Jaladi's mansion is located to the west of the town. It is the tallest and most luxurious building complex in Mivela, and is far more grand than the mayor's residence.

As soon as Cohen returned home, he received an order conveyed by the housekeeper, and his father, the current patriarch of the Jaladi family.

"Father, I heard you are looking for me." As the biggest playboy in the town, Cohen's polite appearance is contrary to his usual frivolity. However, a slap was greeted by a slap, which made Cohen take a few steps back before he stood firm.

"Did I forget what I said to you last time?" Gandel Jaladi's always solemn face was a little angry: "I said I was not allowed to trouble Victor Wood again!"

Cohen stood with his hands hanging down, not daring to touch his swollen cheeks, and even more afraid to refute.

This bastard Eric, even though he dared to report it after receiving my money.

When Cohen thought of yesterday, he specially asked Amoddo to give some rewards to stop him, so he couldn't help but scold him in his heart.

"Tell you the truth. I have found out his father's identity. It's not something that our Jaladi family can afford. If you dare to touch him again, be careful that I will remove you from the family!"

"Father!" Cohen was shocked. He was the only son in the family, and his father was so determined. Could it be that Wood was really the illegitimate son of a big man?

"Who is it? Wood's father..." He was unwilling to accept that the mountain village boy who emerged for no reason not only robbed the title of first place in his academy, but also made him threatened to be removed from the list by his father.

"Fernandez Mendel." Gandel's answer made Cohen's face look ugly than the name of the head of the Shadow Guild just now.

"Duke Taran...is it actually Duke Taran? How dare he..." Before he finished speaking, Cohen slapped another slap.

Gandel looked at his son who didn't know how he had such a descendant, and he was just a fool!

"Shut up! You idiot, don't cause trouble for the Jaladi family." Gandel rebuked Cohen, who covered his face when he heard footsteps coming from the corridor.

The knocking sounded, followed by the butler’s voice.

"Sir, Mr. Buffy Suville visits."

"Please come in." Glazed at Cohen, Gandel waved at him, signaling that he could go out.

"Don't forget, please begging Fisher is your task." Hearing the advice from behind, Cohen curled his lips and responded vaguely. After returning to his dormitory, he smashed everything he could, and he still felt unhappy.

I really didn't expect that Wood, who always looked poor, was the illegitimate son of Duke Mendel. This is a secret in the secret, if it spreads...

Thinking of this, Cohen began to be a little scared.

Without the Magic Society, a small priest like Taran would not even have the weight to speak in the Western Asian Union. From the moment Fernandez became the Duke, everything changed. He married Princess Notting, the only daughter of Emperor Alberrecht, who was married far away.

In just twenty years, with the support of the strongest empire in the South, Taran quickly grew from a poor and small principality to one of the top economic powers in the alliance, relying entirely on nepotism. If someone found out that Fernandez was entangled with other women and gave birth to a son, the angry Notting Empire might send troops to destroy the entire principality.

It sounds a bit incredible, but Cohen knew that the former Notting Emperor, who was named the Great Emperor, could do anything, and the countries he destroyed had already reached double digits. Even if the bloody emperor had abdicated for many years, as long as the princess went back and cried...

The more I thought about it, the more frightened Cohen finally realized how terrible his previous actions were. Since the Duke dared to take such a big risk, he must like that woman very much. If the two killers of the Shadow Guild really succeeded, the Jaladi family would definitely be retaliated from the Duke. I would rather devote my energy to the Adventurer exam...

Cohen was even more frustrated when he thought about finding Fisher during the day.

He had been unable to understand why his father tried his best to please Fisher, that old man. I heard that he was exiled Jing Yao nobleman, just an alchemy dean. I really don’t know what value he has.

According to his father's instructions, Cohen asked Fisher to take him as his teacher. The old man offered extremely harsh conditions and actually wanted to pass the adventurer exam with the first place, otherwise everything would be free of negotiations.

"Damn it, who stipulates that you have to take the exam as an adventurer?!"

As a complete playboy, Cohen only has a little talent in alchemy, and his other talents are zero. His abilities, not to mention getting good grades in the adventurer exam of one out of thousands, can't pass the first level even if he can't pass it.

