Chapter 690:
The face was covered with paper, and the young man kept lying flat, and he answered weakly:
"...what are you doing, Zier."
"I just wanted to ask you what you are doing here? Every time I hide in such a place, the city is crowded again today. Do you know how hard it is to find a fool?"
Zier wrapped his hands in front of his chest and complained impatiently:
"Yak, it's not that I'm talking about you, and I ran away without looking at the results. Although it was not announced immediately, there is no need to hide in the square, right? Well, I should be able to catch up when I go back now."
"What did you catch up with? I failed the written test..."
Yak exhaled and blew the paper away, revealing a prominent claw mark on his right cheek. He sighed and turned around and lay down on his side awkwardly.
Both of them have almost the same physique and length. However, compared with Zier, who looks majestic, Yake's appearance is not outstanding and he is wearing only ordinary linen clothes.
Yake has disordered black hair and his temperament is opposite to the reserved and calm Zier, giving people a sense of irritability
Feelings.
"You didn't look at the results, how did you know that you didn't pass?"
Zi Er sneer, picked up the paper on the ground and cleared his throat, and read out the words written on it.
"The person who passed the written test is as follows, number 546: Zir Torrede─"
"Did you come to show off to me specifically..."
Yak, who suffered another blow, was about to shrink into a ball again.
"I haven't finished speaking yet, number 547: Yak Lor!"
The voice deliberately raised his tone. After saying that, Zier rolled the flyer into a roll and threw it at Yak's head.
The useless man on the ground immediately turned over and sat up as soon as he was hit by a roll of paper. His originally dim and unsightly brown eyes instantly ignited a sharp light.
"Really!? Zier, you didn't lie to me, right?"
Yake quickly got up and leaned over Zier and peeked to confirm whether his name was above him.
"I will fall into the pool with my head in my head. Get up quickly. It stipulates that I must report before sunset, otherwise I will lose my qualifications."
"Why didn't you talk earlier? You have to go there quickly, otherwise it will be too late!"
He quickly tied the sword around his waist and shook the clothes that were rolling on the ground and stained. Yak patted his cheeks and stepped forward with a thrilling chest.
"Yes, yes, I'll ask you not to hide so far next time."
Zier sighed helplessly and followed Ak's footsteps.
Ake, who swept away his worries, had a child-like bright smile, Zier, who breathed a sigh of relief, also showed a relieved smile, and the two ran on the street full of pedestrians.
After passing through waves of people, several carriages busy delivering goods flashed by, we finally arrived at the square in front of the castle in the middle of the royal city before the sky was dyed red by the sunset.
From a distance, you can see exquisite hero stone sculptures standing everywhere and the mighty red lion flags floating in the air. Not to mention the surrounding watchtower, the entire castle is as high as four or five floors, and the castle of the local lord is simply incomparable.
The capital of Didvia, Delake, is now showing us without reservation. Such a spectacular landscape will never be bored no matter how many times you see it. Coupled with the golden brilliance of the setting sun, it further highlights this majestic building that takes into account both art and defense.
"Yak, it's not the time to admire the castle. Although we were not late, there were already many people waiting in line for the second level interview."
After hearing what Zi Er said, I noticed that the crowds in the square in front of the inner city did not come much in the morning. Most of the people gathered here now were participants who passed the first selection.
Most of them are fierce and powerful men, or foreign warriors who are fluent in their own language, or travelers from afar, but not half of ordinary people.
Wow~ That old man's arms were too thick, and the hammer in his hand was exaggerated.
Suddenly I felt that it seemed more difficult than climbing the sky to stand out from this group of people.
It’s not that I don’t have confidence, but that I have never even killed a rabbit until now, let alone attacking monsters, and it’s hard enough to just spend the farmland to support myself.
Although I practice swordsmanship with Zi Er every day, it is not considered practical experience. It seems that each of these people has experienced many battles, and maybe someone has slaughtered the dragon.
"Believe in the effort you have been making. Didn't you come here for this?"
As if I saw through my inner thoughts, Zier's timely words of encouragement swept away the uneasiness in my heart.
That’s right, I have worked hard day and night for many years to work hard for today, so how can I stop here? I have to be more confident in myself!
Zi Er, who was standing beside me, suddenly thought of something and turned his head, and pushed his hair that had slid across his shoulders back and asked:
"By the way, Yak. How did you answer the last question of the written test?"
"The last question?"
I tried to recall the various difficulties I encountered in the exam room in the morning.
To be honest, I almost never write the written test questions. I have never read any "full collection of ancient history books" or "army organization theory" in my life, but I have read the "education wild grass picture book" and "experiences in the East".
In short, it is either academic history or marching theory. In addition, magical knowledge has appeared. For someone who can only barely read and concentrate on swordsmanship since childhood, I cannot understand the topic itself, so I can only write some ambiguous answers.
In this way - how did I pass the written test?
Although the entire test paper is written randomly, the last question is really impressive, because no matter how you look at it, it is different from the difficult questions above. I remember the question is like this:
Suppose one day, your master and mother are being attacked by the disease at the same time, and you only have an antidote in your hand. Who will you use it to save? Please write out the answers and reasons.
"Zier, what do you write the answer?"
"How did you ask me? I personally think that this question is a test of our loyalty in critical moments. Generally speaking, we will choose the 'master', but there may be a trap. Think about it, if you answer the 'master', it is equivalent to being unfilial, which does not meet the conditions that a person with noble character has."
Zier raised his right index finger and continued to explain incisively.
"Although I don't think there is a so-called correct answer, my answer is 'mother', because without a country I may not disappear. However, without a mother I will definitely not be born in this world and will not be able to contribute my life to the country. This is my answer - Hello! Yak, are you listening!?"
Zier's scolding diverted my attention to the boutique.
"Are you finally finished speaking? You talk a lot every time you speak."
"It's so noisy, you haven't answered me yet."
Zi Erqian leaned over and glared at me, looking like he would never give up until he got the answer.
"Ahem, is this important?"
I was suppressed by Zi Er's high aura and my body unconsciously leaned back.
"It's very important! You probably won't write the first twenty questions, no, you definitely won't write them? There is no allocation standard for this question, and it is probably the key to your passing the written test. Of course, I'm curious about what you wrote."
Since he decided to break the casserole and ask the questions to the end, I had no choice but to follow my memory to explain the answers written on the test paper.
"My mother died when I was a child, so she could only hand over the antidote to her master. However, if he was a tragic person, I would simply throw away the antidote and finally commit suicide to death."
Zi Er opened his eyes wide, showed an incredible expression, took a deep breath and scolded loudly:
"──Who would write such an answer!?"
He held his forehead with blue veins and kept shaking his head.
