Chapter 86 Entry Test
“It’s you again?!”
In the hall of the metal building, Ronan went through the process as usual.
Coincidentally, the person who received him this time was the green-eyed wizard he met for the first time.
He obviously remembered Ronan and asked half-jokingly: "It seems that we have found a guarantor this time. Who is it?"
Ronan announced Benigo's name.
Unexpectedly, the green-eyed wizard who was smiling just a second ago suddenly stood up from his position after hearing the name.
"Benigo?! Which Benigo? Where is he?"
Before Ronan could answer, the green-eyed wizard had already spotted Benigo standing not far away from the two of them, silently blowing out smoke rings.
Green eyes stared at Benigo for a long time before sitting down again.
Then he looked at Ronan with an indescribable weirdness in his eyes.
"Why would Benigo vouch for you?"
"Why did you ask Benigo to be your guarantee?"
Green Eyes muttered something to himself.
"What's the meaning?"
Ronan frowned and asked, but the latter refused to say more, and his attitude towards him suddenly became much colder. After registering, he threw something similar to a number plate to Ronan, and then pointed to the entrance to the inside. Direction ignored him.
"I'm already starting to regret asking you to be my guarantor."
Ronan walked back to Benigo with a gloomy expression. The green-eyed wizard's reaction to Benigo's name, the change in his attitude before and after, and what Creed once mentioned, Benigo was in the ring of magic. Rumors that offended many people... He began to realize the seriousness of this issue that he had almost ignored.
"It's not too late for you to regret it now."
Benigo held his pipe in his mouth and said calmly.
"Repent?"
Ronan shook his head, held in his hand the voucher number that represented the qualification to participate in the entrance test of the Ring of Law, and strode towards the test entrance not far away.
Should he give up the opportunity before him? How is that possible!
If Benigo was really notorious in the past, then just break off the relationship with him as soon as possible after joining.
Now he just wants to enter the magic circle as soon as possible, obtain the inheritance of metal spells and sigils, and a higher platform for resource exchange and acquisition.
Ronan and Benigo walked into the entrance, stepped into the light curtain formed by the rune array, and came to a small room.
A group of people stood on one side of the room, talking in low voices. Another wizard wearing a magic ring robe quickly came over, briefly checked Ronan's identity information and test certificate, and then asked him to wait here.
Ronan and Benigo were speechless. Each knew that the other was hiding many things from them. The fragile cooperative relationship between them might fall apart and come to an end temporarily after the entry test is over.
At this time, the group of people on the other side of the room stopped talking and looked towards the two of them naturally. "Is there anyone you know?"
Benigo tapped the cigarette holder lightly and asked casually.
Ronan looked away and replied calmly: "Yes. Before you, I tried to find someone else to vouch for me."
More than twenty meters away from him, stood a man in a silver robe, short hair, and metal friction marks on his left cheek. He was guarded by several wizards, showing his unique and superior status.
It was Basil, the wizard of the Circle who refused to vouch for Ronan in the first place.
I didn't expect him to be here too. Judging from his posture, it seemed that he was here to take people for the entry test as a guarantor, and he brought more than one person.
"Boy, you should be grateful that you were rejected."
Benigo glanced in the direction of Basil and said with a faint smile: "For 'bloodsuckers' like them who specialize in 'recruiting' new people, if I vouch for you once, you will have to pay a much higher price than me. ”
"Um?!"
Ronan was startled, "They also ask for benefits?"
"What a stupid question."
Benigo said calmly: "Without enough benefits, how could a stranger take risks to vouch for you.
If you find a 'blood-sucking worm' to vouch for you, after entering the Dharma Circle, at least 30% of all mission rewards within thirty years must be handed over to them.
Of course, you can also find a 'blood-sucking worm' The good thing is that 'Vampire' has its own connections and methods, which can make it easier for you to pass the entry test.
After all, if the introduction is successful, they can get another reward from the Magic Circle."
Thirty percent of the income from all tasks in thirty years? !
Ronan was shocked for a while, and then felt happy.
Fortunately, Basil "disdained" himself and rejected him.
