By the time Hero walked back to the dormitory, the temperature inside his robe was already scalding his skin.
He took out the coin from his pocket with his hands covered with black water. The hot temperature was isolated, but the strange smile on it seemed to remind Hero.
'The test is coming!'
"The Smiling Moon Group...a secret organization, has only been an apprentice for three years, is it already going through a test? It's a little too fast."
Hero frowned, and the censor's subtle reminder clearly meant that he owned the coin.
This also means that she may be a member of the Smiling Moon Group.
No...it's not possible, she is.
No wonder the first apprentice to be interrogated named him.
If there was to be a trial, Byrne should be the one behind him.
But after him, the examiner directly ignored Byrne's companion, and subsequent interrogations were conducted entirely in the order of the team.
This closed interrogation was intentional!
In an instant, Hero figured out the trick.
Damn it!
No wonder she sent out a severed hand in the beginning.
The implication contained in the previous words is that the identification of the sealing layer only needs to be handled by the severed hand.
This way of notifying the test is really...
It's unique.
Almost most organizations in the tower have arrogant capital. They wander between the power of the tower and the empire's territory, and the interests hidden in the dark are huge.
They are like giants sheltering under a high tower.
Its mammoth extent is far beyond the imagination of apprentices.
It is precisely because of this that they disdain to examine and recruit apprentices before they have grown into level magicians.
They wait for the new magicians to arrive with a superior attitude. At that time, they will issue the assessment that needs to be completed.
This was also the reason why the instructor reminded him not to be so anxious.
A small number of organizations will scout outstanding apprentices in advance and promise benefits in advance to attract them to join the organization.
But this is only a minority. Most of these organizations are not strong and their influence is not wide.
After all, no apprentice who can survive to the later stage is a fool.
They hold the right to sell at a price.
But the smiling moon represented by the coin in front of him really opened Hero's eyes.
How can any organization start conducting assessments after three years of apprenticeship?
The future is still long!
Who knows how many rounds of assessments there will be.
Nine-nine-eighty-one is difficult?
If you have this ability, why should I look at your face?
Now……
I'm so new here!
"So...this is forcing me to go back."
The lord's strange behavior, the black thread that goes nowhere, and the truth that Ms. Palin conceals.
Even this Smiling Moon Group is so confident, and it comes to test me during my apprenticeship?
No... maybe they don't care at all. Magicians with the highest soul level don't care about the life or death of an apprentice.
Only by completing the test alive and successfully breaking through can you have the opportunity to join them.
"Huh~ You didn't take me seriously."
Hero removed the black water's protection and directly grasped the still-hot coin with his hand.
A burning smell soon spread from the fingers.
There are also some skin and flesh adhesions on the coins.
…
"What? You said you want to go back?"
Byrne stood at the door of the dormitory and looked at Holo in surprise, who had already packed his things.
The loud sound immediately attracted the apprentices walking around.
Realizing something was inappropriate, Byrne quickly lowered his volume and asked in a low voice.
"Did you leave something there? You still have to go to such a dangerous place. Tell me what you want, and I'll ask you for it!"
"No."
"Then why are you going? Why haven't I seen you have a dissolute heart before?"
Having mastered the unique grenade technology before, Hero turned directly from an adventurer to an entrepreneur. He no longer had to compete with those stupid guys to grab mission bounties. He could also choose to gain experience.
At that time, it was normal to stay peacefully in the tower for several months without going out.
But now only two days have passed since the apprentice level was unblocked.
Byrne couldn't figure out why Hero would go back to that ghost place again.
"The organization needs me."
"Gah?"
Byrne, who had not yet come into contact with the Tower Organization, did not react at all.
Holo didn't explain too much.
This time he took all his belongings with him.
The entire iron ant tribe brought them with him, and for this reason he also sold two tree hearts in exchange for a picture frame pseudo-horcrux that could carry them.
It was with great difficulty that they were included in the world of the painting.
The number of times this pseudo-horcrux has been used is unknown, and it might collapse the next time it is stored.
But most of the goods on the market can be carried for two or three times, so they are still very expensive.
A whole tree heart!
He didn't know how long he would stay when he went out this time. In order to prevent the little ant queen's newly established colony from starving to death, the money had to be paid.
"Are you really going? Alone?"
"Well, I have to give it a try."
"What if I can't come back?"
"Hey, don't curse me."
"wait for me a while."
Hero saw that Byrne was no longer as optimistic as usual, and his brows were furrowed just like him.
After closing the door, Hero didn't care where he went, turned around and walked in the direction of Ms. Palin's office.
At this time, it should be tea time.
"Gah? Little Hero! Are you here?"
Before he even reached the door, Hero saw Pierce standing on the doorframe. His stinky tone made it seem like he was waiting for him.
"Is Ms. Palin here?"
"No, the fat woman asked me to wait for you here. I don't know where to go to have afternoon tea. I'm so angry! You didn't even take me with you!"
Pierce opened his beak and spit out a bag of seeds.
"Wait for me? She knows I'm coming?"
Hero took the bag, and the life breath of the seeds inside spurted out from the mouth of the bag in an instant.
"Don't ask me if you don't know. I have to ask her for payment. If you really want me to give you this little thing, why don't you find a rose elf to take it to you?"
After delivering the things, Pierce went straight into the window next to him without looking back and disappeared into the moonlight.
Hero counted the seeds in the bag carefully. There were nine seeds in total. He didn't know what would grow.
But now it seems that Ms. Palin obviously does not want to see him. If these seeds were handed over to her by her, they are probably rose seeds.
"I don't even want to meet. Did I receive the notice in advance? I really... have to rely on myself."
Although I don't know what the seeds are used for, it can be considered to be some help.
Ms. Palin, the loving apprentice.
Hero put away the seeds and turned around to go to the tower map target sales office.
Sure enough, as he had guessed, there was still one target key to the snowfield.
The previous announcement said that all targets at the apprentice level and the academy were closed, but in the end, a back door was opened for me.
The energy of the Smiling Moon Group cannot be underestimated.
The hands can be stretched so long, and every step is planned by them.
But Hero doesn’t have to worry about that.
He smiled lightly and inserted the key into a door.
As the soul coin is put in, the blue fluorescence lights up.
But at this moment, a hand was placed on Holo's shoulder, and a burst of rough breath blew by his ear.
"You told me to wait for me, why didn't you listen? Without my chicken-footed monster house, how could you escape alive?"
