A smile bloomed on Andu's face, as if he had thought of something ridiculous.

He probably thinks so too. ”

Robert and Archibald stood aside, listening to their strange conversation, and their hearts fluttered.

"Is it too late for me to quit?"

Archibald asked, stiffly.

"What do you say?" asked Tonali rhetorically.

Archibald let out a lamented sigh and frightened Robert, who was just about to speak.

Although Robert's background is much higher than Archibald's, there is still a big gap compared to Tonali, and the relationship between father and son is not very harmonious, so he does not dare to show his attitude against Tonali at this time.

Andu looked at the two of them and couldn't help but laugh.

"If it's too dangerous, you can retreat first. ”

With Andu's words as a guarantee, the two of them were in a much better mood.

This kind of thing, it's not a level they can participate in!!

Pollit's movements were slightly faster than Andu's and the others, and he glanced deeply at the two of them before leaving, and the meaning of provocation was already on the paper.

Andu, who had been observing, saw Pollit's reaction, but instinctively felt that something was wrong.

Today's Pollitt seems to be much more flamboyant than usual......

In Andu's mind, Pollit was a terrible serpent, a delicate, sinister young man who almost never revealed his true thoughts to outsiders.

It's as if he obviously wants to die by himself, but every time they meet, he can put on a smiling face, and he can't see that he wants to kill himself!

"Francis, will you come with you this time?"

Andu thought for a moment, dodged Robert and the two, and asked in a low voice to Tonali.

"Yes, but not too close. Tonali was surprised for a moment, then nodded, "He's usually there, but that night was an accident." ”

"It's for the best. ”

Listening to Tonali's words, Andu's heart was a little more stable.

With the relationship between the two teams, it doesn't matter if the two sides don't meet in Jones Forest, if there is an opportunity, both sides will never let go.

But as the Minister of Finance and the son of the Lord, how could Pollit not have a little strength around him to protect him?

While he may not be as strong as Francis next to Tonali, he certainly won't be too weak, so he wants to confirm this.

"With Francis here, it shouldn't be dangerous. ”

An Du silently thought in his heart that in Halma, a strong man with four precepts is an existence that can walk sideways.

The premise is that you don't meet the one in Swadia Manor!!

There can't be such a coincidence in this world, right? Andu kept comforting himself in his heart.

After leaving the academy, the four of them rode in Tonali's carriage and arrived at the outskirts of Jones Forest in less than forty minutes.

A makeshift tent stood out, and several college teachers were waiting there.

This also includes Jenkin, who appeared before.

For Andu and the others to report in a carriage, Jenkin had expected it a long time ago, and the fact that there was no ban on taking transportation in the assessment was actually for the children of nobles like Tonali.

If you want to talk about why the academy is so flattering, the reason for an aristocratic child like Tonali is very simple.

More than sixty percent of the college's annual income is provided by wealthy students like Tonali, how can the college offend them?

After simply filling in his name and registering with Jenkin, Tonali led a few people to pick up a backpack from the makeshift tent.

"What is this?" Archibald wondered.

"A prop for survival in the wild. Tonali didn't lift his head.

This answer obviously did not satisfy Archibald, and even provoked some of his dissatisfaction.

"Then why did we bring our previous field training by ourselves, and you can get it from the academy?"

Tonali gave him a fierce look and said indifferently: "Because you didn't give money." ”

Archibald: "......"

When everything was ready, the four of them put on their backpacks and began to walk towards the forest.

Because the danger level of Jones Forest is very low, there are almost no traces of fierce beasts on the periphery of the forest, let alone more ferocious magical beasts, so the assessment task of killing magical beasts like Tonali must go deep into the forest to be done.

In the same way, dangerous places naturally have their own dangerous reasons, and places that can attract demonic beasts are naturally easier to attract all kinds of rare materials to survive.

So the four of them didn't have much to argue, and they made up their minds at the beginning and ran in the direction of the most center of the forest.

Anduand and Tonali were naturally less worried about danger because they knew that Francis was nearby, but for Robert and Archibald, they became a little nervous.

After all, among the two, Robert only had some combat experience with his classmates, and Archibald was an authentic drawing student, who had never touched anyone since he was a child, and suddenly came to this primeval forest-like Jones Forest, how could he not be nervous?

The four of them walked through the forest with very different moods, and encountered many wild beasts during the process.

