Chapter 2151 Apprenticeship Test

At midnight three days later.

In the top floor of the most dilapidated building in the orphanage, in the dead office of the director.

Angel and Frode stood in front of the window, looking at the only lighted room in the opposite building. It was originally the library of the orphanage, which contained a large number of fairy tales and picture books collected by the Thyssen family. However, after the orphanage was abandoned, these books were burned.

The reason why the light is still on there is because it was temporarily converted into a soul library.

Angel presented the magazines, leather scrolls, and basic soul training methods he had read through illusions and placed them in the library.

"How long has little Sam been in there?" Angel asked softly.

Frode: "Since little Sam found the library two days ago, he has been staying in it and has never come out."

After Frode finished speaking, he looked puzzled: "Why did you put the books about the soul there?"

"It's for him to read." Angel looked at the figure reflected by the light in the opposite window.

"Since it is for little Sam to read, why didn't you tell him about the books at the beginning, but let him find the library when he was wandering around?" Frode still didn't understand.

"Subjective initiative and passive acceptance have completely different benefits." Angel paused: "Moreover, this is about a test for taking in apprentices."

"Apprentice test?"

"Nice wanted to take in little Sam as an apprentice. Before little Sam really entered the Savage Cave, he asked me to prepare this test." Angel explained.

Frode now understood that the so-called apprentice test is actually similar to the test of the guide to the gifted.

The "Nightmare Orphanage of Dead by Daylight" illusion that Frode is currently running can also be considered as this kind of trial.

However, although he understood it, he still couldn't understand it: "I remember that Lord Nice should not be from the academic school, right?"

Since he is not an academic wizard, why would the test for accepting an apprentice be reading a book?

"Do you think the test for accepting an apprentice is just to read a book?" Angel chuckled: "The test has not officially started yet. Reading a book is just a pre-link in the entire test and is also a necessary condition."

"Then what is the real test?"

As soon as Frode finished asking, before he got Angel's response, he saw the candlelight in the library opposite dimmed. After staying in the library for two days and two nights, little Sam finally walked out of it.

Seeing little Sam leave the library, a halo flashed in Angel's eyes. At the same time, the book illusion he constructed in the library disappeared and returned to its dilapidated appearance.

"The test will start soon."

Angel muttered softly, and before Frode could ask, he changed the subject: "How is your progress?"

Frode: "I already understand the learning method of soul tricks, and I have basically met the conditions for practice, so I can practice for the first time."

Angel: "I remember that to formally learn soul tricks, you need to choose a place with heavy dead air?"

Frode nodded: "Yes, the dead air in the orphanage should be able to meet the needs of learning soul tricks."

"It can be satisfied, but don't forget that you still have Ada and Shanni after you finish learning. Moreover, if there is no dead air in the orphanage, the trial of 'Dead by Daylight' here will not achieve the best effect."

"What do you mean?"

"Change to another place. I happen to know a place that meets the training environment of soul tricks." Angle paused and said softly: "Besides, that is also the place where little Sam is tested."

At this point, Angel's eyes moved away from the opposite floor and looked at the dark sky in the distance and the rolling mountains at the end of the sky.

"Xinghu Castle."

...

Little Sam stood by the rippling lake, looking at the castle in the distance with mottled light and shadow in the morning light, his expression full of emotion.

Less than a week later, he actually returned to Xinghu Castle.

While little Sam was in a daze, a cold little hand touched his wrist: "Brother Sam, I heard from Master Tissen that this is your family's land?"

"It was just before, now it has been abandoned." Little Sam held Yada's hand.

"Our orphanage is also abandoned." Yada didn't care about the abandonment at all, and even looked at the towering castle in the distance with longing: "Brother Sam, can I live in a big room later?"

Little Sam looked at Angel on the other side with some hesitation.

Angel: "This is your territory, you arrange the accommodation for Yada and Shanni."

