Chapter 35 The troublesome so-called test

In fact, no one may have had time to think about abstention. (If you like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)

As the mage's voice fell, the door opened to the maximum, and a cold mist erupted outward, enveloping everyone in an instant. The fog was so dense that the huge mouth of the monster suddenly closed and the light that disappeared from the field of vision instantly ignited a deep fear, and the uncontrollable screams of women suddenly rang out......

Thankfully, the shrill cry didn't last long—a little mist of luster flickered before a few timid fellows joined in the wail, dispelling the darkness and fear a little.

The thirty or so apprentices looked at each other, and once again the vision that worked gradually calmed them down, and they noticed that the scenery in front of them had changed once more—the only light source was dancing on an intricately carved lampstand, and the dim and cold light barely illuminated the area of about sixty feet, but it was only the intensity of the appearance. The black slate stretched outward at the foot of the light, and at the end of the light source, it became one with the deep darkness, and on the boundary between light and dark, the dark and moving shadows seemed to be some kind of ominous monster, which made most of the little ghosts who were accustomed to the sun tremble, and involuntarily gathered into several small circles according to the pro-Shu Cheng dù.

That's right, more than thirty.

Edward raised his eyebrows, noticing that the aristocratic young man who had been beside him had disappeared, and all that was left was a dozen or so little ones who looked at each other a little farther away...... and the group of Krurods shrouded in navy blue and taupe robes, who did not say a word.

"Teleportation again...... Even if it's convenient, it's too wasteful. He muttered under his breath.

Darkness evokes the most primal fears in human hearts, but for Edward, those hidden in the darkness are not much different from those under the sun, and he turns his gaze to notice that everyone is in a narrow hall...... No, or should it be called a corridor?, the black, polished stone slabs are arranged more than ten feet high, and the walls are bridged on the left, right, and rear sides, together with the ceiling decorated with rough cross patterns. Limit the space to a few tens of feet in width. At the end of the line of sight on the far side, it seems that a structure resembling a door.

"What is this place?"

"The mage just said it was a test...... Did anyone hear what he was saying?".

"He didn't say ......"

After standing for a few breaths, an apprentice poked the person next to him and asked blankly. However, the people next to them could only shake their heads blankly, until a few flickering balls of light slowly rose, and the pale luster broke through the darkness, and they suddenly began to follow suit, but when the surroundings gradually became brighter, and they noticed the scene in the corridor, a loud voice attracted everyone's attention.

"Please be silent. ”

The voice was voiced by a tall figure in a long brown robe, who seemed to be the tallest of the Krurods and their leader. He casually pushed down the hood on his head, revealing a face with rough facial features, and there seemed to be a little age-appropriate immaturity in his eyebrows, but a large tattoo that came out of the clothes on his back and spread along his neck to the top of his shaved head was enough to be ignored.

"Either you don't know us, or someone has gotten some news, but it doesn't matter if they know who we are or not. Because you just need to listen carefully to what I'm going to say. ”

His lingua franca sounded a little funny with a clumsy flicking of his tongue, but the dull voice and stern expression still made the sentence full of power, especially as the three people behind him had already choked and pulled out two scimitars from under their robes

This scimitar is a favorite talisman of the Barbarian Krulod, and although it is not necessarily comparable to the elaborate sword of enchantment, it is usually forged with rare metals mined in the mountains, and the power exerted between swings is so incredible that in the hands of some experienced samurai, it can even split a person from head to toe.

And these teenagers who were sent to learn magic, the blades in their hands were obviously extraordinary, the blades reflected a hazy luster, and seemed to carry an invisible cold wind pressure, causing the apprentices who only had fragile robes and wooden staff to hurriedly retreat, and a series of low exclamations.

"I don't know what these mages are trying to do, but we're determined to get it. The speaker's gaze swept over the frightened little faces, and the bald head with half of the tattoo on the side nodded slightly, as if satisfied with the reaction of the crowd: "We intend to achieve the best results, so, at the critical time, I hope that you will cooperate with us and announce your abstention, so that we will naturally send appropriate thanks in the future." ”

"Thanks, if we abstain, we won't be able to enter the academy? Is that a problem that a little gratitude can solve? And who doesn't know that the better the grades, the easier it is to get the attention of the tutors, can your gratitude be more valuable than the teachings of the tutors?" An apprentice who stood farther away let out a low sneer: "With a few words, you want to snatch away the qualification to teach, don't you think too beautiful?"

"You're not going to cooperate, are you?" the bald young man's face sank, and he sneered and cast a fierce gaze on the most gorgeous figure of all, his lingua franca was not fluent, so every sentence was extremely straightforward: "Little ghost, you'd better think carefully about the consequences of doing so." ”

"That's right, I'm not cooperative, what do you want?" the little 'mage' sneered without concession, raised the wand in his hand, now the distance between the two was quite far, he was extremely confident that he could finish chanting a spell before the other party rushed up, not to mention, he was sure that the other party could not really make a move on this occasion: "What do you think is this place? Your rotten mountain? The wild people and beasts there may be afraid of your rotten knives but I ......"

