The Wizarding Age: I Can Explain Everything

Chapter 92
After hearing Gu Lin's words, Yin Guang glanced at her expressionlessly, but did not respond.

Gu Lin didn't care, and said with a smile: "Besides, your cousin and Pei Ze are senior sisters and brothers, and they have a good relationship. Even from your cousin's point of view, you have to treat Pei Ze better." .”

As soon as these words came out, Yin Guang finally couldn't maintain his expression, his cheeks twitched, showing a constipated expression.

Gu Lin smiled secretly.

The Gu family and the Yin family have always had a good relationship, so the young people from the two families are familiar with each other and occasionally interact with each other on weekdays.

As far as Gu Lin knows, Yin Guang has been secretly treating Pei Ze as a strong enemy ever since he was overwhelmed by Pei Ze in the freshman trial. The wizard tower has been closed for a while.

As a result, when he came out of the wizard tower, he learned that Pei Ze had killed the legendary knight.

Gu Lin still remembers that Yin Guang's expression at that time was particularly wonderful.

However, she can also understand that after all, the object she has worked so hard to surpass has suddenly improved by leaps and bounds, and the gap with her has not narrowed, but has become wider and wider.

This gap between ideal and reality will hit anyone hard.

what?
You asked her why she knew Yin Guang's expression at that time?
Of course it was because she told Yin Guang the news herself!
In addition to this, Gu Lin also knew that Yin Guang had a good impression of his cousin Yin Xue.

Because of this, Yin Guang was naturally somewhat displeased with Pei Ze, a man whose talent and strength far surpassed him, and who was also very close to Yin Xue.

Just as Gu Lin was thinking about whether to tease Yin Guang some more, he suddenly caught a glimpse of several people walking towards him from the corner of his eye.

After seeing the leader's face clearly, the girl curled her lips secretly.

Yin Guang also noticed the person coming, and frowned unabashedly, showing a disgusted expression.

"Long time no see, Yin Guang, I heard that you went to retreat some time ago, what's the matter, did you gain anything?"

The leading young man came to Yin Guang and greeted him with a smile on his face.

Yin Guang snorted coldly: "Whether there is any gain, you will know if you fight with me."

"That's a good suggestion." The young man squinted his eyes and smiled, "Then make an appointment and let's go to the duel field to compete."

In just a few words, the tension between the two was so strong that others could clearly see it.

The surrounding wizard apprentices calmly distanced themselves from the two of them.

A younger wizard apprentice curiously asked the senior student next to him: "Who is that person? Why does he seem to have a bad relationship with Yin Guang?"

"That's Meng Kai from Shadow Academy. His older brother Mengwei and Yin Xue from our academy are recognized competitors."

The young apprentice suddenly understood.

Meng Kai didn't care about the discussions around him, and turned his head to greet Gu Lin.

"Long time no see, Gu Lin."

Gu Linai responded indifferently.

The Meng family is a blood family as famous as the Pei family. It is at loggerheads with the Yin family, and its relationship with their Gu family is not much better.

Besides, Meng Kai was arrogant, so Gu Lin always looked down upon him.

Meng Kai didn't care about Gu Lin's ignorance, he looked up at the light curtain in the sky, and said, "I heard that an apprentice named Pei Ze from your academy participated in the competition this year?"

Yin Guang snorted coldly: "Asking even though you know clearly."

Meng Kai chuckled and said: "I heard that Pei Ze is a first-year student like you, but he has killed the legendary knight. He must be very strong. I suddenly look forward to his performance in this trial."

These words were obviously praising Pei Ze, but anyone could hear the strong irony in Meng Kai's tone.

Apparently he didn't believe the rumors to be true.

Gu Lin rolled his eyes, and suddenly said: "From your tone, it seems that you don't believe that Pei Ze can get the spot in the competition?"

Meng Kai smiled and did not answer the question, but showed an undisguised sarcasm on his face.

Gu Lin saw this and smiled: "How about we make a bet on whether Pei Ze can get a place in the competition!"

As soon as these words came out, Meng Kai and Yin Guang were both taken aback.

Meng Kai frowned slightly, staring at Gu Lin's expression for a few times, wondering why she suddenly proposed a bet.

Yin Guang also frowned and quietly gave Gu Lin a communication technique.

"What are you thinking of?"

"Nothing, just making some extra money."

".Is that why you trust Pei Ze?"

Yin Guang was very puzzled by Gu Lin's plan.

Even if Pei Ze has a record of killing legendary knights, so what?

Among the wizard apprentices who participated in the trial, those with the same or even greater strength could not be counted on two hands.

Not to mention that there are geniuses among geniuses like Sang Fan, Mengwei and Su Shouhai.

