When the white light dissipated, Rhodes found that they were in a huge hall again. The light here was relatively dim, and copper lamps were used for lighting instead of flames. The hall was full of tables, chairs, bookshelves and scattered items, making it very messy.
There was a long queue in front of the long table on one side.
A middle-aged man ran over.
"Your Excellency, Archbishop, is this the last batch of new students? Why is there only this one?"
"Something happened in the upper city area. I sent over the students who have lit the soul fire. I will leave the rest to you. I have to move another group of people to a safe location."
The middle-aged man asked hesitantly: "Is it because of the black tide?"
The archbishop looked gloomy and answered briefly: "Not entirely, there is a loophole in the Silver Oath. Your Excellency, the officiant, has already passed. You will not be affected. I'm leaving."
After saying that, it turned into a stream of light and flew away.
The middle-aged man looked very sad, but when he saw them in the blink of an eye, he smiled again.
"Students, follow me. That is the checkpoint of the Industrial Machinery Research Institute. They will check your sequence and soul characteristics and assign you to a department."
He took them to queue behind the long queue and began to tell them the rules and regulations of the college, occasionally interspersing the glorious achievements and long history of the college.
From him, Rhodes mainly obtained a key piece of information.
Jinworth College was established by an organization called the Jinworth Society. The original goal of this organization was to study the origin of the black fog and ways to eliminate it. Now it has become the highest academic organization in the royal city, and its research scope has expanded extremely widely.
, they are consulted before many decisions are made.
"For text problems, maybe we can ask the Kingworth Society for help."
Rhodes thought, but now he is more worried about the detection problem.
This worry is twofold.
The first concern is whether he will be found to have failed the test of fire.
The second level is whether he will be detected as "soul devoured".
After all, the scene in the dream is too suspicious.
The student who had just been burned to ashes was still vivid in his mind, and Rhodes did not dare to bet that he could still be unharmed despite violating the "unforgivable" taboo.
Worried, Rhodes quickly approached the checkpoint.
It is a disk-shaped device. The tester stands on it and puts his hand on the crystal ball on the long table. The corresponding text will appear on the crystal ball. The inspector will identify it, confirm the ability or characteristics, and register the record.
This work is not very smooth. Sometimes the response of the crystal ball is very slow, and sometimes the text that appears is very difficult to understand. The inspector needs to repeatedly consult various books and materials to confirm.
The reason why this unreasonable situation occurs is because these devices are not strictly produced by them.
Instead, researchers from the Industrial Machinery Research Institute restored and spliced the items brought by the soldiers from the ruins or ruins deep in the black mist.
According to Wayne:
"Weird things created by weirdos in the Industrial Machinery Research Institute."
——
"Test subject, Annavista of Vengerberg, belongs to the sequence, Fire Incarnation. Soul characteristics, Moonlight. A type of long-range combatant. It is recommended to assign departments, one department to one department, salary level, special grade
."
There was a burst of exclamation all around.
Kingworth College is divided into three colleges, each with ten departments. The departments have different emphases and different teaching staff.
But in general, one college and one department is the best, just like the previous special key classes.
This can be seen from the salary scale.
Annavista was a tall girl with long hair shawl-shouldered. She had a cold face and seemed not surprised by this. She calmly walked away from the device, not paying attention to the envious eyes around her.
"The subject, Red Bee from Qianhu Town, belongs to the sequence, Empowerer of Fire. The number of soul fires that have been ignited is two, the type of fire, body of steel, immortal body. A type of combatant, it is recommended to be assigned to a department, three
Department 1, salary level, level 2.”
There was also a burst of small exclamations around her. Hongfeng happily stepped off the device, and someone immediately picked her up on the other side.
Rhodes now knows that there are two ways to ignite the soul fire:
One is that the entire soul burns and shows the complete soul characteristics. This type is called the fire spirit, or spiritual fire for short.
One is that the soul is not ignited, but the fire is left behind. Later, through hard work or training, more fires can be ignited. Each time a fire is ignited, a new ability is gained. This is called the fire empowerer, or fire empowerer for short.
spark.
Generally speaking, fire-givers were generally considered to be stronger than fire-givers, until a different species appeared.
——The strongest among the Knights of the Royal City, Alan, known as the Indestructible Rainbow Light and the First Knight.
