For the next few days, Rilke lived a very comfortable life.
As expected, after Xue'er defeated her opponent, the three of them entered the third round. Sam lost to her in the third round. The Qing Feng family returned this year without any success.
In reality, even though the three of them had entered the third round, they were still a bit uncertain. It wasn't that the third round was difficult, but that they didn't have any direction to go in, so when they couldn't come up with a conclusion, the three of them decided to just let it go.
After the second round, Heller rarely showed his face in public. He was a man who preferred to be alone, and since the three of them had already entered the third round, he no longer had any more worries and could concentrate on his training.
Occasionally, he would go out and return quickly.
However, it could be seen that he was very familiar with the imperial city.
Harris and Mentor became the busiest people.
Ever since Linke became famous, an endless stream of people came to visit him. Most of them were sent back in the name of two people who were heavily injured by Linke, which meant that a few of the nobles' ball was blocked. And after the Moutes' family's reputation spread, another effect truly made them anxious – the number of people who came to shop at the Moutts' Chamber of Commerce suddenly increased by several times!
Both of them were in pain and joy, but they couldn't help but feel some respect for Link.
This was a mysterious person. No matter where he went, there would always be great changes.
Ten days quickly passed by and Lin Ke's injuries were somewhat better. At the very least, from his appearance, there didn't seem to be any problems.
After making a windfall, he looked like a nouveau riche. He would not choose the cheap bug car he had before, but rather ordered a mammoth carriage. It was the kind of huge beast that Lin Ke had met on his way to the Imperial Capital. As for the big dark horse, it had long been thrown into the stables by Lin Ke to raise its fat.
The mammoth was very large, so there were rooms on its back and on its sides. On its right side was a wooden staircase that allowed people to walk up the steps and into the room. When it stood still, the mammoth would be as stable as a stone.
Errol did not come with him, because he felt that all he could do was pray to the War God for the third round of exams, and that Harris and Mentor would not be able to get away, and Hubert would not come out of the Institute, so the only people in the line were Link, Cheryl, Lilith, Neil, and Donna, the kitten girl, and Millie, who had come to join in on the fun.
The Temple was located at the side of the Academy of Wargods, and was open to all citizens. It was said that the "Burning Incense" was flourishing, but no one knew what the specific situation was without Hubert's guidance.
After getting off the car, they saw the huge palace not too far away. No one needed to introduce it to everyone to know that it was this palace.
The Temple was extremely tall, and after hearing from the driver that the highest point was at least two hundred meters high, Lin Xin felt that it had to be at least two hundred meters.
When they arrived near the Holy Hall, they discovered that they had been under martial law since a long time ago. They squeezed through the crowd for a long time before finally finding the entrance reserved for the examinees.
"Be devout, Cohen, remember, be devout," Donna repeated the same sentence she had repeated ten thousand times on the way.
Lin Ke helplessly nodded and revealed a smile, waving his hand at her and the cat girl wearing a veil before heading back to the Temple.
Arriving at the small square in front of the Temple, the three of them discovered that there were already seven to eight hundred people gathered there. The three of them arrived at the back of the line and joined the waiting group, and before long, the last few people arrived one after another.
The three of them followed in confusion. They did not know what they had missed before they came.
The outside of the hall looked extremely majestic, but the inside of the hall also felt the same, because Lin Ke suspected that this temple was basically a huge shell. The roof inside the hall seemed to be as tall as the outside of the hall, and the walls were covered with one sculpture after another.
The leading figures began to loudly explain the carvings on the walls one by one, as well as their deeds. For a moment, Link felt as if he had traveled to Earth to visit a historical site, which was extremely strange.
"Everyone, look at the top right. Here, the nearest relief sculpture depicts a tall and strong knight. This is the great Sir Oscar, the Holy Knight who once slaughtered a dragon by himself hundreds of years ago." The "tour guide" pointed to the nearest sculpture, which looked a little new, and introduced it to the crowd.
Actually, everyone knew that those who were able to become Temples were all people who had made outstanding contributions to the War God Empire, but the ones who were truly familiar with the situation were people like the Holy Knight Oskar and the Holy Mage Nobel, who had risen to prominence in the last few hundred years.
This tour lasted for two hours before the 'tour guide' finished introducing all the people to them. Although there were many people who avoided calling themselves' great existences', it made everyone feel drowsy. However, only then did Lin Ke know that the great existence standing at the highest point of the palace hall, a person whose appearance even he could not see clearly, was actually not the Empire's founder, His Majesty Julius. Instead, it was a 'tour guide' who did not dare to directly call out his name and only introduce him as a great character who was the God of Protection of the empire.