In comparison, he would rather work with a "notorious" person like Benigo than be "blood-sucked" by someone for thirty years!
At this time, Ronan heard Benigo's voice ringing in his ears again.
".This guy can miss you. He is obviously not a qualified 'bloodsucker' with unique vision.
Huh? !
How can we still encounter this kind of thing? There is a time when a ‘blood-sucking insect’ is deflated?
Haha, such wonderful scenes are rare! "
Ronan subconsciously raised his head and saw a young wizard with fire marks on his face walking out of the small door leading to the official test site, looking slightly embarrassed.
The robe on his body was in tatters, and he was exuding powerful mental power fluctuations belonging to a late-level first-level wizard, and his face was gloomy and ugly.
As soon as he came out, he walked straight in the direction of Basil.
Ronan couldn't help but blink, and for a moment he didn't understand what Benigo meant.
"grown ups."
The short man Gu Wei whispered: "That guy looks a bit unfamiliar."
Basil said softly, "Hmm", and stared at a middle-aged man not far away who was wearing a silver robe and smoking a pipe.
Whenever Basil's eyes glanced at the dharma circle symbol on the left chest of the latter's robe, he couldn't help but have waves of shock in his eyes.
Three rings!
Where did the "three rings" come from? !
He knew all the "three-ring" wizards of the seventh magic circle, but he had never seen the man in front of him!
And he is also a "three-ring" wizard whose strength is only at the late level of the first level. Logically speaking, those who can obtain the third-level identity should at least have the strength of a second-level wizard.
Could it be that he is a genius with top talents and qualifications from another magic circle, or a descendant of a noble family?
But why would "third-ring" wizards from other magic circles come to the seventh magic circle to vouch for others? !
The guarantee is still at the early stage of level one. Huh? !
Basil noticed the inconspicuous little wizard next to him. Suddenly something came to his mind.
He remembered that he and Gu Wei were searching for a "big fish" more than a month ago, and this little wizard happened to be on their investigation list.
It seems to come from a low-level wizard force that was destroyed by the Key of Nirvana. The other party also tried to ask him to be a guarantee. The naive look really made people laugh.
Such a low-level little wizard whose origin, strength, and talent are mediocre to the point of being mediocre, could actually ask a "three-ring" person to vouch for it, which really surprised and incredible him
"Sir, Fire Vulture Out."
Gu Wei's voice brought Basil back from his thoughts. He withdrew his gaze and looked forward, only to see a young wizard with fire marks on his face and wild eyes walking towards him quickly. Seeing the ugly expression on the other person's face, Basil's heart sank slightly, but he still asked about the situation: "How is it?"
"It's no use!"
The unruly young man spat and said bitterly: "I was given the things and my name was given, so I just briefly told me a few words about the selection criteria.
If you persist for one minute, you will be considered a pass, and if you persist for five minutes, you will be considered a core.
They also injected the ‘madness potion’ into the top-level Terra behemoth in front of me! "
Basil's face immediately darkened, and he read a name in a low and cold voice.
"Tulpa!"
The Terra behemoth with its thin ancient rock giant bloodline was already difficult to deal with. I don’t know where Tulpa found such a top-level first-order monster, and frantically injected it with the "madness potion".
Even a second-level wizard would have a headache if he saw the Terra behemoth in this state.
It takes one minute to pass, which clearly shows that there is no intention to let anyone pass smoothly!
The wizard Fire Vulture in the late first level is the "ace" among Basil's group, and he is rushing to become a core member.
Tulpa raises the bar for "hardcore" by five minutes five minutes! Even if he goes up in person, he may not be able to do it.
"Tulpa"
Basil took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and whispered to himself: "I have remembered this."
The selection of "examiner" for the entry test has changed, and Basil's old acquaintance has been replaced by a wizard with whom he is not familiar.
Basil tried to "show goodwill" to the other party, but he didn't expect that he got an intensified attack.
Obviously the other party's "appetite" is greater than I expected.
"grown ups."
Gu Wei said worriedly at the side: "Three people have been stuck in this batch. Do you want to continue with the two left?"
Basil's eyes flashed and he slowly replied: "Wait a moment, at least... until the effect of the 'madness potion' in the Terra beast wears off.
