Chapter 23 Initial Test
Mayalie raised her head, and a trace of confusion appeared in her beautiful two-color pupils.
(Stalked? We?)
"That's right."
Yi Ming sat on another bed, looking at Mealley who was lazy and lying on the soft bed. This was the room next to Lita. After signing the contract that was strange and finally turned into ashes in the fire, the two obtained the right to live here. However, it was obvious that the original designers did not expect that a man and a woman would live there, just as the building designers in the 1970s would not have known that there was a thing called air conditioning that would become popular twenty years later. So the layout of the whole room was extremely simple: wardrobe, bed, chair - oh, and windows.
However, the two did not feel very embarrassed. After all, they have been together for a long time. In that dangerous moment, they don’t have to care about the defense between men and women. In order to escape or avoid investigation at any time, sleeping in the same bed or even taking a bath together is already very accustomed to both of them. After all, they have to save time and escape in endless pursuits and have no free pursuit, rather than enjoying any life. So for the two, although they no longer need to live such a life of escape, the habits formed under long-term tension are not so easy to change.
"Yes, I don't know what the other party's purpose is. It may be because we taught that little devil a lesson, or the group of people who killed Mr. Lawrence, and there may be other possibilities... There are too many, I think we'd better pay attention to Lita's safety. If we can't even protect her, then we won't have the face to see Mr. Lawrence."
(Do you think there is someone else who has a relationship with Mr. Merchant? After losing the news about Mr. Merchant, he sent someone to inquire? After all, Mr. Merchant is a traveling businessman. It should be normal for him to meet someone somewhere or someone has close contact with him.)
Mayalie put forward her own conjecture, and this is one of the possibilities Yiming considered.
"Forget it, don't think about those. In short, we have nothing to do except take good care of Lita."
As he said that, Yi Ming stood up and walked to Mealee. The lazy lady didn't move for a moment. Even when Yi Ming leaned over and pressed her hands on the bed beside her, she did not change the expression on her face.
"Put that aside, when will we get married?"
(What do you think?)
Mayalie's expression was a smug smile and she looked at Yi Ming.
(If possible, now too?)
"Since we are unmarried couples, we should at least have a wedding date."
Yiming said in a tone that was obviously joking, but Meyali seemed to have a semi-serious expression.
(Anyway, my body has been entrusted to you. Do whatever you want.)
Meiyali gently placed her right hand on her chest, and a slight redness appeared on her white and flawless cheeks. The long hair spread out seemed to flow gold under the sunlight, and the plump and round curve of her chest was slightly ups and downs, representing the life and vitality of the master. Looking at the eyes of different colors, Yi Ming felt something was wrong for no reason. Could it be that she was joking too much? He wanted to move his eyes away from Meiyali, but was surprised to find that it was so difficult at this moment.
"……I thought you would take the initiative, Miss."
Yi Ming coughed dryly and tried to open up this strange situation.
(Waiting for a man to take the initiative is a woman's reserve and pride. Or is it that I am not so charming that I have to take the initiative to attack you?)
"this…………"
Before Yi Ming could find the right thing to say, suddenly the door was pushed open with a "bang", and then Lita hurriedly ran in.
"Brother Yiming, Sister Meiyali, hurry up, we want to..."
Lita didn't finish her words. When she saw Yi Ming and Mei Yali who was being overwhelmed by Yi Ming on the bed, at least it seemed, her face turned red and she turned around and ran away. It seemed that some misunderstandings or misunderstandings that were not misunderstandings had a suitable and moist soil, and could take root and sprout at any time. Yi Ming sighed helplessly and stood up straight. Of course, he would not deny that Mei Yali was a beautiful girl, but their relationship was not that simple. Friends, they were familiar with each other long ago than their friends, and even the couple in love did not understand each other like this. However, this survival relationship established from the battles and nearly endless escapes that were almost struggling on the line of life and death is extremely strange at this moment. They were once inseparable and relying on each other. So is this the case now? If according to the definition of the ordinary world, what should their relationship be like?
Yi Ming didn't think too much about this matter. After all, they are in another world now, a world where no matter when they fall asleep, there will be soldiers with live ammunition, special forces or helicopters, and other weapons that will attack and kill them indiscriminately.
So he has time to think about this.
Standing in front of the square, Lita's little face was still red. Obviously, the scene just now was really too exciting for a girl. Yiming and Mealie stood on both sides of her, and like the three of them, many people gathered here. But one thing is the same, they are both magic envoys and guardians. In fact, just now Lita received a magic order, asking all magic envoys and guardians who had just signed the contract to come here and conduct a test.
"All you have to do is enter this portal and pass the test."
Ms. William, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, had a cold voice, like the stream of winter. She had a serious expression and held a golden pocket watch in her hand.
"This is a test of the mutual synergy between the Magician and the Contract Guardian. I think you should understand, everyone."
Her eyes did not look at the guardians standing behind, but instead swept the magic envoys in front of her, most of whom were women.