Pei Ze's hope of getting a place in the competition was really slim.

How did Gu Lin get such confidence in Pei Ze?
Gu Lin didn't answer Yin Guang's question, but looked at Meng Kai with a half-smile and asked, "How about it, do you want to bet?"

Meng Kai glanced at her, then at Yin Guang, as if he could see something from the latter's expression, he felt certain in his heart, narrowed his eyes and said, "What's the bet?"

Gu Lin put one hand on his hips, waved the other hand vigorously, and said boldly: "Five hundred magic stone coins!"

hiss!
Suddenly there was a sound of inhaling from all around.

The wizard apprentices who were eavesdropping on the conversation between the two took a deep breath.

Did they hear it right?

Five hundred magic stone coins?
This is enough to buy a first-order witch weapon of lower quality!

For many wizard apprentices, this is an astronomically huge amount of money!

Meng Kai's expression froze.

Although he is highly valued in the family, and he is allocated a lot of resources on weekdays, and his brother Mengwei also supports him from time to time, but it is not easy to take out five hundred magic stone coins all at once.

This is almost equivalent to his entire net worth.

"Hey, you can't even afford this little money, right?"

Gu Lin said in a drawn-out voice, and the volume was turned up particularly high, attracting more people's attention.

Sensing the strange gazes of the people around him, Meng Kai couldn't help but curse secretly, the members of the Gu family are indeed vulgar nouveau riche!

With a cold snort, he simply agreed.

"Okay, I'll bet you five hundred magic stone coins!"

He couldn't believe it. A wizard apprentice who had just been promoted for less than three months could still overwhelm many veteran wizard apprentices who had accumulated over the years!

Seeing Meng Kai agree, Gu Lin's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, and he immediately made a contract with Meng Kai.

With the constraints of the contract, there is no fear of the other party going back on their word.

Yin Guang watched the whole process and shook his head secretly.

Although he didn't know where Gu Lin's confidence came from, he knew that Gu Lin would probably lose.

Although Pei Ze has outstanding strength, in this kind of elite-gathering trial, there are many outstanding people. How can Pei Ze stand out?

If this trial is postponed for a few months and a half, and Pei Ze is given some time to grow, maybe he can still get a place in the competition.

Now.
Yin Guang shook his head.

Forget it, anyway, Gu Lin has plenty of money on hand, and losing five hundred magic stone coins is not a serious injury.

As the bet between Gu Lin and Meng Kai spread quickly, the crowd stirred up a stir. Many people were frightened by the astonishing bet of up to magic stone coins, and there was endless buzzing.

As a result, the name Pei Ze quickly attracted the attention of many people.

Countless curious or scrutinizing eyes focused on the picture where he was.

As if passing through a thin film, Pei Ze found himself in a spacious corridor after a moment of distraction.The entire corridor is about ten meters wide and nearly eight meters high. The walls, floor and ceiling on the left and right sides are all made of blue-gray rocks.

A torch was hung every five meters on the walls on both sides. The dim yellow light of the fire kept shaking, and even the halo reflected on the walls and the ground also turned on and off, adding a bit of gloom to the corridor.

Pei Ze looked back and saw that the door of light had disappeared, leaving only a thick wall.

After calming down, Pei Ze took out a long sword and held it in his palm, then stepped forward.

The rules of this trial are simpler than the previous freshman trials.

Especially since there are no rules against killing other participants.

Either prohibit or allow.

In other words, killing is allowed during the trial.

However, considering that everyone is assigned a teleportation ring, which can leave the maze instantly after activation, which is equivalent to having a life-saving item, so it is not easy to kill other participants.

Having said that, the fact that killing people is allowed will undoubtedly raise the intensity of the trial to a higher level.

despair!despair!
Pei Ze's footsteps echoed in the corridor, but there was no other sound.

Pei Ze didn't walk fast, he seemed to be walking slowly.

He was in no hurry.

The rules have long said that even if you get the iridescent gem in the center of the maze, you have to hold it until the end of the trial.

So even if someone gets the camouflage gem first, don't worry, just grab it when the time comes.

The Morning Council set this rule, which obviously encouraged the participants to fight with each other.

At the end of the corridor is a corner to the right.

After passing the corner, there is another long corridor with a length of more than a kilometer.

Four or five hundred meters away, more than a dozen thin figures wandered unsteadily in the middle of the corridor.

Pale bones, dilapidated leather armor, rusty weapons, and soul flames flickering in their eye sockets, they are the most common skeleton soldiers among undead creatures.

Pei Ze was not surprised. Since it is a maze, it is normal to arrange monsters.

The Dawn Council will not only let a group of participants fight each other, but will always add some other difficulties.

