    The guards of the Golden Palace pulled the gate, and the hydraulic axle drove the four-open giant door open. Kay stepped in proudly. He walked directly into the royal court without any hindrance. Only a few people in the entire Essien had this authority.  .  .  The target of his visit was not the emperor, but Duke Carlton, Prime Minister of Essien, who had just returned from the Tia Forest.  "Oh, Master Ye Phosphorus won't let me relax for a moment. The smell of the grass and trees I brought back from the forest has not dissipated." The mustached Duke smiled with a smile on his face, but his face looked tired.  "Thank you for your hard work, Your Excellency. How is the transaction going?" "Generally speaking, it is not going well. I saw that big eye at Tia's newly built star curtain door." The Duke gestured in the air for a long time, not knowing what words to use to describe it. "  It¡¯s really a creation of the devil.¡± ¡°Appearance?¡± ¡°Connotation.¡± Carlton¡¯s face was serious, ¡°From his joking language and exaggerated expression, you can feel his subtle and detached perspective.  We treat monkeys the same way. He has a thorough understanding of human nature, country, and trade, so he is indifferent not only to Essien, but also to Tia Maybe it is my misunderstanding."  He was impressed by the magic eye that he had only seen twice.  "Times are flowing down the river, and Essien must learn to adapt. Let's talk about business. Has there been any result from the negotiations?" "No, he has not given a clear response to the strange disappearances that occurred in various parts of the Seraph. And neither has the trade in elemental crystals.  Open it, that eye doesn't care much about this, but Tia insisted, I only brought back a few samples." The Duke took out a fist-sized box and opened the lid, and the whole hall was filled with warm water vapor.  The bright red soft velvet is embedded with a round turquoise crystal. Unlike the rough earth element crystal cluster, the water element crystal is particularly soft and soft.  Kay took the box and said: "If Tia refuses to trade, we will look for element crystals elsewhere." "Essien has not had this kind of output for hundreds of years." "I don't think there will be none in the future, Saraf  It's changing, Your Excellency." "I will pay attention to all kinds of gems. Is there anything else?" Master Kai smiled, "Yes, the door to the string of life is about to open to Essien.  Entering the lake, the waves caused spread to all parts of Sarafu within a month.  There was a consistent theme at Essien's noble banquet.  "Have you heard? Master Ye Phosphorus selflessly shares knowledge. Even a mortal like me can touch the mysterious power of the Life Master!" "Only a mortal like you can afford 10,000 Essien  The cost of gold coins is just for entry. You don¡¯t know how much it will cost. But is it really possible? I saw Master Ye Phosphorus building a bridge out of thin air. It¡¯s really an art like the gods!  Only then can I master it. Even if I study, I may not be able to reach the level of Master Ye Phosphorus in my lifetime. " "My friend, this is not only power, but also glory and status! I can leave a mark on my family's history and be popular wherever I go.  "Relatively speaking, gold coins don't matter, just squeeze the tenants hard." "It is said that there are only 10 places this time." "I am determined to win" Similar conversations are circulating among the small and medium-sized nobles, and those ancient and large families.  Mostly remain graceful.  Standing proudly in a secluded corner, he looked at these country bumpkins with disdain.  As soon as Prime Minister Essien appeared, they immediately threw away their demeanor and gathered around him.  "Oh, gentlemen." Duke Carlton raised his palms to signal them to retreat. "Pay attention to your manners. Your enthusiasm is almost overwhelming me." "Please forgive our presumption, Mr. Prime Minister. Let's just say it directly¡ª¡ª10  How many of these places have been reserved by the royal family? "How many of them can be allocated to us?" A circle of eyes fell on Duke Carlton.  "Unfortunately, I can't answer. The choice is entirely up to you." The veteran nobles will not be dismissed easily, "But you can definitely influence the choice of Master Ye Phosphorus." "I can. But so can the royal family,  The Knights Guild can do it too. This kind of competition is unwise. Let¡¯s wait for the master¡¯s judgment.¡±¡­ Within a month, thousands of outsiders suddenly poured into Pilsen, most of whom were nobles from various places, wealthy businessmen, and even hidden people.  Great scholar of the world.  There were even more weird people. Dozens of religions announced Master Ye Phosphorus at the same time. Their prophets, angels, leaders or gods themselves knelt down and quarreled around the string of death, hoping that the tower door would be opened, but the city guard  The cell door opened first, and hundreds of people were arrested before they calmed down.  Poets who want to record legends, young ladies who join in the fun, various theological researchers, etc., make Pilsen jump all over the place, because the city guard knows that among these people, Kumara's military spies will never be less than three figures.  .    As the trend continued to spread, the Gallan Nord Alliance and the Crimson Federation were surprised, and Chongying Kumara worked hard to collect all useful information.  On this day, there were crowds of people outside Zongmingzhixing.  Aston peeked out of the window, felt dizzy, and stammered: "There are so many people!" Kaye stood aside to relax, while the slime squirmed on him, constantly changing his appearance and clothing.  "Why are you nervous? We spent two months formulating the rules of the French Alliance and simplifying the tutorials, just for today." He held a list in his hand, recording the names of those who would participate in the selection.  "But, but, many of them are big shots that I am not qualified to meet" Kai is two inches taller, with cloud-shouldered robes hanging on his shoulders, and an ioun stone for decoration floating on his head.  