Chapter 143 Western Fantasy 08 World Intersection
Sino didn't even tell Lu Huai that he had prepared a "mysterious gift" for him.
After comforting Lu Huai, he just turned away leisurely.
The panel told him that the magical talent of the person in front of him was not strong, but after the profession was confirmed, it showed that there were a long series of strengthening tasks that needed to be carried out at the Somira Academy jointly built by the Holy See of Light and the Principality.
He, with his exceptional affinity for the element of time, would undergo a series of tests, meaning the map would remain locked there for a long period of time. If he wished to maintain such a close connection with Lu Huai, the best outcome would be for the young man to be admitted to Somira together with him.
However, obviously, Jon couldn't expect such a dream to come true.
So far, his understanding of the world is that it is strictly ordered and law prevails over emotion.
In his previous life, he was an HR professional, boasting his flexibility and the ability to adapt his words to different situations. Unexpectedly, he was completely defeated here, and none of his tricks worked.
He persevered in searching for the items on the game panel that could change his aptitude, only to find that the prices were either out of reach or that they were only available to him. A deep sense of powerlessness washed over him, and the joy he had originally felt from the surprised or envious reactions of those around him plummeted.
Looking back at Lu Huai, he seemed to have no idea what he was fiddling with out of thin air, but just watched him walk to the registration office with a smile as usual.
Only Jon was left, staring at the panel fiercely as he closed it, feeling as if he were falling into an icy cave.
This dull pain was almost comparable to the one he felt when he found himself unable to log out of the game, and it felt like needles pricking him.
He felt really bad and wanted to log out of the game to calm down and think about his next move, but the exit still showed a gray "error", which made him smile bitterly.
Jon couldn't imagine life without the other.
If this continues... Jon doesn't know if he will forget his memories of real life and won't be able to distinguish between falsehood and reality.
Lu Huai also listened to the names that passed by one by one with trepidation, thinking that he, a "spy" with demon blood, would be thoroughly observed in front of this crystal clear fluorite. Even with the dark god's verbal reassurance, it was definitely not enough to calm all his tensions.
When I am extremely anxious, I always feel that the eyes of the whole world are on me.
So naturally he didn't bother to doubt the other party's somewhat strange behavior. He and Jon looked at each other across the crowd, but each had their own thoughts.
"Detected that male supporting character No. 0359, Lu Huai, the host of the system, has reached a key plot point: 'Passed the test'. Please be sure to complete the plot."
"receive."
Just as Lu Huai heard the long-lost prompt sound from the main system, his expression was very stable and calm. He walked up to the stage from a distance, even taking care to show his slightly nervous state to ensure that he would not be out of place among the crowd.
0359 could only secretly give the host a thumbs up.
It was as nervous as ever, but Lu Huai was calm and composed. It was really a magical picture.
At this moment, the previous test-taker has just stepped down and is anxiously waiting for the results to be announced.
The Philosopher's Stone, tightly surrounded by several groups of people, obviously couldn't rest for a moment, and neither could the staff.
Such tiring work is impossible to handle without good physical strength.
When they were all queuing just now, Lu Huai joked with Jon, "I wonder how much the temple pays them a year?"
Now it was his turn.
The difficult-to-pronounce name "Huai, Lu" was pronounced by the white-robed clergyman in a serious tone. The people of Central China, who seldom heard names of this structure, turned their heads curiously, and the person whose name was called also raised his head, nodded to indicate his identity, and then stuck half of his body out from the crowd.
The candidate next to him was also afraid of leaving a bad impression of disrupting order, so he quickly made way.
Lu Huai thought about what Seno had told him: "The more you shrink and become more withdrawn, the more likely you are to attract attention."
He accepted these looks well and walked forward, under the attention of other participants, to the Philosopher's Stone.
"Attention, Candidate No. 1081. The test will last approximately five minutes. Your specific response will be based on your elemental affinity. Please close your eyes, relax, and sense the various elements from heaven and earth."
"Please touch the groove with the palm of your right hand and hold it there."
