Extraordinary Puppet Master

While Carlin was on his way to the tavern to inquire, Charles, who had returned to the Princess Carmen and made careful preparations, also came to the fifth floor where first-class passengers lived.

After he stepped onto the fifth floor wearing armor and carrying a two-handed sword on his back, Ciel felt that he was dazzled.

The roads here are wide and clean, and all you can see are mansions with their own gardens. Occasionally, you will pass by a quiet grove.

The most luxurious villa in the Central District of the Steam City in his memory could only be regarded as inferior here, and would not be worthy of mentioning at all.

The people who live here are either rich or noble. They are either wealthy nobles or core members of various powerful extraordinary organizations.

Even Connor, a wealthy man who ranks among the top in the Central District, is considered very humble here in terms of status. He can't even get a second-class ticket, let alone a first-class one that can live in five-story mansions. Voted.

Ciel smacked his tongue in his heart as he walked through a forest through a tree-lined path, and his vision suddenly opened up.

I saw a tall stone arch standing about fifty meters away.

Behind the arch was a gorgeous garden, in which various rare and precious ornamental plants that he could not recognize were planted. Behind it was a magnificent palace and castle.

The majestic castle made Charles feel great pressure. He thought to himself: "Is this the palace of the eldest prince Richard on the fifth floor?"

Ciel tried hard to calm down his mind and returned his gaze to the arch.

He always kept his mission in mind. Carlin said that he could choose any one of the three princes, so Charles came to the eldest prince Richard to try it first.

I saw two rows of soldiers in neat uniforms guarding loyally in front of the arch, and a large number of extraordinary people in the square in front of the arch.

These are extraordinary people who come here to join Richard's command, and there are dedicated personnel in the square to receive them.

Charles took a look and saw that there were long queues in front of several wooden tables. If you wanted to queue up, you would probably have to wait for several hours.

Taking a deep breath, he gradually approached the stone arch with steady steps. Just as Charles was thinking about how to avoid queuing, a harsh sound suddenly came from the noisy crowd.

"That's not fair!

What potential does that guy who has never even passed the growth stage have? In a real battle, I can easily kill five of these guys by myself! "

But before Ciel could figure out what was going on, another powerful aura immediately rose up.

After a muffled bang, a figure suddenly flew out of the crowd. It fell to the ground like a broken sack and rolled for a distance. After rolling to Ciel's feet, he fainted.

In an instant, the messy market-like square became quiet. The crowd automatically separated into a passage, and a short-haired and heroic man in a red uniform, who looked to be in his mid-twenties, slowly walked out.

With every step he took, the nearby transcendent also took a step back, fearing that he would follow in the footsteps of the idiot before.

Ciel quickly guessed what was going on.

It was nothing more than that after the guy who was knocked away before was directly turned away, he saw that a rookie who was even in the probationary growth stage could successfully join, so he yelled unconvinced.

Thinking of this, Ciel shook his head in his mind. If he wanted to cause trouble, he didn't even look at the place. This was not a job market, and he could act wildly as he pleased.

He even felt that if he didn't want the eldest prince's palace to be stained with blood, the short-haired man would not just knock him out with one blow, but might directly kill him.

The short-haired man just glanced disdainfully at the guy lying on the ground, then glanced around again. When his eyes came to other extraordinary people, he quickly looked away and did not dare to look at them.

When the short-haired man saw this, he sneered and said, "It's really getting worse every day. Only one person passed the exam in eight hours today. They are all trash without self-awareness!"

All the extraordinary people who came to apply for the job were immediately furious when they heard that they were called useless, but considering the other party's strong strength, they only dared to be angry and dare not speak out.

After sensing their looks, the short-haired man sneered disdainfully, casually took out a metal rod as thick as a child's arm from his storage equipment and brushed it into the ground.

The nearly two-meter-long metal rod was half-submerged into the hard stone ground. The extraordinary people who saw this scene took a breath.

The floor of the square in front of the arch of the Grand Prince's Palace is made of special materials, which are extremely hard. The short-haired man easily inserted the metal rod deeply into the ground with just a casual throw.

The short-haired man sneered and said: "I know that many people who call you trash must be dissatisfied.

But the fact is that you have neither strength nor potential, and there is nothing outstanding in fields other than combat. If you are really talented, you would have passed the test and entered the manor long ago, so why are you still waiting in line now?

Okay, aren’t you dissatisfied? Then let’s use our strength to speak.

This metal rod is a tool used by His Highness's trainee soldiers to test their strength.

Now use your best methods to attack this metal rod with all your strength. As long as you can leave a trace, I will pronounce on the spot that he will immediately pass and become a member of His Royal Highness the Prince! "

Immediately, a burly man with a strong physique stood up.

"I'll go first!"

He was seen holding a two-meter-long sword in both hands, and he swung it hard at the metal rod. He was sure that he would use all his strength to fight the blow.

clang--

However, after a crisp sound, not to mention leaving traces on the metal rod, it didn't even tremble. The blow just now seemed to be just an itch.

The short-haired man laughed and said, "Why, haven't you eaten? You only have this little strength?"

The strong man's face suddenly turned red, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he left here dejectedly.

The others looked at me and I looked at you. There was silence for a while, and no one dared to step forward to attack the metal rod.

The strong man before was obviously a trainee-level transcendent who had gone through the growth period for a long time. He could break through to the professional level as long as he performed the promotion ceremony, and he was known for his strength.

Others can't guarantee how much stronger their attack will be than the opponent's all-out blow just now.

The scene fell into silence for a moment, and no one came out after waiting for a while.

Seeing that no one dared to go forward, the short-haired man suddenly turned his attention to Charles, who had already blended into the crowd. His expression obviously softened, and he said with a friendly face: "My friend, why don't you come and give it a try?"

In an instant, everyone else also turned their attention to Ciel, showing doubtful expressions. They did not feel that this armored warrior was much stronger than themselves.

Ciel, who was watched by everyone, smiled and accepted the other party's invitation: "Then I will give it a try."

After saying that, he dragged the big sword with one hand and stepped forward quickly, and a flash of sword light flashed by.

The other extraordinary beings only heard a click, and the metal rod became shorter in response.

Everyone rubbed their eyes. They didn't even notice when the other party took action.

"good!"

The short-haired man's eyes lit up and he couldn't help shouting "Hello".

Charles just showed a proud smile, but before he could say anything, the short-haired man suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and swung it forward.

With a sharp sound, the actual sword light separated from the sword body and struck quickly towards Ciel.
