, then I'll help you test." Sauron was obviously very interested in someone who couldn't beat the ten innate fighting spirits, so he took the test stick from the young warrior and personally placed it on Lu Fan's lower abdomen. ”
A faint burst of purple light lit up from the test stick, intermittent, if absent. Sauron couldn't help but shake his head, secretly saying that he was still too greedy, he had already produced a ten-stage innate mutation fighting spirit, and he was not satisfied, could this kind of once-in-a-century genius still be encountered in batches. Although Lu Fan had already expected this situation, he was still inevitably disappointed in his heart, it seemed that his talent was indeed very poor. The path of cultivation will inevitably not be so smooth.
