Amid the excited shouts of the undead and the confused faces of Xiao Zhi and others, the crisp sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance. The sound got closer and closer, and a group of undead knights in armor appeared in front of everyone.

With their arrival, the originally noisy venue returned to calm, with pairs of lifeless eyes staring at the visitors, looking forward to the upcoming selection.

The leader was an undead knight captain with black hair and a gentle temperament. He rode a white bone horse onto the only high platform, then looked around at the undead present and bowed slightly.

"Welcome to participate in the selection of Hesse's secretary. I am Knight Commander Dean."

After the words fell, the undead below cheered. This was their way of expressing respect for the strong.

Having lost the shackles of life, the undead have returned to the law of respecting the strong. Therefore, in the world of the undead, power, fame, and wealth are not as important as pure power. The knight captains of Hessen are all people who are qualified to stand beside the lord, which is synonymous with the strong.

Dean signaled for silence below, and continued: "Those who pass the selection will become the scribes of Hessen, and enter the Bone Palace to gain the opportunity to assist the lord. Because of this, the first selection condition is to master the immortal text. And proficiency in common language, I hope-"

Before he could finish his words, the undead below started to revel again because they heard the word "Lord".

This time they were roaring at the top of their lungs, looking crazy, and it sounded like thousands of ghosts crying together. If an adventurer passing by accidentally heard it, they might think that something big was going on inside Hesse.

Xiao Zhi felt that his ears were going deaf. He looked at the teachers and senior brothers beside him and found that they also had painful and troubled expressions on their faces. They couldn't cover their ears, because there were only a few people in the crowd who didn't scream. Covering their ears would make them look even more out of place.

On the high platform, Dean raised his voice: "The levels are divided into three levels, which are -"

"Kill! For the lord!!"

"I will definitely win!!"

"You are looking for death!"

"I'm afraid of you! I Already dead!"

Dean: "..."

Dean couldn't say anything anymore, and he guessed that not many people would be interested in hearing what he said next. However, such a situation is still within his expectation. After all, the undead cannot be like this for a day or two. This is a traditional performing arts, and they are used to going crazy.

Forget it, let's get started.

Dean raised his voice again, shouting at a volume that could overwhelm the screams of everyone: "In the first level, you need to grab the dominoes in the Bone Forest and pass through the portal. In the subsequent levels, you need to find your own way to leave—— "

Now, the selection begins -"

As he finished his words, a huge magic circle suddenly lit up under everyone's feet. The magic circle included the entire area except for the positions occupied by the undead knights. .

The next moment, all the people in the circle were teleported away, all the noise disappeared, and the place returned to its original quietness.

Dean straightened his collar, which was slightly messy due to the action just now. Next time, let someone else do this kind of physical work. It was too tiring, and it made him feel like he was alive.

·

Xiao Zhi felt as if his eyes were blurred, and the world within his sight changed.

This is a pale forest, from the soil to the trees it is all white.

This white is not the pure white that makes people feel, but a kind of gray with withering and decadence. The texture of the trees is stiff, and white ashes from unknown sources are floating in the air, making the atmosphere seem even more dead.

He remembered that Knight Commander Dean had mentioned the word "Bone Forest" just now. It must be here, and the name was very appropriate.

Li Daye and others were still with him and were not scattered due to the teleportation.

The originally crowded crowd also appeared nearby, and everyone stared at each other with vigilant eyes. After all, from this moment on, they were competitors.

Li Daye whispered to his students: "The future is up to you."

Einstein and Weidi nodded to him calmly.

Xiao Zhi felt a little weird. He thought Li Daye would definitely say "Look at me next" and "I am the life mentor who leads the chosen ones to victory", but he didn't expect it to be so... normal. , it doesn't seem to be particularly normal.

Einstein whispered: "According to convention, in this kind of melee situation, the teacher usually lies down within the first five minutes, and even the gods can't save him."

Wade: "The fastest record is 45 seconds."

Xiao Zhi: "..."

So did he say his final exit lines in advance? He was really skilled...

At this moment, countless dominoes suddenly appeared in the air. The dominoes were round and larger than coins. Senbai's dominoes slowly fell down from mid-air. They seemed to be in large numbers, but they were obviously much less than the undead people watching eagerly below.

This is what they need to snatch in the first level.

