"The prairie of death is really not beyond the reach of ordinary people!"
Leylin was sitting on the carriage, his body was constantly bumping along with the carriage, the small window opened, and a sliver of yellow sunlight shone in, bringing a bit of life into the carriage.
More than ten days have passed since the last attack by the scavenger-eating wolves. During these ten days, as they went deeper into the grassland, the convoy encountered more and more dangers.
It was only now that Leylin knew that the scavenging wolves were only at the bottom of the grassland food chain, and above them, there were many more cunning and ferocious predators.
Along the way, Leylin saw several groups of creatures that were no smaller than the previous pack of wolves.
In addition to the carrion wolves, there were also a group of giant black birds several meters high, and even a huge monster more than ten meters long, which looked like a saber-toothed tiger, but had the same body shape as a hill. The breath alone made Leylin suffocate.
Fortunately, the death rate of the apprentices seemed to have reached the limit, and the white-robed wizards also started to take action. Not only did they deploy defensive wizard formations on the carriages, but they also directly took action to disperse the herd of beasts, thus avoiding a large number of casualties in the convoy.
The most dangerous time was the confrontation with that ten-meter-long monster.
Fortunately, the hill-like monster seemed to have wisdom, knowing that the white-robed wizards were not easy to mess with, and left after a while of confrontation without launching an attack, which made everyone in the convoy heave a sigh of relief.
"It's time!" Leylin took out his pocket watch, looked at the pointer, it was already pointing to around three o'clock in the afternoon.
Standing up and opening the front door of the carriage, a moist breeze blew by, which seemed to have a salty smell, and it smelled very fresh. Leylin couldn't help but took a few deep breaths before sitting next to Angre.
"Good afternoon! Master Angre!"
"Good afternoon! A polite noble gentleman!" Angre handed the whip and reins to Leylin without looking back, "It's just right, I want to rest!"
Leylin smiled, took the whip, and skillfully drove the carriage.
Angre leaned aside and untied a kettle from his waist. After opening it, a strong smell of alcohol came out. He lowered his head and took a sip, narrowing his eyes comfortably.
"We will arrive at our destination soon, and for the sake of the carriage you have driven me for a month, I can answer two questions for you!"
When Leylin was watching the scenery on both sides, he heard Angre's voice.
"Okay!" Leylin smiled. He deliberately established a good relationship with Angre, and he also had this in mind.
"So, first question, what is there at the destination?"
"Temporary tents of some colleges, where you will be able to freely choose colleges to join based on your own interests, and conduct a more accurate qualification test!"
Angre replied, with a look of impatience on his face, "The wizards and adults will explain these things when they arrive at the destination, don't waste this opportunity!"
"A precise aptitude test?" Leylin was stunned for a moment, and then recalled that he was only identified as having the aptitude of a wizard, and then he was sent to the carriage by the viscount. As for his aptitude, he didn't know anything about it.
"The academy's temporary tent? It looks like the school admissions in my previous world, but I don't know what conditions are required?" Leylin thought silently.
"Okay! The second question! In your mind, what kind of wizard is it?"
Leylin asked the second question.
"Wizards? They hold powerful power, pursue the truth, and use equal exchange as the principle. Boy, don't imagine that you can get benefits from wizards for free, otherwise, the flame of desire will burst out from the abyss and punish your soul! "
Angre's face twitched, as if he had thought of something bad, and his voice became extremely low.
"Pursue the truth, exchange at equal value? I like it!" Leylin smiled.
After answering, Angre seemed to have lost the interest in speaking. He took two sips of spirits, lowered his head and closed his eyes. Ten minutes later, he heard the sound of snoring.
Leylin looked at the scenery in front of him boredly. Although the grassland scenery was beautiful, after watching it for a month, he already felt nauseous.
"This is… "
As the carriage continued to move forward, the green in the distance became less and less, replaced by a vast blue, and there were gusts of wind.
"Finally here, the coast of death!"
Angre, who was sleeping, opened his eyes and looked at Leylin, "We've arrived at our destination!"
As the sea got closer, a market-like place appeared at the end of Leylin's line of sight.
There were many tall and short tents, some of which were of strange shapes, forming a large camp. There were dozens of carriages in the same style as the ones Leylin was driving now.
And most of them were the same as them, thirteen or fourteen-year-old apprentices with curious expressions on their faces. Leylin roughly counted and knew that there were at least several hundred people, which filled the camp. Walking in and out, with different expressions on their faces.
