Chapter 256: Chapter Thirty-One: Unclassifiable
However, the trial ground of the True Knowledge Society is not easy to breach.
Thinking over it, Carrot casually created a space portal beside Anvis.
However, just as the portal opened, Duke Carrot’s expression subtly shifted.
The portal couldn’t open successfully, but was suddenly severed by a slash at the very mont it was about to open!
That was a slash from an equal Ninth Rank strength, originating from the spatial realm.
“Lord Carrot, the rules of the ga must not be violated.”
A detached voice emanated from the void, the sound carrying the tallic clash of swords, akin to synthetic tones.
“Lord Hall? Are you in charge of supervising the trial now?”
Hearing the voice on the other end, Carrot felt a slight sinking in his heart.
That was Hall Aslade, an old Ninth Rank from the Aslade Family, Ninth Rank Demon Swordsman, the previous Family Head of the Aslade.
Among the Four Great Families of the Empire, Olivendi and the Alfred Family are closely aligned, the Enoch family remains absolutely neutral, while the Aslades maintain a stiff relationship with all families.
Though it’s partly for show to the Royal Family, correspondingly, they have sufficient strength to maintain this situation.
“I did not intend to violate the rules, Hall. Anvis sought my help through a Talisman, there must be a reason behind this!”
His expression darkened, Carrot opened his mouth coldly, his tone as unchanging as ancient ice, as if he might forcibly intervene at any mont.
“His current state is completely normal.”
Across the space, a stream of psychic information ca through.
That was the magic assessnt data of Anvis’ current state, all his physical and ntal conditions were completely normal, with no internal injuries or abnormal states.
As the top talent of the Gloria Empire, regardless of the test results, the True Knowledge Society will ensure that no one actually suffers casualties during the trial.
“…”
Looking at the screen where the test environnt was also completely normal, Duke Carrot was slightly at a loss for words.
anwhile, Hall on the other side spoke again.
“Lord Carrot, as a Supervisor, I have no intention of engaging in a aningless battle with you, nor will I stop you a second ti.”
Still with the sa indifferent tone, Hall casually pinpointed the key issue.
“But I must remind you, if you insist on intervening, then he will permanently lose the qualification to join the True Knowledge Society. External interference is strictly forbidden in the rookie trial, which was a rule agreed upon by all the higher-ups.”
Listening to his words, Carrot noticeably hesitated.
“Very well, Lord Hall, but I need to ensure Anvis’ safety.”
“Worry not, that is my responsibility.”
Across the space, Hall spoke evenly.
“As long as I am here, no participant will encounter any mishaps—”
.….….
In the Trial World, seeing that the Duke had not appeared for a long ti, Anvis thought slightly and vaguely understood the issue.
The Duke must have been stopped by the Ninth Rank or other forces of the True Knowledge Society, temporarily unable to arrive.
Upon analyzing the situation, he understood that the possibility of Hunters was slim.
This place is, after all, the assessnt location of the True Knowledge Society, and high-level Hunters have difficulties entering here unnoticed. Those capable enough probably wouldn’t be easily predicted by him.
The most likely scenario is so kind of large-scale disaster.
Crisis prediction has a certain degree of advance warning, Anvis is not sure how much ti he has left. However, the most important thing he should do now is to leave this mini-Dream Realm as soon as possible.
After breaking through the illusion, he currently found himself in a pure white rectangular hall.
The hall’s walls were devoid of any decorations; on one of the walls, there was a conspicuous black door, being the only differently colored object in the room.
Anvis quickly entered the door, and behind it was still a pure white hall, but this hall had one black door each on the left and right sides.
This is a structure similar to a maze, normally one would need to solve complex chanisms within the maze to obtain the Guiding Array that leads out of the maze, and three keys to unlock the central secret door.
But Anvis rembered the map.
Soon, with his familiarity with the trial environnt, Anvis found the three keys and also gathered a few temporary teammates along the way.
This was not excessive, as they were needed for the final assessnt before departure.
Unlike him, who quickly left the illusion, the others, when he found them, were still lying on the ground like corpses.
Using magic to carry them, Anvis created a large water ball, threw everyone into it, and then cast a Third Rank Lightning Beam at the water ball.
Stop sleeping, get up quickly!
This swift action imdiately drew the sideways glances of many mbers of the True Knowledge Society.
Three mbers with golden insignias were also very surprised, until they looked up Anvis’s data, which sowhat lessened their astonishnt.
Anvis’s thod was simple and rough, but very effective. When everyone’s life was truly under threat, the illusion of the trial was imdiately shattered.
“Oh oh…”
Having escaped the illusion, the man in white clothes, shivering, tried to say sothing, but his words were paralyzed and wouldn’t co out.
“Alright, don’t talk for now, I need your help with sothing. Can you stand here and wait for ten minutes? I can give you a hundred Gold Coins as a reward.”
Seeing the player waking up, Anvis didn’t wait for him to say anything and spoke directly, simultaneously giving him a healing tap to refill his life.
“Of course! I’m very willing!”
The task [Wait] popped up on the panel, the Half-Elf player blinked and then nodded rapidly.
Stand for ten minutes and earn a hundred Gold Coins just like that? What a deal!
Doing a Second Rank Magic Beast subjugation task, the reward wouldn’t be more than a dozen Gold Coins.
“Also, if you’re willing to wait another five minutes, I’ll give you another hundred Gold Coins.”
Anvis spoke again after glancing at his task.
“No ques…”
Just as he was about to agree again, the man in white suddenly noticed, with a puzzled expression, that the Challenge Level of this mission changed to 85 . The words he was about to say got stuck in his throat.
Good, there are more than ten minutes until the crisis arrives, but less than fifteen minutes.
“Alright, stranger, I’ve changed my mind now, let’s go now.”
He casually gave him a hundred Gold Coins as a reward and explained the situation to the other three temporary teammates through telepathic communication.
He had a premonition of a great danger nearing, with less than fifteen minutes until it hits, and they needed to leave quickly.
However, despite Anvis’s guidance, it still took them about ten minutes to reach the giant bronze gate in the center of the maze.
Anvis took out three secret keys and inserted them into the lock holes on the door. The door automatically opened, revealing a square room, with a giant black Teleportation Array painted on the floor.
As soon as the people entered, the lines of the Array imdiately lit up with a faint white light.
Then, the final question of the assessnt entered everyone’s Spirit Space.
“The world is about to collapse but the energy of the final Teleportation Array is insufficient, only enough for four people to leave this world. One person in the team will be permanently left behind. If the decision is in your hands, who would you abandon? Based on what reason?”
In his previous life, Anvis didn’t have much of a feeling about this question. Only now did he realize that this issue was not just hypothetical, but also a statent of fact!
Of course, regardless of how many people entered the Array, the so-called ‘final Teleportation Array’s’ energy was only enough to transport one less than the total number of people.
“Abandon the foreigner, because he is not a mber of the True Knowledge Society, and he can revive.”
In less than a minute, the four people each provided a similar response.
In another world, seeing the answers reflected by the Array, the people of the True Knowledge Society exchanged glances.
The mber responsible for recording the archives hesitated with his quill, unsure of how to categorize this answer.
Around the round table, the other two mbers with golden insignias turned their heads, looking towards the brown-haired, golden-eyed young man who spoke earlier, who just shrugged at them.
“Don’t look at , I don’t have the authority to get people out of there.”
