Chapter 8: Dragons

"The temple has sent a group of elders in the past few days, and the reward amount for the mercenaries has reached a sky-high price of 35 million, and all forces have gathered here, and even the royal family has used the royal knights, which is really a big deal. ”

This is a cellar, although it is said to be a cellar, but there is no dark and narrow feeling, the whole cellar is built extraordinarily wide, the night pearls are placed in all directions, the cellar is green and magnificent. There is a statue enshrined in the main hall, the statue has four heads, eight arms, and a hideous face that is so angry that even the corners of the mouth are dripping

Blood, a natural majesty solemn.

A young man sat casually on a seat in front of the statue, this person was richly dressed and handsome, his half-length hair covered a small half of his cheeks very casually, with a faint smile on his face, and a glass of fine wine in his hand. And next to her sat the kidnapped temple saintess, whose beautiful face was in the cyan light

She looked a little pale and poignant, her face was calm, as if she was not trapped here, but more like an honored guest.

"But...... Is this really the case? The feud between the temple and the royal family, others may not know, but I know it clearly. The young man's face was a little gloomy, and he continued, "And you...... Do they really care about your life? They just care about the so-called face, the so-called saint is just the Pope

The puppet of the old thing......"

The Saint Verona was silent, and did not seem to listen to the young man's words at all.

After a long time, the young man exhaled and looked at the saint with a gentle gaze.

"Verona, how long have we not seen each other......"

Verona's calm face changed for a moment, she closed a pair of beautiful eyes, and the corners of her mouth seemed to tremble slightly, as if she was caught in some memory.

"Maybe you've forgotten, but I remember, I remember very well, it's been twelve years. The young man stood up and stood with his hands in his hands, but there was a sense of vicissitudes.

"I remember that at that time, I was still a hairy boy who only knew how to fight and kill, and I was cheating all day long, and you earned me to live in a fight, and this life lasted for a long, long time...... And you are different, you were a candidate for sainthood at that time, and then you looked different from other girls, you ...... You're really beautiful, you're kind, Vero

Graceful...... Actually, you know that...... You'll know who I am then......" The young man looked at His Highness the Holy Maiden with a gentle face and spoke slowly.

Twelve years ago, a young man who was still a teenager had already experienced countless tests of life and death. He always rushed to the front to clear the way for his own side, crisscrossed the battlefield, fought bravely, and almost lost his life by the enemy's sword many times. It was precisely because of his performance that he passed all the way to today's position and was the sect master of the Demon Sect's Soul Condensation Sect

regarded as one's own and accepted as a righteous son, almost one person under ten thousand people.

Twelve years ago, that night, their target was a medium-sized sect, and the two forces had a long-standing grudge, and after many days of inquiry, they finally decided on a plan and launched an operation.

As at present, the young man took the lead and bore the brunt, but as soon as he entered the courtyard, he felt a bad feeling. Sure enough, it was too late, and the young man's subordinates had the internal response of the sect, and they had already secretly passed the news to the sect, so that they could take precautions, and even secretly invited several masters from other sects to come and fight.

The young man had no way to retreat and was surrounded by groups, and finally fought his way out under the desperate protection of several members of the sect, and the young man gritted his teeth and fled with tears.

He was badly wounded, but managed to escape with great tenacity and perseverance, and finally collapsed in a thick bush and narrowly escaped.

Later, the little saint stumbled upon him, brought medicine from home to heal the young man's wounds, and bandaged and healed his wounds.

The selection conditions for the saint are very strict, almost to the point of harshness, so the saint will have some small knowledge of light and medical treatment since she was a child, which is a necessary condition for becoming a qualified saint.

Under the careful care of the little saint for more than ten days, the young man finally recovered almost, and when the little saint secretly came there with a small basket of food, the young man was nowhere to be seen, and since then, the two have not seen each other again.

"Thinking back to those days, I really, wish time had always stood still in those days. The young man paused for a moment, but his face softened.

The undercurrents of the Eastern Continent are surging, and various forces are fighting openly and secretly, and it seems that some big forces are secretly planning huge conspiracies, setting up formations like a chess game.

Perhaps, when you become enlightened, you will find that you have already been trapped in it and cannot extricate yourself.

