Vol 2 Chapter 286: Apprentices

In the outer area of ​​the gray swamp, the pouring rain hit the few short shrubs on the ground. The continuous heavy rain made the muddy gray swamp more slippery and muddy. The purple-black humus soil not only It is muddy and very sticky, and black mud bubbles will appear in those areas where the land is sparse, and the smell after the bubbles burst is extremely annoying.
　　
In such a harsh environment, a group of about three hundred people trudged through the mud with one foot and one foot shallow. The heavy, exhausted breathing was completely covered by the volume of the heavy rain, so the whole team looked very Quiet so silently.
　　
Except for the man who led the team, who was wearing a green robe, all the others were just wearing coarse gray robes. Their boots were exactly the same standard leather boots. Only the clothes under the gray robes had different colors. There are different styles, and the wide-brimmed hood hides the cold, white faces. These people in gray robes are all young teenagers.
　　
　　 Obviously, these young girls who are trekking are a group of apprentices of the truth-thought.
　　
　　 The oldest of them is only about eighteen years old, and the youngest has just reached ten years old. Now these half-year-old children are wading through the mud, and no one complains.
　　
However, neither the gray robes nor the mud-stained leather boots can withstand the erosion of the heavy rain. All the children have been soaked. The loose robes are wrapped around them. The barrage formed by the heavy rain seems to be A drop of rain poured continuously into the gaps in their gray robes.
　　
　　 But no one complained, or... no one dared to complain!
　　
In the middle of the team, a girl with long black hair wetted her teeth gritted her teeth and pulled out the boots trapped in the black mud, but the boots were obviously too big. Instead of pulling out the boots, she took her little feet away. Freed from the boots.
　　
　　 "Anya? Are you okay"?
　　
A little girl next to 　　 noticed the embarrassment of her friend, she hurriedly stopped and greeted with concern while crying.
　　
　　 "It's okay, Jasmine, it's just that the boots fell off."
　　
　　 The girl named Anya bluntly put on a smile to face the girl named Jasmine. She carefully stood on one foot, and then
pulled out
one of her boots from the mud.
　　
　　 The white jade feet trembled slightly in the rain, Anya quickly put on her boots a little shy, and then looked back at her friend.
　　
　　 "Jasmine, hurry up to keep up, otherwise Master Master will get angry again".
　　
　　 Anya reminded Jasmine, who was stopping to rest, in a low voice, and then tried to pull her other foot out of the mud.
　　
　　 The fat boots are very unfit, and the inside of the boots is full of water. Now Anya only feels that her feet are as heavy as being tied to lead blocks. Every time she lifts it up, she has to use her whole body strength.
　　
　　 "Enough, really, I don't want to go anymore, we have been walking for three days in a row, I'm so tired, so I can rest a little bit, as long as I don't fall to the back...".
　　
　　 Jasmine obviously didn't have the same perseverance as Anya, she sat on the dirty ground, and a line of tears flowed down her white face.
　　
　　 However, the other apprentices around her evaded the fallen Jasmine expressionlessly, and no one except Anya even glanced at the crying girl.
　　
　　 Three days ago, many of these apprentices, like Jasmine, often fell on the ground, crying and even complaining. After all, these apprentices had not yet reached the threshold of a professional at this time. They were still just a group of ordinary children.
　　
However, after the often morbidly laughing mage led the team with cruel methods to kill the five or six apprentices at the end, no one dared to complain anymore. Even the children clearly realized that it was decided now. The mage of his own destiny is a demon who kills without blinking. The best choice is to speed up as much as possible and not to fall behind.
　　
But Anya definitely can’t ignore her friend’s collapse. She knows that Jasmine’s mental state is very bad now. This journey has lasted for two weeks. Everyone has been on the road without stopping, and the period is only very brief. The rest and simple food, the most important thing is-no one knows when it will arrive at the destination.
　　
In this arduous trek, children like Xiang Anya who lived in poor families and often endured hardship since childhood were better, and many of those children living in wealthy or even noble families could not bear the invisible end." "Travel" is not willing to go on.
　　
However, the end of those who gave up halfway was very miserable... The Master who led everyone was obviously a somewhat abnormal neuropathy, and the only end for all those who dared to complain in the entire team was to be plucked by the abnormal wizard alive. dead.
　　
Anya doesn’t want her friend to end up as well. Although Jasmine is a girl from a merchant family, she doesn’t have any eldest lady’s stinking problems and is extremely enthusiastic towards Anya, so Yuqing and Li Anya must help her named Jasmine. Handful of little girl.
　　
　　 tried to move the boots full of water, Anya half-forced up Jasmine who was sitting on the ground under the heavy rain. She carefully took out half an apple and handed it to the girl in front of her, and then said seriously:
　　
"Get up quickly, don’t give up, don’t forget that we are going to be professionals, remember those powerful professionals, they will never be bullied by anyone, because they can destroy a city alone, we are I came here for a strong like in the city"!
　　
　　 Anya said firmly to Jasmine, this is her encouragement to Jasmine and her own determination.
　　
　　 But Jasmine did not take the apple that Anya handed over. She stood up staggeringly, and wiped the rain and tears on her face vigorously:
　　
　　 "But... But, Anya, I don't want to be a professional, I want to go home..."
　　
　　 Mentioned the word "home", and Jasmine looked even more sad.
　　
Now Anya doesn’t know how to comfort her friends~EbookFREE.me~ She is only a sixteen-year-old girl, although she is willing to make all efforts to become a strong, but, Many people in this apprentice team were forced to leave the family and embark on a journey after being tested for their talents. For these young girls, the opportunity many people dream of like "becoming an apprentice" is a hopeless disaster. .
　　
　　 Anya has no way to comfort Jasmine. She can only tighten Jasmine's robe to prevent cold wind from pouring into the robe as much as possible.
　　
　　 But the heavy rain showed no signs of stopping, and the howling cold wind made the rain slap everyone's face fiercely.
　　
Fortunately, when the heavy rain was getting heavier, the sound from the rain curtain gave everyone in the team new hope-it was a short sentence from the front of the team, using magic The spell expands to the extent that everyone can hear it.
　　
　　 Anya clearly remembered that it was the voice of the Master Mage who led the team.
　　
　　 "All the apprentices hurry up to keep up, line up immediately, and prepare to start the identity check immediately, the thinking of truth has arrived"! )!!
