Volume 1 The Winter of Halma Chapter 164 Inconvenience in the City

O'Connor listened to Hart's answer, his thoughts froze, as if he had suddenly thought of something, and his face became more and more serious.

"Didn't you ask the tenants around you about him?"

Hart shook his head and said, "There are not many people living in the apartment at all, I knocked on the few residents next to him, and no one lives." ”

No one lives?

Why is there no one living in a good apartment?

O'Connor seemed to have caught something, but he couldn't fully understand the problem.

Seeing that O'Connor's reaction had changed somewhat, Hart was also nervous, and hurriedly spoke.

"Although there are not many people living in it, the value of the Booman apartment is still more than my property. ”

O'Connor became more and more confused, and suddenly remembered what Hart had just said about his father's two inheritances.

"What is your property?" he asked subconsciously.

Hart's mood became more and more depressed, and even became a little irritable.

"It's the outskirts of the Southern District, that damn cemetery!"

......

In the evening, the Antia villa complex.

"That's all for today's exercise. ”

Andu instructed Abt and Arnold to finish copying and drawing, smiling.

During this period of daily practice, the level of the two of them has improved significantly, although there is still a big gap from the expectations in Andu's heart, but in terms of the level of drawing in this world, it is enough for the two to digest slowly.

Leaving the drawing room with the two of them, Andu returned to the house.

Ms. Elsa had already prepared dinner, and Karl was arranging the setup.

Andu glanced at Elizabeth, who had already sat in her seat, and walked to her seat with a light sigh.

At the dinner table, Elizabeth remained silent, and he hadn't seen the girl smile for a few days since he had been brought back from a coma that day by George.

He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, his mouth opened and opened, and in the end he only said "eat more".

Sometimes, he felt that he was actually sorry for Elizabeth.

For Elizabeth, she is her last and only relative, but she has no way to accompany her, let alone explain to her why.

Dinner became boring, and Elizabeth did not linger long, and returned to her room early.

Andu withdrew his gaze at the girl's back, silently lowered his head, and stared blankly at the uneaten things on the plate, his eyes gloomy.

"I don't want to......"

......

Four carriages stopped outside the villa, waiting quietly.

"I'm not here for the past two days, and I'll leave the affairs of the family to you. ”

Andu stood outside the door, commanding Karl, who was dressed as a butler.

"Yes, young master. ”

Andu nodded, looked in the direction of Elizabeth's room, and sighed softly.

Today is Friday, and it is also the day of the field assessment.

Originally, Tonali's plan was to wait until all the assessments of the academy were over before applying for the task of field assessment, but Andu did not plan to do so.

He also has the work of a judge, and if he waits until next week, maybe Ruskin will give him some strange trial work, so he wants to settle all the affairs of the academy in advance by taking advantage of the fact that there is nothing to do in the past two days.

This can be regarded as an explanation of the former "Andu", after all, the college's big exam is his goal and dream all along.

"Let's go. ”

Inside the lavish carriage, Tonali and Robert were already inside, and counting Andoo, only Archibald was left unseated.

"Let's go find Archibald first. ”

Tonali gave a brief explanation, and the carriage slowly drove away from the Antia villa area.

An hour later, Rice College.

The assessment continued, and the crowds of students shuttled back and forth in the college with different moods.

"The two-day wilderness survival assessment takes students through a two-day trip into the nearby Jones Woods. ”

"In this process, our warrior students will be asked to kill a first-order demonic beast, and as a result of the assessment, the drawing department will need to collect a total of eight different drawing materials. ”

"Because Jones Forest is not very dangerous, there are very few deaths of students in previous assessments, but everyone should be careful. ”

Tonali explained some of the basics of the field assessment to the crowd, and apart from Robert, who had known for a long time, Anduand Archibald listened attentively.

Because Andu is a student of the drawing department, the field assessment exercises he has participated in in the past few years are no different from camping, and those occasional exercises are completed with the company of the teacher, and dozens of classmates are companions, so there is no danger at all.

This time, though, it's noticeably different, especially with Tonali.

As students of the Warrior Department, Tonali and Robert both have to kill Warcraft, and although the two can join forces, there are still certain dangers involved.

In the process of chatting and discussing the assessment, they soon came to the central square of the college, where a lot of students had gathered, and they were divided into about four areas, scattered separately.

