Chapter XVIII
"It's going to take a little bit of time to get to the black court, so we can test it first. ”
"Testing?"
"Test what level of your abilities you have. ”
"How?"
Xiao Lin was separated from Su He and the others on the transport ship, and followed the black-robed man to his airship, the airship was not big, and there were only two rooms left except for the control room, which was just used for the two of them to rest.
Xiao Lin doesn't care about going to the black court, he is quite a bit of a broken jar now, he is alone, he has no friends and no relatives, his mind is full of how to get revenge, all he thinks about all day long is how to become stronger, and there are no other requirements.
In the past so many days, he has seen killings, bloodshed, and strange scenes, and he feels that he is too weak now to even protect himself from life, and any random person along the way wants to capture him or kill him.
This feeling that his life is not under his control makes him very unhappy, so he agreed to Su He to follow the black-robed man to the black court, of course, in addition to gaining strength, it is also to avoid some unnecessary troubles, what kind of attitude the four empires treat him is unknown, and there is no harm in avoiding the limelight.
"The detection is very simple, just do some instrument scanning. The black-robed man's words brought Xiao Lin's thoughts back to reality.
Before they knew it, they had arrived at the airship control room, where various instruments were constantly beating, and there were many dizzying numbers.
The black-robed man took out a silver rectangular instrument, on which there were many fingers pointing to the dashboard that were dialing back and forth, and two small probes stretched out on both sides of the instrument, and the black-robed man beckoned Xiao Lin to do a good job in his position.
Xiao Lin sat down on the chair in confusion, and watched the black-robed man fiddling with the instrument there a little nervously.
"This is the energy detector, the rudimentary version of course, but it can also test the indicators of your body, and at the same time detect the cultivation level of your four abilities. The black-robed man explained to Xiao Lin while fiddling with the instrument.
"What's the matter with your hands?" Xiao Lin said to himself, he had noticed the difference in the man's palm before, but he didn't ask.
The black-robed man was stunned for a moment, and looked at his palm, which was a pair of palms of completely opposite colors, his right hand was pitch black, and the nail cover was blood red, while his left hand was a miserable white, and the nail cover was blue, which didn't look like a human palm at all, and it made people's spines run cold.
"Innate. The black-robed man said easily, "You can call me Ghost Hand in the future, which is also my code name in the Black Court." ”
"Don't you have a name?"
"The name doesn't matter to me anymore, it's the ghost hand that matters. The black-robed man said calmly.
The ghost hand adjusted the instrument, held the probe in both hands and slowly pierced Xiao Lin's skin, stabbed one in each arm, and one on both sides of the lower abdomen.
Xiao Lin originally thought it would be very painful, but it turned out to be unexpectedly relaxed, with only a slight soreness and numbness, and a little coolness.
"What the hell is a black court?"
"Don't you know?"
"I don't know, Sukh told me that I could get strength by going there, so I agreed, without asking. ”
The ghost hand was a little speechless, the kid agreed to go to the dark court without knowing anything, and he could already have a premonition that the baby's future life would become quite miserable.
"To put it bluntly, the Black Court is an organization that serves the Empire, an assassination organization. Ghost Hand glanced at the instrument whose pointer kept beating and said slowly, "It belongs directly to the throne and is not under the jurisdiction of anyone else, of course, sometimes even the throne can't control it." ”
"You can't control the throne? Then you don't rebel if you want to. Xiao Lin's eyes widened and he asked with some puzzlement.
"Why rebel?" the ghost was stunned, he couldn't keep up with the child's brain circuits.
"Forget it, so you're just a department that exists to kill people. ”
"Sort of, the empire needs people to do something shady, if you accidentally die, the empire will not collect your body, nor will it admit that you are serving the empire, let alone erect a monument to commemorate you. ”
"It's so miserable. Xiao Lin muttered, but after thinking about it, even if he died, no one would come to commemorate him, so it didn't seem to be a big problem.
"Also, the Black Court is a very hierarchical place, and that's something you better keep in mind. ”
"Why?"
"Just a suggestion, if you treat the rest of the people in the Black Court the same way you did Sukh, you will probably be miserable. ”
"Well, I ......"
"Didi. The detector rang at this time, interrupting Xiao Lin's words.
The ghost hand took the probe from Xiao Lin's body and began to carefully examine the detected data, with an expression on his face.
"Hey, what's the result?"
"Physical ability is what a normal age group should have, there is a level of nine, maybe a little above the average, but it is not outstanding. ”
"Rank nine?"
This is a term for quantifying physical ability, which is convenient for statistics and comparison, and can be used as a reference when obtaining titles and assigning positions. ”
"Be clear. ”
"The four empires divide the various indicators of ability, including physical indicators, ability indicators and mental indicators, into one to ten levels, which are used to distinguish the combat power between people with different abilities. ”
"Aren't I weak, then?"
