The Dean Has Arrived

Three small figures emerged from the bushes in a state of embarrassment.

Little chubby Tanis was sweating profusely, panting heavily, and went directly to the fairly flat ground: "No...fufu...I can't...run anymore..."

"Bah bah," Kamiyu spat out the leaves in his mouth, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked back nervously: "Those things didn't catch up?"

"I don't know." Compared with the two partners, Riddle, who grew up in the countryside, seemed much calmer. While picking off the leaves from his head and neck, he listened intently, and only after a while did he answer definitively. : "There is no movement, it seems that it should have been thrown away by us."

Hearing what Riddle said, Kamiyu also let out a long breath, and sat down on the ground full of fallen leaves to rest.

"Speaking of which, I remember that it was written in the textbook that the goblins are allies of human beings, one of the members of the Pan-Human Alliance, right?" After calming down, Kamiyu was free to think about other things: "Then why are those goblins chasing after us?" We won't let it go? That vicious look doesn't look like he wants to invite us to eat."

"Because those are black goblins." Tanis finally managed to catch his breath, sat up from the ground, and slapped off the bugs that crawled on his clothes - two days ago, even the little fat man would be terrified to see these bugs, But now I'm almost used to it...

"Black Goblin? What's that?" Kamiyu and Riddle looked at the little fat man curiously.

"Are you all sleeping during the monster knowledge class..."

Tanis said something angrily, and then explained: "Black goblins are a subspecies of goblins, and their strength is second only to bear goblins among goblin-like creatures... Well, although ten black goblins combined Not enough bear goblins, but that's what it is. They are greedy and brutal, have low intelligence, and like to attack weak-looking creatures. There are also rumors that black goblins are actually just ordinary goblins infected by the abyssal demon breath. Anyway, in short, they Just not a nice guy."

"According to the records in the Monster Encyclopedia, the black goblin's subjugation level is about level 3, and there is a correction of plus or minus 2 depending on the individual's strength and armed level, but I am more concerned about it." Tanis fluttered as he talked eloquently. A perplexed expression appeared on his chubby face: "Black goblins are the same as bear goblins. Generally, the number of goblins moving at the same time should be between one and three. This time we encountered a number close to thirty, which is really abnormal! "

"No matter what..." Kamiyu supported a bush, stood up with a bang, and looked into the distance: "We must work hard to pass this trial."

Riddle and Tanis followed his gaze, with yearning expressions on their faces.

Through the thinning canopy of trees, one can vaguely see the pillars piercing into the sky in the east.

Ryder's Pillar.

After Edric's students enter the trial gate, they will appear in the center of this floor, and then they have to choose one of the four directions in the south, east, north and west, formulate their own route, pass through many difficulties and obstacles, and finally reach the four directions. Any of the Pillars of Root. Only by touching the Leder's Pillar can the content of the trial be considered complete.

And the three of them chose the east side, plus there were too many side roads, and they were separated from the main force as they walked-in fact, they still maintain the largest team, with only about ten people.

Although he was chased by the black goblin, his schedule was unexpectedly accelerated. According to this progress, it would take at most two or three days to complete the trial.

"Okay, it's almost time to rest, let's continue!" Kamiyu patted off the leaves on his body, and said with pride: "The target is the Pillar of Ryder!"

"Oh no!"

ten minutes later.

"I... can't do it anymore..."

Tanis lay down on the ground, his eyes began to cloud.

"No, you'll be fine!" Kamiyu yelled sadly from the side: "Quickly stand up!"

Little Fatty turned his head with difficulty and looked at Kamiyu: "I didn't expect...that at the end of my life...the one beside me is actually you..."

"Don't give up! Now is not the time to give up!"

"Hmph...although I'm not reconciled...after I die, you must bury my body...under the pine tree beside the Kash Bay in my hometown..." Tanis tremblingly looked at Kami You stretched out his right hand and solemnly confessed: "Write on my epitaph...'He continued to move towards the goal unswervingly until the end...until starving to death on the way'."

"So if you're just hungry, don't act like you're about to die!"

As soon as Kamiyu grabbed Tanis's hand, he threw it forcefully, flipping the little fat man over, making him almost buried by fallen leaves.

"It's so loud! I haven't eaten for twelve hours since I was born!"

"Isn't it just right to lose a little weight at this time!"

While the two little guys were making noise, Riddle poked his head out from the canopy and pointed ahead: "There seems to be a village not far in that direction."

Tanis' eyes lit up immediately, and he yelled, 'Food——! ’ and ran in the direction Riddle pointed.

"Obviously just now he looked half-dead..."

