Without outsiders, the censor's robe began to squirm, and the moment it was lifted by the wind, the black mist hidden underneath was revealed, as well as...several severed hands.
"this is for you."
A dazzling gold coin tumbled up from a severed hand, spun several times in the air and landed in the palm of Hero's hand.
Hero's soul energy touched the gold coin, the golden light flickered, and an indescribable aura spurted out from the gold coin and washed over his body.
In an instant, it was like soaking in a hot spring in winter, and the fatigue all over my body was washed away.
The shreds of flesh hidden under the skin seemed to have been given medicine, squirming crazily to repair the broken corners.
But what it consumes is not his soul energy, and the originally heavy and unadapted soul also rests at this moment.
A smile appeared on Hero's face.
Bashi is very good!
"Do you still have this stuff?"
He is greedy.
This thing is much better than ordinary potions.
The breath quickly dissipated after soothing Hero's body and soul.
He didn't know if it was consumed or if it was scattered in the void. Helo just felt refreshed and did not investigate the source and whereabouts.
Hero held the gold coin and looked at both sides. The pattern on it was exactly the same as the silver coin, the same smiling moon.
The only difference is that the materials of the two are different. The one in your hand is much nobler visible to the naked eye.
The examiner twitched the corners of his cold mouth in a sneer, laughing at Hero's idea.
"Haha, just this one. This is the certificate of completion of the assessment. Although it helps you heal your body once, the meaning it represents is more precious. Keep it well. If you are lucky enough to officially join the organization in the future, it can help
You get more benefits in exchange.”
The ability to heal the soul and body at the same time without any restrictions is extremely precious no matter where you are.
"Then this counts as me completing an assessment? How many times can I officially join the organization?"
"Not sure. The purpose of completing the assessment is to show your value. The important thing is to let them see it."
The censor stretched out a severed hand on his shoulder, raised his index finger and gestured upward.
"Don't think too much during the apprenticeship stage. Just like this time, although I gave you gold coins to represent the completion of the assessment, there are still some people in the organization who feel that the completion of this incident is not up to standard, and even... they proposed to clean you up.
Lose."
"Huh? Clean up? Who?"
"I don't know, don't ask me, even if I know I don't dare to tell you. As for the rest, wait until you break through to the level of magician and prove your worth before you consider it.
But someone vouched for you and thought you performed very well. How can I put it, the attitudes of the two parties are very extreme and the polarization is very serious."
"Prove value..."
Hero held the gold coin and thought for a long time.
‘Is it because the exposure of the pollution source caused some people in the top management to become afraid? Some people thought they could control me, so they didn’t clean it up.
It should be the Golden Sheep, he knew it in advance... It seems that the organization is not as peaceful as it appears, and where there are many factions, there is competition.'
"Then you came here this time just to give me this gold coin? Just a voucher shouldn't be worth the big risk for you to enter the apprentice level, right?"
The main body of the tower is like an emotionless mechanical intelligence core, and the underlying logic will not change because of a certain magician.
Even if the examiner comes from the most mysterious organization in [Moon Tower], once the tower discovers that he has violated the rules and sneaked into the apprentice level, he will still be punished and tried.
Knowing the law and breaking the law may result in an additional penalty.
"You are smart. After all, the factions above are their business and have nothing to do with little people like us. Although I don't know what you are hiding to make them afraid, the person above me still plans to give you some small rewards.
.”
These words made Hero surprised and startled.
"Is there any reward?"
"Of course, you don't think that the top management will really be stingy with rewards. You catch their eye, whether it's good or bad. Since someone guarantees it, it means they have reached an agreement, and they are willing to give up this reward. Chapter 1
How does it feel to experience tower time for once?"
As the examiner explained, his severed hand pulled out a treasure chest from the black mist beneath him.
"It's... not bad. There were many surprises in the incident, and overall it was beyond my ability to deal with it. In the final analysis, I was lucky, otherwise it would be difficult to come back alive. I even feel that everything I experienced was deliberately arranged by someone."
Holo squinted his eyes and looked at the treasure box pulled out of the black mist, thinking about how many things could be hidden in the black mist. When he came back to his senses, he saw the examiner's eyes changed, and he responded:
"It really is?"
