Chapter 310: Purpose
Genius training camp, deep in the Tianzi camp, there is a dark dense forest, although the sun in the sky is just right, there is still no light to penetrate into the dark forest.
A figure quickly shuttled through the forest, rushing towards the distance, the figure looked like a young man, wearing a blue robe, floating softly in the air.
In the depths of the dense forest, there is a small gray stone tablet, on which are written two bright red characters, "forbidden land".
The young man in the blue robe stopped in front of the stone tablet, and said loudly in the distance: "Tianzi Camp, Zhuge Yu!"
As the words fell, two figures flashed out of the shadows, with masks on their faces, and strange patterns were painted on the masks, and a man stepped forward, looked at Zhuge Yu and said, "Please show the pass token." ”
Zhuge Yu groped in his arms for a while, and took out a small black token, there was nothing sudden on it, only a bright red flower, slowly spinning.
The man took the token and examined it and said, "The token is comfortable, you can pass." With that, the two of them gave way to Zhuge Yu to pass.
"Thank you. Zhuge Yu saluted the two capable ones, and then crossed the stone monument and walked deeper into the dense forest.
The two capable people didn't say a word, and their bodies turned into wisps of green smoke and slowly disappeared from the spot.
Zhuge Yu continued to move forward, and it didn't take long for a small house to appear in front of him, the outside of the house was covered with pitch-black patterns like scales, and an iron door was closed.
"Is it Zhuge Yu?" said an old voice from inside the room.
Zhuge Yu respectfully knelt down on one knee outside the door and said softly, "Yes." ”
"Come in. The old man's voice said lightly.
Zhuge Yu took a deep breath, then walked to the iron door, slowly pushed open the heavy iron door, and walked in in a flash, and the iron door slowly closed again.
Entering the room, a round table appeared in front of Zhuge Yu, there were a few scattered figures sitting next to the round table, the master of the black court was also present, the white-robed old man of the Central Chamber was sitting on the main seat and looking at Zhuge Yu, and on the left hand side of the white-robed old man sat Xiao Ce, who was wearing blue armor, the people from the three major power departments of the Tianxiang Empire had arrived, and this battle looked very difficult.
Zhuge Yu swallowed softly, even if he was one of the three little kings from the Tianzi Battalion, he was the top existence among the students, but in front of these big guys, he was a fart, and people could slap him to death casually.
"Now that we're all together, let's get started. The white-robed old man said softly, his voice a little low and a little tired.
"Say, what are you doing here?" There were also three figures sitting next to the Lord of the Black Court, two men and one woman, all wearing high-level capable combat uniforms, they were the top executors in charge of the three training camps, respectively from the Black Court, the Central House and the Military Department.
"There's something I need to tell you about it. The white-robed old man cleared his throat and spoke, his old face was very serious, and he frowned.
"Can I ask a question before that?" Xiao Ce said softly, interrupting the white-robed old man's words, he pointed at Zhuge Yu, "What is this kid doing here, this is a forbidden place, and a student is not qualified to come in yet." ”
"I gave him the passtoken. The white-robed old man said softly, "Zhuge Yu played a role in this matter, so he made an exception to let him participate in this meeting." ”
"I'm afraid it's not in order. Xiao Ce said softly, his eyes swept over the face of the white-robed old man, with a slight sneer on his face.
"Extraordinary things are done in extraordinary times, so General Xiao Ce should not be entangled in such trivial matters. The white-robed old man laughed, showing no sign of anger.
Xiao Ce snorted coldly, stopped talking, and quietly waited for the white-robed old man to continue.
The head of the Black Court always had a gentle smile on his face, and he had a wait-and-see attitude towards the game between the military department and the Central Council, as a department directly under the throne, the Black Court was quite detached and did not get involved in this senseless power dispute.
"As you all know, the Talent Camp is about to hold a jousting tournament recently. The white-robed old man spoke.
"I know that. "I was against it before, and if you hadn't insisted on it, this tournament wouldn't have been held." ”
"Yes, that's what I mean to hold this tournament. The white-robed old man said, "Because it is a competition within the training camp, the outside world will not know about it, and it will not have much impact." ”
"What is the purpose?" Xiao Ce asked, although the military department also has its own forces in the training camp, but it hardly interferes in the management of this area on weekdays, and leaves all the power to the Central Council and the Black Court to worry about, so there is a bit of a lag in intelligence, and when the military department learns about this matter, the martial arts competition is about to start.
"The purpose is to select special talents for special training. The white-robed old man said.
"Why?" Xiao Ce then asked.
"At the border junction of the Tianxiang Empire and the Jialan Empire, a strange secret realm has appeared, and the two countries are at loggerheads over this secret realm, and you must know this. The white-robed old man said.
