At midnight three days later.
On the top floor of the most dilapidated building in the orphanage, in the dead office of the dean.
Angel and Floyd stood by the window, looking at the only lit room in the opposite building. It was originally the library of the orphanage, which contained a large number of fairy tales and picture books collected by the Thyssen family. However, after the orphanage was abandoned, these books were all burned to the ground.
The reason why the lights are still on there now is because it was temporarily converted into a soul library.
Angel presented the magazines and scrolls related to the soul that he had read, as well as the basic training methods of the soul system, and placed them in the library through the illusion.
"How long has Little Sam been in there?" Angel asked softly.
Floyd: "Since Sam found the library two days ago, he has stayed in it and never came out."
After Floyd finished speaking, his face was puzzled: "Why do you put books related to souls there?"
"It's for him to see." Angel looked at the figure reflected by the light in the opposite window.
"Since it was for Little Sam, why didn't he tell him about the library at the beginning, but let him find the library when he wandered around?" Floyd still didn't understand.
"The benefits of subjective initiative and passive acceptance are completely different." Angle paused: "Also, this is about an apprenticeship test."
"Apprenticeship test?"
"Nice was interested in accepting Little Sam as an apprentice. Before Little Sam actually entered the Savage Cave, he asked me to prepare this test." Angel explained.
Floyd also understood at this time that the so-called apprenticeship test was actually a trial similar to a guide for a gifted person.
The illusion of "Dead by Day Nightmare Orphanage" currently operated by Floyd can also be regarded as such a trial.
However, although I understand, I still can't understand: "I remember that Mr. Nice should not be academy, right?"
Since they are not academic wizards, why should the apprenticeship test be reading books
"Do you think the apprenticeship test is just a simple reading of books?" Angel chuckled: "The test has not officially started yet, and reading books is only a prerequisite for the entire test, and it is also a necessary condition."
"And what's the real test?"
As soon as Floyd finished his question, and before Angel got a response, he saw that the candlelight in the library opposite was dimmed. After little Sam stayed in the library for two days and two nights, he finally walked out.
Seeing Little Sam leave the library, a halo flashed in Angel's eyes. At the same time, all the book illusions he built in the library disappeared and returned to their dilapidated appearance.
"Testing will begin soon."
After Angel whispered, without waiting for Floyd to ask, the conversation changed: "How is the progress on your side?"
Floyd: "I already understand how to learn the tricks of the soul, and I have basically met the training conditions, so I can practice for the first time."
Angel: "I remember that for formal learning of soul tricks, you need to choose a place where you are dead?"
Floyd nodded: "Yes, the death energy of the orphanage should meet the needs of learning the tricks of the soul."
"Satisfaction can be satisfied, but don't forget, you still have Yada and Shani after you study. Moreover, if there is no death in the orphanage, the 'Dead by Daylight' trial left here will not be the best. Effect."
"What do you mean, sir?"
"Change a place. I happen to know a place that fits the practice environment of soul tricks." Angel paused and said softly: "Also, it is also the test place for Little Sam."
Speaking of this, Angel looked away from the opposite floor, looking at the dark sky in the distance, and the rolling mountains at the end of the sky.
"Star Lake Castle."
…
Little Sam stood by the rippling blue lake, looking at the mottled castle in the distant light with emotion on his expression.
In less than a week, he actually returned to Star Lake Castle.
When little Sam was stunned, a cold little hand touched his wrist: "Brother Sam, I heard Master Thyssen say, is this your family's land?"
"It was just before, now it's abandoned." Little Sam took Yada's hand.
"Our orphanage is also abandoned." Yada didn't care about abandonment at all, and even looked at the towering castle in the distance with a longing: "Brother Sam, can I live in a big room later?"
Little Sam hesitantly looked at Angel on the other side.
Angel: "This is your site, you come to arrange the accommodation for Yada and Shanni."
