Chapter 272: Passed the Final Judgment
The innkeeper was dressed in a light blue smock at the moment, standing beside Ouyang Kuo with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile at Qin Tao: "Little brother, I'm sorry, the old man hasn't told you." ”
"Yun, Yun Ye?" Qin Tao said in surprise.
The old man nodded: "Yes, he is also the king's retainer, Yun Shui Han." ”
Qin Tao was so shocked that he couldn't speak, he didn't expect that this innkeeper who liked to talk turned out to be a retainer of the royal palace with an extremely prominent status in the east of the city.
"It's strange, I obviously found out that he doesn't have any soul power......"
At this time, Ouyang Kuo cleared his throat and said to the three applicants who had passed the review: "Congratulations to the three of them for entering the final examination, and the final level will be determined by the king himself, so now you will follow me to meet the king." ”
Hearing that they were going to meet the king, the three of them were quite excited, and Qin Tao was secretly happy that he was finally able to witness this legendary powerhouse once.
On the way to the palace, Yun Shuihan secretly asked Qin Tao: "Little brother, are you sure?"
Qin Tao didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded at Yun Shuihan.
Entering the palace hall, the three of them were instantly shocked by the magnificent scene, Qin Tao looked around for a while, and then locked his eyes on the throne on the main hall.
An extremely handsome man of about thirty was sitting in the throne, his pale red hair matched with fiery red light armor, and a sharp long sword shimmering with dazzling golden light lying quietly beside the man.
No matter how precious the long sword is, no matter how dazzling the armor is, it is difficult to compare with the appearance of the man who has poured thousands of sentient beings, his charming appearance and unique noble temperament. Straight to all the glitz and glamour lost its luster.
"This is the king of the sea, how can there be such a beautiful man in the world......" Qin Tao secretly wondered.
The other two applicants were already fascinated, as if they were impressed by the king's charm or fell in love with him.
"Wang, the review is all over. These three people were selected from among them, and it was up to the king to decide. Ouyang Kuo said respectfully.
Qin Tao didn't expect that the voice of this king of the sea was even gentler than Ouyang Kuo, and it was really like a real spring breeze blowing into people's hearts.
"The fact that the three of you were able to pass the review shows that you are outstanding, and my review is not difficult, but I just need you to show off your ability to manipulate the flames. Kill the Sea King said.
Ouyang Kuo bowed deeply to Wang, and then faced Qin Tao and the others. He asked, "Which of you will come first?"
"I'll come first!" Xue Luo was the first to shout.
Ouyang Kuo nodded, took two steps back and retreated to the side.
Xue Luo bowed deeply to the Sea Killer King, and then ascended to the smelting platform that had been prepared in the main hall. The assessment began.
"I didn't expect that the children of the Golden Lion Clan would still have people who know how to smelt...... Qin Tao thought secretly.
Burning molten crystalline iron is not a difficult task for Xue Luo, who has fire attributes, and at the same time, this young man has mastered very skilled smelting techniques, so there is no mistake in the process of melting iron, and it is almost perfect.
After Xue Luo stepped down. Yun Shui coldly transmitted a voice to Qin Tao: "Xue Luo's technique seems to be ingenious. But the skills are too mediocre to reach the king's standards. ”
Qin Tao looked at Yun Shuihan, and then at the Sea Killer on the throne, and from the king's expression and eyes, he immediately affirmed Yun Shuihan's statement.
The second one on the field was the old man, what strength did this old man from the civilian area with an extremely mysterious sense have, Qin Tao was quite curious.
However, after the old man began to melt iron, Qin Tao completely denied him in his heart.
Although the old man's skills and techniques are much stronger than Xue Luo's. It is also a leader in the ingenuity of molten iron, but Qin Tao feels that the old man is the same as Xue Luo. It's all too mediocre.
After successfully ending the molten iron, the old man owed himself to the Sea King, and then calmly and confidently walked off the smelting table.
The Sea King nodded slightly, then looked at Qin Tao, who started last, and said, "It's your turn." ”
The corners of Qin Tao's mouth curved a shallow arc, and then slowly walked onto the smelting platform. Yun Shuihan and Ouyang Kuo's eyes unconsciously fell to the stage at the same time, and they all wanted to see what kind of strength this most mysterious little guy was.
