Restarting the myth

April 2.

After a twenty-day rest, the second round of the Saint Candidate Assessment began.

The magician engineering team at the headquarters worked hard for a long time to build a teleportation array around the villa. After several tests, the villa and the candidate were teleported away together.

…

Mist.

The forest shrouded in heavy fog seemed to be at the end of the world, and the gloomy atmosphere filled the fields. Because it was far away from the center of the world, the gray sunlight was particularly weak and could not dispel the cold breath in the air.

The cold wind blew past, accompanied by the rustling of leaves, and unknown beasts made sharp calls, as if the dead souls came alive, repeating the desolation of death again and again.

Wayne walked around the villa. The tall trees around him were hidden in the thick fog, half hidden and half visible, and the branches stretched out like ghosts, like twisted palms, calling to the living.

The dead branches and leaves under Wayne's feet made a creaking sound. He smelled the decayed smell in the air and couldn't help but think of darkness and death.

It's so weird!

It's hard to imagine that this is the place where the Church of Nature tests the saints, and the Church of Darkness and the Church of Death are similar.

According to the cheat sheet provided by Senna, the second round of assessment is a points system, and the candidates will be ranked according to the order in which they pass the dungeons.

In addition, the church's senior officials will always pay attention to the performance of the candidates, and their scores are directly related to the points ranking.

For example, the dungeon in front of us is called the Mist Hidden Forest, a cursed land of darkness and death. The power of the magic believed by the Church of Nature is greatly reduced here.

The candidates use their villas as their bases, collect four teleportation magic stones, and open the teleportation array to enter the next dungeon.

There are many magic stones, enough for all candidates to enter the last dungeon.

In principle, one villa is equipped with four magic stones, and candidates are not allowed to continue collecting after obtaining four magic stones, nor are they allowed to destroy them...

Blah blah blah and so on.

As we all know, those who understand will understand, this is a subtext.

It is possible in theory, but absolutely not in practice. It is not possible in principle, but it is completely possible in practice.

When dreams shine into reality and when regulations encounter special circumstances, it is reasonable to make adjustments.

Back to the point, Wayne walked around the villa, his mind scattered, trying to merge with nature, and the cold whispers that sounded like curses came into his ears, telling the horror of the Death Forest.

People have different physiques. Other magicians think whispers drive people crazy, but Wayne just thinks this forest is very noisy.

He can merge, but the lack of vitality in the Mist Hidden Forest is difficult to provide him with help. On the contrary, he has to use his own vitality to make up for the lack of balance.

Don't contact me, I don't have such poor relatives as you.

Wayne ended the conversation and suddenly became curious about this forest. The Book of Greed poked its head and said that there were desserts of darkness and death in the forest, which could be eaten.

Because the dessert was too small, the Book of Greed was not very motivated and was too lazy to extend its tentacles to waste time.

"Look at how I spoiled you. You just eat too much good things..."

"What are you mumbling about? Are you saying bad things about me behind my back again?" Veronica walked out of the villa with her bag on her back and raised her hand to punch Wayne.

"Well, I feel like you've gained weight recently."

"No way, where did you gain weight?"

Veronica was shocked. She had been exercising less recently and had eaten a lot of sweet talk. She also felt that her weight was out of control.

Wayne glanced at Veronica's chest. As expected of him, he saw that Veronica had great potential at first glance.

It just lacked an assistant.

Look, it has grown up with a little help.

Bang!

Where are you looking?

Veronica retracted her fist and snorted coldly: "This place makes me very uncomfortable. Hurry up and find the teleportation stone. Since we are participating in the competition, we must win first place."

"Friendship first, competition second, winning or not is not important, the important thing is participation..."

Wayne shrugged, squatted down with his hands on the ground, and burst out magic to activate the roots underground.

Amid the rumbling sound of the ground, the vine tentacles rolled the soil, wrapped the villa and sank deep underground.

In order to prevent his old home from being stolen, he buried it very deep. He was confident that other candidates, except himself, would not have enough magic power to dig out the villa even if they found it.

This is stable!

Veronica nodded secretly. She never doubted the magic talent of social trash. She said it was good when she saw it, and she had never seen a bad review.

