It didn't take long for Lynn to get home from the café to get the same information as Erin had said.

Although it was a little late, it was certain that the other party did not deceive himself.

After a little thought, Lynn knew that it was time for him to improve his strength.

Although the official violent groups of the Rhine Kingdom have an army, they do not account for a large proportion, and most of them are stationed in the north.

First, because the cost of raising extraordinary warriors is a large expense, and secondly, because of the existence of the Rhine Knights.

As a sharp knife in the kingdom, the efficiency of the knights is much higher than that of ordinary armies, whether it is in the battlefield or in maintaining order in peacetime, so for the royal family, supporting a large number of troops is a cost-effective option.

The army is an organization that generally only accounts for the majority of the lords.

Anyway, if the real war comes, the lords will not be able to take themselves out, and they will have to let them raise the army, and they can also help the royal family reduce a huge amount of expenses, although the danger behind it is that the lords have the probability of possible rebellion, but the royal family has always believed in their knights, so they have never been prepared to change this policy.

It's just that no one would have imagined that this wave of rebellion would be so turbulent that with the words of the Knights, it might be possible to successfully suppress it, but the kingdom left behind would probably be a mess.

The royal family certainly didn't want that to happen, so it was imperative to re-enlist the army.

And the conscription of the army, the people who are conscripted, by and large, will be commoners, but the nobles are not spared.

After all, most of the nobles became nobles because they were captured from fighting on the battlefield.

According to the usual records, all the nobles and young adults over the age of sixteen will be recruited, but the number of arrangements varies from family to family, but almost none of them are spared.

All in all, Lynn doesn't have to think about it, she must be one of them.

"Boost your strength"

Lynn closed her eyes and entered the sea of imaginary numbers.

In fact, he has long wanted to break through, after all, his strength has been stuck here for too long.

Although his body is still growing, compared with the original growth rate of one or two centimeters a month, the growth rate has been significantly reduced, and his height and physique have tended to be stable.

It's time.

Whoop -

The familiar sound of the waves churned in his ears, caressing his cheeks with a cool touch, and he looked back at the blue shadow that was leaning on his back, and smiled softly.

"Good evening."

Whoop -

The sea of imaginary numbers responds with the sound of the waves.

During this time, although there was no way to continue to improve his strength, he did not reduce the frequency of entering the Sea of Imaginary Numbers, on the contrary, as long as he had a lot of free time, he was willing to come in and lie down.

First, because there is no safer place in the world to rest, and secondly, because there is a change in the sea of imaginary numbers.

In the long-term communication, the dialogue between Lynn and the Sea of Imaginary Numbers is no longer as jerky and obscure as it was at the beginning, and the meaning of a word has to be explained in many ways.

Lynn even drew a humanoid pose for it, allowing it to float around him like a shadow.

If it weren't for the fact that the Sea of Imaginary Numbers could only exist in two colors, azure and colorless and transparent, he would even be able to draw facial features on it.

It's a pity that whether it's a few handfuls of transparent on the pure blue or a few handfuls of azure on the transparent, there is an inexplicable sense of weirdness, which is far less pleasing to the eye than the solid color, so I can only give up.

Of course, it is not the only intelligent creature in the Sea of Imaginary Numbers, and it is somewhat rude to greet it and not to fight the other.

Lynn crouched down and patted Yvette on the head, "Good evening too." ”

"Shhhh

Yvette glanced lazily at Lynn and rolled over to herself, not bothering to pay attention to him.

For so long, she had long been accustomed to resisting ineffectively, and instead of going to the sea to take a bath, it was better to lie down and sleep honestly.

It's not that she's lazy, it's just that the consumption of dormancy will be reduced to a certain extent, and the environment of the Sea of Imaginary Numbers is very good, which allows her to repair herself better.

Lynn looked at Yvette who had rolled to the side, smiled, then got up and looked back at the sea of imaginary numbers.

"It's almost time, just today."