Little Sam nodded, responded to Yada, and then looked at the girl in red next to Yada, who gave him a cold look, and a chill poured out of his heart.
Little Sam quickly turned his head, not daring to look any further.
This girl named Sunny... so scary.
Little Sam didn't dare to stare at Shanni any longer. He walked in front with his head sullen, and took everyone to the Star Lake Castle, where Yada and Shanni were both arranged in a high room where they could see the waves on the lake.
After arranging Yada and Shani, Little Sam looked at Angel and Floyd.
"You don't need to arrange our room. This time, I came here to help Floyd to practice. We will find the best place to practice around, and we will not live in the castle." Angel paused: " If you are, just stay in the castle for a few days and take care of Yada and Shanni."
Floyd also added with a smile: "To be precise, take care of Yada. Shanny will fall asleep these days, you don't have to worry about him."
Shanni is at the peak of her death, and her character is violent and impulsive. In reality, it is very likely that she will lose control. It is better to stay in the wilderness of dreams for a while.
Little Sam nodded and replied, "Okay."
"Then let's go first, you pay attention to safety. If you encounter danger, remember not to be reckless, think more about solutions." Angel patted Xiao Sam's shoulder meaningfully, and then skipped Xiao plug Mu, and Floyd left Star Lake Castle and disappeared into the forest.
Little Sam was a little suspicious, and murmured in a low voice, "In danger? What danger?"
Yada, who was following little Sam, said casually, "You're talking about a thief, right? I heard the young master say that there are very valuable Tibetan paintings in this castle, which will always be coveted by thieves, and people will break in from time to time."
"Is it really a thief?" Little Sam vaguely felt that something was wrong, and Angel's last eyes seemed to reveal some bad information.
"Whether it's a thief or a beast, it doesn't matter." Yada patted his chest: "Although I'm not as good as Shanny, I can still deal with them. Don't worry, I'll protect Brother Sam when I'm here. "
Little Sam still had some doubts in his heart, but when he saw Adana's cute and soft appearance, his attention was diverted.
Little Sam smiled and patted Yada's head: "You can stay here with peace of mind. There are some organs in the castle. I'll fix them later. There are thieves and beasts breaking in, and it should be enough to deal with them by organs."
…
Angel and Floyd stood on the hill behind the lake.
Floyd looked at the Star Lake Castle in the distance and said in a low voice, "Because there used to be a lot of undead entrenched here, there is indeed a strong sense of death here, and it is a suitable place to practice soul tricks. However, I don't feel the adults. Speaking of the spider undead, although the dead aura here is strong, it is exceptionally clean."
"Could it be that the spider undead I saw in the little Sam's talent test was just a delusion? She's not here, maybe not even there."
Angel said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if it doesn't exist."
"But, didn't your lord say that the wizard of Nice wants to test Little Sam through the spider undead?"
Nice and Sanders are close friends, which means they share similarities in values. Sanders tested the talents, and directly created a nine-chamber bloodbath, killing countless people; as Sanders' close friend, how could Nice's apprenticeship test be an easy read
Nice's apprenticeship test is to let little Sam touch the spider undead, and even... kill it.
It sounds difficult, but it is.
Even if Frod still has a physical body, if he really wants to face the undead, he can't tell who is running away; as for the confrontation with the special undead, Frod will undoubtedly lose.
However, although Floyd can't, little Sam is possible.
According to Little Sam's own account, the undead in the body of a human-headed spider was his kinsman, Mrs. Shira.
Because of the kinship, Mrs. Shira will have a stronger desire to kill against Little Sam; but at the same time, Little Sam is not without the chance to fight back.
And this opportunity is his blood.
The blood relationship has a wonderful connection. Mrs. Shira can use her blood to ignite the murderous heart to Xiao Sam, and Xiao Sam can also use her own blood to cause severe damage to Mrs. Shira that is difficult for even an extraordinary person to inflict. It might even wipe out Mrs. Shira completely.
