However, Rick naturally would not know so much. He only knew that Jack taught him one of the best sword skills, and it was easy to get started with drawing swords. Rick used the most, and his power would naturally go to the next level after he was proficient.

An Jie looked at Rick with interest and smiled, "As long as you don't run deep into the back mountain, it's easy to pass this test. Boy, I'm optimistic about you." As he said that, he raised a thumbs up.

Rick smiled bitterly. This bald teacher is really a true temperament.

"Then, I'm leaving, remember to come and report tomorrow." After that, An Jie jumped gently, and the faint blue fighting spirit under his feet made him jump onto the tree canopy easily, and his agile figure suddenly left Rick's vision.

"Can't you walk better?" Rick muttered.

He looked up at the rising sun, and the golden sunlight shone on his face. Rick suddenly thought that his name came from, and he couldn't help feeling warm.

"Speaking of it, I haven't lie down quietly like this for a long time." Rick slept on the grass slope and said to himself.

Since he came to the Ero Continent, the mercenary mission has made Rick live a hard life every day, and it is impossible to return to the comfortable life before.

Putting his hands under his head, looking around, and confirming that there were no traces of monsters nearby, Rick was ready to take care of his thoughts.

"The most important thing at the moment is to improve one's own strength so that one can have the capital to settle down."

"Next, it's time to fulfill my promise. Bry, Bry, Bry, the sea of ​​people is vast. How do you find you?" Rick played with the space stone handed over to him by Jack and sighed lightly.

It is definitely not possible to count on Alan's prophecy. So long has passed. Bry can't stay in the snow palace. The value of the prophecy is to let Rick know that Bry is still alive, or that he was still alive six months ago.

Realizing that the continent of Ero is so big, he shook his head and no longer thought about it. He looked at the Space Stone in a blink of an eye. Rick was curious about what would be inside the Purple Gem.

No, this must be the secret of their demons. You can't see it. Thinking of this, Rick took the gem back into his pocket.

A feeling of fatigue came. Rick squinted his eyes and felt a little sleepy.

I don't know how long it took, but a harsh call for help came, and Rick suddenly opened his eyes. The dazzling sunlight made him half-close his eyelids, and tears slid out.

It was noon, Rick thought, lowering his eyes and looking at the scorching sun above his head.

"Help!!!" Another cry came from a distance. Rick frowned, stretched his muscles and bones, held the ring crack in his hand, and rushed over.

The first thing Rick saw was the dead body of a two-headed giant python of a three-star monster.

This is a relatively common monster, just as its name suggests. Its body is different from an ordinary python and has two hideous snake heads. At this time, the two-headed giant python was cut through the gap between its head by a sword. The incision was very smooth, and at first glance it looked like two snake corpses.

A tall, long-haired man slowly pulled his sword back into his sheath. He closed his eyes and said lightly: "What is the ghost called? It's useless."

He was talking about the young man sitting on the ground gasping next to the two-headed giant python.

The man was wearing a fine silk dress and had a crystal as big as a pebbles on his neck. He knew he was a rich man at a glance. However, he was very embarrassed at this time and quickly explained to the long-haired man: "Master...Master, I am a magician. The beast was so close to me just now that I didn't have time to cast spells..."

The long-haired man didn't want to look at him. He said sarcastically: "Then are you going to not resist and become the food in the belly of the two-headed giant python? Oh, by the way, you are not so stupid that you won't shout for help."

The new man was so angry that his teeth were itchy. He remembered that before leaving home, his father told him to put away his temperament and never make trouble at the Mingx Academy, where there were many noble officials and nobles and should not be offended easily. So in the face of the humiliation of the long-haired man, he had to take a breath.

"Also, don't call me a mentor. I'm just responsible for this test without new casualties." The man continued: "I rescued you, which means you are in danger of life. If you are outside, you have been swallowed by a two-headed python at this time. So you have not passed the test and cannot be admitted to school."

The freshman's eyes were wide open. He thought that putting the freshman in a forest full of monsters to test his ability to survive was just a cover for the academy. So he thought that if he really encountered danger, no matter whether he could win with his own ability, he would think about his life and call for help directly. He was sure that the academy would send someone to secretly protect them, such as the new stars of the future.

However, what I never expected was that the price of saving myself was to lose the qualification to enroll.

The freshman's head was short-circuited and shouted: "Why can't you enter school? I am the eldest son of Earl Ashford's family!"

The long-haired man seemed to have been able to predict his reaction, and was not angry at all, but said, "I have explained the reason to you before. In addition, in Mingx, nobles and civilians are treated equally, even if you are the son of the duke, so what? Speaking of which, the elders in the academy are the children of nobles above the earl seem to be above the triple digits."

"Earl Ashford? I don't have any impression..." the long-haired man smiled meaningfully.

The new student secretly scolded him for being reckless. Thinking that he would be punished severely when he went home, he smiled and said, "Teacher, can you please be able to adapt? I can..."

Before he finished speaking, the long-haired man waved his hand impatiently, interrupted him, and said, "I don't have time to mess with you, Elena, I'll leave it to you."

Behind him, a woman wrapped in a black robe came over. Although Rick could not see her face under her hat, her graceful and beautiful figure was enough to satisfy every man.

The long-haired man passed by her and walked towards Rick.

A civilian ceremony was given. Although it was ignored, Rick could still feel the awesome sword intent on the man walking by.

He is so strong, he should be a high-level swordsman. Rick secretly estimated his strength.

Elena walked up to Xinsheng, raised her slender arms indifferently, and aimed her five jade fingers like white onions at the dull Xinsheng.

