Chapter 4: The Adventurer's Guild Test
"Smack!"
After slapping a small insect crawling on his face, Caleb woke up completely, he put away his belongings, got up and washed, even if he was alone, and his personal hygiene should be done.
There was no toothpaste or anything like that, Caleb washed his face, poured his mouth with water, and rinsed his mouth.
"Let's go! Go into town today and become an adventurer! ”
Put on a tattered cloak, the bottom of the cloak has been torn into rags, fortunately the hood is not broken, there are very few black hair colors in this world, and a black-haired human with no identity will pay a high price for those old perverts who have a collector's habit.
Covering his hair was Caleb's long-standing rule of survival.
When he came to the gate of the city, there were soldiers guarding the city collecting the city fee, Caleb clutched the coins in his hand, he was also rich, dead man's money, there were many adventurers who died in the woods, many were torn, many were naked, and many were rotten to dry bones and no one paid attention, Caleb's clothes, in addition to those picked up from the garbage heap, many were also taken from these adventurers.
5 silver coins and 30 copper coins
This is all the coins of Caleb, there are three kinds of gold coins, silver coins and copper coins in this world, the conversion ratio is 1:10:1000, the entrance fee is 10 copper coins, and if you can prove that you are a resident of the city, you will not be charged, and 10 copper coins will give a certificate of entry into the city, which is valid for one month.
"Stop! Is there a proof? ”
A hand stopped in front of Caleb, and a soldier with a beard glared at Caleb with round eyes, and a long scar on his face added to his ferocity.
Bruce is an ordinary soldier in Greywood City, and his job is simple, standing at the gates.
But he was proud, he guarded his city, and from the moment he became a soldier defending it, he swore an oath. He would never let any criminals into the city, and today he will be full of energy to defend the city.
Just as he was doing his best, a man in a black robe caught his eye.
With his shabby black robes obscuring his face, the knife that unintentionally peeked out as he walked, and the atmosphere that was out of place with his surroundings, Bruce was pretty sure he had found a wanted criminal, and now was the time for him to do justice.
He crossed the crowd to the black-robed man and reached out to stop him.
"Stop! Is there a proof? ”
"Why cover your face, show your face and I'll see."
The black-robed man paused, and turned his head as if to look at Bruce.
Bruce nervously clenched the spear in his hand, watching him slowly reach out to lift the hood on his head, and suddenly he noticed that the black-robed man was already holding the knife in his right hand.
In the middle of the crisis, Bruce didn't think much about it, he got up and kicked down the black-robed man, and the surrounding soldiers also surrounded him when they saw it, Bruce controlled the black-robed man, lifted his hood and looked at a familiar face, after confirming that it was him, Bruce laughed.
"Hahaha... Jon, you've finally been caught, someone reported that you stole the old widow's underwear next door, now come with me. ”
Caleb, who was on the side, honestly handed over the 10 copper coins to the soldier who stopped him, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought when he looked at the funny scene next to him.
'Old Widow .....'
"The period of use is one month, and you have to pay again after a month, so let's go in."
Pushed into the city by the bearded soldiers, Caleb didn't care about the bustle at the city gate, he still had to go to the adventurer's guild.
"Fresh fruits, sold cheaply, sweet ~~~"
"Flowers, freshly picked flowers in the morning, does anyone want flowers?"
"Roast meat—Doramon's roast, a lot of meat—"
As soon as you enter the city gate, it is a lively scene, with an endless stream of people coming and going, and many residents have set up small stalls here.
"Sir, do you need flowers, one flower only costs 1 copper coin..."
A little girl in tattered clothes stood in front of Caleb, she saw Caleb standing still, she felt that she had tried her luck when he had not opened in the morning, although he was a little frightened by his cloak, but she still mustered up the courage to go up when she remembered her mother who was bedridden at home.
Caleb looked at the girl in front of him, and for her age, she was usually playing carefree, but her hands and clothes were stained with mud, and the flowers in her basket were dripping with dewdrops, and they shimmered like jewels in the early morning sun, and she looked beautiful.
"When you come out to do business, grooming is the most important thing, no one wants to get their hands dirty in the morning, and they won't give money to a hand that is stained with mud, and they will be in a bad mood when they see dirty things...."
As he said this, Caleb took out a copper coin and handed it to the little girl, and picked up a flower in the little girl's blank gaze.