Porcupines and jackals, such as porcupines and jackals, would have been encountered almost every other moment, and if it weren't for the group of four, and most of the beasts in the forest were walking alone, I was afraid that there would have been a battle long ago.

"I saw only the beast, but I didn't see any trace of the beast. Tonali looked disappointedly at the cheetah in the distance and sighed.

Andu looked at the map in his backpack, made a rough judgment, and thought,

"At our current pace, we will be able to go deep into the forest by evening, but for the sake of overnight stays, I suggest that we go and explore first, and then retreat to the periphery, and it is safer to continue deeper tomorrow morning. ”

Tonali thought about it and thought it was safer, and nodded in agreement, "Then do it, let's take a rest first." ”

At this time, it was already noon, and several people were also feeling a little hungry after running around for nearly an hour.

Tonali and Robert worked together as warriors to hunt an adult wild boar, while Anduand Archibald prepared a fire grill for the barbecue.

Because there was a small stream nearby where they stayed, there was no need to worry about the water source, so after simply cleaning up the ingredients, the few people started to barbecue.

The grease dripped on the fire, "crackling", and exuding bursts of tantalizing meaty aromas.

What Andu didn't expect the most was that each of them also wore some spices in their backpacks!

"This is simply a picnic!" Andu complained silently.

Tonali expertly sprinkled his barbecue with salt and cumin powder, apparently not the first time he had done it.

"Let's get used to it today, and then get down to business tomorrow!" Tonali said to Anduand Archibald with a smile.

He and Robert have some experience, but considering that Andu and the others are not warriors after all, he also deliberately wants to slow down the pace of this wild survival assessment, so that the two of them will not be too difficult to accept.

As he spoke, Tonali held a short knife in his hand and slashed at the roast pig, and for a while the grease overflowed and sparks exploded!

The thick aroma of barbecue completely hooked the taste buds of the four people, and Tonali, who was in charge of cutting, couldn't wait to speed up the action at hand.

Andu took the short knife handed over by Tonali, and there was a large piece of hind leg meat on it, which made people feel appreciative when they saw it.

This kind of pure outdoor barbecue, he is also the first time to try it "personally"!

With a slight bite, the slightly scalded leg meat immediately splashed with juice and filled his mouth, and the right amount of salt and cumin completely elevated this simple food to another level.

The portion of the wild boar was sufficient, more than enough for four people, and the four of them also ate very happily.

For a nobleman like Tonali, such a humble food would not normally be on his table, but in such an environment, he felt a burst of deliciousness.

Food is a thing that is one feeling when you enjoy it alone, but when you are with others, it is another feeling.

That's how Tonali is now.

"You say, your father is the chief secretary of Halma, why do you still go to church?" Archibald blew on the hot roast and looked at Robert suspiciously.

Robert, who had been silent all the way, had a dark expression, and was silent for a few seconds before he slowly spoke,

"I don't like politics, but he always wants me to take his place in the future. ”

Robert's voice grew lower and lower, and by the end it was hard for everyone to hold their breath before they could barely hear what he was saying.

"I go to church, and he doesn't approve of it......"

Andu looked at Robert's lost expression and suddenly smiled,

"There's nothing wrong with that, everyone wants to live differently. ”

Tonali immediately exclaimed: "Yes, if I hadn't been willing to inherit the family, my father wouldn't have been so in such a hurry to fight for this mayor! He never cared about me, you don't know, how much I sometimes wish he could tell me what I should do!"

Robert wondered: "The Ulysses family is a hereditary viscount! Many honorary earls can't compare, won't your father force you?"

Tonali smiled wryly, "He will only tell me to try to do what a viscount should do, but what is what I should do?" I haven't figured it out for years, but now I finally know something." ”

Robert was curious, "Do you know what?"

Tonali's expression suddenly became serious: "Survive! Only by living can you inherit the family!!"

Robert felt a chill in his neck and said, "I'm okay, my father was able to achieve this position by a little luck, but he didn't have so many political enemies." ”

Tonali's tense expression suddenly eased, and he laughed, "So, think about it, how dangerous it would be if you really worked so hard to inherit your father's position?

Safe???

It's not safe at all, okay!!

An Du felt a burst of indignation in his heart, but when it came to his face, he was still full of smiles.

"I don't know what the world is suffering for!" he thought to himself.
