At night, the moonlight shone in through the window again and fell on the ground, like silver frost.

Lorraine was the only one left in the room, Scarlett was gone, but the dark burqa he placed on the bed was still there, and the son of the blacksmith left.

"Squeak~~~"

The door of the room opened gently, outside, a ground knight instructor walked in and sat on the bed opposite Luo Lan. He looked at the silly boy on the bed and couldn't help but smile: "Loran, what happened during the day must have been a lot of stimulation to you, right?"

"No."

The boy shook his head.

The Earth Knight seemed to see forbearance and a little anger in his eyes, and just smiled slightly and said, "The reason why the blood-colored cage is called the blood-colored cage is that it deserves its name. This rule has been passed down hundreds of years ago. Courage and luck are elements that a strong man must have, and you have them all."

As he said that, he put the wound medicine on the table, looked at Luo Lan deeply, and said, "Among the surviving students, you are the only one who has no mark of the awakened star source. I hope you can survive and let me see a miracle. As long as you can survive tomorrow's trial, I will be your instructor and teacher for a long time in the future."

Luo Lan looked up and glanced at him. Then she realized that the instructor was a man about 30 years old and handsome with a heroic look. He nodded: "Okay, teacher."

The land knight smiled slightly and said, "My name is Haimu, you can call me Teacher Haimu."

"Thank you, Teacher Haimu." Luo Lan glanced at the wounded medicine beside her, and her heart was filled with alert.

Haimu seemed to see something and smiled and said, "Loran, are you guarding me?"

"I……"

Luo Lan wanted to speak but stopped, and the boy had never experienced this.

Haimu did not ask, but smiled faintly, raised his hand gently, and pushed the invisible star source power, and the door of the room closed with a creak. He looked at Luo Lan and said, "I have checked it in the afternoon. You are the person who came out of the trial room and the 'prey' brought back by the hunting knights. You must have experienced many unforgettable memories these days, but I can tell you that not all the people in the Blood Castle are beasts that prey on the weak. Only when you go to that point can you relieve the real people in the Blood Castle."

"They killed my mother."

Luo Lan was silent for a long time and suddenly said something.

Haimu was stunned, then gritted his teeth and said, "As it turns out, those hunting knights are no longer different from mercenaries. In order to obtain more bounties, they have become more and more unscrupulous and dare to kill civilians in the empire. Damn..."

Luo Lan looked at Haimu quietly and said, "Teacher, didn't the Blood Castle indulge them in order to do this?"

"this……"

Haimu was stunned and said, "Loran, you are right. In order to obtain more and stronger fresh blood, the Blood Castle has indeed issued a clear order and will not pursue the means. It ordered the hunting knights to go to various parts of the border of the Empire to search for talents. However... As a member of the Knights of Light, they actually killed people without regard to the orders of the Holy See... You should indeed hate them."

Luo Lan looked out the window and felt mixed in his heart: "So, it's still the idea of ​​the blood castle, or even the idea of ​​the Holy See of Light, is it teacher?"

Haimu was shocked and his face changed: "Loran, you are crazy, how can you say such words?"

As he said that, he stood up, turned around and looked at Luo Lan, and said, "Everything I can tell you has been said, and the rest is no longer important. My only expectation for you is that you hope you can survive tomorrow's experience. Let's go and choose a handy weapon with me. This will be the key to whether you can survive."

"Yes, teacher."

The boy stood up and followed Haimu all the way out of the corridor. After turning a few turns, he came to the ordnance of the Blood Castle. More than a dozen big knights guarded outside with their hands on the hilt of their swords, nodding at Haimu, and said respectfully: "Instructor Haimu!"

"Um."

Haimu returned the gift: "I will bring the students to choose weapons!"

"It's rare for Instructor Haimu to personally lead the students to select weapons, but this kid... seems to be the lucky one who came out of the underground trial room?"

“That’s right.”

Haimu didn't say much, but said in a deep voice: "Loran, come in with me."

With a "creak", after pushing open the heavy iron door, Haimu walked in front of him. Clusters of braziers were burning in the ordnance, releasing heat and light, illuminating the entire hall. Rows of weapon stands were displayed in front of him, filling the entire hall. It seemed that there were at least hundreds of rows, and each weapon stand was filled with weapons, including long swords, hooks, short swords, double-edged axes, shields, etc.

...

For a moment, Lolan was confused.

"What weapon are you used to using?" Haimu asked.

