Harriet Terrence’s expression became serious as his gaze swept across the faces of every single academy, he said seriously, “The trial is over. Party B with the highest score will be able to obtain all the magical beast essence crystals. However, if they lose, the radiant church and the cult of shadows will be able to obtain five quotas to forcefully recruit them.”
“Therefore, this is not just a trial about the glory of the Empire, but also about yourselves.”
“Damn it!”
Someone punched his palm and said dejectedly, “No Wonder Senior Dick, who participated in the last trial, did not return.”
“Cagley did not return either. So, they were forcibly recruited into the Two Holy See.”
Quite a number of sixth grade old students were discussing amongst themselves.
Harriet Terrence shook his head indifferently and said, “No, they are dead.”
The discussion disappeared in an instant. The entire place was silent. Everyone stared at Harriet Terrence in a daze.
This was the first time that they realized that the amiable Dean’s expression was so cold that it made them feel a little afraid.
“Children, this is not an ordinary trial. It will be a four-person trial. All of you will be spending half a month alone in the Magical Beast Forest. Other than the cunning and vicious magical beasts, you will also need to be careful of the trial-takers who are traveling with you.”
The students all fell silent.
The students who had the courage to apply for the trial knew more or less how cruel the trial was, but this was the first time it was placed in front of them in such a naked manner.
Harriet Terrence gave them time to accept and digest this fact.
He walked to a high slope and looked at the vast plains under the night sky.
Joelson walked to Harriet Terrence’s side and said in a low voice, “Teacher, was Ulysses forcefully recruited by the Dark Church in the past?”
Harriet did not turn around. His tone was calm.
“No, we won that time. He took the initiative to ask to join the Dark Church.”
…
At the border between the Alcott Empire and the Yheng Empire, a team was waiting there.
The people waiting were all wearing bright knight armor. Their young faces were cold and resolute.
They looked towards the north as if they were waiting for something.
A streak of golden light landed on the ground, revealing a tall and broad back.
“Lord Sword Saint.”
The knights greeted him respectfully.
Fred, a holy-level knight of the Yheng Empire. He was known as the “Sword Saint.”.
Fred said in a low voice, “They’re here.”
In the distance, a team slowly appeared in their field of vision. They were getting closer and closer.
Joelson narrowed his eyes and looked at the trial-takers of the Yheng Empire. There were a few familiar faces.
Don Quixote, Stephanie, and a certain red-haired madman whom he had taught a good lesson to, Hawthorne.
Harriet Terrence sat on the horse’s back and waved at Fred.
The latter smiled.
Fred was a middle-aged man who looked very ordinary. He did not look outstanding in any way, but his eyes that emitted sharp lights from time to time made it impossible for people to ignore his existence.
The two teams met.
Don Quixote’s eyes were locked on Joelson and he said faintly, “Joelson.”
Joelson smiled at him and brushed past him. Stephanie, who was beside him, stared at Joelson with her big eyes and snorted.
Hawthorne’s eyes still had traces of hostility and resentment in them. When Joelson looked over, he hurriedly dodged.
The strong team did not stop and headed east.
After walking for three days, the desolate and open plains disappeared. A dense forest could be seen.
The Magical Beast Forest was right in front of them.
The Magical Beast Forest, which was backed by the impassable mountain range, was even more dangerous than the Elf Forest in the far west.
It was much wider than the Elf Forest.
In the depths of the forest, there were countless high-level and even saint-level terrifying magical beasts.
The Alcott Empire and the Yheng Empire’s trial teams stopped here and waited.
On the fifth day after arriving at the Magical Beast Forest, a team of people appeared before their eyes.
Joelson narrowed his eyes and looked over.
Scorching Sun Empire, Radiant Church.
The flying cross flags indicated their identities.
The leader was the Archbishop of Light who was wearing a white robe, and there were also a few priests who were dressed similarly.
The long white robe was connected to the hood. Their heads were lowered, and their faces could not be seen clearly.
After them, were the knights.
They were wearing beautiful armor. They were engraved with beautiful patterns using magic silver and were inlaid with gold.
Each of them was riding a kind of snow-white magic beast. It was similar to a warhorse, but there was a light blue horn growing on their forehead.
“It’s a tier 7 Unicorn!” Someone exclaimed.
Their expressions were arrogant and cold. Their chins were slightly raised, and they used the corner of their eyes to look down at everything around them.
Sacred and solemn.
“Archbishop Saroyan.”
Harriet and Fred greeted the leader of the blazing sun empire indifferently.
The latter had a benevolent smile on his face and nodded slightly.
There was not much communication between them. The two sides pulled apart a certain distance and settled down here.
Joelson noticed an extremely dazzling existence in the blazing Sun Empire’s team.
It was a knight. He was riding the only level 8 unicorn in the team. He had light gray short hair, a handsome face, and silver-gray eyes.
The holy aura on his body was the densest. His entire person seemed like a ball of holy light that was walking around.
Harriet Terrence slowly walked to his side and said in a low voice, “If I’m not wrong, that should be the current Holy Son of the Blazing Sun Empire’s Church of Light. If you meet him, you have to be careful.”
Joelson nodded silently.
Other than this person, there were also a few priests who were covered in white robes. Their auras were also very strange, which made him pay a little attention.
At this moment, a black light streaked across the sky wantonly.
Everyone’s eyes were attracted to it.
Their eyes were slightly solemn.
The black light dissipated, and a thin figure landed in front of everyone. There was a wicked smile on his face, giving people the feeling that he was a poisonous snake that had come out of the darkness.
He was a saint-level knight from the Dark Church.
“Hmph!”
Archbishop Saloyan of the Church of Light’s smile disappeared, and he snorted coldly.
His face was filled with undisguised disgust.
The other people from the Church of Light had the same reaction.
Joelson heard Fred say in a low voice, “Grover, why is it this troublesome guy again?”
Not long after Grover landed, a cloud of dust rose behind him. It seemed that a huge team was rushing towards them.
It was dozens of huge magical beasts that looked like lizards. Their limbs were short and strong. They were lying on the ground, but they ran very fast.
Poison gland lizards, tier 7 magical beasts.
On the back of each poison gland lizard sat a trial-taker of the Dark Church who was dressed like a knight or a mage.
But what was truly shocking was not these ugly and ferocious magical beasts.
Instead, it was an even more terrifying monster in the air above the venom-glands lizard.
“Look!”
“It’s a dragon! That’s a dragon!”
Someone cried out in alarm.
