The days when I helped the protagonist come to power [System]

East of Castle Castle, Black Sour Plum Tavern.

As the most famous landmark in Hostalburg, the Black Sour Plum Tavern was as crowded as ever tonight.Compared with the noble and elegantly decorated restaurants and hotels in the core block, many people are more willing to spend time in a lively and noisy civilian tavern at night-especially when something important happens in the city, the tavern that spreads the news is always crowded. best choice.

And tonight, there happened to be an important event that could attract the attention of the whole people.

"I bet 119 people!"

"Too little, I bet 180 people!"

"197 people! No more!"

In the lobby on the first floor of the tavern, there were voices of betting and yelling one after another—no one could tell when the bet started on the number of people who passed the final entrance examination of Horst Castle School of Magic and Magic. Over the years, it gradually changed. became a tradition.Not only the Black Sour Plum Tavern, but the same game is played out in countless places in Fort Hostal.Although the entrance examination has nothing to do with most civilians, the tradition of gambling has become a joy for the whole people to participate in. The excitement and the number of participants are comparable to a city-wide carnival.

People kept pouring into the tavern. In the lively and noisy atmosphere, when a man in a black cloak and a black mask lowered his head and entered the tavern, he didn't attract too many people's attention.He cautiously bypassed the drunken drinkers, walked through the noisy hall, and went straight up the stairs to the third floor.

Compared with the hustle and bustle downstairs, the third floor of the tavern is full of independent VIP rooms.In the corridor covered with dark black carpets, there was almost no sound of footsteps, and few people walked in the corridor, making it seem more and more quiet.The man walked all the way to the end, without knocking on the door, but directly pushed open the mahogany door that was concealed.

This is a very simple and elegant small private room, with a dark red tone as a whole. There is a huge double-sided window directly opposite the door. The window is opened a crack, and the light red curtain beside the window is gently flapped by the wind.

There is no extra furniture in the room, only a set of tables and chairs for two people, and there is already one person sitting in front of the table.Same as last time, the people at the table didn't raise their heads, they just stared intently at a crystal glass full of wine in front of them.If there is any difference, it is probably that the wine in the glass this time is clear blue, not dark red.

The man took off his mask, took off his cloak, and sat down on the opposite side of the chair.Compared with the last time we met, his mood was completely different this time.

But the other party's attitude was quite different from last time - the silver-haired young man kept staring at the wine glass in front of him, his brows were slightly frowned, as if he had something on his mind.

After being so cold and silent for a long time, the latecomer finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Brother, he... well, I mean, Hugein, he, is much better."

"Oh."

After a absent-minded answer, the other party stopped talking.After waiting for a while, Xio could only speak again.

"What about your conditions?"

He is not a talkative person. During the five years he lived in the soul of Xiu Geyin, he has not communicated with anyone, and even once felt that he did not need to communicate with the outside world, but at this moment, he hoped that he could Get more information from the person in front of you.

"What do you need me for?"

It took a long time for Ersie to raise his head. He glanced at Xio and moved his gaze out of the window.

"I have not decided yet."

Xio was stunned: "No, think about it?"

"Ah."

With a wave of Ersiyan's hand, the originally half-open window suddenly opened completely. This private room was just facing the street, and the bustling voices outside suddenly became clear, and accompanied by the cool night wind, they poured into the small room together.

"Wait a little longer."

Erxi crossed his arms, leaned back on the back of the chair, and closed his eyes slightly, as if he was closing his eyes to rest his mind.

"Soon... there will be results."

***

When the hands of the clock on the wall on the first floor of the tavern pointed to "Nine", many gamblers were still holding their chips, hesitating.

But they are not in a hurry. Judging from the experience of previous years, the No. 1 successful tower breaker is often born after ten o'clock - twelve o'clock at noon is the time for the third round of exams, and midnight is midnight. When the exam is over, as the ultimate test of the entrance exam, it is considered a very remarkable achievement to pass through the first nine floors of the star tower in ten hours.

——So, when the star tower's bell suddenly rang through the night sky, many people didn't react for a while.

The noisy tavern hall suddenly fell silent, and people looked at each other. It took a long time before someone spoke uncertainly.

"Could it be...the first person to successfully break into the tower this year has appeared?"

After a moment of silence, the whole Black Sour Plum Tavern became a sensation.

Not only the Black Sour Plum Tavern, but also the streets and alleys of Fort Hosta are already boiling.It took more than an hour to exceed the previous record of candidates breaking the tower, which can only be described as a monster-you must know that before this, the refreshment of the tower breaking record was calculated in minutes!

Who is it?Everyone is buzzing.Is there such a powerful character in this year's candidates?

The doubts of the crowd did not last long, and soon inside news came from the academy——

"Sin Loya! Eh? Don't you know who he is? He is the only son of Lord Kane of the Holy Knight Order, the young master of the Loya family!"

Fort Hosta tonight is comparable to a carnival city that never sleeps. The exclamations and praises passed on from one mouth to another merged into a torrent of voices. From this moment on, the name of "Sin Loya" has been imprinted in every Castle Fort Hosta people's hearts.

