Chapter 77 Humph, Luckily We Were Prepared
The world in the mirror is colorful and glittering, like a passage built in the void.
There are many rich spiritualities overflowing around, and even become entities, like water vapor.
Lu En walked in this misty realm, curiously looking at the surrounding environment.
This is his first time to teleport over a long distance, which is completely different from the situation he expected of fainting and then opening his eyes.
"Well, it seems that the teleportation magic has been improved and has become very humane."
Lu En thought silently in his heart.
At this moment, a low voice of questioning suddenly came from the void.
"Huh?"
"Why didn't this guy faint?"
"It doesn't make sense."
Before Lu En could figure out what was going on, his back of the head was hit hard by a big stick!
Suddenly, his eyes went black.
When Lu En woke up, the first thing he did was to touch the back of his head.
Except for being a little dizzy, there seemed to be no other sequelae.
The second thing was to find the old Deng who attacked him in the passage!
Rune stood up and looked around, but slowly found something wrong.
This is not a knight tower but an old cave.
There is a dead end behind him, and he cannot retreat.
The rocks around him have been rubbed by countless people and have begun to glow.
Above his head, about 30 meters away, there are several relatively large holes, casting skylight into the cave.
"I was teleported to an unknown place, and my teammates are not around."
Rune narrowed his eyes and thought secretly in his heart.
"In theory, the teleportation of the knight tower will never cause low-level problems such as teleportation errors. Combined with the traces of countless people around, it is enough to prove that this is a place like the 'trial ground'."
"Niels also said before that the first time you enter the knight tower is a trial, and only those who pass it are qualified to study more advanced things in the knight tower."
"But I didn't expect that this test starts now."
Rune looked around, alert to the dangers that may appear at any time.
Going deep into the cave, a gray square stone was filled with various weapons.
——
[Wonderful Item]: Hard Sword
[Level]: Lv.1
[Ability (Hard)]: Extremely durable, not easy to chip
PS: A long sword tempered by magic, the only advantage is durability
——
[Wonderful Item]: Heavy Hammer
[Level]: Lv.1
[Ability (Heavy)]: With magic blessing, the weight is doubled, the best choice for beginners with blunt weapons
PS: The best choice to deal with heavy armored enemies——
[Wonderful Item]: Powerful Crossbow——
A dozen weapons in a row, all of which are level Lv.1 wonders.
Presumably, the Knight Tower meant to prevent those who participated in the trial from not carrying weapons.
Although this situation is extremely rare, if any unlucky child encounters a similar situation, he can choose a favorite and handy one from the wonders in front of him to fight the next battle.
But Rune frowned.
These things are all level 1, the lowest level wonders.
The knights naturally look down on them.
But he is a good man who is frugal and manages his family well, a pirate with a good tradition!
How can he let go of such a good thing that can be taken at will?
No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. These ten or so rare items must be sold for at least ten gold coins, right?
Take it away, take it all away!
The hard sword was put into the storage ring, and the heavy hammer was put into the storage ring.
When Rune was about to pick up the third "powerful crossbow", he frowned.
This rare item has obviously become heavier!
Without magic/holy light blessing, or if the physical strength does not reach 150, it is impossible to carry it.
But this certainly does not bother Rune, whose current physical strength is 400 and the maximum physical strength is over a thousand.
He exerted a little effort, and the third rare item was put into his pocket.
Then, the fourth rare item "Shining Pearl" was picked up again.
This time the weight of the rare item doubled again!
Rune felt something was wrong, and he came to a conclusion after a little thought.
It must be that the guy who came before played too much!
Those shameless knights in the previous trials must have had the same idea as me.
So there is a corresponding magic circle on this stone to limit the number of items that can be taken!
"Damn, that knight is too shameless, just adding to my difficulty!"
"Bah!" Rune spit twice on his hand symbolically, and then tightened the handle of the fifth "sharp axe"!
"Get up for me!"
I have to say that sometimes Rune's guesses are extremely accurate.
For example, he is now in the trial cave, and for example, "stealing strange items" really has a precedent, so the Knight Tower has added restrictions for it.
But there is one thing Rune did not guess.
That is, his every move now is seen by the knights of the Knight Tower!
Moreover, the foreheads of these knight mentors are all covered with black lines.
Knight Tower, Pure Spring.
As one of the iconic places of the Knight Tower, Pure Spring cannot be literally expanded to mean "Purification Spring".
Its true meaning is "Pure Spring", and its spirit is the knight's "justice", implying that there is no shady dealings and fair competition in the Knight's Tower.