And because only Little Sam had such a chance to fight back, Nice took it all into account and formulated such a special apprenticeship test for Little Sam.
Before letting Little Sam read the book, it was also through the records in the book that Little Sam knew how to solve the spider undead.
When the time comes when he really encounters the spider undead, he can make little Sam turn his knowledge into a sharp sword in his hand.
Of course, anything can be flawed.
If Little Sam didn't find the library, if he didn't see a solution to the spider undead, then he naturally couldn't deal with Mrs. Shira.
Even if he saw a solution to the undead spider, little Sam might not have the courage or wisdom to kill the undead.
Therefore, it still requires little Sam's own efforts and a little luck.
Of course, it was impossible for Nice to really let a genius like Little Sam die. He asked Angel to save Little Sam when he was on the verge of death.
But if Angel was really used to rescue, little Sam's test score would plummet.
Angel said lightly: "This is just a test that Nice has drawn up based on the current situation. If the spider undead really appears, the test will continue; if the spider undead does not appear, then what to do, wait until back Savage cave, Nice will naturally re-tailor a new test for Little Sam."
"So it is." Floyd: "The difficulty of this kind of test is simply appalling."
Floyd's eyes showed a touch of pity: "I still hope that little Sam will not encounter the undead spider. He is still a mortal. Even if he really knows the way to kill the undead, it may not be useful."
For example, the spider undead did not give Little Sam any time to prepare at all, and attacked him directly. Even if there was a better way, Little Sam would not be able to use it.
However, this situation is relatively rare. When dealing with ordinary people, the undead of the spiders may kill them face to face; but when dealing with blood relatives, her resentment will reach the highest point, and it is estimated that she will use the methods of cannibalization and torture, which gives Xiaosai A huge time buffer.
Angel glanced at Frode in surprise: "You are also considering that Little Sam will be in danger at this time... Sure enough, although the body of the near-spirit is still invisible, it has already begun to affect the undead. "
Both Floyd and Yada seemed to care about little Sam.
The only exception is Shane. However, Shanni was only indifferent on the surface, but it was hard to say what she thought in her heart.
Frode was stunned for a moment. If someone else said this, Frode would definitely refute it; but Angel, as his master, naturally could not aimlessly.
Floyd recalled his recent emotions. Indeed, he had an unusual attention to Little Sam, and began to get close to him subtly.
At first, he thought that Little Sam was brought back by Angel, and it was okay to be close; but when he recalled Dulu who was brought by Angel, he definitely didn't feel that way.
Is this the power of a near-spiritual body
Floyd was shocked, and fear flashed in his eyes.
Angel smiled: "You don't have to look like a big enemy. When you don't know, your subconscious will control your intimacy; when you really realize it, you will naturally become clear and clear, and you will not be affected by closeness. The influence of the spirit body."
Having said that, Floyd was still a little apprehensive.
Angel shook his head and changed the conversation: "Now it's time to talk about you, which kind of soul trick do you plan to start with?"
Soul tricks contain a lot of content, from technical, to defensive, to offensive, all-encompassing.
That's why Angel asked such a question.
Frode pondered for a moment: "My original plan was to first practice the Death Qi, which is the most direct way I can influence the material world. However, since there may be spider undead here, I plan to take a look."
The reason why Floyd said this is because the first learner of soul tricks has a great disadvantage, and it is very likely to be affected by death and degenerate, and someone must be escorted; but there is also a huge advantage.
The first kind of soul trick, which is boosted by death energy, can be accomplished in a very short period of time.
And if you want to learn the second kind of soul trick, the time will be very long, and you will learn it by water grinding. Most of the undead outside only have one kind of soul trick, and therefore, those who can use multiple tricks are basically old ghosts.
Because of this mechanism, the initial selection is very important.
What Floyd wanted was to maximize himself.
Death gas is a consideration in the past. But now, a special undead is suspected to be nearby, but he has a new idea.