"A messenger who communicates with the Magic Spirit needs to have good judgment. Since you judge that the person who stands behind you and protects you is the one you trust the most. Then, this is an opportunity for testing. If you fail. Sorry, it only means that your judgment is not enough to allow the Magic Spirit to further trust you, and the loser will no longer allow him to continue studying in the academy."
Ms. William's speech caused a lot of commotion, and the expressions of the fledgling magic envoys became obviously nervous and uneasy. They originally thought that the Guardians were just protecting their existence, but now it seems that things are not that simple. This sounds more like a gamble, betting on the judgment of the magic envoys, and what they lost will be an opportunity to study in the top magic academy in the continent.
Everyone hesitated.
(Lita, are you scared?)
Noting that Lita's pale face was a little bit white, Mealli asked with concern. And Yi Ming was looking at the white teleportation array in front of him, as if he wanted to try his best to see something from it.
"Sister Mayalie, I..."
It was obvious that Lita had no confidence, both to them and to herself.
But the lady hasn't finished speaking yet.
"Of course, we are not so unkind. If you don't want to lose your qualifications, you can just terminate the contract with the guardian behind you immediately, then you don't have to take this test."
As soon as Ms. William finished speaking, the originally silent crowd boiled again. Yiming and Mayalie looked at each other and shook their heads. It was obvious that this was a strategy of attacking the heart. If, as she said, this test would not be so simple. And for ordinary people who are more secure, they would naturally choose a way to not participate. But in this way, it means that they would terminate the contract with their guardians. It was not just hiring mercenaries or warriors. According to Lita, the guardians are the closest companions of the magic envoys, not just the human shield used to guard.
This is a dilemma.
Gradually, many people chose to leave. They did not want to leave the academy and had no confidence in themselves. Yi Ming even saw some guardians leaving indignantly after the magic quit, and obviously they would never return to her side. After all, this is a relationship of mutual trust, and if they want to destroy this relationship, it seems too simple now.
(Lita, what is your decision?)
Mayalie and Imin watched Lita, waiting for her decision.
Lita raised her head, but before looking at the eyes of the two people, she lowered her head as if she was electrocuted.
“I…I……………”
"This is your own decision."
Yiming looked at Lita's lowered head and spoke slowly.
"We won't have any comments."
“……………………”
Lita was silent. She slowly raised her head again and then looked at the teleportation array. Her hands were restlessly kneading the corners of her clothes. For a 14-year-old girl, it was too difficult to find a balance between cruel reality and romantic dreams. Moreover, it was a gambling that had been gambled. While waiting for Lita's answer, Yiming looked at the teleportation array in front of her. It was a huge white triangle stone slab, and three people wrapped in white robes were standing in their respective corners, holding a slender staff in their hands, waiting motionlessly. The noise and quarrel around seemed to have nothing to do with them. Yiming looked at the stone slab carefully and felt a strange difference for no reason. Before he could find out where the feeling came from, Lita had raised her head and walked towards the magic teleportation array.
When he arrived in front of the teleportation array, Ms. William looked at Lita in surprise, and then after asking her name, she said seriously to her.
"Lita Kanarot. You just advanced to the Magician last year, yes."
“Yes, ma’am…”
"Don't you think it's too early to take the test now?"
“……………………”
Lita turned around and looked at Yiming, then looked at Meiyali, and then shook her head gently.
"This is the decision I made, Ms. William."
She replied softly, while Ms. William nodded in understanding, and then she raised her glasses again.
"In view of your courage, I want to inform you that Miss Marian Brad participated in this test. Do you still stick to your decision?"
“………………that Brad family?!”
Lita widened her eyes in surprise and asked back with some anxiety. Ms. William nodded calmly.
"Are you sure you want to attend?"
Then Ms. William repeated her question again.
"…………Yes."
After Lita was silent, she nodded.
"Then, I wish you were favored by the magic spirit."
Ms. William smiled bitterly, then moved away from her body and signaled the three of them to stand on the teleportation array. After walking on this thing, Yi Ming's inner uneasiness became stronger and stronger, but he could not show it. After all, he didn't know where this uneasiness came from, but he found that Mayalie seemed to be bothering the same thing. She rarely kept turning the umbrella in her hand, which looked similar to her own feelings.
"Brother, sister, don't worry."
Recognizing their emotional changes, Lita comforted quietly.
"This kind of teleportation array is very safe. I have used it before..."
Before she could finish her words, the magicians standing in the triangle began to sing in a low voice. And Yi Ming felt that his body suddenly seemed to be pulled upward by an invisible big hand and pressed downward. Then, the flawless light wrapped them up and disappeared in the center of the teleportation array.

ps: I didn't expect to encounter a bottleneck so soon. It seems that I really don't have the potential to become a god. At least I have to rest for ten days and half a month before opening a new book... Alas. I was lucky enough to spend it safely, but I just started to save the manuscripts again in the past few days.
ps2: The cover is definitely not my hobby. Everyone knows what kind of wind is blowing now, and the author doesn’t care about the cover upload (tears)
ps3: Continue to ask for votes ~\
