Chapter 266: Challenges and Opportunities
“Oh my god! It’s an invitation letter from the Templar Knights!” Klein exclaimed, his face full of disbelief.
How rare was an invitation letter from the Templar Knights! They were actually able to get an invitation letter from the inner circle of the Templar Knights.
“Congratulations on making an exception and entering.” The Elder walked down from his superior position and looked at the people with a gentle gaze. These people were all good children with talent and hard work.
He believed that they would be able to pass the test of the Knights.
Kate was also in disbelief. Did the Knights take a fancy to them through this snow mountain event?
On the other hand, Audrey appeared particularly out of place among the excited crowd. There was no disbelief on her face, nor was there any excitement. There was only calmness.
Such a bearing was very rare at such an age.
Audrey was shocked that the Knights had actually given them an invitation letter. However, this must be an exception, right!?
She guessed that since it was an exception, there must be a condition to complete it.
“However, let me make it clear in advance. There’s also a devil’s training and test inside. We won’t interfere with the test. It’s up to us whether we live or die after we enter,” the Elder said in an unfathomable manner, a pair of turbid eyes were now staring at the juniors in front of them with clarity.
“Under such conditions, are you still willing to join us?” The Elder reached out to touch the beard on his chin.
Upon hearing this, hesitation flashed across the faces of the few of them.
The elder had lived for so long, so he could naturally see the hesitation on everyone’s faces. Thus, he continued, “I will not interfere. Think it over carefully and let me know when you have thought it through.”
With that, the Elder strode back to his chair and sat down. His eyes were half-closed as if he was taking a break.
Adrian looked at the few invitations lying in the box. They were too tempting.
He turned to look at Klein and Cole. “What about you two?”
“Us?” Klein and Cole asked in unison.
Then, their gazes fell on Audrey, as if they were waiting for her to make a decision.
Audrey looked at Kate. He was still a little tempted, which was why he was like this.
“I’m a little hesitant,” Kate said.
Everyone had a rough idea in their minds. They had basically decided to join the Knights.
“Kate, don’t you want to join us?” Audrey looked at Kate and asked.
Her azure eyes stared at him. Kate could clearly hear his accelerating heartbeat, as if there was a deer constantly bumping against each other.
“Kate, you have to think carefully. This is a rare opportunity,” Hobart said as he stood in front of Kate.
He still hoped that Kate could join the Knights with them, but Kate hesitated now.
Hearing this, Kate began to waver. It seemed that joining the Knights with them was not a bad thing.
“Okay, I want to go down this path with everyone.” A brilliant smile appeared on Kate’s face.
“Elder, we’ve discussed it.” Audrey struck while the iron was hot and called out to the Elder who was sitting in the upper position.
“Well, what do you think?” He asked.
“We’re all willing to join the Knights,” Audrey said, her eyes filled with determination. She was very happy to be able to go down with everyone.
“Alright, then everyone sign your names on the invitation. After that, you can go back and make your preparations. The test will begin in a week,” said the Elder. After saying that, he turned around and left.
He was old now, and it was easy for him to get tired.
After returning, Audrey prepared well. Time flew by, and a week would soon pass.
A few days later, in the morning, the warm yellow sunlight shone on the bodies of a few people, as if it was a layer of golden halo for a few hot-blooded youths and girls.
Kate stood beside Audrey absent-mindedly.
He was very nervous. He was the weakest among the six of them. Would he really be able to pass the devil training this time?
He was restless and hesitant.
“Welcome to the devil training trial. After you pass the devil training and trial, you will become a member of the Knights. I hope that everything will go smoothly. This time, you will be acting alone and will be able to fully test all of you.”
The elder tapped the ground lightly with his walking stick, and soon, a green light enveloped them.
“This is your mission this time. I hope that you can return and join the Knights as soon as possible. Good luck to all of you.” The Elder turned the walking stick in his hand, and the green light disappeared.
After the Elder left, everyone noticed that Kate, who was usually very active, was acting strangely. He had not said a word, so something must have happened.
“Kate, what’s wrong?” Audrey turned her head. It had not been a week yet. This time, the Elders had summoned them to talk about their respective missions so that everyone could get ready.
Klein and Hobart were also worried. They looked at Kate worriedly.
“What’s wrong with you? If you have any difficulties, tell us. We’ll solve them together,” Audrey said. Her gentle words made Kate let go of the shame in his heart.
“I’m worried that I won’t be able to complete the mission. This time, I’ll be facing it alone,” Kate said with a depressed expression.
