Chapter 14: The Three-Week Covenant
Speaking of this, Bai Bing paused, his eyes fixed on Lilith's fair face, who was still smiling lightly, noncommittal.
Bai Bing continued, "During the entire battle, I didn't hear the sound of chanting spells at all, obviously, you have at least mastered the talent of silent casting. As for the rapid casting, mana amplification, etc., I'm not sure. But what is certain is that you have at least broken through the sixth-level magic apprenticeship and mastered two spell-casting talents, seeing that you are about the same age as me, maybe the word genius is used on you, and you are a little modest. ”
At first, Lilith's expression could remain calm, and she felt a little unbearable when she heard half of it, and at the end of it, her eyes changed from a slight smile to a surprise mixture, "With your kind of observation, the person who used to call you a waste must be blind." ”
"Being a waste has the ease of being a waste, and besides, I really didn't have a vindictiveness before. Bai Bing shrugged his shoulders and looked relaxed, "As a genius, sometimes you feel tired, right?"
"Certainly much more tiring than being a waste, especially a low-key genius. Lilith looked at Bai Bing's eyes, meaningful.
The two teenagers stared at each other for a long time, and suddenly burst into laughter at the same time. In the laughter, an inexplicable emotion filled the air, which made people intoxicated.
A gust of evening wind blew, Lilith's long hair fluttered, and under the starlight, the two of them didn't know when, they didn't make a sound again, only listened to the wind.
Suddenly, there was a lively commotion in the hall, and even applause.
"Looks like it's time for us to go back. In this case, it is often the man who breaks the silence first.
"yes, let's go back together. Lilith agreed.
Hearing these two words, Bai Bing's heart was overjoyed, which showed that Lilith had a preliminary liking for him.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked to the hall together.
Before opening the door, Bai Bing gave Lilith a look, "What about the guy lying on the ground, do you want to call someone to take care of it?"
"That guy is pretending to be dizzy, don't worry about him, it's not the first time he's used this trick. Lilith didn't give Matthew, a distant cousin, any face, and pushed the door side by side with Bai Bing.
Behind his back, Matthew, who was lying face down on the ground, wished he had really passed out. Bai Bing, you waste, dare to humiliate Ben Shao so much, sooner or later, one day your family will be ruined, and you will be paid back tenfold!
Of course, even if Bai Bing heard this kind of cruel words that he dared not say and were meaningless, he would only laugh, just like an eagle would never care about the roar of a sparrow.
When Bai Bing and Lilith walked into the hall at the same time, the originally warm and noisy atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and quickly returned to its original state.
But in the countless eye contacts, all kinds of information and emotions from various forces, families or characters have been exchanged.
In the eyes of most well-intentioned people, the daughter of the governor of the Far East and the nephew of the deputy governor stood side by side, looking intimate, and for whatever reason, the picture itself was already very illustrative.
Something far-reaching, yet tacitly understood.
In the eyes of his uncle Tyrone, he was surprised and delighted. In the eyes of her mother, Katarina, there was a hint of worry in the pride. In the eyes of his cousin Sain, it was a mixture of surprise mixed with jealousy.
As the person concerned, Bai Bing did not cause an uproar in the Far Eastern high society at all, and bent down slightly to make a "lady first" posture to Lilith, but he always maintained the position of walking side by side and walked into the center of the crowd together.
When Bai Bing and Lilith stood still, Tyrone made a gesture to signal everyone to be quiet. In an instant, the atmosphere of the entire hall became silent, and people stopped talking or talking, and turned their attention to one of the three giants of the Far East.
Bai Bing couldn't help but sigh, no matter in that world, power is the most magical magic.
Tyrone's eyebrows were thick and his eyes were sharp, and the man, who was not very tall, first scanned the hall like an eagle before he slowly spoke: "Welcome to the Humble House for my nephew Bai Bing's sixteenth birthday dinner. I think everyone knows ......"
Tyrone first greeted politely, and then explained the reason for the dinner, which is nothing more than that Bai Bing finally succeeded in gathering his fighting spirit after bearing the name of waste for nearly ten years, which is really gratifying.
The room full of guests, though they all looked solemn on the surface, were actually mostly absent-minded, and they knew that with Tyrone's style, there must be other big news to announce later.
There were also some young people who turned their eyes to Bai Bing again, thinking that this waste was also running in time, not only condensed the fighting spirit, but also caught up with the only daughter of the governor, which was really unpleasant.
However, Bai Bing was in a nervous mood at this time, although he knew that his uncle was about to announce that he was going to be resurrected to participate in the preliminary examination of the Imperial Academy. But he didn't know anything about how it would work, and he didn't know how the Far East would react to it.
After all, the enrollment of the Imperial Academy can be said to be a pivotal event in the entire Radiant Empire.
