The grove outside the Imperial Camp.
Ofina crossed her arms in front of her and asked, "Tell me, brother, what do you want to ask when you go into the woods with us?"
"Do you feel that the spiritual beasts you faced when you simulated signing a spiritual contract actually exist?" Rogge asked.
Ophina and Filia were both shocked when they heard this, and they were silent and carefully recalled the scene during the simulation.
After a moment, Filia spoke first: "My simulation went very well. I couldn't see anything, but there is a possibility. Thinking about it now, the expression and performance of the flaming horse at that time were indeed very real."
Ophina then said: "After hearing what my brother said, I also feel that Xiaocai is real. Could it be that the spiritual beasts that appeared in the simulation are actually in the Secret Garden of Spirit Beasts?"
"Who is Xiaocai?" Rogge asked.
"That's the name I gave Phoenix."
Rogge: "...Okay, I'm 90% sure that they are real. The test pillars connect our consciousnesses in some way."
Filia said: "So, as long as you find a simulated spirit beast in the spirit beast secret garden, you can definitely sign a spiritual contract?"
Rogge said: "It should be like this."
"Then why didn't you succeed, brother? You shouldn't have failed after being up there for so long?"
"Xing Yaolong said I wasn't strong enough, so I didn't sign the spiritual contract, but it said it could ask its juniors to sign it."
"Really? That's great!" Ofina clapped her hands happily.
Filia asked: "Roger, what happened to you in the simulation? Why did you hug Nana right away?"
"That's right, Brother Se, why are you hugging me all of a sudden?"
"Well... Xing Yaolong tested me in the simulation. The last test was like this: everyone in an imperial city is in danger at the same time as you. I can only save one of them, and let me choose who to save. I hesitated and chose you." Rogge told the two girls what happened during the test.
"You passed the test, so this is the correct answer?" Filia asked.
"Xing Yaolong didn't say what was right. It said it was also looking for answers."
The three of them were silent for a while, and Ophina said angrily: "Oh, how do you choose? This Xingyao Dragon is really annoying!"
Filia said in agreement: "Yes. But Nana, if you had to choose, what would you choose?"
"I won't choose! What about you, sister?"
"I will choose to save everyone in the city, then avenge you, commit suicide to see you."
"No! Even without us, sister must live well." Ofina stepped forward and hugged Filia.
"Roger, why did you choose us?" Filia asked while patting Ofina's back.
"Maybe I'm a little selfish. For me, you are the most important, but if possible, I would trade my life for the people in the city."
Ophina said with some joy: "You like us so much? My brother stole my book and his mouth became sweet."
"What book?" Filia asked curiously.
"Ahem...it's nothing! Let's go back, it's time to have dinner." Rogge changed the subject with a meal escape, and the effect was outstanding, and the three of them returned to the camp.
…
While Rogge, Ophina, and Filia were walking into the woods, in the Holy King's Hall of the Summoning Holy Kingdom, an old man in white clothes heard the guard's report and stood up from the throne with excitement.
"Is this true? Is it really a phoenix?!"
"Holy King, this is indeed the case."
The Holy King's hand clenched the scepter hard, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged: "I never thought that there would be someone who could judge the heart through the phoenix. He would tell the Holy Son to meet her quickly and try every means to pull her into the Holy Kingdom of Soul Summoning. . Come here, prepare a car, I’ll go over and take a look first.”
After saying this, the Holy King hurriedly left the Holy King's Hall, walking faster than a car.
…
The simulation exercise has come to an end, with the crystal lighting up in red and the last student failing the simulation. Only 20 of the 400 imperial students succeeded in the simulation, only 2 of the 120 imperial nobles succeeded, and only 16 of the 480 military elites succeeded in the simulation.
Out of 1,000 people from the empire, only 38 succeeded. This is already the highest number of successes in recent times.
The teacher from the Holy Spirit-Calling Kingdom cleared his throat and said: "The three-day training is over. I believe you all have a preliminary understanding of spirit beasts and the spirit beast secret garden. Those who failed in the simulation should not be discouraged and enter the spirit beast secret garden. There will still be a chance later, but it is best to choose a different type of spirit beast than when you simulated it. Those who succeed can go directly to the habitat of the simulated spirit beast, and they will have a high chance of becoming a spiritual summoner."
Rogge, Ofina and Filia looked at each other, and the teacher's words seemed to confirm their suspicions.
The teacher continued: "Tomorrow's arrangement is for a friendly discussion between the two countries. The day after tomorrow, someone will take you to the entrance of the Secret Garden of Spirit Beasts and wait for the secret garden to open. Okay, goodbye everyone."
The teacher from the Soul-Calling Holy Kingdom bowed slightly to the students, nodded slightly to Ofina, and then strode towards the carriage not far away.
During dinner, Madeleine held the bowl and asked: "Nana, Filia, what did you whisper to Rogge this afternoon?"
We were all companions, there was nothing to hide, so Ofina told Roger's inference to Madeleine.
"Ah? So I can really find that purple electric butterfly? That's great!" Madeleine said happily.
"So I can really find that Pat Bear? That's great! It thinks I'm stupid. I must teach it a lesson." Lunt said.
"It's against the rules to hit a spirit beast, and besides, you're right about patting the bear," Madeline said.