Tonali inquired about the meeting place and related matters early, took out four certificates and distributed them to Andu and the others, and then led them to the right rear position.

"This is our admission certificate, which will be handed over to the teacher in a moment. ”

Andu took his own certificate and found that this so-called certificate was nothing more than a college seal stamped on his name, and nothing else special.

After putting away the certificate, he began to observe the situation around him, and found that there were not as many students who came to take the test today as he had imagined, and there were only thirty or forty students in each area.

"It seems that everyone thinks the same as Tonali, and plans to finish the professional assessment and conduct a field assessment. ”

Andu speculated.

The number of people gathered in the academy was small, and the venue naturally seemed a little empty, but fortunately, a few people did not wait too long before the teacher came.

It's just that it's not just the teachers who came, but also a few students.

Andu looked at the few people who followed the assessment teacher, and the faint smile on his face gradually faded.

"Pollitt?"

Robert was surprised, "Why is he here too?"

Tonali sneered: "There are no rules, saying that he is not assessed in advance, but it is really a coincidence!"

Robert subconsciously shrunk his neck, as the "second generation of officials", he naturally heard a lot about the relationship between the two, and at this time, he couldn't help but become a little uneasy.

Although the atmosphere has changed, it is no different for the teachers.

"I am the assessment teacher this time, you can call me Jenkin, in these two days, I will wait for you outside Jones Forest, I hope that after two days, everyone will be able to appear in front of me one by one. ”

"What I need to explain to you in advance is that there is a certain danger in this assessment, and this assessment is an extra point, that is, even if you don't participate, your graduation exam points will not be deducted because of this. ”

"Finally, I need to confirm with you again, if there is anything you want to give up, please report to me immediately, otherwise once you start, I will not be able to guarantee your life!"

Zhan Jin said fiercely, his eyes kept wandering back and forth among the students, and after waiting for more than ten seconds, he nodded with satisfaction and continued,

"Now that everyone has thought it through, then our assessment has officially begun!"

"Now, please give me the assessment certificate in your hand in an orderly manner, in the order of my name. ”

"Tonali!"

The first one was reported to the name, and Tonali was visibly unresponsive, and after a second of sluggishness, he immediately trotted forward.

After Tonali, one student after another was called by name, including Pollit.

After confirming that there were no fewer people, Jenkin looked at everyone again.

"Very well, then I will now announce the first phase of this assessment. ”

"Everyone, you need to go to Jones Forest on the outskirts of the North End within two hours, and if you overtime, it will be automatically judged as a failure in the assessment. ”

"It's 8:55 a.m., and if you don't arrive before 11 a.m., you can go straight home. ”

"Good luck to you. ”

After Jenkin finished speaking, he turned around and left, ignoring the shocked reactions of the students, and the students, who didn't understand it at all for a while, began to talk about it.

"It's not the same as it used to be!"

"Didn't we get sent by the Academy's magic truck?"

"What should I do? Run over there, that's too far!"

“......”

Andu looked at the somewhat chaotic scene and turned his head to look at Tonali.

"You used to be like that?"

Tonali was stunned, shook his head and said, "No, it was all arranged by the academy before, and I don't know what's wrong this time." ”

Suddenly changed the rules? Andu was surprised.

After a while, the students finally went about their actions, and one by one they trotted out of the academy.

It's not close to Jones Woods! Even two hours of running all the way may not be enough!!

Archibald looked at the reaction of others, and immediately said anxiously: "Let's go too!"

Andu smiled and didn't speak, but looked at Tonali instead.

"What's the hurry, it's still early. Tonali smiled back, and looked at the students who were busy running out, and at the calm Pollit, his eyes growing cold.

Archibald looked at Tonali's expression, and couldn't get out the words that came out of his mouth, so he had to look at Andu helplessly.

"There's no hurry. ”

Andu straightened out the corners of his somewhat wrinkled clothes, and said with a faint smile: "We have a carriage, no matter how slow it is, it will not be slower than those classmates who use to run." ”

Archibald was speechless, in fact, when the teacher said the first assessment just now, he thought of the carriage as a means of transportation, but he was not too sure, and now when he heard Andu say the same, his heart was also a lot more stable.

Andu slowly stepped forward, patted Tonali's shoulder, and said in a calm tone,

"Let's wait until we get to Jones Woods. ”

Tonali withdrew his gaze from Pollitt and smiled.

"You're right, it's so inconvenient in the city. ”
