When the firewall maintained by four mages advanced near the village, the invigilator of the second level had already greeted the group of somewhat embarrassed candidates at the entrance of the village.

The robe embroidered with the six-winged holy light emblem made the nervous candidates breathe a sigh of relief. They were the priests of the Church of Light. With this figure here, it means that they can finally take a breath.

"Are these all the candidates?" The priest Pa'an glanced at him. There were only sixty people, and nearly two hundred people passed the preliminary examination. He only passed so many of them in the first level. This exam is really worrying.

"There are a group behind...there are still a group..." Dalid was breathing violently, and the magic overdraft made him unable to stand firmly. A priest hurriedly used the magic sanitation technique on him.

Accompanied by the soft white light in the palm of his palm, the trainee mage felt that his body was wrapped in a strange warmth, and the fatigue of his muscles quickly dissipated.

"Stay for a while and go back and pick up the rest." Sarach walked to Dalid, with unstoppable concern on his face.

The mage just nodded and did not answer.

He didn't like this young man very much. His previous speech showed a noble style and did not take ordinary people seriously. Thinking of the blonde young man who was voluntarily left behind, Dalid knew it. Most of them were the great nobles from which country, and they didn't enjoy a good and luxurious life. They came to play such a game that would cause death. They were so full.

"Oh~ Isn't this Vina?" A teasing voice sounded behind him. Vina turned slightly and saw the neighbor who had passed by sitting outside the old wooden house, looking at him with a slutty look on his face.

"Why are you willing to come back?" Cook had a public face, and his honest smile was difficult to associate him with the robbers. But this middle-aged man with a simple appearance robbed and killed many passing travelers or travelers with his wife.

Looking at Cook's yellow teeth, Vina suddenly thought of a good plan to kill someone with a knife.

"Cook, do you want to make a small amount of money?"

"Let's listen." Because of the spider monster, Cook hasn't met a passerby for more than ten days, and is a little moved by Vina's proposal.

"You also know that I don't want to live in such a small deserted village for the rest of my life. So... I want to ask you to help kill someone."

"Hehe..." Cook sneered twice, just 'help' he didn't do it. Moreover, Davao Village was selected as the second location for the Adventurer exam. He killed people in this special period, and he was not broken.

"Don't worry about being held accountable. As long as you conceal it properly, no one will doubt you. There is never a shortage of people who are defeated and killed in the adventurer exam." Vina handed over all the few gold coins left on her body to Cook: "This is a deposit..."

I don't expect him to kill Victor, but at least, he can create convenience for his own strategy. It's worthwhile to achieve his goal by spending only a few gold coins.

Cook weighed the purse in his hand, loosened the string that tied the seal and looked in. Seeing the dazzling golden color, he lowered his voice: "You want to kill an ordinary character with such a big deal, right?"

"A mage."

"Master!"

"Shh...you're quiet." Worried that others would hear it, Vina looked around, but fortunately, the other candidates were busy regaining their strength, and no one noticed her conversation with Cook at all.

He handed out the last bit of magic sealing potion obtained from Emma, ​​and Vina told Cook: "Let me find a way to let him drink this thing. A mage without magic is weaker than an ordinary person, so you can roll it round and pinch it flat."

"Okay, who should I kill?" After thinking about it, Cook felt that this was a good deal. Since he was a mage, he must have some expensive magic props on his body. He would just take one to sell it in the town, and there would definitely be dozens of gold coins.

"Look at this guy's face..." Vina took out a scroll with a bust of a young man on it.

"I'm looking good. Could it be that I want to throw him away...stop it?" Cook's half-joking words attracted Vina's stare fiercely.

"Don't worry about so much, you just need to kill him." Because of his lack of long life, she decided not to worry about it.

※※※※※※※※※※※※

Time passed little by little, and as the sky was getting darker, the candidates left behind began to feel a little panicked.

Didn’t you say there is a small village nearby? Why don’t you go back? Do you really don’t want to care about the remaining people?

The seeds of distrust and panic sprouted quickly, the crowd began to stir up, regretting their choice to stay, and the low complaint gradually evolved into loud curses.

The blonde young man shook his head helplessly in the face of complaints around him and turned to the silent Victor: "My name is Perel, where are you, Mr. Mage?"

[Victor.]

The lich was not keen on talking. Apart from looking at the east side of Davao Village from time to time, all his energy was placed on the spider monster's nest.

As the only magician left behind, Victor used firewall technique to surround the remaining candidates. Because he could not get close, the attack of the sword spider gradually weakened, and the spider silk and magic were also limited.