All students and instructors in the Knight Tower can come here and view the real-time projection of all competitions, assessments, and trials through the water curtain.
Under everyone's supervision, most injustices can be prevented.
There are three floors in the Knight Tower, and students advance from the first floor to the third floor.
And these new knights like Rune can only be called "preparatory students".
You need to be promoted to a first-level student after completing the assessment.
However, they received no less attention than other knights, or even more.
After all, as the fresh blood of Knight Tower, new faces are always more eye-catching.
At this moment, there are twenty-two knight instructors in front of Jingquan, and countless knight students.
The Imperial Knights are ranked according to their levels, from top to bottom, including Legendary Knights, Honorary Knights, Holy Knights, Templar Knights, and Royal Knights.
Below that are the high, middle and junior third-level knights.
Chinedu is considered a royal knight according to his rank; Nils should be a holy knight according to his rank; as for Liad, he can only be a junior knight.
But this is only based on ability. In fact, it is possible to be recognized and rewarded by the knight sect by taking into account military exploits and other contributions.
Among the twenty-two knight instructors present, three were Holy Knights, and the remaining nineteen were all Templar Knights.
It can be seen that the lineup of Knight Tower instructors is luxurious.
As the Holy Knight who came to lead this new generation on a rotation basis, and also the oldest member of the current mentor lineup, Fraser observed the 621 preparatory students very carefully.
An experienced knight can peer into a person's essence and firmness of belief through his subtle movements and expressions.
Coupled with the recent turmoil in various parts of the empire, with some principalities even participating in a large-scale war against the sea monster cult, this made him feel that knight education had a long way to go.
Therefore, his eyes almost never left the light screen, and kept flowing over each of the reserve knights who were now in a coma.
After careful observation, Frazier nodded slightly with satisfaction.
From the first glance, the quality of this batch of knight students is very good.
Each and every spiritual head seems to be the elite treasure of each principality, sect, and region.
The old saying that heroes emerge from troubled times is indeed true.
"Fraser, I think the knight students of this class are all pretty good," Holy Knight Armand said with a half-smile, "That Charbel from the Tudor Principality, Yasmin from the Hemlock Principality, the Scarlet Knight Pernilai from the sect branch and Liad from the Principality of Beloberg are both good candidates.”
"That's true." Fraser glanced at the other party and said with a serious face, "It's just that there are too many good talents this time, and everyone can get a better share. You don't have to make any plans to steal students."
"Fair and fair, our mentor must also be fair and fair!" Armand said immediately.
"That's natural, fairness is in my heart." Frazier said seriously.
Armand nodded repeatedly, as if agreeing with Fraser's words, but he had already made a small calculation in his mind.
The Knights Tower seems to be calm, but in fact there is not much trouble.
However, there is still some competition between each instructor.
After all, you are entering the Knight Tower to study in name, but if you study under the name of a certain instructor, you and the instructor will be masters and disciples from now on.
Even if he is not a direct master and disciple, he still has the title of mentor there.
The Knight Tower has gathered most of the outstanding knight talents from across the empire. Being able to mentor these students is undoubtedly paving the way for one's own connections.
These knight seedlings will support most of the imperial knight sect in the future.
Therefore, there is also considerable competition for the job of Knight Tower Instructor.
Everyone wants their students to be outstanding, earn face, and at the same time be part of their own class.
For example, right now, every tutor is trying their best to select their favorite students.
"You two, please stop arguing." Holy Knight Marcin looked at Frazier and Armand and said, "None of us knows who can receive what kind of students. Each one depends on his or her ability."
"Okay, let's take a look. The reserve knights have all woken up." Armand said, "I don't know what weapons they will use. It's best to use hammers. Let me train them!"
"Huh, knights still have to use cross swords." Frazier said disdainfully, "It's better for priests to use hammers or something like that."
Marcin shook his head, "No, no, no, you still have to use a crossbow! What era is this? You can return a sword or hammer it, but long-range is the best!"
The three people did not hide their words when they were choking each other.
The words of three people were not like what a highly respected knight could say.
But the other knight instructors and students around him didn't seem to be surprised by this.
They all had serious faces and continued to check the reserve knights on the water curtain.
When they saw many knights choosing weapons, they all had strong expectations in their hearts.
Even if he does not choose to use the prepared weapon, every knight will try to get in touch with the weapon he is closest to when passing by the weapon stand.
Charbel chose the cross sword.
Yasmin chose the hammer.
Pelleni unexpectedly chose the dagger.
Liad chose the cross sword, and then hesitated for a moment. The figure of an old friend seemed to appear in his mind.
Then he pinned the crossbow behind his back.
He wants all the runes!
