Chapter 6 On the Trial (Part 1)
Yang Zheng tied all the hair he emitted behind his head, and his tall and burly body was hidden in his robe.
He put the Black Emperor's Staff on his waist. Although it looked like a fire stick and was extremely bad, Yang Zheng gave it a domineering name. After all, the stick was broken and the gold and jade were among them. It was really a pity for him to not have a good name. He went to a grocery store to buy a set of kitchenware, pot, pot, bowl and knife... He knew that Catherine would definitely not think of these things.
In the square of the Magic School, Yang Zheng met Catherine and his group of people.
A group of sixteen students, including Catherine, Yang Zheng, and two others, just formed twenty.
The other two were a man and a woman. The woman was wearing a priest robe, about the same age as Catherine, with green hair and purple eyes. Catherine introduced him to her that she was her good friend, Pastor Linda, a medical staff member in the group, and this was a foreign aid.
Another foreign aid frightened Yang Zheng, who was the most burly person Yang Zheng had ever met when he came to the North Mainland.
Because of the prosperity of magic civilization in the Northern Continent, people are generally shorter than the Southern Continent, and warriors are extremely rare. Therefore, Yang Zheng has already looked very tall in the Northern Continent, but this man is half a head taller than Yang Zheng, two meters tall, his muscles are bulging like rocks, and the weather is already relatively cool. He is only wearing a narrow vest and a pair of tight leather pants on his lower body, as if he is going to show his bodybuilder-like figure.
Black Bear Camon and Catherine introduced Yang Zheng.
Kamon's eyes had already fallen on Yang Zheng, and when he saw Yang Zheng's figure, Kamon showed vigilance in his eyes.
Especially when he saw Catherine and Yang Zheng familiar with each other, his yellow eyes showed a strong hostility.
Yang Zheng's mental power was no less than that of the great master, and he was also a warrior who walked out of the battlefield in blood. He immediately sensed the threat from Kamon.
Another man who is interesting to Catherine.
When Yang Zheng saw the look of Camon falling on Catherine, he knew that this carefree Catherine was actually very popular among boys. Yang Zheng only had dinner with Catherine or walked in school a few times, and he could feel many hostile gazes hidden in the dark.
However, most of the masters of these eyes are vulnerable, and most of them are students. Seeing the teacher they secretly love walking with a man, they will definitely be jealous, so Yang Zheng doesn't care much. In addition, although Yang Zheng only wears the ground robe of a junior mage, it doesn't seem easy to mess with and has no trouble.
The black bear camon in front of me is not much the same.
This guy is as strong as a cow. As soon as he looks at his eyes, he knows that he is a brave and ruthless person. Yang Zheng is not afraid of him. But he is afraid that there will be some trouble when he is trialing along the way.
The sixteen students led by Catherine were not good birds either. Several of them looked gloating, and they probably were guys who had a crush on the teacher.
Catherine still looked heartless. She didn't realize that such a small team was hidden in it.
Yang Zheng touched his nose and said nothing. The strong wind and waves came. Some shrimps and let them slap, anyway, he had no intention of Catherine. He greeted Linda first, and then smiled at the black bear Camon.
"You are the chef Miss Catherine said." Kamon looked mocking: "You are the young man, you can only be a nanny."
"Cammon, shut up." Before Yang Zheng could say anything, Catherine first came to the Hedong lion roar: "If you talk too much to me, get back to me. Don't think that I can't pass the trial without you."
Kamon shrank his head, gave Yang Zheng a fierce look, and squirted out his breath from his nose, retreating to the back.
Yang Zheng shrank into the crowd "knowingly" with his appearance. He is now used to restraining his sharpness. Moreover, there are not many people who can arouse his competitive spirit now. The mentality of the strong is often not entangled in fighting for strength and being a competitive tree. If you want to be a hunter, you must learn to hide.
After a brief meeting, Yang Zheng also understood the students' situation.
Most of the sixteen students are intermediate magicians, which is also one of the graduation qualifications of the magic school. However, students who pass the intermediate magic assessment do not even have the qualifications for trials, let alone graduate.
There is only one blonde named Madidi, a high-level magician, a talented student among the sixteen people. He is handsome and elegant in character, obviously from an extraordinary background, and he holds the position of deputy captain (the captain is Catherine). There are three little girls among the sixteen people, and he has a good impression of Madi in his words.
