Die on the road!!

Everyone present was in an uproar!

Except for some people who have the status of knights, or who have received knightly training in their respective academies before, everyone is just a very ordinary student or commoner, nobleman, and his life is dull, where has he ever been so close to such a word.

As soon as Flynn spoke, he taught them the first lesson, the cruelty of the mystic world, and the lowliness of ordinary people's lives.

Flynn sneered and glanced down, but didn't speak.

He felt that these newcomers were really ridiculous, how could there be a reason in the world to want to gain power without wanting to pay the price, the strong man had come out of the corpses of many mortals, otherwise where would there be eternity, where would there be truth, where would there be omnipotent wisdom?

But that's not the case for all newcomers.

Flynn's gaze swept over them.

Due to historical reasons, the gifted people in the south and north of the federation were divided into two major factions as soon as they came to the Capital Academy, although they were divided into some small factions because of each region, but the northern and southern factions were still clearly distinguished, and the small factions were not worth mentioning.

Among them, the southern part of the Federation is more chaotic, closer to the war between the Federation and the Slaves, and it is also notoriously rich in knights.

In the south, even nobles had to be knightly trained from an early age, and some were even knights themselves, unlike the nobles in the north, who were more political and cultural, so southerners were much calmer when they heard the word death.

After all, knights have been indoctrinated in this area since childhood, and are themselves synonymous with force and war.

The newcomers in the north were much more panicked, and they had the impression that the word death was still far away from them.

The most calm are the people sitting at the front, these people themselves have the identity of apprentices, whether it is the understanding of the mystic or the confidence in themselves, so they are very calm, and some are even reading.

Flynn kept nodding his head, but there was no expression on his face.

"You're lucky enough, because you are all talented and a good seedling to be cultivated, so I won't let you die too much along the way. The others are different, and I can't say how many people can arrive in each batch! ”

Immediately, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old aristocratic boy stood up and said angrily: "But you didn't say this before! ”

Flynn sneered, "So what do we say?" Does just one test result give you great strength? You have chosen not to be an ordinary path! Not only is the road fraught with dangers, but there is a price to pay for everything! ”

Another teenager shouted: "Then I refuse, I won't go in three days, I'm going back to the territory!" ”

Flynn nodded, and stopped talking.

Seeing this, more people who were afraid of death immediately echoed it.

The rest of the people still longed for the power of the Mystic, but they were also a little afraid of the path that might cost their lives, so they all looked at Flynn with hope, hoping that Flynn would give them a satisfactory answer under the pressure of so many people.

But they were disappointed, and Flynn didn't say anything.

These people were scared, but they couldn't stop the decision of the Silent Tower, and they set off as usual three days later.

Horse-drawn carriages were parked in the Place de la Lofes, luxurious and modest, most laden with luggage.

Some of the people who were shouting in the auditorium a few days ago to give up also came, and some really didn't come, resulting in only about sixty people left in the originally established team of more than 70 people, but An Yang wanted to get the fate of these people.

It didn't take long for Flynn to arrive, and he rode in a black carriage, but instead of a horse, it was a strange creature that looked a bit like a rhinoceros, and it was very strong and powerful.

Afterwards, a team of fierce mercenaries also arrived on horseback, and soon surrounded everyone in the middle.

One of the middle-aged knights frowned, rode his horse and inquired about Flynn, before returning and saying:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have to regret to tell you that this journey has not been easy and dangerous, and the luggage and the team you have brought are so bloated that you must throw away unnecessary things and reduce the number of carriages as much as possible!"

Immediately, there was another uproar.

Although there are civilians among those who have been tested for talent, most of them are still nobles, and it is already the limit for them to leave them without attendant guards and maids, and if they want to throw away their luggage again, it is estimated that they will be killed along the way.

"These things are very precious to me!"

"I've thrown away a lot of things, so little is already my limit, and the rest can't be more streamlined!"

"All my dry food along the way is here!"

"My father is Count Alf!"

……

The crowd came up with all sorts of excuses.

But this group of mercenaries was obviously instructed by Flynn, and they didn't care about their excuses and noble status, if they didn't comply, they would be directly enforced! On the contrary, some civilians are more cooperative, after all, they have no confidence, and the things they bring are not valuable.

However, when they arrived at the team of apprentices, the group of mercenaries consciously skipped and did not dare to do anything to them.

