Among the seven core characters of the Little Mercenary Group, the Raging Dwarf King is the most difficult person for historians to describe. Due to his natural bloodline, the Dwarf King could not enter the trio of human dragon gods, but among the remaining four, he would burst into dazzling brilliance like a superstar at any given time.

Some people think that if there were no trio of human dragons, there might not be such a legendary figure as the Raging Dwarf King;

However, more historians analyze from a fair point of view, if there is really no dragon god trio in front of them to snatch the eye, the legendary dwarf king may become the pinnacle of that generation;

After analyzing the previous battles commanded by the Mercenary King, many war scientists have come to a conclusion that the world cannot believe: the troops led by the Dwarf King are the strongest and heaviest notes under the baton of the Mercenary King's battles.

Biography of the Raging Dwarven King

Chapter 7: Phantom Beast Trial

Amy, the third day of their arrival in Scambray was the much-anticipated Phantom Beast Trial. Although it is highly anticipated, in fact, the number of people who are lucky enough to enter the trial site is strictly controlled, except for the competitors who participate in the trial, only two kinds of people are eligible to enter the trial site, if they are not nobles with the title of Count of Scambrai or above, they must be active soldiers with the rank of general or higher in Scambrai. Of course, most of the time, the two coincide with each other.

This is a very rare opportunity for most of the participants in the ceremony, and any teenager who can make it this far may become the backbone of the next generation of power in the empire in the next 10 to 20 years. Therefore, whether it is to be able to get to know them and build a wider network for yourself, or whether there are girls of the right age to marry or unmarried boys of the right age in the family, it is the responsibility of every famous family head to come here to make his family network more excellent.

Every Phantom Beast Knight candidate who came here was also very aware of this, of course, their mood was not only to be sold, but for them, it was also an extremely rare opportunity to use this opportunity to directly establish a close relationship with the superstructure of the Empire.

Historically, there has been no shortage of Phantom Beast Knights who were born poor but had the best reputation at the trial meeting to become the son-in-law of a certain earl or a marquis's family.

On the afternoon of the second day, Duke Chi, Chi Hanfeng, and Lei Ge were invited to participate in this phantom beast trial conference as visitors, and Chi Aotian also got a notice to participate in this trial conference.

During the day, the beasts are most active in the morning, and in order to get a better trial effect, all those who participate in this ceremony must enter the trial hall before 5:00 in the morning.

When it was still dawn, the duke and his party had already left the duke's palace and came to the trial hall - the Imperial Chamber of the Amy Empire. It has also been customary over the years to use the Imperial Chamber, the largest indoor space in the Empire, as a place for trials.

When the first rays of sunlight entered the hall from the east wall, the 35-year-old Emperor Redstone II, accompanied by his attendants, ascended to the throne, a symbol of imperial power, and the guards slowly closed the door.

According to the rules of the past years, the Imperial Phantom Beast Knight candidates are from 5 different systems, and the largest one is 100% Recruit the knight school for the children of the nobles of the empire, each session, they will produce 10~12 official candidates; the second system is the army, all the soldiers of appropriate age who have the rank of squadron leader or above in the army can be recommended, of course, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to obtain the rank of squadron leader or above before the age of 25, perhaps only the nobles can have such good luck, each candidate from this system will reach 6~8; the third system is mainly composed of the children of nobles and the children of merchants, the magic academy, this system recommends at least 4 candidates per session; the fourth system is the mercenary organization in the empire, they can give priority to recommending outstanding mercenaries from poor backgrounds in their current positions or reserves, with at least 4 people per session, and the fifth major system is the magic union in the empire, which is responsible for recommending young magicians who cannot enter the magic school for various reasons, and recommends 4 places per session.

In order to ensure that there are enough candidates left for the people, the latter two systems have been explicitly informed that the participating teenagers must not have any noble blood and must not be the children of courtiers of noble families.

In addition to these five systems, there is also a special system that will participate in the Phantom Beast Trial - the Envoy of the Holy Court, and the number of people in this system is fixed, 3 people per session. The participants this year have been confirmed, and among them is Saruo.

According to the rules of the past years, the number of phantom beasts that appear in each session is 31, but the number of people participating in the trial is 31+3~5, because not everyone is suitable for being a phantom beast knight, and the degree of pickiness of phantom beasts for knights even exceeds the selection of many noble earls and marquis present for the east bed.

In the course of the Phantom Beast Trial, most people, including the king, were just spectators, except for the knights who participated and the magicians who presided.

However, this year, it seems that the situation is a little wrong, the Redstone Emperor's face is very bad, and after sitting on the throne, he did not signal the Imperial ** Master Norin to start the ceremony, but patted the armrest of the throne heavily: "Principal of the Knight School Liufeng, General Ning Lun, and Dada ** Master of the Magic Academy, I want to ask you a question." ”

Principal Liufeng himself is also a phantom beast knight, after serving in the army for many years, he has been transferred to the knight school and steadily become the principal, and he is a middle-aged man in his 50s; General Ning Lun is a rare officer in the army who is not in the Duke of Chi system, and this time he is responsible for the recommendation of military system trial personnel; Dada ** Division is a mage of the divine system, although he is from the Holy Court, he has lived in the imperial capital for many years.

The three of them immediately walked in front of the Redstone Emperor very respectfully.

"Before, there were illegals who attacked the empire to go to the kingdom of the Hami people to meet the Phantom Beast envoys, resulting in the death of the head of the envoy and the deputy minister of foreign affairs, and the matter has not yet been finally decided; After hearing this, everyone on the scene understood where the Red Stone Emperor's anger was.

