Oh my God, Julian, you're finally here, I thought you were going to give up on this selection.It was a woman who was dressed in an extremely flamboyant style, she was only nineteen years old, she had the strength of a knight's squire, and she was the first person in the side family to make overtures to Julian.Abandon?
That's not my style.Julian chuckled and greeted the woman: "But I heard Julia, you seem to have slept with one of Cory's guards?"
So angry that he almost hit the door?
Julia blocked the smile from the corner of her lips with a fan and winked slyly: Oh Julian, don't exaggerate, I'm going to misunderstand that you're jealous, you know, I'd be happy to date you if you want.Julian was suddenly defeated, and waved his hand again and again: Forget it, I think Julia you are a good person.Julia: MMP!
She rolled her eyes beautifully: Okay, don't tease, that guy from Corey is an idiot, I just saw that his guards looked good, so I hooked up a little, who would have thought that guy was like a bull in heat, and he pounced directly Cory passed by that day, but she spread her hands and signaled that she didn't want to.Julian smiled on his face, but he was vigilant in his heart, don't look at this Julia seems to be arrogant and uninhibited, but she has no less eyes at all, and she uses her advantages as a woman to sow discord in front of him.Of course, she used a clever method, and if Julian wasn't a naïve sixteen-year-old, she might have been fooled.After a brief exchange of pleasantries with Julia, two more young men approached.There are three of them, a man and a woman, who are optimistic about Julian's side family, and once it is time to get serious, it is difficult to say what will happen to these three people.At least Julian didn't dare to expose his back to these three people easily.Julian held his wine glass and chatted with the three people in front of him about some boring topics, but his eyes swept over the crowd around him, the whole hall was like a microcosm of a small society, those who were stronger would have more supporters and followers, but it was still the same sentence, when it came to the real start, the exchange of friends and enemies was only a matter of the blink of an eye.Soon, Old Harder appeared, and as soon as he appeared, the whole hall was silent, and everyone knew that Old Harder was the most loyal guard of the old duke, and his appearance here could only represent the will of the old duke.Old Harder looked around quietly, and the eyes of all the prospective heirs in the hall were focused on him.He nodded with satisfaction, these people were all young talents of the Redcliffe family, and no matter who among them inherited the title of duke, they all hoped to lead the family to glory again.Of course, if possible, he would prefer to win Julian and Kozmo, after all, only these two are the direct blood of the old duke.Old Harder cleared his throat and immediately attracted everyone's attention.He smiled slightly, and said in a loud voice: I am not used to talking nonsense, and in accordance with the will of the duke, I will announce the selection method of the duke's heir here.He saw that everyone was staring at him with burning eyes, his eyes were full of desire and ambition, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he sighed in his heart, it is good to be young, looking at this group of young people full of ambition and vitality, even he seems to be several years younger.Immediately, his eyes paused slightly, and he glared at Julian with a look of hatred, you look at people, one by one, they all want to put their chests on other people's faces, why are you the only one with an indifferent smile?
Can you still pursue it a little!
Glared at by Old Harder's sharp gaze, Julian smiled wryly, and made a serious look with a straight face.Old Harder was quite helpless, and turned his head to look at everyone: You should all know that the Radcliffe family started with military exploits back then, and the old duke himself was also a great military achievement, and the Tiger Roar Sword, which inherited the honor of the family, was placed in a small world fragment, this small world fragment was inadvertently obtained by the old duke back then, and the area was only about a kilometer in radius, but his magic was that it was naturally divided into a huge labyrinth.The old duke has carefully prepared and set up a lot of traps and magical beasts in the labyrinth, so speaking of this, he paused and his tone became serious: You will all have a scroll on your body that is separated from the fragments of the small world, and if you encounter an irresistible danger, you can tear the scroll apart at any time and leave there.Of course, once you shred the scroll, it would be equivalent to giving up this selection, so you must be cautious.The Tiger Roar Sword is placed in the depths of the labyrinth, and whoever can get the Tiger Roar Sword will be the next Duke of Radcliffe.After Old Harder finished speaking, regardless of the reactions of these people, he directly ordered the servants to send the escape scrolls one by one to the people who were about to enter the labyrinth, and after confirming that everyone had obtained the scrolls and the scrolls in their hands were unscathed, he led everyone to the backyard of the Duke's Palace.At this time, a lot of people had gathered in the backyard, and those young people couldn't help but exclaim after seeing these people.The presiding priest and the great knights of the Church of the Holy Light, the representatives of the minor nobles and the great nobles, almost all the supporters of the heirs were invited here, and it was clear that they were going to wait here for the final result.Julian saw Owen, his eyes lit up slightly, and he threw a wink at him very covertly.The other party's expressionless face but red ears made Julian look cute, if it weren't for the inappropriate environment, he really wanted to cough cough, he wanted to replenish his kidneys!