He ignited nineteen fires, acquired nineteen abilities, broke all previous records, and far surpassed the second place. He went through thousands of battles, large and small, without defeat. His legendary story
It can be said that he lasted for three days and three nights, and he is the most famous idol in the royal city.
He single-handedly raised the status of the Fire Empowerer to a higher level.
Although it is still not as good as the Fire Spirit Giver, it is still far stronger than before.
The Red Bee, who had just stepped into the ranks of fire bearers, had ignited two fires. He was obviously very talented, and naturally received the advantageous conditions of three colleges, one department, and a second-level salary.
This information flashed through Rhodes' mind without leaving many traces.
Because after the red bee left, it was his turn to step up.
Rhodes took a breath, stood on the device, and placed his hand on the crystal ball.
It took a long time for the crystal ball to display a line of text. As soon as the inspector saw the words on the crystal ball, his brows knitted together.
He rummaged through the pile of books under the table for a long time, and finally took out a dusty tome.
He put on his monocle, opened the tome, and struggled to find the information he needed in the small characters as thin as mosquitoes.
"... dim, dark, gluttonous, easy to digest, absorb, chew... What the hell is this special thing?"
The inspector thought about it for a long time and pulled out several strands of his hair before he finally finished writing his information.
"Test subject, Rhodes from Red Stone Village, belongs to the sequence, Empowerer of Fire. The number of soul fires that have been ignited is one, the type of fire, black rice bucket, unknown ability, combat or auxiliary personnel (doubtful), recommended to be assigned to a department,
Three colleges and ten departments, salary grade, ninth grade.”
The moment I finished reading, there was a burst of laughter around me, among which the fat red-haired man Hamblin had the loudest voice.
"Hahaha, black rice bucket, did you hear that? This is the first time I heard such a weird name. Congratulations on adding a new record to the big library."
"I bet that no one will awaken the same fire as you in the next hundred years."
"Shut up!"
A middle-aged man ran over from behind the team and stopped their ridicule.
"He will go to the front line like us in the future, and he will also protect our homeland like us. Who do you have the right to laugh at? Remember, never point the edge at our companions, that is reserved for those bastards in the black mist
of."
He turned around and said to Rhodes kindly.
"Don't be discouraged, young man. You are more than just a firebrand. Think of Alan. As long as you study hard and train hard, everything will be fine."
Rhodes pretended to accept the instruction with an open mind, but he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.
He was finally temporarily safe and gained a precious protective umbrella.
The twists and turns along the way are really unspeakable, but fortunately, we finally got through it without any danger.
From now on, he is a student of Jinworth College. With the status of a "fire" in the future of mankind, the Internal Affairs Tribunal should have some scruples.
The danger of death was finally far away from him for the time being, and he had a little breathing space. He wanted to take advantage of this time to find out the truth of the matter and the secrets in the dream as soon as possible.
——
After the test was completed, there were no more twists and turns. After waiting for a while, Rhodes followed the crowd to Jinworth College.
It is located in the inner city of Xiacheng District. It covers a very large area and has dedicated teaching buildings, dormitories, canteens, libraries, training grounds, broadcast towers, astronomy buildings, and medical offices.
There are also lakes, lawns, gardens, and fountains in the campus.
There is no doubt that it is an institution of learning that the entire royal city has devoted all its efforts to build, and it is one of the cores of this kingdom.
It is said that it cannot be placed in the upper city just because the area is too large.
But in the Lower City, it is no less protected than the Upper City and the Royal Palace.
The fire ceremony is second only to the holy fire.
The treatment of its students is also luxurious. As the lowest salary level, Rhodes can receive a salary of forty-two silver cords per week, as well as fixed distribution of materials, and does not have to pay any money, tuition and fees, and books.
Fees and accommodation fees are not covered by them.
Therefore, these forty-two silver cords are his salary.
Students do not have to bear any fees and are paid wages, which is of extraordinary significance.
The most surprising thing was that after Rhodes went through a series of distribution groups and received baskets of supplies, he discovered that his dormitory was actually a private room.
The room, which is about 40 square meters, has a desk, bookshelf, bench, wardrobe, neat bed, separate washroom and toilet.
For students, such a dormitory can no longer be described as luxurious, it is simply a dream existence.
Rhodes tried it and found that there was a supply of running water, even hot and cold.
The sewer system is also very advanced and even has traps, proving that they fully understand the corresponding engineering construction knowledge.
Rhodes was silent for a while and realized that he needed to re-evaluate the kingdom called Trolian.