Of course, only the Phantom Beast Knight knew the real key to the Emperor's anger.

According to the process of the Phantom Beast Knight's preliminary trial, first of all, the magician put the Shenmu Sticks marked with 31 Phantom Beasts and several Divine Wood Sticks without Phantom Beast Marks into the magic box, and then each knight stepped forward to call the Phantom Beast Wood Sticks with their hearts, and the knights who got the Divine Wood Sticks found the corresponding Phantom Beasts outside the Phantom Beasts and communicated with the Phantom Beasts in the Phantom Territory with their hearts.

Each phantom beast has its own unique endowment, "phantom beast psychic" refers to this meaning, when the human knights choose them, they are also silently choosing the human knights, only the knights that the real phantom beasts like, can obtain the trust of the phantom beasts 100%, so that they can pass the more difficult trial of the holy snow mountain phantom beasts in the real sense in the later stage.

According to past records, all the knights who could not complete the Holy Snow Mountain Phantom Beast Trial were all Phantom Beasts who rejected the knights in the Phantom Beast selection at the beginning.

According to the rules, if the knight succeeds in the first round of phantom beast communication, he can enter the holy snow mountain to participate in the later trial, and if he fails, he will put the phantom beast lottery he just got into the bag again to participate in a new round of selection. If a phantom beast fails to identify with its owner twice in a row, the third knight will forcibly become the new owner of the phantom beast, regardless of whether it can be recognized or not.

Therefore, in the early trial of the phantom beast knight every year, in addition to ensuring the quality of the phantom beast, the choice of the knight is particularly important, and it is often to prepare a few more knights, so as to ensure that each phantom beast can find a suitable owner.

Now, at the last moment, the Phantom Beast Knight candidate suddenly had an accident, which undoubtedly cast a shadow on this Phantom Beast Knight trial.

The three questioned officials looked at each other and explained to the Redstone Emperor in embarrassment that they really couldn't control the course of the matter, and several knights either fell from their horses and broke their bones due to excessive drinking, or were injured in the hotel, or simply fell seriously ill.

The Redstone Emperor snorted heavily: "Since you can't even protect the knights who participated in this trial, it fully proves that your official positions are not very suitable, Minister of War, Minister of Officials." Duke Chi didn't expect that he would have his own affairs just after returning to Dìdū, so he hurriedly stepped forward with the minister to see Emperor Hongshi, "The three officials will each be demoted by two levels, and you will be appointed separately for the relevant positions." ”

The Redstone Emperor was furious, and no one dared to intercede for the three colleagues.

After a pause, the Red Stone Emperor suddenly asked Count Lin: "Count Lin, Gui Qianjin sent an envoy to the Hami Kingdom, and even when the head of the envoy was injured, she was still able to complete the task and work hard, this time, is she in Dìdū now?"

The Earl stepped forward to salute and replied, "Your Majesty, the little girl is currently a candidate for the Phantom Beast Knight of the Academy of Magic, and she is already here. ”

"Oh," the Emperor seemed slightly surprised, "please come up." ”

Lin Yusheng hurriedly came to the emperor at the suggestion of his father, and the emperor simply asked two questions: "Miss Lin, I heard that there are two young mercenaries who helped you complete the task, is that the case? Where are they now?"

Lin Yushang was also taken aback, he didn't expect the emperor's news to be so sensitive: "Yes, Your Majesty, one of them is the righteous son of Earl Chi Hanfeng, and the other is the apprentice of Earl Chi Hanfeng." ”

The Emperor's brows stretched slightly, and he directly twisted his head to Chi Hanfeng, who was shrunk at the end of the crowd: "Count Chi, is that so?"

The old people at the scene all know that the emperor is actually Chi Hanfeng's cousin from the perspective of his family identity, and Chi Hanfeng is a notoriously lazy horn.

When the duke or princess arrived, not only could they not catch the evidence, but they also saw the sensible brother carefully wiping the tears for the prince, of course, they could not hear someone whisper in the prince's ear: "If it is said that I hit it, it will not only be heavier next time, but also, hehe, I will not take you out to play from now on, and let those little sisters ignore you." "Knowing reason, moving with affection, and seducing with profit is undoubtedly one of the testimonies of Count Chi's precociousness.

It is said that sending Count Chi to guard the border pass early was also one of the last resorts for Duke Chi after learning a lot of details.

Chi Hanfeng saw that he really couldn't dodge, and muttered to himself: "Why wasn't it me who was attacked by those people who ate and drank just now." While rubbing in front of the emperor.

"Hmm, is there such a thing?" Probably only Chi Hanfeng dared to talk to the emperor like this in the world, and never called His Majesty, which was also the patent of Chi Hanfeng's unique family. Duke Chi glared at him fiercely on the side, and Chi Hanfeng suddenly became more honest: "Ha, let me think about it, it seems that there is such a thing." Amy is my adopted son, the sister-in-law of the former captain of the Imperial Border Guard, and by the way, the apprentice of Rege, and Daqingshan is my apprentice. ”

The Great Emperor, who had long been accustomed to Chi Hanfeng's hanging tone, did not show any unusual performance, but his words were amazing: "Marshal Chi, in this way, Amy is the son of a high-ranking officer of the empire, and he and Da Qingshan are both A-level mercenaries, in order to ensure the quality of this Phantom Beast Knight selection, can you directly invite them to become candidate knights?"