I don't know who made the first move. There was no time to wait for the dominoes to fall to the ground, and countless undead people rushed into the air.

An undead took advantage of its light body and rushed to the front. The undead behind was obviously not willing to be beaten by him. He raised his hand and threw a wind of undead, knocking down the undead in front and gaining the upper hand.

The next moment, the lich behind him struck down the victorious undead with a frost blow.

But he couldn't get close to the domino, because the skeletons and zombies below worked together to pull him back to the ground.

Everyone started fighting in this situation of hurting each other.

Einstein was very fast after turning into an undead. He made several turns in the air without being hit by attacks from below. At the same time, he waved the dagger in his hand and sent several competitors back to the ground.

Ahead, the dominoes are close at hand.

Einstein stretched out his hand, ready to take it into his pocket.

"Bang -"

A bullet grazed Einstein's ear and hit the domino accurately. The domino was not a hard thing. Under the blow, it immediately shattered into bone fragments, and the bone fragments scattered in all directions. Come on, if it falls like this, it's obviously broken.

Einstein suddenly turned his head and looked at the guy who dared to ruin his good deeds.

A skeleton with bat wings growing on its back holds a gun in its hand, its jaws open and close, and the clicking sounds of its upper and lower teeth seem to be provocative, and it looks very flat.

Anyway, the dominoes were gone. Einstein retracted his hand, picked up the dagger and rushed towards the opposite side.

Seeing that the situation was bad, the skeleton was about to run away, but Einstein's dagger had already arrived in front of him, and cut off his wings with two knives. The skeleton that lost its wings immediately fell down and fell to the ground into a pile of scattered bones. It is estimated that it will not be able to get up in a short time.

Einstein chuckled and took back the dagger, turning around to find the next target.

"Bang -"

Another shot, this one was much harder, hitting him directly in the lower back.

Einstein covered his waist and turned his head fiercely, only to see Wade before he could take the gun back.

Einstein: "..."

Wade: "..."

This is very embarrassing.

Einstein asked quietly: "Are you an undercover agent sent from somewhere?"

Weidi looked incredulous: "I am clearly targeting the resentful soul behind you..."

Einstein, who had been devastated by strong winds and waves, remained calm: "I've been meaning to ask for a long time, why do you have to choose a firearms expert when you have the same sunset red marksmanship as the teacher?"

Wade seemed to have a dark cloud on his head: "After my analysis, if I choose close combat, I will die. , if you choose support, your opponent will become stronger, but if you choose a high-damage profession such as heavy artillery, you will die, so the damage is not high, and the firearms expert of the long-range profession is my best choice..."

Einstein: "..."

It really makes sense.

After watching Wei Di's marksmanship, Xiao Zhi was suddenly glad that he was a long-range shooter and would not face the threat of being shot behind his back by his senior brother. Moreover, the undead had the advantage in the air, making Xiao Zhi feel happier throwing fireballs.

He took a look at Li Daye's position and found that it was empty. I don't know when, Li Daye has been sent back to the realm of Athanasi.

Today's teacher's performance is still very stable.

As the dominoes get closer and closer to the bottom, the competition becomes more and more fierce.

A domino approached Xiao Zhi, and the surrounding undead rushed toward him, threatening to tear him into pieces.

Xiao Zhi looked calm and still cast spells steadily in his hands.

The next moment, a green fire tornado suddenly rose from around him. All the undead that rushed towards him did not dare to resist the fire and could only retreat collectively. Even if they took a step back, it wasn't enough. The flames became even more intense under the support of the soul chasers, forcibly clearing an open space around Xiao Zhi.

Taking advantage of this brief opportunity, Xiao Zhi stretched out his hand at the center of the flame and easily got the domino.

The surrounding undead still did not give up. They waited for the flames to disappear so that they could seize the opportunity to kick this hateful competitor out.

After a few blinks of an eye, the flames protecting Xiao Zhi finally disappeared, and the undead swarmed up in unison, using magic, swords, and claws to greet Xiao Zhi.

Xiao Zhi's body turned into a little green flame the moment he was attacked, and disappeared in their shocked eyes.

All that was left was the illusion of fire. Xiao Zhi's body had already left the place to support his senior brothers.

the other side.

I saw Xiao Zhi continuously firing undead fire around like a high-altitude fort, while Einstein kept flashing and weaving among the many contenders, like the sharpest knife.

