Chapter 12: I'm a Fool
"Then how can Brother Caird confirm whether he is the Twelfth Saint?"
Tian Yi asked.
Caird also lowered his head and looked at Avila nervously.
Obviously, he had never heard of the fact that the test crystal could not identify the holy core before.
Avila smiled and said, "Those who possess the Holy Core don't need any tests. They will know that they are a Saint and know how to use the miracles they possess."
Hearing this, Tian Yi looked at Caird with curiosity.
Caird was stunned for a while, then lay down again with a gloomy expression: "I am just an ordinary person."
There is no doubt that until this moment he had fancied himself a saint.
In fact, many young people who are isolated from information and have lofty ambitions have similar fantasies.
Tian Yi sighed in disappointment and asked Avila, "It's said that the twelfth saint is from your Gemini Cult. They're spreading the word to the whole world to divert attention and give this new saint more time to grow. Is this true?"
...You're taking advantage of me, aren't you?
Avila smiled wryly, "That's slander, and only a fool would think that."
Tian Yi pretended not to understand the indirect criticism: "Why?"
Avila looked at him and said, "Because saints are strategic-level forces, their existence is a kind of value. Any force, when they obtain such a presence, will immediately announce it to enhance their voice. After that, they only need to protect the saint's personal information.
Especially now... this kind of information is also needed on the border to boost morale."
border?
Tian Yi's expression shifted, and he asked, "I heard there's a war going on at the border of Zhongting Continent. Who's fighting? What's the situation?"
Avila smiled and said, "This kind of information will only be accessible after Mr. Tian Yi enrolls."
We're already at war, and you're still blocking information?
Tian Yi became even more curious. He asked the young Caird boy, who was obviously also an outsider, "Have you heard about the war on the border?"
Caird nodded. "It's said to be a war of faith, and the enemy is pagans. There's also a theory that the agents of the Twin Gods are resisting the invasion of demons."
There are two versions, which means he is not sure.
Tian Yi asked, "Don't you care? This is a war. If we don't do it right, our country will be destroyed."
"There's no point caring."
Caird's expression was nonchalant. "This has been going on for nearly a hundred years. Not only have ordinary people like us not been affected, but our lives have actually gotten better over the past decade or so."
At this point, he asked Xiang Tianyi with a hint of hesitation: "Black hair and black eyes, you are from Earth, right?"
Tian Yi nodded: "Chinese."
A smile appeared on Caird's face: "People on Earth, the people in our hometown like you Chinese the most."
"why?"
"Mmm... the food is delicious."
"Haha, what dishes do you like?"
……
……
Amidst the ordinary and friendly chat, a day passed unknowingly. At noon the next day, the train stopped at Platinum City. Caird said goodbye to the three people and got off the train.
The train started again, and there were still only three people in the room.
Tian Yi asked Avila, "What should I do about the entrance exam?"
Avila was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Tian Yi, you've been holding it in all day, and this is the first question you ask?"
"If it were you, would you care?"
Tian Yi asked back.
Avila thought for a moment and nodded, "It's certainly something we should be concerned about, but Mr. Tian Yi doesn't need to worry, because everything from now on will be like this journey, without any dangers, and everything will go on as usual."
Does that mean that there will be an organization paving the way from the beginning of the journey to the entrance exam and even after that?
Tian Yi had anticipated this situation, but when it was confirmed, he was still a little shocked.
He had only verbally promised to join the Xinhuo Bureau. Strictly speaking, he did not belong to any force yet, but he did not expect to receive such a large-scale protection.
"Not only the organization, but also those people will not allow new members of the same kind to die prematurely."
Avila said, "Although there is internal discord within that circle, because they share a common external enemy, there is a bottom line in their confrontations: they cannot kill each other, even if they are newcomers."
circle?
Are you referring to a saint?
Does this mean that these saints have the same enemy, and this enemy seems to be very powerful, so that even though they fight, it will not damage the core combat power of the same camp?
Tian Yi looked at Avila thoughtfully: "So what's the situation now?"
He was asking about the Twelfth Sage who was being searched for everywhere.
Avila replied, "Just because that circle follows the rules doesn't mean everyone else does. Some people clearly don't have the capacity, yet they still foolishly dream of gaining things that don't belong to them."
Does this mean that the organization "Midnight" or the people behind them want to get the Saint?
Tian Yi suddenly realized.
Saints are strategic-level combat forces, their existence is equivalent to the nuclear weapons of the earth.
If you want to reason with a country that possesses nuclear weapons, you can only possess nuclear weapons yourself.
Seeing Tian Yi's understanding expression, Avila couldn't help but admire him. "I rarely have this kind of communication with people my age. Now that I see Mr. Tian Yi, I feel like all the experience and knowledge I've gained from traveling all over the country over the years isn't that great after all."