The voice suddenly stopped, because two purple streamers had already crossed a distance of more than ten feet, crackling into his abdomen, and the attached force knocked him bent over, and let out a wail

This scream was heard far away in the corridor, echoing in layers of hollows, making all the apprentices shrink their bodies, as if it had hit them.

And when the voice gradually weakened, the spell caster spoke slowly, not loud, but enough to penetrate everyone's ears clearly: "This time is to make you remember a little longer, and the holy mountain cannot be desecrated...... And the stupid little guy. You should be glad it's not Cruel here, otherwise someone would have cut off your head as a sacrifice. What's more, why do you think that our weapons are only knives?"

"Interesting ......"

Edward's eyes narrowed slightly, noticing the figure standing in the midst of the crowd of Krulrods. Well, to be precise, the movement of the other party's hand - although the voice was cold and low, with a slight metallic sound, but the pulled burqa created the two curves that stood proudly, but it revealed a little secret of the other party's gender.

Well, mages are not gender-constrained, and women's delicate ways of thinking make them a good fit to be part of this group, but Edward's amazement is that after all, her presence here means that she is no more than fifteen years old. And fifteen years old is already so fruitful...... No, it's sturdy and tall?

For a while, he couldn't help but have a little curiosity about the face under the hood, but it was a pity that the burqa on the tall figure was not only wide and tight, but the face under the hood seemed to be wearing a smooth and delicate metal mask......

"You ...... How dare you, dare to commit murder......"

"What about the mentors, disqualify them, expel them, these people are here to make trouble......"

“......”

The little mages who hated the same enemy gathered in a circle, messily and noisy, but the number of people was not necessarily overwhelming. The pitiful crusade was low and thin, not at all as good as a cat's meow.

Nomadic and hunter-hunting peoples have always been fierce, and the beasts of prey that roam this world are far more than just big cats, and the countless dangers on the wasteland are almost no less than the battlefield. Therefore, even if they are still young, the savage aura of a few Krurod apprentices, who fight with the wilderness and mountains, is not something that has grown up in these greenhouses, and the cats and dogs who have only seen a few fighting beasts can resist it, and a few guys who are ready to sing runes are just swept by that look, and their hearts tremble involuntarily, and their voices naturally change their tone.

But having strength doesn't mean it's right.

Before it was determined whether the guò test would be passed, most of the people were offended in advance. These people are so proud...... Or, in other words, the stupid can be called a barbarian in vain - this is not some kind of arena copy, how can the mages use cannibalism to identify apprentices? Since it is a trial, the mages have their own way to monitor the process and threaten to discuss the results obtained, can they get permission?

The chaotic confrontation made a certain hunter roll his eyes and slander in his heart.

However, the next thing doesn't seem to be easy to do without them - now that there are at least half of the numbers, obviously not necessarily so many people abstain, so it means that everyone has probably been divided into two groups, and who can be sure that the purpose of the academy is not to see which side has more people left in the end?

"Guys, who knows what this exam is about, or does anyone know the ultimate goal?"

The next moment, the tense confusion was interrupted by a loud question, drawing their eyes to the hunter who was standing still. Listening to him ask unhurriedly, he said: "There are a few people over there, before playing infighting, should you consider whether your approach meets the needs of the situation? Or the ability is not very good, but these little guys, at least they can release some spells to deal with possible troubles, after all, there is still some use." ”

"Useful? What can this waste do? Don't try to play tricks, Plainsman. ”

The bald barbarian stared at the loud, older-looking fellow, and did not hide his disgust and vigilance at all - these cunning and timid plainmen were the best at using some despicable means, plotting against their comrades, and defecting from the battle, and he had heard too much of such things from his elders, so he didn't mind knocking them over as much as possible, and he could simply solve the problem......

In fact, he would have liked to do so - those grassroots-thin imps, who don't need to use their fists, and fall with a pinch of two fingers, and as for the spells they will use, they won't do much as they find a few unlucky ones to use as shields.

However, this guy who opened his mouth was different from those imps.

The standing posture with relaxed shoulders and the slightly flickering sharp gaze all smelled dangerous. An aura that made his muscular body begin to tighten up - an aura that only a character who has killed many people and does not take human life seriously. The young Krulod was alerted by this, and couldn't help but keep an eye on every subtle movement of the other party, in case he suddenly attacked.

But the other party just sighed.

"It's very useful, for example, when there are a lot of enemies. He spoke softly.

And the sound was like a switch, but as soon as it fell, the whole dark hall seemed to come alive from a dead silence.

