On the Maehama Beach of Miyakojima in the Ryukyu Islands, which is dyed like a dreamy scroll by the sunset,
Joyce stood on the soft beach, the sea breeze gently blowing her long hair, carrying a bit of the salty fragrance of the sea and the call of the distance.
The whole picture is beautiful,
But the homeless girl Norma felt a little helpless. After all, even though Joyce was not prepared at all, she could still say this with confidence, which made her admire her.
And her move made Qin couldn't help but hold her forehead. The short girl really didn't expect this energetic girl to be so confident.
It's just that now that it's all here, there's nothing left to make up for.
You can't just open it up directly.
So the short girl just turned her gaze to Triss who was standing at the front:
"But do we really want to go to Lorenzril from here?
Miss Triss?"
Hearing her question, the eldest lady who formerly mourned Huey Fall gently shook her head:
“To, you mean the border gate?
No,
It's not here.
And our purpose today is not to go directly to Lorenzril, I just want to bring you to meet my teacher.
Joyce is right,
Even if you fail to pass the exam, I still have the ability to let you enroll as a special admissions student through other means.
Moreover, under the reminder of Mr. Rhine, Saint Huey Farr still retained a large number of effective forces.
As the guardian of the Holy See's necropolis on the Pacific border, you don't have to worry, no one will dare to gossip."
Triss's last words even had a sense of calm oppression.
Perhaps the fall of St. Huy Farr,
It made her grow a lot.
This little girl, who is only a teenager, is gradually taking over some of the pressure from her father.
But when Miss Joyce heard this, she hugged her around several times happily, and her clear cheers echoed in the sea breeze:
"Yeah!"
Of course, this joy did not last long, and she soon became very interested in the teacher mentioned by Tris:
"Then who is your teacher?"
Triss felt that having such a friend would always put her in a good mood, and suddenly she was no longer under so much pressure, so she just smiled and turned her attention to the beach shrouded in the sunset again.
Then he slowly said:
"She was the former Vice President of Huey Farr,
Alayana - Loefat.
Two years ago, she chose to retire, somewhere near here."
As Triss finished speaking, everyone looked around, trying to find the legendary rune master on this beautiful beach.
The setting sun is like blood, dyeing the sky brilliantly and deeply, and the waves gently lap on the beach, making a sweet sound.
But except for some tourists here,
It doesn't look like a place where a fourth-level transcendent lives in seclusion.
However, just as the setting sun was about to sink into the sea level, a faint light flickered on the top of the mountain in the distance.
Everyone looked along the light and saw a not-so-huge modern villa standing on the top of the mountain, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding natural environment.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the outline of the villa looks both mysterious and solemn.
"It's still the same style. No wonder I'm asked to come here at this time."
Triss couldn't help but shook her head,
"That is the residence of my teacher, Rune Master Alayana."
Forty minutes later, the setting sun poured down like molten gold, and the last ray of light on the horizon struggled to prevent it from sinking completely into the horizon.
And in this gorgeous but fleeting light, a group of people hurried to a building that was about to disappear in the night.
This building seems to be gently embraced by the afterglow of the setting sun, but gradually blurs between the interplay of light and shadow.
certainly,
Even if no one noticed, the area was still surrounded by iron fences.
That is the power of Runes.
And a woman in simple clothes and gentle temperament was carefully arranging the flowers and plants around her.
Her movements were elegant and calm, as if she were isolated from the world.
It wasn't until Triss hurriedly walked in that this gardener-like woman slowly raised her head, with a hint of gentle apology in her eyes:
"Sorry, Triss.
I didn't arrive in time for the disaster that befell Huey Farr.
How is the old dean doing now?"
But hearing her concern, Triss's expression showed a hint of relief:
"My father is currently in stable condition.
Dean Anta is taking care of him.
I believe that after a period of cultivation, he should be able to wake up."
Finished speaking,
She paused for a moment,
Then he continued to ask straight to the point:
"So teacher, what do you want me to do next?"
Alaiana gently raised her hand and motioned them to sit down on the bench beside her, with a faint smile on her lips:
"You kid, you are always so impatient.
but,
What happened next was truly extraordinary.
Originally, Chief Dean Constance planned to divide the test into several sessions.
But based on my judgment, he is likely to replace the test content with [Border—Azure Sea: Wall of Hercules’.]
Not only may it be bordered by the Fifth Age ruins left by the remnants of Atlantis,
Moreover, although the range of its spiritual power is limited to the highest second level, which is the level that instructors can reach, the danger involved cannot be underestimated."
"The Wall of Hercules?"
Qin repeated this unfamiliar term, and a vague memory seemed to flash through her mind.
That is an ancient record about the Third Age and the specific details are difficult to verify.
Seeing this, Alayana patiently explained:
“In a modern context, if the Pillars of Hercules symbolize the national emblem of Spain and the gateway to the New World,
Then the Wall of Hercules,
It is the boundary barrier between the Pacific Ocean and the border.
There, there is hidden a piece of ‘history’ belonging to the drifters, as well as the abyssal aftermath of the Black Sea War in Istanbul.”
Hearing that this entrance exam might involve abyss pollution, Triss and Qin looked at each other with a little nervousness in their eyes:
"What about us?"
"If Constance needs you to obtain the border relics as proof,
Just do what you can.”
There was a hint of calm rejection in Alayana's words,
"He was already dissatisfied with the chaos within Laurenzril.
But even though the Star Mage can roam the [Golden Level] galaxy, he is still not ruthless enough!
Therefore, after the Southeast Asian Kuroshio Extraordinary Crisis and the Hueyfar Border War, two disasters that almost erupted from within,
He decided to complete the thorough cleansing with this [Enrollment Day] assessment that seems to be open to most forces."
"Will it be effective?"
Triss was a little unwilling.
But her teacher shook his head:
“There will definitely be an effect, but it will definitely not be what Constance expected.
so,
I hope you can help me with my research.
Where I want to find other than holding on to the [City of Breezes] Storm Barrier and escaping,
