Gate of the Cross

Chapter 231 Preparation

Xinjie learned from Robert that the Swordsman League had visited him many times, but he was prevaried by Nanali for the reason that he had not returned from a trip.

"In that case, I will go to see the teacher. Is the teacher there?"

"Well, the teacher has always been there! Senior, just come back. Now our swordsman can finally raise his eyebrows!" Robert said angrily. After saying that, he looked at Saber, who stood beside Xinjie from beginning to end with strange eyes. "Yes, this lady is..."

Saber's excellent appearance and outstanding temperament are the focus of attention everywhere. Robert asked directly, and then turned around and stared at the trainees he - because their eyes have been on them since Xinjie and Saber appeared. On the body - more on Saber, especially men.

"Saber, my friend."

Xinjie briefly introduced, "Then I'll go first. I'll talk to you after I see the teacher and see your training results."

"Good senior! Hurry up and see the teacher. He will be surprised to see you, hahaha!"

Still the same as before, he gave a standard swordsman's salute to Xinjie, and Robert looked at Xinjie walking into Desol's room.

As soon as he turned around, his face, which was full of smiles, suddenly looked like a layer of frost: "You are very idle, aren't you? For the training just now, add 30 groups to each person!"

"Oh, my God!"

"It's really life-threatening!"

The trainees shouted bitterly, but they were stared at by Robert and quietly stopped talking.

However, many people in the neighborhood are still whispering:

"Who was that person just now? Even Luo Demon King respected him very much?"

"I don't know, but haven't you heard that the demon king of Luo called him a senior, and he must be at least a full-time swordsman. Maybe he is still a palace swordsman!"

"That's not the key, Jiang Chi, have you seen the woman next to him?"

"Of course I saw it. It's so beautiful! And looking at her appearance, she should also be a swordsman. If only I could be like her in the future?

"...I didn't mean this... Didn't you notice that she looks like Saber?"

"Who?"

Saber! Saber in FateStayNight, don't tell me you don't know her!"

"This... I really don't know, who is that? Is it famous?"

"Forget it, when I didn't say it. Sentence, what do you think? Don't tell me you don't know me either!"

"Indeed, I feel that if it's not Cosplay, it's me, but I've never seen such a similar Cosplay, especially the king's temperament, which is not something ordinary cosplayers can do."

"It's not impossible. Have you heard of it? Some people said that they had seen Okazaki a few days ago... The world is so exaggerated that it is not impossible for people from other planes to come here..."

"Have you guys said enough!"

Just as they were about to continue the discussion, Robert came to them and said in a cold tone, "It seems that you think today's training is not strong enough, right? That's good, sentence, interruption, and you! Jiang Chi, a girl also fooled around with them! Add a group of training for the three of you!"

"I'm just passing by..." Ju Zhang Jushi looked like a little sufferer.

He shrugged his shoulders and said, "It doesn't matter, sentence, this person is not on the same plane as us. By the way, Elder Robert, there is no problem with additional training. Can you tell us who the person just now is? Although I don't know why, it looks like it's very powerful.

"Hmm!"

Hearing the interruption and asking about Xinjie, Robert clapped his hands, "Come here, everyone. I have something to say!"

"Yeah!"

"Finally, I can take a break!"

"It's so inhumane!"

"Shh, be careful of being heard."

"After a while, Elder Xinjie will come to test our training results. Listen to me. If anyone humiliates you, I will make him look good!"

"Senior Xinjie? Is that the person just now?"

Some people immediately raised questions.

"That's right, that's Xinjie." Robert nodded.

"Is he awesome? "Senior?"

"Awesome? Not to mention that for you newcomers, for me, Xinjie's predecessors are difficult to look up to. If it hadn't been for him a year ago, I would have died on the way to become a full-time swordsman of the Jin Group.

Robert couldn't help recalling what happened on the road to the sighing forest.

"by the way, senior, who is the girl next to Xinjie? Are you also a member of our Swordsman Alliance? It looks very powerful!"

Jiang Chi couldn't help asking. She had just said that she wanted to be a person like Saber.

"She? She is not. She is a friend of Elder Xinjie. I heard from Elder Xinjie just introduced that her name is Saber.

Robert wanted to tell these trainees that there was no problem. Anyway, Xinjie still wanted to introduce himself after a while, but he didn't expect that his words immediately caused a burst of ** in the crowd.

Saber! It's really Saber!"

"I heard it right. That was Sabre just now!"

"What should I do? Can I ask her for an autograph?"

"What signature do you want! Go straight to take a group photo. By the way, which of you brought a camera from the surface?