Little Sam nodded, responded to Yada, and then looked at the girl in red next to Yada. The other party glanced at him coldly, and a chill surged from his heart.

Little Sam turned his head quickly, not daring to look any further.

This girl named Shanni... is so scary.

Little Sam did not dare to stare at Shanni anymore, and walked in front with his head down, leading everyone to the Star Lake Castle, and arranged rooms for Ada and Shanni in high places where they could see the ripples on the lake.

After arranging Ada and Shanni, Little Sam looked at Angel and Frode.

"You don't have to arrange our rooms. This time we came here to help Frode practice. We will find the best place to practice around and will not live in the castle." Angel paused: "As for you, you can stay in the castle for the next few days and take good care of Ada and Shanni."

Frode also smiled and added: "To be precise, take good care of Ada. Shanni will fall asleep these days, you don't have to worry about him."

Shanni is at the peak of her death energy, and her personality is violent and impulsive. She is very likely to lose control in reality, so she should stay in the wilderness of dreams for a while first.

Little Sam nodded and said, "Okay."

"Then let's leave first. Please pay attention to your safety. If you encounter danger, remember not to be reckless and think more carefully about solutions." Angel patted Little Sam on the shoulder with a hint, and then ignored him. Mu, and Flood left Star Lake Castle and disappeared into the mountains and forests.

Little Sam felt a little suspicious and murmured in a low voice: "In danger? What danger?"

Ada, who was following little Sam, said casually: "Are you talking about a thief? I heard from the young master that there are very valuable paintings in this castle, which are always coveted by thieves, and people break in from time to time."

"Is he really a thief?" Little Sam felt something was wrong, and Angel's last look seemed to reveal some bad information.

"Whether it's a thief or a beast, it doesn't matter." Ada patted his chest: "Although I'm not as powerful as Shanni, I can still deal with these. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I will protect Brother Sam. "

Little Sam was still a little suspicious at first, but his attention was diverted when he saw Ada's soft and cute appearance.

Little Sam smiled and touched Ada's head: "You can live here with peace of mind. There are also some mechanisms in the castle. I will repair them later. If thieves and wild beasts really break in, relying on the mechanisms should be enough to deal with them."

…

Angel and Frode stood on the hill behind the lake.

Flood looked at the Star Lake Castle in the distance and whispered: "Because there were a large number of undead souls entrenched here, the death energy here is indeed very strong, and it is a suitable place for practicing soul tricks. However, I don't feel what you are saying." The spider-dead spirit mentioned, although the death aura is strong here, it is extremely clean. "

"Could it be that the undead spider that Little Sam saw in the talent test was just a fiction? She is not here, and may not even exist."

Angel said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if it doesn't exist."

"But, didn't your lord say that the Ness wizard would test little Sam by transforming into an undead spider?"

Nice can become close friends with Sanders, which means that they have similar values. Sanders tested talented people and directly engaged in a bloody battle in nine cabins, killing countless people. As Sanders' close friend, how could Nice's apprenticeship test be a relaxing reading?

Nice's apprenticeship test is to let little Sam come into contact with the undead spider, and even... kill it.

It sounds difficult, and it is.

Even if Froud still has a physical body, if he really wants to confront the undead, he still doesn't know who will escape; as for the confrontation with the special undead, Froude will definitely lose.

However, although Flood can't do it, little Sam can.

According to Little Sam's own account, the undead with a human head and a spider body was his relative, Mrs. Silla.

Because of their kinship, Lady Silla would have a stronger desire to kill Little Sam; but at the same time, Little Sam would not have no chance to fight back.

And this opportunity is his blood.

Blood ties have a wonderful connection. Mrs. Silla can use blood ties to ignite murderous intentions against Little Sam. Little Sam can also use his own blood to cause severe damage to Mrs. Silla that even extraordinary people can hardly inflict. It might even lead to the complete demise of Lady Silla.