Just when everyone thought that this was all there was to it, the middle-aged knight rode around everyone again: "I have already said that I will reduce the number of carriages as much as possible and reduce the team, so I will ask you to be wronged." ”

The nobles were in an uproar again.

"You said it lightly, the carriage is so big, it won't squeeze a few people to death! And before you said to streamline your luggage, why didn't you search the luggage of those people in front of you, just because they embarked on the road of pursuing mysterious power before us? ”

"That's right, I'm definitely not going to give in this time!"

"I will never ride in a carriage with these civilians, of course, if it is a beautiful young lady, I can consider it!"

……

The knights still ignored the opinions of these noble children, and directly killed at least two-thirds of the horses that pulled the carriage, leaving only some carriages that seemed to be relatively sturdy, so as to force them to squeeze a carriage together.

Of course, this behavior also caused a lot of backlash, and some nobles said on the spot that they wanted to give up the trip.

In this regard, the middle-aged knight only said coldly: "I have heard about the incident a few days ago, ladies and gentlemen, I think you had better think seriously about this, if you give up this precious opportunity, your father will not tolerate you!" ”

The children of the aristocracy who were arrogant before suddenly died down.

Yes, all they relied on was their own aristocratic status, and without this status, they would not be much different from the commoners who obediently accepted the arrangement. And now is an opportunity for them and their family to soar into the sky, if they want to give up, they will not get the consent of the head of the family, and the result of insisting on going their own way is that they can't even go back to the nobles!

The apprentices still have privileges in this matter, but the privileges are not very great, and the middle-aged knight quickly came over and politely asked if you could be accommodating, reduce some carriages, and vaguely indicate that this is what Lord Flynn meant.

When it came to Flynn, many of the apprentices knew what to do no matter how hard they could talk, and they all nodded happily in agreement.

However, the trainees are still much better treated than others, others are three or four people in a carriage, and the trainees are generally two people with a better relationship in the same carriage, and the luggage is also there, and they can live very comfortably along the way.

An Yang was not affected in any way, because their group of four apprentices only used one carriage.

He and Shiryl rode in the same car, to be precise, he rode alone, Shiryl was in charge of driving the car, but You and Martin were accompanied by horses, and the mercenaries had nothing to say, not to mention that the four of them were the strongest in terms of strength and talent.

After a while, the gifted ones were still deliberating on the distribution of the carriages, causing everyone else to stop in the square and wait for them.

Half an hour later --

The detected talents have not yet been assigned.

An Yang frowned and looked over there, most of the people he had known each other in the past few days had sat in the same carriage, but there were some who were not very gregarious before and could not find a carriage to accept them, or some nobles did not allow commoners to get into their carriage.

These clashes led to a stalemate in several vehicles.

It wasn't until the mercenaries not far away couldn't bear it anymore that they rode their horses and used force to get these people on the car.

After ten minutes, everything was finally settled.

The middle-aged knight stepped forward and said, "You are all future adults, my name is Tris Roland, and I am the leader of the mercenary group responsible for escorting you, I would like to greet you here, and by the way, I wish you all success in this journey!" ”

After a pause, he added, "It will take us about a month to reach the Blackwater Pier in the Achlan Province, where you will take a boat to your destination, and once we get there, our escort mission will be completed!" But before we can do that, we need to head to Solanka, where there is a group of adults who have been admitted directly from the Tower. ”

The middle-aged knight obviously knew that there were only a handful of these people who could truly become mysteries, so he was not very polite.

In fact, most of these aristocratic teenagers were sought after by everyone after they were found to be talented, and even if they were not happy before, their status immediately increased, and they could do whatever they wanted, no matter which woman they wanted to enjoy, or whatever they wanted to do, their family would satisfy them. And there is always a group of people who cater to them, to please them, or the woman who has not seen them at all before takes the initiative to give them a hug. I can't help but feel a little fluttering, thinking that I am the pride of the sky.

In fact, they only have one more chance than ordinary people, some people have been eliminated in the auditorium a few days ago, and some people will be eliminated along the way, and the ones who finally reach the Tower of Silence are not the winners, most of them will fail.

It's just that they haven't realized it yet.

It didn't take long for everyone to finally hit the road.

Anyang could still hear someone in the car behind him whispering or arguing, it seemed that the road would not be peaceful, but he undoubtedly didn't care about this, almost as soon as he stepped into this carriage, he was already destined to reach the Silent Tower.

