Tokyo Survival from Tamamomae

Chapter 245 The Strange Test
It was also after Cecilia entered the cave with his front foot that Hao Ren came here with his back foot.

"This chick, your impression of me should drop now!"

Looking at the place where Cecilia was standing before, the corners of Haoren's mouth rose slightly.

Although it is not clear why Cecilia imagined that she was Merlin, it can be seen from Cecilia's usual words and deeds that she has great trust in her abilities.

Only in this way will he urgently want to recruit himself and be used by her.

Naturally, it was impossible for Haoren to go to Britain, nor could he serve any royal family.

The easiest way is undoubtedly to reject the other party on the spot, but the problem is that it is not that he has not rejected Cecilia, but that the rejection is useless at all.

He had already rejected it once when he was in the crack, and he has rejected it many times since then.

But this chick seemed determined after eating the weight. Even if she was rejected in person, she didn't mean to give up at all.

Therefore, Hao Ren had foreseen such a method in advance.

Since in Cecilia's eyes, Merlin is omnipotent, then let Merlin fall off the altar...

And the truth is, he did.

In fact, the best way is to fight with the demon, and then pretend to be defeated, but his strength has been exposed in the previous battle with the big demon king, so this method will not work.

Then only let Cecilia see her own shortcomings in terms of character quality and behavior.

Telling Cecilia that she is not good at dealing with agency traps is to break Merlin's "perfect" image.

Let her know that Merlin also has shortcomings and is not omnipotent.

Of course, Cecilia might not believe it, and the result might be imagined by her as a test for her.

That's okay, since it is considered a "test", then he has to pass some strange "tests" to completely subvert the perfect image of "Merlin" that Cecilia had made up in her mind.

Even at this moment, Hao Ren could imagine Cecilia's ashen face after going through these tests, and all kinds of questioning thoughts in her heart.

Ah, how could Master Merlin, who is a teacher by example, test these weird things?
It's so difficult, you can't pass the test at all, even if you pass, will you have to be punished every day by Mr. Merlin who is your mentor?
Never……

Lord Merlin is really too bad to think of such a thing.

Mistakes, Lord Merlin is not Wang's mentor at all.

In this way, the "perfect" image of Merlin in Cecilia's heart will collapse and she will give up.

Thinking of this, strands of gray mist gushed out of Haoren's body, and along with the space fluctuations shimmering with silver lights under the cover of the gray mist, his figure quickly disappeared in place.

……

"Master Merlin is not good at mechanism traps and so on, it should be deceiving, Wei Ni and the others are trapped, maybe it is true.

It must be easy for Lord Merlin to rescue them, and the reason why he didn't do so is probably because..."

"Well... this must be the test given to me by Master Merlin, and it is also a necessary test to become a king!"

"These tests must be difficult, and very serious and formal, right?"

"If I pass the test, Merlin will further recognize me, and finally agree to assist me and go to Britain with me!"

"Since this is the case, you have to redouble your efforts. Let me see what a difficult test Master Merlin has given you!"

Cecilia sneaked cautiously into the cave while talking to herself.

She thought that tests like this were mostly very formal and serious.

After all, she has experienced it before, such as killing the demon king Qingfangzhu with a holy sword.

However, the fact is...

After passing through the first section of the cave passage, Cecilia came all the way to the fork of the familiar seven forks.

And these forks have already been very different from before.

Its entrance was covered by thick gray fog, and the scene inside could not be seen clearly, and next to each fork, there was a small wooden sign with some words written on it.

"Character, skill, courage, knowledge, proficiency..."

Cecilia read it from left to right, and then fell into deep thought.

You must know that when you came here before, there were no such wooden signs at the gates of these fork roads, but now there are.

There is no doubt that this must be Lord Merlin's handwriting, and it has been verified again. This is a test.

And these wooden signs may represent the content of the test.

Character test?

Skill test?

A test of courage?

knowledge test?

Proficiency test?

……

Is this what it means?

Character and courage are easy to understand, but what is the test of skill, knowledge and proficiency?

It was also when Cecilia was thinking this way, as if she sensed her arrival, there was a hissing sound on the leftmost passageway with the "character" wooden sign.

The gray mist that soon shrouded it gradually dissipated, revealing one of the dark passages.

The other passages were still covered by gray fog.

The meaning is obvious, it is to make Cecilia enter the passage on the far left.

Cecilia stared at this passage for a while, gritted her teeth slightly, and quickly strode into it.

After walking along the passage for a while, soon there was another dense gray fog in front of him, which obscured his vision. There were faint silver rays of light and spatial fluctuations, but were obscured by the gray fog.

After passing through the gray fog, Cecilia found herself suddenly appearing in a familiar confined space.

"Is this the secret room from before?"

Although she didn't know how she entered the secret room, Cecilia quickly raised her vigilance and put the sword in her hand across her chest.

Because if I remember correctly, there are strange tentacles in this secret room, which will spray out that kind of weird liquid that can make people feel itchy or painful all over, and they need to be licked to get rid of it.

"That's strange. Is this a character test? What kind of character is the test?"

Cecilia was very puzzled, because this was slightly different from the very formal and serious assessment she had expected.

As a result, without accident, the liquid drenched down again. Although Cecilia had condensed the spiritual power shield, she was still drenched thoroughly.

A strange itching came to my heart again, and at the same time, a powerful anti-magic effect sealed Cecilia's spiritual power in her body.

She has already experienced it once, and she can use her own bodily fluids to relieve these physical discomforts.

But she didn't do it because...

"Hmm...ah, it's so itchy. Could it be...Could it be that Master Merlin wants to test my perseverance after I've been drenched in these weird liquids, to see if I can keep my firm belief unshakable?"

There are many kinds of noble character, and perseverance is obviously one of them.

Cecilia guessed like this, forcibly resisting the discomfort in her body, and sat cross-legged on the ground with difficulty.

However, it was also when she sat down, closed her eyes, and was about to enter a state of emptying herself.

There was a burst of wind, and a strange silver iron whip fell from the sky and landed not far in front of Cecilia.

After the iron whip fell, the tip of the whip lifted up slightly, shining a faint silver-white light, and then swayed by itself, making a sound like a rattlesnake wagging its tail.

In just a split second, something similar to a "domain" extended from the iron whip, covering the entire space of the secret room, and at the same time, some kind of strange rules rapidly expanded and formed.

"This is?"

Staring at the iron whip with a silver-white light on its tip, Cecilia felt in a trance.

After her spiritual power was sealed, her strength dropped several levels. Naturally, she didn't know that the small "field" emitted by the iron whip had already changed certain rules of the surrounding space.

But at this time, an unusually charming mature female voice suddenly came from the iron whip.

"Hehehe, young girl, you are so courageous to rush into the graveyard of the Great Demon King!"
