Chapter 447 Bandits Ambush and Kill

In a daze, Ji Xun's five-man team had a black-skinned boy.

However, this guy seemed to be hostile to all nobles, including Ji Xun and other reserve knights who had a relationship with the nobles.

When he sat at the table, he didn't talk to anyone, just buried his head in eating.

Anyone who provokes him will be beaten.

This black-skinned boy is like an untamed and wild wolf cub.

There is always a blade-like hatred in his eyes.

However, there are many such slaves in the aristocratic class, and the nobles have long had the experience of taming.

Human savagery is like that of monsters. After being raised for a long time, they will slowly succumb.

Ji Xun can also see that Master Sak kept this black-skinned boy because he saw his outstanding talent.

People can't die for the time being, so Ji Xun is not in a hurry to contact him.

Every day, I see this guy practicing boxing, eating, and practicing breathing methods.

He is practicing every moment.

Hardworking and focused.

This makes Ji Xun seem to see himself practicing hard in Shangbang Prison.

He was more and more optimistic about this dark-skinned boy.

Boxing requires not only talent but also perseverance.

At this age, whether it is hatred or something else that supports him to persist in boxing, it is already very precious.

Ji Xun and his more than 100 people settled down in the City Lord's Mansion.

Originally, as the reserve knights of Master Sack, they were supposed to receive some basic etiquette and combat training here.

However, what surprised Ji Xun a little was that on the third day, they set off for the Royal Academy.

This was nearly a week earlier than expected.

Although there were no useful clues among the intelligence dealers on the market, Ji Xun estimated that the turmoil was caused by the assassination of the Pope.

If Old Man Xu was really involved, he always felt that there was something hidden behind this incident.

And the Pope was not dead, which meant that this was just the beginning.

The aftermath of the incident had an impact far beyond what he saw.

In the deduction of the world I am, Ji Xun also discovered from those fragmentary intelligence that the situation in the southern continent was not so stable.

But it was just a deduction.

Changes of that level had nothing to do with him for the time being.

Going to the Royal Academy to study now, and then advancing to the seventh level, and truly touching the threshold of the top extraordinary is the most important arrangement at present.

I have to admit.

Although there is no machinery in the southern continent, people rely on their feet and monster carriages to travel.

But the travel efficiency of the top nobles is higher.

Ji Xun and more than a hundred reserve knights followed Master Sack across the void rift, and then boarded the giant flying dragon that carried people and crossed the continent all the way.

The Royal Academy of Arel is not in the territory of any of the three kingdoms, but in the southernmost part, near the Titan Mountains.

Under normal circumstances, it would take at least several months to go from the East Wilderness to the Royal Academy.

But riding the flying dragon, after just a few days, they have crossed the territories of the two major kingdoms of Red Dragon and Black Dragon and arrived at the southernmost tip of the Arel Empire.

Ji Xun also felt very good about this flying experience.

On this day, in the sky.

Three giant flying dragons were soaring in the sky.

This is a giant pterosaur, a giant herbivorous sub-dragon with a body length of more than 100 meters. It is gentle and can carry a large load.

This is also the most common large-scale long-distance means of transportation for the noble class in the southern continent.

The flying dragon has the noble emblem of Duke Landon on it, and usually no blind bandits will have the idea of ​​​​taking advantage of it.

Even if the monsters in the wilderness see it, any intelligent ones will not come to provoke such a noble team.

So this team had a smooth journey before.

Master Sack and the guard corps were on the leading flying dragon, and the magic light shield isolated a room like a cabin.

This magic array consumes a lot of magic crystals to maintain, but it is not worth mentioning for the young master of the Duke's Mansion.

On the back of one of the two flying dragons behind, Ji Xun and dozens of other reserve knights blew the cold wind all the way. Many weak apprentices of the magic system even had snot hanging on their noses and red faces, looking sick.

However, even so, the young men on the dragon's back all had a yearning for the Royal Academy of Arel, the top school that all card masters dream of.

Not surprisingly, this is the most important turning point in most people's lives.

Suddenly, a blue light flashed in the dark depths in the distance.

Someone immediately said excitedly: "Look, that's the lookout tower of the Titan Mountains! We're here, the foot of the mountain is the Royal Academy!"

Everyone got excited after hearing this.

Ji Xun, who was meditating, also opened his eyes and saw the blue star-like light flashing in the darkness.