And because only little Sam had such an opportunity to fight back, Nice took advantage of the situation and formulated such a special apprenticeship test for little Sam.

Before letting little Sam read a book, it was through the records in the book that he learned how to deal with the undead spiders.

When the time comes to meet the undead in the form of a spider, little Sam can turn knowledge into a sharp sword in his hand.

Of course, everything can go wrong.

If little Sam hadn't discovered the library, if he hadn't seen the solution to the undead spiders, then of course he wouldn't have been able to deal with Mrs. Silla.

Even if he sees a way to deal with the undead spiders, little Sam may not have the courage and wisdom to kill the undead spiders.

Therefore, this still requires little Sam's own efforts and a little bit of luck.

Of course, Nice couldn't really let someone with a near-spiritual body like Little Sam die. He asked Angel to save Little Sam when he was about to die.

But if Angel is really used to rescue him, Little Sam's test score will plummet.

Angel said lightly: "This is just a test drawn up by Nice based on the current situation. If the undead spider really appears, the test will continue; if the undead spider does not appear, then what should be done, wait until we return Savage Cave, Nice will naturally tailor a new test for little Sam.”

"That's it." Flood: "The difficulty of this kind of test is simply appalling."

There was a trace of pity in Froude's eyes: "I still hope that little Sam will not encounter the undead spider. He is still a mortal now. Even if he does learn how to kill the undead spider, it may not be useful."

For example, the spider-turned-undead didn't give little Sam any time to prepare, and directly attacked and killed him. No matter how good the method was, little Sam couldn't use it.

However, this situation is relatively rare. When dealing with ordinary people, the undead spider may kill them on sight; but when dealing with blood relatives, her resentment will reach its highest point, and she will probably use cannibalization and killing. This gives Xiao Sai Huge time buffer.

Angel looked at Frode in surprise: "You are still considering that little Sam will be in danger at this time... Sure enough, although the near-spiritual body is still hidden, it has already begun to affect the undead."

Both Frode and Ada seem to care about little Sam.

The only exception is Sunny. However, Sunny is only indifferent on the surface, and it is hard to say what she thinks in her heart.

Frode was stunned for a moment. If someone else said this, Frode would definitely refute; but as its master, Angel naturally can't be aimless.

Frode recalled his recent emotions. Indeed, he has an unusual concern for little Sam, and he has begun to get close to him imperceptibly.

At first, he thought that little Sam was brought back by Angel, and it was okay to get close to him; but thinking back to Duru who Angel brought back, he definitely didn't have this feeling.

Is this the power of the near-spiritual body?

Frode was shocked, and fear flashed in his eyes.

Angell smiled and said, "You don't have to be so nervous. When you don't know, your subconscious mind will control your closeness. When you really realize it, you will naturally become clear and will not be affected by the near-spiritual body."

Having said that, Frode was still a little scared.

Angel shook his head and changed the subject: "Now it's time to talk about you. Which soul trick do you plan to start practicing first?"

Soul tricks contain a lot of content, from technical, to defensive, to offensive, all-encompassing.

So, Angell asked this question.

Frode pondered for a moment: "My original plan was to practice dead air transformation first. This is the most direct way for me to influence the material world. However, since there may be spider-transformed undead here, I plan to take a look."

The reason why Frode said this is because when learning soul tricks for the first time, although there is a great disadvantage that it is very likely to be affected by the dead air and fall, and someone must escort; but there is also a huge advantage.

The first soul trick, with the bonus of dead energy, can be mastered in a very short time.

If you want to learn the second soul trick, it will take a very long time and you have to learn it with slow and steady efforts. Most of the undead outside only know one soul trick, and therefore, those who know multiple tricks are basically old ghosts.

Because of this mechanism, the initial choice is very important.

What Frode hopes is to improve himself to the maximum extent.

The dead energy transformation was once considered. But now, there is a special undead suspected to be nearby, which gives him new ideas.