There was also a brown-haired young man named Norriman in the team, with a hooked nose and a rebellious look on his face. He looked like a rebellious child, with a green snake tattooed on his left hand, and there were three students beside him with his horse's head. Sometimes he swept over the horse's emperor with a cold look.
The students are vaguely divided into these two factions.
Looking at their appearance, Yang Zheng couldn't help but think of his youth on Earth.
Perhaps as long as it is in school, there are probably some rebellious young people, young and impulsive, obsessed with young and dandy, and pretending to be cool and seductive. This is youth, even if you change your time and space, it will be no exception.
Even Yang Zheng was in school when he was having a group fight with people because of Yan Yu.
Thinking of this, he felt that the children in front of him were actually quite cute.
Yang Zheng's honest appearance was inversely proportional to his appearance. The little girls in the team originally saw Yang Zheng tall and looked like a cool guy, but now when they saw him being honest, they suddenly felt that he had no interest and lost his interest.
There was not only one trial team in the square. At least twenty teams gathered in the square. The old principal wearing a wizard robe appeared for the first time. The old guy Triman was also there. A group of senior school executives were all old men, with white robes and white hair, and it was very intimidating to sell them.
First, the principal gave some encouragement words, and then the deans of each department went to the trial team of their departments to encourage them.
With the five major colleges and alchemy departments, each trial is a large-scale competition. The difficulty and pass rate of the trial have always been a competition for various departments, not to mention rankings. The best grades will become the first department of the school. This is not only an honor, but also an extremely rich reward. Students from the first department will gather in the capital and be qualified to study in the Royal Magic Tower.
All the Alchemy Systems ranked at the bottom in previous trial trials, and there is no way to do this. The Alchemy System focuses on refining weapons, and there are many systems with real differences in their own cultivation.
Moreover, the Alchemy Department has always been the least number of people, and it is extremely unpopular. Other departments generally have four or five teams, but they are in the Alchemy Department, with only one alone.
But this time it was different. The Alchemy System, which has always been very low-key, actually chose the highest difficulty trial.
The Ogre lair, it is simply a nightmare for the mage.
A few years ago, a department chose to challenge the ogre, but it was wiped out and became the ogre's on-the-trade meal. Since that time, no one has dared to challenge the ogre.
The Alchemy Department was originally the weakest, but chose such a terrible trial program. It was already in school
Fengyun, Triman failed to refine an epic magic weapon half a month ago, and even gave this shadow. The eyes of many trial teams bet on the bets were pity.
The title of "Death Group" has long been spread throughout the campus.
Not to mention the others. In fact, everyone in the group was uneasy, except for the vigorous and heartless Catherine.
Triman walked over, holding a bag in his hand, glanced at the team and said, "Don't take this trial too seriously. If it really doesn't work, don't go into the nest. It doesn't matter if you can't complete the task. The important thing is that everyone comes back alive."
"Professor!" Catherine said dissatisfiedly, "Wouldn't you say such a discouraged person before you set out?"
Triman sighed: "Catherine, I know you value this trial very much, but you have to do everything within your ability. Kamon, you are a transformed warrior, and you can fight against the ogres head-on, and you have to take the responsibility of protecting the team members."
Camon patted the giant sword on his waist and said roughly: "Don't worry, see who doesn't have eyes to touch a hair."
Yang Zheng felt the malicious eyes again, and he ignored them and kicked the grass under his feet.
"Catherine, hold this thing."
"Well, that dress!" Catherine took the Triman's bag and opened it. It was the failed serpent silver robe. Because it failed, the name "Guardian of Alexander" was not used.
"Professor, didn't you say that the backlash of the instrument soul is dangerous?"
Triman thoughtfully: "I have been a little confused these days. What must have happened after I was unconscious that day. The clothes were strangely formed, so I tried to use them. The soul of the instrument was very irritable, but it seemed to be frightened and would not attack the user on its own initiative. I added a few more layers of seals. So although the clothes are not as powerful as epic magic weapons, they are better than ordinary excellent magic weapons. The protection is very good. You can hold them and act according to the opportunity."