You go up and tell them to let others take care of themselves first."
As he said that, Basil glanced at the wizard group next to them who were waiting for the test like them.
Perhaps because he failed to achieve the expected results, he was in a bad mood. The young wizard Huo Jiu, who had come out in a panic before, stared at the silver-gray figure who "replaced" them for the test and cursed in a low voice: "How dare you come to participate in the early stage of level one?" test?
Don't die in there! "
Basil said nothing, and there was no emotion on his face.
"Go ahead kid, it's your turn."
Benigo held the pipe in one hand and put the other behind his back, and greeted Ronan calmly.
Ronan nodded and suddenly said: "As a guarantor, shouldn't you teach me some experience of others before the test?
For example, the specific content of the test and so on.”
“There are no fixed items for the test, it all depends on the preference and mood of the ‘examiner’.
It’s basically all about fighting anyway.”
Benigo flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said to Ronan somewhat meaningfully: "But it seems that you are not having good luck today. The test may be more difficult than usual."
“I expected it when I walked in the door.”
Ronan replied calmly, but Benigo shook his head slightly with an expression of "You don't understand."
Ronan didn't bother to chat with him anymore and followed the person responsible for leading the way forward.
Just as he was about to step into the test gate, Ronan suddenly heard Benigo calling him from behind: "Hey, boy! I still don't know your name yet."
Ronan paused slightly, then strode in.
"Ronan. My name is Ronan Damien."
"Ronan?"
Benigo watched Ronan's back disappearing through the small door, and slowly exhaled a puff of white smoke. Half of his festering face was looming in the dissipating smoke, and his specific expression could not be seen clearly.
"You'd better not let me take this step in vain..."
The moment he stepped into the small door, Ronan was hit by a sudden slight dizziness.
However, the dizziness came and went quickly, and it might take less than half a second for his consciousness to return to normal.
When he came back to his senses, he realized that he seemed to have entered a "secret space", similar to the "Corpse Garden" he had entered before.
This secret space is wide and bright.
He is now in a small white square, which is close to a tall and huge gray wall, with light curtains of runes on three sides.
After leaving the small square, the light immediately dimmed, and there was an invisible gray wilderness. The wilderness was filled with thick fog, and the outline of a hill could be vaguely seen.
There were two people in the small square.
A bald man with a gloomy appearance and a black mole on the tip of his nose sat lazily on a huge black metal chair.
Standing beside him was an ordinary-looking middle-aged male wizard.
Ronan appeared, and the bald man on the metal chair just glanced at him briefly and then looked away, yawning and looking depressed.
The middle-aged male wizard beside him took a step forward and shouted loudly to Ronan: "Go straight forward. If you retreat within the protection of the rune circle, you will fail. Now, the test officially begins!"
Ronan's eyes flashed, but without saying anything, he walked straight out of the square.
Stepping out of the light curtain of the rune array and entering the black wilderness, a gloomy and depressing feeling immediately hit his face.
The middle-aged male wizard, who was the "examiner", asked Ronan to go straight forward, but Ronan had no intention of disobeying him and slowly moved forward.
Straight ahead is the location of the hill in the wilderness.
The closer Ronan got, the more depressed he felt in his heart.
Moreover, I always felt that there was a pair of huge invisible eyes above my head. They were looking down at him coldly as he moved forward like ants.
"Even the first-level ones were sent in, and they didn't bring anything with them."
Watching Ronan's back disappear into the thick fog in the wilderness, the middle-aged male wizard who had just announced the start of the test turned to look at the bald man on the black metal seat and said in a cold tone: "My lord, it looks like Basil It seems that they are very dissatisfied with us.
Is this some kind of demonstration? "
"Protest? He deserves it?!"
The bald man spat out a thick mouthful of black phlegm with metal residue on the ground, and said coldly: "You will stand in front of the rune circle later, and let this first-level waste that he sent in be tortured miserably. At one point, it doesn’t matter if he dies
From now on, if he sends someone in, I will cripple him."
The bald man grinned, revealing his cold, pale teeth.
"Until...he is willing to show real sincerity."