Kamiyu looked at the back of the fat man leaving in the dust, and stroked his forehead helplessly.

"Shall we follow?" Riddle slid down from the tree trunk and asked Kamiyu.

"No way, I can't just leave the fat man there, I can only go and see." Kamiyu shrugged: "Besides, if it is really an ordinary village, wouldn't it just be used to collect information? "

After unifying their opinions, the two also set off to catch up with Tanis—although the temptation of food was strong, due to his size, even if Tanis ran with all his strength, he couldn't really throw Kamiyu and Riddle away. down far...

The village was not far from where the three of them were, and running shortened the journey time a lot. After more than ten minutes, the three of them arrived at the small village that Riddle saw from the top of the tree.

"Is this... a village of dwarves?" Kamiyu asked Tanis in confusion, looking at the villagers who were about his height but looked like adults in the village.

Tanis was not as comfortable as his two friends who ran so many miles. It took him several minutes to catch his breath: "It's not dwarves, these are halflings. You'd better keep your things safe."

"Halflings?" Riddle withdrew his curious eyes and asked, "Have you ever taught monster lore? Why haven't I heard of this race?"

"It's normal if you haven't heard of it. There are almost no halflings in the eastern plains, and they are only mentioned in the continental climate course... I remember that neither of you took the continental climate course?" Tanis glanced at two people. At one glance, Kamiyu and Riddle immediately looked away with a dry smile - for them, it is more practical to spend their time playing than spending time learning those courses.

"But how is their relationship with humans?" Seeing halfling villagers already looking at them, Kamiyu asked again. What attitude to use to treat the other party next depends on what the other party thinks of human beings.

"Although halflings have a bad habit of petty theft and short-sightedness, they have a good relationship with humans. It is said that in the era of great migration, people hired many halflings as scouts."

As he said that, Tanis nodded to those halflings and made an ancient noble salute.

Then those halflings left without looking back...

"...Is this what you said you have a good relationship?" Kamiyu looked at the empty village entrance and asked the embarrassed Tanis.

"There are always exceptions!"

Except that the meeting at the beginning was not pleasant, halflings are indeed not like orcs and elves, they are prejudiced against humans from the beginning - although Kamiyu always feels that those halflings seem to be looking at fat sheep all the time Looking at my group of people...

After spending a lot of coppers to buy a decent lunch in the restaurant, Kamiyu began to try to trick the halflings in the restaurant.

It's a pity that even Kamiyu, who has felt the warmth and warmth of human relationships since he was a child, and can understand the sophistication of human relationships, can't compare with those experienced and even rogue halflings in terms of experience. Useful information, but a lot of money wasted in vain.

"No, these guys are too crafty... Well, the sandwiches are good."

Kamiyu, who failed to achieve the intended goal, could only munch on the sandwich depressedly.

At this time, a figure wearing a red robe suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Halflings are born rogues, it's too early for you to try to trick them."

Riddle and Tanis were stunned when they saw that figure, and Kamiyu even choked.

After finally flushing the sandwich stuck in his throat with water, he pointed at the person in front of him and shouted in disbelief: "Red, red dog!"

"Who's the red dog! My name is Dorothy? Taylor, I'm a picket!"

The blond swiss roll girl in a red standard magic robe immediately frowned, she slapped the table and said loudly, the sandwiches, fries and chicken on the table were shaken up and down: "Do you have any questions?" Don't children even know my name!"

"That..." Tanis raised his hand and asked, "Does the problem child you mentioned include me?"

"That's not of course!" The little girl responded immediately.

"ouch!"

Tanis uttered a cry of unknown meaning as if he had been hit hard, and fell down on the table directly...

Camille and Riddle looked at each other, and then put their hands on their chests to make a pause gesture: "Okay, okay, Miss Dorothy..."

"Who allowed you to be so affectionate! Call me Taylor!"

The little girl put her hands on her hips and said domineeringly.

Seeing a well-shaped vein popping out of Kamiyu's head, Riddle hurriedly changed the topic to prevent Kamiyu from getting mad: "Why are you here, classmate Taylor?"

"Yeah, we haven't done anything wrong now, why do you want to follow?"

Kamiyu also asked in agreement.

"Who, who followed you! I just happened to pass by, pass by!"

Riddle didn't notice anything wrong, but Kamiyu was different. He had a smile on his face that made the girl inexplicably ashamed, and while he picked up a sandwich and chewed it, he said in an unmannered and old-fashioned way: "Gulu Heck, whoosh..."

"Swallow it down for me."

"..."

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Kamiyu returned to the previous expression again, and asked the little girl: "I remember you have always had a few followers? Where are they now?"

