Chapter 16: The General
Chapter 16: The General
The matter between the two of them came to an end, and the staff of the recruitment office began their work for the day.
First of all, everyone was gathered together, the number of people was counted, a total of thirty-three people, and then the team was formed, lined up in a square of five horizontal and seven vertical, and finally led by the staff, walking towards the city lord's mansion next to it with neat steps.
......
"Everyone stand up, don't move at will, wait for me to listen to my roll call, and then step forward one by one to accept the formation test, don't feel scared or have anything wrong, this is a level that everyone must pass, but don't let the demons mix into our team!"
In the city lord, an old man who was a bit similar to an examiner in the scientific field, he had a handful of goatee, and he was sitting on the desk in front of the queue at the moment, looking at Lin Ye, Li Tie and a group of recruits, and shouted with full anger.
Listening to his voice, he could clearly feel that this was not an old man who could shout, and Lin Ye was also quite curious in his heart, but it was a pity that he was standing two rows behind the line, and because he didn't dare to move, he couldn't see what was happening in front of him.
I just vaguely saw that the old man had placed something in the open space next to him, and I listened to the introduction of the old man later, it should be a thing to identify whether they were demons or not.
In this regard, Lin Ye said that he really wanted to test it, he was mistaken by Sun Yong as the Monkey King, and he almost didn't cause a riot because of it, but fortunately he suppressed it at the time, otherwise he would have said goodbye to the world in advance.
While Lin Ye was thinking wildly, the old man's voice rang out.
"Zhang Jie stepped forward, Wu Xiong prepared!"
As soon as the words fell, two people came out of the team, one walked into the circle, and the other stood quietly and waited, and after about a quarter of an hour, I heard the old man's angry voice shouting:
"The test has passed, Wu Xiong stepped forward, He Chao prepared!"
“......”
"Quiz Pass ,......"
“......”
"The test is passed, Lin Ye stepped forward, Wang Meng prepared!"
Hearing that the old man with the goatee finally called out his name, Lin Ye, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, muttered casually: "It's finally my turn!"
At this time, the sun had already turned west, and after careful calculation, he had waited for nearly seven hours, and the people in the team had almost left, and now there were only four people standing in the square, if he wasn't sure that he was on the list, Lin Ye couldn't help but wonder if he hadn't been recruited.
Xiao Xiao ran up, quickly came to the old man, saw that the other party nodded, and then there was no need for the old man to talk nonsense, Lin Ye obediently learned from the person in front of him to stand in the formation, and then naturally urged the formation to complete the test.
Lin Ye stood motionless inside, the experience brought by the detection array was very wonderful, with each time the aperture under his feet flowed, it was as if something had penetrated through his body, very similar to an X-ray scan in another time and space.
But reason told Lin Ye that the two should be two concepts, and the detection formation can detect and identify demons, but X-ray scanning does not have such a function.
It's just that things suddenly changed a little, in the process of detection and screening, the blood-colored jade pendant on his chest suddenly moved, and the whole face also changed color at that moment, and a thought also appeared in his mind: Could it be that I was wrong before, Wang Zhijun wants to act at this moment?
However, Lin Ye soon calmed down again, because his consciousness showed no signs of blurring, and there were no signs of falling into a coma, so it was most likely due to other reasons that caused the abnormal movement of the blood-colored jade pendant, which should be inseparable from the detection array in front of him.
As soon as he thought of this, Lin Ye thought about going back to study the detection array to see what caused the jade pendant to move?
Well, that's all!
Thinking so secretly in his heart, suddenly Lin Ye's expression changed again.
His actions just now attracted the attention of the old man, and at this moment, the old man's eyes were fixed, and his gaze shot towards Lin Ye like an eagle falcon, seeing that Lin Ye was uncomfortable, and his back was also cold, as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake, it felt so terrifying!
Cold sweat oozes from my back, and my clothes are basically soaked!
The bad old man is really not simple, just a gaze is so powerful, it scares the young master, I panic, if this horse is moved, I'm afraid it won't be able to pass a move.
It's a good thing you're a bad old man who only stared at it for a while, otherwise I'd have scared you out today!
Feeling guilty in his heart, when the old man's eyes were no longer staring at him, Lin Ye breathed a sigh of relief, and then wanted to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and then found that his body couldn't move at all.
For this reason, there was a little more wry smile at the corner of his mouth.
Today is a long insight, this detection array is by no means a simple detection function, it can also limit the freedom of movement of the person being tested.
If the real demon and the spy get in, I believe that the moment he was discovered by the magic circle, the old man with the goatee should make a move, and then with the help of the imprisonment function of the formation, he will directly kill one of them.
It's really a good method, and the person who designed the formation must be really meticulous and seamless!
Time passed minute by minute, after Lin Ye's test was over, the old man did not ask Wang Meng to come forward to check, but beckoned to Lin Ye and said, "Your test has passed, but the old man has a few words to ask you, come over quickly!"
"Yes!"
At this moment, apart from nodding yes, Lin Ye couldn't think of a second way for him to go.
Obediently came to the old man's side, buried his head slightly, like a frightened quail, motionless, could only wait for the old man's interrogation and inquiry.