Soon, the skeleton soldiers discovered Pei Ze and immediately rushed towards him.

As cannon fodder among undead creatures, skeleton soldiers are not very powerful.

Any trainee knight can pick off four or five skeleton soldiers.

However, after getting closer, Pei Ze found that the appearance of these skeleton soldiers was somewhat unusual.

Their exposed bones had a faint sheen of jade, which seemed to have been strengthened.

After actually getting his hands on it, Pei Ze confirmed his guess.

These skeleton soldiers have indeed been strengthened to some extent, and their combat effectiveness is no less than that of junior knights.

However, this level of fighting power was still not enough for Pei Ze.

With a slight movement in his mind, the gray robe on his body shrank instantly, turning into a close-fitting hunting suit that was easy to move.

Then, without even casting a spell, he rushed forward with his sword, chopping all the skeleton soldiers into pieces like vegetables and watermelons.

Pei Ze continued to move forward with broken bones on the ground.

When you reach the end of the corridor, you will see a fork in the road, with two paths extending to different stone chambers.

The heavy stone door is closed tightly, and the scene behind the door cannot be seen.

Pei Ze paused in his footsteps, with a thoughtful look on his face.

To say that the most troublesome part of the maze, apart from the countless monsters, is the intricate roads and rooms.

Originally, places like the maze were most beneficial to wizards who specialize in divination.

Wizards of the School of Prophecy are not good at attacking or defending, but they have a large number of detection and detection spells, which are most suitable for navigating the maze.

However, those who participated in the trial were all wizard apprentices, and basically had no exposure to serious prophecy spells.

Among the spells they have mastered, there are only a few detection and detection spells that can be used in the maze, such as detecting secret doors, detecting magic, and detecting undead, which are really not very useful.

Therefore, except for a few wizard apprentices who have hole cards, most people can only explore the maze honestly.

Fortunately, Pei Ze happened to be one of the few people who had the hole cards.

As he thought slightly, the black bracelet on his wrist instantly fell apart, and a fog crow flew out of it, splitting into two waves and flying towards the left and right paths respectively, hitting the stone door like a cannonball.

Immediately, two loud bangs sounded almost at the same time, the stone door burst open, and the fog crows scrambled to rush into it.

Not long after, the sound of fierce fighting came from both rooms.

Through contact with Wu Yu, Pei Ze quickly learned about the situation in the room.

There are more than 20 strengthened skeleton soldiers wandering in the room on the left. Except for the stone gate, there is no other exit, which is obviously a dead end.

In the room on the right are three goblin bears.

Bear goblins are a subspecies of the goblin family, belonging to the category of goblin-like creatures.

They are burly, more than twice as tall as ordinary goblins, and have brutal and violent temperaments.

Adult bear goblins generally have the strength of intermediate and high-level knights.

A few elite individuals can reach the level of peak knights.

However, in front of Mist Crow, whose average combat power surpassed that of a peak knight and almost reached the level of a great knight, the three goblin bears couldn't even face each other, and they were torn to pieces.

Mistcrow then discovered a passage deeper into the room.

Pei Ze raised the corner of his mouth slightly and walked toward the room on the right.

Through the stone door deep in the room, Pei Ze came to a long corridor again.

There is nothing on the spacious corridor, and it is empty at first glance.

"I don't know how big this maze is."

Looking at the kilometer-long corridor, Pei Ze's eyes flashed slightly.

Considering that the trial lasts only 72 hours, the maze should not be that big no matter how big it is.

The key is to find the right way to quickly reach the center of the maze.

After gathering his composure, Pei Ze continued to move forward.

Walking on the empty corridor, he felt a sense of loneliness in an empty place alone.

But this feeling was soon broken.

There was a harsh sound of breaking through the air steeply above our heads.

Pei Ze didn't even think about it, and immediately jumped forward, the strong wind brushed against his back and hit the hard ground.

Immediately, a click was heard, the ground cracked, and gravel splashed out like bullets. It hit Pei Ze's gray robe with a crisp sound like hitting metal, and sparks flew everywhere.

Pei Zefu got up together, and slashed behind him with a backhand sword, the speed was faster than lightning.

The feeling of cutting flesh and blood soon came from the sword blade.

A burst of piercing screams suddenly sounded, piercing people's eardrums.

Only then did Pei Ze have the time to look at the appearance of the attacker.

It was an ugly monster that looked like a humanoid creature at first glance. It had a long and narrow head, a small and strong gray body with spots, and extremely slender limbs. It looked like tentacles made of multi-jointed cartilage, and the ends were like Spiny flesh pads that open like petals.

Choker!
A name instantly appeared in Pei Ze's mind.
