When the white light dissipated, Rhodes found that they were in a huge hall again.
The light here is relatively dark, using copper lamps instead of flames for lighting. The hall is full of tables, chairs, bookshelves and scattered items, making it very messy.
There was a long queue at the long table on one side of the hall.
A middle-aged man ran over.
"Your Excellency, Archbishop, is this the last batch of freshmen? Why is there only this one?"
"Something happened in the upper city. I sent over the students who had already lit the fire. I'll leave the rest to you. I have to move another group of people to a safe location."
The middle-aged man asked hesitantly: "Is it because of the black tide?"
The archbishop's face was gloomy and he answered briefly: "Not entirely, there is a loophole in the silver oath. Your Excellency the officiant has already passed. You will not be affected. I'm leaving."
After saying that, it turned into a stream of light and flew away.
The middle-aged man looked very sad, but when he saw them in the blink of an eye, he smiled again.
"Students, follow me. That is the checkpoint of the Industrial Machinery Research Institute. They will check your sequence and soul characteristics and assign you to a department."
He led them to line up behind a long queue and began to tell them constantly about the rules and regulations of the college, occasionally interspersing the glorious achievements and long history of the college.
From him, Rhodes mainly obtained a key piece of information.
Jinworth College was established by an organization called the Jinworth Society. The original goal of this organization was to study the origin of the black fog and ways to eliminate it. Now it has become the highest academic organization in the royal city, and its research scope has expanded extremely widely. , many decisions of the Royal City Council will be consulted before being made.
"For text problems, maybe we can ask the Jinworth Society for help."
Rhodes thought, but now he is more worried about the detection issue.
If the test fails, or if any contraindications are detected, he may face disaster.
The boy who had just been burned to ashes was still vivid in his mind.
Worried, Rhodes quickly approached the checkpoint.
It is a disk-shaped device. The tester stands on it and puts his hand on the crystal ball on the long table, and the corresponding text will appear on the crystal ball.
The inspector confirms the capabilities or characteristics after identification and records them.
This work is not very smooth. Sometimes the response of the crystal ball is very slow, and sometimes the text that appears is very difficult to understand. The inspector needs to repeatedly consult various books and materials to confirm.
And now this one has been a long time coming.
Wayne complained behind him: "The weird things created by the weirdos in the Industrial Machinery Research Institute are not reliable at all."
——
"Test subject, Annavista of Vengerberg, belongs to the sequence, spiritual fire. Soul characteristic, radiance of the moon. A type of long-range combatant, it is recommended to be assigned to a department, one department, one department, salary level, special grade."
Finally, the test results came out, and there was a burst of exclamation all around.
Annavista was a tall girl with long hair shawl-shouldered. She had a cold face and seemed not surprised by this. She calmly walked off the device without paying attention to the envious eyes around her.
Maybe the last one was delayed for too long and the next one came out quickly.
"The subject, Red Bee from Qianhu Town, belongs to the sequence, Spark. The number of soul fires that have been ignited is two, the type of fire, body of steel, immortal body. For the first type of combatants, it is recommended to be assigned to departments, three houses and one department. Pay grade, Level II.”
There was also a small exclamation from the surroundings. Red Bee walked off the device happily, and someone immediately picked her up on the other side.
Rhodes asked in a low voice: "Wayne, what does sequence mean? How are the departments divided?"
Wayne explained seriously.
"Kingworth College is divided into three colleges, each with ten departments. The departments have different emphases and different teaching staff. But in general, one college and one department is the best. You can start from salary It can be seen from the level, those who get the special salary are the top students."
"There are two types of fire bearers. One is that the entire soul is ignited during the trial, showing complete soul characteristics. This type is called the fire soul giver, or spiritual fire for short."
"The other kind of soul is not completely ignited, but leaves a "fire" in the soul. Later, through hard training, more fires can be ignited. Each time a fire is ignited, a new ability is gained. This is called The Empowerer of Fire, or Starfire for short.”
Rhodes yelled: "Which sequence is stronger?"
Wayne replied: "Spirit fire is generally considered to be stronger than Star Fire. In the past, scholars in the royal city believed that Spirit Fire obtained complete soul characteristics, while Star Fire's fire ability was a fragment of the soul characteristics. No matter how many fragments it obtained, it could not be stronger than Complete features.”
"Later, Master Alan appeared, and this view was shattered. The Spark Sequence also received high attention. Although it is still not as good as the Spirit Fire, it is much better than before."
"Who is Alan?"
Wayne's tone suddenly became very respectful.