"ah?"
"Ah, what, hurry up and eat."
"oh."
Ofina cheered up the slightly disappointed Sonia: "Sonia, don't worry, we still have a trump card. The things my brother made can be used in the secret garden. Maybe you can seduce Qixing with food. Where’s the snake?”
Sonia's mood improved a little after hearing this: "Well, thank you Nana."
"Oh, you're welcome. Eat meat, eat meat. This is the cauliflower snake that my brother just shot. It's delicious." Ofina gave Sonia a piece of meat.
Sonia's movements froze and she was about to cry.
"Don't cry, don't cry. I lied to you. It was just a joke. This is the pork my brother just got from the supplies department." Ofina made a face at Sonia.
When Ofina eats the food cooked by Roger, she wolfs it down first and then chews it slowly, enjoying the food, so when everyone is full, she is still eating.
The Holy King had been hiding behind a tree and peeking for a while. He was a little surprised when he saw Ophina eating all the time. He thought to himself: "The person chosen by Divine Phoenix is so young but can eat so well. Obviously the big guy next to him can eat it." It’s over.”
The Holy King couldn't help it anymore and walked into the empire camp and squatted in front of the bonfire where Ofina was.
At this time, there were only Rogge and Ofina in front of the bonfire. It was not difficult to find that a handsome old man in gorgeous clothes suddenly appeared beside the bonfire.
Both brother and sister looked at the Holy King curiously. The Holy King was a little embarrassed. He was in a hurry to go out. He forgot to change his clothes, and now his identity was exposed.
Ofina chewed the rice with her mouth closed, looking up and down at the Holy King with her big eyes like a hamster.
The Holy King was blown away by Ofina's cute eating looks, which reminded him of his daughter's appearance when she was a child.
Seeing that Ofina was having trouble speaking and the handsome old man didn't know how to speak, Rogge spoke first: "Grandpa, have you eaten?"
Holy King: "...No."
"Then there's some food here, can you eat some?"
"I'm not hungry."
"Gulu!" The Holy King's stomach betrayed him. He was busy with affairs at noon and did not bother to eat. At this time, smelling the aroma of rice, his stomach reacted first.
Ophina swallowed the rice in her mouth and said, "Grandpa, if your stomach is already rumbling, just eat some. If there is so much left, I will gain weight again."
"Then I'll help you eat something."
The Holy King took the clean bowl handed over by Rogge and filled some rice for himself. He couldn't stop after one gulp. The Holy King was surprised by the deliciousness of the food, which tasted better than the food made by his exclusive chef.
"Grandpa, is it delicious? This is my brother's new seafood risotto. You are in for a treat."
"It turns out they are brother and sister. They are both good. They both want to be poached. One will be a saint and the other a cook." The Holy King thought in his mind.
"Grandpa, are you the Holy King?" Ofina said suddenly.
"Cough cough cough." The Holy King choked on the rice grains in his mouth.
Rogge said quickly: "Nana, what are you talking about? Be careful in the future."
"Oh, I know. Grandpa, you are the Holy King, there is no 'right'." Ofina giggled.
The Holy King asked, not caring whether there was a "ba" or not. "How did you tell?"
"Grandpa, I have seen your clothes in the album, and this scepter is also in the album. In addition, Grandpa is so handsome, and he is also so handsome in the album, then you are the Holy King." Ofina said .
Sure enough, it was a problem with my clothes, I was careless.
"Grandpa Holy King, you're not here just to get some food, are you? Do you want to capture me and take me back to become a saint?"
The Holy King was shocked again and thought to himself: "How come the conspiracy was exposed before it even started? People who can pass the Phoenix trial are really terrifying."
When Ophina saw that the Holy King was silent, she continued: "Why aren't you talking? Are you really here to catch me? I'm telling you, I won't go. Xiaocai and I have a good relationship. Be careful if I call it a fight." you."
The Holy King wondered: "Who is Xiaocai?"
"It's the Nine-Colored Divine Phoenix. We've become friends this afternoon." Ofina's eyes were cunning, staring at the Holy King's face to see his expression changes.
The Holy King was shocked. He had been frightened as many times as he had been in a year today. The spirit beasts during the simulation of the Spirit Summoning Test Column are real. There are no more than two hands of people in the Spirit Summoning Holy Kingdom who know about it. How did this little girl know?
After all, the Holy King was a Holy King. He quickly calmed down and made a guess in his mind: "Shenhuang must have revealed it to her during the simulation. It seems that Shenhuang is really interested in her."
In fact, the Holy King guessed wrong. Rogge who was sitting next to him guessed it through the Star Yaolong. If he knew that Rogge actually passed the Star Yaolong test, he would have to kidnap the two siblings.
After all, Xing Yaolong had just chosen the second person, and the first person was the Holy King himself.
Although the Holy King calmed down quickly, Ofina was smart enough to see enough information. She quietly nodded to Rogge and winked.
The sinister Ofina deliberately revealed Xiaocai's story, hoping to deceive the Holy King, but she succeeded.
The Holy King also reacted, shook his head and said with a smile: "You are such a smart little girl. It is indeed what you thought, but you must not make it public."
"I know, Grandpa Holy King." Ofina smiled sweetly.
