A week later, a sunny morning.

The "Great Training Ground" on the outskirts of Idgulashio, where a group of pedestrians passes through a central paved gray stone avenue. The noise on the training grounds on both sides quickly quieted down.

It's not every day that people come to take part in the Executor's Assessment, and this group of pedestrians, who look very special at first glance, quickly attract the attention of the magicians who come here to train. They put down their weapons and stopped to watch.

Three of the pedestrians were clerks, and a man in a black robe-style trench coat walked at the rear. Walking side by side with the first clerk was a child. He was more than half a head shorter than the clerk, and his gray coat was covered with a white scarf with a striking brass badge indicating that he was a regular magician of the Wizarding Alliance.

A watcher, the magician, let out a muffled exclamation. That kid has an obviously childish face, probably fourteen or fifteen years old, such a kid is already a magician? And looking at this lineup, it can't be that he wants to participate in the executor assessment, right?

The man who walked at the back was seen by many, he often entered the city of Idgrasius and was an executor. It seemed that it was really the kid who was going to take part in the assessment! Several people gathered together to whisper, and a completely strange magician raised his hands and shouted "Come on".

Ivan didn't know how to respond to the qiē around him.

Xiu Lin once said that this training ground was very big, but he really didn't expect it to be so big, from the time they walked into the entrance of the training ground until now, they had been walking for more than half an hour, and the clerk who led the way still had no intention of stopping. The clerk was not slow, he was only in a hurry, and he did not introduce the training ground.

Here, it looks like a city with sparse buildings. In the distance, there were not too high hills and woods around the city, and in the near distance there were several strong-looking fortresses, with metal signs tied in front of a wall, and the magic crystals on them were shining, as if they could be used as targets for long-range attacks.

Further on, the greystone avenue extends into a forest, and the terrain begins to rise, presumably leading to the mountain. After walking for a short time, two rows of stone pillars appeared on both sides of the road ahead, and at the top were square magic crystal lamps, and Ivan heard the faint sound of water, and there should be a relatively fast river nearby, so that it did not freeze in winter. Then, a stately white castle appeared in front of him.

The castle was built between some ancient ruins. As soon as he saw the castle, Ivan noticed some ruins around the castle that had not been demolished. The walls, half-buried in the dirt, reveal a heavy sense of vicissitudes. The sloping cylinder is more than ten meters high, and the square base next to it has sunk into the ground, and some ancient and difficult patterns can be faintly recognized. Against the backdrop of these ruins, the neat castle looks a little abrupt.

The clerk stopped at the foot of the long staircase in front of the castle and made a gesture of please.

"This way, Mr. Yafir. He laughs. This clerk Ivan had seen him come to greet Ivan and Isha in the office outside Idgrasius.

And this time, Aisha didn't follow. She originally wanted to wait at the gate of the big training ground until Ivan came back, but she was dragged away by Xiulin to drink tea. The assessment of the executor needs the assistance of an executor, but it cannot be Xiulin, because Ivan is Xiulin's assistant.

For some reason, they chose Carlo. Now Carlo stood at the bottom of the stairs, silent, with a stiff face, as if he had made up his mind not to speak to Ivan.

Ivan didn't expect him to say anything encouraging.

Behind the gate above the staircase is a long and narrow hall, and on the wall facing the gate hangs the emblems of the training ground—tomahawks, spears, and shields—still from that ancient era, with blue brocades embroidered with gold trim against the background. The young clerk walked over to the black sofa chair on the side of the hall and motioned for Ivan to sit across from him.

"Need a cup of tea?" he asked, smiling, in a very kind tone.

"Thanks, no need. Ivan said. He tried to look as calm as he could, but his fingers crossed unconsciously.

The clerk let out a long sigh of relief.

"Judging from your profile, you are the assistant of the executor Xiulin Joan, right?"

"Yes. Ivan replied.

"Miss Joan has already told you about the situation at the 'Aberner Training Ground', right?"

Ivan was slightly stunned. Xiulin didn't say much about this training ground, and when he heard the word "Abernard Training Ground" from the clerk's mouth, it occurred to Ivan that "Big Training Ground" could not be the official name of this training ground. Just like Xiu Lin said "Executor's Library", its name should be "Jade Library".

"She, she's only said a few ......" Ivan took a breath, feeling even more apprehensive, "Actually, I don't know much about ......"

"Huh. The clerk smiled softly and nodded, "Let me introduce myself first, my name is Carey Borg, and you can call me Borg." After a slight pause, the clerk Borg continued, "The Abernard Training Ground used to be an ancient city, but five hundred years ago, it was destroyed by an earthquake, and after that, people found a large number of veins of magic primordial crystals under the ruins of the ancient city. That ancient city was called the city of Aberna, the capital of the ancient kingdom of Aberna, a country that believed in the goddess of light. ”

"Oh. Ivan answered. He had heard that this was the ruins of an ancient city, which had been converted into a training ground by the Wizarding Alliance, and those ruins must be the remains of the ancient city of Abernar.

"Where we are now is the former royal city of the ancient kingdom of Abednar. Borg turned and waved his hand to the vast forest outside the window, "This building, our training ground management center, was built on the ruins of the royal palace. Behind the palace, the ancient Abernards built complex hunting grounds, but it seemed to us more like a labyrinth. ”

At this point, Borg's expression became a little complicated, as if he was laughing and as if he was sympathizing with Ivan. "The assessment item they chose for you is the labyrinth, the entrance is behind the management center, and the exit is at the lookout at the top of the mountain. Please find the exit within an hour and exit the maze from that exit to reach the lookout. ”

"Huh?" Ivan couldn't help but be a little surprised. He heard Xiulin talk about those "magic puppets", and thought that the main content of the assessment was battle, but it turned out to be looking for the exit of the maze, "as long as you find the exit...... Can't?"

"The maze was complicated, and we made some changes to the original hunting grounds. Oh, I see what you mean. Of course, the labyrinth can't be safe, and we've got about eighty fighting puppets in it that will stand in your way. In addition, the maze is huge, and in the maze you will find spatial teleportation devices that may allow you to complete the assessment tasks faster, as well as send you to dangerous places. Will you use a space teleporter?"

Borg leaned forward, his face now full of curiosity.

"No, it won't. Ivan replied honestly, and Borg's eyes narrowed into slits.

"You'll figure them out. Trust me, without using these devices, you'd be hard-pressed to find the exit in an hour. "Any questions?"

Ivan looked at Borg silently, then turned his head to look at the door.

Carlo stood like a statue, the open door greeting someone.

"When it comes to security, you don't have to worry. Borg's tone was half relieved and half amused, and he took a golden spar from the pocket of his white uniform, and held it in the palm of his hand to show Ivan, "Please give me your badge, Mr. Yafir." ”