Gang Duoduo, a dwarf, stood up excitedly and said, "The chief said that the Royal Academy has the casting secrets left by our dwarf ancestors and some legendary forging tools of ancient gods. I must see them this time."

The girl Zhuo Sha was also full of yearning: "My dream is to become a formal priest of the Holy See. Then our village will never have to pay taxes. But I heard that it is difficult. Only those who successfully graduate from the Royal Academy are eligible to participate in the selection. I heard that every year, no more than 30% of students can successfully graduate after five years of enrollment."

After spending several days together, Ji Xun and his teammates became familiar with each other.

Even the dark-skinned boy, they now know his name, "David K. Ken".

When Ji Xun heard this name for the first time, he felt domineering.

With this name coupled with his superb martial arts talent, as long as he didn't die young, Ji Xun saw a strong destiny line in his eyes.

The Southern Continent is not all dragon-born, there are also a large number of pure-blooded human races.

After the development of civilization for a long time, classes will naturally be distinguished.

At first, dragonborn were regarded by humans as "hybrids who had sex with monsters" and were despised by humans;

But dragonborn are stronger than normal humans and have better extraordinary talents, so they have the upper hand in battles.

But as time went by, the number of dragon descendants increased, especially after the establishment of the Holy See that served the Dragon God, the dragon descendants gradually took control of power.

Later, dragonborn rarely intermarried with humans and became a higher race.

Pure-blood humans have completely become the bottom class of society.

David was a commoner born in a human village.

Ji Xun also deduced his experience from the few words he told.

In the past two years, there was a war, and the village was destroyed by the noble army, and he became an orphan; then he wandered until he met Gong Wu and learned some entry-level martial arts skills; later, because of his good strength, he went to the adventure guild to make a living, and finally met him again. During the war, the team was wiped out, but it was because of his outstanding combat prowess that he survived. He was sold into slavery by an officer, and spent some time in the arena. Then it was bought by a nobleman, passed through several times, and finally bought by the Langdon family.

Speaking of which, the hatred was because of the nobles, but it had nothing to do with the Langdon family.

In this way, David became Master Sack's slave.

Just as he was thinking about it, the cheers of the teenagers on the dragon's back became louder and louder.

It turned out that I had already seen the towering mountains.

Ji Xun also looked up and was immediately shocked by the mountain range: "Is this the Titan Mountain Range?"

This is the tallest mountain range he has ever seen, rolling up and down with no end in sight.

And look at the clouds on the snow line, as if there is an endless starry sky on the top of the mountain.

You must know that this is a cave world, and the space here is a bit ridiculous.

"The caves here in the Southern Continent are obviously different from those in the Eastern Wasteland."

Ji Xun muttered to himself.

He had seen the map before. Further south from the Titan Mountains was the Endless Warcraft Forest.

Things like the "Ancient Battlefield of the Gods", "Misty Abyss", "Gate of Hell" and "Lost Ancient City of Atria". These dangerous places that I have heard about for a long time are all in the endless deep forest behind the mountains.

Griffith once said that she once encountered a mythical creature and was severely injured and returned deep in the Demonic Forest.

It is said that Emperor Lanlingst also died in a crack somewhere.

This place is full of mystery.

It is also a treasure place that countless adventurers flock to.

As for Eirel Royal Academy, it happens to be located at a pass in the Titan Mountains, and its location is very special.

It is said that venturing into the Warcraft Forest is a compulsory subject for academy students every year.

I saw the majestic mountains, but it was actually still far away from the Royal Academy.

However, just when everyone was cheering and cheering, there was a sudden change

Without warning, the sound of breaking wind sounded for a moment.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Three sharp spears instantly pierced the flying dragon's body, and blood splattered in front of the young men's eyes.

The magic lamp on the dragon's back illuminated the panicked faces.

At the same time, everyone felt a strong sense of weightlessness.

The three-headed pterosaur flapped its wings and fell from the sky. The people and cargo carried on its back also fell freely in all directions.

In the distance, the guards of Duke Langdon's family also reacted immediately and shouted: "Enemy attack!"

"Damn it, it's a bandit!"

"."

Almost at the same time, several high-level card masters accompanying Young Master Sack started fighting with the masters who suddenly appeared in the forest.

It looked like they had encountered bandits.

However, when the falling Ji Xun saw the attack, he muttered in his heart: "Entrance trial?"

