As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

He had just felt that Leia's name sounded familiar, and it was only at this moment that he finally remembered where it came from.

The first adventurer, [Great Adventurer] Leia!

Legend has it that in the First Age, an adventurer set out on a journey of exploration in pursuit of freedom. His footprints spread from the snow-capped peaks of the North to the end of the South Sea, covering the entire Viszea.

But Leia's story is also unofficial history.

But to historians, that is impossible.

The First Age was a time of great danger for humanity, when mythical creatures roamed the land. It was nearly impossible for humans to master extraordinary powers. Even a trip to the next village risked encountering a pure-blooded dragon and being captured for dinner, let alone adventure.

Furthermore, the stories of the "Great Adventurer" are not only vague but also contradictory. Sometimes he is portrayed as a young boy, and sometimes as a young man again. Today, scholars generally believe that the so-called "Great Adventurer" is simply an aggregated image of countless travelers created by humans at the time.

However, putting aside the gender issue, with the blessing of the last True Ancestor, it is not impossible to travel to Viszea!

However, Lilia sighed softly at this moment.

Although the corners of her mouth were raised, there was a hint of loneliness in her beautiful blood-red eyes.

The bitter smile similar to that of a certain elf girl made Roy feel bitter in his heart.

“It sounds good, but…”

You clearly want it, but why are you unwilling to do it?

Roy caught the desire in the girl's eyes, but because of this he could no longer understand Lilith's hesitation.

But at this moment, Lyle leaned over and kissed her clumsily but firmly.

The vampire girl couldn't help but widen her eyes, while the boy blushed and even said to her with a bit of grievance: "Nothing but."

"You've already sucked my blood, so take responsibility!"

Perhaps she couldn't stand the unbearable loneliness, perhaps she was attracted by the magnificent world, perhaps she was finally tired of the vampire's mission, or perhaps she simply wanted to never be separated from her beloved boy. After a long silence, Lilith finally smiled.

"There's really no other way. I'll just do as you say."

Under the night sky, the two figures intertwined again.

Is it really a small world? Not only did the Great Adventurer exist, but he was also the lover of the last True Ancestor.

It is quite remarkable that a demigod could actually take a fancy to this mortal body. In a sense, this guy is quite remarkable.

Despite all the complaints, Roy sincerely wishes for this beautiful love that transcends race.

As the night deepened and the moonlight faded, the figures leaning against each other gradually became blurred, and Roy's world fell into silence.

Not long after, he regained consciousness, and the scene before him was no longer the mysterious and gloomy castle, but the familiar wooden furnishings.

----------

In the mountains and forests far away from the academy, elves in dark green robes, magicians in blue magic robes, and college teachers in teacher uniforms were constantly busy making the final arrangements.

The secret realm itself is just an area divided by a barrier. If it is to be used for trials, it naturally needs to be arranged artificially.

This is a huge project, and it is definitely not something that the magic school can complete alone.

In the Seven Color Trials, each participating auxiliary force is different. For example, in the Blue Trial, the Blue Mage, skilled in plants and potions, will bury a treasure box filled with healing potions. The Elven Descendants, skilled in reconnaissance and enemy detection, will set up many natural traps.

"Monsters, traps, treasures, and route settings..."

"All done, congratulations everyone, the preparations for the secret realm are now complete!"

The office workers who had finally finished their work cheered in unison, listlessly, and set off on their journey home, dragging their tired bodies.

But at this moment, several giant eagles descended from the sky and blocked their way.

The riders wore green cloaks and light armor engraved with runes. They had sharp brows and moved like the wind.

They are the elite of the Emerald Council, the [Emerald Rangers] who are directly dispatched by the Chief.

The leading man said indifferently, "Sorry to waste your time."

"Just in case, we need to check again to confirm the safety of the secret realm."

To inspect the entire secret realm, it would take at least hours.

Everyone is getting ready to get off work, but suddenly a leader shows up to inspect and asks for temporary overtime. It would be strange if we don't blame them.

Fortunately, the Rangers are not the leaders of all of them.