"No... I should have brought a mobile phone..."

"Good sister, your kidney machine has been out of power for half a day!"

"Black my big fruit again!"

"Enough! Quiet!"

Seeing that the crowd was getting more and more chaotic, Robert finally couldn't help stopping them. "Zhang, explain to me what's going on!"

The sentence said calmly, "Senior, are you sure you want to listen? Don't be surprised when I say it!"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Okay, let me tell you, the truth is..."

"Teacher, long time no see!"

Although he hadn't seen each other for a while, Xinjie found that he was still as brilliant as before when he saw Disol at first sight.

"Xinjie?"

Disor, who was working, raised his head. There were usually guards outside his house, and idle people could not come in, but he didn't expect that Robert would come in without notice.

"Are you back?"

"Well, I'm back."

The dialogue between the two is still as simple and simple as before.

Disole and Xinjie exchanged a few casual greetings and immediately turned their attention to Saber beside him. He looked at Saber thoughtfully and said slowly:

"It seems that you have found a good helper this time."

Noting Disol's tone, Xinjie has a certain understanding of Saber's strength in the world, which can make Disol say such a thing. Even if Saber is not as good as him, it will not be too far away. What's more, she also has a treasure called the Sword of Pledge of Victory, which is a powerful and crazy killer.

"Teacher, I heard that Astia has been notified to make a second transfer?"

This is the question that Xinjie wants to know most.

"That's right! The second transfer test of this profession is not determined by each profession, but organized by the priest of Astia. They asked each profession to recommend one to three people to participate in the promotion of the main position to the royal palace class. Originally, I was going to recommend you, but I couldn't contact you, so the Swords League gave up this promotion assessment.

"Why is that? Aren't there other full-time swordsmen? Isn't Pluto and Karrett all excellent swordsmen? Xinjie asked puzzledly. At this time, he had already sat opposite Desol with Saber. After hearing that he was away and gave up the opportunity to let other swordsmen turn second, Xinjie said he could not understand.

"Indeed, Pluto and Kellert are both excellent swordsmen. In time, I also believe that they will become palace swordsmen and even better swordsmanship masters."

Disol said slowly.

"Why?" Xinjie was waiting to ask again, but he saw Disol open the drawer, take out a roll of scalp paper from it, and handed it to him: "Look at this first. This was written to me by Brumel, the high priest of Astia."

"Brumel?"

Xinjie strangely took over the roll of scalp paper. Brumel was the highest priest of the whole Astia and also had a high status in the whole kingdom of France. In a way, his status is even higher than that of the king.

He gently read out the content on the parchment so that Sabre can also hear it: "To the distinguished chief swordsman, the swordsman mentor of the Kingdom of France, and Mr. Disor of the Broken Dance: I would like to extend a sincere invitation to you on behalf of the Astia Temple. I hope you will be a full-time swordsman..."

Xinjie paused here and then continued to say, "... be able to participate in this second professional promotion assessment organized by Astia. This assessment is a necessary preparation for adventurers to become openers, so people other than those designated by Astia are not accepted. If other personnel want to advance, you can arrange the assessment after January.

- Brumel, the high priest of Astia Town.

"This..."

After reading the content on this parchment, Xinjie didn't know what to say. Why did Astia call him to take the assessment? And don't accept other people?

"Anet, La Merino and others have also contacted me. The Archers Guild, the Knights, the Magicians' Union and the Great Hall have all received the same letter. Astia selected some people from various professions to carry out this second transfer assessment. Because of the support from the palace, we can only Obey."

"Also, your friends, Gene Gray Mane, Nanali and Snow Dragon Soul are also selected candidates. I suspect that Astia has been observing you a long time ago."

Xinjie was silent. He didn't know what to say.

"Since you're back, go to Jenova quickly."

Dizol said and stood up, "I will contact Astia and ask him to arrange someone to pick you up."

"Remember, in any case, your safety will always come first. It doesn't matter if you can't advance this time. Astia has been struggling on the front line of fighting against the demons for many years, and their assessment is likely to be more difficult than expected."

"I know, teacher."

"However, the requirement given by this assessment is that everyone who receives the assessment is free to take a person to participate," Disol said and looked at Saber. "If you want to take this lady with you, I think I can rest assured that the people in the world who can threaten her are basically It doesn't exist."

No wonder Xinjie felt that Disol had never been worried. It was because of Saber. This is also the first time that Disor has made a positive comment on Saber's strength, which is higher than Xinjie imagined.

"Then teacher, I'm ready to leave now."