Tian Yi looked at her for a moment and said with a smile, "We are not the same age."
……
……
The second leg of the journey lasted for seven days. On the evening of the seventh day, the train arrived at the terminus of this leg, Night City, one of the economic centers of the Twin Holy Kingdoms.
After getting off the train, the Tian siblings and Avila bought tickets for the next day, arranged their berths in the same room, and then parted ways.
Since they had the same destination, they agreed to go together.
But no action is prepared.
Night City is the economic center of the Twin Holy Empire and an important transportation hub. Therefore, it has also been targeted by major powers on Earth, which has led to this alien city gradually modernizing the Earth over the past decade.
Along the way, we passed by tall buildings, bright lights, and the magical cars driving on the spacious roads.
Tian Yi and Tian Xiaoxiao both felt like they had returned to Earth.
"First find a place to stay, take a shower and then go out to eat and go shopping."
After walking for a while, Tian Xiaoxiao suddenly suggested.
Tian Yi looked at her with amusement: "I didn't expect your mysophobia to be so serious. There's obviously no smell at all."
Tian Xiaoxiao snorted expressionlessly: "I want something fragrant."
"Do you have any place recommendations?"
Tian Yi asked casually.
Tian Xiaoxiao said something shocking: "Mom has a hotel in Night City, and there is a room reserved for us."
Tian Yi was shocked: "Hotel? Our mother?"
Tian Xiaoxiao nodded: "Qingzhu Hotel Chain, I think that's what it's called."
……
……
Qingzhu Hotel is 6 kilometers away from Yecheng North Station and can be reached by taxi in less than 20 minutes.
Standing downstairs at the hotel, Tian Yi looked at the magnificent, decorated high-rise building in front of him: "88th floor, this is the business center, right? Holy crap!"
"This building belongs to an aunt named Yan. Mom hugged her thighs."
Tian Xiaoxiao held Tian Yi's hand and walked into the hotel. After scanning their faces, they were led to the top-floor suite by the staff.
The 88-story building is not the tallest in the city, but it is high enough to overlook most of the night city.
"Xiao Yi, there's a big bath!"
A rare exclamation came from the bathroom.
Tian Yi couldn't help laughing: "When did mother become so rich?"
Tian Xiaoxiao replied, "Mom previously invested in a very powerful person, I think her name is Yan Mu. This aunt has made a fortune in this other world in recent years, and Mom has also received a huge return. She has become a very wealthy woman from a small wealthy woman."
Tian Yi: "So we are also the second generation of rich people now?"
Tian Xiaoxiao: "Yes."
Tian Yi: "Then can we just be rice bugs?"
Tian Xiaoxiao: "I can, but you can't."
Tian Yi: “…”
……
……
At noon the next day, Tian Yi and Tian Xiaoxiao, who had a good night's rest, boarded the train refreshed.
When I walked into the room, there were already two people inside.
One is Avila who we had arranged to go together.
The other was a girl slightly younger than Villavira.
She was wearing a rough-looking linen dress, her long light blue hair tied in two ponytails and hanging down in front of her chest, and her innocent little face was thin and pale from malnutrition.
Seeing Tian Yi and his sister come in, Avila greeted them naturally, and the blue-haired girl also nodded in a friendly manner.
Tian Yi handed the luggage to Tian Xiaoxiao to pack. He sat down in his seat and asked the blue-haired girl with a smile, "What's your name, lady?"
The blue-haired girl responded generously, "My name is Lotter, and I'm a freshman at the Twin Sacred Academy."
Avila added, "The kind that allows direct admission without any assessment."
Tian Yi raised his eyebrows: "Specially recruited students?"
Avila nodded: "Tuition is free, and you can also get 500 Baihui coins every month."
The exchange rate between Baihui Coin, the currency of the Gemini Holy Kingdom and Huaxia Coin is 1:3.7.
In other words, if we do not consider the price,
This specially recruited student receives a monthly scholarship covering the standard living expenses for college students in China's first-tier cities.
Tian Yi looked at Lotter in surprise: "Boss, how did you get specially recruited?"
Boss?
Lotter was stunned when he heard this name for the first time.
Avila couldn't help but laugh: "Mr. Tian Yi, do you also want to be specially recruited?"
Tian Yi looked at her and laughed, "Who wouldn't want to? I just don't know if I'll have the chance."
"No chance."
A trace of regret appeared on Avila's face. "Special admission requires meeting two conditions: one is awakening the spirit core, and the other is passing the special admission exam."
Isn’t this admission to university?
Tian Yi looked at Lotter and asked, "Have you awakened your talent?"
Lotter smiled and nodded.
She was not prepared to reveal her natural abilities.
