Chapter 612 608. The Supreme Question

The bloody storm brought by the four turns of the turntable on the first day made many people realize that if they participated in the high-intensity confrontation, they would only die. Adhering to the idea of ​​quitting while they were ahead, the contestants who had made some achievements applied for withdrawal during the short break before the start of the Scholar Trial.

Many of them were already scarred and mutilated. At the moment of being able to leave safely, they all showed a look of luck and relief on their faces.

"Every session is like this. They come with full of blood, thinking that they are special and lucky. After a round of trials, they find that the power they are proud of is nothing at all."

Herola sighed as she watched the contestants who accepted the guidance and left one by one. She suddenly thought of herself.

With her strength, the best result is to find a place to hide on the first day, get some small things when encountering a good turntable project, and then leave contentedly to continue to be her own adventurer and save small money, all because...

"Scholar, has this trial appeared before?"

Heroa's thoughts were interrupted, and she hurriedly explained to Lu Yu: "No, the most similar one should be the wise man. The passing mode of the wise man is in the form of answering questions. You can understand it as a knowledge quiz."

"I heard that in which session of the wise man trial appeared, the number of people who advanced was very small, because the Supreme Puppet Master personally set the questions."

Following Heroa's line of sight, looking around, as expected, many people who continued to participate in the trial showed uneasiness on their faces. Compared with most trials that can use force to solve problems, once they are linked to knowledge, the things they are proud of are considered to be sealed.

"It is difficult for a family with strength and background to cultivate an all-round talent, not to mention the tricky questions of the Supreme Puppet Master..." Heroura smiled bitterly and shook her head, "It seems that I can only reach this level."

The rest time was not long. The puppet referee recounted the number of contestants on the scene and marked them. The puppet messengers holding bells shook the bells in their hands. A series of "clang clang" sounds made the contestants who had experienced the high-intensity confrontation on the first day to strengthen their spirits and face the more difficult second round of trials.

The puppet messengers divided the remaining people into different teams and took them to the foot of a high mountain in different directions in the trial field.

Lu Yu's team had about 50 people. It can be seen that the number of contestants in the second round has been sharply reduced compared to the first round.

The puppeteer referee who was originally remotely controlling the trial field also appeared in everyone's sight. The one who judged Lu Yu's team was a puppeteer wearing a green robe. In Selcarlo, this meant that he was already one of the top puppeteers in the association. If you want to wear purple, black, or red, you must become a member of the secret meeting puppeteer.

The blue-clothed puppeteer stretched his hand to the sky, and a puppet owl landed steadily on his arm. After listening to the information it carried, he announced the rules of the scholar trial in a loud voice.

"After the question is announced, you must release the magic messenger to tell me the answer within ten seconds. You will get ten points for each correct answer, and ten points will be deducted for each wrong answer. When you accumulate 100 points, you will officially start the journey to the top of the mountain. Only with enough points can you get a place to climb the mountain and advance to the next trial."

"On the way to the top of the mountain, various revelation puppets will also have wonderful encounters with you. Depending on how you respond, you will get different numbers of points or even deduct corresponding points. Therefore, please do not ignore every puppet that appears in front of you in the mountains, but do not trigger them at will, otherwise you will realize how difficult it is for you who are not "erudite" to face the puppets."

"All points can be exchanged for "props" with mysterious effects in this erudite trial. There is no need to ask me for the specific effects of the props. Everything is random. This is also the reason why the wheel of fate is so difficult to deal with." A fun moment that must be savored under the theme of a big trial. "

"Flying and buffing magic acceleration are prohibited in this trial. "

"Any self-brought props except for props exchanged for points are prohibited in this trial. "

"The time of this trial will start counting down after the first person to reach the top appears. Other contestants who cannot reach the top within the countdown will be eliminated directly if they do not have enough points. Those with enough points can have a temporary exemption to extend their time to reach the top. "

"The points of this event will be recorded by the puppet messenger throughout the whole process. Any behavior that interferes with the puppet messenger and attempts to gain convenience through improper behavior will be regarded as a violation of the Supreme Iron Law, and the Selkalo puppet master will always close the door to his service. "

Herola looked embarrassed. This trial rule means that the first person to start has a huge advantage. Once someone reaches the top, the rest of the contestants will enter the countdown to withdraw from the competition.