"One-handed sword." Lolan added: "Maybe, it's a two-handed sword."

"Um……"

Haimu nodded and said, "Loran, punch me with all your strength. Teacher, test how powerful you are."

"Teacher, this..."

"Don't worry, attack with all your might."

"yes!"

Luo Lan suddenly sank, and her muscles tensed in an instant. She looked like a strong bow that had been pulled into a full moon. Her right fist suddenly burst out, while Hai Mu opened her hand, and the star source power was lingering between her five fingers. A light "Peng" sound blocked Luo Lan's punch lightly, which made Luo Lan feel like she was hitting a piece of steel.

"It's about 300 kilograms."

Haimu smiled slightly, seemed quite satisfied, and said, "Child, not bad, no wonder you can defeat the official student with the star source power."

Lolanmo kept silent. He knew that all he had was strength and muscle reaction, and the gap with the rest of the students was still very big.

"Um……"

Haimu grabbed a steel sword and weighed it, frowned, and said, "Your strength is already the best among your peers. This is your advantage, but your disadvantage is that the Star Source Seal has not awakened, so you must be more destined to attack and defense skills than others, and you must train your own speed. Luo Lan, the teacher gives you a suggestion, give up the two-handed sword and use a one-handed sword and shield, so that you may be able to pass tomorrow's test alive."

"Teacher Haimu, what will be the test tomorrow?" the boy asked.

Haimu said in a deep voice: "The first day's test is called courage, the second day's test is called luck, and the third day's test is called challenge. All selected students must challenge a first-level monster hunted from the northern wilderness. If the challenge is successful, they can become real students in the blood cage. If they fail, there is no need to waste the expensive training resources in the Blood Castle."

"Yes, teacher!"

"Go and choose one-handed sword and shield that you are satisfied with."

"good."

Luo Lan walked forward and her eyes fell on a row of weapons frames with one-handed swords. All the sword blades cast in fine steel opened Luo Lan's eyes. In his original small village, there was no chance to see such a fine steel sword, and even the steel forks used by hunters were actually rough iron tools. So, he grabbed one of the short swords and waved them gently, feeling that it was a bit too light.

After changing one, I got much better this time and became much more steady, but it did not affect the speed of Luolan's sword swing. So I took out the scabbard, put the blade in my hand, and then went to the area where the shield was discharged, and picked a small round steel shield. The shield was not big, but it was not particularly heavy. With Luolan's strength, it could be controlled very well.

"Teacher Haimu, I want these two, okay?" Luo Lan asked.

"Can."

Hai Mu's eyes were filled with a faint praise and smiled: "Loran, you are very smart and know that you should choose weapons that suit you. Instead of choosing some powerful weapons, you also choose shields well. Such a small round shield, combined with your muscle reaction and speed, is enough to keep up with the speed of first-level monsters and resist their attacks."

As he said that, Haimu asked again: "Loran, have you seen first-level monsters before?"

"No."

"Then why don't you ask me if the first-level phantom beast is strong?"

"I have to defeat it regardless of whether I ask or not, or I will be eliminated." Lolan said.

Haimu smiled: "Well, just remember this sentence yourself. You must do your best to treat the monster as the strongest enemy, otherwise you will regret it. Over the years, countless students have fallen into the hands of first-level monsters."

"Yes, teacher!"

...

After returning to the room, the female doctor came again, changed the medicine and bandaged Luo Lan's injuries and left, while Luo Lan went to bed early and took good care of the challenge the next day.

The next morning, amid a whistle, the students got up one after another and took their weapons to eat. The breakfast was very simple, but the broth and noodles were still there. Although the taste was a bit rough, it could replenish your energy as quickly as possible. When the students finished their meal and rested for another half an hour, an instructor came and said, "Set out, go to the monster cage and accept your challenge today!"

Not long after, a group of students followed the instructor through a long road and arrived at another area of ​​the Blood Castle.

"Ho huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh

From afar, the roar of monsters changed the teenagers' expressions, and many people's faces turned pale in an instant. After entering the high courtyard wall, the scene ahead made the teenagers even more shocked. They saw monsters of different shapes imprisoned in cages and let out a shocking roar. In the cages of some monsters, there were some broken limbs, which were clearly human corpses.

"ah?"

All the teenagers were extremely shocked, including Luo Lan. At this time, the students who were a little more delicate at this time could probably guess the place where the corpses of those who had not passed the test were returned.

"snort……"
