Riding the camel back to the gathering place, Dean and others immediately saw that the desolate sand was densely packed with figures of different heights. They were other students who participated in the assessment. Although the overall number was much smaller than before, it was still very impressive.
"So many people are qualified!" Mason was surprised.
Dean was also a little surprised, but soon he was relieved. Although the children who were recruited here came from different families, but under Tobu's collective training, whether they were delicate or weak, all of them had transformed into a brand new person. There was not much difference in the physique of everyone. Although the first and last place were separated by hundreds of ranks, but in terms of performance, the difference was only a few minutes.
Moreover, in this desert survival assessment, endurance was only a supporting role. The real help to survival was to rely on the brain and luck.
"I didn't expect that there would be so many powerful people." Mason, Zach and Sham said with emotion, "I thought that we were hardworking enough, but I didn't expect others to be the same."
The other children were also a little surprised. In these ten days of survival in the desert, everyone had experienced the difficulty of survival. They had thought that it was already a miracle that they could stubbornly survive in such a hopeless situation. They did not expect that there were so many people who could create "miracles" like them. At that moment, everyone realized that they were definitely not the most special one in this world. If they wanted to get attention, it was nothing to rely on their current efforts. They had to work ten times or even a hundred times harder to get it!
The sun was setting. With the return of the last camel, all the people who had successfully passed the assessment had arrived.
At this time, a huge black carriage came and stopped in front of everyone. Two people jumped out of the carriage. They were Tobu and Kris. After they got off the carriage, they turned around and opened the curtain. They only heard the jingling sound of chains, and then a distorted figure was pushed out of the carriage and fell on the sand.
Tobu and Kris didn't have the slightest politeness. They roughly pulled the man's chain and brought him in front of all the children.
In an instant, the whole sand was silent.
Dean's pupils suddenly shrank when he saw the figure. His fingers in his sleeves clenched nervously. His back was drenched in cold sweat. He saw the figure wrapped in chains. It was an alchemist! What's more, he and the hunchbacked old man he killed were of the same "Life" Alchemy Warlocks, and they both used their own bodies for experiments!
Moreover, the aftereffects of this person's experiment were even more exaggerated!
On his tall and sturdy body, a twisting snake tail grew out from his buttocks, wrapping around his body. His face was covered in lumps of flesh, and on his left wrist, a bone dagger that looked like a curved blade protruded. It was extremely sharp, but the most shocking thing was that his chest actually split open from the center, and from the crack, sharp fangs could vaguely be seen!
He could no longer be called a "human"!
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The children who had never seen an alchemist widened their eyes and looked at such a "monster" in disbelief.
Tobu looked around at everyone, indifferently smiled and said: "First of all, I want to congratulate you for passing the survival assessment. You can continue to be ravaged by me for six months. Secondly, there are some things you should also know. " With that, he stepped on the back of the tall and sturdy figure wrapped in chains and kicked him to the ground: "This is the alchemist that your parents often told you about, the devil's apostle!"
All the children burst into an uproar. They didn't expect that the devil that they had heard about since childhood actually existed, and appeared in front of them. Suddenly, all kinds of evil legends about the "alchemist" emerged in their minds. Each of them was chilling, and the twisted body in front of them also confirmed this point – this is the incarnation of the devil!
"This time, there was an" alchemist "lurking in the assessment place, causing a lot of people to be accidentally eliminated." At this time, Kris stood up, her wheat-colored face showed a faint smile: "But fortunately there were no casualties. What is worth congratulating is that after encountering the" alchemist ", many people not only were not frightened, but also rose up to resist and cooperated with the Knights of Light to subdue the alchemist."
She raised her hand and pointed to the alchemist that Tobu was stepping on: "This is a student called 'Lorian'. He cooperated with the Knights of Light and subdued the alchemist last night. He hasn't been judged by the light yet."
Hearing her words, all the children were once again in an uproar, full of amazement and excitement.
Although the Knights of Light were not affiliated with the military, but they were the exclusive knights of the Holy Church. They symbolized noble character and pure will. Even the nobles were proud to be able to marry a Knight of Light!
"There is actually a Knight of Light."
"I didn't expect that among us there would be such a powerful person who can help the Knights of Light to capture the devil."
"Too happy, if I can meet a Knight of Light, I really want to see what they look like."
Mason, Sham and Zach said with emotion.
When the other children heard Kris words, they were full of envy. To be able to help the Knights of Light to punish the devil, just thinking about it made them excited and excited.
Kris smiled and said: "In this incident, a total of 38 people were attacked by the alchemists, but 17 of them did not surrender to the demons. Instead, they delayed until the arrival of the Knights of Light. Especially Lorian last night, not only did he survive the attacks of the alchemists, but he also secretly left a signal, which allowed the Knights of Light to track him down and capture him in one fell swoop."
"Such fearlessness in the face of danger, calm and courageous character, is worth learning by all!"
"Here, I announce that all the candidates who assisted the Knights of Light to subdue the alchemist will be rewarded with a second class military merit. This military merit will be recorded in your household register. In the future, when you become a guard, you will be directly promoted to the rank of captain and get the right to apply to become a knight." The 'knight' referred to the Knights of the military establishment.
Hearing her words, everyone could not help but be envious and their eyes were red.
Knights and guards were two completely different levels!
Although the Knights of the military and the exclusive Knights of Light of the Holy Church could not be compared, but they were also the object of the aristocracy. Even a civilian knew that the status of a knight was almost the highest achievement that a civilian could achieve. Their status was only slightly inferior to the aristocracy. As for the commander of the knights, their status was higher than that of the aristocracy. As for the commander of the knights, it was needless to say that they stood at the top of the knights.
"In addition to what we already know, ten days ago at the secret stronghold of the alchemist, the Knights of Light found a few footprints. According to their speculation, someone was caught by the alchemist, but managed to escape. I don't know who it was, but please stand up and let me record your military merit." Kris suddenly smiled.
Hearing this, everyone was surprised and looked at each other.
Dean's heart tightened. He immediately saw Zach, Mason and Sham looking at him. Only the three of them knew that he had escaped from the alchemist.
Dean's heart sank as he looked at the envy and excitement in the eyes of the three. He knew that most of his footprints had been traced by the Knights of Light. But because of the long time gap, he had deliberately covered up the remaining footprints after Zach reminded him. So he didn't catch up at that time.
When he killed the alchemist, he did not think about covering his tracks because he did not expect that the Knights of Light would appear. Later he covered up the footprints to deal with Zach. At the moment he thought that he was lucky. If he did not cover up the footprints in time, he was afraid that the Knights of Light would have already caught up with him. He had the alchemy notes tied to his trousers. If he was found out, he did not need to think about how big of a crime it would be.
