Ye Lan (1)
William hurriedly stepped forward to support the old father's shaky body.
"If you want to take revenge, just come to me alone, don't implicate innocent people..." After coughing a few times, Chavez still had the idea of sacrificing himself to save the village.
The villagers owe this child too much. If possible, he would be willing to exchange his life for the whole village.
[Implication? What a shameless word.] Glance at the gloating candidates around him, Victor stepped forward: [Do you dare to make what happened here a few days ago public in front of the Paladins of the Holy See?]
"Paladin?" The village chief's eyes swept to Lucien, the only candidate who was not stained with dust. His transcendent temperament and glittering armor aggravated the sense of sacredness.
[Yes, I am an illegitimate child, but this is not the reason for you to bully me and my mother. For more than ten years, it is fine to drive my mother and I to the most remote corner of the village to live, but I can tolerate even deducting the monthly food distributed. But in order to protect your village, you starved a patient who had been bedridden to death. Is this the behavior of a man who claims to be kind? After my mother died, you not only did not tell me the truth, but only thought about how to deceive me back to the village to save your life, and even to cover up your evil deeds, trying to silence me with the hands of a killer, and do such an outrageous behavior. How dare you say that you are innocent?]
The words written in the air immediately caused controversy among the candidates. Although these people did not like Victor's arrogance, they did not agree with the practices of Buch Village.
"You, you're talking nonsense!" Seeing the suspicious gaze that the candidate ejaculated, William made a defense of stuttering.
[Nonsense? Among the time-based spells, there is a kind of thing that can be restored to the memory of the earth and air for several days, months, or even years ago. Should I show these people what you did?]
"I don't believe that there is such a spell!" Although he said he didn't believe it, William's flashing eyes showed his guilt.
"Stop, William." Chavez yelled softly, stopping his son from continuing to speak.
[Spend the rest of your life in regret and fear. The murderer is not qualified to condemn me for venting my resentment.]
"No, you can't..." Kapa hadn't experienced nightmares because of the vigil, but he also didn't want the whole village to sleep at night and be entangled in nightmares every day.
[Why can't you? You took away my only mother whom I can rely on, and took away my only talent that I own.] Spit out the remaining half of my tongue and saw Capa back in fear: [Do you really think the guy who sneaks into the village every night is a frost wolf? That is just a fake disguised by three self-righteous women in Mivela town. Evil? Fall into darkness? If you hadn't forced me to a desperate situation, why would I have to abandon humanity and become an evil mage who is in compatible with evil? I wanted to take my mother away after becoming a high-level mage. It's you! It's you who created the current situation with one hand. If you really want to complain, you will resent your heart that is neither tolerant and selfish.]
With his resentful words, he gave Chavez a fatal blow, who was already guilty. He covered his chest and fell to the ground and muttered to himself.
[You are not nobler than me on the moral scale.] Victor left angrily despite the thoughtful Lucien and the silent other candidates.
"Village Chief..." Kapa, like all villagers, was worried about whether he would be with nightmares every night in the future.
Shaking his head powerlessly, Chavez no longer had any objections to such a result. With Victor's personality, it is rare to be able to endure it to this point. It's better to leave before he changes his mind.
Chavez did not forget the two-headed silver wolf I just saw, and even the wolf king was taken away. This place is no longer suitable for hunters who make a living by catching warriors. It is time to change to a settlement...

There were not many candidates who were smuggled into this round, and barely forty-five people squeezed into the third round. When the exhausted candidates returned to the Adventurers Guild in Mivela Town, the first thing they saw was the giant magic crystal that was temporarily moved to the hall, and three super-large dressing mirrors.
"The next level is about knowledge, how could such things appear..." Several candidates who had experience in exams gathered together and looked at the magic crystals placed in the hall with concern.
Magic crystal is an indispensable and important tool for magical shadow transmission. In previous tests, its appearance often means the activation of the last level of "face-view".
The question is, this fifth level exam has merged physical fitness and survival ability. Will even knowledge shrink again?
Some candidates who were originally entrusting with using their rich knowledge to get back some points could not help but despair.