As for Wade, Einstein told him not to do anything, just stay there and secretly search for the location of the portal.

The two dominoes landed not far from Einstein at the same time. In addition to him, several other pairs of eyes were also staring at this place.

Einstein looked at Xiao Zhi, who nodded slightly at him.

Einstein's figure suddenly disappeared, and the next moment he appeared in front of the domino, reaching out to grab the domino.

How could the undead around him let him succeed like this? Almost all of them rushed towards this side, but before they could get close, a series of undead fires came towards them.

The fireballs in Xiao Zhi's hand continued to fire, forming a line of fire that blocked Einstein's path.

Seeing that Einstein succeeded, Xiao Zhi immediately retreated, and the two men quickly disappeared from the battle.

Wei Di was playing mushrooms in the corner when his senior brother suddenly appeared in front of him. Einstein threw a domino into Wei Di's arms and pulled him up: "Let's go."

Xiao Zhi asked: "Senior Brother Sixteen, have you found the location of the portal?"

Wade nodded while floating, and pointed in the direction: "Over there. I have observed that those who grabbed the dominoes, as long as they go in that direction , did not return, the portal must be over there."

The two of them did not doubt his judgment, and used the speed of the undead to quickly go there.

At this time, most of the dominoes in the air had their owners, and only a few were still fighting for it. The undead behind them discovered their traces, and some of them, in order to distract themselves from the pressure, shouted: "They all have dominoes on them! Catch them!"

With these words, it was as if the supermarket had started a half-price sale, and countless pairs of lifeless eyes stared at Xiao Zhi and the others.

Wade felt bad: "It's over, it's over..."

Einstein glanced at the undead who were following closely behind him: "Continue, we will run faster."

Not long after, a light blue figure could be seen in front of him. The colored portal stood quietly.

"They are running away!"

"Catch it!! For the dominoes!!"

"The lord is mine!!!"

The undead behind them screamed crazily, and their speed became faster and faster, and some even jumped in excitement. The weapon was thrown over without any sign of distress.

Xiao Zhi dodged the hammer thrown at him and took stock of the distance between his side and the back. It's a bit ominous. If they continue like this, they will be caught up not far from the portal, and then there will be trouble in the melee.

He thought for a moment and opened his backpack.

The next moment, the undead who were chasing behind them saw a person in front of them suddenly turned around, threw something towards the skeleton archer chasing behind, and shouted: "Here you go, I want to go to the next level." Just run with us!"

The voice was very clear, and the undead people present could hear it clearly.

There was a distance, and the thing was a bit small, so I couldn't see what it was for a while, but the color really looked like a domino.

The skeleton archer who caught the thing was a little confused. He actually didn't see what it was, but he still subconsciously tightened the thing in his hand and hid it inside.

This moment caused the atmosphere around him to become uncomfortable.

The skeleton archer is the closest to this thing and the only one who has the opportunity to see clearly what it is. This action is equivalent to acquiescence to the domino in his hand in the eyes of others.

"Dominos!" A resentful soul whose brain had been shot shouted, and he suddenly jumped forward on all hands and feet. Who cares, let's grab it first.

Stimulated by his actions, the people around him couldn't help but join in the fight, and the fight broke out for a while. In fact, they didn't know whether the thing was a domino, but everyone grabbed it, what if they missed it? Thanks.

Once you have this kind of mentality, more and more people will participate in the competition.

There are also those who have always been skeptical about this, but the crowd of people fighting for them blocked their progress, so that they had to bypass this group of idiots before they could continue forward, which delayed their pursuit time.

In just a few seconds, Xiao Zhi and the others had disappeared into the portal.

The fight at the door continued, with everyone punching and kicking each other, causing sparks to fly.

At this time, the object they were fighting for rolled out of the crowd and rolled on the ground several times before finally stopping. Having lost their target, everyone had to pause their movements and look over there.

Although the object that fell on the ground was also white in color, it was shiny, hard, and round, and was obviously not made of bone.

This is not a domino. It is clearly a gold shell with a denomination of 10,000 yuan. If you look carefully, the white color is actually the color of metal, to distinguish it from other denominations of gold shells.

Everyone glared angrily at the first grudge that rushed forward, blaming this guy for messing around with the rhythm. As expected, he would not be smart after his brain was ripped open.

The resentful soul whose brain was ripped apart said: "..."