"Please note that to ensure accurate results, you must not open your eyes during the entire process."
"Are you ready?"
Lu Huai didn't know whether the examiner in front of him used the magic of focusing his attention, but he felt that even in such a noisy environment, these mechanically repeated words were unusually pleasant to the ear.
"Yeah," he nodded obediently, pressing his hand on the cool fluorite, feeling the heat gradually rising from the contact surface, closing his eyes and replying, "I'm ready."
Darkness always makes people lose a sense of control, because the known in front of them becomes unknown, and you need to use other perceptions to fill this gap.
When you can't see anything, all your senses will be magnified doubly, and Lu Huai's feeling at this moment is particularly prominent.
He felt that the noise around him suddenly became very far away, and there was only an indescribable deep tranquility, as if the only people left in the world were him and the huge rock in front of him, which had become colorful without him knowing when.
Those colors were flowing and dazzling. Lu Huai was amazed and guessed that these should be different elements.
Through this communication, they are looking for the right owner.
But the colors only touched him for a moment, and they no longer rushed towards him as before, but instead observed and pondered cautiously.
And obviously he is not a suitable candidate.
Lu Huai could only watch in disappointment because only a small number of people were willing to surround him.
He didn't know why it felt like a year even though it was only five short minutes.
"Alas...it seems I still have no fate with magic..."
Disappointment lingered in his heart. Even though he was unwilling, it seemed that this was the only way.
Just like the overwhelming wave of light elements that came as soon as Jon arrived, almost declaring ownership to everyone, it had nothing to do with him.
Just as the hourglass slowly began to drain, nearing the turning point of a new chapter, Lu Huai was ready to open his eyes and reconcile with his mediocrity. Suddenly, as if receiving some strange inspiration, the silvery-white element also quickly took hold and rushed forward.
Lu Huai didn't know what was happening either. He could only feel the surge of power in astonishment. At that moment, he felt that almost all of his senses were completely different from before. He could even hear the sound of insects flapping wings in detail. There was something that he could control at will.
"The test is over. You can part with the Philosopher's Stone now."
The belief in the God of Light had long been ingrained throughout this continent, let alone in Sari, a continent so close to the Royal City and boasting its own independent testing center. All proceedings were conducted in public view, leaving no room for favoritism or fraud.
The number of places is very limited, and most people will basically not be hired by the Holy See of Light.
However, individuals with other magical talents will be reported to various magic academies. Compared with relying on self-recommendation or auditions, this is obviously a much easier path, so people are willing to give it a try.
In short: Leaning against the big tree of the Holy See of Light is like getting a pass in the kingdom.
Others may look at someone with a sidelong glance because of their outstanding appearance, but people with loyal beliefs will not change their decision after a moment of dazzle.
After seeing Lu Huai's mediocre performance, the examiner was actually ready to eliminate him. However, when he recalled the shocking performance at the end, he stopped writing.
Jon's eyes gradually brightened from his dejected look, thinking that according to the final brightness, his friend was very talented, so no matter what, his grades wouldn't be bad.
But it seemed too early to be happy. The magic stone recorded the average element absorption, so Lu Huai's score was stuck between being selected and not being selected, which was extremely dangerous.
So, Lu Huai saw that he was not eliminated decisively, but a red circle was drawn to indicate that it was pending.
But this was completely different from the hopelessness at the beginning.
He had many doubts, and these...
Lu Huai gently stroked the hidden totem on his wrist, silent.
The status of those on hold is not as clear as that of "admitted" and "not admitted".
The former had already lined up with great expectations, while the latter had eaten and drunk and left the scene. Lu Huai stood at a loss at the edge of the stage, and only thought about looking for Jon after the strange feeling completely dissipated.
One person dominates everything, and it’s still the same old operation. 0359 has been blocked for a long time.
It’s just that the blond elf was obviously handsome and cheerful, and didn’t seem like someone who would shrink in unfamiliar situations.
But for some reason, he seemed to be disliked by his new companions. He sat alone on the stone bench in the corner, kicking the pebbles in the corner in a daze.
