For Curt, reworking his relationship with Randall was a challenge. Originally, they were already relatively close, a bit of a good friend. This was also Curt's plan, and he hoped to use Randall to learn as much as possible about the Facelings.
But now Randall has suddenly become an attractive woman, which catches Curt off guard. After all, there is a difference between men and women, and many of the methods used against men are not suitable for women. What's more, Randall has countless suitors, and staying by her side can easily provoke right and wrong. Curt didn't want to be treated as an enemy by a large group of mages for the sake of a woman.
In any case, the facts will not change. All Curt can do is try to use his brain and make a slick correction plan. Curt looked at the large pile of spellcasting equipment, trying to find something to talk about from above. At this time, Randall came over and spoke first:
"What's the matter, you have something on your mind?"
"No, it's just a little unaccustomed. โ
Curt shrugged, feeling a little embarrassed. Randall's eyes were like beautiful sapphires, and against the long burgundy background, they were too gorgeous to look at. With the purple tattoos on his cheeks as a background, those eyes have an indescribable depth, as if they can suck into the human soul. Curt avoided Randall's gaze and said very cautiously:
"Lady Catherine......"
"Call me Randall, Randall is my real name, my mother's name. My teacher didn't like the name and thought Catherine was more feminine. I killed him when he tried to rape me, and sadly, by then everyone else was used to calling me Catherine. And don't call me Madam, I'm as old as you, Curt. โ
Randall interrupted Curt and gushed out. She winked a little playfully, then turned around, and said as the burgundy flew up:
"I know what you're thinking, Curt, and I know what you're worried about. But there's no need, we're faceless brothers, there's nothing to be polite about. The Faceless are all in pairs, and only they know each other's true identities except for Lord Eoham. We will be united by blood until we die. โ
"That's an honor. โ
Curt replied with a smile, finally relieved a little. He approached Randall slowly, and said in an appreciative tone:
"I've heard of you, Randall. Five years ago, you were the focus of the entire Thousand Laws City. I was an apprentice at the time, and you had sent the High Mage Derby, your teacher, to hell. You affirm that it was a decent spell duel, and you proved yourself by defeating three mid-level mages who challenged you. There are several old perverts who have courted you and want to take you into their hands. But you rejected them all, and in the end, you survived in the Thousand Laws City on your own, and you lived well. You've probably had a lot of difficulties, and I'm curious how you managed to solve them in private. โ
"You overestimate me, Curt, I'm not as great as you think. โ
Randall looked deeply at Curt, a hint of sadness in his eyes. This look is enough to make ninety percent of men soft in the bones, but fortunately, Curt has seen too much of Ani's appearance, but he doesn't feel too much. He politely remained silent, listening to Randall's sad words:
"At that time, I was lowly and similar to you a few months ago. I can't resist any of the intermediate mages...... So they made me choose whether to let them do whatever they wanted, or to die in pain and shame. Then Lord Eorham suddenly appeared and killed all the vile villains. He gave me an arcane tattoo and taught me how to use spells. Without the help of Lord Eoham...... Curt, now you can probably find me in the ** in the docklands. โ
โ...... Sorry for reminding you of something bad. โ
Curt was a little impressive, and also felt a little wolf bรจi. He wanted to hear about Randall's glorious deeds and brag about the other party. It's a pity that today's Curt is unlucky, and he always doesn't open which pot to mention. He thought for a moment, then forced a smile and said:
"You've made a name for yourself, Randall. That's enough, the past has long since gone with the wind. โ
"It's just Lord Ioham's handout, and I can't do anything on my own. โ
Randall shook his head, seemingly drowning in the past. When Curt hesitated to comfort him, Randall burst into laughter. She naturally took Curt's hand, leaned in front of Curt and said:
"That's right, I'm talented, probably one in a thousand. That's why Lord Eorham will help me, save me, and raise me to be a faceless one. Oh, Curt, are you sympathetic to me? Probably a woman's intuition, I always think you're a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person. At least when it comes to treating friends, you're quite generous. โ
"It's over. โ
The body fragrance invaded from a subtle distance, making Curt a little dizzy. He admired the sea-blue eyes that were close at hand, and listened to Randall say happily:
"I think we're going to get along just fine. I admire you for relying on your own strength to get out of the predicament and climb step by step to where you are today. Lady Ioham was probably like you when he was younger, isn't it? It's hard to imagine anyone more powerful than you. โ
"Sorry, I wanted to digress the subject. Venerable Xi has said that I need to be tested next full moon. What can you tell me about this?"
