Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

After listening to Xu Yue's question, Hubert's smile did not diminish, but he did not answer. Instead, he asked a question first.

"Knight Bunir made an appointment with you last night to take you to the quartermaster's office to redeem your merits today, right?"

"Yes." Xu Yue nodded in response.

"Haha, that's right."

"Knight Bunir suddenly received an urgent military order this morning, so he couldn't come, but he didn't want to break the appointment. Bunir and I are quite familiar with each other, and I also wanted to make friends with you, so I took over from Bunir. Neil’s mission is to guide you.”

"I am also quite familiar with this Black Mountain Fortress."

Looking at the gentle and handsome faces in front of him, Xu Yue was stunned for a moment, then grinned and looked directly into Hubert's slightly narrowed eyes.

"Then I'll trouble Lord Hubert."

"Haha, I said there's no need to be polite. There's no need to add the word "adult". What's more, we are not in a superior-subordinate relationship."

"Be casual, be casual..."

…………

The Black Mountain Fortress is larger than Xu Yue imagined, with numerous facilities and complicated routes.

From the outside, the fortress looks cold and rough, but many of its interior decorations appear exquisite and elegant. When walking inside the fortress, you can see many exquisite relief buildings from time to time, which add a different charm to this black fortress.

These are basically the masterpieces of the elves. As immortals, art seems to have penetrated into their bones over the long passage of time.

Even when building such a military fortress, they did not forget to leave many exquisite reliefs and statues inside.

As for the humans and dwarves, they are not so interested. The humans are mostly pragmatists, while the dwarves look down on the elaborate artistic style of the elves.

In a long corridor, Hubert and Xu Yue walked forward one after another. Hubert led the way while explaining the stories told on the reliefs inside the covered bridge.

That is the myth of the elves, the story of the Tree of Life and the Elf Queen. The Tree of Life is the source of elves, and all elves are born on the Tree of Life; and the Elf Queen is the highest leader of the elves, guiding the entire elves forward. direction.

I have to say that Hubert is very suitable for telling stories. His tone is soft, with a hint of mystery, as if he is reciting poetry, and he narrates the remoteness and romantic temperament of the elf mythology very well.

Xu Yue was listening silently behind him, watching the detailed and vivid reliefs in front of him rise and fall with Hubert's tone, which made him feel like he was watching an epic blockbuster.

The scene was particularly harmonious for a while. After getting along for a period of time, the atmosphere between them became more relaxed and casual, at least not as polite and unfamiliar as before.

However, Xu Yue always maintained a sense of caution in his heart. Considering Hubert's status, the reason for coming to him was a bit too deliberate. Moreover, judging from the respectful look on Bunir's face when he looked at Hubert in the square yesterday, It's not like they were acquainted with each other as Hubert said.

Finally, the long corridor came to the end, and Hubert's narration also came to an end. After leaving the epic corridor bridge that was flickering behind him, a dazzling golden glow splashed on Hubert's plain white shirt and Xu Yue's black hair. On the big cloak, there is a clear distinction between them, and at the same time there is a hint of harmony that complements each other.

"This is the myth of the elves. In fact, it is not wrong to call it an epic. After all, the Tree of Life does exist."

"It's amazing."

This agreement with Xu Yue really comes from the heart.

"Humanity's epic is equally shocking. When I have the chance, I will tell you about the empire's prosperity."

"Haha, I've been waiting for that fire for a long time."

Hubert also laughed twice, then pointed to a tall building behind him and said.

"That's the munitions department. Just go in. The person in charge of the munitions department is called Upton. Bunir should have introduced him to you last night."

Xu Yue nodded and expressed his sincere gratitude.

"Thank you very much for your explanation along the way."

"It's just a small matter." Hubert waved his hand.

"However, I have a question that I have always been very curious about. I wonder if I can satisfy my curiosity."

Xu Yue did not hesitate and said decisively: "Oh, may I ask?"

"Xinhuo, what I'm more curious about is what is your profession? Judging from your performance on the battlefield yesterday, you seem to be somewhat related to the power of warriors, the magic of mages, and the strangeness of shamans, but you are not one of them. any of them.”

After Hubert asked the question, he looked at Xu Yue with eyes full of inquiry.

"Of course, it's just pure curiosity. If it involves secrets, Xinhuo, you don't have to answer me."

After Xu Yue hesitated for a moment, he still replied in a relaxed tone:

"It's not a secret. I haven't decided on a specific occupation yet, and my skills are just pieced together."

"Oh!" Hubert's eyes lit up. "Then that flame you used yesterday."

Xu Yue opened his right hand slightly, and the boiling fire ignited in his palm.

"This is a personal talent."

"Talent, interesting. This is a very rare talent."

Hubert looked at the fire in front of him, leaned slightly closer, his eyes flashed with lightning, and his tone was leisurely.

"Are you joking? There are so many geniuses on the continent of Altria, and there are all kinds of unique and superb talents. My little flame is not so strange."

"That's not true. There are indeed many strange talents on the continent, but your flame is absolutely unique."

Staring at the purple flames in front of him, the lightning in Hubert's eyes became more intense, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and his whole temperament suddenly became a little deeper.

Looking at Hubert in front of him, Xu Yue remained unmoved, but narrowed his eyes slightly to cover up the purple meaning that was gradually spreading in his eyes.

As if he had noticed something, Hubert stood still slightly close to him, the lightning in his eyes dissipated, and his gentle temperament returned.

"Haha, I'm sorry, I'm a little lost. I can't help but be curious when I look at mysterious and unique things."

"Don't worry, I don't have any ill intentions, I'm just a little too curious."

Looking into Xu Yue's calm eyes, Hubert took two steps back, raised his right hand, and made a light twisting gesture with his thumb and index finger.

"However, if you want to consider a career, you have to be careful and don't waste your talents."

Seeing that Hubert on the opposite side had returned to normal, Xu Yue waved away the fire in his hand, and didn't bother to make a polite and respectful gesture again, and asked lightly.

"What advice do you have?"

"Haha, I can't say I'm giving you advice, but I still have some experience in this career path."

Hubert's tone began to turn serious.

"Xinhuo, do you know what a career is?"

"the way?"

"Yes, career is the path of our predecessors, a smooth road with a promising future."

"The ancestors have swam through enough mud, removed the dense thorns, and crossed the winding astray. At the same time, they have also set foot on a high enough position to leave a path for future generations."

"Our descendants will continue to embark on this path, continuously broadening and elevating it, and it will become the current professional inheritance."

"There are many professions on the mainland today, but in the final analysis they all originate from the original nine professions."

"Warriors, knights, mages, priests, archers, rangers, assassins, shamans, and scholars. These nine are the foundation of everything and the path set by the nine ancestors. Nowadays, various professions on the mainland are flourishing, but in the end It is to widen along these nine roads.”

Having said this, Hubert paused and looked at Xu Yue with eyes that became full of meaning.

"But your talent is different. That kind of flame is rare, separated from the power of the nine paths."

"Do you know what this means? Fire."

Before Xu Yue could answer, Hubert spoke first.

"Meaning you could be the tenth man."

As the words fell, the surrounding air became silent.

Two pairs of eyes looked at each other, one pair was calm but concealed thunder, and the other pair was blazing but deep inside.
