Chapter 542: A Difficult Task

More than half of the trial students gathered in Cologne after leaving the canyon trial base. Don’t simply think that these teenagers are preparing to indulge in catharsis and have fun. In fact, their main purpose is to plan and then move.

No one would doubt the difficulty of the next trial task, otherwise why would the instructor group them out? It was just that it was difficult for one person to complete the task, and only with the cooperation of multiple people to plan can it be solved smoothly.

The Glorious Temple has always opposed the style of individual heroism, and the collective will always overtake the individual. After all, the power of individuals is limited after all, and the collective power is infinite, let alone the group of Knights who pay great attention to discipline and obedience.

Since leaving the canyon, Willy was like a wild horse that ran away from reins, and he had never stopped his mouth. He was complaining about the previous trials, and then talked about his past romantic affairs. There was no logical structure in the topic. Even though Xia Lan and other team members ignored it, they could not stop Willy's excitement.

Until he arrived in Cologne, seeing that Willy's ability to nag was not diminished, someone in the team could not help but speak.

"Willie, please say a few less words? After all, don't you care about this trial mission at all?"

The person who spoke was Conneil, an ordinary boy with a poor appearance.

"Haha! Don't worry, with Brother Green here, our mission is still easy to get." Willie looked hippie and smiled, and his words were both complimentary and raising Xia Lan.

"But we can't completely rely on Green alone!" Connill frowned and said angrily.

"Oh? You mean that there is no Brother Green. You can complete this trial mission with just a few of us? You are so naive!" Willie sneered and said, "Didn't you notice some problems when the instructor assigned the team members?"

"What's the question?" The question was Corrett. He held Conneil, who was about to continue arguing with Willie, and said in a low voice.

"I think we need to find a place to eat and stay before discussing this issue." Willy was reborn and said frivolously. "I know a good place, come with me!"

Xia Lan didn't say anything from beginning to end. He was observing everyone in the team and had other concerns in his heart.

Following Willy to a luxurious hotel with elegant style, Connill, who was indignant just now, was stunned. Not only him, except Xia Lan and Willy, the remaining team members were uneasy when entering the hotel. From this, it can be seen that their families are not well-off. Perhaps they have never been in such places before. Willy took them one by one, and his disdain was even more serious. Instead, Xia Lan's performance surprised him.

"I'm working today! I've covered all the fees. In the future, we will be partners on the same front. I hope you can take care of each other and help each other. If you offend me, I hope I will understand and tolerate it!"

After arranging the room, he led the service servant to the dining table in a private room. As soon as the tea, wine and snacks were on, Willie held up the wine glass in his hand to salute all the members on the table. His serious appearance really surprised the others present.

"Willie, you're too polite..." Connill couldn't drink, so he tossed back a cup of tea, with a rather awkward expression and embarrassed.

"Haha! Don't be polite to me!" Willie said boldly.

After going around, Willy was the one who would drive the atmosphere. In just one meal, he eliminated the barriers between everyone and presented a harmonious scene with each other.

"Willie, now you can talk about the questions you haven't answered before, right?"

After having enough wine and meals, Curret finally asked Willie.

"Oh? What's the problem? I think... are you talking about the instructor's assignment of team members?" Willie drank a lot of wine, his face turned red and slightly drunk, and his tongue was hesitant as if he had been tied.

He took a deep breath and shook his head, then stood up from his seat, shook his body slightly, "Since you want to know, I will tell you... Have you noticed it? The instructors pay great attention to the balance of abilities when assigning team members. There will always be one or two team members in a team with the top and bottom of the assessment scores."

After hearing this, everyone realized that before anyone could speak, Willie continued: "Balance of ability is one thing. What is important is that the instructor also took into account the personalities and characteristics of each team member. For example, you, Corrett, you are calm and cautious in your character. Conneille, although his personality is impatient, he has a strong collective consciousness. Relf, ​​you, although you look at it normally on the surface, you actually like to stimulate and take risks. Babene, you have a strong personality, dare to fight and fight... In this way, combined with the personality characteristics of all of us, each of us will play its strengths. The so-called trial task will be easy."

As soon as he said that Willy, who seemed ignorant, could see more clearly than anyone else on these issues.

"After saying so much, why didn't you talk about your personality traits and Green?" Connill couldn't help but say.

"If you don't talk about your personality, have you not seen my characteristics yet? Analysis and observation are my characteristics. I have positioned myself very clearly. In short, I am a staff-type person. As for Brother Green..." Willie chuckled, and his eyes turned to Xia Lan who was siping tea calmly. He paused, and then shook his head and said, "To be honest, Brother Green's personality characteristics are really hard to say. Everyone should know what Brother Green's performance in the assessment and trial. Anyway, my intuition tells me that whether this trial task can be successfully completed depends on Brother Green."