Qin Tao did not conduct the initial review of the matter naturally because the Sea King was aware of it, and he also believed Yun Shuihan's recommendation, so the Sea King agreed to this matter exceptionally.
And at this moment, the most stressful thing in the hall is Yun Shuihan, once Qin Tao loses, then he will lose face in front of the king.
Qin Tao slowly picked up the crystal iron on the stage and placed it firmly in his left palm.
However, to everyone's surprise, Qin Tao actually asked the Sea King first: "Is it okay to just melt the iron?"
The Sea King smiled and nodded: "Not bad." ”
Qin Tao let out an "oh", and then began to slowly release his soul power, dyeing his left hand red.
Xue Luo and the old man looked at Qin Tao's strange movements in surprise, and they had thousands of questions in their hearts. And like them, the two retainers were also quite strange about Qin Tao's method.
When he was young, his left palm was as red as a soldering iron, and then a boiling flame ignited in the shocked eyes of everyone.
With the crisp sound of a flame burning, Qin Tao's molten iron officially kicked off, the molten iron technique of the pure fire school.
Although he hadn't smelted the blade for a long time, Qin Tao still had a lot of treasures about this method. And in order to retain some strength, Qin Tao did not do his best, but just melted the crystal iron in accordance with the regulations.
The flaming right hand continued to bombard the left palm, causing the molten iron that was about to flow back into the palm.
After the last small piece of crystalline iron completely turned into molten iron, Qin Tao suddenly flipped his palm violently and quickly drove all the molten iron into the prepared mold.
Slowly retracting the flames, Qin Tao showed a satisfied smile in the white mist stirred up by the molten iron, and then rushed to kill the Sea King.
At this time, Yun Shuihan was already so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, Qin Tao's unimaginable wonderful skills were definitely the best candidate for this selection. And Ouyang Kuo beside him was also smiling, after all, he could finally make a perfect deal.
As for Xue Luo and the old man, they had been immersed in shock, and Xue Luo was even more obsessed and exclaimed in public: "What is this?!"
The Sea Killer smiled faintly, looked at Qin Tao and nodded with satisfaction, and then announced the result of the final trial.
Qin Tao was chosen by the Sea King without suspense, and although the other two failed, they still got the corresponding benefits.
After Xue Luo and the others left, the King of the Sea Killing instructed Yun Shuihan to arrange a place for Qin Tao to live in the palace, and let Qin Tao live in the palace.
"When will I start helping you?" Qin Tao suddenly asked while standing in the hall.
The Sea King smiled faintly: "Don't worry, there are some things I have to tell you before I can start, you go and rest first." ”
Following Yun Shuihan to his residence, along the way, Yun Shuihan praised Qin Tao's strange techniques, and from his gushing appearance, it was not difficult for Qin Tao to see that this royal retainer was already excited enough.
"Master Yun, when will the king see me again?" Qin Tao asked after arriving at his residence.
"It should be soon, you can live in peace first. By the way, if you have anything, you can just come to me. ”
Qin Tao let out an "oh", then took out the golden medal and wooden plaque and handed it to Yun Shuihan, saying, "Thank you, Yun Ye." ”
After receiving the medal and the wooden plaque, Yun Shuihan smiled: "Don't be so polite, you are now the king's guest, and your status is no longer the same." ”
Qin Tao suddenly let out an "ah", and finally understood why the current residence was a hundred times more luxurious than the previous guest house.
After Yun Shuihan left, Qin Tao lay on the bed boredly, thinking about what might happen in the future, but unconsciously quietly fell asleep.
Just after Qin Tao lived in the palace, his affairs suddenly spread in the east of the city.
The young man who angered Xue Hong and became the guest of honor of the Golden Lion Clan actually passed the king's review and became the guest of honor of the King of the Sea in one fell swoop, such a major event had already spread in Dongcheng, and Qin Tao's name was also deeply imprinted in people's hearts.
On the second day, the King of the Sea Killing summoned Qin Tao in the main hall...... (To be continued......)