"No, I have to find a way... I have to get to the last level anyway." Cohen thought hard about how to deal with the exam two days later.

※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the next two days, the population of the small town of Mivira suddenly increased, and people who took the exam flocked from all over the southern land. Since the examination location has always been chosen for remote areas, and this exam was originally chosen in the south of Taran, it did not cause much controversy when the guild announced the modification of the test site temporarily.

On the day of registration, Victor rushed to the Adventure Guild early in the morning and found that it was crowded with people. The originally spacious guild hall was full of dark heads.

This time, the person sitting in the reception seat was no longer the pretty and lovely Vina, but was replaced by Mivira's celebrity, Eric, the branch president of the Shadow Guild. The bald head was particularly conspicuous in the crowd.

Buffy stood behind Eric, his sharp eyes as sharp as a knife made every signer tremble. When Victor came to Eric to submit the registration form, Buffy took his eyes back from the crowd and looked at the young people standing intently.

From head to toe, finally landed on the Misilian badge on the chest.

"Advanced Mage?"

[Yes.] Victor used a tongue stick to answer without being arrogant.

"It's really rare..." A tongueless person also signed up, and Buffy, who was responsible for the first group of reviews, added a sentence in his heart.

For clergy and mages who mainly use chanting and language, voice is an irreplaceable basis. Although tongueless people overcome this barrier and become high-level church staff or great wizards, that is a very rare number after all. Most tongueless people cannot overcome the series of troubles caused by being unable to speak, and then stay at the rank they have obtained in their entire lives.

I don’t know if the person in front of me belongs to the former or the latter…

Once you reach the advanced level, almost without exception, all mages will devote their body and mind to magic research without intention to take the adventurer's certificate. As an advanced mage, why do you want to join the mercenary mage to join the mercenary group to have the qualifications of adventurer?

[Learning is endless.]

Victor turned his eyes to strangers he had never seen before, knowing that Eric was just a appearance. The real person in charge was the man with a strange goatee.

Under the lich's direct gaze, Buffy looked away.

Out of the instinct of humans and killers, he always felt that something in the young man's eyes made him instinctively afraid. This idea made Buffy even more curious about Victor and scared him... This description is really a bit self-deprecating.

"Duh!" Eric stamped a red stamp on the newly filled-in registration form: "You have passed, Mr. Wood. Go to the first group to register."

After taking the stamped registration form, Victor walked towards the area pointed by the examiner without looking back.

"Follow this guy, I always feel that he is here to find trouble." Buffy whispered to Eric.

There must be no mistakes in this adventurer's certificate exam, after all... that person also took it. Even the tongueless person cannot relax his vigilance.

A row of newly purchased wooden chairs are placed against the corner of the hall. Except for one old man, the rest are young, three men and one woman.

"One more..." The youngest one saw someone walking towards their corner and whispered to the person beside him.

Ignoring the attention projected by these people, Victor picked up the farthest chair from them and sat down, took out a yellowed map, and his eyes scattered on the leather scroll that was only elbow-long.

The red-haired boy was curious and stretched his neck and looked at it, and found that it was a simple map of the Principality of Taran.

"Sarach, don't indulge in your curiosity." Among the four young men, a man with blonde hair softly advised.

"Yes." He calmed down his mind and clenched his legs. The boy turned his eyes away and did not take a look.

This small movement that few people noticed was discovered by Victor. Although his eyes were scattered on the map, it did not mean that his attention was all focused there.

The army's...the special and unique posture reminds the Lich of some memories that belonged to it during his lifetime.

Suppressing the displeasure, it once again devotes its energy to the map.

The Adventurer's Verification is an excellent opportunity. This must-have exam for adventurers is only held every three years. The loser not only faces a two-term ban, but also has life danger. In addition, the examiner's preferences are different each time, and the degree of good and evil is also different, which makes the examination standards different in each world.

After carefully understanding some materials about the exam, Victor was a little worried that without revealing his identity, he did not know whether he could pass the opportunity until the end. But in order to enter Jingyao Academy, he could not miss this opportunity, and he did not want to stay in this town as a free apprentice for Fisher.

Although there are several thousand people who come to participate, only one-tenth of them are truly qualified for reference.

