Wizards are mighty.

Chapter 34 Ansu's Test
"Silver box, 5,000 points, not bad."

Vic casually inserted the ID card into the card slot of the box, looked at the numbers flashing silver on the box, and nodded with satisfaction.

This game is actually very simple. It requires the well-tested apprentices to search for various treasure chests hidden on the island.

There are four types of treasure chests: copper chest, silver chest, gold chest, and gem chest.

The first two types of boxes give point rewards, while the gold box will give some special things, such as rare high-level witchcraft, combat wizard weapons, a lot of knowledge or points, etc.

The most special thing is that there is only one gem box on the entire island, which is said to give the person who opens it the most needed item.

Except for the gem box that has been confirmed to be hidden on the top of the mountain, the other boxes are hidden in various corners of the island.

Fortunately, these boxes can be detected by mental power, so it is not difficult for the apprentices to find them.

Of course, all this is not given for free.

In the process of apprentices searching for treasure chests, they will encounter various dangers from time to time. Traps and monsters guarding treasure chests are very common.

If you don't know your own limitations, no one will care even if you die on the island.

It seemed that as the wooden boat got closer to the shore, the tests became more and more brutal.

……

“Gaga gaga gaga gaga gaga gaga… Young apprentice, welcome, welcome. I am Ansu, the God of Crows. May I ask if this is the gold box, the silver box, or the tattered copper box that you dropped?”

A crow with a strange squawk suddenly blocked Vic's way.

There was a red light flashing in its eyes, and its pair of black wings suddenly spread out, stirring up a gust of black wind.

After the black wind swept past, a glittering golden box, a glittering silver box, and a tattered copper box appeared in front of Vic at the same time.

The road up the mountain was completely blocked.

"Oh? Are you asking me?"

Vic was immediately delighted.

"In fact, I dropped all these boxes. Even you, I dropped you."

He picked up a branch and tapped the crow's head gently.

"How about it, are you willing to be my pet?"

"Quack, quack, quack, quack!"

The crow named Ansu made a few strange noises in dissatisfaction and flapped Vic's branches away with its wings.

"You guys don't play by the rules at all."

"Okay, okay. To tell you the truth, if you want to get these boxes, you have to pass my test."

"Answer two questions correctly and you'll get a bronze box. Answer three questions correctly and you'll get a silver box. Answer four questions correctly and all three boxes will be yours!"

"If you can answer five questions correctly..."

“Haha, haha, haha, haha, you will get the favor of the great Lord Ansu. How about it? Are you moved?”

The crow seemed to reveal a human-like sly smile, flapping its wings and flying around Vic.

"Of course, if you don't answer any questions correctly, or only answer one question correctly, there will be a small penalty."

"That's death!"

The crow landed on the golden chest and slammed it with its claws.

“Quack, quack, quack…Now please listen to the question!”

“Suppose you are driving a horse-drawn carriage down an alley, and two roads fork in front of you.”

"Because the carriage is going too fast, you can't stop it, so you have to choose a fork in the road. If you don't choose, you will crash into the wall and turn into meat paste!"

"There is an alien on the fork on your left, and five aliens on the fork on your right. If they are hit by the carriage, they will die!"

"Which way are you going?"

Ansu laughed strangely, "Friendly reminder, if you get the first question wrong, you won't be able to answer the following questions, and you'll be dead!" After getting the question, Vic thought about it.

"Which way? Is that even a question?"

"Of course I will go whichever way I want. I will let anyone who submits to me live, and I will kill anyone who dares to resist!"

In less than three seconds, Vic had his answer.

“Hahahahahahaha… Not bad, you passed!”

"Then please listen to the second question!"

"Now it's not a fork in the road, but a straight road and a blocked path!"

"You are not in a carriage, but you are on a high place watching this tragedy that is about to happen."

"There is a wizard who has lost his power on the straight road, and all your belongings, including your favorite slave, are on the blocked path."

"If you use witchcraft to clear the obstacles on the path, the carriage will drive into the path. If you do nothing, the carriage will hit the wizard on the straight road and kill him."

"Choose quickly, quack quack quack!"

Ansu opened his crow's mouth and spit out a puff of black smoke, which quickly condensed on the ground into the scene it depicted.

"I chose to use witchcraft to stop the carriage."

This time, Vic didn't even think about it.

"However, if the carriage cannot be stopped, and no other means can be used to prevent this tragedy from happening, then you must choose one of the two."

"Then I choose to do nothing and let the carriage run over the wizard."

"Huh? Why?"

Ansu tilted his head, "Just a friendly reminder, many other apprentices chose to save the wizard."

"Do you think your answer can pass this test?"

After hearing what Ansu said, Vic shook his head indifferently.

"Sacrificing one's own interests to help other wizards, perhaps many wizards would make such a choice."

"But in wizard-centrism, any sacrifice and dedication are not encouraged unless the wizard himself is willing to do so."

"So even if I make this choice, you can't say I made the wrong choice."

"And based on my guess, I'm afraid lying is the real wrong answer, right?"

Ansu quacked excitedly a few more times.

"Not bad, not bad, kid, you are very smart."

"Using witchcraft to stop the carriage is the correct answer. Our wizard civilization is fully capable of doing so."

"Of course, the other two choices can't be said to be wrong."

"The reason for choosing rescue is that according to the Wizard Mutual Aid Compensation Ordinance, if a wizard voluntarily sacrifices his own interests to save other wizards in danger of life, then the Eternal Wizard Council will compensate his losses and even give him additional rewards."

"Even resurrection! It's no problem!"

"And the reasons for not rescuing are what you just mentioned."

"The real wrong answer is being stupid and lying!"

Ansu jumped in front of Vic.

"Question three, let's begin!"

Just as Vic was waiting for it to ask a question, it suddenly flapped its wings.

A cloud of black smoke enveloped Vic.

Feeling drowsy, Vic forced himself to pull himself together and resist the sudden attack.