"Do you know how the Adventurer's Guild goes?"
Looking at the little girl in front of him, Caleb asked a question.
The little girl was stunned for a moment and pointed in a certain direction.
"Thank you.... Don't forget to smile even if you're working hard right now, this is something I was taught by an important person. ”
Putting flowers in the little girl's hair and combing her messy hair, Caleb waved goodbye to her.
At this time, the little girl who came back to her senses, her face turned red instantly, she touched the flowers on her head, looked at someone who was gradually moving away, and bowed deeply to him.
Following the direction of the little girl, Caleb successfully came to the door of the Adventurer's Guild, a 4-storey building with a sign of two swords crossed in front of the door.
"That's it, whew—let's go in..."
Pushing open the door of the Adventurer's Guild, the cacophony flooded Caleb's ears.
"Here's another drink! Drink! ”
"Hahaha.... It was poured after only three cups, you see how inferior he is. ”
"Just kidding, I'm super brave...."
"Team up! The people who want to take over the goblin quest are here, there is a shortage of magicians, priests, hurry up if you want, and the warriors please go..."
"Eh, you know what... Jon, who ran away the other day, was caught, hahahaha....."
The room was full of people, this was the Adventurers' Guild, and it was also a tavern business, and there were people in the hall who stopped by the taskbar to check the tasks, some people lined up at the reception entrance, and more drunk people who drank and made a loud noise.
Caleb honestly went to the reception gate to line up, and the speed of the reception lady was quite fast, and soon the queue arrived at Caleb.
"Next—"
Luna raised her head and looked at it, it was someone she hadn't seen before, although she had to receive hundreds of people a day, but everyone's appearance was firmly in her heart, and she really hadn't seen this person in front of her.
"Hello, do you need to post a task? Or take on a task? ”
Caleb was stunned, he shook his head, and said to Luna:
"Hello, I want to be an adventurer."
"Ahh Okay, please go inside for adventurers, we will have someone to test, please over there. ”
Luna points to a small door on the left, which reads "Newcomer Enters".
"Thanks, sorry."
Caleb bends down to apologize to Luna.
"It's okay, I wish you a successful test."
Caleb pushed open the small door and walked inside, and was greeted by a martial arts training ground with several targets erected on the side.
"Are you going to be an adventurer?"
A low, hoarse voice came from behind the door, and Caleb closed the door, revealing a handless old man sitting behind a counter and looking at Caleb with dim eyes.
"Hello, I'm going to apply to be an adventurer."
"You have thought about it, you must know that adventurers are very dangerous, if you are not careful, you will die outside, and even if you come back alive, you will become an old man like me, you... Do you still want to be? ”
Conn's voice was hoarse, and he stared at Caleb tightly, as if he wanted to see a hint of hesitation, and if Caleb showed a hint of hesitation, then he would definitely make the test more difficult and make Caleb retreat.
"I figured it out, I'm going to be an adventurer."
Caleb now has only one way to go, and he needs to be an adventurer.
"Sit down and fill out this form."
Seeing Caleb's answer without hesitation, Conn also gave up, and he took out a form from under the counter for Caleb to fill out.
Caleb took the form, sat down at the table, and began to fill it out.
Name: Caleb Liccock
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Relatives: None
Date of Birth: I don't know
Location: None
Class: Magician
Good at:Scout、Some attack magic
After filling it out, Caleb handed the form to the other party, Conn looked at it, and had a conclusion in his heart, this is an orphan, and there is no identification, Conn has no expression, he has received thousands of such people, it can be said that becoming an adventurer is the only way out for these people.
"It's okay, it's just that the words are a little ugly.... Place your hand on this crystal ball. ”
Conn pulled out another crystal ball and placed it on the table.
Putting his hand on it, Caleb felt his magic flow uncontrollably, flowing from his body to the crystal ball.
Buzz –
The crystal ball emits a bright light, and the bright light forms a number on it, 3-18.
"Mana Level. Magic apprentice, take it down. ”
'I can only measure the added attributes, and my attribute points have not been detected. ’
Caleb thought to himself.
"The table you wrote says you can attack magic, now you can go to the target range and try it."
Conn stood up, his severed hands and feet with prosthetic limbs, and he walked smoothly.
Following Conn to 30 meters away from the target, he pointed to the target and said:
"Give you a minute, show off your attack power, do you know with all your might..."