He patted the scholar and said, "Relax. Before today, you were unknown. After today, no one knows about you. Open the door!" The Sword Spider arched its body, letting the figure of the Night Phosphorus Life Master appear in front of thousands of people.  The mage walked with his head held high, his robes dancing in the wind.  The complex sight lines were intertwined, and Kay knew there was some malice in them. However, there were a few birds hovering over the bustling venue. He ignored the birds that seemed to be druids and said loudly: "Today, I will kill myself."  The strings rang for Essien. The first selector entered. "Everyone was curious about who the first adventurer was. When he came out of the crowd, there was a lot of noise.  Ashevor walked up to him with a smile, "Master doesn't seem surprised." "I would be surprised if His Majesty doesn't come. Please come in." The Sword Spider closed the door, and His Majesty the Emperor of Essien followed Kai and asked:  "I want to know how to determine the qualifications. Just cast a spell and you will know?" The two came to the second floor of the String of Life. "That is too luxurious, Your Majesty. We have prepared some questions to test logical responses. Memory depth, abstraction  Thinking and imitation ability. Astondon't be dizzy yet, you are in charge of the process." The scholar was sweating coldly, the questioner was extremely nervous, and the person being tested looked around curiously.  "Well Your Majesty, we are now faced with such a situation. There are two doors on the left and right in front of us, one leading to a way out and the other leading to a trap. There are two people, one only tells the truth and the other only tells lies. How to use only one  If there is a problem, then identify the safe door." The emperor rubbed his chin, pondered for a moment, raised his bright eyes and said, "I ordered these two people to go with me at the same time, whether they tell the truth or lies!"  After wiping his sweat, Kai looked helpless and said, "Ahem, Your Majesty, you already have the bearing of an emperor." Ashewor laughed.  "Master, when did you become so tactful? Well, I won't waste your time." With that said, the two walked out of the tower door.  Kay announced loudly: "His Majesty is smart enough to embark on the road of indulgence. But he wants to control Essien's future and has no energy to carry out courses, but no matter what, I am sure of his qualifications!" The crowd praised him.  The emperor's dignity must be maintained.  The majestic queue moved forward under the command.  The shining armor and fluttering cloaks are eye-catching. Fifteen young faces hold their heads high and their iron boots clash with each other.  Stop.  Grand Knight Laurel always had a resolute expression that showed no signs of panic at all times, "Your Majesty, Master, these are the most outstanding young men in the sect. Some are of noble birth, some are of ordinary birth, but they are practicing the virtues of knights."  Just as determined as before." Fifteen left fists struck the breastplate at the same time, saluting in unison.  Ashewal said with great interest: "Grand Knight Commander, the candidates recommended by the sect are very young. Many of the nobles who come here to take the test are similar to your age. You can also try it." "No, my  The palms are already rough and are more suitable for holding swords. Let's give the opportunity to the younger ones. "Kay nodded, "Then these young knights have to take off their armor and put on their robes." "The spirit of the knights' guild is not good.  "It's amazing, but you must remove your sword before entering. No weapons are allowed inside the String of Life." "Of course." The young knights followed each other in, and Kay whispered to Aston.  I'll leave it to you. As we agreed before, I'll go see Mina. "At the same time, the dark and thin girl was on the ground floor of the String of Life. She was also the examiner, but she faced the biggest difference.  Over 10 years old.  A little fat man said with a sad face: "Is there no window in the room?" "No." "Can I put several questions into one question? "No.  "Then I will open the two doors one by one and probe" The girl said sharply, "You can open the door of this room and leave now. You have been eliminated. Remember to close the door!"  ¡± С?The wife turned pale with fright and staggered away.  The next girl came in. After listening to the question, she bit her finger and thought for ten minutes before she said immaturely: "We call two people 1 and 2. If, I mean if 1 tells the truth and 2 tells lies,  Let's assume that the left door is safe and the right door is a trap. Ask 1: 2 will tell me whether the left door is safe or the right door is safe. If 2 tells a lie, he will tell him that the right door is safe. If 1 tells the truth, then 2 will tell.  The right door was safe, so he took the left door. "The girl said more and more fluently, "On the other hand, asking 2: 1 will tell me whether the left door is safe or the right door is safe, and the answer is the right door.  You still have to take the left door!" Mina looked up at her: "What's your name?" "Jojo, Winnie Jojo. My father is the viscount of the Duke of Carlton, and I'm just the fourth daughter in the family.  I'm going to get engaged to a rich ugly guy named Bast and then spend my whole life running away to take the exam. Please, please keep me. " "I don't care which ugly guy you marry.  Enter the second door on the left, remember what you can see before the hourglass in my hand leaks, and then come back and repeat it to me." Qiao Qiao said with wide eyes, "If I pass another level, is it okay?  Can you stay? " "Yes, stay as an apprentice to sweep the floor! If you ask any more, go home and prepare the dowry, go!" The little girl ran away.  Mina rubbed her brows and sighed. Kai, who had been listening for a while, opened the door and walked in, "You don't like her?" (To be continued) ps: There is too much foreshadowing, which makes it painful to write.  The situation in this continent worries me to death. There are three bright and dark lines, four contestants and one referee, plus their respective affiliated races. Everyone has their own positions and interests. The intertwining is making me pull my hair.  Trapped in a cocoon.