"Because of the death of the priest Pa'an, we wasted three days, so the content of this exam had to be slightly adjusted. The headquarters temporarily decided to combine the remaining knowledge with the last level of vision. The examiner responsible for monitoring will also attend the three representatives at the headquarters in person. If you don't want to be directly removed, don't talk nonsense after the magic messaging is connected." Buffy gave a brief explanation of this change.
As soon as the temporary change was announced, the magic crystal made a resonant "buzzing" sound. The surface of the crystal light turned from dark to light, and a ray of light poured into the mirror in the middle, reflecting the image of a middle-aged man in a white robe. Immediately afterwards, the mirrors on both sides of the left and right also reflected one person.
"Iothian." The gentle voice of the man in the middle and the costume embroidered with the Holy Light logo on his body clearly indicate his belonging to the church.
"Ramd." The old man with wrinkles on the left was full of depressed face and looked in a bad mood. Compared with the people from the Holy See, his clothes were much more fancy and covered with various valuable magic crystal products.
"Saf." The man on the right was wearing light leather armor, with the most approachable and youngest among the three.
In an extremely concise way, the representatives of the three major guilds had to enter the last level early because the Empire and the Holy See were tightly urged.
"Don't you mind starting with me?" After the last dispute, the conflict between Iosien and Ramd surged, and neither of them paid attention to each other. Saff had to come forward and explain the change.
"Everyone, I believe you also know what the ultimate goal of these three-year adventurer exams is. Due to the tight time, we have to adopt extraordinary strategies. Ah... I won't talk nonsense, just tell you the general content and standards. First of all, please stand in front of the magic crystal stone from the highest score. This last level not only requires a mental test, but also your psychological endurance."
When Saf was explaining, Buffy and Lucien wrote the results of the first two tests on the guild task list that was temporarily requisitioned, and the candidates spontaneously repositioned based on this.
"The so-called facial recognition is actually a unified question by the guild management to allow fresh candidates to answer based on the questions. The standard for passing the test is very simple. Scores are given based on the satisfaction of your answers. If you can't pass this test... it means that all your previous efforts are in vain. If you have any opinions, you can ask them now, and I will announce the topic of this movie in the trade show later."
"I have a problem." Perel raised his hand first: "How can we tell a person is a useful material? It is impossible to make an accurate judgment based on the scores of a few questions or several levels of test."
Safton felt a headache.
If someone else could treat this issue as despising the examiner and ignore it, it would be difficult to fool it if this one asked.
"The score and the examiner's impression are completely determined based on the question. We will not be favored, so please rest assured in the personnel review. After all, the ultimate goal of this test is not only to provide you with an opportunity to become famous, but also one of the ways for various countries to screen talents. We are very cautious." Iosien finally spoke, saying that the guild would not make fakes, nor would it give special care.
"The Adventurers Guild has always been ahead of other organizations in terms of its number of members and strength, but in recent years this trend has declined. The reason is that the participants are decreasing year by year. As new guild members, you have the ability and obligation to make due contributions to the growth of the guild. This time the topic revolves around "increasing the number of examinees" and "how to achieve a perfect balance within the three major guilds". The conversation is limited to half an hour.
You can express your ideas. Not only can you pass this test, but the guild will even adopt your suggestions and understand what I mean? Please come up with every candidate who read the name, don’t worry that your words will be heard by others. A small sound insulation barrier will be opened next to the magic crystal stone." Saf nodded to Buffy, and he immediately asked the mage who was already on standby to stand at the designated location, and a small sound insulation barrier will be opened in an instant.
Ramd, who had not spoken, then reached out and pointed to the task list in the hall, and the third-ranked name lit up.
"Kelin Baier?" Perel looked familiar with the name, and Sarach, who was an imperial guard, whispered a report.
"It's the old man in the same group as us... he seems to be a member of the Magic Association, and his rank is two levels higher than Wood."
"Advanced Mage?" Perel was even more surprised.
As an advanced mage, Victor Wood has the limit to taking the adventure exam. Why did the advanced mage with his own mage tower participate in the adventurer exam that is just a junior? What tricks are the old guys in the Magic Association playing...