Caleb nodded, he opened the attribute panel, and began to add points, he still has 10 attribute points, and increased his spirit to 15 points, so that he can contract new bugs, increase the magic to 21, and spend 4 skill points to point the worm splitting technique to level 10, the screen shows that the skill has reached the top, and level 10 has also become max, and now Xiao Hei's 1 point of magic power has become 100.
Blackie also has 10 points, and Caleb increases Blackie's strength to 10 and his constitution to 11.
It's been 10 seconds, and Caleb hasn't wasted any time, he raised his hands and crawled out of his sleeve a brand new little black, Conn froze, bug?
Then, Caleb's cloak crept out more little black.
"Bug Tide"
Caleb's bland words, combined with the insects all over his body, even an old Jianghu like Conn couldn't help but get goosebumps.
The Bug Splitting Technique, which invests 21 points of mana, splits 2,100 Blacks, and the strengthened Blacks' speed is greatly increased, and their flight speed is 3 times that of before.
Bang Bang Bang -
All the targets were filled with Xiao Hei, and now Caleb felt that compared to Xiao Hei's physical attack power, the power of spiritual attack power might be higher, and Conn next to him took a few steps back from this scene.
"Insect Erosion"
The magic power is strong acid activated, the sound of clattering is heard, with the passive skill of armor-breaking power, the target's defense power can't resist Xiao Hei's strong acid at all, and it quickly turns into green smoke, leaving only a puddle of colorful liquid, Caleb raised his hand, and a large number of insects got into Caleb's cuffs and disappeared.
"It's... This, this, where did your worm come from, and where did it become? ”
Conn had never seen a magician manipulating bugs, and he couldn't believe that someone could hide so many bugs.
Caleb glanced at Conn, and a worm climbed up Caleb's exposed chin from the neckline and into Caleb's mouth.
"Bugs.... In my body. ”
In fact, the worm was included in the system by Caleb, and the system was indeed in Caleb's body, and everything was fine.
But Conn didn't think so, especially when he saw the worm crawling into Caleb's mouth, he gasped even more, and he rubbed the goosebumps on his hands fiercely, and he was even farther away from Caleb.
"Who will keep insects in the body, this kid doesn't look like a serious person, I'll know when I can test it.....
Conn felt that it was certainly not a good bird to raise such a disgusting little bug, and that the test was over, and he felt that he had to add a new test to Caleb.
"Ahem... There is also one final test, and if you pass the test, you will become an adventurer. ”
Conn endured his nausea and fear, straightened his face, and led Caleb to a small room where a rectangular crystal was placed.
"This is the new test project, you put your hands on it."
This is a prop to test whether you have committed a crime, although the psychology of a person cannot be accurately expressed, but the psychology of a person who has committed a crime and who has not committed a crime is different, and a person who has not committed a crime will touch the crystal will show blue, and vice versa will be red.
Conn stood by the door, as long as it was red, Conn immediately closed the door, this small house is sealed, the door and wall have been specially treated, the door is locked, and the people inside can't get out at all.
Caleb didn't understand what it was, but it was a test to apply for an adventurer, and there was no reason to refuse.
Putting his hand on the crystal, the color of the crystal began to alternate between red and blue, Conn tensed his body when he saw red, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw blue, and the movement was so loud that Caleb standing in front of the crystal noticed.
'This old man is sick, should I save him first?' ’
"Sir, are you okay, look at your surprise, is it the old problem again, do you want me to help you go to rest?"
Conn was still staring at the crystal intently, when suddenly Caleb's voice startled him, and he hurriedly said:
"Ahhh No, I'm a little hot these days, my heart is beating a little fast, you don't have to worry, don't put your hands down, put it down and it will fail. ”
"Oh, okay."
'Blame the old man...'
Caleb had a label for Conn in his heart.
The red and blue colors flashed for a full 30 seconds, and finally stopped at the blue color, Caleb is innocent, although he has killed people, but he has killed people out of self-preservation, and has never robbed any money, of course he didn't know that this was a test of this, and when he found out later, he just shook his head and laughed.
Seeing the blue verdict, Conn finally breathed a sigh of relief, these 30 seconds he felt like a few years had passed, his life had been broken for a few years, it was really Caleb's magic that looked too evil.
"Congratulations on becoming an adventurer, come out and go through the formalities with me."
