#632 on the Road (Six Thousand Words, Two in One)
Die on the road! !
This sentence is so cold.
There was an uproar from the crowd!
Except for some people who have the status of knighthood, or who have received knight training in their respective academies before, everyone is just a very ordinary student or a commoner, aristocrat, and their life is dull, how is it so close to such a word.
As soon as Flynn opened his mouth, he taught them the first lesson, the cruelty of the mysterious world and the despicability of ordinary people's lives.
Flynn glanced down with a sneer, but said nothing.
He thinks these newcomers are ridiculous. There is no reason in the world for wanting to gain power without paying the price. The strong have come out of the corpses of many mortals. Otherwise, where will eternity, truth, and omnipotence come? Wise?
But not all newcomers are like that.
Flynn's eyes swept over.
Due to historical reasons, the talented people from the southern and northern parts of the Federation were divided into two major factions when they came to the Capital Academy. Although they were divided into some small factions because of various regions, the north and south factions were still clearly distinguished, and the small factions were not worth mentioning.
Among them, the southern part of the Federation is more chaotic, and it is closer to the war between the Federation and the slaves. It is also a famous knight.
In the south, even nobles must be trained as knights since childhood, and some nobles are even knights themselves, which is different from the nobles in the north who pay more attention to politics and culture, so the southerners are much calmer when they hear the word death.
After all, knights have been indoctrinated in this aspect since childhood, and they are synonymous with force and war.
The new people in the north will be a lot more flustered. In their minds, the word death is still far away from them.
The most calm are the people sitting at the front. These people have the status of apprentices themselves. They have sufficient knowledge of the mysterious person and confidence in themselves, so they behave very calmly, and some people are even reading books. .
Flynn kept nodding as he watched, but his face was expressionless.
"You are lucky enough, because you have good talents and are good seedlings worth cultivating, so I will not let you die too much along the way. Other people are different, how many people can come to me in each batch Can't even tell!"
Immediately, a fourteen- or fifteen-year-old noble boy stood up and said angrily, "But you didn't say that before!"
Flynn sneered: "Then what do we say? Just because of a test result gives you great power? The path you chose is not an ordinary path! This path is not only full of dangers, but also has to pay for everything. cost!"
Another teenager shouted: "Then I refuse, I won't go in three days, I want to go back to the territory!"
Flynn nodded and said nothing.
Seeing this, more people who were afraid of death immediately agreed.
The rest of the people are still looking forward to the power of the Mystic, but they are also a little afraid of this road that may cost their lives, so they all look at Flynn with hope, hoping that Flynn can give them a satisfaction under the pressure of so many people. 's reply.
But they were disappointed, and Flynn said nothing.
These people were afraid of being afraid, and after all, they could not stop the decision of the Silent Tower, and they set off as usual three days later.
The carriages were parked in Lofes Square, some luxurious and some simple, and most of them were full of luggage.
Some of the people who shouted to give up in the auditorium a few days ago also came, and some really didn't come. As a result, there were only about 60 people in the original team of more than 70 people, but Anyang wanted to get these. man's fate.
It didn't take long for Flynn to come. He rode in a black carriage, but it was not a horse that pulled the carriage, but a strange creature that looked a bit like a rhinoceros, very strong and powerful.
Afterwards, a group of mercenaries with fierce temperament also arrived on horseback, and quickly surrounded everyone on horseback.
One of the middle-aged knights frowned and rode his horse to ask Flynn before he came back and said:
"Everyone, I have to regret to tell you that this road is not easy to walk, and it is very dangerous. Your luggage and team are too bloated. You must throw away unnecessary things and reduce the number of carriages as much as possible. !"
The crowd immediately roared again.
Although there are also commoners among the people who have been tested for talent, most of them are nobles. It is already the limit to let them not bring accompanying guards and maids. If they want to throw away their luggage, it is estimated that they will die along the way. .
"These things are very precious to me!"
"I've already thrown away a lot, so little is my limit, and the rest can't be streamlined any more!"
"My dry food along the way is here!"
"My father is Count Alf!"
...
People came up with all kinds of excuses.
But this team of mercenaries was obviously instructed by Flynn, regardless of their excuses and noble status, if they did not obey, they would directly enforce it! On the contrary, some civilians are more cooperative. After all, they have no confidence, and the things they bring are not valuable.
But when they got to the trainee team, the mercenaries consciously skipped it and didn't dare to do anything to them.