A voice came—like a twig dragging over the ground, then a second, then a third, small at first, but as if from far and near, it gradually resounded from all directions...... Finally, several shadows rushed out of the darkness and pounced on the crowd of people who were looking around in a daze

Their movements were not very fast, but the dim lighting and the fixed thinking of the dispute made most of the apprentices just freeze in place, wondering if there was something wrong with their eyes. The pale light of the Dancing Light Technique reflected the disgusting appearance of these guys, they had the appearance of a human, but apparently that was a long time ago, and now the peeling of time had left them with only a body of rotten yellow bones, and muscles that had not yet rotted and were hanging on the bones, making a gurgling sound with their movements, which made people's scalps tingle when they looked at it.

The moment of sluggishness was enough for a skeleton to reach out and grab the foot of an apprentice's robe and push him to the ground. The gaping mouth, the shattered scorched teeth, and the flickering soul flames in the eye sockets made the poor victim scream like a poor girl who had been pushed down by a pervert.

Well, she actually seems to be a little girl...... Therefore, this voice was extremely poignant and sharp, and it also broke the nerves of almost all the little ghosts in an instant.

"Undead...... Undead"

"Help"

The undead are the eternal theme of horror stories, and in this world where ghosts and monsters really exist, it is a taboo thing, so many of the little ones can't help but scream together. Holding his head, he scrambled to retreat

The scene suddenly became chaotic...... Edward couldn't help but sigh again.

"Calm down and attack them with magic, whatever you want. ”

He grabbed a little guy who ran past him and gave him a backhand slap to calm him down. Then commanded.

Luckily, the little guy seemed to have some skill - the sharp pain on his face and the cold drink ringing in his ears finally reminded him of his identity, and he trembled and recited a spell, and spewed a large stream of fan-shaped flames into the group of skeletons with his backhand, and then a large number of skeletons were enveloped in this flame. They opened their mouths and made no sound, their eyes flashed red, and finally they were reduced to ashes in the fire.

It's so weak...... So it's that simple?

The blazing fire was like a signal, a shot in the arm, which made a group of imps immediately stop panicking.

One, two, three, five...... More and more of the guys remembered who they were, and the fear and anger quickly reversed between the attack and the target.

Burning Hands, Lightning, Acid Balls, Sonic ...... The apprentices, who had not yet entered the school, were soon elated, for the things they had used in the dark were not enemies at all, but objects of abuse given to them. So everyone was torturing this group of unlucky ghosts who had long since passed away with their best spells, and for a moment, the glorious scene in this corridor was simply incomprehensible......

In the blink of an eye, the skeleton had been torn apart into a pile of dry bones. Of course, the elated imps were not interested in paying attention to some young mercenary who was shaking his head and sighing next to them.

Trials obviously can't be that simple, and these idiots obviously haven't experienced the embarrassment of running out of spell slots yet...... The way mages solve puzzles has always been wisdom rather than magic. This is an adage that even Edward, who has no ability to cast spells, has heard it countless times...... But he wasn't interested in correcting the mistakes of these little devils.

Edward's attention has always been focused on the few guys who are not too hard like him, although they are still not very strong, but at least they can have a certain level of achievement, and maybe they may help him solve the problems he is currently facing in the study of spells, or psionic materials.

But the difficulty of the trial was immediately revealed.

An apprentice waved his hand and spilled three magic missiles, blasting a skeleton to pieces, but just as he proudly assumed a posture that he thought was good, a rusty long knife pierced through his chest and abdomen with a tooth-aching thud, his eyes widened in disbelief, looking at the guy who was missing half of his body and scattered on the ground, he opened his mouth in horror, as if he was about to scream, but the long knife had not hesitated to go down, and the rusty jagged blade tore apart the cloth and flesh under the impetus of the force, and the blood and colorful internal organs under it flowed out with a soft sound

This scene suddenly plunged the scene into a panic again

Although there had been a warning that was not trivial or serious, they had no idea that this test would be so dangerous - they would need to take their lives.

The fear of death is not something that ordinary people can bear, and it is impossible for the children of wealthy merchants and nobles who live well-to-do to have such an awareness...... The arrogance and calmness that had just gathered turned to dust at this moment, and most of them screamed and retreated, fleeing to a safer place in the hall, and the gradually narrowing aisles even made them push everyone around them, trying to make them delay the attack of those terrible enemies. The whole team was instantly disorganized, and retreated to the other end of the hallway.

As for magic, can you expect a bunch of guys who have almost forgotten their names to remember that kind of complicated thing?

Especially at this moment, another apprentice was killed, a long rusty knife pierced his chest and abdomen, and he gasped, and his body was ripped open by the blade of the long knife, and the blood and colorful internal organs under it flowed out with a soft thud

This tragic scene caused a shout in the team to explode again, only Edward, who was slowly retreating, his pupils flickered slightly......

This scene seems a little familiar?