Although the clone's perception ability is only that of a card master, his mentality is as stable as ever.

Not to mention whether there are blind bandits not too far away from the Royal Academy, and there are also inexplicable split dragon crossbows.

Even the "performance marks" of the high-level card masters' fights just now were too stiff in the eyes of a professional actor like him.

You were your personal bodyguard. Instead of protecting your young master, you immediately went to fight the bandits?

Moreover, the height of the flying dragon is also very subtle. It is neither too high nor too low. It is a height where if you make some preparations, you will not be thrown to death.

It was obvious that this was an anticipated exercise.

Before coming here, Ji Xun had heard that the Royal Academy was not that easy to get into, and there were often some weird screening tests before admission.

However, the content of the trial changes every year and is highly confidential, so students will not know it in advance.

Now it seems that this year's trial subject is the Bandit Trial.

But Ji Xun could see it and didn't dare to be careless.

This kind of trial has a real death indicator.

In other words, if his clone is not good, it will really die.

With the thought, Ji Xun took out a card, [Feather Falling Technique] blessing, and his body instantly changed from an uncontrolled free fall to a slow descent.

This card is a basic card that everyone who rides a flying dragon is equipped with. Even if it is a melee type, it can be activated as long as it has a little magic power.

The only thing that is tested is adaptability.

We were no longer in the Duke's Mansion now. Ji Xun knew it was a test, so of course he had to stand out.

But he could see at a glance that this was a drill.

But those young reserve knights did not have such a calm mentality, nor did they have such a sophisticated life experience.

They were still in a daze.

Their eyes were full of panic, as if they did not understand what was happening.

When Ji Xun took out the card, he also shouted to his teammates who were already panicking: "Use [Feather Fall]!"

At this time, the three teammates, Seri, Gale, and Zhuosha, reacted and also took out the card to activate the spell, and their bodies stagnated instantly.

The dwarf Gang Duoduo reacted the slowest, but because of the reminder, he also activated the card at a safe distance.

Only David ignored Ji Xun's intention at all.

After a moment of panic after the attack, this guy regained his indifferent face, and then the spell power surged all over his body, and a visible air wave lingered on his feet.

It was as if he was stepping on cotton, which made his whole falling trend obviously stagnate.

After a few steps in the air, the free fall was already controlled.

Everyone else used cards to save their lives in a panic, but this guy was the only one who walked in the air.

Although his skills were still immature in Ji Xun's eyes, he was already outstanding among the young men.

Seeing this, Ji Xun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and sighed again in his heart: "Controlling Qi? This kid's talent is really outrageous."

This arrogant and showy look is exactly like Gong Wu when he was young.

At the same time,

watching the young men floating in the air like dandelion seeds, somewhere in the forest, two people wearing the robes of the Royal Academy tutors were observing carefully and recording something from time to time.

"Oh, that Qigong kid is very talented. I originally came to see the young master Sack of the Langdon family, but I didn't expect a family servant to be so eye-catching."

"Really good. This crisis response ability and Qi control proficiency are both excellent. He is a good seedling."

"There are a few other good ones. He can react so quickly to use the [Feather Fall Card], and his crisis intuition and edge ability can also be considered A-level."

"."

As Ji Xun expected, this was an entrance test.

The mentors of the academy notified the accompanying guards of the Langdon family in advance, and then started the surprise trial.

The final achievement of the extraordinary path is not only based on talent. Most of the time, abilities such as bravery, wisdom, and crisis intuition can be seen from the beginning.

This trial is the first lesson for students to come to the Royal Academy.

It is also the most important basis for the academy mentors to select students and finally allocate resources.

The Royal Academy does not cultivate waste.

Being able to enter is not only about identity and family background, but also the potential in the future.

But this is just the beginning of the trial.

The main course is later.

There were only a few seconds between the time of being attacked and using the card to save his life.

If it was too late, the falling speed would be fast enough, and even using the Feather Falling Technique would be too late.

If you fall to the ground at that speed, even if you don't die, you will most likely be seriously injured.

Just like now.

Before Ji Xun and his companions landed, several muffled sounds of "dong", "dong", and "dong" came from the ground.

Several unlucky guys who used the cards too late had a close contact with the ground.

Probably they broke their legs and wailed.

However, before the teenagers could figure out what happened, they were reborn unexpectedly.

"Swoosh", "swoosh", "swoosh".