"Thank you, professor." Catherine's eyes were filled with tears. Challenging the ogre was completely the result of her impulse. In order to make the alchemy department look up at school, Catherine chose this trial. Triman originally disagreed and could not resist her. The old man had a weird temper and was actually very concerned about them. Otherwise, he would not risk his life to help them refine epic magic weapons this time.
Triman patted Catherine on the head, glanced at Yang Zheng, said nothing, and turned around and left.
Trials are hard, everything depends on yourself. Not only can you not bring a penny or a little food, but you are not even allowed to ride a horse.
A group of twenty people could only walk on the trial journey with their legs. Except for Kamon, they were all weak mages in the team. In order to save their energy, they brought at most a few clothes in addition to the necessary magical tools, and their schedules were like ascetics.
In the initial stage of the trial journey, the team can still rely on freshness to support the students, talking and laughing, and being happy as if they were participating in camping.
After half a day of traveling and reaching a wilderness, this group of greenhouse flowers that had not suffered hardships finally began to realize that trials were by no means a romantic adventure, and the hardships of the journey were not something you could experience when sitting in class watching the hero’s travel notes.
Who has been blistered, who has fainted, who has become so hungry.
Problems are endless, and the small troubles of daily life are amplified several times during such a journey of shortage of money and rice, and sighing all the way.
In the evening, camping in a small woods, besides Yang Zheng, Camon, Catherine, and Linda, the only ones who could stand among the students were Marty and Norriman.
"Teacher, I can't do it anymore."
"Ahhhh, be gentle, the bubbles are all broken...I'm so painful."
"Master, give me a roast chicken."
"Teacher, how many roads have we walked... What's only twenty miles? Oh my god, we have to walk like this for more than ten days... Kill me."
There were ghosts and wolves howling sounded in the campsite.
Catherine frowned while counting the number of people. She thought that the journey would be very hard, but she didn't expect that her group of students would be so fragile. She had only walked for a long time, and it was a flat road. They were just like this. How could they go to the ogre nest? How could they fight against those ogres who were over three meters tall and powerful and became more discouraged the more they thought about it.
By this time, Linda had already gone to heal the students who had blisters on her feet.
Camon yelled there: "Little white-faced, where is our dinner."
With Camon leading the way, the students also shouted: "Let's starve to death, starve to death, starve to death..."
"The little white face has run away, I just say that such a little white face is useless." Kamon smiled strangely.
When Katherine heard Kamon's words, she quickly looked around. Sure enough, Yang Zheng disappeared, which scared her. Yang Zheng was just a junior mage, in the wilderness. What should I do if there was any problem? She looked around and shouted as she walked: "Edward, Edward."
But there was no response.
"Stop looking for it, you must have been dragged away by wild beasts, there are sand wolves here." Kamon gloated.
"Shut up." Catherine was so angry. Now she was anxious, but the team would only cause trouble.
"All up, all up, go find someone for me."
Catherine ran back to the camp and drove the students away.
Amid the complaints, the students got up and screamed with sharp eyes: "Isn't that? He's back."
Katherine looked at him and Yang Zheng was slowly dragging two things towards him.
"Edward," Catherine screamed suddenly, and Feng Fenghuohuo ran to him: "What are you doing? I'm so anxious, I'm not worried."
Things were all in chaos, and Catherine thought of it and it was just a fire.
Yang Zheng pulled the things in his hand to the front and apologized: "You were camping just now. On the way I came, I saw wolves appearing in the woods, so I went to buy two to make dinner."
The two wolves, who were shot with one arrow on their necks, dragged them out and frightened Catherine, and asked her to swallow the complaints into her stomach. Then she said anxiously: "Are you injured? You don't say anything if you go hunting. What kind of ability do you, a junior mage, show?"
"It's okay, I used to be a hunter." Yang Zheng waved the bow in his hand.
When Yang Zheng dragged two wolves back to the camp, there was a lot of cheers in the camp. They starved to death. Then they peeled and cooked meat. It was no problem. Yang Zheng was very skilled in cooking and thoughtful, and even bought a lot of seasonings. So his bag was the biggest. At first, the team laughed at him, but now everyone can only admire him for his thoughtful thinking.
After eating and drinking, it was already dark.
Everyone sat around, chatted for a while, and went to rest. The surroundings were howling and the wind was rippling, so the team was divided into several groups to rotate and vigil.