After about two hours, the people left the capital.

Some people with weak temperaments began to cry quietly, after all, most of them were only teenage boys and girls, and they all knew that they were students admitted by the Capital Academy from major colleges across the country, and no matter how precocious they were, it was inevitable that they would be a little sad.

Correspondingly, there are some ambitious people who are full of hope for the future and have a strong desire for power.

……

Another half hour --

But Yo still followed the carriage, and Martin had already consciously gone to talk to Tris, the head of the mercenary group.

His purpose was to ask for some information on the road, and by the way, to make the journey more comfortable. After all, in addition to shouldering the safety of everyone along the way, the accompanying mercenary group will also take on logistics and other work, such as food and daily life.

Tris had clearly remembered everyone, and was clear about who they were, so he was surprised by the visit of this extraordinarily gifted apprentice, and naturally, his attitude was very different from that of other talented.

"My lord, do you have any advice?"

"I'm idle and bored, riding around."

"Your Excellency, you are really leisurely and elegant."

"Haha, Lord Tris, I see that you have an extraordinary temperament, you should be a great knight, right?"

Triss was courteous: "You're so polite. ”

Martin smiled: "So you admit it?" As luck would have it, I was also a great knight before I was able to detect talent. ”

"What?"

Triston's eyes widened.

Martin smiled again, showing him the power to do so.

Tris was immediately shocked: "You are still a big knight?" Oh my God, you're a first-class qualification! If your cultivation path goes well, you will definitely become a true Mystic, but I didn't expect you to be so successful in this area! ”

After a pause, he looked at Martin carefully: "And you still ...... Such a young knight! ”

Martin said, "It's nothing, I just want to talk to you about swordsmanship." ”

Tris hurriedly said respectfully: "This is naturally no problem, and I hope to get some inspiration from you, after all, such a young genius as you is too rare." And with you, our journey must be much safer. ”

Martin continued to be polite to him.

When Martin returned to the carriage, he had put away the hippie smile on his face and began to whisper to Anyang. This includes the itinerary and accommodation arrangements for the convoy in the coming days, as well as the dangers that may be encountered along the way.

Apparently in the process of communicating with him, Tris had already revealed everything he could say to him.

"That's about it, sir."

"Yes."

An Yang in the carriage nodded.

But suddenly, there was an uproar ahead.

The convoy came to a temporary halt.

"My lord, the people at the front seem to have stopped moving," said Shiryldell, "My lord. ”

An Yang frowned, lifted the curtain and looked out, but he could only see a long carriage, and he couldn't see what was happening at the front, so he said: "I seem to hear a girl screaming, go see what's going on!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

But Yoo rode his horse and ran forward.

Martin said: "These noble sons have no chauffeur with them, and they can't drive them, so they may have fallen into the river by the roadside." ”

An Yang pursed his lips and didn't speak.

Soon Danyou came back and said, "My lord, there is a pile of corpses in front of you, and the ones you just put on are still bleeding. I heard from the people in front of me that these people came to the Capital Academy, but when they gathered today, they didn't come to the children of the nobles, so I didn't expect ......"

An Yang waved his hand, indicating that he understood.

"Is this a way to deter these people?"

He knew that with the style of the Silent Tower, if he could tolerate the free choice of these noble children, not many people would know about the existence of the Silent Tower for so many years! And there's only one easy way to shut up......

Die!

Anyway, they don't value life, and they don't care about the nobility!

Someone in front of them was soon frightened, crying that they would not continue with the executioners anyway, as if they were still playing with children at home. Especially some girls, who are undoubtedly more afraid of death than gaining power!

Naturally, the knights of the mercenary group would not even bother to admonish them or force them to go on their way.

"You can go back, too!"

With only one cold word, Tris urged everyone to drive over the corpse and continue walking.

The young boys and girls who were still crying suddenly chilled all over their bodies, looked at the broken corpses on the ground, and then at the knights who followed them with cross-swords and didn't know what their intentions were, and immediately chased after the carriage in front of them!

An Yang glanced at the corpse as he passed by, and sure enough, there were several faces faintly familiar. Without exception, they were the ones who had been the most resistant to Flynn in cold blood three days ago, and they could be seen from their clothes, and their status was very noble.

But it is estimated that no one even dared to collect the corpse for them when they died!

An Yang thought.