"Okay! Ladies! Gentlemen! Welcome to the middle station of the journey, the coast of death! Here you will decide the future academy, and follow your teacher back to your respective schools for wizard training!"
The carriage team stopped, and three white robes came out to gather the apprentices together, the leader of the crow said.
"Now, you follow me into the camp, choose a college, remember! You can check multiple colleges, but once you sign the contract, you can't go back on it! Anyone who violates it will be hanged outside the camp gate!"
The crow's voice was cold, and the words he said made the apprentices feel even more chilled.
"Haha! Crow! You guys are a bit late today!" A voice rang out, and a fat man walked out of the camp, also wearing a white robe, saying hello: "Don't scare the lovely new bloods!"
"I encountered a little trouble on the road!" Crow explained.
"Okay! New bloods! Come into the camp with me now!" Fatty and Crow talked for a while, then turned around and shouted to Leylin and the others.
"You can call me Jialong, from the beautiful Nine Ring White Tower, believe me, if you want to choose an academy, the Nine Ring White Tower is definitely the best choice!"
Jialong said while leading the apprentices into the camp.
As soon as he entered the camp, various sounds came to his ears, making Leylin almost think that he had returned to the vegetable market in his previous life, and the three white robes seemed to have something to do, and quickly left the team.
The surroundings were bustling, most of them were wizard apprentices like them, some formed a circle, and some kept coming in and out of the tent.
Jialong led Leylin and his group, about forty in total, to the center of the camp.
There is a big pure white tent with strange patterns on the outside, which looks like both decoration and text.
Leylin couldn't help but looked carefully, "Chip! Scan!"
"Drip! Form an image!" The chip fed back information, but in the stereoscopic image, there was nothing on the white tent, as if there had never been any patterns.
"How come?" Leylin stared at the tent again in disbelief.
As time passed, the pattern on the tent seemed to come alive, twisting and turning.
"Hee hee!" "Haha!" "Hawk!"
Various voices came from Leylin's ears. The surrounding light seemed to be distorted. Leylin looked at his hand. At this time, the palm seemed to be stretched a lot, making it extremely slender.
"Leylin! Leylin! What's wrong with you?" At this moment, Leylin was patted on the shoulder suddenly.
Suddenly, Leylin's whole body trembled, and he came to his senses. Looking around, the apprentices were still listening to Fatty Jialong, and everything seemed to be back to normal.
"Or, what happened just now was just a hallucination?" Leylin was startled, "Chip, recall my state just now!"
"Drip!" A light blue light curtain emerged, and the pictures from just now kept appearing in front of Leylin's eyes. "The flow rate of the main body's heart and brain vessels is abnormal. It is recommended to check immediately!"
"The main body has an abnormal state! It is recommended to stay away!"
"The main body's state has been restored!" Rows of data kept appearing, letting Leylin know that what he just did was not an illusion.
"Phew... are all wizard things so mysterious?" Leylin wiped off his cold sweat, still still having lingering fears about the experience just now.
"Leylin! You look so pale! Could it be that you are sick?" asked George who was on the side.
"No matter who it is, after what happened just now, their complexion will not be any better!" Leylin cursed inwardly, knowing that his complexion must be as dead as a dead person's now.
"No... nothing... what did Jialong say?" Leylin quickly changed the subject.
"Oh! We still need to go in and fill out the form and test our qualifications! Then there is free time, you can choose your own college!"
"Because you came late, there is still one more day. During this day, you must choose the college you want to study in, otherwise you will have to wait until next year!" Jialong was still talking loudly.
"Now, line up and come to me one by one to get the form, and then go in for the test!"
Jialong sat behind a white table, took out a stack of things like forms and handed them out.
The team moved forward quickly, and soon it was Leylin's turn.
"Fill in your information here, then enter the tent, and do what the person inside says!"
Leylin took the form and found that it was made of high-quality parchment, and there was very little information on it, just fill in a few items such as name, age, and place of birth.
Picking up the quill pen on the table, Leylin quickly filled in.
The light red ink draws complex patterns on the parchment, which looks very beautiful.
"I didn't expect that this dude's mainland script is pretty good!" After finishing writing, Leylin picked up the parchment and entered the white tent.
"Come here!" An old voice called out.
The tent was very empty, only an old woman with white hair was sitting behind a black chair, and there was a crystal ball on the table.
"Okay! Why did I suddenly think of a divination witch!"
"Hello!" Leylin came to the witch and saluted.
"Bring up the form!" Obviously, the witch didn't like this, her voice was as cold as ever.
"Is that Leylin? Put your hand on the crystal ball!"