The black magic circle appeared under the feet of the newborn gradually took shape as Elena sang in a low voice.

Before he could figure out the situation, the magic circle flashed and the new life disappeared.

Elena seemed to notice someone looking at her behind her, so she turned to Rick.

What disappointed Rick was that the woman with a devilish figure actually had a dull face that directly shattered his fantasy.

Even so, Elena looks good overall, although her face is not beautiful. However, the perfect water snake waist drawn through the tight magic robe is enough to attract the attention of men.

Elena smiled slightly and disappeared into the black magic circle.

Rick came to his senses and thought to himself that he was thinking too much.

But after running away with the intention of saving people, Rick didn't just see a farce.

First of all, the man with long hair was at least a sword master. The woman named Elena must be strong. Because the mystery of space magic is second only to prophecy, she can use it easily and frequently.

"That sword master should not be over thirty years old, and Elena must be younger. Alas, the guys in the Mingxri are all perverts..." Rick sighed when he thought that he was just a six-star swordsman.

A sharp eagle cry interrupted Rick's thoughts. He found himself covered by a black shadow. When he looked up, he was shocked.

A white feathered eagle spread its wings that were ten meters long, stretching out its sharp claws and pounced towards Rick.

What kind of monster is this? Rick quickly fell down and thought.

When it was about to land, the big white eagle flapped its wings, and the big tree next to it shook violently, and its speed also dropped, landing lightly not far from Rick.

This guy is so big that he is probably a four-star monster.

When I was hunting monsters in the wild in the Tulip Mercenary Group, I often explained the relevant knowledge of monsters to everyone. In his words, small monsters are not necessarily weak, but large ones are necessarily strong!

Rick believed that he was not the opponent of the four-star monster. So he carefully hid behind the tree, observed its movements, and looked for opportunities to run away.

The eagle's head swung its left and right a few times, then lowered it, pecked the skin of the two-headed giant python and started to eat the meat.

Fortunately, it is foraging, and as long as it leaves without making any movement, it should not be discovered.

Thinking of this, Rick slowly took a few steps back, but unexpectedly there was a pit in the grass behind him. He stepped on it without any preparation and slipped.

Rick cried out inwardly, and although he didn't make a sound, the sound of his body overwhelming the grass was still heard by the Great White Eagle.

It walked over with some vigilance. Seeing Rick lying in the grass and not daring to move, the Great White Eagle seemed to be uninterested in him, and turned around to continue digesting the fresh snake meat.

Rick was already in a cold sweat at this time, glad that this monster did not take the initiative to attack humans, otherwise he would have finished.

"Wait, this guy seems to look familiar." Looking at the back of the big white eagle, Rick touched his chin, lowered his head and thought for a while, but still couldn't remember where he had seen it.

The big white eagle shaved its feathers on its wings with its mouth, as if it was enjoying the delicious food of this meal.

"Okay, Xiaobai, come back." A girl in a white sacrificial robe walked over, touched the head of the big white eagle, and said intimately.

Rick's mouth was so big that he could put an egg down.

The girl seemed to find someone following her after the tree, so she walked up and asked, "Is anyone there?"

Rick coughed awkwardly behind the tree, walked forward, crossed his hands in front of his chest, bent down, and said, "Long time no see, Your Highness."

Belle was slightly stunned. Seeing that the person in front of her met the unique way of praying in the Southeast Islands, she quickly bent down and returned a gift.

This kind of etiquette is the praise of the sea gods by the people on the island, and they will use it when they say hello to each other. After spending a year in the Southeast Islands, Rick, who followed the local customs, also learned this simple etiquette.

"Are you from Moore Island?" asked Belle.

Moor Island is the main island of the Southeast Archipelago and the most populous place there.

Rick was stunned and then thought: "She doesn't remember me..."

Seeing him silent, Belle said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I don't have a good memory..."

"It's okay, I'm just a person who admires the Saint. Your Highness doesn't remember that I'm normal." Rick replied.

"Just call me Belle. I'm not a saint here. I hope you can help me keep this secret. Please." Belle looked at him and said seriously.

Rick nodded and asked, "Belle, why are you here?"

"The High Priest hopes that I can learn something here, which is also a trial." Belle replied with a smile.

It seems that this Saint of the Sea is not as arrogant as the Saint of Light, but is approachable. Rick can't help but compare Beth with Belle.

After staying in the Principality of Light Pan for so long, Rick had already found out that the girl who was blocking her was actually the Knight King Beth Light Pan, and she also had another identity, the Saint of Light.

She looks like she is not eighteen years old, can she be the king of a country? Rick has never figured out this problem.

In fact, the former Knight King died young due to illness, leaving only his eldest daughter Beth to inherit the throne.

"If Beth was not the Knight King, he should be a quiet princess." Rick couldn't help thinking, he insisted that girls were not suitable for fighting with swords.

"Is there any problem?" Belle asked when Rick saw that he was a little distracted.

"Uh, of course not." Rick quickly changed the subject and said, "Is this big white eagle beside you your summoning beast?"

"Well, his name is Xiaobai, and he is my first companion." The big white eagle lowered its head so that Belle could comb the white feathers on its neck.

The strength of the four-star monster is equivalent to that of a high-level swordsman. Belle obviously won't have only one summoning beast. The summoner is indeed very powerful, Rick thought.

"By the way, there are many monsters here, so we might as well walk together, so we can take care of each other." Belle said with a smile.

Rick was delighted at first. After all, with a beautiful woman, this boring test would be much more interesting. But he glanced at the Six-Star Swordsman Medal hanging on his chest, but he didn't think so.