Owen's diary: The notice of the Duke's Palace caught me off guard, the priest of Wallanie only released the magic to the old duke yesterday, it stands to reason that he should be able to hold on for about half a month, how could he start the selection so suddenly?
Forget it, anyway, the church has lagged behind those nobles in this matter, although the officiant of Wallanie has attracted another candidate, it is not difficult to see from her expression that it is purely for pretense, obviously, she is not optimistic about that person either.I considered whether to pull Julian on the ship of the church, but then I gave up, his identity to join the church is too dangerous, once exposed, it will be absolutely lifeless.This little bastard!
Teasing me in front of so many people!
Fortunately, what he did was quite hidden, if I hadn't been paying attention to him, maybe I wouldn't have noticed it, etc., is there something wrong with that paragraph just now?
Forget it, I'll have to find a way to remind him later, this time the matter of the title is very deep, his little arms and legs should stay away, wait until he enters the labyrinth, and once he encounters danger, he will immediately tear up the scroll, as long as the person lives, there will always be a title or something!
Well, if he came out earlier, maybe I could go to him and talk about the life mutation The backyard of the Duke's Mansion is the old duke's martial arts training ground, but now this place has been leveled and reinforced, and a huge door frame has been temporarily built, and a middle-aged woman in a blue robe is quietly waiting next to the door frame, which makes many people look sideways.Tsk, the domestic magician, a little nobleman said sourly.People can afford to raise it, and if you don't accept it, you can raise it, although there are not many people with magical talents, you can still find it if you want to find it.Another nobleman who didn't look at him sneered.The little nobleman suddenly choked, there are many people with magical talents, but there are very few who can really become magicians, why?
If you want to become a magician, talent, and opportunity are indispensable, ordinary families have no ability to support a magician, and it is not impossible if the family is bankrupt, but the problem is that even the family is gone, what is the use of a magician?
Old Harder had led all the candidates to the backyard and nodded to the middle-aged woman, who had chanted a spell and sealed her hands, and a majestic magic was channeled into the hollow doorframe.Everyone present was nervous, and the great nobles, His Majesty's envoys, and the people of the Holy Light Church all looked at the gradually forming Light Gate with shocked expressions.Small world??
A great nobleman looked at Old Harder in disbelief.What is Small World?
These are some uninformed little aristocrats.The heritage of the Duke's Mansion is really unusual, and it will have a small world?
An old man with a thin face stroked his beard, and he was quite calm about such a change.How come you've never heard of it?
When did he get Little World?
Relatively speaking, the face of the priest of Hua Lani is not very good, every small world represents countless resources, and the old duke suddenly showed up the small world at this time, which made her feel inexplicably uneasy.Then the light gate gradually stabilized, and everyone present, all who had the ability, probed their spiritual senses, and after coming into contact with the information from the light gate, except for those little nobles who had no knowledge, the others suddenly calmed down.It turned out to be only a kilometer in circumference, but it was just a fragment.A big nobleman said lightly.Everyone else also agreed, obviously, this fragmented world has limited attraction to them, at least it is not worth turning the other cheek for such a fragmented world and the Duke's Palace.After everyone entered the light gate in turn, old Harder silently said: Good luck to you.After entering the labyrinth, Julian found himself standing in the middle of a path with both sides of the trail leading to him, he thought about it and walked straight ahead.According to Old Hard's prompt, the Tiger Roar Sword was placed in the center of the labyrinth, and only by getting the Tiger Roar Sword could this selection be completed.Although he is a Xibei goods, he has to make a show, not to mention that if there is no accident, after this selection, even if the matter is understood, he can also go to receive his own reward!
A radius of one kilometer is not a large area, but if you divide the labyrinth, it is quite amazing, Julian walked for about ten minutes, and no one touched him.Just when he was bored and even considered whether to just shred the scroll and go back, he suddenly heard a squeak from around the corner.He felt that the sound was a bit like a mouse, mixed with some gnawing sounds in the middle, he walked over cautiously, poked his head slightly, and not far from the corner, a group of small green people only up to the waist were biting a corpse!
Julian:!!!
it!
This scene was a bit too terrifying, and he almost couldn't help but burst into foul language.Julian was still inexperienced in this area, and he didn't know how sharp the green man's hearing was, but he was just breathing a little heavier and they found out.A group of little green men raised their heads in unison, their scarlet eyes staring at him.Julian: What else do you want, let's run!