"You're not weak, you're weak to the extreme. ”
“......”
"Show me the data. Xiao Lin was curious, he wanted to know how this ability was divided.
As a result, he looked up and down the instrument handed over by the ghost: "You can explain it to me, I don't understand it." ”
"It's an indicator of physical ability, you're level nine, just reaching the average level of ability in this age group. The ghost pointed to one of the dashboards and said, "This is the value of your four major abilities, which has reached the level of eight, which is considered to be ahead of the average of your peers." ”
"Then I still have strengths. Xiao Lin couldn't help but feel a little proud.
"It's okay, there have been people who are two or three years younger than you before, and their indicators have reached the level of level four. The ghost hand hit Xiao Lin lightly.
Xiao Lin pursed his lips and rolled his eyes, two or three years younger than him?
"By the way, the general needs to reach the first level of various abilities, what about the throne?" Xiao Lin was strange, the first level has come to an end, but there is a supreme throne above the general, representing the most powerful person in the entire country.
"The power of the throne is immeasurable. Ghost Hand said slowly.
"What do you mean. ”
"It means that the data of the throne is beyond the scope of the meter detection, and when your various indicators can burst the instrument one day, you will reach the level of the throne. ”
Xiao Lin looked at the pointer that was beating at the end of the dashboard, stuck out his tongue, and it seemed that it was too early for him to blow up the instrument.
"Judging from the current data, you can only join the ordinary training camp of the Black Court, and you can't go to the genius training camp for the time being. ”
"What's going on with the bootcamp?"
"The function of the Black Court shows that this is a high-risk job, and the number of casualties is high every year, so it is natural to replenish fresh blood, so the form of training camp is adopted to train new people. ”
"What was that genius camp?"
"You can only enter the training camp if you reach the seventh level standard before the age of twelve, where there are the best abilities and the most abundant resources in the entire Black Court, and it is a place to cultivate true masters. ”
"Why?"
"In the division of levels, 1357 represents the four huge thresholds of ability, from level nine to level eight, after a certain amount of training can be reached, but level seven will become quite difficult, this is the conclusion drawn from the statistical perspective of so many years, so reaching level seven before the age of twelve means that you have great potential and are worthy of our training. ”
"I'm almost eleven years old, and I still have a year to go. Xiao Lin is very confident in himself, he thinks that no matter how awesome others are, he can have him? He has a huge door that opens up and everyone else hits, if he can't reach the seventh level, what kind of revenge can he say.
The ghost hand glanced at Xiao Lin lightly: "Lord Killing Sword told me your story and knew your plans, now my advice to you is not to think so far ahead, and honestly break into the genius training camp." ”
"No problem. Xiao Lin patted his chest and assured that he was actually a little drumming in his heart, but at this time, he couldn't be allowed to retreat, just do it, and if it didn't work, it would be okay.
"Let's rest for a while, it'll take some time. The ghost hand beckoned, and sat down in his seat and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
Xiao Lin leaned back on the chair with his hands on his chest, a light flashed in his eyes, and he quietly did not speak again.
"What did you say? You gave that kid to the Black Court, Suhe, what do you mean!" an old man stood in the central control room of the transport ship, pointing at Suhe, blowing his beard and glaring.
Su He spread his hands: "Going to the Black Court is the best choice, away from the power struggle between the empires, your old man can go to the Black Court if you want someone." ”
The old man's face was pale, and he was so angry that his head was about to smoke, he was a representative sent by the Central Council, and he came all the way to take Xiao Lin away, but the child was sent away by Su He in advance, and he was sent to the Black Court, which was a place that even the Central Council could not touch.
Next to the old man stood a man in a military uniform, who was a representative sent by the military department, and he was also coming for Xiao Lin.
"Sukh, do you know that that kid is very important. The old man stared at Sukh fiercely.
"So I sent him to the Black Court, which was the safest place in Tianxiang. ”
"Do you know the origin of that child, you just sent him to the black court casually?" The old man was so angry that he was about to go crazy, he came in such a hurry, firstly, to grasp the power of the door in the hands of the council, and secondly, Xiao Lin's identity was too sensitive to be so casual.
"What is the origin, I would love to know. Su He's face also became serious, he had been thinking about Xiao Lin's identity for a long time, he was tempting all the way but Xiao Lin didn't say anything, he sent Xiao Lin to the black court for part of the reason, the black court will investigate Xiao Lin's origin sooner or later, few people can hide the secret in front of the black court, he didn't expect that the empire had found out Xiao Lin's background.
The old man's face was very serious, thinking of Xiao Lin's identity, the wrinkles on his face were deeper, like crisscrossing ravines carved on his face, his voice was a little hoarse and a little muddy, he said slowly and softly: "He is a fugitive!"