The evening breeze brought the coolness of the night and the hustle and bustle of the street. Naturally, people's discussions spread to the third floor of the tavern. The silver-haired young man who had been resting his eyes slowly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the star tower. glance.

Sure enough...it was him.

Ersie showed a strange expression on his face.Although the ending had been predicted, when it actually happened, it still gave him a sense of absurdity and unreality.

——After all, in the past, the person who successfully broke through the tower an hour earlier and enjoyed the sensational treatment of the whole city...was Hei Luomi.

Picking up the wine glass in front of him, Erxi took a sip, and then turned his gaze back to the star tower in the night.Hugh, who was sitting across from him, looked at Ersie and then out of the window, thinking.

"You, are you waiting for this?"

Ersie said nothing, but nodded imperceptibly.His gaze never moved away from the window.

But the second bell of the Star Tower did not ring for a long time.

About an hour and a half passed before the No. 2 passer that everyone was looking forward to appeared - the longer the interval, the more it shows the gold content of No. 1. After No.2 appeared, the ringing of the bell gradually became more intensive and continuous——No.3, No.4, No.5... In the next hour or so, more than 100 passers were born one after another. As two o'clock approached, the hustle and bustle of the tavern reached its peak——

"144!! It must be 144!!!"

"Ah! Did you hear that! Another!! Hahaha, I won the bet, 145!!!"

"Twice in a row!! It's 147!!! It must be 147!!!"

After the 147th ringing of the bell, there was no movement for as long as 10 minutes.

At this time, it was only the last 5 minutes before twelve o'clock at midnight. Ersey subconsciously stood up from his seat, walked to the window, and leaned over to look out.It's not far from Horstburg Academy of Magic. Even though the night is dark, you can still vaguely see the star tower standing tall in the darkness.

— 147 people.

There were 147 people who passed the exam that year.One is not more, one is not less.Now that Xin replaced Hei Luomi and became the undisputed No.1, then can Hei Luomi... still pass this exam?

Time passed by every minute and every second, and finally, the bell sounded again—not the bell of the Star Tower, but the chime of twelve o'clock in the middle of the night in the city square.

——The exam is over.

The strings that had been tense in her heart suddenly relaxed, and the strong contrast gave Ersie a sense of loss.He sighed, sat down at the round table again, and looked at Xio.

"Now, let's talk about the conditions for treating your brother."

The white-eyed man nodded.During the last meeting, Ersey had already demonstrated his method of treating Hugein, but he hadn't made his request for a long time, which made Xio feel a little uneasy. Fortunately, the other party is finally willing to make an offer.

"My request is..."

Suddenly, the bell rang again from the star tower!

It stepped on the No.12 lower end of the square's chime, resounding through the entire Fort Horstadt.At the same time, the voice of the system resounded jubilantly in Ersie's mind——

【Master Hei Luomi succeeded in breaking into the tower!Congratulations, Lord Orderer, you have completed "One of the main missions: Embark on the Journey", the task reward is - to unlock the "Gold Finger" function, and get a chance to "randomly draw cheat skills" once, welcome to log on to the cheat page to get rewards charge! 】

The system's rapid-fire broadcast made Ersey's mind buzz, but this did not prevent him from curling up his lips and showing a happy smile.

That kid... that's fine.

It seems that I have to revise my future plans.

"Let's continue." Erxi coughed lightly, and looked at the man across from him again, "The condition for me to heal your brother is..."

After listening to Ersey's request, Hugh's face suddenly turned ugly.

"This is impossible!" He retorted fiercely, "It's too difficult... This is simply impossible!"

"Have you forgotten what I said before?" Erxi raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "This is not a request, but an order. You have no right to refuse."

Xio clenched his fists with a complicated expression.

"This matter may be a bit difficult, but if Xiu Geyin is allowed to come forward, there is still hope."

"Let him, come forward? But..."

"You don't need to expose your existence, just affect his cognition. I know you can do it because...you've done it before, haven't you?"

Xio suddenly looked up at Erxi, a fierce light flashed in his white pupils, but soon he lowered his head again.

"You know...a lot."

"I know far more than you can imagine." Ersey smiled, not caring about the instant murderous intent shown by the other party just now, "Now, what's your answer?"

***

When He Luomi pushed open the door of the hotel room, she saw that there was no one inside as expected.

The bed was empty, and the man's luggage was gone. Although it was two o'clock in the morning, through the half-opened window, people could still hear the loud and noisy voices in the distance.

He went to the window and closed it completely, and the room was finally quiet.The bright moonlight projected into the room, illuminating a thin post-it note on the bed by the window.

--【Congratulations.See you in two months. 】

Hei Luomi looked at the sticky note in his hand expressionlessly, and it took a long time before he raised his head.He suddenly looked at the shadow where the moonlight could not reach, and said coldly.

"come out."

As if the ground suddenly rotted into a viscous swamp, a vague black figure twisted and floated from the shadow swamp, and then bowed deeply to Heromi.

"Master, we have been looking for you for a long time."

"Seeing me again, you seem very unhappy." Hei Luomi said lightly.

The black shadow kneeling on the ground trembled violently, and there was a bit of urgency in his voice.

"How is it possible... I, we all look forward to your early return, Master..."