"The strongest man of the Knights, the First Knight. He ignited nineteen fires and broke all past records. He is my most admired hero."
When Rhodes was about to ask again, it was his turn at the checkpoint.
He took a breath, stood up on the device, and placed his hand on the crystal ball.
After a long time, a line of text appeared on the crystal ball.
As soon as the inspector saw the words on the crystal ball, his brows knitted together.
He rummaged through the pile of books under the table for a long time and finally took out a dusty tome.
The inspector put on his monocle, opened the tome, and struggled to find the information he needed in the small print.
"... dim, dark in color, gluttonous, easy to digest, absorb, chew... what the hell is this?"
The inspector thought about it for a long time and pulled out several strands of his hair before he finally finished writing his information.
"The subject, Rhodes from Red Stone Village, belongs to the sequence, Spark. The number of soul fires that have been ignited is one, the fire type, black rice bucket, combat or auxiliary personnel (doubtful), recommended department allocation, three houses and ten departments, salary level , level nine.”
The moment he finished reading, there was a burst of laughter around him, among which the fat red-haired man Hambrin had the loudest voice.
"Hahaha, black rice bucket, did you hear that? This is the first time I heard such a weird name. Congratulations on adding a new record to the big library."
"I bet that no one will awaken the same fire as you in the next hundred years."
"Shut up!"
A middle-aged man ran over from behind the team and stopped their ridicule.
"He will go to the front line like us in the future, and will protect our homeland like us. Who do you have the right to laugh at? Remember, never point the edge at our companions, that is reserved for those bastards in the black mist of."
He turned around and said to Rhodes kindly.
"Don't be discouraged, young man. You are more than just a firebrand. Think of Alan. As long as you study hard and train hard, everything will be fine."
Wayne also whispered in his ear: "Ignore that idiot."
Rhodes pretended to accept it humbly, but he breathed a long sigh of relief.
——He was finally temporarily safe.
The twists and turns along the way were really unspeakable, but fortunately, we finally got through it without any danger.
From now on, he will be a student of Kingworth Academy.
With such an identity, the House of Internal Affairs should have some scruples.
The crisis was finally far away from him for the time being. He finally took a crucial step and had a little breathing space.
"Maybe."
Rhodes looked at Wayne who was nervously stepping onto the detection device, and a strong and strange emotion suddenly arose in his heart.
"I really have to find a way to adapt to life here."
——
——
The test was completed quickly. Wayne was also in the Spark Sequence. He only had one Soul Fire. The type was Guardian Crystal. It didn't seem to be very strong. Like Rhodes, he had a ninth-level salary and was also divided into three houses and ten departments.
Hambrin, the fat red-haired man, is in the spiritual fire sequence, and his soul attribute is gaseous control. He received a third-level salary and was assigned to the second department of the third hospital.
Because of this, this guy kept talking trash and taunting them, making Wayne's cheeks red with anger.
But other than that, there were no twists and turns. On the contrary, Hamblin was too proud and was caught by the sharp-eyed teacher of the college. He was punished before enrolling.
Wayne smiled happily, but Rod just thought he was a fly and didn't pay much attention to him from beginning to end.
It is worth mentioning that the blonde girl Kashan is also assigned to the three houses and ten departments. She is a spark with two fire types and a third-level salary.
This made Hamblin's statement that "the three colleges and ten departments are a garbage dump" self-defeating, and made Wayne feel better.
For most, it was a pleasant day.
The experience during the final exam was diluted by the joy of entering the academy.
After a while, the freshmen who passed the test followed their teachers to Jinworth College, which they had been waiting for.
This is a very, very large college located in the inner city of Xiacheng District. It covers a very large area and has dedicated teaching buildings, dormitories, restaurants, libraries, training grounds, broadcast towers, astronomy buildings, and medical offices.
There are also lakes, lawns, gardens, fountains, etc. in the campus, and all facilities are available.
This is an academic institution built with the efforts of the entire kingdom, so it is naturally of extraordinary magnanimity.
It is said that it cannot be placed in the upper city just because the area is too large.
But in the Lower Town, it is no less protected than the Upper Town and the Royal Palace.
Only second to the Holy Fire.
The treatment of its students is also luxurious. As the lowest salary, Rhodes can receive forty-two silver cables every week, as well as fixed distribution of materials, and does not have to pay any money, tuition and fees, book fees, Accommodation fees are not covered by them.
Students who do not have to bear any fees and are still paid have extraordinary significance.
"Maybe."
Rhodes thought optimistically.
"I'm actually safe."