Just when everyone thought this was all, the middle-aged knight rode his horses around everyone: "I have already said that the number of carriages should be reduced as much as possible, and the team should be streamlined, so next, I would like to ask you all to be aggrieved. "
The nobles were in an uproar immediately.
"You put it lightly, the carriage is so big, and it can hold a few people without being crowded! And you said before that the luggage was reduced, why didn't you search the luggage of the people in front of you, just because they embarked on the path of pursuing mysterious power before us. ?"
"That's right, I'm definitely not giving in this time!"
"I will never take a carriage with these commoners. Of course, if it is a beautiful lady, it can be considered!"
...
The knights still ignored the opinions of these noble children, and directly killed at least two-thirds of the horses pulling the carriages, leaving only a few carriages that seemed to have a relatively solid structure, forcing them to share one. carriage.
Of course, this behavior also caused a lot of backlash, and some nobles expressed their intention to give up the trip on the spot.
In this regard, the middle-aged knight only said coldly: "I have heard about what happened a few days ago, my lords, I think you better think about it seriously, if you give up this precious opportunity, your father Will I tolerate you!"
The children of the nobles who were still arrogant before suddenly died.
Yes, all they rely on is their noble status. Without this status, they are not much different from the commoners who obediently accept the arrangement. And now is an opportunity for them and their family to soar into the sky. If they want to give up, they will definitely not get the consent of the family owner, and the result of going their own way is that they can't even go back to the nobles!
The apprentices still have privileges in this matter, but the privileges are not very large. The middle-aged knights quickly came over and politely asked if you could be accommodating, reduce some carriages, and implicitly stated that this was what Lord Flynn meant. .
When it comes to Flynn, many apprentices know what to do no matter how hard they are to speak, and they all nodded in agreement.
However, the apprentices are still treated much better than others. The others are three or four people in a carriage. The apprentices are generally two people who have a good relationship and ride on the same carriage, and they also have their luggage. You can go all the way. Had a great time.
Anyang was not affected in any way, because their group of four apprentices only used a carriage.
He and Shirley ride in the same car, to be precise, he rides the car alone, Shirley is in charge of driving the car, but Yu and Martin are both on horseback, and the mercenaries have nothing to say, not to mention the four of them. Strength and talent are the strongest.
After a while, the talented people were still negotiating the allocation of carriages, causing everyone else to stop in the square to wait for them.
After half an hour -
The detected talents have not been assigned yet.
Anyang frowned and glanced over there. Most of the people who have known each other these days are riding in the same carriage, but there are some who were not very gregarious before and couldn't find a carriage to accept them, or some nobles did not allow civilians to ride on them. car.
The clashes led to a standoff among several vehicles.
It wasn't until the mercenaries not far away that they couldn't bear it any longer.
After ten minutes, everything was finally resolved.
The middle-aged knight stepped forward and said: "You are all future adults, my name is Tris Roland, and I am the head of the mercenary regiment responsible for escorting you. I would like to greet you here, and by the way, I wish you all the best in this journey. It will go well!"
After a pause, he added: "It will take us about a month to reach the Blackwater Wharf in Archiland Province, and then the adults will take a boat there to your destination, and there, our escort mission will not be considered. Done! But before that, we need to go to Solanka, where there are also a group of adults who were directly admitted by the tower."
The middle-aged knight obviously knows that among these people, there are only a handful of people who can truly become mysteries, so he is not too polite.
In fact, this is also true. Most of these aristocratic teenagers are sought after by everyone after detecting their talents. Even those who have been unhappy before have their status soared. Whatever they want to do, no matter which woman they want to enjoy, or whatever they want to do, Their families will satisfy them. And there was always a group of people who came to cater to them, to please them, or women who didn't look at them rightly before took the initiative to embrace them. Inevitably, he was a little bit fluttering, thinking he was the proud son of heaven.
In fact, they only have one more chance than ordinary people. Some people have been eliminated in the auditorium a few days ago, and some people will be eliminated along the way. Those who finally reach the Tower of Silence are not the winners. Most people will fail.
It's just that they haven't realized it yet.
It didn't take long for everyone to finally hit the road.
Anyang can still hear people talking or arguing in a low voice in the car behind. It seems that this journey will not be peaceful, but he undoubtedly doesn't need to worry about it. Almost as soon as he stepped on the carriage, he was destined to reach Silent Heights smoothly. tower.
After about two hours, everyone left the capital.