"But I don't want to go back anymore." Hei Luomi played with the sticky note in his hand, and finally smiled for the first time on his cold face after entering the room, "It's more fun outside."

The black shadow trembled more violently than before, and even the voice began to tremble.

"But the Lich King's whereabouts are unknown, Yeji is dead, and now the edge of the Black Mountain is in chaos, this opportunity..."

"Ah, you reminded me." Hei Luomi's voice suddenly became colder, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop a bit, "The old guys paid such a high price to deal with me last time, it's impossible not to return the favor Well...heh, whatever, let’s go back and have a look.”

"Yes Yes……!"

The black shadow immediately retracted into the shadow, and the moment it disappeared, the range of the swamp of shadows expanded sharply, and soon spread to Hei Luomi's feet.The boy stepped into the swamp, and his whole body began to sink slowly.

"See you in two months." Before disappearing completely, Hei Luomi took a last look at the sticky note held between her fingers, smiled and kissed it lightly, her slightly drooping eyelashes concealed a flash of strange color in her eyes.

"...Don't break your promise, brother Er."

****Boundary Line of Reincarnation****

While waiting at the finish line, he was so restless for the first time.

Although he was already able to leave the star tower, when he stood on the roof, he could even hear the noise and celebration in the city, those people were shouting his name enthusiastically - "Heiluomi", but at the moment he was not in the mood Accepting those exaggerated congratulations, his eyes just kept staring at the black door that symbolized customs clearance.

The 20th person... the 21st person...

The 100th person... the 101st person...

The 133th person... the 134st person...

The bells of the Star Tower rang one after another, composing an ode to the victors. Candidates pushed open the door one after another. They were exhausted, but also extremely excited.Cecil was the 136th passer. He rushed over excitedly and couldn't wait to share his joy with him. If usual, Heluomi thought that he would be happy to share the joy of success with this best friend, but right now... He was not in the mood.

The zero o'clock bell finally rang.

After the twelve bells had rung, the examiner announced the end of the exam.Almost at the same time, the black door was pushed open - the person he had been waiting for appeared.

Unlike most of the people who reached the finish line in embarrassment, the silver-haired boy didn't have any scars on his body, as if he just took a simple walk in the tower.

The examinees who arrived at the same time as him, when they learned that they were only one step away from victory, all showed expressions of grief, and some even cried bitterly on the spot, while that person just quietly looked at the big clock on the star tower for a while, then lightly Sighed lightly.

This person is always like this.

From the first day he knew him, Hei Luomi felt that this boy named "E" was a bit strange.He is different from anyone I have ever met. Although I can't tell what is different, but like a bright light in the dark, even if you are in the crowd, you can easily spot his difference with just one glance.

Hei Luomi thought for a long time and observed for a long time, and recently came to a vague conclusion——

Probably because... this person is too calm and calm.

It is a kind of calmness and patience from the depths of the soul, just like beasts dormant in the grass, what enables them to successfully capture their prey is not only overwhelming power, but also a kind of ability to withstand long-term suffering calmness and patience.

It's hard to imagine that this kind of feeling will appear in a 15-year-old boy. Although he performed very calmly in this exam, it even makes people wonder whether he has tried his best, but after observing for so long, Hei Luomi can I can say with certainty: that person has really worked hard.

Although most of the time, that person always has a chic and casual look, and occasionally shows cynicalism, but Heluomi can feel that he is really, really, very serious and trying hard to pass this college exam .

——Completely different from myself.

That kind of experience of having a clear goal, working hard for it, not being discouraged even if you fail, and being able to keep trying and paying for it firmly and persistently... Heiluomi has never had it before.

From childhood to adulthood, no matter what he wants or what he wants to do, he can easily achieve it with just a thought.Although he always has a smile on his face, he seldom feels joy from the bottom of his heart, because everything comes so easily, and he simply cannot understand how it feels to be attached to one thing.Perhaps as the saying goes: A life that is too lucky is itself a kind of misfortune.

It may be because of the lack of this kind of emotion that he is particularly interested in E.And from getting acquainted to getting along, the other party gave him more and more surprises along the way.Gradually, he no longer wants to have friendship with this person who just met by chance, but hopes to know more about him and get to know him more.

As long as the other party can pass this test and become his classmate, all this can be realized, but unfortunately...

Standing in the crowd, Hei Luomi watched the man take his gaze away from the clock of the star tower, turned around and walked towards the exit.He subconsciously wanted to chase after him, but after taking a few steps, he gradually stopped.

--Do not.

A thought suddenly flashed in my mind, like a meteor flashing by in the night sky.

——Even if that person fails the exam, it won't be the end.

——Almost forgot, as long as it is what he wants to do, the world will definitely find a way to help him realize it.

- without exception.

So this time, he made a wish here, and begged the gods of this world to fulfill his long-cherished wish once again with a firm and persistent mood that he had never had before.

—— [I want that person to be able to enter the academy smoothly. 】

The cool night wind blew the black hair on the young man's forehead, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly. It was not the usual formulaic smile, but a rare genuine smile from the heart.

He knew that this wish would definitely come true.

--Most definitely.