A few people were sitting nearby chatting, and there was a long distance between Jon and them.
Little did they know that the eyes around them, which should have lost interest after a brief moment of curiosity, now seemed to be fixed on the figure walking towards them, tacitly.
No other reason...it's really too rare.
She has a disliked household registration, doesn't look like she's of any special race, yet is born to be so beautiful that it's almost dazzling.
People who originally looked down upon and wanted to spit on the "country bumpkins" and "wild chickens" who came to grab the quota now dare not curse them out loud, as they feel that it is a kind of desecration to this person.
But at this moment, a push came, and several people reluctantly looked away, looked at each other, and gave up their seats to the person in the center.
That bright and flamboyant crimson color broke into Lu Huai's world, and it was obvious at first glance that she was the leader of these selected noble children.
This person was not sure what he was thinking, as he blocked his way to Jon.
He curled his lips and smiled wantonly: "Hey, is your name, Huai, Lu; or Lu Huai?"
In this world, it is rare to be called by one's name correctly. Lu Huai instinctively responded with "hmm", only to realize that the other party seemed to be impolite in both his posture and words.
Thinking that there was a huge barrier between this group of people and Jon, Lu Huai also recalled the discordant ridicule coming from the crowd next to him when his friend was taking the test.
His impression of the other party was even worse, so Lu Huai said with his remaining politeness: "Sorry, I want to find my friend, please make way."
One stone can cause a thousand waves.
"What friends are you looking for? Didn't you see us..."
Hearing these words, the person next to him seemed very dissatisfied with his words, and looked like he was about to hit someone, but there was an inexplicable sense of restraint, a sense of being fierce on the outside but weak on the inside.
Lu Huai's toughness was not without reason. Before he came on stage, a certain god said that he would stay with him all day, and if things really didn't work out, he would lend him some energy for a short time.
Although Seno is a time bomb, this heavy weight can at least serve as a bargaining chip for him to clear other obstacles.
I don’t know if it’s because demons are born with deep thoughts, but Lu Huai felt that he was really unfamiliar with the fact that he would think of using gods.
But he instinctively closed his eyes at this moment and did not feel the pain.
His eyelashes trembled slightly, and Lu Huai opened his eyes, and saw that it was the red-haired young man who signaled the familiar people around him not to move.
He felt conflicted, but he wasn't grateful to the other party for this. After all, all these troubles were caused by the inexplicable obstruction.
Jon also noticed the situation over there, and pushed aside a thin man with purple hair who squeezed in and stood next to Lu Huai in a protective position.
He said warily, “What are you doing?”
"Aren't you looking down on us country bumpkins? Why bother touching my friend when you can just keep your distance?"
"Don't interfere with each other? That won't do. We may very well be classmates in the future. Today I just sincerely want to get to know your friends. I don't mean any harm."
"Zoshen, Luo Lai, please apologize to our two friends who have come from afar. What did you say just now?"
Lu Huai could see that the two people who were forced to apologize by the red-haired young man were very reluctant, and their attire was also very exquisite, which was completely different from theirs. At the very least, they were small nobles.
I thought to myself that if I was lucky enough to be admitted, my future life would probably not be so peaceful.
Just a sentence that mentioned him directly interrupted his thoughts: "Hello Lu Huai, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Xu Rui, and my mother is also a descendant of the ancient Chinese country in the East."
Xu Rui has always been a ruthless and crazy person. If he didn't really want to have a good relationship with the other party, he would not have lost face by suppressing his own younger brother.
But he really rarely saw such an oriental beauty as beautiful as porcelain, even though she was a man.
He extended his hand to Lu Huai: "I'm really glad to meet you."
The hand stretched out in the air, but received no response.
The ancient country of China?
Lu Huai and 0359 were both stunned when they heard this keyword. This familiar name not only reminded them of reality, but also of several previous worlds.
The long-standing civilization is linked to too many memories, which almost gives the tasker goosebumps.
I can't figure out if it's the intersection between worlds or just a coincidence.