Some weak-tempered people began to cry softly. After all, most of them were just teenagers. They all knew that they were students admitted by Metropolitan College from major colleges across the country. No matter how precocious they were, it was inevitable that they would be a little sad.
Correspondingly, there are also some ambitious people who are full of vision for the future and have a strong desire for power.
...
Another half hour--
But Yu was still following the carriage, and Martin had consciously went to talk to Tris, the head of the mercenary regiment.
His purpose is to ask for some information on the road, and by the way, make the road more comfortable. After all, in addition to shouldering the safety of everyone along the way, the accompanying mercenary group will also undertake logistics and other work, such as food and daily life.
Tris obviously remembered everyone and knew everyone's identities clearly, so he was surprised by the visit of this extraordinarily talented trainee. Naturally, his attitude was completely different from that of other talented people. do not.
"Sir, what advice do you have?"
"I was bored and rode around on horseback."
"Sir, you are really leisurely and elegant."
"Haha, Lord Tris, I think you have an extraordinary temperament. You should be a great knight, right?"
Tris was very polite: "You are too polite."
Martin smiled: "So you admit it? It's fate, I was also a great knight before I detected my talent."
"what?"
Triston's eyes widened.
Martin smiled again, showing him his strength.
Tris was immediately shocked: "You are still a great knight? God, you are a first-class aptitude! If your cultivation path goes smoothly, you will definitely become a real Lord Mystic. So successful!"
After a pause, he looked at Martin carefully: "And you are... such a young great knight!"
Martin said: "It's nothing, I just want to communicate with you more about swordsmanship."
Tris hurriedly said respectfully: "It's no problem, I hope I can get some inspiration from you, after all, such a young genius is too rare. And with you here, we must be much safer on this road. ."
Martin also continued to be polite to him.
When Martin returned to the carriage, he had put away his hippie smile and began to report to Anyang in a low voice. It includes the itinerary and accommodation arrangements of the team in the next few days, and the dangers that may be encountered along the way, which are explained in great detail.
Obviously, in the process of communicating with him, Triss has revealed everything he can say to him.
"Sir, that's probably the case."
"kindness."
Anyang in the carriage nodded.
But suddenly, there was an uproar from the front.
The convoy stopped temporarily.
Shirley said in front of the carriage, "Sir, the people who were walking at the front seem to have stopped and didn't move."
Anyang frowned, opened the curtain and looked out, but he could only see a captain's carriage, and couldn't see what was going on at the front, so he said, "I seem to hear a girl screaming, go and have a look. what happened!"
"Yes, my lord!"
But Yu immediately rode his horse and ran forward.
Martin said: "These noble children didn't bring a driver, and they didn't know how to drive, so they might have fallen into the river by the roadside."
Anyang pursed his lips and said nothing.
Soon Danyou came back and said, "Sir, there is a pile of corpses in front of you. The ones that were just put there are still bleeding. I heard from the people in front that these people came to the Capital Academy, but they didn't arrive when they gathered today. Noble son, I didn't expect..."
Anyang waved his hand, indicating that he knew.
"Do you use this method to intimidate these people?"
He knew that with the style of the Tower of Silence, if he could tolerate the free choice of these noble children, then not many people would know about the existence of the Tower of Silence for so many years! And there's only one easy way to shut people up...
die!
Anyway, they don't value life, and they don't care about nobles!
Soon someone in front was so frightened that they cried and refused to move forward with this group of executioners anyway, as if they were still playing a child's temper at home. Especially with some girls, they are undoubtedly more afraid of death than gaining power!
The knights of the mercenary group naturally wouldn't even bother to persuade them or force them to go on the road.
"You can go back too!"
With only such a cold word, Tris urged everyone to drive over the corpse and continue to move forward.
Those boys and girls who were still crying suddenly felt chills all over their bodies. They glanced at the broken corpses on the ground, and then at the knights who were following them with crossed swords for unknown intentions, and immediately chased after them. The carriage ahead!
Anyang glanced at the corpse as he passed by, and sure enough, there were a few faces that were vaguely familiar. Without exception, they were the ones who had the most serious resistance to Flynn's cold-blooded resistance three days ago. At the same time, it could be seen from their clothes that their identities were very noble.
But it is estimated that no one dares to collect the dead body for them!
Anyang thought so.
There were a few cries coming from the front, and some signs of vomiting could be seen on the ground from time to time. Obviously, many talented people in the northern part of the federation saw a corpse for the first time. It also made them realize that this was not a good journey.