"Your name is Lin Ye, right?"
"Hmm!"
"But the old man remembers that there is no cultivation family surnamed Lin in the city, where did you learn your method?"
"If you go back to your predecessors, I wasn't originally from Fanyang City, but I only came to Fanyang City recently. ”
"Oh, what do you mean?
"No, no, the junior came from the mountains, and met the people of the escort team on the way, and then he followed him into Fanyang City, and wanted to find a way to live, so he participated in the recruitment of the escort team. ”
"The origin is still unknown, but since you were able to pass the test of the detection formation, I think it is indeed a descendant of my human race, but why were you panicking just now, could it be that you are hiding some ulterior secret?"
"This..."
"Don't say it, the old man will slap you right now!"
"Yes, yes, it's mainly because the younger generation is shallow, and they haven't seen such a strange thing as the detection array, so they are inevitably curious, so they tried to move a few times when they were in the array, but found that they couldn't even move at all, so it was inevitable in their hearts...... Inevitably......"
"Are you scared?"
"Yes, yes!"
Lin Ye's explanation was okay, at least there were no logical loopholes, and because he passed the formation test, the old man would not kill him as a demon, and finally stared at Lin Ye carefully before waving his hand and saying, "Go and wait over there, don't move around and try it in the future." ”
"Yes, thank you for your teachings!"
"Hmm!"
With the old man's soft hum, the next test began again, needless to say, Wang Meng had no problem, and the remaining two people had no problem, but by the time the test was completed, the sun had already set in the western mountains, and the day seemed to be over.
......
There was no word all night, and the next morning, everyone was called to gather, and then led by the old man with a goatee, to the center of the main hall of the city lord's mansion.
After talking with Li Tie last night, Lin Ye already knew who he was going to meet today.
A big man, a titular supreme leader of Fanyang City, Lord Fang Youlin of Fanyang City!
This kind of thing is similar to the palace test in ancient times, anyway, it is a means for the upper ruler to show grace to the lower, generally after the test, stay for a meal, nagging each other and say a few words, and the matter is almost over.
However, this time was a little different, Lin Ye didn't expect the city lord to personally give them weapons and armor, and patted everyone's shoulders to show encouragement.
Just now, Lin Ye experienced it himself, and now it's been a while, his whole person is still a little muddy, fluttering, and his heels can't touch the ground!
Knowing that this was a routine, but when the city lord's hand slapped him on the shoulder, it still made his face flush with excitement, just like drinking fake wine in his face, and it was similar to taking viagra and not being able to vent, and his face was as red as a monkey's ass.
Could it be that the superior really has incredible magical powers, and can a simple action bring countless people to their hearts?
I couldn't figure it out, looking at the war knife and armor in his hand, and then at Li Tie, who was also excited like a fool on the side, Lin Ye's inner doubts became a little deeper.
Perhaps!
Perhaps the superior really has incredible magical powers, otherwise how could there be countless people who have longed for the throne that represents power for thousands of years?
A grace meeting for the superiors, a thanksgiving meeting for the subordinates, ended at three o'clock in the afternoon, during which the excited people did not remember anything, just remember to dedicate all their bodies to the city lord in the future, and then say a word, and ask the city lord to have great mercy!
Damn, what do you want!
You're so shameless!
Vomit......
Lin Ye scolded himself, and after coming back to his senses, he noticed that he was already at another banquet!
This is a dinner party, but the host is no longer the city lord, but three other people, he actually knows all three people, a big beauty Fang Xiaoyun, a sao bag He Xin, and a profiteer Wu Zhiwen!
Well, Lin Ye said that he was a little confused, what are the three of them doing here?
"Brother Lin, are you with me?" Li Tiedao.
"Together with what?"
"Let's go and meet the future generals!"
"Watfak, what is the Lord?"
"Brother Lin, you're not drunk, you don't even know the general...... Hey, forget it, I'll tell you about it, this will be the Lord...... Anyway, we have to listen to him in the future, whether it is going up the knife mountain or going down to the oil pot, we are not allowed to turn around!"
"Oh, didn't that sell us to him?"
"This ...... This one...... It seems to be the same reason!" Li Tie touched the back of his head, it was really funny to be stupid, and at the end, he heard him say again: "Brother Lin, you are really incisive in your words!"
Hearing this, Lin Ye couldn't help but spray rice directly!
"Brother Li has won the award, he has won the award! By the way, I don't know which one Brother Li plans to worship as the general?"
"I plan to worship Miss Fang's subordinates, and the family also asks for this, they say that Miss Fang is highly talented, and she has a great future in the future, and she may be able to take over the position of city lord, and it is best to follow her!"
"Which Miss Fang?"
"Hey, sit in the middle. ”
Following the direction of Li Tie's finger, Lin Ye saw Fang Xiaoyun, who was dressed in white and particularly conspicuous, I don't know if it was a heart, Fang Xiaoyun happened to look at them, the moment the two looked at each other, Lin Ye opened his mouth without hesitation, and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you!"
"Haha, okay, we will be good brothers who live and die together in the future!"
"Live and die together!"
"Live and die together!"