The Sea of Imaginary Numbers understood what he meant, and nodded slightly.

A long time ago, they had communicated a way to break through to the second order.

According to the conditions of ordinary people, if you want to break through to the second order, the mana content of the body must meet the standard, and in addition, there is a threshold that needs to be crossed.

- A test from the sea of imaginary numbers.

As long as you successfully complete this test, you will be able to enter the second order and dive into the deeper sea of imaginary numbers to improve the quality of your magic power.

But no one knows what this test is.

Lynn once asked Number Two and Number Six, but their answers were "I don't know."

Their breakthrough was as if they had just slept in a sea of imaginary numbers.

Lynn asked the Sea of Imaginary Numbers again, but the answer it gave was exactly the same as that of No. 2 and No. 6.

It doesn't know—maybe not that it doesn't, but that he can't know.

This seems to be the lowest mechanism of the sea of imaginary numbers, just like the subconscious of people, who will involuntarily act through the stress response, but as for why they do it, no one can find out.

So, Lynn was curious about what to expect next.

The second order is actually a hurdle for human beings, and most people are eventually filtered out by it and become ordinary people - according to the data, out of a thousand people, there are only a few dozen who can touch the threshold, and if you want to pass, there may be only a few.

Perhaps this sample of data cannot be used as a reference for human beings as a whole, but it can still prove that it is not a simple matter in some aspects.

With a sigh of relief, Lynn withdrew her gaze, closed her eyes, and jumped into the ocean.

After going deep into the ocean, Lynn didn't make much of a move, because the surrounding sea would be his helper and would take him where he was going.

As the depth deepened, the surrounding light became dimmer, and Lynn felt the increasing pressure around her, and opened her eyes to look around.

This depth was the deepest depth he had ever reached, and further down, there was an invisible thick barrier forcibly blocking his way.

It's not the same and higher pressure around you, it's a real barrier.

Lynn knew that it might be the dividing point between the first and second orders, so he hadn't tried to break through before his body was still mature, but today was an exception.

He's here for it.

"Now, go straight down."

Muttering, Lynn turned, head down, arm open, head-on, slammed into the barrier.

At that moment, the overwhelming pressure almost crushed his head, and for a moment Lynn felt that he might be dead, but the more painful the more awake his consciousness told him, you are still alive, but life is better than death.

Gritting his teeth, Lynn wanted to force his way down, but when his body just moved, he felt that the buoyancy of the sea around him dissipated invisibly in an instant, and a huge sense of weightlessness invaded his brain.

The next second, he fell to the ground.

"It's . Real land? ”

Lynn raised her hand and looked at the soil marks on her hands, confused.

His memory clearly told him that he was still in the sea of imaginary numbers just now, preparing to carry out the "trial of the sea of imaginary numbers", but in the next second, how did he return to land?

Putting aside her doubts for a moment, Lynn habitually looked around and tried to judge whether she was safe or not with the help of the environment.

— and then he realized that his worries were unfounded.

For he seemed to be in a dwelling that seemed to be a makeshift medical camp.

Lying on the straw mats on the ground around them were all sorts of creatures, including orcs, serpents with three hands, and even extinct dwarves, but all of them were badly wounded regardless of their form. All around them, strange female creatures and herbs in their hands were pressed against them, despite the bitter cries of the wounded.

"Where am I?"

It was as if Lynn was talking.

As for why it is said to be like.

The voice came from him, but the intonation was strange, and the syllables contrasted with the language he remembered, and there was something too complicated.

This made Lynn feel as if he was attached to a person at the moment, watching the performance of another "Lynn" from the first perspective.

After asking this question, a humanoid creature with two horns like a ponytail on the back of his head turned around and said, "This is [the capital of corruption], and you were rescued by us." ”

"Guys. Saved me. Why? ”

"Why? Why save our opponents? The humanoid creature said casually, "My lord's love for life is beyond ordinary people, even if it is an opponent, my lord cannot bear to die of pain due to injuries and illnesses." ”

“.”

