Restarting the myth.

Chapter 247 The referees are all my people, what can you use to fight me
4 month 2 day.

After twenty days of rest, the second round of the assessment for the Saint Maiden candidates began.

The magician engineering team at the headquarters worked hard for a long time and built a teleportation array around the villa. After several tests, they teleported away along with the villa and the candidate.

……

Mist.

The forest shrouded in heavy fog seemed to be at the end of the world, and a gloomy atmosphere permeated the air. 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 chilly wind blew past, accompanied by the rustling of leaves, and the sharp cries of unknown wild animals, as if the souls of the dead had come alive, replaying the desolation of their death again and again.

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

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

How evil!

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

According to the cheat sheet provided by Senna, the second round of assessment will be based on a points system, in a dungeon-breaking mode, and the points will be ranked according to the order in which the candidates clear the dungeons.

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

For example, the copy in front of you is called the Mist 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 own villas as their bases, collect four teleportation magic stones, and activate the teleportation array to enter the next copy.

There are a lot of magic stones, enough for all candidates to enter the last copy.

In principle, one villa is equipped with four magic stones. 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.

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

When dreams become reality and when regulations encounter special circumstances, flexibility is understandable.

Back to the topic, Wayne walked around the villa, his mind scattered, trying to merge with nature. A cold whisper like a curse came into his ears, telling of the horror of the Death Forest.

People have different physiques. Other magicians find the whispering maddening, but Wayne just thinks this forest is very noisy.

He can merge, but the lifeless Mist Forest can hardly provide him with any support. Instead, he has to use his own vitality to make up for the lack of balance.

Don’t contact me anymore. I don’t have poor relatives like you.

Wayne ended the conversation and suddenly became curious about the forest. The Book of Greed poked its head in and said that there were desserts of darkness and death in the forest that he could have a snack on.

And because the dessert portion was too small, the Book of Greed was not very motivated and was too lazy to stretch out its tentacles and waste time.

"Look how much I spoil you. You just eat too much good stuff..."

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

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

"No way, where did you grow flesh?"

Veronica was shocked. She had been exercising less recently and eating a lot of sweets, and she felt that her weight was out of control.

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

It just lacks an assistant.

Look, it's growing up as I wear it.

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 have entered the competition, we must take first place."

"Friendship comes first, competition comes second. Winning or not is not important, participation is what matters..."

Wayne shrugged, squatted down with his hands on the ground, and released magic power to activate the roots of the trees underground.

Amid the rumbling sound of the earth, vine tentacles rolled up the soil, wrapping the villa and sinking it deep into the ground.

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

It’s stable now!

Veronica nodded secretly. She never doubted the magical talent of social scum. Everyone she had seen said good things about them and had never seen a bad review.

"I suddenly remembered that there's no need to bury it so deep. The rules only say that you need to collect the magic stone to teleport to the next level, but they don't say that you have to use your own villa."

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

"Great! I suddenly thought of a lot of new tactics that I can put into practice."

"It's too slow. It's not as fast as this." Veronica shook her fist.

Right.

It makes sense and requires no brains.

Wayne agreed with Veronica's suggestion and used his fists as the first tactic. He scattered his mind and explored the surrounding environment in order to determine his position on the map.

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

The fog interfered with his thinking. Every time it spread towards the surrounding area, 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 expanded, the Book of Greed gave him several more reminders that there were a large number of vengeful spirits in the forest, and several of them could sign contracts to become spirits of vengeance.

"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 time before. During that time, the Book of Greed suggested that Lundan had several good potential stocks, but he ignored them all.

Indeed, the Spirit of Vengeance can bring new talents to Wayne, such as Abin's super sense of smell and supernatural perception, and Abo's super vision, which are all extremely practical abilities.

Moreover, Abin and Abo each have their own areas of expertise, one controls the thick fog, and the other controls the river water. As Wayne's strength increases and the Book of Greed continues to strengthen, the abilities of the two spirits of vengeance also increase.

However, Wayne's own progress was too fast, and it seemed that the Spirit of Vengeance had a hard time keeping up with his pace. Those talents were not as useful as his ability to tap into his own potential.

