Chapter 148 There must be a dirty deal behind it

"Prepare for action!"

After a brief rest and becoming the leader of the team, Ai Zheqin directed the road.

The remaining members of the Trial Group were a little uncomfortable with Ai Zheqin's sudden "reign". However, whether it was Ai Zheqin's life experience or the Ptolemy Magician behind Su Wen, they kept them blinded to this change. Most people were smart. Although when they were determined not to be threatened and monitored by Hathaway, Ai Zheqin had already made the two's plans public at the first time, which of their division of labor could get greater benefits at a glance - Su Wen took a secret attack, and there was no benefit in failure, and it was not all personal contribution to success. Ai Zheqin stayed to command, and whether it was successful or failed, he was controlled by the entire team.

Su Wen also knew clearly that while Ai Zheqin proposed the plan, he was also testing him. On the surface, he looked very respectful to Su Wen and left room for both of them. But in fact, he confirmed from the beginning that he would take over the team. Next, it depends on Su Wen's reaction. And if it were not expected, this kind of temptation still had a prerequisite. If Su Wen had not been named "the disciple of the Great Ptolemy Magician", he was not the nameless man who could be controlled at will, and perhaps even such a basic temptation would not exist. Therefore, Su Wen understood that although this guy was very well-educated, he would always smile harmlessly with human and animal squinting when he spoke, but in fact, he might be even more dangerous than Hathaway.

It is hard to say whether it is a good thing to interact with such a person.

Su Wen was not radical. He took a step back and observed everyone's words and deeds behind his back.

In short, Su Wen's current plan is indeed what he said last night and Erin, just take the needs. His initial purpose of establishing a trial group was simply to have the idea of ​​"many people and great power". He did not intend to bring this trial group outside the trial space. He even used some spoofs to remember some strange nouns in his previous life. However, when he realized that Hathaway could not be defeated by a group of people, and had to update the plan, Ai Zheqin took the initiative to turn the team from Su Wen's burden to an independent supporter. Although the price was the control of this team, since Su Wen did not regard it as an important thing, there was no big loss. Anyway, his real purpose was very simple - to teach Hathaway a harsh lesson, and if possible, according to the meaning of the Great Ptolemy Magician, he performed more brilliantly in this trial.

But despite thinking this way, Su Wen still had some small precautions against Ai Zheqin. But he knew what he was doing, and this precaution was far from reaching the superficial hostility, which was not worth it.

Some of the doubts and conjectures that last night came from this.

Like Hathaway who was the first place in the trial, although Ai Zheqin seemed to be helping herself, she was actually the team that was destined to have a conflict with Hathaway. Is the two just a coincidence of following the trend?

As for Ailin, she was actually smarter than Su Wen imagined, but when Ai Zheqin and Su Wen brought these things to the table, she seemed to have accepted the plan and actively cooperated.

Due to the serious loss of staff, even the former captain Claire King of the original fourth team was not eliminated, so the Trial Group has now broken up and reorganized three five-man teams. The first team where Su Wen is located has no casualties, but two people have been transferred out. Now there are Azheqin, Erin, Rowell, House and Su Wen himself. The second team is still captained by Bander, with Langley, Juliana, Habaroque and Mandan. As for the third team, the foreigner Chilsel who was transferred from the first team became the captain, and together with Weber, Peigia, Leon, and Claire King of the past. Although the Trial Group has a much smaller number, the ones who have not been eliminated have basically been elites, at least not to the point of dragging people down.

Everyone checked weapons, equipped with scrolls and alchemy reagents, and the whole process was quiet and efficient.

They gained a lot this time. Compared to the hard work before entering the shelter, each of them has at least a set of equipment that most primary official magicians would envy.

Soon, the assembly was completed.

"This time it's our first team to take the lead and set off."

Ai Zheqin led everyone out of the safe zone first, followed by the second team entering the combat state, while the third team was responsible for the rear guard and brought the entire trial team's supplies. After several hours of countless battles and adventures, the team was already in good shape. If it weren't for the immature faces of most of them, it might be no different from the regular mage team.

