PFC Chapter 116: Follower Test
Chapter 116: Follower Test
"Ming! Eat this!"
Hong returned to Qin Yangming with a pile of things in her arms, those things even blocked Hong's little head.
"Ming! This dress is also beautiful and suits you very well, so I bought it!"
As Hong spoke, she took out a black robe of novel style, which was embroidered with yellow cloud patterns and had a hood.
Qin Yangming thanked her, but Hong was flattered and shook her head repeatedly, saying that the money should have been given to Ming. Ming still thanked her, which really made her at a loss as to what to do.
Qin Yangming laughed loudly. Hong looked at Qin Yangming putting the black robe over his back. Her eyes lit up and she exclaimed that it fit her well.
"Thank you so much, Ming!"
Hong bowed deeply to Qin Yangming again. She and her grandmother had always lived in poverty. With this money, their lives would be much better. They could buy medicine to treat her grandmother's lung disease, buy her a thick coat, and even buy an oil lamp so that their house would not be so dark...
Qin Yangming looked at Hong who was talking nonstop, thinking that he had just made a lot of money from selling Yunshang. He wondered how surprised Hong would be when he took out this huge sum of money.
Qin Yangming joked:
"Okay, okay, didn't you say you wanted to test the followers?"
Hong suddenly remembered the test of the followers, and the joy in her heart was instantly replaced by anxiety. She grabbed Qin Yangming's hand and ran quickly.
"Oh, I forgot! Let's go home and put our things away, then hurry to church!"
The two ran all the way back home. Grandma looked at Hong in shock as she threw all the things in her hands, big and small, onto the bed. Before she could finish her question, she saw Hong pulling Qin Yangming away in a hurry.
"Did these two go to steal?"
Bad associations instantly emerged in the old man’s mind.
On the other side, when Hong and Qin Yangming arrived at the church, the test of the followers was about to begin.
The old woman who presided over the awakening ceremony yesterday was still the one presiding over the test of the followers. She was getting anxious and kept swinging her crocodile tail because Hong had not arrived yet. All the awakened ones who had just turned eighteen stood where they were and dared not say a word, for fear that any movement they did not notice would provoke the examiner who was on the verge of exploding.
"rainbow!"
When the old woman saw Hong finally arriving, the anger that had been brewing was about to explode. She opened her eyes wide and stared at Hong with the whites of her eyes, as if she wanted to stare her to death.
“You’re late!!!”
"Everyone is waiting for you, you bastard!"
"You want to be a dog?!"
The old woman cursed loudly, saying that today's ceremony of followers was actually used to select [dogs]. Some awakened ones with outstanding performance could become dogs of the nobles, thus achieving their own class leap.
The old woman walked towards Hong aggressively. The crocodile's tail behind her was stretched straight up to the sky, as if it wanted to pierce Hong through with its hard tail.
Hong shrank back in fear, her frail body shaking uncontrollably.
Qin Yangming's eyes were cold and revealed murderous intent. If this old woman really wanted to do something evil today, he wouldn't mind letting her be the first person he killed when he came to Dan City!
Just then, a sharp scream came from outside the church.
"The nobles are here!!!"
Everyone in the church was shocked. Those awakened ones who had just turned eighteen all turned their heads to look outside, their eyes filled with fanaticism.
Being able to stand out in the Follower Test and become the [Dog] of these nobles is something that can bring honor to their family!
The old woman immediately restrained her expression and put on a look of respect and humility. She no longer cared about Hong, but ran to the outside of the church in two steps and three steps at a time to personally welcome the person.
Qin Yangming saw that many four-wheeled carriages were creaking and stopped outside the church. The family crests carved on each carriage were very different, and each family crest was a symbol of noble status.
Among them, he actually saw a familiar clan emblem. It was the clan emblem of the [Teng] family that he had seen today, a poisonous snake coiled on an iron sword.
The old woman ran to the church door humbly and said respectfully:
"My Lords, the test for the followers has been prepared. There are a total of 356 awakened people who are 18 years old this year. They have all arrived and are currently waiting in the church."
Many nobles in gorgeous robes got off the carriage one after another. They all had one thing in common: the strange characteristics of the objects in custody were fully reflected in these nobles, while the human characteristics were weakened.
Under the extremely respectful guidance of the old woman, the nobles walked into the church in groups of two or three.
Today they are going to choose their new dog here.
The anxious awakeners who had been waiting in the church for a long time began breathing heavily when they saw these important figures arrive. They couldn't wait to show their best side.
The old woman stood still and shouted loudly to all the awakened ones:
"The follower test begins now!"
"Wait!"
A sudden voice interrupted the old woman's words, and everyone looked in one direction, the noble who had just spoken.
The noble was covered in a white robe, with only his exposed head allowing people to roughly judge what he was.
I saw a skull that looked like a bird's skull on the collar, with a long pointed beak that opened and closed, making an uncomfortable sound:
"I suggest that this year's Favored Ones test should not be conducted in the same way as before."
His words also attracted the attention of other nobles, and all those strange-looking nobles looked at him.
The skull-headed bird continued:
"I suggest that this year's Favored Ones test be conducted in the form of a duel to test the actual combat capabilities of these Awakened Ones!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience suddenly burst into a noisy voice.
The noble explained plausibly:
"You know, the crime rate in Egg City is skyrocketing right now!"
"So the [dogs] we select can no longer be the same as before, we need to pay more attention to their actual combat capabilities!"
He said:
"This is the only way to protect us!"
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted the approval of other nobles and they echoed them.
"Yes, things are not peaceful in Egg City now!"
"Have you heard? A direct descendant of the Chao family was brutally murdered the day before yesterday!"
"Ah? Really? Could it be that group of people doing this again?"
"That's them! Who else would do such a thing except for those crazy wanted criminals like them?"
For a while, the nobles discussed it endlessly and all supported this wise proposal.
"So, let's judge them by actual combat!"
Finally, the noble looked at the old woman and made the final decision.
"No matter life or death, only victory or defeat!"