Curt has been praised several times as a rival to the younger Ioham. But Curt didn't like to boast about himself with the glory of his enemies, so he changed the subject abruptly. Randall looked disappointed and took a step back from the audible distance of Curt's breath. She let go of Curt's hand, and said with a stern expression:
"You'll have to survive a month in the gray wilderness, Curt, a whole month. You have to leave here, leave this world, and go to a plane full of demons and demons. It was a bloody battle, and even the gods did not dare to act in a high-profile manner in the gray wilderness. The only thing you need to do is survive and wait for a month to pass. When the time is up, Lord Eorham will summon you back to the City of a Thousand Laws. โ
With Curt's ability, he couldn't help but have cramps in his cheeks after hearing the content of the test. Demons and demons are powerful, they are beastly and depraved monsters. As for the Grey Wilds, they are outer planes with intensely evil properties. Those who stay in the gray wilderness will gradually lose hope and vitality, and become zombie-like walking corpses.
In addition, the gray wilderness is also the main battlefield of the bloody battle. The Bloody War is a magnificent war that is said to have lasted from the beginning of the multiverse to the present day. Demons and demons are the main participants in the war, and they represent the two fundamental characteristics of the multiverse, chaos and order. In fact, in the infinite time, all races have been drawn into bloody wars to a greater or lesser extent. Humans are one of them, and even the most powerful humans rarely survive a bloody war.
Curt felt a wave of vertigo, he never dreamed that the Faceless Person's test would be so severe. Very few high-level mages dare to venture into bloody battles, and they would rather choose safer methods to increase their strength. Although blood battles can sharpen the survivors and fly to their limits. But in the face of a low survival rate, no matter how high the reward is, it will not outweigh the loss.
โ...... How did you get through the guรฒ test?"
Curt was silent for a long time before asking in a low voice. Randall smiled back with a sly smile, and said with a smile:
"I've brought enough food and ready for the Shelter Spell. I dug an underground space in the wilderness and hid in a refuge hut created by spells every day. โ
"Is that okay?"
Curt sighed with relief, feeling that he had taken the issue too seriously. The Refuge Hut is a level 3 spell that creates a magical house that is insulated and waterproof. Moreover, the magic house can be stored for a long time, and there is a magic flame burning inside for lighting and heating. Mages who travel long distances will prepare similar spells to set up camp and rest at night. If the test was only about surviving in the gray wilderness, Curt thought it would be acceptable.
"It worked, but unfortunately, I got the lowest grade, and Lord Ioham barely qualified me. โ
Randall shrugged his shoulders with a sneaky and pretty expression. She shook her head and said with a little regret:
"So I only got the secondary demon summoning staff as proof of promotion to the Faceless. It's the one I used in the last battle against the druids. The Lesser Demon Summoning Staff can only summon Flo or Quasai to help me harass and raid my enemies. Someone who got a high score on a test was rewarded with the Otherworldly Covenant Ring. I've worked with him and watched the six-armed snake demon summoned by the Ring tear down a mage tower. โ
"That's amazing, I just need to survive. โ
Curt shook his head and decided not to answer again. Although men have the urge to boast in front of attractive women, Curt still feels that life is much more important in comparison. Now that he knew what he wanted to know, he decided to take his leave and go back to his preparations. When Curt revealed that he wanted to leave, Randall greeted him very warmly. This made Curt's head very big, and he had to say seriously:
"That...... Randall. You must know that the people who pursue you can line up from here to the gate of the Thousand Law City. If they see me walking out of your mage tower, I guess they won't give me a good look from now on, even if they don't break my leg right away. โ
"That's exactly what I need. โ
Randall smiled sinisterly, reminding Curt of a poisonous rose. When Curt secretly screamed that it was not good, Randall said softly:
"I need a flower messenger to help me chase away pesky flies. Curt, you're my faceless brother, and who better for the role than you?"
Curt finally realized that he was destined to be pitted.