It's his fault.

·

After passing through the portal, the first thing Xiao Zhi felt was the soft touch under his feet.

The next moment, a gorgeous Gothic-style hall appeared in front of you. The high dome, exquisite stained glass, and dark color gave off a luxurious and cold feeling.

In the middle of the hall is a dark blue velvet sofa, on which sits a delicate-looking, inhumanly beautiful white-haired girl. The girl was wearing a black Lolita dress with exquisite decorations all over her body. Her eyes were closed and she seemed to be asleep.

Xiao Zhi could tell at a glance that this girl was indeed not a human being, but a doll of exquisite craftsmanship.

He looked around. Apart from the three of them, he couldn't see anyone else in the hall, and he didn't know where the other people who had passed the first level had gone.

Suddenly, the girl's eyes opened, revealing a pair of crimson blood-red eyes. Coupled with her pale skin and white hair, they matched the style of the entire building very well.

The girl looked at Xiao Zhi and the others, stood up and bowed: "Distinguished guests, welcome to the Gray Mist Pavilion. I am Nita, and I am honored to serve you."

Her voice was rigid, as if it had been synthesized. The voice sounded lifeless at all.

The three of them exchanged glances, not quite understanding what the second level was going to test them for.

Nita walked towards the three of them: "The master is not at home for the time being, but he told Nita that he must entertain all distinguished guests. Nita has prepared a banquet for you. Do you want to go now?"

Xiao Zhi did not answer immediately, he asked Other questions: "Who is your master?"

Nita: "Nita can't tell you for the time being."

Weidi also tentatively asked: "Do you know how to get out of here?"

Nita: "Nita can't tell you for the time being. "

Seeing this, several people felt that something was wrong. The doll seemed to be very mechanical and could only answer a range of questions.

Einstein did not speak. He took out his address book and signaled to the two of them. Xiao Zhi and Wei Di understood and opened the address book. The three of them stood here and chatted blatantly, relying on the fact that the NPC could not see the contents of their communications.

Nita still remained motionless in her previous position, and she would not continue to act until she received the next instruction.

Fifteen: What do you think of the banquet she mentioned?

16: According to the routine of traditional ghost stories, this banquet must have hidden dangers, such as finding out that the food you ate has long since rotted, or that the delicacies are actually bugs, mice, or the like.

Seventeen: It may also be that you choose a branch of the plot, and something strange will unfold after eating the food here, or it may be that you were fine at the time, but found that you couldn't leave here when you finally cleared the level.

Fifteen: Let's forget it. Actually, I'm still a little curious about what she's going to give us.

16: Don't be lazy, if the three of us hang here, what do you think the teacher will do?

Seventeen: The young men with the mission have fallen, and the future of mankind is dark!

Fifteen: Damn it! Is this an irresistible fate? After all, they paid by mistake...

The three people spared no effort in complaining about their teachers.

As Saohua said, Xiao Zhi put away the address book and said to Nita: "We feel very tired today. I wonder if we can go to rest first?"

He wanted to see if he could start a development direction other than the banquet.

This time, Nita finally had a different reaction: "Guests, you want to rest... Nita will take you to the room."

Einstein and Weidi secretly gave Xiao Zhi a thumbs-up sign, and the meaning was very clear - Xiao Zhi Junior brother is awesome.

Heisen, Palace of Bones.

Lance walked down the corridor holding a large stack of paperwork.

He is the tallest among the knight commanders, much taller than ordinary people, but the documents he holds in his hands are even taller, and Lance's height almost touches the ceiling of the corridor. .

"Knock knock knock"

Lance knocked on the lord's door.

"What's going on?" A calm and indifferent voice came from inside.

"Lord, I brought you the documents that I have accumulated recently. I have not processed them for several months." Lance said.

"Put it over at the Government Affairs Office. I'll take care of it when I have time."

"But...it's already over there..." Lance tried to persuade his boss not to be passive and slow down.

"Leave it alone."

Lance waited for a while, but there was still no other sound coming from behind the door, which showed that the Hessian lord was very determined not to want to work.

After scratching his head, he finally turned around and headed towards the other side of the corridor with the paperwork in hand.

Lance raised his head and glanced at the documents that could barely see the top. He didn't know if the remaining space in the Government Affairs Office could accommodate these?

He silently mourned in his heart for the upcoming clerk.