"Just, it's just that I came here to explore the way first, and they will come to meet up soon..." the girl hesitated, but it seems that the girl doesn't lie much, even the most innocent Riddle It can be seen that the other party is lying.

"Actually, did you get separated from your companion?" So Riddle asked sharply.

"No, no!" The girl was flushed red, shaking her head, her long blond hair was shaking with curls: "I am Dorothy? How could Taylor make such a low-level mistake!"

"Riddle, Fatty, let's go."

Kamiyu put down the things in his hands, stood up and walked out the door.

Riddle looked at the little girl with some embarrassment, but he stood up and followed behind Kamiyu.

Tanis looked at the sandwich with some embarrassment, but he stood up and followed behind Kamiyu.

"Wait, wait a minute! I admit it... I got separated from my friend, and I got lost..."

With tears in her eyes and a humiliated expression, the little girl bit her lips and admitted: "So don't leave me..."

"We're not obliged to take care of you, are we?"

The smile on Kamiyu's face became even more unbearable: "Why do you want to go with you, Mr. Picket?"

"But, but... woo..."

As the girl spoke, tears fell down her cheeks.

"Wow, Kamiyu, you actually made a girl cry..." The fat man gloated and laughed at Kamiyu.

"I don't think it's good to make people cry." Riddle looked at the crying girl, turned his head and said to Kamiyu seriously.

"Are you two betraying me at a time like this... It's clear that you have a part in making her cry, okay?"

Kamiyu said in embarrassment, but found that the contemptuous gazes of the two had not changed, so he could only compromise in the end: "Okay, I just admit defeat and I will take you away, so don't cry, okay?"

As a result, the three of them persuaded for more than ten minutes before the little girl stopped crying.

"Love, information exchange..." She wiped her face, sniffed, and said to Kamiyu with her little head up.

"What information can you have?"

Looking at the messy girl who was still crying just now, Kamiyu sighed in her heart, "No matter how precocious she is, she's just a 10-year-old girl" (Note: Kamiyu is 12 years old). The cup took a sip of water - in order to persuade the girl to stop crying, his mouth was dry.

"There may be a 'treasure chest' in the woods near the village!"

"Puff! Cough..." Kamiyu almost sprayed water from his nostrils, but he confirmed to the girl without wiping his face, "You mean the 'treasure box' that the dean mentioned during the mobilization meeting! "

The girl nodded, and Kamiyu suddenly felt her heartbeat speed up by a notch.

This time the trial really only needs to reach one of the four Ryder Pillars, but there are many things on the way that can weight the credits.

The most common ones are to help the villagers in small villages scattered all over the country to run errands and complete various tasks, and to defeat monsters with a crusade level of 5 or higher, and to find 'treasure boxes'.

Although running errands for others is time-consuming and labor-intensive, it is not dangerous, and it is also easy to do-the information that Kamiyu planned to extract from the half-ling population just now included information such as whether there was a mission, but it failed ...

After refining his own magic power and being able to cast some first-ring magic, it is no longer impossible to defeat monsters above level 5. What's more, there is still no specified number of people. If the number is enough, the low-level monsters can be piled to death with the amount of magic. Even one-on-one, the odds of winning against level 5 monsters are not low if you are fully prepared.

However, the treasure chest is not as easy to complete as the first two.

Although you can get some gifts by helping the villagers run errands, most of them are salted fish and bacon, which are of little value; although the weight of credits obtained from hunting monsters is higher than that of running errands, it is dangerous after all, and because no students will collect them, So even if you finish fighting the monsters, you basically won't get any loot.

But the treasure chest is different. Successfully obtaining the treasure chest not only has a rich credit weight, but also there will be at least one magic item in the treasure chest as a base. In the current era, when everyone in the college is a sorcerer's apprentice, there are still very few students who exchange credits for equipment, and most of the students still use the standard equipment distributed in the school.

This shows how precious a good magic item is!

And the treasure chest in this trial can obtain magic items, which is a great attraction for the students, I have to admit.

"But why do you want to tell us this news?" After regaining his senses, Kamiyu asked a little strangely: "Wouldn't it be better for you to take it yourself?"

"I just told you because I couldn't get it. If you can get it, go get it."

The little girl was very appreciative of this: "Anyway, I'm going to save enough credits soon, and I can exchange them for what I want."

"Then," Kamiyu picked up the cup and reached out to the girl, "Happy cooperation, Classmate Taylor."

Dorothy was stunned for a moment, but she immediately realized that she reached out to pick up the cup that Riddle had put aside, and had a toast with Camille.

"Happy cooperation, classmate Screa." (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
