The Evil God Summoned by the Saintess
Chapter 132 - 130: Lord Evil God’s Sinister Intentions
After registering at the door, Hilia entered the interior of the tower.
The inside of the Modest Tower was quite spacious, the entire tower enveloped in runes, with all construction materials being special materials that could carry runes.
Hilia saw an entrance ahead, and once inside, people would quickly fly upwards toward the top of the tower.
"The examination seems to be at the top of the tower..."
Hilia approached the entrance that allowed upward movement, entered after being permitted, felt a surge of magic power envelop her, and then her body uncontrollably soared upwards.
Hilia couldn’t help but feel nervous.
However, thankfully, the process was not long; she arrived at her destination soon enough, avoiding any reaction to a fear of heights.
Just as Hilia entered the exam room at the top of the tower, curiously looking around this place she’d never been to, Rose suddenly said, "This Modest Tower seems to be the Rest Starlight of the Starlight Seven Towers."
"What?" Hilia was taken aback for a moment, then realized, "You mean this tower is the weak point of the entire array?"
"Yes, the weakest point of the Starlight Seven Towers Type Protective Array, and it can be dismantled with a foolproof operation."
Rose paused slightly, his voice devilish, "Come on, Hilia, dismantle the school’s Protective Array."
Hilia was startled and quickly shook her head, "No, no! I can’t do that! I’d be punished!"
Rose chuckled without speaking, merely watching as Hilia walked into the exam room, sat down at her seat, and waited for the proctor to announce the exam topics.
Soon after, the proctor arrived and began explaining the topics.
"The topic of this test is to decipher an array. On the table before you is a basic Starlight Seven-Tower Type array. The faster you break the array, the better your score will be."
"Ah, this..." Hilia widened her eyes.
How could it be breaking a Starlight Seven-Tower Type array?
Hilia carefully looked at the small array that appeared on the table in front of her.
The structure of the array was very simple. Although it belonged to the Starlight Seven-Tower Type, it was nowhere near the level of the school’s Protective Array.
Just like 1+1 is mathematics, proving every even number greater than 2 is the sum of two prime numbers is also mathematics.
Same category, different difficulty.
For the current Hilia, this array was too simple.
Because after Rose had mentioned the Starlight Seven-Tower Type arrays, she had intentionally learned about it from him and gained considerable understanding of this type.
"I have twelve methods to dismantle the array now, which one should I use..."
Hilia looked at the array, which enveloped the entire table, protecting it from external attacks.
Rose chuckled softly, "Use the foolproof cracking method I taught you, dismantle it."
"Should I really use that method?" Hilia looked up towards the tip of the Modest Tower.
"It’s the simplest and most straightforward way, why not use it?"
Hilia thought for a moment, agreed, and used the foolproof cracking method to spread magic power to specific points of the Protective Array.
A minute later.
Bang.
The slight sound of shattering drew the attention of the proctor.
Hilia raised her head and said apologetically, "I’m done."
Originally wanting to be low-key and delay breaking the array according to the situations of other students.
However, this array was so fragile that the foolproof method broke it cleanly just as it formed.
Not only did it break, but it also made a sound, drawing the proctor’s attention.
Thus, Hilia completed the exam in less than three minutes after it started.
The entire exam duration was three hours; taking just one and a half hours would get the highest score...
Hilia could see the proctor looking at her with astonishment.
Not just him; the other students around her, deeply engrossed in thought, were also staring at her in shock.
A three-hour exam, and you finished it in three minutes?
You must be some kind of undercover instructor, right?
The students present were inexperienced, breaking an array in three minutes; they could only think of one possibility—
Breaking it by sheer magical prowess.
It couldn’t possibly have been deciphered, right?
Even the proctor thought it was that method.
He repeatedly confirmed Hilia’s completion time, 3 minutes 31 seconds, paused for a moment, and said to Hilia, "Please wait a moment."
With that, he left the exam room directly.
Soon enough, he came back, bringing someone along.
Hilia recognized the newcomer.
The Holy Court Bishop, Alvis, the highest authority in array knowledge in the entire Holy Court.
He entered with a doubting look, was surprised to see Hilia, then seemed relieved.
He spoke to the proctor, "No need to test further; she didn’t break it by brute force; the exam score is valid."
"Ah?" The proctor was taken aback.
"Just do as I say." Alvis said calmly.
"Yes, Your Excellency Bishop."
After giving the instructions, Alvis came beside Hilia and looked at the broken array.
Unfortunately, the traces of the foolproof method had vanished after dismantling the array, leaving no sign.
Alvis pondered for a moment, "Hilia, come with me."
"Alright."
Hilia got up, followed Alvis out of the exam room, and, through the ’elevator,’ reached the next-level room.
This room looked like a node control center, besides Alvis and Hilia who had entered, there were two school instructors Hilia didn’t recognize, seemingly responsible for array maintenance.
After exchanging greetings with the two, Alvis took out a more complex Starlight Seven Tower Array and said, "Can you quickly dismantle this array with the method you just used?"
Hilia looked at the array model, then at Alvis, and after thinking for a moment, said, "It’s a bit difficult, I was just lucky earlier, having researched that array specifically and found a shortcut."
Alvis seemed skeptical, "You even provided us with the rune to suppress pollution before. Although I don’t believe you handled it, I am willing to give you a chance to prove yourself."
Hilia remained silent.
Then shook her head.
"Sorry, Mr. Alvis, I might disappoint you, but I really can’t break the array model you gave me, apologies.
"Also, the suppression runes I gave you last time weren’t made by me; they were a gift from the God."
Alvis said impatiently, "Don’t say useless things in front of me; whether you can or not, you’ll know after trying. If you can, I’ll take you on as a student and teach you array knowledge specifically; it won’t affect your candidacy for the Holy Daughter. If not, there’s no penalty, only a bit of wasted time at most."
Hilia remained silent while muttering in her heart, "Mr. Alvis’s way of speaking is really uncomfortable; I don’t want to become his student at all..."
Given Alvis’s tone of speaking, Hilia felt she’d end up as a scapegoat if she became his student.
To avoid such a thing, she decided to pretend she couldn’t do it.
Just then, she suddenly received a knowledge transfer from Rose.
Rose’s voice came, "Use this method, similar to the foolproof method but won’t dismantle this array."
There was one more sentence that Rose didn’t mention—
But it will break the school’s array.