The cave buildings in the underground shelter are very quaint and have independent lighting equipment, such as two rows of fire grooves located by the wall, but Aizheqin did not ignite them easily, and even the lighting technique was not thrown too deep into it.

This is the core area of ​​the shelter, with the strongest protection ability. As an unpopular uninvited guest, what the trial team has to do is to completely break through it and obtain a large amount of resources in the core area. The passage in front of you looks no different from the place you passed by before, mottled and shabby, full of the atmosphere of ancient times, but no one would think it was a smooth road.

"Can't use trap detection, otherwise it is very likely that the channel will be self-destructed. Don't enter the channel first, just observe whether there are suspicious places like before, and if you really can't find them, then try it."

The observation ability of a single person may be limited, but when fifteen members of the trial team observe at the same time, even if the passage is very dark, in just a few minutes, as long as the enemy who can be seen near the passage is unable to escape the magic eye.

"To the left, the passage is 20 meters, the wall is damaged, and there seems to be a metallic color behind it."

“The ground has two square depressions, and the fracture is very flat.”

"There is blood here, it's been a long time, and it must have been intentionally set up..."

Soon, all the notable details in the passage were dug out, and many people discussed it whispered. Aizheqin also pondered for a moment, then leaned towards House beside her: "Christy, look at the two sunken gaps, how do you think it was caused?"

"A fracture that is as smooth as a mirror requires high precision and speed to be formed, but these two methods usually only leave a gap instead of a standard square depression. Moreover, the fracture rock has a reflective enamel layer, which is very likely to be accompanied by high temperatures when it is formed. To achieve this level, only light element magic can be possible."

Ai Zheqin nodded and continued: "Just like my idea, it is at least a directional ray above the fifth ring. It seems that it is another level that cannot be forced to pass."

"Then there must be rules for us to pass safely. We will always find things like secret keys. To be honest, I have been to the real underground shelter on the border of the Empire. After the defense system is turned on, there is no way to enter. I can't do it either. I can only open it from the inside." House scratched his short hair less than half an inch and laughed, "This place is much worse than that, but if it is true, we may not even be able to enter the second floor."

"I've left it to you, don't take it lightly."

Ai Zheqin patted his shoulder and came to Su Wen, who was also looking into the depths of the passage.

"Captain Su Wen, you seem to be confident about your subsequent actions."

"Fortunately, I have to rely on you, so I can basically only provide a vision. Now our trial team is similar to the blind, and we are completely passive. When I get Hathaway's whereabouts, I will notify you as soon as possible."

Ai Zheqin nodded, as if she wanted to say something, but seemed to hold it back, but in the end she came to Su Wen and said it softly.

"I understand, this is not fair to you, Su Wen, if I face you as a friend, I would never do this." Aizheqin's afterglow glanced above, which was the ceiling of the shelter safe area, and nothing else, "But as a descendant of the Will Smith family, some things are not determined by my will, even if it causes rifts between us."

Su Wen was stunned for a moment, as if he understood something again.

There is no way Hathaway's surveillance here, but Ai Zheqin is still careful...

"So, my friend, I sincerely hope that after this trial, you will continue to serve as the leader of the trial team."

Su Wen smiled: "I will keep paying attention."

He also glanced at the bare stone slab above.

Although he was a little surprised by the great face of the Great Ptolemy Magi that Ai Zheqin, the eldest son of the Duke family, was unwilling to leave a grudge in his heart and came here to make a sincere confession, what really made him care about was his own guess that had no basis but was confirmed. That's right, in the completely closed shelter deep in the trial group, it was not completely closed. This trial space was made for performances.

Who is here to watch the show?

It is not the audience in the Circle Arena. The programs they cheered and watched were just things that were screened out by the great magicians in the director's studio, with ornamental value. The main purpose is to be economic benefits and the Tuscan magic atmosphere. The real audience in this trial space can see all the performances at a glance, only those mages who created this space with supreme status!

Not many people understand this principle, but those who truly understand this principle have become actors who cannot disobey the script before they know it.

Although it's just an entrance trial, it's not a joke.
Chapter completed!