"Of course, the test is just a trial. Your strength is not worthy of letting them arrange a certain death situation."
The words "unworthy" deeply hurt Hero's heart.
But he also knew that this was the case.
The incident that finally led the tower to dispatch the cult will be recorded in the library archives.
Maybe he, Hero, can also appear in an epic record.
The treasure chest that fell to the ground looked very strange, with its simple and old appearance as if it had just been dug out of a cellar that had never seen the light of day.
The off-white suede is covered with dust, and the black iron frame is also rusty. Only the lock in the middle looks new.
"Open it and take a look. I'm also curious about what kind of reward they will give you. Maybe I can get a glimpse of the secret. I'm really curious!" A severed hand climbed to Hero's shoulder, and the examiner's cold and playful voice said
It seems to be coming from here.
"How to open it? I don't have the key." Hero squatted down, looked at the keyhole, then raised his head and spread his hands.
"have no idea."
"Don't know? You gave this to me, don't you know?"
"Then what's the matter? The tower collected tens of millions of things during the Great Crusade, and they are all kinds of strange things. I can't even count these types of treasure chests that are similar, let alone the ones with different lock cores? I haven't encountered them either.
However, think about it yourself, they will not give you useless things, they will always suit you."
"Useless things... let me think about it." Holo frowned and kept thinking.
Soul energy? He gathered a trace of tentative energy and entered the keyhole.
useless……
Pollutants?
With the help of the cover of soul energy, a trace of black water was hidden under the fingers and entered the keyhole.
useless……
What exactly is it?
What else do they know about themselves?
"Baby, come here."
Hero waved his hand and summoned the soul beast lying on the edge of the crystal bucket.
"Guji?"
"This hole, stick it in and try it!"
"Gooji!"
The examiner on the side held his forehead, closed his eyes and sighed.
How could I meet such a stupid junior?
"It's moving! But not completely?"
After inserting his tentacle into the keyhole, Hero noticed that the keyhole of the box was pulled a little, but it soon reached the limit and stopped moving.
It's like a key that can be completely turned if it only needs a suitable tooth.
The reviewer reminded on the side: "It means it has the same characteristics as your soul beast, and it is most likely in your soul."
Since it is not soul energy, it has nothing to do with the soul circuit.
What else is there in your soul?
【distortion】!
"It seems that you have thought of it, and you are not stupid. Congratulations! You almost became the first magician who couldn't open the reward!"
"Stop teasing me, I don't believe there are so many rewards in the tower, and there are no puzzles to unlock them."
"At least I haven't encountered one before. Drive quickly and let me have a look."
"This...isn't good, after all, it's my privacy."
"I don't care, just don't beg me when the time comes." The examiner returned to his cold expression.
Holo muttered, "Just kidding."
The activation of the characteristic caused the space around Hero's finger to distort and become void, and the black light turned into a key.
Click!
The treasure chest was shaken from the ground, fell to the ground and shook again. Along with an awkward creaking sound, an old and dilapidated smell came from the open gap.
Buzz!
The twisting power that Holo inserted into the lock cylinder was inexplicably swallowed up in an instant, and from the gap when the box was opened, the power that disturbed the space rushed out.
The air around the box began to twist, and Hero's robe was pulled, with the hem being torn first.
Immediately afterwards, the surrounding debris shifted. Fortunately, it was relatively far away, so it was no longer affected after a slight movement.
The severed hand on Holo's shoulder pressed down on the box that was about to be fully opened with lightning speed, closing it.
"Huh ~ thank you very much!"
"The bosses won't be so kind. If you fight against this thing by yourself, you might be in trouble."
Hero finally broke free from the vortex-like suction and fell to the floor, but he was still very happy.
This kind of performance means there is good stuff inside.
"Thank you. I'll do the rest."
After thanking him again, Hero tried to suppress it.
Under the amplification effect of [Exponential Explosion], Helokankan used the same characteristic [Distortion] to suppress the power in the box. Fortunately, his power did not last long. After simple suppression, the resistance was obviously weakened a lot, and then
The contents lying in the box were exposed to view.
