The Immortal's Wine Store Chapter 276

"Is there anyone else who has questions?" Theia moved her gaze through the crowd and she smirked coldly in her heart when she saw that no one dared to ask anymore.
A few applicants wanted to raise their hands, but when that pair of cold gaze swept through them, their bodies instantly went cold, making them halt their movements. This woman is so scary! Everyone thought in their hearts.
"Since you don't have any questions, all of you can line up according to the sequence that I'm going to show you." Theia said as she waved her hand.
A large screen emerged in front of the crowd and they saw a list of their names from the top scorer of the second assessment down to the last person. From the looks of it, the sequence was according to everyone's final results in the second assessment.
Everyone followed Theia's instructions without making a fuss. They lined themselves in front of the Mirror of Truth and Deceit. The applicants were curious as to what this thing was capable of doing.
"Dante Silveria, you may step inside the Mirror of Truth and Deceit." Theia said expressionlessly.
Since the prince was the one who got the top score during the second assessment, he was also the first one to step inside the Mirror of Truth and Deceit.
Prince Dante nodded his head at Theia when he heard his name being called.
Under the curious gazes of everyone, the prince walked towards the door-like object while hiding the rising tension in his heart.
As the prince went closer to the Mirror of Truth and Deceit, he saw that the space within this thing was rippling like water.
'This thing won't kill me, right?' He nervously muttered in his heart.

At this moment, the prince was only a few steps away from the Mirror of Truth and Deceit. The nervousness he was feeling was becoming heavier and he could already hear the violent beating of his heart.
"What do you guys think would happen to him once he steps inside that thing?" Somebody silently raised a question.
The crowd pondered, but they had no idea what the answer was, so they just remained silent as they watched the prince as he slowly walked.
Prince Dante inhaled and exhaled deeply before he took the last step towards the 'door'. And to everyone's surprise, nothing noteworthy happened to him. He just passed through the Mirror of Truth and Deceit as if he was just walking towards a normal door.
The only thing that everyone saw was the rippling of space within the door when the prince stepped inside. Other than that, there was truly nothing else to see.
"What? What happened?" Someone asked in shock.
"Look! Look at his face!" Somebody pointed out.
Everyone immediately turned their gazes back to the prince and they saw that he was now sweating heavily.
Just what had he experienced that even as the top scorer, he actually revealed that kind of reaction? Thinking about this, the remaining applicants became even more nervous.
"Brother, just what did you see behind that door?" Someone asked the prince.
Prince Dante glanced at the guy with a blank look and replied in a slightly shaky voice. "I cannot speak about it."
He then turned around and left after saying those words.
The crowd was silent at his reply.
"Next person. Go inside." Theia's cold voice awakened them.
The remaining applicants stepped inside the Mirror of Truth and Deceit. Everyone who had gone through that door would always have the same weird and fearful look.

Suddenly.
"I can't get inside?! What's happening?!" An applicant exclaimed nervously. He tried stepping inside the Mirror of Truth and Deceit, but he could not even take another step forward. It was as if an invisible wall was blocking his path.
Hearing this, Theia glanced at the applicant with a cold look.
Everyone could sense the killing intent emitted from that gaze. However, they were all astonished about this. Why would she reveal that kind of killing intent towards an applicant when he merely failed to pass through the Mirror of Truth and Deceit?
"You, stand behind me." Theia pointed at the guy.
The man nervously nodded his head before he walked behind Theia.
What was happening? Did the man pass the assessment while the rest of them failed? No one was certain...
The assessment continued and a few other applicants failed to pass through the door. There were fourteen of them in total. It was just a small amount from the hundreds who passed the second assessment.
"Those who managed to pass through the Mirror of Truth and Deceit, you may stay here and wait for further instructions. As for the people behind me, follow me to meet my master!" Theia said in a neutral tone.
"What?! How lucky! Did they pass the third assessment?"
"They actually have the chance to meet the legendary Sect Master Jiu..."
"I envy them..."
The fourteen people behind Theia were initially feeling nervous, but when they heard that they could meet with the renowned Sect Master Jiu Shen. All their worries vanished and their faces lit up in excitement.
Theia snorted in her heart when she saw everyone's reaction. She then brought the fourteen people to Jiu Shen's room.
Prince Dante knitted his eyebrows as he looked at those people. He knew nothing about them, and he was curious as to what was waiting for them.
"Brother, did we fail the exam? Why did Elder Theia bring those guys away?" Princess Sylvia asked worriedly.
Prince Dante smiled at his sister and patted her head. "Don't worry. I think we are the ones who passed this assessment."
Princess Sylvia's eyes lit up when she heard his words. "Really?"
"Of course!" The prince nodded his head with great certainty.
"You sensed the killing intent earlier, right? I think there is something wrong with those people and that was why they were rejected by the Mirror of Truth and Deceit. Furthermore, I already have a few guesses about what this thing is capable of doing." Prince Dante added in a calm tone.