Moreover, the two old employees both have the attribute of earthbound spirits. After dying in Lundan, they will take root in Lundan. Even if Wayne wants a new spirit of revenge, he will not recruit people in the Mist Forest.

The location is unknown, and it is most likely an alien space controlled by the headquarters of the Church of Nature.

Hiring people in the Mist Forest is too cost-effective. In comparison, local people from Lundan are better because they are available on call and will not take long vacations.

However, since he was already here, Wayne decided to see what these evil spirits were like.

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

Soon, Wayne's face looked strange.

These evil spirits...

All girls.

The body of a girl who was about the same age as Veronica had decayed into mud, and her mind and soul had been imprisoned by the darkness of death, transforming into a special spirit.

Similar to ghosts, they have translucent spirit bodies, some with broken heads and some with mutilated limbs. They all look miserable when they die, and their voices and smiles make people's scalps tingle.

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

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

It's rolled up!

Wayne counted them one by one. There were twelve vengeful spirits. Each of them had a good appearance when they were alive. They looked very much like...

Saint candidate.

"It shouldn't happen that someone will die during the Saint Maiden Examination. I haven't heard the teacher say that..."

Wayne muttered to himself, closed the Book of Greed, and did not sign a contract with anyone.

The vengeful spirits did not receive a response, their resentment grew, and they returned to the midnight horror movie set once again.

When Wayne first entered the Mist Forest, he felt pretty bad. The tragic deaths of these candidates for the Saint proved that the church headquarters was filthy and with so much resentment, they must have been very unhappy before they died.

For a moment, Wayne couldn't help feeling a bit of pity, and almost signed twelve employees in a row.

It’s a pity that I can’t sign it because it’s too far from London.

Wayne felt deeply regretful and was about to turn the page when he caught a glimpse of Veronica beside him.

Although they are all candidates for the saint, the differences between people are really huge. With a good brother like him around, Veronica will definitely not end up dying in a foreign land.

Because of Veronica, Wayne felt sympathy for the twelve vengeful spirits again. After pondering for a moment, his conscience could not bear it and he decided to ask Senna after passing the level.

If possible, add Kirigakure Forest to the terms of cooperation.

"Alas, I am too kind..." Wayne sighed and quickened his pace to move forward.

I'm sick again!

Veronica tilted her head and followed behind Wayne, suspecting that the social scum had traded with the bad woman, and that the pressure was too great, which led to her constant mumbling in recent days. Otherwise, how about rewarding him more?
----

boom!
In a corner of the forest, several large trees broke one after another, and the thick fog was pushed aside by the air waves, leaving a brief 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 Forest, they did not meet their Windsor allies, with whom they had been friends for a hundred years, at the first opportunity.

The birth point was located between the villas of the two major district candidates of Iberia and Gris. Even more unfortunate was that these four saint candidates reached a cooperative relationship.

Two against four, they were at a disadvantage as soon as they met.

Eight candidates were arranged in the Hidden Mist Forest. The Alex siblings arrived at the doorsteps of their competitors as soon as they appeared. Their luck was extremely bad.

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

Both candidates in the Iberia division are women, and in the Gris division there is a man and a woman, who appear to be sisters and brothers to the outside world. Dusha is still observing who is the candidate and who is the bodyguard.

All four candidates have good looks. Even the male bodyguard who has been confirmed has a look comparable to Alex, a standard handsome man.

If it's two-on-two, Alex is not at all inferior to his opponent, but when it's two-on-four, with opponents that are multiple times larger than him, he can't do anything even if he wants to.

Dusha gave her brother a look.

drag!
Until the ally with whom he had a century-old friendship arrived.

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

All six of them were covered in dust and dirt.

In a situation where they have the advantage in numbers, the four candidates from Iberia and Gris merely have the upper hand but do not crush the opponent, which shows that the two divisions are losing their former glory due to the decline of talent.

Of course, it can also be said that the Frankish division remains strong and has weathered all the storms.

Alex was breathing heavily, and looked at his sister asking if she wanted to show her cards. Dusha shook her head slightly, saying that it was not the right time yet and she should wait a little longer.

The four candidates surrounded him and made provocative remarks, but they all tacitly kept a certain distance.

"What a cute little sister, she's so pretty even with a face full of dust!"

"Lord, go and kiss her. The Saint candidate must remain pure. This is a rare opportunity. We will eliminate her today."