"Suddenly I remembered that there is no need to bury it so deep. The rules only say that you need to collect magic stones to teleport to the next level, but it does not say that you must use your own villa."

Wayne raised his hand and touched his chin: "I blew up my home, and then robbed other people's homes, or blew up other people's homes, leaving them with no way to go..."

"Great, I thought of a lot of new tactics at once, and I can practice them."

"Too slow, not as fast as this." Veronica shook her fist.

That's right.

It makes sense without brains.

Wayne agreed with Veronica's proposal and used fists as the first tactic. He spread his mind and explored the surrounding environment to determine his position on the big map.

Five minutes later, Wayne barely found his small black dot on the map.

The fog interfered with his thinking. Every time it spread outward, the difficulty increased by three points. That meant he. If it were any other candidate, they would be no different from a blind man.

As Wayne's thoughts spread, the Book of Greed gave several more reminders. There are a large number of vengeful spirits in the forest, and several of them can sign contracts to become vengeful spirits.

"Forget it, what do we need so many vengeful spirits for."

Wayne hasn't recruited new employees for a long time. The last time he recruited was the last time. During this period, the Book of Greed reminded Lundan that there were several other good potential stocks, but he ignored them all.

Indeed, the vengeful spirit can bring new talents to Wayne, such as Abin's super sense of smell and supernatural induction, and Abo's super vision, which are all very practical abilities.

And Abin and Abo have their own areas of expertise, one controls the fog, and the other controls the river. As Wayne's strength increases and the Book of Greed continues to strengthen, the abilities of the two vengeful spirits are also strengthened.

However, Wayne's own progress is too fast, and it feels that the vengeful spirit is difficult to keep up with his pace, and those talents are not as useful as his potential.

Moreover, the two old employees have the attribute of earthbound spirits. If they die in Lundan, they will take root in Lundan. Even if Wayne wants a new vengeful spirit, he will not recruit people in the Hidden Mist Forest.

The location is unknown, and it is very likely that it is a different space controlled by the headquarters of the Church of Nature.

The cost-effectiveness of recruiting people in the Hidden Mist Forest is too low. In comparison, it is better to recruit local people in Lundan. They are available at any time and will not take long vacations.

However, since he is here, Wayne decided to see what kind of goods these vengeful spirits are.

He sank into the Book of Greed, turned the page where the vengeful spirit was located, and looked at the photos of the vengeful spirits that could be contracted one by one.

Soon, Wayne's face became strange.

These vengeful spirits...

are all girls.

The girl who is about the same age as Veronica, her body has rotted into mud, her mind and soul have been imprisoned by the dark death, and she has become a special spirit.

Similar to ghosts, translucent spirit bodies, some are decapitated or have mutilated limbs, and each of them died miserably, and their voices and smiles make people's scalps numb.

The vengeful spirits received the invitation letter from the Book of Greed, and they responded positively to the opportunity to live again.

The translucent spirit shook, floating pure and flawless, took off the makeup of the horror movie set, dressed up and put on the clothes of Princess Diaries.

Rolled up!

Wayne counted them one by one, twelve vengeful spirits, each of them had a good appearance in life, very much like...

Saint candidate.

"The saint assessment will kill people, it shouldn't be, I haven't heard the teacher say..."

Wayne muttered in his heart, closed the Book of Greed, and did not sign a contract with anyone.

The vengeful spirits did not wait for a response, and their resentment increased, and they returned to the midnight horror movie set again.

When he first entered the Mist Hidden Forest, Wayne felt quite bad. These saint candidates who died miserably proved that the church headquarters was filthy, and they must have been very unhappy before they died with such a lot of resentment.

For a moment, Wayne couldn't help but feel a little pity, and almost waved his hand to sign twelve employees in a row.

It's a pity that he couldn't sign, it was too far away from Lundan.

Wayne felt deeply regretful. Just as he was about to turn the page, he caught a glimpse of Veronica beside him.

As candidates for the same saint, the difference between people is too great. With his good brother around, Veronica would definitely not end up dying in a foreign land.

Because of Veronica, Wayne felt sympathy for the twelve vengeful spirits again. After a moment of hesitation, he decided to ask Senna after passing the test because of his conscience.

If possible, add the Hidden Mist Forest to the terms of cooperation.

