Chapter 7: The Half-Beauty (I)

Returning from the temple, Arthur was immediately placed in a fully enclosed training camp, which was a large cliff in the Thorn Mountain, from which the endless forest sea was viewed, it was very spectacular, this camp was very realistic, except for a few large tents, and a few bonfires, a large group of children had gathered in front of the largest tent here, and in front of the team stood a few people, men and women, and in the middle was a thin old man. Most of these children were human, but there were also several other races, ranging from fifteen or sixteen years old to twelve or thirteen years old. When Arthur arrived, they all looked at Arthur curiously. Wait until Arthur also stands at the edge of the line. The old man smiled at him, and then said to everyone: "My name is Claude, I am your chief instructor, you are the elite selected from the various druid training camps, you will receive special training here, there will be an exam in three months, and those who pass can stay for further training, I hope you can cherish this time and not be eliminated." Arthur was also amazed that the old man, Claude, had a terrifying voice, and it was hard to imagine how his shriveled chest could make such a loud sound.

Then a few people around the old man spoke, which reminded Arthur of the junior high school military training when he was on Earth, but the atmosphere here was obviously much better, and those people just said their names and what they were responsible for. Let Arthur sigh very much: The other world is good.

Then it was Claude's question time.

Although he is a child, he is worthy of being an elite, and there is no cold scene at all, and someone immediately raised his hand.

"Instructor Claude, I'm Sherlock, may I ask where we live. A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy was the first to ask that there was clearly not enough space for so many people at the moment.

"Very practical question, Sherlock, where do you live. Claude replied in his thunderous voice, pointing his hand, but it was the endless sea of forest behind the camp. "For the next three months, you will live your life there. ”

"I learned that jungle life is what every druid should be capable of. Sherlock said beautifully, but secretly complained in his heart, for three months, in a forest with magical beasts, eating and drinking had to be solved by himself, and the druid was not born a beast, he also liked a big bed and cooked food.

"Instructor Claude, I'm Eve, what will be the content of the exam in three months, and what is the elimination rate?" asked a red-haired little Lori.

"Eve, the content of the exam is not fixed, and the elimination rate is up to you and not us, this is not stable, but the mortality rate of the previous classes is relatively stable, one tenth. Old man Claude smiled when he talked about mortality, which seemed eerie and obscene.

This sentence immediately caused a commotion in the crowd.

In fact, for the Gudruid, this mortality rate was not high, because only one out of ten people at that time could become a druid, and almost all of those who did not pass died. At that time, druid testing was often buried alive, the tester and the beast were kept in a cage, and the sea was adrift without any supplies, and it is said that the training of mages was similar, and the apprentices often had to be in the company of death, but today it is gradually replaced by the academy training method. But with the development of the times, these methods were gradually eliminated, not because of cruelty, but because of the growth of the number of various races and the intensification of competition, and the excessive mortality rate was obviously not conducive to the growth of organizational strength. But for these kids, one in ten is already a scary statistic.

The commotion soon subsided on its own, and these people clearly lived up to the reputation of the genius elite. Then there were many people who asked questions, almost everyone asked questions, all sides, there was a young man who looked mature and tried to make a joke with the female instructor, but it was obviously a failure, everyone deliberately kept their faces shut, and the scene was suddenly very cold. The boy could only bow his head in disdain. The female instructor smiled.

One of these people especially caught Arthur's attention was a small centaur and his cheap daddy's two illegitimate children. Although he was also an anomaly, Arthur still stared at the little centaur for a long time, and secretly said in his heart: There really is such a creature! It's still a mare! Although he knew about this kind of creature in his previous and current lives, seeing it with his own eyes still made Arthur very surprised. It wasn't until the little centaur named Winnie glared back at him that Arthur reluctantly withdrew his gaze. Arthur glanced at his two younger brothers with just a faint glance. The name has long been known to be Anthony and the younger one is Tony, but it is not the same. This is the message I got from Field. But their attitude towards Arthur, Arthur is not very clear, only know that although he is an illegitimate child, he is more bullish than him in Bloodthorn, and after Daddy Andrew drove away the mother of his first wife, Arthur, it didn't take long for him to have a new woman, and they are currently living together. Although the druids were monogamous, it was clear that no one would be brain-dead enough to stop him in Andrew's capacity.

Arthur was thinking about this, when suddenly a voice sounded: "Arthur, do you have any questions?" Suddenly everyone's eyes fell on Arthur's face, and Arthur, who was dozens of years old, of course did not have any nervousness, and naturally replied: "Claude taught, I want to know what our first mission is?" Claude replied very happily: "This is a good question, Arthur, your first goal is to get there in a month, no matter what method you use." Claude said, pointing to a protruding mountain at the end of the forest sea. The mountain stood out in the middle of a gentle forest, like an island in the middle of the sea. From a distance, there is an indescribable silence.

Then it's time to rest, they will leave tomorrow morning, they can have their last dinner here, and tomorrow's breakfast will be sorted out by themselves. Claude immediately called Arthur to his tent after the disbandment, and asked about Brother Aven's situation when he opened it, and talked to him, Arthur realized that this obscene old man and Grandpa Aven were old acquaintances, and Aven's subordinates when he was the leader of the thieves group. Since he has not been able to break through the tenth level, time has begun to gradually erode his strength, so he simply plays the role of an instructor in the Blood Thorn. Eventually, he encouraged Arthur hard and warned him not to leave Aven's men before letting him go.

Arthur smiled bitterly: What is this, I thought it was good to take. I didn't catch the fox and got into trouble, and sure enough, when Arthur came out, he faced the jealous eyes of this group of children. Arthur naturally ignored it.

Although this group of children is not very old, after all, they are not the pampered children of the post-80s and post-90s on the earth, and they have begun to make their own fires and cook, but they are obviously divided into different groups, Arthur noticed that his two brothers are really not in the same team.

Arthur had come out of the tent and was invited to eat with him. It turned out to be his brother Anthony, who beckoned with a smile on his face and said, "Hey, Brother Arthur, come here!" Arthur also smiled and walked over and said, "You are Anthony! Then there is the politeness that can be written into the script, Anthony enthusiastically introduced a few companions around him to Arthur, and the strength of his companions was very good, but he only showed superficial politeness to Arthur.

After a few words of greeting with them, Arthur naturally refused when Anthony invited him to eat here and set off together tomorrow. Although there was no hostility felt from Anthony, and this team was probably the strongest here, it didn't mean that it was good to get in the shade under the big tree, and the weak would definitely be abandoned in case of danger.

Arthur then wandered around under the pretext of getting to know a few more friends, but most of them were still relatively cold, and the hostility of Arthur's other brother, Tonny, was very obvious. It wasn't until the little centaur named Winnie stopped to say hello. This team, which is composed entirely of non-humans, intrigues Arthur. Centaurs are cute, giants are tall, and halflings are fun and an eye-opener for Arthur. Maybe because of Arthur's half-elf status, they were very friendly to Arthur, but that Winnie still minded Arthur's rudeness just now, and laughed under the attack of Arthur's several earth jokes. The food was plentiful, and the feeling of sitting around the campfire and eating and drinking made Arthur very comfortable, but in the light of the fire, the faces of these companions looked strange, making Arthur even more sure in a trance that this place was already otherworldly. The bright moon was in the sky, and the mountain wind was howling, which made Arthur feel homesick, the home of the earth, the home here, the parents at home, and the Evan at home, their faces were intertwined, and some of the feelings could no longer be distinguished.