When all the reserve knights had already set off, Rune was still struggling with the stone platform, taking down the strange objects one by one from the stone platform.
So his lonely figure naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.
Seeing Rune take the first item, everyone nodded, it was a knight with a cross sword.
When he took the second item, everyone praised him again, with diverse skills, which was a small highlight.
When he took the third item, everyone was slightly amazed. This guy was versatile and might be a promising talent, but I didn't know if he would learn a variety of things without being good at them.
But when he took the fourth item, everyone's face gradually turned black.
Everyone had already seen that this guy was not choosing his own weapon at all.
This guy was here to rob!
The three holy knights were even more indignant.
"Greedy!" "Excessive!" "Giveaway!"
These things are all the wealth of the Knight Tower!
These are small gadgets funded, designed and built by the three holy knights.
Although the value is average, it still makes them heartbroken!
In the water curtain, Rune's hand reached for the fifth item.
The Holy Knights frowned, as if they were nervous about something.
They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Rune's hand drop from the "Extremely Fast Dagger".
"Hahaha, it's not that easy to take our things!"
"That heartless Luke took all the items away at once, which gave me heartache for a year!"
"Humph! Fortunately, we were prepared!"
The three Holy Knights looked at each other and laughed.
Boy, you're still too early to take advantage of us!
Blame it on the predecessors who tore your umbrella!
But the next moment, Rune in the water curtain suddenly began to move his body in place.
Waves of spiritual power surged in his body.
Then he stepped on the stone platform with his feet, holding the dagger in both hands, and with a little force, he got the fifth item!
The laughter of the Holy Knights stopped abruptly.
How is this possible!
The stone platform was cast with a spell.
After a while, Rune's sixth, seventh, and eighth items were all smooth!
The Holy Knight's breathing became a little heavy.
"Armand, what strength did you set for the formation above?" Fraser said.
"To be able to get the eighth item, he must be at least a top-level physical skill supernatural being of Sequence 7." Armand said.
"He looks young, but he's already Sequence 7?" Marcin was puzzled. "It looks like he does have a little bit of the shadow of a physical skill supernatural being, but not quite. He obviously hasn't practiced too many fighting and force techniques, and it's all brute force."
While the three were discussing, Rune had already faced the ninth item.
His face was flushed, veins on his neck were exposed, and his muscles were mobilized to the maximum extent.
Then, he pulled the ninth item off the stone platform!
Before Fraser could finish his words, Armand took the initiative to speak, "The ninth item requires at least a physical skill supernatural being of Sequence 6."
"Sequence 6?" Fraser gritted his teeth, "You tell me, that thing requires Sequence 6 to pick up? That guy is only Sequence 7!"
After he said this, he seemed to realize something was wrong.
What does "only Sequence 7" mean?
Although that guy looks old, he is not too old. He is about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, but he is already Sequence 7.
This progress is already very good!
And looking at Rune in the water curtain, it seems that he wants to do something with the tenth item!
Everyone present almost held their breath.
The three knights' eyes were red.
If he can pull it out, he must have at least the top physical skill of Sequence 6.
If he pulls it out, then this knight tower will go crazy!
There is no need to think so far. Right now, at this moment, everyone can see the "talent" in this guy.
The mentors in the future will probably go crazy fighting for him!
Everyone's attention is on Rune.
After Rune exerted his strength for a while, the tenth item was not taken out.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
As a result, the next moment, Rune tried again and failed again.
He tried again and failed again.
After more than ten times, he seemed to be anxious!
He jumped up and punched the stone platform to pieces.
Then he put the tenth item into his pocket with satisfaction.
He was satisfied.
The holy knights were stunned.
You can't eat, so you smash the bowl, right?
They cursed in a low voice, but their eyes were defensive against each other, and they were already very satisfied in their hearts.
This guy, a demon!
He must be accepted as his disciple!
Fraser couldn't sit still, he coughed lightly, "Everyone, this"
"Don't even think about it!" The other two holy knights said in unison.
They were about to argue about something, and Rune in the water curtain did something that made them tremble with fear.
After taking the weapon, the guy didn't go directly to the predetermined path, but explored left and right in the original place.
Finally, he cast his eyes towards the hole above the cave that was used for light and air.
He rubbed his hands together, then jumped up!
Fraser hurriedly took out a stone array plate from his arms.
The next moment, Rune was intercepted in the air and fell to the ground, covered in dust.
Fraser breathed a sigh of relief, "Humph, fortunately I was prepared."
He narrowed his eyes, "Do your best to pass the level. I'm looking forward to seeing what you, a monster, can do."
