0208 Chapter 5 Rebirth of Blood Candle Castle (Section 6)
"I heard that Master Mediana attaches great importance to the brainpower and thinking potential of his disciples. All the students who can be selected are the strongest among the wise," Sephis continued to whisper to the people around him:
"If she were to come up with the question, I think this test would be a problem that needs to be solved with intelligence."
Unknowingly or not, Dean Mediana's eyes swept over the confident Sephis, causing him to shut up in a hurry. Then her eyes seemed to stay on Zhen Cheng for a moment, and then she said:
"In addition to the top professional education in Blood Candle Castle and the higher-level way of sublimation that you expect, there are also more precious principles of life, as well as... all possible truths and truths.
Just like today's exam, you will understand that there will always be others in the fields you are good at, and the shortcomings you think you have shortcomings will become your advantages at some point.
In the world I have prepared for you, you will all be given a puzzle. And all you need to do is face the biggest challenge in life - yourself.
All you need to do is get the answer to the puzzle faster than you can on your own.
The topic has been told to you, now please make a circle, and the students I selected will come forward and stand in front of me. The first one...Gurrr~Wa!"
The last sound that the Dream Builder made, like a frog's croaking, was not because he couldn't help but burp, but because he was calling the student's name.
Zhen Cheng only realized this when he saw a spherical creature with gill fins wandering out from among the candidates and floating in front of the examiner.
She was quite shocked at the same time. Because under Blood Candle Castle's application system, the college chosen by each student was random.
The dean of the Dream Builder either has the ability to see the real names of the students at a glance, or he has memorized the names of thousands of candidates and can match the names with the people.
Either way, Zhen Cheng was inexplicably surprised.
It was hard for her to imagine how a humanoid deity like Ms. Mediana could accurately pronounce a name that was not designed for human vocal organs.
And at the moment when Zhen Cheng was confused, he saw that Gurrr~Wa, who was surrounded in the middle, was shrunk until he was in an illusory and translucent castle stone room.
As a dream builder who stands at the top of the arcane field, Ms. Mediana not only creates a dream that is almost as real as real for the students taking the exam, but also pulls all the awake candidates present into the border between reality and fantasy.
In the examination room created by the illusion, a Gurrr~Wa who looked the same as Gurrr~Wa, with a gray and colorless body, appeared across the table from the examinee.
Presumably, that is the "self" that the dean said needs to be overcome.
Like all the candidates who were watching, Zhen Cheng saw the illusive castle stone chamber, the stained glass through the mottled light and shadow, and the image of the angel above hitting the ground.
The translucent stone walls are covered with medieval armor such as flails and shields, and there is also a feast on the table on gold and silver tableware.
In front of the dining table lies a corpse with a crown on his head and an unclear face. Above the dining table, the void between two exquisite heraldic tapestries displays a few lines of text with a halo:
What subverted the supreme imperial power?
Under the bright appearance, the bishop secretly selected the deadly assassin.
The knight's strongest blow has already been aimed at the king's enemy.
But everything is in vain,
The head under the golden crown cannot escape its own consequences,
He was obsessed with the blood of workers wrapped in gold and jade.
Zhen Cheng guessed that it might be some kind of magic that allowed different people to see different characters, because if nothing else, the Gurrr~Wa student in the examination room didn't look like he knew Chinese characters.
At the same time, she noticed that Cephis beside her seemed to be very surprised by the content of the exam. Sometimes she was indeed the most difficult enemy to defeat, but Ms. Mediana would choose to "confront herself" which seemed to be more inclined to
The practical questions really slapped Sephis in the face.
As for herself, she guessed the answer to the so-called "riddle" at a glance - the red wine in a gold cup on the table.
If the understanding is correct, the Gurrr~Wa student in the fantasy world can easily pass the exam as long as he picks up the golden cup or drinks the red wine, or first tries to feed the obviously problematic wine to his "other self"
.
Looking around the entire stone room of the examination room, the only image related to the bishop is the stained glass window with the appearance of an angel. "Under the bright appearance" implies the reflection of the angel on the ground through the window.
The "knight's strongest blow" undoubtedly refers to the three-meter-long spear placed against the wall and held up by a decorative bracket. The horse charging at full speed exerts the tonnage of the heavily armored knight on the tip of the spear.
, the spear thrust is as lethal as modern sniper rifle shooting.
Where the reflected angel's gaze intersects with the respective extended lines of the lance placed on the stand, it is the wine contained on the table in a gold cup set with jade and jewels, that is, the "blood of the laborer" that the king collected from the vineyard growers.
.
A basic puzzle about symbols and metaphors that most ordinary people can solve with enough thinking time. This is the field that Zhen Cheng is good at, but instead of being secretly happy about the result, she is a little worried.
.
The spherical creature in the illusion of the examination room obviously does not have Zhen Cheng's intelligence, but it seems to have sufficient confidence in its own force. Well, magic also has different branches. Not every mage is a wise man, which will be explained in detail later.
According to Gurrr~Wa, after all, the question mentioned by Ms. Mediana is just "to get the answer earlier than 'oneself'." If you are more flexible, you can easily think of an invincible method.
Gurrr~Wa didn't spend too long thinking about the puzzle. After realizing that it would not be able to guess the question for a while, it hit "him" at the next table with an invisible attack without any warning.
.
With Zhen Cheng's vision, she was completely unable to understand what kind of phenomenon Gurrr~Wa's attack was. She only saw the wooden board on the dining table completely shattered, and all the tableware and food on it rolled up and rushed towards the gray-white Gurrr~
Wa, and then rolled back in the same way halfway through the flight.
The indescribable attack fell on the spherical body of the candidate Gurrr~Wa, knocking it directly out of the illusory examination room and falling back to the waiting hall.
This guy's round body rolled in the hall with huge kinetic energy, knocking many candidates off their feet, and finally he collapsed on the ground and shivered as if he was deflated.
Mediana, who was standing in the middle, was not surprised by this. She simply announced that the first candidate had failed the exam and then called another name.