A young blue magician immediately complained: "According to the procedures, we have checked it three times, which is enough to ensure safety!"

The Ranger leader frowned immediately: "The Chief has ordered that when it comes to the students' safety, we must be extremely cautious."

The young mage snorted dismissively. "That's your problem. We've already accomplished our mission."

"That's right. We, the teachers of the academy, are not subject to the orders of your Emerald Council."

The descendants of the elves in the Emerald Council had bitter expressions on their faces, but they all remained silent, looking as if they had accepted defeat.

The people from the Magicians' Society and the Magic Academy were all fuming and glaring, not giving the Rangers a good look. After all, the Emerald Council had no say in what they did.

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, a teacher from the magic academy stood up.

"How about this? Everyone from the Academy and the Society will leave first, leaving only one or two people behind as representatives. The rest of the inspection will be left to the people of the Emerald Council."

This opinion was unanimously agreed by everyone. The teacher who was responsible for the proposal chose to stay, and the magician chose another unlucky person.

The magicians and teachers dispersed, leaving only the people from the Emerald Council to conduct a re-inspection.

Chapter 99: The Focus of the Trial

Of course, the rangers are only responsible for delivering messages and have no right to inspect the secret realm.

With two-thirds of the staff missing, this final inspection naturally progressed slowly.

The elven descendants in charge of setting up the secret realm were also unmotivated and were inevitably a bit perfunctory. After all, it had already been inspected three times before, so it was unlikely that there would be any problems.

Unless someone is deliberately creating problems.

In a corner of the secret realm, the descendant of the elves couldn't help but reveal a strange smile, with a dark green light flashing in his eyes.

It is very troublesome to take action under the eyes of the magicians and the college teachers. After all, the three forces are responsible for monitoring each other.

She casually scattered a seed, and the grass where the seed fell withered instantly, and this strange power, like a plague, was buried deep into the ground.

"Hey, what are you doing..."

As luck would have it, a lazy young man slipped away early and happened to see this scene.

Unfortunately, before he could finish, a short wand was pointed at the back of his neck, and then his eyes became cloudy.

----------

Time passed, and finally the day of the Blue Trial arrived.

Tourists from all over Viszea gathered in the arena in the center of the academy, and various forces also sent representatives to observe the style of the young extraordinary people.

Of course, the arena only serves as a seat. The students have already gathered outside the secret realm, and the magic screen floating in the air will project the entire process of the trial.

The annual Trial was a rare event for the Citadel. Even the Citadel residents rarely witnessed a Transcendent in action, let alone tourists who normally wouldn't even see one. Now, witnessing the prodigy of Veszea firsthand, it was hard not to be excited.

Representatives from various factions came here with the purpose of identifying talents and confirming the potential of future successors to their factions.

A number of dignitaries, including the old Duke Raymond of the Lionheart Kingdom, the priest of the White Harbor branch of the Church of Light, the chief of the Emerald Council, and the dean of the Magic Academy, gathered here. While they were chatting and laughing with each other, they awe-struck the nobles and teachers below.

On the plains outside the secret realm, some young people were overwhelmed with emotion, some were extremely excited, while others were trembling with fear. Some even vomited due to nervousness before the trial even started.

Among the crowd, the black-haired boy was very calm.

After experiencing the various banquets and ceremonies in the kingdom, as well as the cult attack, this little scene could hardly stir up any emotion in him.

Roy's only concern was for Nia. Although she was a skilled socialite, this trial would ultimately determine her fate, so it was inevitable that she was a little nervous.

But Roy soon discovered that he was worrying too much.

Nia's eyes were shining, she was in high spirits, and she was rubbing her hands together, as excited as a child who was about to go on an outing.

The girl turned around, her smile brighter than the sunshine above her head: "The day has finally come. It's time to show off our skills and let Mom know how awesome we are!"

Roy complained helplessly: "You are really optimistic."

"You're here, aren't you?" Nia said with a smile, as if it were a matter of course.

After all the contestants for the trial arrived, the black-haired female teacher Shaduo stepped forward and explained the rules of the trial.