"Of course, I know that the troops over there are all under my control. Xiao Ce nodded and said, "And then?"
"The Garan Empire has put forward a proposal to resolve this issue by peaceful means. The white-robed old man said.
"I'm afraid it won't be too peaceful. Xiao Ce said lightly.
"That's right, just a relatively mild one. The white-robed old man said, "The two countries each send young capable people to enter the secret realm, and the requirement is that they are under the age of fourteen, and as for what they can gain, it all depends on creation, and it doesn't matter if they live or die." ”
"Nonsense!" Xiao Ce's face changed, "Will you agree to such a completely non-binding proposal?"
"The throne is thinking about it, and looking at that posture, it should agree. The white-robed old man said softly, "That's why I asked to hold this martial arts competition." ”
"In order to find the child who is going to die?" Xiao Ce said with a sneer.
"In search of children who can contribute to the empire. The white-robed old man said lightly, "The empire cultivated them to let them serve the motherland, not to enjoy happiness." ”
"That's not such a retribution, sending so many geniuses to the Jedi for the sake of an ethereal secret realm, this is digging a self-grave. Xiao Ce snorted coldly and said in a very cold tone.
"Then what can General Xiao Ce do??" The white-robed old man asked softly, "The general should know what position Tianxiang is in now, right?"
"Hmph. Xiao Ce's words were stagnant, and he couldn't speak for a while, and finally he could only snort coldly.
"The Tianxiang Empire is being regarded as a thorn in the side of the entire continent at this moment for some special reasons, and all countries are wary of us. The white-robed old man said softly, "If we rashly provoke disputes, it will only give other empires an opportunity, and it is not impossible for a war to break out." ”
Xiao Ce didn't say anything, he naturally knew that the reason why the Tianxiang Empire was feared by all other countries was because Tianxiang had a door, but the other empires did not, and this kind of strategic deterrence was too powerful.
Originally, the four empires contained each other and maintained a delicate situation, but now suddenly the balance of the Tianxiang Empire was broken, and other countries suddenly couldn't sit still, and they took action to prevent being attacked by the Tianxiang Empire, and even began to form alliances in private, in order to target the Tianxiang Empire.
"Therefore, the proposal of the Garan Empire is the best choice for us. The white-robed old man said softly, "The empire doesn't want to give up this secret realm, but it also doesn't want to stir up disputes, so accepting the other party's proposal is the only option." ”
"Also. The white-robed old man smiled, "You also have to have some confidence in the children we have worked so hard to cultivate, they are all geniuses." ”
"I've seen too many cases of geniuses dying young. Xiao Ce sighed, although he didn't want to accept this proposal, he couldn't think of any other better option.
"How much longer?" asked the Black Court Master.
"Three months. The white-robed old man said.
"It's too short. Xiao Ce frowned, "It seems that the Jialan Empire is very confident in its next generation, and only gives us so much time, and doesn't want us to be too prepared." ”
"That's why we're holding this tournament. Zhuge Yu suddenly said, "In order to screen out the best personnel through this competition, look for geniuses in the genius training camp." ”
"A genius among geniuses?" the Black Court Master chuckled, "Kind of interesting. ”
"Can't the students of the Tianzi Camp participate?" Xiao Ce said with a frown, "If you can, it's more reliable to send people from the Tianzi Camp." ”
"Although I also want to win glory for my country, I am over 14 years old. Zhuge Yu smiled bitterly, "The Jialan Empire must have calculated this and knows the age structure of our genius training camp very well. ”
"It's a nuisance. Xiao Ce rubbed his head and said.
"So that's the next schedule. The white-robed old man said softly, "One month to complete the screening of the martial arts competition, and the remaining two months to select five outstanding candidates for special training, and then send them to the secret realm." ”
"I'm okay with that. The Black Court Master said softly.
"I have one condition. Xiao Ce stretched out a finger and said.
"What conditions?" A meaningful light flashed in the eyes of the white-robed old man, as if he had already guessed Xiao Ce's thoughts.
"Xiao Lin, that kid can't enter the secret realm. Xiao Ce said lightly, "I don't need to say more about the importance of this kid." ”
"General Xiao Ce is wrong. The white-robed old man laughed.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Ce looked at the old man, and a bad premonition suddenly flashed in his heart, feeling that something bad was always going to happen.
The white-robed old man cleared his throat and said with a chuckle: "Regarding Xiao Lin, this child, the throne has already made arrangements. ”
"Go on?" Xiao Lin said.
A sharp light flashed in the eyes of the white-robed old man, and he spoke softly.
"No matter what the final result is, Xiao Lin must go!"