She covered her head: "With my brain, it is difficult to even accumulate enough starting points of 100."

In the coal ball chat room, Sera and Lulu were waiting for Lu Yu's reaction.

"Well, is there any loophole that can be exploited?" Sera asked excitedly.

This reasonable "blasphemy" of the rules made her quite excited. It felt like stealing tribute, not to mention how exciting it was.

Lu Yu repeatedly chewed the rules announced by the blue-clothed puppet master, and then smiled confidently: "I feel that there are many things that can be used. It depends on how the specific practice works later."

Seeing Heroula sighing while pulling her long ears and scratching her hair into a mess, Lu Yu said: "Why, do you feel that you have no hope?"

"I'm not very smart. I'm considered a fool among the elves. Anyway, no one has taught me how to be more intelligent since I can remember..." Heroura frankly admitted that she was a fool.

"Why don't you believe in me?"

"Hey?" Heroura blinked, her eyes full of confusion.

"The God of Wisdom is my follower. If you obey me and believe in me, you can also be wise." Lu Yu said with a suppressed smile.

"Stop it." Heroura pouted and waved her hand in grievance, "I'm not smart, and you still tease me."

Lu Yu didn't explain too much, but smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as you believe in me, I should be able to take you to the next round."

With a little expectation for this promise, Heroura nodded slightly.

The birds hovering in the air landed lightly, finding their own contestants.

"Gerran Trial Field, Bass, you now have zero starting points. May the Supreme Iron Law bless you and open the door to the 'Scholar' in this round of trials."

After the eagle-shaped puppet screamed four times in a row, the whole place was silent. Everyone cast their eyes on the mouth of the blue-clothed puppeteer, nervously paying attention to the lips that were moving.

"First question..."

Lu Yu quickly used his tentacles to pull Heroula to his side. She was still confused after being confused for a while, and the question had been announced.

"What are the two common talents of sirens?"

"Word spirits and water attributes are close." Lu Yu said hurriedly, "What are you doing, messenger!"

Heroula, who reacted, quickly summoned the messenger and released it at the last second of the countdown.

The puppeteers of the association checked one by one, and soon, the puppet messenger next to Lu Yu made a sound of ten points being credited.

Heroula's eyes sparkled, and she got closer to Lu Yu, fearing that she would mishear a word and become a free point baby.

"The language left by the famous puppet master 'Healer' in the history of Selcarlo is Kolai, so what kind of continent is Kolai?"

"Trade."

Heroula copied the answer and successfully got ten points again.

Her heartbeat accelerated, nervous and excited: "We are doing this... Aren't we cheating?"

Lu Yu looked at the other contestants who wanted to get closer to the blue-clothed puppet master, and laughed: "Why is it cheating? Doesn't the rule say that you can't tell others the answers you know? Since the Supreme Puppet Master has no restrictions, it can do it."

"But in the last wise trial, it seems that no one did this..."

"How many people are willing to share their knowledge selflessly with others, and that person may become your direct competitor for promotion." Lu Yu said, "Since there has been no history in your Selcarlo, let me break this history."

Nine questions in a row, Lu Yu and Hero La got all correct. These questions asked by the Supreme and the Secret Meeting covered a wide range of topics. Some Lu Yu understood, Lulu and Sera didn't know, and some Lulu understood, Lu Yu and Sera didn't understand, but when the three of them got together, it was so easy!

On the other hand, the other contestants present were all frowning and scratching their heads. The questions that were very simple in Meiqiu's eyes seemed as difficult as climbing to the sky in their eyes, as if they were sports students who failed the cultural subjects...

But Lu Yu was still curious. Is this kind of question similar to a knowledge quiz really qualified to be called "the incomprehensible supreme question" by the people who participated in the trial in Selcarlo?

"The tenth question is the supreme question."