When the others' eyes were focused on Xia Lan, Xia Lan gently put down the teacup, took the napkin on the table and wiped his mouth, then reached out to take out the sheepskin envelope from her arms.

"Who do you want to see?"

The atmosphere was instantly cold.

After a while, Corret raised his hand with a serious expression.

Xia Lan glanced at the corner of her eyes, her wrist was shaking slightly, and the sheepskin envelope sandwiched between her fingers immediately swirled towards Corrett.

Corret took the flying envelope. He looked at the dazzling red varnish on the envelope, as if he had made up his mind. Without saying a word, he opened the envelope and took out a thin piece of paper from it.

Corret looked at it for a long time, so Connill next to him was already impatient: "Corret, what exactly is written on that piece of paper?"

"You can see it yourself."

Curret handed the paper directly to Connill.

This time, the other people quickly came around Connell, and their eyes fell on the paper in his hand that was related to their future and destiny.

"Herebroken?!"

As soon as he glanced at him, Connell exclaimed softly.

When he looked down, he unexpectedly became silent, even the members around him were like this.

Finally, the paper returned to Xia Lan's hands.

Xia Lan browsed the contents of the paper briefly and roughly understood their reactions.

The trial mission this time is very simple, killing three heretic villages that were bewitched by cults.

The task only requires one point.

No chickens and dogs will be left behind! Otherwise, it will fail!

The meaning of not leaving a chicken or a dog is self-evident. Perhaps it is these four words that have caused them to fall into silence collectively.

"If there is no problem, we'll set out tomorrow."

Xia Lan raised the paper in her hand and glanced around calmly.

The locations of the three villages are accurately marked on the paper, about seven or eight hundred miles away from Cologne Town. It takes at least ten days and half a month to travel, and it will be gone in one month, so the task will only be left for them for two months at most.

only--

His team members seemed to find it difficult to accept the bloody cruelty behind the task for a while.

Don’t forget their age and don’t ignore the kindness of human nature.

In the final analysis, they are still a child, a child who has not been completely brainwashed by the teachings of the Radiant Church.

"We...we...really be ready to go...slay all the people in the three villages?"

Connill was the first to ask about the confusion and struggle in his heart. Perhaps it was because of some fear that he couldn't even speak clearly.

He was born into a farmer family. In his impression, the people in his hometown and villages were very hardworking and simple. Every morning, you could hear adults singing rough mountain songs to work. A group of innocent children chased and played around like naughty little monkeys. The elderly sat peacefully under the trees to rest. Women in groups of three or three were washing clothes or feeding poultry. How could such a peaceful and peaceful scene make people bear to destroy it?

"These people are heresy, and it is the duty of the Knight of the Holy Tribe." Babein, who was tall and powerful, said in a muffled voice.

"I don't believe that all the people in these three villages are heretics!" Connill said tremblingly: "If you see a newborn baby in the village, would you think he was heretic and kill him!"

"Don't forget that this is the trial task given to us by the instructor. If you have any questions, you can respond to the instructor." Relf said in a deep voice. "But I promise you won't get an answer from the instructor."

"Don't think too pessimistically. Maybe we will find another truth after we conduct on-site inspections? I believe that the Holy Church will not send us such a crazy task for no reason." Corrett knocked on the table and said.

"But...we still want to kill people." Connill said with a sad expression.

"If you were scared, you shouldn't have come here at the beginning." Babein said with a straight face.

"...I shouldn't have come here, but I have to come here, otherwise I wouldn't have the face to go back to see my parents and family." Connell said in pain.

"I have the same mood as you, but I have to pass the assessment of the Knights of the Celestial in any case, because this is the only meaning of my life." Babain patted Connill's shoulder with a big fan.

"Everyone! If you have no objection to Brother Green, let's go back and rest early and adjust your mentality by the way."

At this time, Willie smiled and smoothed out the situation, then watched Connell and the others leave the box one by one.

"Brother Green, have you not left yet?"

Shortly after they left, Willie looked at Xia Lan, who was still sitting at the dining table.

"Don't you have something to say to me?" Xia Lan whispered.

"Huh? Brother Green, how do you know? Do you know how to read minds?" Willie put on his face and said with shamelessness.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Xia Lan said without stumble.

"Brother Green, I suspect this trial mission is a trap!" Willy immediately said with a solemn expression.