"Alas, I am too kind..." Wayne sighed and walked forward quickly.

I'm sick again!

Veronica tilted her head and followed Wayne, suspecting that social garbage and bad women were trading, and that she was under too much pressure and kept mumbling in recent days.

Or, give him a little more reward?

————

Boom!

In a corner of the forest, several large trees broke down in succession, and the thick fog was pushed aside by the air wave, lingering in a short vacuum zone.

Alex crossed his hands in front of his chest and stepped back to keep his balance. Looking at his sister Dusha who was covered in dust, his melancholy eyes were filled with murderous intent.

The two had bad luck. After entering the Mist Hidden Forest, they did not meet their ally Windsor, who had been friends for a hundred years, at the first time.

The birth point fell between the villas of the candidates of the two major divisions of Iberia and Gris. What was even more unfortunate was that the four saint candidates reached a cooperative relationship.

Two against four, they were at a disadvantage when they met.

Eight candidates were arranged in the Mist Hidden Forest. Alex and his sister came to the doorstep of their competitors as soon as they appeared. Their luck was extremely bad.

Before they had time to make preparations, Villa No. 8 of the brother and sister was demolished.

The two candidates in the Iberia division were both women, and the Gris division was one man and one woman. They were sisters and brothers to the outside world. Dusha was still observing who was the candidate and who was the bodyguard.

All four candidates had good looks. Even the male bodyguard who had been identified was as good-looking as Alex, a standard handsome man.

If it was two-on-two, Alex was not at all inferior to his opponent, but when it was two-on-four, when his opponent was many times his, he could do nothing even if he wanted to.

Dusha gave her brother a look.

Delay!

Delay until the allies with a century-old friendship arrived.

Five minutes later, four against two stood on both sides of the chaotic battlefield, clearly divided.

All six were covered in dust.

In the situation of superior numbers, the four candidates from Iberia and Gris only had the upper hand but not crushed, which showed that the talents of the two divisions were declining and no longer as glorious as before.

Of course, it can also be said that the Frank Division is still strong and has survived all the storms.

Alex panted and asked his sister if she wanted to show her trump card. Dusha shook her head slightly. It was not the right time yet. Wait a minute.

The four candidates surrounded her and provoked her with words, but they all kept a certain distance tacitly.

"What a cute little sister, she is so beautiful even with a face full of dust!"

"Lord, go and kiss her. The saint candidate must remain pure. This is a rare opportunity. She will be eliminated today."

"Why me?"

"You are the only man. If you don't kiss her, who else can you kiss?"

"Ah, this..."

The four candidates talked one after another, and slowly narrowed the encirclement like a crosstalk. Because they were allies who were as solid as a rock, they all wanted their allies to take action.

No one was a fool. They guessed that Alex and his sister still had trump cards that they hadn't revealed.

"Since no one dared to kiss, why don't I do it for you!"

Wayne's voice spread through the thick fog. The source of the sound was unpredictable, and it could be anywhere.

The four candidates retreated cautiously to one place, guarding against the possible sneak attack at any time, and then saw Wayne and Veronica walked out openly.

No sneak attack.

The four of them were all stunned. Giving up the advantage of being in the dark while the enemy was in the light, they were either extremely confident in their own strength, or they were brainless fools.

The candidates for the saints are all elites in various divisions, and the possibility of being fools is extremely low. Even if there are really fools with explosive talents, they will be accompanied by a think tank.

Needless to say, the comer appeared openly, and must be too powerful to be attacked by sneak attacks.

"Alex, you are in such a miserable situation. It seems that I need to re-evaluate our alliance relationship."

Wayne mocked loudly, and then said: "Sister Dusha, you are not a good brother. Listen to me, come and be my sister, and Brother Wayne will love you."

Dusha turned her head and raised a middle finger to Wayne in her heart.

Alex smiled bitterly and shook his head, without explaining anything. When the allies entered the scene, he was relieved.

Having been neighbors for more than a month, he has some understanding of Wayne. He believes that the century-old friendship does exist. At least now Wayne will not tear up the non-aggression treaty.

"Next is our turn... brother and sister."

Wayne originally wanted to fight four people alone, but seeing Veronica eager to try, he decisively changed to mixed doubles and smiled at the other side: "Don't panic, two against four, you have the advantage in numbers."

