I don't know how long it took, but Tang Zhao slowly woke up.
After blinking and clearing the drowsiness in front of his eyes, his thoughts and spirit returned little by little from an inexplicable place and were stuffed back into his buzzing head.
what time is it now?
The sun shone through the window paper, and it was already three o'clock in the sky.
Isn't it...something bad?
Button——
"who?"
"Brother Zhao? Breakfast."
It was Wei Changle's voice.
Tang Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Come in, Changle."
Wei Changle came in with breakfast and saw Tang Zhao sitting on the bed with his eyes straightened, looking hopeless. His heart tightened and he closed the door behind his back.
Tang Zhao took the porridge in a daze and drank it all in one gulp, not knowing what he had eaten.
Wei Changle sighed silently and said, "Brother Zhao, are you okay?"
"Forehead?"
Tang Zhao sat for a while, his IQ gradually returned, and said: "What? What is it?"
"Brother Zhao——" Wei Changle moved the only chair opposite him, "There was a lot of chaos outside last night. In the middle of the night, all the teachers of the Grape Courtyard were called out, and many of the disciples were also called out. Master Guan
Not here now either. Today’s homework is canceled.”
Tang Zhao said "Ah?" and said: "That's great. It was so chaotic last night. There were enemies, bugs, and big spiders. I was chased everywhere..."
He stopped talking about it here. He hasn't made up a whole set of experiences that can be told to others. Even if he did, he wouldn't have to lie to Wei Changle.
In fact, there is really no need to lie, just leave out the second half of the experience.
But the District Prosecution Department wants to report that it's safe, right?
And that magic weapon... where is it?
Tang Zhao suddenly remembered that magic weapon. It was not his property and should be returned. He was so confused before going to bed that he forgot where he put the sword and hurriedly got up and opened the bed to look for it.
Wei Changle was confused when he saw him fussing around. He almost thought that Tang Zhao was looking for his lost brain again, and asked, "What are you looking for? Let me help you look for it?"
Tang Zhao hurriedly said: "A sword, a short sword..."
Wei Changle helped him lift the bed sheet and found it under the bed sheet.
He couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Brother Zhao, if you stretch your legs while sleeping, you might escape this time because of your disability..." He picked up the sword.
…
Tang Zhao put his finger on his head and murmured: "Did I forget something?"
Oh yes!
The judge seemed to have given him something yesterday, a centipede?
Good guy, let the bug sleep in the same bed with him all night!
He found the centipede from under the quilt. It was a foot long. If you look closely during the day, it didn't look like a centipede. It looked like an insect like a centipede with many legs.
This bug was big and disgusting. If it hadn't been for a night of visual bombardment, he would have thrown it aside long ago. Now that his threshold has improved, he can still look at the bug carefully.
There was a gash on the insect's back, and there were obscure fluctuations in the crack that disturbed his spirit.
The sword mark is a magic weapon.
There was also such a mark on the long-life locking device that Xingji gave to Tang Zhao, and it recovered after being released. The mark on the insect's back is also very short, accounting for only one-third of the insect's back. It is likely that it was consumed.
.
Tang Zhao took out his glasses and looked at the insect.
"Surgical weapon: middle grade"
Medium grade?
Is this a good-quality magic weapon?
"Yuanli: light
Technique: Not Stiff (1/3)
Substrate: Inferior ferocious beast, Black Centipede"
Is this bug still a ferocious beast? It is far worse than the spider ancestor. No wonder it is inferior and can only end up in the soup pot.
This is not stiff because...
He continued to stare at the word "Bu Zheng", and sure enough, another comment came out.
"No stiffness, get rid of the out-of-control state, forcibly restore consciousness and mobility. Symbol:..."
There are a lot of explanations on how to express this "skill" using talismans, which is equivalent to a heavenly book for Tang Zhao. But he understood the first sentence. The skill of not freezing is to relieve the abnormal state. As long as you don't die, you will not
controlled.
No wonder Sun Sheng was knocked unconscious by himself and could still hear Si Liyu's words. The judge tapped his acupuncture points and was able to relieve himself. It turned out that he relied on the power of the magic weapon.
"The centipede is dead but not stiff."
Having said that, it is obvious that a mere magic weapon cannot guarantee "death but not stiffness", but it is already very good if it can guarantee "not death but not stiffness".
This is a very practical magic weapon, although it seems that there is only one chance left.
It seems like I haven't forgotten about this magic weapon...
"Brother Zhao!"
???
!!!
Tang Zhao stared at Wei Changle who suddenly appeared, then glanced at the magic weapon that had just been placed on the bed, and asked in surprise: "What's going on?"
Wei Changle said: "I should ask you? What's going on? You suddenly sat on the bed and talked to yourself, and you ignored me when I asked you. What's wrong with you? What's wrong with me?"
Tang Zhao couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he thought about that scene, and his whole body became hairy, saying: "Wait a minute...it's true that the effect of the magic weapon is correct, but the magic weapon should be ineffective!"
…
On this day, neither Guan Lei nor the Grape Court teacher came back. Tang Zhao exercised by himself for a day. I don’t know if it was because of his psychology, but he always felt that the atmosphere in the villa had changed, and the already ubiquitous sense of depression became even stronger.
In particular, the faces of the gray-clothed disciples in the Grape Courtyard were even more ugly, as if they had been bankrupted by loans overnight and seemed to want to fight with everyone.
Several people walked past him in a hurry, and Tang Zhao vaguely heard words such as "not many days left," "evaluation in advance," and "the loss is too great."