In a hurry, the senior teachers who went out on tasks in the Dragon Soul Academy returned one after another, and Luo Fan's cultivation path gradually stabilized, and all this was just the beginning.

On the evening of the sixth day, the lights of the dormitory flickered, Luo Fan sat on the bed in the dormitory alone, and took out the ancient book under the pillow, this ancient book given by the old man has never had a chance to read, although he can't understand the ancient words on it, but now that he has come to the Dragon Soul Academy with many talents, someone should be able to know the mystery.

And the so-called hell training is just an enhanced version of physical training, Luo Fan breathed a sigh of relief, although he was a little tired, it didn't matter, it seemed that he could feel the changes in his body every day, and the same training became easier and easier, thanks to the old man.

Luo Fan has experienced more and more changes in his body, both in strength and speed, compared with before, it is like two people, and the faint air flow in his body seems to be a little thicker, as if he is transforming Luo Fan's body structure all the time, which makes him feel more confident in his future cultivation.

Luofa planned to wait for the last day of training to finish, so he took the ancient books to the library of the academy to find talented people, wanting to try his luck to see if there were any people who knew the words of the ancient books, and only hoped that the ancient books were not useless.

The seventh and final day of training has finally arrived.

"Today is the last day of training, but there were some changes to the original plan, and after deliberation with the academy's top management, it was finally decided that your last hurdle would be there. "The examiner was a tall man with a long scar on his face, like a centipede. He looked young, but at least thirty or forty years old, or

Xu is because of the cultivation of martial arts.

At this moment, he pointed to the vast mountains and lush forests behind him.

"How so?"

"It's so unlucky, I changed the rules just after entering the school, which is miserable. ”

"It seems that the most powerful of us is not more than the third order of the domain realm, you must know that although the demonic beasts there are not as good as the Lost Forest, there are also many demonic beasts below the intermediate level. ”

"That's right, with our cultivation, it's no different from sending us to death......

The disciples of the academy were all surprised, their faces were blank and puzzled, and they were more complaining, they didn't expect to come at such a good time, and the simple physical training turned out to be going to the Warcraft Forest to hunt the legendary Warcraft.

"It's hard to eat now. Li Xiaoyao shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Hehe, it shouldn't be as bad as imagined, after all, it's not just a few of us, there are nearly two hundred people, and with the actions of the academy, naturally it won't really let us take such a big risk, think they have their own arrangements. "Tyson is optimistic, and he doesn't care about it.

"I hope so. Geng Changyu also smiled bitterly.

It seems that the student's reaction was expected by the examiner, the examiner's face was as resolute as cold iron, and he glanced at everyone with a blank face, and the person who looked at him immediately felt a chill on his back, and hurriedly stopped talking and stopped talking.

Looking at this group of young people, the examiner's face remained unchanged, and he said indifferently, "You can give up now, the academy will refund your tuition fees, and then let you get out of the academy, the Dragon Soul Academy doesn't need cowards, let alone waste." ”

The crowd was silent, and it was a long time before anyone spoke:

"We're not cowards!"

"Yes, we're not trash!

"Yes, we're going to get stronger!"

......

"It's not waste, it's not casual talk, I'm looking forward to your performance. Looking at everyone's reaction, the examiner smiled coldly, and this smile made everyone shudder.

"There's not much time, so I'll cut it short. After everyone quieted down, the examiner continued, "I think you should be very clear about the purpose of this assessment, this time our purpose is the Warcraft Forest in the south, you can form your own team, a group of four. As long as you hunt a monster, you can pass it all. Rest assured, us

Only go to the periphery of the Warcraft Forest, there will not be much danger, the assessment time is one day and one night, and the noon assessment time will end tomorrow. ”

"Report, Examiner!" shouted Li Xiaoyao at the front of the crowd.

"Well, what's the matter?" the examiner wondered.

"Isn't there any level for hunting demonic beasts, for example, is killing a first-order demonic beast the same as killing a fifth-order demonic beast?" asked Li Xiaoyao.

"This is exactly what I'm going to say next, the four-person team must hunt second-order and above demonic beasts to be qualified, hunting third-order demonic beasts can give priority to entering the inner courtyard, and hunting fourth-order demonic beasts can directly enter the inner courtyard, that's all. The examiner's resolute face was rare, revealing a gentle smile.