After the voice fell, he clenched his fist and swung it forward.

The wind howled, the chaotic fog sea exploded, and the strong wind pushed away the fog vortex. The branches swayed wildly in the wind, and the twisted trees bent their waists and made a creaking sound under the heavy load.

The violent hurricane came in front of them, and the four candidates retreated away one after another, and the formation was dispersed in an instant.

Swish!

The fog exploded behind Wayne, and Veronica rushed out first and picked the saint candidate with the best figure.

There was no other meaning, and it was definitely not to guard against Wayne, nor because this person's figure was very similar to Willie.

"One against three, your numbers are more advantageous." Wayne's mouth curled up, and he walked into the fog with his fists clenched.

Five minutes later.

"Behave yourself, men stand on the left, women stand on the right, hands against the tree, whoever doesn't obey, I will take off their clothes."

Wayne scolded the four captives to obey, turned to Veronica and said: "They are indeed the elites of the major divisions, shouting love and bond and so on and rushed over, I lost my mind and almost got defeated by the three of them."

Veronica rolled her eyes: "How are you going to deal with these four guys?"

"Kill the men and leave the women."

"Be serious."

Very serious, okay, the rules of the rivers and lakes have always been like this, unless it is Water Margin.

Wayne complained in his heart, looking at the four candidates with angry faces, and glared at them fiercely: "What are you looking at? If you are not as good as others, just obey. This is an examination room, and the invigilators are watching. You don't want to be eliminated because you are not wearing clothes, right?"

The lethality is off the charts, not only the opponents, but also the people themselves are panicking.

Alex clenched his fist and coughed wildly, reminding Wayne not to talk nonsense, because there was really an invigilator grading on the side.

Wayne said it didn't matter. He had already decided to withdraw from the selection. If nothing unexpected happened, this would be his last assessment. Instead of pretending to be a gentleman and being tied up, it would be better to do whatever he wants.

"Why don't I come up with an idea!"

Dusha raised her hand weakly and said the most cruel execution method in the most gentle words: "Wayne, kiss all four of them and make them lose their qualification to advance."

As expected of you, you are so petty.

Wayne rolled his eyes at Dusha and said unhappily: "Impossible, Veronica knows me, I can kiss anything but men."

"Shut up, who told you to care about her."

Veronica kicked Wayne on the leg and said unhappily: "Dusha, we saved you and your sister once, it's time for you to repay us, let your brother kiss all four of them."

Alex: That's not necessary.

The two female college students had a fierce argument about who was on top and who was kissed, and they all asked the other's brother to kiss them.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing, I'll say something fair."

Wayne waved his hand to separate the two: "I'll be a little aggrieved, kiss more, three women belong to me, Alex was just injured, and he can't keep up with the physical strength, just kiss one man, it's a perfect solution to the problem."

"The man belongs to you too, you are from Windsor." Dusha disagreed.

"You are stereotyping..."

After a lot of bargaining, no one kissed in the end.

Wayne was just talking. He valued first kisses very much and would not give them away just because the other party was beautiful. He took a villa and gave it to Alex and his sister, and let the four candidates compete for the other villa.

With a move of alienation, the alliance relationship between the four people instantly became tense.

Wшw⊙ тTkan⊙ co

After hiding the birth point, Alex and his sister looked for teleportation magic stones. They had made a deal with Wayne and knew where there were ready-made stones to pick up.

Wayne was also not vague. If he didn't make a move, it would be fine. If he made a move, he broke the record of passing the level. He easily got four magic stones, activated the teleportation array and the villa and entered the next copy.

According to the rules, in this map, he and Veronica no longer have a hundred-year friendship alliance.

And there is only one competitor.

According to the arrangement of Senna and Tubie, his opponent in the last battle of the Saint Selection is Flora's student Otilia.

"The referees are all my people, what can you use to fight me..."

Wayne looked at the dark sky and the blue water ball in the distance. Although he had already looked at the map, his heart still beat faster.

On the desolate surface of the moon, a villa stood alone. From a distance, the blue water ball was magnificent and quietly suspended in the starry universe.

At the highest point of the barrier that shielded the vacuum universe, a ruby ​​glowed and burned like a living thing.