"What does the dragon fear? This question does not have only one answer."

Lu Yu was stunned. This question is completely different from all the previous questions. It is an open question.

The appearance of Hogu and Fagutal appeared in his mind. He conveyed "decay and loneliness" in the messenger.

This round of puppet masters' inspections were particularly detailed and slow.

"Mr. Perch of the Gegran Trial Field, congratulations, you have obtained the qualification to climb the mountain."

"Ms. Heroula of the Gegran Trial Field, congratulations, you have obtained the qualification to climb the mountain."

As the voices of the two puppets shouted loudly in the quiet surroundings, all the contestants raised their heads.

Lu Yu was sure that the promotion reminder sound was deliberately set so loud, the purpose was to attract hatred.

In this round of questions, Lu Yu's team, except for him and Heroula, was annihilated. Almost everyone heard from the puppet messenger "Sorry, your answer does not match the answer given by the Supreme."

The blue-clothed puppet master and a group of puppet referees looked at Lu Yu in surprise. If they were not worried about affecting the speed of the contestants' clearance, they would definitely stop them and ask why the two could accurately hit two of the four standard answers given by the Supreme.

For every question given by the Supreme, they actually answered silently in their hearts, and even they failed under this question... Magical, really amazing.

"I report them, they cheated!"

A typical representative of seeing others get on first, which is more painful than killing oneself, appeared. A contestant who noticed Lu Yu and He Luola whispering to each other shouted angrily.

"They communicated the answers privately!"

As soon as the words came out, everyone's eyes changed instantly, and the crowd was excited, demanding that the blue-clothed puppet master must deprive Lu Yu of the qualification to participate in the competition.

However, neither the blue-clothed puppet master nor the judges had the intention to pay attention, but looked at the random question bank that was constantly delivered to them from the secret meeting, and cleared their throats.

"Continue to ask questions, please listen quietly."

"Respected blue-clothed puppet master, are you going to protect cheaters!"

The Tsing Yi puppet master smiled and made way to the top of the mountain, nodding towards Lu Yu and Herola with a little respect to show his appreciation for him.

Facing the noisy crowd, he said calmly: "In the rules of this year, there is no provision that you cannot tell others the answers you know. They have not violated the rules, and I have no right to deal with them."

"In addition, the top question among the ten questions is extremely difficult for anyone. Even I can't answer it accurately, but they can answer it right the first time... I hope you can realize this gap, Your points will not be cleared. As long as you accumulate 100 points before encountering the Supreme Question, you will still have a chance to catch up. However, if you continue to dwell on the rules and shout about 'cheating' and 'unfair', then the speed at which I read out the questions will also be lost. It will be slowed down accordingly.”

"Everyone, you don't want to see that you are not only lagging behind them, but also lagging behind the contestants in other areas of the Gelan Field, right?"

The words of the Tsing Yi puppet master calmed down the jealous people. They watched Lu Yu and Herola head to the next area talking and laughing, clenching their fists fiercely.

Herola turned into a curious baby and kept asking questions.

"Decay and loneliness, why these two, how do you know?" Herola said, "I thought it was a hero famous for slaying dragons, or a forbidden magic stone or something."

"Because I have seen giant dragons." Lu Yu's answer was simple, "There are more than one giant dragon, so I know how confused and painful they live when they seem to be extremely powerful to outsiders. They are people who long for eternal life. They don’t want to understand the experience. Life itself has become a shackles for them, but death makes them afraid, and they can only exist in this world numbly.”

"They were born powerful, but they were given the cruelest curse in the world."

…

…

The city of puppets, Flowing Light City.

In the quiet palace complex, mechanical and dry sounds are echoing.

"decrepit……"

"Lonely……"

"emptiness……"

"cycle"

"This is what the healer said, the four fears of the dragon."

"He understands, he understands."

"It surprises... people."

"Worth observing..."

"Maybe...he belongs to us."

I worked overtime until after nine o'clock, and I almost fainted. Fortunately, I was able to work more today, even though it was after 12 o'clock. I'm sorry.