There were a few faint cries from the front, and some traces of vomiting could be seen on the ground from time to time, and it was obvious that many of the gifted people in the northern part of the Federation had seen corpses for the first time. At the same time, it also made them realize that it was not a good journey.

On the contrary, the road is full of death and blood.

And they made a choice, and there is no turning back!

The convoy moved on.

On the road, a teenager tried to escape away from the mercenary group when it was convenient to get out of the car, but was easily discovered by the knights, who shot him on the spot and dragged the body in front of everyone to set an example, which naturally caused some weak people to scream and fear.

At dusk, the convoy passed through Viscount Lotherka.

This happened to be the territory of a noble girl in the convoy, who was already terrified and immediately took advantage of this to ask her father, who was a viscount and lord, for help, but her father sternly rejected her request, making her put the family's interests first.

After that, no one had the heart to leave the group.

At the same time, the trainees in the team were also a little dissatisfied with this group of newcomers who had delayed a lot of time, but some of them did not show it because they would all be studying in the Silent Tower in the future, and there was no need to stiffen the relationship in advance.

And Flynn is still on the line!

In the evening, the group arrived at a village.

The knights of the mercenary regiment unloaded some tents from the wagons, skillfully set them up, and did not go into the village to spend the night.

The tent is separate for men and women, and there are three ordinary people, and the trainees are more noble in the eyes of the mercenaries, and many of them have the habit of reading and studying at night, so they usually have one for one person, and there is still a surplus of tents.

The mercenaries began to divide into two groups, one was responsible for guarding security, and the other was responsible for lighting fires, building stoves and cooking.

The food at night is naturally not as good as in the academy, but at this time, no nobleman dares to make trouble with his own identity. So no one complains about how unpalatable it is, but some people silently throw it away, preferring to go hungry rather than eat these things.

"This group of pampered northern pigs are also children of nobles, and we from the south are not so hypocritical!"

But you despise the thought.

Martin agreed, saying, "It's a good thing to have a hard day's work today, and they have rarely suffered, and if they don't eat now, they'll be hungry in the middle of the night, and if they do it again tomorrow at breakfast, they'll know they're wrong!" ”

What the nobles in the north refuse to eat, some of the gifted people detected in the south are holding the food and frowning and swallowing it!

Shiryl said, "Maybe this is what Lord Flynn did on purpose, to smooth their sharpness before reaching the tower, so that they can be in awe of the world and the mysterious, and after arriving at the tower, they can save the tower a lot of trouble!" ”

An Yang smiled and did not participate in their conversation.

"Whew!"

He blew into the bowl in his hand and took a sip of the soup.

Then he frowned.

Their food is much better than the others, there is mushroom soup, some hot dried meat and bread, it can be said that there is no problem in terms of nutrition, it is obviously different, but the taste is still not complimentary! This soup is simply salty......

Shiryl saw his expression and immediately stood up.

"We also have dry food and kitchen utensils in our wagons, and if you don't get used to it, I can make you a new one right away."

An Yang waved his hand: "No need! ”

Shirmile didn't say much.

Some of the apprentices next to him had already taken out their own dry food and started eating, causing some talented people to drool constantly. These self-proclaimed sons of heaven finally realized the difference in rank, but unfortunately they didn't even dare to complain.

Just like these millennia of commoners and aristocrats!

Of course, there are also apprentices who don't care about this, so they take the food prepared by the mercenaries and eat it in a big gulp, and after eating, they take out their books and sit in front of the fire to read them silently, and the twisted words are not afraid that others can understand them.

They are also showing the gifted ones what life will be like after embarking on the mysterious path.

Some of the apprentices asked the mercenary group for lanterns and went back to their tents to study more hidden knowledge.

Maybe it's because Flynn thinks that the apprentices already know what the mysterious path looks like and don't need to hone their minds, or maybe it's because the mercenaries don't dare to be rude to the apprentices, so they are treated differently everywhere, and their demands are generally met.

It's not the same with someone else.

To put it bluntly, most of these people were recruited from various regional academies by the apprentice organization of the Capital Academy through the connections of the federal government, and they were just some students, and they were not taken seriously by these knights who licked their blood at all.

Some of the people who have been trained as knights before are considered good, and they are cheeky enough to say a few words to the knights.

About three days later--

The group arrived in Solanka and found a hotel to rest.

Prepare to rendezvous with the gifted ones who have been directly admitted to the Tower of Silence.