"What if you hunt a fifth-order one?" Luo Fan asked.

There was an uproar, and everyone looked at each other. You must know that middle-level demonic beasts are quite dangerous existences, often the wisdom of demonic beasts of this level is already quite high, and they all have unique abilities, which are definitely not so easy to deal with, and sometimes even human cultivators of the same level will suffer.

"Hunting fifth-order demonic beasts is directly awarded to the core disciple by the academy, and the disciple can personally select the seniors in the academy as the master, and the seniors of the academy will personally teach the exercises. The examiner's face changed, and he looked at Luo Fan, and there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes.

As soon as the examiner finished speaking, he was restless.

"Oh my God, core disciple! What a great honor it is to be able to get the personal inheritance of the seniors of the academy. ”

"Alas...... That's right, it's just that with our cultivation, how can we deal with a mid-level demonic beast? It is estimated that if we encounter it, we can only flee for our lives. ”

......

"We have already sent people to investigate, and there will be no mid-level or higher demonic beasts on the outskirts of the forest. And we will send many senior teachers of the academy to protect your safety throughout the process, and I will send you some signal flares in a while, in case of emergency, as long as you pull and release the flares, the nearby teachers will be the fastest to catch up

Well, you don't have to worry about security. The examiner looked at the sky and continued, "Okay, that's it, you can go back and prepare now, and we'll leave in a moment." If you have any questions, please ask the teacher who will accompany you in a moment. ”

"I didn't expect it to be like this, fourth, when we get to the forest, you will follow us, brothers protect you, hehe......" Tyson put his arm around Luo Fan's shoulders and laughed. Li Xiaoyao and Geng Changyu also echoed it, and it seemed that they really treated Luo Fan as a younger brother.

"Cut, who wants you to protect!" Luo Fan rolled his eyes helplessly at a few people.

About half an hour later, the staff of the academy were waiting to be determined one after another, and the assembly was completed.

"Roaring ......"

A huge roar suddenly came from the distant sky, and the students raised their eyes one after another, only to see that more than a dozen black dots in the distant sky were flying rapidly, from far to near, gradually turning into black shadows.

"What's that?" Luo Fan exclaimed, looking at the dark shadow in the distance.

"Dragon!" replied Li Xiaoyao.

"No, a lot of dragons, are we going to take these guys to the Warcraft Forest?" Tyson was surprised.

More than a dozen huge flying dragons landed one after another, and the originally wide field suddenly became a little crowded.

The academy had already moved out of the open space, hiding in the distance and looking at the behemoth that suddenly appeared with different faces.

More than a dozen huge flying dragons were majestic, and when they landed, they also set off a gust of wind, which looked particularly spectacular.

The flying dragon is more than ten zhang long, the wings are more than twenty zhang long, the thick scales of the huge body reflect the cold light of the forest under the sun, it looks as indestructible as a rigid armor, the huge dragon head has a pair of sharp dragon horns, a pair of dragon eyes are particularly terrifying, and the slender pupils coldly look at everyone in the distance.

This is the legendary mighty race, the dragons.

Although it looked a little hideous and terrifying, making people afraid to approach, it became docile under the appeasement of the dragon knight teacher on the wyvern.

"It's really extravagant, even using a dragon as a mount, the Dragon Soul Academy is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Geng Changyu couldn't help but sigh.

"Such a powerful creature is not said to be used as a mount, and it is rare to see it in normal times, so it seems that this time it is blessed. Looking at the flying dragon in front of him, Tyson rubbed his hands, his eyes lit up, as if a beautiful woman was waiting for him.

After the examiner assigned their respective teams, they finally started their journey to the Warcraft Forest, with more than a dozen giant dragons carrying nearly two hundred disciples. More than a dozen dragons took off at the same time, and the storm in the square suddenly rose, and suddenly became a little messy under the raging storm.

It's just that Luo Fan clearly saw that the cold storm was a foot away from the examiner, and he forcibly avoided the direction, and the strong body protection really blocked the storm.

......

Overlooking the rapidly receding scenery on the earth, Luo Fan and the others were emotional, this was an extraordinary experience, and several people were more or less excited.

Crossing the layers of mountains and crossing the white clouds, he left the Dragon Soul Academy far away in a moment, and his speed can be described as a thousand miles a day.