In any trial, contestants will wear magic crystals to resist damage.

This magic crystal will match the bloodline of the extraordinary person, offset the damage, and teleport the player out of the secret realm after confirming that the player has suffered a fatal injury.

If a contestant gives up, he can also automatically crush the magic crystal and teleport out.

Extraordinary people go wherever they want voluntarily, not to mention that there are princes and nobles among the students. The academy naturally has to ensure their safety as much as possible.

The specific rules of the Blue Trial are the criteria for judging results.

"This secret realm is located in the Misty Forest. You must traverse it for about two days to reach the end point in the center of the forest and find the marking gem we set!"

"There are only four Marking Gems. This trial will be judged based on the order in which the gems are obtained. After the top four are determined, the order in which the first person to reach the finish line will be used as the judging standard!"

If we want to surpass Rowling and Ain, we must at least enter the top four.

Fortunately, the rules are not complicated, and this trial is even very favorable to Nia.

Nia was known for her speed, so whether it was rushing or grabbing gems, this guy should be able to do it easily. Roy thought so, and felt more confident.

"I declare that the trial begins!"

Following Shaduo's order, the students poured into the teleportation array in an orderly manner like well-trained soldiers.

After a burst of strong light, they felt their bodies lighten, and the next second, the scenery changed.

The sky is clear and the clouds are flowing. As far as the eye can see, there is a vast grassland, and in the distance is a forest shrouded in mist.

However, no one had time to appreciate the scenery at this time.

"Kill them!"

I don’t know who shouted this first, but the moment they entered the secret realm, the thousands of extraordinary people participating in the trial launched the most fierce attack on each other.

There's no better way to win than by eliminating your competition.

The vast grassland is completely uncovered and can be said to be the best arena.

In this terrain, the advantage of numbers was maximized. Faction members joined forces and easily wiped out those stragglers. No matter how powerful those lone rangers were, they would find it difficult to withstand the coordinated siege of a group of extraordinary people.

For a moment, the screen was filled with magic, swords danced wildly, and monsters roared, interweaving into a gorgeous and magnificent storm. Even in previous trials, there were few such fierce opening battles, and the audience was thrilled.

"If Rowling had fallen into this situation back then, I'm afraid she wouldn't have won so easily in the end, right?" Booker held his beard, shook his head repeatedly, and glanced at the beautiful elf woman beside him.

The old man did place his hopes of persuading Jantia on Roy, but he did not expect that the other party would make such a willful move.

Janetia did not reply, but just held her breath and stared, quietly watching the figures of the boy and girl on the screen.

The Council Chair's expression was filled with hope, as if she had returned to her school days. In reality, while she said she wanted the two young men to prove themselves, she probably already had the answer in her heart.

Seeing this, Booker couldn't help but smile and didn't say anything else.

But, can Roy and Nia surpass those two from back then? This question is something that even the Sage, who has experienced so many years, can't help but be curious about.

In the chaos of the battle, Roy and Nia ignored the attacks from all around them. The former braved the flying arrows and swords and rushed out straight like a meteor, while the latter used agile and nimble steps to escape the danger by a hair's breadth.

As a straggler, the best strategy is to conserve your energy and avoid direct confrontations with large numbers of enemies as much as possible.

It’s a pity that everyone understands the truth, but most of the stragglers don’t even rush out. Their magic crystals are shattered in the beating, and they are eliminated at the start.

In this situation, the scene where the black-haired boy and the green-haired girl teamed up and easily passed through the enemy group was particularly eye-catching.

In addition, one is a sworn knight of the Lionheart Kingdom, and the other is a nightingale of the Emerald Council. They are both well-known, which aroused cheers from the people of both countries.

However, while cheering, everyone couldn't help but imagine the relationship between the two.

Chapter 100: The Princess's Blessing

"Why would the Lionheart Knights act together with the Nightingales of the Emerald Council?"

"I heard that the two of them are classmates. Maybe they have a good relationship?"

"Tsk tsk, classmate? Is that really all?"