"From your hair color, it seems that you are not from your own country." Black hair is a typical northern race, and only the descendants of Hokuriku and Hydein can have this color.

Victor just nodded to answer Perel's guess.

Wood himself hates his life experience very much and does not like others to discuss it. As a substitute, he certainly cannot be too outrageous.

Although he had no expression on his face, Victor cared about the young man who claimed to be Perel. Like Fisher, this man also had an unconcealed elegance, which was more obvious and more noble.

The more you look at it, the more familiar the lich becomes. This does not come from the puppet corpse, but itself. It has been eighty years since it left the main material realm, and what should be cut off and what should be clear have passed with time. Why...

Suddenly, Victor suddenly remembered something. His rigid expression also changed, from indifference to distortion. The contrast was so great that Perel, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but ask.

"Is the magic power exhausted?"

[No. No. Nothing.] It remembers the past buried deep in memory, the painful, cursed past lives day and night, and the abandoned, degenerate, and forgotten life experience.

The sword spiders who did not want their prey to escape finally launched a general attack. They ignored the fire wall that was as high as the human, and tried to pass through the spell by jumping.

Putting the staff in the soft grass under his feet, Victor closed his hands together, and when he separated, he pulled out blue lightning. When he turned his hands to more than a dozen sword spiders that had jumped over the fire wall, a grid suddenly appeared in the air, and pearl-like lightning flashed back and forth among the spider monsters, and the burnt smell immediately filled everyone's mouths and noses.

Thunder system advanced...

Perel glanced at Victor's badge, and just as he was about to say something, Kemer, who had never moved away from the path leading to Davao Village, shouted excitedly.

"Here I'm back!"

This sound caused the noisy complaint to stop, and everyone looked forward to it, and indeed saw several figures.

"It seems that there are a few more..." There are only four mages in total, but there are as many as nine people coming back. Perel tightly holds the dragon head staff in his hand and is ready just in case.

Soon, the appearance of these people came into the eyes of the left-behind candidates. It was indeed the wizard who escorted the first person to leave. The five extras were wearing white robes, and the emblem on their chests cheered everyone up.

Except for one person.

Contrary to the joy of others, Victor did not want to see the appearance of the Church of Light. As the undead, its greatest enemy is the follower of Mara, the god of life and light.

Eric and Buffy easily crossed the spider monster's nest and came to the cheering candidates.

“Good done.”

Buffy gave praise without hesitation. Even if he couldn't hear their conversation, he could already tell whose achievements were based on his body language.

Discovering that one of the five priests was a priest, Victorton felt a surge in pressure, and their appearance not only broke their plans, but also added additional danger. Buffy's admiring eyes, if as it expected, attracted the attention of the priest Pa'an.

This mage...

After taking a look at Victor's outfit, a look of surprise appeared on Pa'an's solemn face.

Advanced mage?

Although it was very light, he did have the aura of a dead person on his body. If I guessed correctly, this guy's purpose should not be the witness of the adventurer, but to experiment with his new spells during the exam. Damn evil mage, the fallen man who betrays the soul!

Tolerating the unhappiness in his heart, Pa'an showed his identity and successfully completed the handover with Ba Fei.

"What do you think of that person?" His eyes pointed directly at Victor, and the priest asked the examiner in the first level.

"It's very good. Even as a tongueless person, he still has no damage to his talent. I am not proficient in spells, and my specific strength needs to be seen clearly at your level." Buffy changed his previous view of Victor. Although the Noine Empire never chose a tongueless person, other kingdoms may not give up such excellent talents. For example, Taran should not let him lose to other countries.

Pa'ammo didn't say anything. The more Buffy praised Victor for his excellence, the tighter his brows frowned.

The four priests who accompanied him stood in a row, singing prayers in a suffocating manner. The magic of calming the spirit quickly sootheed the sword spiders, allowing them to go from hunting to deep sleep.

"Come with me, the second level is in the Davao Mining Train, where you will show your survivability, and the losers will lose their qualifications to participate for two sessions." The priest's voice was like Eric's bald head, with a unique attraction. Under his leadership, the remaining candidates set off again and prepare to take the test of the second level.

"Do you really think the first level is physical fitness?" Perel whispered: "Why do I feel like a team-based test..."

[Maybe, the invigilator didn't say it clearly anyway.] After writing this passage, Victor and Perel set a distance. It was not used to being close to people, which was exactly the same as Wood.
Chapter completed!
