"Did you hear about the new thief in the city?"

"Are you talking about the guy who stole a lot of things at once and only stole worthless bargains? It is said that no one has found any trace of him yet."

A week has passed since Bell first transformed into a nemesis and committed a crime.

During this week, Bell became a midnight thief twice more, taking away a large amount of basic materials from the warehouses of ordinary caravans.

Among the merchants, Bell, whom they had never met, was already famous. Countless businessmen were talking about Bell every day.

They also invited a large number of thieves to explore the site and communicate with each other. Whoever received bulk commodities from unknown sources would be traced by other caravans.

The turmoil among chambers of commerce has even affected the daily lives of ordinary adventurers, causing them to discuss it.

But the news of the midnight thief did not affect the enthusiasm in developing [City of Bones] in Cangxing City.

More and more output from [Dead Bones City] has made the city of Cangxing agitated. Passers-by on the street are discussing this new dangerous place and the news that Edu bought it with silver coins a week ago.

However, these news will not affect Bell's schedule today.

"Huh-Mr. Bell, I'm a little nervous."

Edu tidied up his clothes. He dressed very cleanly today because he had an appointment for the apprentice bard assessment today.

Although he had only entered the Bard Guild for a week, with Bell helping him make up lessons at night, the assessment of an apprentice-level bard was not difficult for Edu.

"Don't worry. With your current level, as long as you don't make mistakes, you will definitely pass this assessment."

Bell, who was in Edu's pocket, comforted him. He was a little sleepy and was going to take a nap during Edu's exam.

Bell knew very well that as the accompanying parent, he could do nothing but worry outside the examination room. It would be better to use this time to take a deep nap and regain the energy lost from staying up late yesterday.

Bell was so exhausted during this period that he finally dug a tunnel fifty meters underground that was only for him to pass and pointed directly to the outskirts of the Bamboo Sea.

After using the compass he bought to identify the direction of the underground, he worked hard to dig the hole, and the durability of the iron pickaxed him four times before he was able to dig out this straight underground tunnel that was more than 30 kilometers long.

This is also due to the unreasonableness of the pixel props. The solid underground rock formation will turn into a storable pixel block after being hit three times by Bell's pickaxe, and the mining efficiency is frighteningly high.

Moreover, Bell not only dug a road, but also had to run back and forth by himself to get to and from the bamboo sea.

While digging the tunnel, he also laid railroad tracks in the excavated passage.

This is why Bell has repeatedly attacked those caravan warehouses. He needs a lot of iron to build rails and minecarts.

With the minecart, Bell can quickly travel between the Bamboo Sea and Cangxing City.

Although there is no redstone track to accelerate the minecart, the rails and minecarts built by the tool bench can also reach a speed of 20 kilometers per hour, which is equivalent to the speed of a normal first-speed electric car.

This movement speed is not as fast as Bell's full sprint, but it is better in that it is continuous and does not require the application of external force.

As for why the underground tunnel was not dug directly into the depths of the Bamboo Sea, but stopped outside the Bamboo Sea, the reason is also very simple.

He had dug deep into the Bamboo Sea, where the ominous atmosphere was extremely thick underground. The rocks here were no longer integrated, but fragmented, with a large amount of filthy mud and white bones embedded in them.

For safety reasons, Bell did not choose to continue advancing underground, but retreated a lot and chose to open an exit upwards outside the Bamboo Sea.

"The work of re-exploring the depths of the Bamboo Sea has been put on the schedule. The main task is to hunt monsters to expand the magic symbols and magic formulas through [Pyrophilic Wisdom]. We will also pay equal attention to exploring the [Dead Bones City], and try to obtain the knowledge of human adventurers as much as possible.

Corpse."

This is the schedule Bell set for himself. After all, there are no complete and fresh corpses of monsters in Cangxing City for him to burn and study.

The high-end goods in the high-end chamber of commerce in Cangxing City have very strong security and magical anti-theft measures, so it is difficult for Bell to deal with them.

"Edou Wine, next is your apprentice-level bard certification assessment."

Walking into the backyard of the Minstrel Guild, Edu placed the satchel containing Bell on a bench nearby, and nervously faced the three examiners standing in the yard.

In fact, he knew all three of them. They were the bards who came to the Bard Guild to introduce him to the Bard Guild this week.

Two low-level bards and one mid-level bard are the minimum examiner requirements to start the professional level assessment.

"Boy Edu, your progress is very fast, and everyone sees it. But don't think that we will give you preferential treatment. On the contrary, we will have stricter requirements on you."

The mid-level bard who is the examiner is an uncle with half-white hair. Judging from his muscles, this uncle looks more like a warrior.

In fact, the examiner uncle has indeed become a low-level warrior. Many adventurers will choose to work part-time in other professions after they are unable to continue to advance, but it is often difficult to reach a higher level.

"Sir, I'm ready."

Taking a deep breath, Edu signaled the examiner to start the test.

This is the first exam in his life, and Edu is still very nervous.

However, the assessment content of the entry-level bard is actually very simple, and the process only lasts about two hours.

It started with a magic test. The examiner took out a thin needle, pricked the pad of Edu's finger, took out a drop of blood and dropped it on a device similar to a thermometer.

This is an instrument to check the concentration of magic power. Because magic power is engraved in the blood, it can check the magic power of an individual through the blood.

"Very good, it seems that you have finished recording the entire "Song of Spring" and have a good understanding of it."

The examiner agreed with the concentration of magic power in Edu's body, which has reached the threshold of an apprentice-level bard.

After passing the magic level, the entire bard assessment is half successful.

Next, let’s talk about some basic knowledge. Edu will not have any problems with this. After all, he is an extremely hard-working and smart young man.

The examiner asked about reciting techniques, singing techniques, and several classic poetry creation ideas. Edu was able to answer them in an orderly manner, and the assessment process was quite smooth.

After all, the questions asked by the examiner are very simple entry-level questions.