It seems that Black Spider Villa has suffered a lot of losses this time, and the backup students in these vineyards have to make up for it in advance.
In the evening, Tang Zhao carried the half-used magic weapon to the playground as usual, wanting to see if Si Liyu was coming.
Si Liyu didn't come, but a female military attache from the Prosecution Department came. She was in her mid-twenties, wearing similar clothes to Si Liyu, and said, "If Si Fengwei can't come today, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to come in the future."
Tang Zhao was stunned for a moment before he thought that "Fengwei" probably meant Si Liyu's official position. He identified it carefully and vaguely remembered the appearance of this woman. She was the military attache who first pretended to be a maid last night and then surrounded and suppressed the giant spider, and said
: "Are you Mai Qianhu? Teacher Si's class is over? I haven't said goodbye to him yet."
When the female military attache heard that Tang Zhao recognized her, she smiled and became a lot more friendly. She said, "It's me. I'm Mai Yitan. Your course might have been in one or two days, but Xiao Si was injured and needs to
After a few days of recuperation, it’s almost the critical period when you’re ready, let alone coming here. He also said that you have almost learned it, and told you to practice more frequently and not to slack off."
Tang Zhao was shocked and said: "Injured? Why is he injured? Didn't I see that he won last night?" He saw half of it and left last night, but when he left, it was clear that the overall situation was decided, so how could he be injured again in the blink of an eye?
Mai Qianhu wrote lightly: "Xiao Si asked you to watch the battle? You didn't watch the whole story. In the end, the phantom used a trick to make the beast explode. That scene - it's okay if I didn't see it, and I didn't want to.
recall."
Tang Zhao asked anxiously: "Is the injury serious? Is there anything I can do to help?"
Mai Qianhu said: "It's not a serious injury. Even if it is seriously injured, there are still guards here. Where can you be used?" After saying that, he took out three wooden swords and handed them to him. He smiled and said, "Tang Zhao, let me see the guards.
Both the envoy and Si Fengwei like you very much. I think your talent and character are not bad. You have to work hard in these half months and don't be stingy with resources. If you pass this test, the good days are yet to come."
Tang Zhao took it, remembered something, and said: "I don't know if it's still useful, but the original poster's anomaly is hidden in his hair. There's a white hair that's wrong. It might be a magic weapon or a magic weapon, but I didn't take a closer look."
Mai Qianhu muttered: "That's it, let's check." He also explained, "Although the people who were attacked did not catch the spider beast, their end was not good. Master Tao was captured alive by the Iron Scorpion Castle. Later we took him
He intercepted it and hid it in the villa."
So he was captured by you instead?
Mai Qianhu said: "It seems that there is a swordsman behind him. This is not good. The task will be much more difficult."
Tang Zhao then presented the magical weapon in a box and said: "Yesterday, this thing suddenly failed and left me halfway. However, it took a lot of effort to escape."
Mai Qianhu laughed and said: "That's really unfortunate. This is a magic weapon. It cannot be used by anyone like a magical weapon. It needs corresponding sword control skills to activate it, otherwise it will become useless after a while. We didn't expect you to hold it like this."
How long?"
Tang Zhao confirmed: "Is it necessary to control swordsmanship? If you don't know how to control swordsmanship, it is absolutely impossible to achieve that effect?"
Mai Qianhu said: "It's not absolutely impossible. If you are particularly suitable for the swordsmanship here, you can directly exert the effect. Do you have this ability?"
Tang Zhao shook his head and Mai Qianhu said: "It would be great if there was one. It means you have found the direction of the sword. Even if this sword already has an owner, you can choose a sword with the same direction in the future. It is much better than looking for a needle in a haystack and waiting for favor.
You must know that there are many talented people in the Prosecution Department. Whoever finds his or her direction first will have the upper hand and have a bright future."
Tang Zhao asked further: "Is everyone's direction innate? Is it only related to talent? How to test it?"
Mai Qianhu said: "Well, it's mainly about talent, but it's also related to personality, desire and even sword-driving skills. The test is very complicated. When you enter the inspection department, there will be a set of tests, but they may not be accurate. Our testing methods are constantly improving.
Now it is second to none, but the field of swords is unfathomable and cannot be perfect. The broader and common directions are easier to detect, but the competition will be more intense. And some off-beat directions are difficult to match, but once you have the opportunity, you can
Who else would it be?" She touched her waist, where a sword was also hanging.
Tang Zhao suddenly realized, went back to Wei Changle, told the situation one by one, and asked: "Do you want to tell the Prosecution Department about your talent?"
Wei Changle hesitated and said nothing.
Tang Zhao then analyzed: "If you say so, maybe the Land Inspection Department will directly hire you. I think it has a brighter future than Black Spider Villa. However, there are dangers. There is a disaster in front of us, and there happens to be a magic weapon here. Say
Maybe I’ll push you to put it on the shelves.”
Wei Changle pondered again and again, then raised his head and said: "Brother Zhao, please take me to meet the Lords of the Prosecution Department. I don't want to stay at Black Spider Villa."
Tang Zhao understood that if people don’t want to associate with insects, is there anything wrong with that?
He agreed immediately and said: "I will take you to see Teacher Si tomorrow."
After Tang Zhao left, Wei Changle relaxed and lay down on the bed. The relief after the surprise made him feel a little dazed, and he whispered softly: "Disappear? No one sees me, no one remembers me, no one needs me... That's exactly me.
want."
After confirming his friend's future, Tang Zhao rushed back to the house excitedly, then was so stunned that he almost dropped several of the magic tools he was holding on the ground.
Holding the instrument tightly, Tang Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "Why is it you again?"