Another dense sound of breaking wind came, and crossbow arrows with magic inscriptions on the arrows came like raindrops.

This kind of spell crossbow arrow is almost as powerful as a bullet, which can cause fatal damage to this group of card master apprentices.

In mid-air, Ji Xun had already carefully observed the situation in the forest.

When the rain of arrows came, he decisively gave up the Feather Fall Technique, forced free fall, rolled over to relieve the force, and hid behind the big tree.

Seeing him do this, several teammates followed suit.

Gail was an assassin and landed swiftly; Zhuo Sha and Ceri were both magicians, which was a bit embarrassing, but they also landed safely; Gang Duoduo had thick skin and flesh, and even after being shot by an arrow, he was completely fine and landed with a thud.

The black-skinned teenager David stepped into the air and landed on the tree branch, like a lurking cheetah, already in combat mode.

The six-man team hid against this big tree, while observing what was going on with the guys shooting cold arrows in the distance.

Gang Duoduo was hit by an arrow on his buttocks, and although there was no bleeding, the skin was broken.

He pulled out the arrowhead and complained, "Damn it, how did we meet bandits?"

After the crisis, reason returned.

At this time, the teammates gradually reacted.

Gale, who rarely spoke, disappeared into the darkness. He had obviously guessed something and said, "It may not be an attack, but an entrance test."

After hearing this, everyone finally understood.

But they also knew what the entrance test meant. Sister Zhuosha looked at the seriously injured people in the distance and said solemnly, "Even in the entrance test, there are death quotas. In other words, if we can't solve the troubles in front of us, no one will care if we die here."

Lizard Mage Seri complained, "What on earth are the college instructors thinking this year? The entrance test is so intense, I'm afraid many people will die this time."

When everyone heard this, their faces had already put away their previous ease, as if they were thinking about how to break the situation.

However, the dwarf Gang Duoduo was always a fool and didn't care about any danger. He rubbed his buttocks, thought of something, and turned his head and said, "Ah, thanks to Brother Su Lun. If it weren't for your reminder, we would have suffered a great loss. By the way, you reacted really quickly."

Ji Xun smiled: "Some practical skills that my father taught me before."

Everyone was also suddenly enlightened after listening.

They knew Ji Xun's identity. It was normal for people from a knight family to have stronger practical ability than ordinary people.

But in addition to Ji Xun, there was another guy who performed more eye-catchingly.

That was David on the tree branch above his head.

The team members had good character and personality, and they didn't have any class concepts at this age.

After a few days of getting along, the dark-skinned boy also accepted the fact that there were five teammates.

At this time, David, who had been observing for a long time, came to a conclusion and said, "There are at least eight enemies hiding in the forest. It seems that they are at least formal card masters."

Although his tone was as cold as ever, this information also gave his teammates a crucial reminder.

"Formal card master?"

Gang Duoduo and the others looked solemn.

This means that the other party really has the ability to kill their group of apprentices.

Ji Xun was not surprised at all.

His current body's observation ability is not so sharp, but he can guess that although the attacker is a formal card master, he should be weak.

And he will not act in groups.

In total, it is about ten to one.

In other words, if their group of apprentices team up, they have a chance to kill back.

After a little analysis, the teammates also understood the general situation.

Although their team is a strange combination, their strength is still very strong.

The means of just the six of them are enough to kill some formal card masters.

Zhuo Sha asked: "What should we do now?"

Lizard Mage Seri said: "Since it is a trial, our performance must be related to the admission evaluation. I mean to protect the young master!"

"Yeah."

Everyone knows that the trial is only one of them.

They are retainers, and protecting their young master is the most important thing, and it is also the choice that maximizes benefits.

After making the decision, several people approached the place where Young Master Sack landed carefully.

However, no one expected that at this moment, somewhere in the forest.

Two cloaked families saw

"Tsk tsk, the boss is really a good idea to let us sneak into the trial of the Royal Academy. Otherwise, if we want to snatch the treasure from the young master of the Duke of Landon, the boss may not be able to do it in person."

"Don't be careless. I heard that the boy is quite powerful. After the transformation, he also has the combat power of a formal card master. Let's make a quick decision. Kill the man, snatch the things and run away quickly."

"Okay. But by the way, who do you think is the employer of our mission this time, Lao Mo, who dares to target the Landon family?"

"Who knows? We don't know the intrigues among those nobles. Just take the money and do the job."