On the contrary, the road is full of death and blood.
And they have made a choice, and there is no turning back!
The convoy moved on.
On the road, a teenager tried to escape from the mercenary group when it was convenient to get out of the car, but was easily discovered by the knights. This naturally caused some weak people to scream and fear.
At dusk, the convoy passed through the Viscount of Loserka.
This happened to be the territory of a noble girl in the convoy. The girl was already terrified, and immediately took this opportunity to ask her father, who is a viscount and lord, for help, but her request was strictly rejected by her father, who asked her to use the interests of the family. for heavy.
After this, no one has any intention of leaving the team.
At the same time, the trainees in the team were also somewhat dissatisfied with this group of newcomers who had spent a lot of time, but some of them did not show it considering that they would be studying in the Tower of Silence in the future, and there was no need to stalemate the relationship in advance.
And Flynn is still on the team!
At night, everyone arrived at a village.
The knights of the mercenary regiment unloaded some tents from the carriage and set them up skillfully, but did not enter the village to spend the night.
The tents are separated by men and women, and there are three people in one tent. The apprentices are more distinguished in the eyes of the mercenaries, and many of them have the habit of reading books at night, so they are usually one per person, and the tent has remaining.
The mercenaries began to divide their troops into two groups. One was responsible for security on duty, and the other was responsible for lighting fires, cooking stoves, and so on.
The evening meal is naturally not as good as in the academy, but at this time, no noble children dare to hold their own identity and make trouble. So no one complained even if it was unpalatable, but someone silently dumped it out, preferring to go hungry rather than eat these things.
"This group of pampered northern pigs are also children of nobles. We from the south are not so hypocritical!"
But Yu said with contempt.
Martin also agreed and said: "Today is very fortunate after a day of driving and driving, and they rarely suffer. If they don't eat now, they will definitely be too hungry in the middle of the night. If they do this again at breakfast tomorrow, they will know it's wrong. It's gone!"
When the northern nobles refused to eat, some geniuses detected in the south were frowning and swallowing the food!
Shirley said: "Maybe this is Lord Flynn's intention, to smooth their spirits before reaching the tower, let them repay the world and mysteries with awe, and after reaching the tower, they can avoid the high Tower is a lot of trouble!"
Anyang smiled and did not participate in their conversation.
"call!"
He blew into the bowl in his hand and took a sip of soup.
Then he frowned.
Their food is much better than others. There is mushroom soup, and some hot dried meat and bread. It can be said that there is no problem in terms of nutrition. It is obviously treated differently, but the taste is still not flattering! This soup is so salty...
Seeing his expression, Shirley stood up immediately.
"We also have dry food and kitchen utensils in our carriage. If you are not used to eating, I can make new ones for you right away."
Anyang waved his hand: "No need!"
Shirley didn't say any more.
Some apprentices next to them have taken out the dry food they brought, causing some talented people to drool constantly. These self-proclaimed prided people finally realized the difference brought about by rank, but it's a pity that they didn't even dare to complain.
Just like the commoners and nobles for thousands of years!
Of course, there are also apprentices who don't care about this, so they take the food prepared by the mercenaries and eat them. After eating, they take out their books and sit in front of the fire to read silently. The twisted words are not afraid of others. People can understand.
They are also showing themselves to those who are gifted what life will be like after embarking on a mysterious path.
Some apprentices asked the mercenary group for lamps and went back to their tents to study more secret knowledge.
Perhaps it was because Flynn felt that the trainees already knew what the Mysterious Road looked like, and their temperaments no longer needed to be tempered, or perhaps the mercenaries did not dare to be rude to the trainees, so they treated them differently, and their requests were generally granted. Satisfy.
It's different with someone else.
To put it bluntly, most of these people were recruited by the trainee organization of Metropolitan College from the colleges in various regions through the relationship of the federal government. They were just some students, and they were not in the eyes of these knights who licked blood.
Some people who have received knight training before are considered good, and they can talk to the knights with a thick face.
Anyang also read the book for a while, and was about to go to sleep in his tent, but he didn't expect that Kang Fei would come to find him, and wanted to ask him for help to talk and let the knights of the mercenary group be a little more accommodating, so that she could also get some special treatment .
Anyang naturally refused without hesitation.
In about three days -
Everyone arrived in Solanka and found a hotel to rest.
They will meet here with the talents who have been directly admitted by the Silent Tower, and then embark on the journey.