The God of Protection of the Empire, such an awesome profession, Lin Ke thought to himself.
After exiting the Temple, everyone gathered in the small square once again.
Everyone was a little dizzy.
At some point, the tour guide had already stepped on a huge golden hexagram and soared into the sky, receiving countless gazes of admiration and admiration.
"Now, everyone please raise your right hand. Those with unique marks on the back of your hand, please come to my side." For some reason, Link always had the feeling that this tour guide's words and actions were very cunning.
Everyone began examining their right hands. Lin Ke discovered that an extremely complex green pattern had appeared on the back of his right hand! He turned his head and looked at Lily and Xue'er, who were beside him, and discovered that the former had a cyan pattern on the back of his hand, but it had a different pattern, while the latter had a blue pattern on the back of his hand! Comparatively speaking, the one on the back of his hand was a bit more complicated.
F * ck, Lin Ke cursed in his heart. He didn't know if this tour guide had passed or not, but it was really scary.
Although they were cursing, the three of them still obediently followed the instructions of the extremely flirtatious tour guide in the sky. Everyone started whispering to each other and realized that about half of the 300-400 people had walked out.
After a long time, the flirty guide in the sky laughed, "All of the people with pictures on their hands have passed the third round of exams. Thirty days later, please bring your luggage to the square in front of the Academy of Wargods to go through the registration formalities." After he finished speaking, his figure instantly shot up into the distance, leaving behind two groups of people, one happy, the other sad, the other crazy, or angry, looking at each other. Just as the conflict was about to break out, two hundred man squadrons of cavalry rushed in and brought the two groups of people to separate themselves at the edge of the square.
On the roof of a building not far away that no one noticed, the previously sneaky tour guide cursed a few times in a bored manner before wobbling away into the distance.
The three of them simultaneously passed the third round and entered the War God Academy!
Only the heavens knew what kind of shock would be created when news of this spread back to the Wind City. It was unprecedented in the history of the Wind City that three people from a family entered the War God Academy in the same year!
In addition to Lin Ke's record of defeating the number one star seed and Lily's record of defeating the number two star seed, the Moutes family couldn't help but feel that it was too much for them not to make a name for themselves this time!
Lin Ke and the other two people met up with Donna and the kitten girl, Merry, and told them that the three of them had been accepted into the school at the same time. Immediately, they burst into laughter once more.
"Hey, Cohen!" A girl's voice came from not too far away.
Lin Ke was stunned. All the girls he knew in the imperial city were here. Who would recognize him? He couldn't help but slightly frown when he looked back.
The girl had already walked up to the five people. It was the green-haired girl who had previously met Link twice, Hilda. "I saw that the three of you were also accepted, so I came here to congratulate you."
The girl's bashful attitude somewhat puzzled Linke, but this didn't prevent him from being as polite as he should. "Thank you, and congratulations on successfully entering War God Academy. We'll be classmates from now on."
Under the astonished gazes of the five of them, she finally mustered up her courage and said, "I came here this time to apologize. The previous two times, I misunderstood you too much, but I didn't know that you were actually here to save her," the girl pointed at the veiled kitten, Melly, causing the latter to hide behind Neil, "I watched your second round as well. You are indeed very strong, you are the strongest one among us this year, you know, what I meant was …"
Of course, he didn't have that interest, although she was also very beautiful, "Alright, I understand what you mean, so you don't have to take it to heart, but it's just some small things. I also apologize for my previous attitude towards you, so now we can be considered classmates and friends, if there's any problems in the future, you can come and find me."
The girl was delighted and surprised at the same time. Then, she realized that it was an extremely foolish thing to tell her uncle Bo Te's secret investigation. The slightly panicked girl quickly waved her hand and was about to explain, but was interrupted by another voice.
"Hilda!" A young man with fair skin and a pair of slightly feminine eyes walked over. Judging from his exquisite clothing and the inconspicuous decorations, he should be a noble's heir. "Why did you come here? Uncle Bo Te and the others are very worried, it's too chaotic here!"
The green-haired Hilda frowned and said in a stiff voice, "It's none of your business, Luther. I'm very familiar with the imperial capital as well. I can't just leave it behind."
Luther was a little bit embarrassed as he shifted his gaze, only now did he notice the existence of Link's group of five. He couldn't help but frown, "Who are they?"
Hilda snorted and said, "They're my friends. Cohen, I'll be leaving first, and I'll play with you guys after the academy. In addition, I'll always treat you guys to a meal to express my apologies."
Lin Ke smiled and nodded, "Alright, we'll welcome you anytime."
Hearing this, Luther, who was listening from the side, was immediately enraged!