Registration is the first wave of screening. People with discomfort or low abilities will be eliminated here. If too many deaths during the exam, it will affect the reputation of the Adventurers Guild, and examiners will remove those who are not capable before the formal exam.

The selected candidates were divided into three groups according to their strengths, the strongest group, the second group, and the worst group. The number gap between each group was also large, with nine people in total in one group, twenty-seven people in the second group, and the three groups were the most, with more than a hundred people.

After the registration screening was over, Buffy announced that the qualified candidates would be given half a day to purchase the items required for the exam and rest. After lunch, he set off to the first examination room.

The undead didn't have to eat or sleep, and Victor naturally didn't have to prepare for ordinary candidates. He was thinking about the strange things he had just seen.

Some of the applicants who have good abilities are obviously removed, but most of the candidates are novices who are so ordinary that they are no longer ordinary, which is completely inconsistent with the purpose of "finding hidden talents" as the Adventure Guild. What is the standard for this so-called Adventure Examination?

A pair of gray deer leather boots appeared at the edge of the perspective, and the owner of the boots was Vina, who had not seen each other for two days. Her originally pretty face was covered with frost, and her eyes were not as soft as before. She stared at Victor fiercely, her expression was so fierce that she could describe it as gritting her teeth.

[Look at how you look, the gift has been received.] On the day of eliminating the Davao mission, Victor spent ten silver coins and asked the beggars on the street to send a small box the size of a palm to the Adventure Guild. It contained a bloody finger, and the blue snake-shaped tattoo made Vina quit her job as a receptionist after receiving the anonymous gift.

She recognized that it was Emma's finger.

"You bastard, you are so arrogant..." Vina clenched her fists and rushed forward to fight for him.

[Arrogant? I am just defending myself. The killer scolded him for being arrogant about the failed mission target. It is an unprecedented strange thing.]

Since there weren't a few people left in the Adventure Guild, Victor and Vina's "conversation" attracted almost no attention, except for Buffy, who had been paying attention to it. He stood far away, his eyes never left the lich.

[Miss Vina, I haven't touched you yet. The first reason is that you did not personally perform the assassination. The second reason is that you know very well. The real wolf is coming, and I think it's more suitable to leave you to them.]

Vina's face turned pale and her whole body was trembling with anger.

[Why, do you want to do it here? Think about your identity. Eric of the Shadow Guild hasn't left yet. If he knows what you and your companions have done during this period, the branch leader wants to cut your throat more than anyone else.] Although it is easy to deal with a character like Vina with its power, Victor does not want to reveal his identity. Moreover, his specialty is evil and undead spells. If he uses it in full view of everyone, wouldn't it reveal the true face of his undead?

In order to conceal her identity, Victor did not even kill Felley himself, throwing her to the sword spider just because he didn't want the corpse to be contaminated with the breath of the undead. Although the puppet corpse can conceal the unique death aura of undead creatures, the undead spell cannot be eliminated. As long as an adventurer brings the corpse back to Mivela, the light church in the town can immediately find out the cause of her death. Until the possessed "Wood" identity is so tough that it dares not even move the church.

"You'd better be careful. Don't be killed by other candidates before I kill you with my own hands." Virginally abandoned the threat and Vina left. She also noticed Buffy's gaze. Since Victor used a tongue stick, it was easy to find the content of the conversation and could not be long. She chose to start in the adventure exam because killing people during the exam was not illegal.

It's true that he is a companion, his mind is the same simple...

Staring at Vina's departure back, Victor sneered.

Whether it is Feli, Emma, ​​and this woman named Vina, they dare to pretend to be the third-ranked killer organization in the Principality.

If it weren't for the purpose of attracting the real Frost Wolf and observing Jing Yao's movements, the Lich would have cleaned her up with another companion two days ago.

Buffy, who had been following Victor, saw Vina who was in trouble, walked away, turned around and glanced at the portable timer placed on the table. All the magical gravel had leaked out. He nodded slightly to Eric beside him.

Eric, who was also the president but was much younger, immediately blew the silver whistle in his hand. The clear whistle prompted the candidates who took the exam that time was up.
Chapter completed!