"Your wounds are almost healed, now you can go, as for whether to return to you or stay here, it's up to you."

“.”

Lynn subconsciously wanted to habitually rub his fingers, and then the touch of crushing dirt really came to his mind.

Can I move?

Lynn turned her head, opened her mouth again, and made a slight low sound, realizing that she had indeed taken back control of her body.

Pondering slightly, Lynn stood up and left the tent.

From afar, as the unknown humanoid creature had said, this could indeed be called the [Capital of Corruption].

As far as the eye can see, there are broken walls, moss crawling all over the corners, and the wind blows over and rolls up layers of fly ash.

There are creatures walking on the street, but looking at each other's appearance, they are all extremely decadent, and the pace of walking is also lazy and heartless.

[Corrupt capital] rotten or not, I don't know, anyway, defeat is certain.

After a moment's thought, Lynn called out to the lizardmen passing in front of him, "Hello first, can you tell me how to get out of here?" ”

"Leave?" The lizardman turned his scaly head over and spat out a letter as if he didn't understand, "Why do you want to leave here, do you want to go back to the chaotic and dark world outside?" ”

Chaotic and dark?

Lynn said carefully: "No, it's not that I want to go back, it's just that I want to know how to leave."

"Don't leave." The lizardman didn't seem to understand the meaning of Lynn's words at all, "It's not good outside, stay here, only by staying here all the time, can we have hope and a future." ”

“.”

Lynn thinks that there may be a communication barrier between humans and lizardmen, so she decides to ask someone else and another creature.

It's just that things are a little unexpected for him.

If he avoids the question of leaving, then everyone will give him an enthusiastic answer to his question, the meaning is clear and clear, and there is no phenomenon of not understanding the meaning, but once he asks the question of how to leave, then everyone will only persuade him not to leave, but will not teach him how to leave.

Thinking back to the remnants of her memories before she came here, Lynn probably guessed.

Perhaps, escaping this city is the way to pass the trial?

So, how do you get out of the city?

The buildings in the city were dilapidated, but when Lynn looked around as he stood on a relatively tall building, he saw a pure white wall that surrounded the area a little further away from him.

If you want to get out of here, you have to go to the wall.

Lynn took a little time to reach the edge of the city wall, but he did not find the gate tower that the normal city wall has, so he walked along the city wall for a long, long time, and still did not see any human buildings, including the towers, on the city wall.

At this time, he realized that there was probably no gate on this city wall at all.

Looking at this height, it probably means that if you come in, don't want to go out

- But how did I get in?

Lynn suddenly remembered the horned humanoid creature.

It says that he is their enemy, and does the phrase "You can go back to you" mean that he was not originally a native of the city?

When this thought came to me, Lynn suddenly remembered another thing.

Among so many people, it seems that it is the only one who has said that it can "go back".

Lynn scolded himself for being stupid and immediately went back the way he came, but when he reached the camp, he could no longer find the horned monster.

In order to verify what she was thinking, Lynn asked a female creature that at least seemed more pleasing to the eye.

"Hello, can you tell me how I'm going to get out of town?"

"Out of town? Don't go out of town, outside."

"Okay, I got it." Lynn interrupted, "Can you tell me where the two horns on the back were?" ”

"Horols, you say? Hey, hey, you're not trying to pursue her, are you? ”

“.”

Pursue?

Although the other party is a humanoid creature, it looks like that

Lynn ignored the other party's ridiculous words and asked, "Anyway, I want to know, this little . . . Well, where did she go. ”

"She, I think about it. It seems that someone from the City Lord's Mansion called her away. ”

"Are you going to look for her, come, I'll show you the way, just keep going this way, and when you reach the end of the road, you can see the city lord's mansion at a glance."

City Lord's Mansion?

Lynn squinted slightly and strode forward.

He wanted to see what the hell was going on in this trial.