"why me?"

"You are the only man, if you don't kiss me, who else should I kiss?"

"Ah this..."

The four candidates chatted with each other, slowly shrinking the encirclement like a crosstalk. Because they were solid allies, they all wanted their allies to take action.

No one is stupid enough to guess that the Alex siblings still have some hidden cards up their sleeves.

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

Wayne's voice spread through the thick fog. The source of the sound was elusive, coming from the left and right, and could be anywhere.

The four candidates cautiously retreated to a place, guarding against possible sneak attacks at any time, and then they saw Wayne and Veronica walking out openly.

No sneak attacks.

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

The candidates for the Saint are all elites from various major divisions, and the possibility of them being foolish is extremely low. Even if there is a fool with extraordinary talent, he or she will be accompanied by a think tank.

Needless to say, the person who came showed up openly, so he must be too powerful to launch a sneak attack.

"Alex, this is going badly. I think I need to re-evaluate our alliance."

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 gave Wayne the middle finger in her heart.

Alex smiled bitterly and shook his head without explaining anything. He breathed a sigh of relief when his allies entered the scene.

After being neighbors for more than a month, he had some understanding of Wayne and believed that the century-old friendship did exist. At least now Wayne would not tear up the non-aggression treaty.

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

Wayne originally wanted to play one against four, 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."

As soon as he finished speaking, he clenched his fist and swung it forward.

The wind howled and roared, the chaotic sea of ​​fog exploded, and the strong wind quickly moved away like a vortex of fog. The branches swayed wildly in the wind, and the twisted trees bent their waists and creaked under the heavy weight.

A violent hurricane was approaching, and the four candidates retreated one after another, their formation being broken up in an instant.

Swish!
A ball of fog exploded behind Wayne, and Veronica rushed out first, picking out the saint candidate with the best figure.

I didn't mean anything else. I was definitely not on guard against Wayne, and it wasn't because this person's figure was very similar to Willy's.

"One against three, you have the advantage in numbers." Wayne curled his lips and walked into the fog with his fists clenched.

five minutes later.

"Behave yourself. Men stand on the left, women stand on the right, with your hands against the tree. I will take off the clothes of anyone who doesn't obey."

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

Veronica rolled her eyes: "What are you going to do with these four guys?"

"Kill the men and leave the women alone."

"Be serious."

It’s very serious, okay? The rules of the underworld have always been like this, unless it’s the 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 skilled as others, just obey them. This is an examination room, and the invigilators are watching. You don't want to be eliminated because you have no clothes on, do you?"

The destructive power was off the charts, and not only the opponents but also our own people were panicking.

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

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 feeling constrained and uncomfortable, he might as well do whatever makes him happy.

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

Dusha raised her hand weakly and said the cruelest way of execution in the most gentle words: "Wayne, kiss all four of them and make them disqualified from advancing."

As expected of you, you are so narrow-minded.

Wayne rolled his eyes at Dusha and said unhappily, "Impossible, Veronica knows me. I will kiss anything but a man."

"Shut up, who told you to pay attention to 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 heated argument over who should be on top and who should be kissed, and each asked the other's brother to kiss her.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing. Let me say something fair."

Wayne waved his hand to separate the two: "I'll bear with it a little bit, kiss more people, the three women are mine, Alex was just injured, and his physical strength can't keep up, so just kiss one man, it will be a perfect solution to the problem."

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

“You are stereotyping…”

After some bargaining, in the end, no one got kissed.

Wayne was just talking. He attached great importance to first kiss and would not give it to someone just because they were pretty. He took one villa and gave it to Alex and his sister, and let the four candidates compete for the other villa.

With a tactic of sowing discord, the relationship between the four allies instantly became tense.

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

Wayne was also not vague. If he didn't take action, it would be fine. But when he took action, he broke the record and easily got four magic stones. He 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 century-old friendship as allies.

And there is only one competitor.

With the arrangement of Senna and Tubie, his opponent in the final battle of the Saint Selection is Flora's student Ottilia.

"The referees are all my people, what do you have to fight me..."

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

On the desolate surface of the moon, a villa stands alone. From a distance, the blue water ball is magnificent, quietly floating in the starry universe.

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