The beginning of the whole dinner seemed tepid, and some people who were not interested in Bai Bing were a little drowsy.
However, at this time, Tyrone changed his words, "Regarding my nephew Bai Bing, there is still heavy news to announce today, that is, he will continue to participate in the preliminary examination of the Imperial Academy as a resurrection candidate!"
"What!"
"Resurrect the candidates!"
"Oh my God!"
The audience was in an uproar, and many people shouted in surprise. The solemn atmosphere that was a little drowsy just now was swept away!
Resurrection candidates, in recent years, this system has not been used for a long time in the preliminary examination of the Far Eastern Province, and even most people have forgotten that there is such a rule in the preliminary examination of the Imperial Academy.
And now Bai Bing can be said to have not completely gotten rid of the name of "waste", and it is unbelievable that he wants to continue to participate in the preliminary examination as a resurrected candidate.
Some people immediately questioned loudly: "The Far Eastern Province has not resurrected candidates for many years, why should this rule be restarted this year, has the Governor agreed to it?"
In the face of doubts, Tyrone immediately replied, "Do you dare to question my words? Do you want to borrow a few more guts from you and go to the Governor to confirm it face to face?"
Seeing that the man immediately lowered his head, Tyrone continued, "In addition, Miss Lilith, the only daughter of Governor Svein, will be directly selected for the Imperial Academy as a guaranteed student. ”
"What! I didn't expect to return to two rules that had not been used for a long time this year. ”
"Miss Lilith's selection is not controversial, after all, she has been a magical genius since she was a child, and now it is said that she has broken through to the magic apprenticeship. ”
"It is rumored that there are escort students in various provinces this year, and I don't know who the escort students in other provinces are. ”
There was a whisper in the crowd, and they all whispered about the bombshell news.
Oh? It turns out that the chick next to her is still a recommended student of Far East this year? Hearing this, Bai Bing raised his eyebrows and looked at Lilith beside him.
"Looks like we're going to be classmates. Lilith smiled and said directly.
But obviously, some people are still not satisfied with the result of Bai Bing's resurrection:
"Lord Tyrone, at the beginning of the creation of the resurrection candidate system, it was intended for those candidates who were superior in strength, but were unlucky, and were eliminated in the first round when they met an opponent with the same superior strength. ”
A sharp-eyed young man stood up, glanced at Bai Bing with fierce eyes, and said with a look of course, "And Bai Bing has just condensed his fighting spirit, what his strength is, I think everyone should understand it in their hearts." In any case, it can't be called a detachment of strength, is it?"
This young man's name is Nathan, and he is the nephew of Rufal, the commander of the Far East garrison, and as an important figure of Tyrone's rival faction in the Far Eastern political arena, he undoubtedly represents Rufal's intention to speak out at this time. The confrontation between the conservatives and the young Zhuang faction in the Far East has reappeared.
In any case, on such an occasion, the young Nathan dared to question Tyrone's decision in public, which can definitely be said to be commendable. You must know that most young people of this age, under the forced gaze of Tyrone, can't even stand steadily!
"Oh, is that your idea, or is it your uncle's idea?" Tyrone looked at Nathan playfully, and even a smile hung on his lips.
But those who are familiar with Tyrone can't help but tremble secretly when they see his falcon-like smile, and silently sentence Nathan to death in their hearts!
Bai Bing couldn't help but glance at Nathan more, this person had long hands and feet, and his right shoulder was obviously stronger than his left shoulder, which was the standard figure of a swordsman.
At this time, Nathan's gaze also turned to Bai Bing, and the two of them met their eyes, weighing each other's weight.
Open competition, I am not this opponent at the moment, Bai Bing thought secretly in his heart.
"It's the next thought. Because according to the rules, Bai Bing is resurrected and should take Will's place. And Will's opponent in the next round is in the next. I don't think that Bai Bing, who has just condensed his fighting spirit, has a slight possibility of defeating Xia," Nathan quickly gave his own answer.
"You know you're down?" Tyrone sneered, wondering if he hadn't moved his wrist for a long time, and even the kittens and puppies dared to meow twice in front of him.
It seems that the people remembered the origin of the title "Scarlet Blade...... Tyrone licked his lips and was about to speak, when he was suddenly interrupted by another voice.
"Whether you can win or not, you don't know until you fight. ”
Someone was talking before Tyrone could speak! Everyone, including Tyrone and Nathan, was looking at the guy who was talking wildly.
However, everyone was surprised to find that this person was actually Bai Bing!
It is truly astonishing that a person who seems to be the most unlikely to say this sentence actually stood up.
Facing everyone's attention again, Bai Bing was confident and eloquent:
"Don't talk this useless nonsense again, three weeks from now, on the field, we will speak with strength. ”