Even Blumel said that this matter is related to becoming an opener, and Nanali, Gene and others have taken a step ahead, so he was a little anxious.

"Well, go early and come back early. I believe you will be able to complete the test, and then we will have another royal swordsman!" Speaking of this, Disol was obviously a little happy, but he was not very good at expressing his feelings, just smiled at Xinjie.

After leaving Disor's room, he asked Saber, "Saber, what do you think?"

"You mean the swordsman just now?" Saber asked back.

"Uh... that's right, then you can talk about it first." Xinjie originally wanted to ask Saber what he thought about the incident just now, but he did want to hear Saber's comments on Disol. After all, Disol gave her a high evaluation in front of Saber just now.

"Very strong, stronger than the Shavat we met last time. If it is in the Holy Grail War, it is fully qualified for the position of Saber. And the magic flow in his body is stable and does not appear. Jay, do you know his age? He doesn't look as young as he looks.

"I heard from the teacher that he seems to be more than 200 years old."

"That's right." Saber nodded.

"Saber, if you fight him, who will have a better chance of winning?"

Saber heard Xinjie ask this, pondered for a while, and then said, "I'm not sure that I haven've seen him take action, but if I don't use treasures, I think I can at least make a draw."

In the case of not using treasures? Xinjie suddenly understood what Saber meant. If he doesn't use treasures, he can make a draw. So what about using treasures? Now Saber is no longer the Saber who has just come to this world. He can make up for her at any time... Er...

When he thought of this, Xinjie had a slight fever on his face and turned his head to look at Saber. Unexpectedly, he saw that she was also looking at him, and his cheeks were slightly red.

โ€œ......โ€

The two of them turned their heads at the same time, and they were a little embarrassed. Everyone is smart. Obviously, they have guessed that both of them wanted to go together just now. Looking back on that night, they don't know what to say. Thinking about it, this kind of thing is likely to happen in the future - after all, the battle is still going on, and Xinjie learned through Guimu Guima that there is indeed no Other ways to mend magic.

The magic patch has not yet been successful, and comrades still need to work hard. There is a long way to go.

Just when neither of them knew what to say, suddenly someone helped them break the embarrassment.

"Look! Saber is over there!"

"It's really Saber!"

"It's a real person! Get out of the way, get out of the way, I want Saber's signature!"

"Don't squeeze! Don't squeeze! Damn, didn't I tell you not to squeeze? Which guy is stepping on my foot!"

Saber! Saber! I love you, just like a mouse loves rice!"

"That red-haired guy over there, you are not a coyote. Let go of that Saber!"

Xinjie was very surprised to see a large number of people suddenly appearing. What's going on? Where did these people come from?

"Senior! Senior!"

Robert? What's going on?"

Xinjie looked at Robert, who was desperately squeezing in front of him from the crowd, looked at his sweaty appearance, and asked in surprise.

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have told them Saber's news."

Robert also knew what kind of popular character Saber was after passing the passage of science, and these people told their friends by email after learning that Saber really appeared in the world, so in a short moment, it was crowded with people. .

After listening to Robert's words, Xinjie could only smile bitterly. What else could he say? He couldn't blame Robert. Even he didn't expect Saber's popularity to be so high. It seems that Guimu Guima is indeed right. It is a good thing to have Saber and Rin Tosaka as followers, but it may also bring a lot of trouble. The current situation is a typical representative.

"Jay, why do these people know me?"

Saber was also a little at a loss when she saw this situation. After all, she had never seen such a creature as a fan, but she could see that these people were not malicious to her, so she could not do it, so she had to turn her eyes to Xinjie for help. This was the first time she had such a performance.

Xinjie sighed, "I'll tell you later. Let's find a way to solve the problem here first. Robert, what can I do? He asked calmly.

Robert thought for a moment and said, "These swordsmen still listen to me. They didn't think of this situation, and I always feel strange why the news of Saber here spreads so quickly. I asked the trainees, and they said that many of these people they didn't know."

Xinjie saw that many trainees were blocking the crowd, and many people had already quarreled with them. It seems that this situation will become more and more serious. If it continues, I'm afraid it will turn into a fight.

"This is someone secretly planning," Xinjie said affirmatively. He immediately remembered Saber and the people who had been following him when they left the hotel. They haven't followed up since they entered the arena. Now he thinks it's very likely to go for a walk.

"Go somewhere else to hide first." Xinjie made a decisive decision, "Go find Hard! Do you know him?"

"Senior Hard? I know!"

"Then go quickly. They won't last long."

Xinjie said when he saw that the human wall built by those trainee swordsmen was already precarious.