He turned around and ran away without saying a word, not even thinking about fighting them.According to the memory of the original body, he could barely distinguish that those green little people were a monster called goblins, this kind of monster is very similar to humans, but it is not an intelligent creature, it is more inclined to Warcraft, the social nature makes it difficult for them to kill, when they encounter strong enemies, they will run away en masse, if the enemy is weak, they will rush up, it is a very annoying creature.Julian was a fast runner and had a lot of stamina, he didn't know if all of his training was like this, but on a desert island, Owen's training on him made his endurance quite outstanding.Goblins are not very powerful creatures, they are very weak individually, and they are all built up by numbers, Julian relied on his good physical strength, and ran all the way forward along the mark, and soon came to the place where he appeared, and then ran towards the other side of the passage.The group of goblins chased after them for a while, but when they couldn't catch up, they gave up, and Julian ran a little farther away to be safe, before stopping to rest.He rested against the wall for a moment, but his mind kept thinking about what he had just seen.He calculated the time, although it was not accurate, but at most it was ten minutes, less than fifteen minutes, but in such a short period of time, there were already candidates who died?
Isn't that an exaggeration?
Besides, a person who dares to compete for the title of duke, not to mention anything else, must at least reach a certain standard in terms of force value, but such a person actually died at the hands of a goblin not long after he came in?
No matter how you can't kill it, can't you escape?
Julian faintly felt that something was wrong, he tried his best to recall the scene he had just seen in his mind, remove those goblins, remove those bloody pictures, and focus on the clothes of the corpse, Julian opened his eyes, he remembered, the clothes on the corpse were clearly a young man named Fermi, he belonged to the side children of Radcliffe's family, only sixteen years old, touching the strength of a knight's squire, his strength at such an age can only be barely said to be okay, So he is the typical kind of person who comes to hug his thighs, and wants to have a good relationship with the future Duke in advance.Julian touched his chin, if he remembered correctly, this Fermi seemed to be a henchman named Scott, who died tragically as soon as he came in.After thinking of this person's name, Julian felt a little better, after all, the strength of the junior knight squire is the lowest among all people, if it is unlucky, as soon as he comes in, he appears in the goblin, then it is possible to be killed.It's just that I don't know why, Julian always feels as if a layer of clouds are shrouded in his body, full of ominousness.Before he could think carefully about whether he had overlooked something, a giant black bear slowly walked out of the fork in the labyrinth.Julian: The giant bear stood up to three meters tall, and the black bear's paws were about to catch up with the size of his head, and Julian could have imagined that if he was slapped in the face, his head would explode like a smashed watermelon.What else can I do?
Of course, Julian, who continued to run and was chased by the black giant bear to flee for his life, didn't know that he seemed to be unintentionally approaching the center of the labyrinth, and the various magical beasts distributed in the maze seemed to consciously drive him inside.At the same time, he didn't know that at this time, many people had died intermittently in the labyrinth, and occasionally a few lucky ones could leave alive, and the remaining ones with a little strength were driven towards the center of the maze by the demonic beasts.The situation inside the labyrinth was confusing, and there was also an uproar outside the labyrinth.Not long after Julian and the others entered the labyrinth, there was a snap, and a small puppet completely exploded and shattered into pieces.The maids who were in charge of guarding the puppets around were startled and found that the puppets were broken, and hurriedly went to find Old Harder in a panic.Panicked, the maid did not lower her voice when she informed Old Hard, and everyone present was all human spirits, and as soon as they heard the four words that the puppet had been broken, they immediately realized something.Hard, what's going on?
A big nobleman squinted his eyes and stared at Old Hard, a puppet that needed to be guarded, but was not tightly guarded, and there was only one kind of soul puppet, which was a puppet made of special materials, as long as the blood dripped inside, once the owner of the blood died, the puppet would explode.Because the puppets have been specially treated, the blood that is incorporated into them can no longer be used as a medium for casting curses, so many families will spend money on some dolls to know if their offspring are safe.Now the puppets that can be guarded by old Harder must belong to those who are in the election, and the broken puppet means that the person is gone, and the maze has just opened and there is a human life, which is different from what they said at the beginning!
Old Hard's face was very ugly, and he glanced at the big nobleman coldly: This has nothing to do with you.The great nobleman was not angry either, although Old Harder was nominally a butler, but who didn't know that he was the old duke's henchman?
At this time, the old duke was seriously ill, and the words spoken by old Harder represented the will of the old duke, even if he had to give three points.He smiled: Irrelevant?
No, if I'm not mistaken, it must be one of the candidates who caused the accident, right?
Why are we here?
It's not because we have candidates we like, and if something happens to them, we have to at least let us know, right?
As soon as he said this, everyone else around him also responded, especially those children of the family who had children inside, and they couldn't wait to pull Old Hard's neck and ask him who had happened.Seeing this, Old Harder groaned: It's okay.With that, he asked the servants to tell them that all the puppets had been moved, including the fragment that had exploded.
