Chapter 5 The assessment begins
Ten minutes passed quickly.
With the sound of a desolate horn, all the Abyss Knights, including the Abyss Clan, retreated to the city walls.
Only Chen Gou and the other assessors remained on the circular platform in the middle of the overpass, and under their feet was the abyss of treacherous fog rolling.
Chen Gou's expression was calm, making it impossible to see through the thoughts in his heart.
The blonde man with the noble surname "Arislan" was the only one with a smile on his lips.
Other than that, the other four all looked solemn, and some even had fear in their eyes.
Obviously, not all of them came voluntarily, and not all of them had the courage and awareness to fight for the future with their lives.
Suddenly, the voice of the big man in the air above came again: "Abyss Knight, born because of the abyss, will eventually die because of the abyss."
We have been enlightened from the moment we hold the sword, and so should we.
Thousands of knights have died protecting you and your families, and now is the time for you to become knights and protect yourself and your families!
Children, I am waiting for you here.
I will personally put on the knightly badge of the living and pray for the dead, so that his soul may return to his homeland and not be alone in the other world.
Now, go to the Abyss World, with courage and wisdom, collect the demon information and law items of that world, and come back alive.
Life or death, His Majesty will be proud of you!"
The voice of the "big man" fluttered over the castle and kept echoing in everyone's mind.
Although he knew that there were many elements of bewitchment, he also made people feel inexplicably excited, and suddenly felt that the abyss under his feet was not so terrifying.
What Chen Gou didn't know was that the "big guys" used some kind of voice-based law skills, which could be regarded as adding a layer of morale-boosting buff to these "cannon fodder".
His Majesty the Pope doesn't even know the names of a few of them, and is proud of them?
The ultra-high mortality rate during the previous exploration of the abyss is there, no matter how beautiful it is, it can't change the fact that the next one will be nine deaths.
The circular platform under his feet made a clicking sound of mechanical rotation, and Chen Gou took a deep breath, waiting for the last moment to come.
Boom!Boom......
As the platform was completely retracted, and his feet were empty, Chen Gou and everyone fell directly into the misty abyss below.
The moment he touched the gray-black mist, an ominous, doom-ridden feeling immediately came over him.
The wind is howling in the ears, making it impossible to think, and the picture in front of you is changing strangely and rapidly.
After some time, Chen Gou and the other five examiners found that all the visions had disappeared and they appeared in a bakery full of modern atmosphere.
The bakery was on the corner of the street, and there was no one but a few of them at the moment.
Surrounded by high-rise buildings, the streets are lined with abandoned cars and newspapers fluttering in the air.
Typical of a modern metropolis, but with a sense of decadence in the air.
While Chen Gou was looking at the environment of this abyssal world, the five nominal teammates on the side were also doing the same thing.
"A building several hundred meters high, an iron car that can move on its own, a street lamp that can shine at night......"
A tall woman in tight-fitting leather armor with a rather beautiful look in her eyes showed a thoughtful look: "It seems that this is another abyss world with firearms, let's be careful not to be killed by that kind of long-range weapon." ”
The middle-aged uncle, who was the oldest and looked the most calm, nodded and said:
"Yes, the knights have reminded us that although the bullets of that firearm will lose more than a hundred lives at most if they are hit by a single bullet on the body, if they are hit by a vital point, or swept by more than a dozen bullets at the same time, our law body will not be able to bear it. ”
"These are secondary, and the biggest threat is the unfamiliar environment and unknown demons, and we are really unlucky. ”
The young man, who was the thinnest of the several people and had a sallow face, even worse than the woman in leather armor, couldn't help but complain:
"Many of the previous abyss assessments were only dealing with demon invasions in this world, and being directly sent into the abyss world for exploration like ours is one of the most dangerous ways......
The words fell, and the people in front of them all showed solemn expressions.
The content of the abyss assessment is not fixed, but in any case, the kind they are experiencing is among the most dangerous, and the overall pass rate is only about half.
In other words, half of the six of them may not make it back alive!
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel even heavier.
"Okay, you don't have to say a few words, how can we discuss the arrangement of the Knights!"
Among the six people, a young man with a righteous face stood up and said in a deep voice: "Hello everyone, I am Keang, at this time, what we need to do most is unity, and only by working together can we overcome the difficulties together."
Although our situation is dangerous, it is not without precedent for all members to pass. Maybe we're lucky, but it's just a lowly little abyss?
I suggest that we introduce each other first, including names, awakening levels, natural skills, and abilities that we are good at, etc.
Then elect a temporary captain, before the end of the assessment time, everyone must obey the unified arrangement of the captain, so that we can unite as a whole and exert greater strength. ”
The thin man with a sallow face said disdainfully: "So, what you have to say next is that it is most suitable for you to be the captain, right?"
The young man with a righteous face shook his head unchanged, and then looked at the blonde daughter of the Arislan clan who had not spoken, and said sincerely:
"The Dongli brothers are from the Azhislan clan, and have undergone the most rigorous elite training since childhood, and are the highest and strongest among us, so I recommended him as the captain. ”
Everyone showed surprise in unison, but they didn't expect that his ultimate goal was not to be the captain himself.
"I'm for it!" the skinny man was the first to disagree, and now he was the first to approve.
The leather-armored woman and the uncle with the national character face also raised their hands immediately.
For such a multi-person task, a leader is a must, and the Arislan family is extremely majestic in the hearts of everyone.
Therefore, if it is an elite disciple cultivated by the Arislan clan to lead, everyone can accept and believe it.
However, the face of Donley Arislan showed an unruly expression, and he directly got up and pushed open the door of the bakery in his trench coat.
"I'm sorry, I'm a withdrawn person by nature, I don't like to act with people I don't know, and I'm afraid of being stabbed in the back. ”
He walked out without looking back, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.
"This ......"
Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't expect Dongli's personality to be so eccentric.
After a while, the uncle with the national character face pondered: "If people don't want to, we can't force it." Let's elect another captain.
I think what the captain needs most is a calm mind and careful resourcefulness, and the little brothers have performed well in this regard, so I suggest that for the time being, let him be the captain first. ”
"I think so. ”
The leather-armored woman said that Ke Ang did not say that he would be the captain before, but that his behavior of electing Dongli had won her trust.
The thin man with a sallow face was also silent at this time, and nodded slightly, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
Seeing this, Ke Ang said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I will reluctantly lead the team first, and I hope that in the next action, everyone can follow my arrangement." I will also do my best to ensure everyone's safety until the assessment is completed.
Now let's start introducing ourselves, starting with the beautiful lady. ”
He didn't specifically ask Chen Gou's opinion, thinking that Chen Gou's silence was also a tacit acquiescence.
Moreover, Dongli has the capital to look down on everyone acting alone, but no one thinks that Chen Gou, who can be seen from the way he dresses, is obviously from a civilian background, is also qualified to oppose it.
