The City Lord's Mansion is much more luxurious than the Viscount's Mansion, Green thought to himself.
There was a huge crowd in the hall, and Green couldn't wait to look inside. He saw a wizard wearing a large gray robe sitting at the highest point of the hall. Just as Mary said, his face seemed to be shrouded in a layer of smoke, making it difficult to see clearly.
There was a transparent crystal ball placed on the table in front of the wizard, emitting a soft light. The entire hall was enveloped in a mysterious atmosphere. A red-eyed frog squatted next to the crystal ball, cooing non-stop.
Is this the magical wizard
Somewhat excited, this was Green's first time seeing the legendary wizard who mastered mysterious magical power. In front of the wizard's crystal ball, a chubby girl with brown hair was touching the crystal ball with her eyes closed and her face nervous. People in the hall held their breath, and there was no sound for a long time. Then Green looked behind the wizard, and there were three children about the same size as himself.
is her
Green was the first to see the girl, who was pouting with a look of reluctance. This girl was the one who discarded the magic book "Hunting Nose Transformation and Scent Atlas" at the Viscount's Mansion last time. Green has known for more than half a year that she is the only daughter of the Lord of Bissel City. She has noble blood and power. She wants to come here. The fat-bellied nobleman back then was the great city lord.
The other two people seemed to be a brother and sister, or siblings. Green couldn't tell them apart, but judging from their almost identical looks, they must be related by blood. The boy's face was full of arrogance. He stood behind the wizard with his head held high. He looked at the people who came to assess the qualifications of the wizard's apprentices with sneers on their faces. They were similar to the guys charging fees at the gate of the city lord's mansion. The girl is a bit shy and probably rarely receives attention from so many people at the same time.
Could it be that they were found to have the qualifications of potential wizard apprentices? Green thought in his mind.
Greene was right. These brothers and sisters were children who had been tested as wizard apprentices by a wizard in a city before Bissel City. They were able to stand out from hundreds of children, and were usually fawned over by the superior nobles. Myself, this really gives people a feeling of soaring into the sky.
The boy's name is Yokeris and the girl's name is Yokelianna. They are from an ordinary Orion family. When both of them were tested to have wizard potential, the usually noble nobles suddenly wanted to fawn over the two of them like dogs, making Yorkis feel like he was the center of the world and the darling of God.
Yorkris looked at the guys rushing to test the wizard's potential with contempt in his eyes.
If he was so qualified as a wizard apprentice, how come there were only his brother and sister and the idiot outside the door in the three cities before? It would be great to have the city lord's daughter in this city, and she got the spot by bribing the wizard.
"Mental strength 6, unqualified, next one." At this moment, the mysterious wizard spoke. At the same time, the chubby girl who was nervously touching the crystal ball turned pale and left at the urging of the people behind her. crystal ball.
"Hey, it's unqualified again."
"Yes, it seems there is no hope for us here."
People who were holding their breath sighed. After a day of qualification testing, except for the daughter of the city lord who was the first to be tested, no one was found to have wizard qualifications. If it weren't for the fact that they had already paid a gold coin, the rest of the people would be almost the same. I gave up long ago.
"Mental strength 5, unqualified, next one." The boy in front of the crystal ball curled his lips helplessly and left dejectedly.
One after another, the people who took the wizard apprentice qualification test left. Gradually, as Green got closer and closer, a sense of despair gradually rose in his heart. It seemed that being a wizard was not so easy. Green knew that the boy in front of him was the son of the owner of Moon Bay Restaurant, named Wade. Moon Bay Restaurant was the most luxurious place in Bissel City, so this guy's family must have countless gold coins.
Wade sat nervously in front of the crystal ball, touched it, and closed his eyes as the crystal ball gradually emitted a soft light.
"Psychic strength 9, no... eh?"
The sharp-eyed Green saw Wade quietly handing the wizard a bag, which contained strange stones, as many as twenty or thirty. The smart Green immediately thought of a possibility, bribery
"Well, mental strength is 10, just stand behind me." The wizard put away the bag and changed his words.
Wade looked excited: "Thank you, Sir." After saying that, he stood behind the wizard excitedly.
Green's face was ugly. He had nothing to bribe the other party with. I believe that this great wizard also looked down upon the only gold coin left in his family, right? Green walked to the crystal ball in confusion, wondering what to do.
"Put your hand on the crystal ball and close your eyes." Following the wizard's words, Green instinctively followed the instructions. For a moment, in Green's senses, the hall seemed quiet, as if the whole world was covered with a big cover. .
"Huh? What's going on?" Green opened his eyes and saw that the people in the hall seemed to be frozen and motionless.
The city lord's daughter was still pouting and crying, but her tears were dripping in the air. Yorkis sneered, revealing two pointed tiger teeth. Green turned around, and the annoying guy at the door who collected the appraisal fee casually threw a knife back in his hand. A gold coin, but the gold coin was frozen in mid-air at this time.
Everyone in the hall seemed to be frozen, frozen in time and space
Um? wrong!
Green noticed that there was a table in the corner of the hall, with plates placed on it. The plates were printed with exquisite patterns. Common people could not afford such luxurious plates.
Inside the plate are exquisite pastries and fruits, which are used by the city lord to be eaten by those who test the wizard's qualifications, but no one will actually eat them, so the decoration is more important than practicality. But at this time, on top of the fruit platter, there were actually two creatures with colorful soft tentacles, and countless eyes densely packed all over their bodies, floating and playing like jellyfish, swaying in the air.
This... this is incredible! What is this
Green could feel his body shaking, and his face must be ugly. Although he had longed for the mysterious wizarding world countless times, but now the wizarding world has just opened the tip of the iceberg to him, but he feels endless unknown and fear. It is a world that is different from the real world that one knows.
Green braved the courage and cautiously walked towards the two strange unknown creatures. However, just as he approached the table, the two creatures seemed to be frightened and swam to the wall. At this time, the wall turned out to be like water waves, with two strange creatures It blends easily into the wall and disappears.
For a moment, Green was stunned by the fact that two strange creatures disappeared into the wall. However, as he was close to the dining table, Green suddenly discovered that in addition to the four normal wax torches on the dining table, there was another wax torch that seemed extremely abnormal. Although there is a burning candle on top of this wax torch, the wax torch itself is not a decoration of noble craftsmanship, but a roasted red pig's head.
Green was a little strange. Why did he think it was normal when he saw the wax torch at the beginning, but when he got closer, he suddenly felt that it was contrary to reality? Strangely, the two eyes of the pig-headed wax torch moved slowly, staring closely at Green, and they locked eyes with Green.
A creepy and eerie atmosphere filled the air.
"Haha! I finally broke through to the highest realm! The sky! The earth! The evil dragon! They can't stop me anymore!" Suddenly, an arrogant laughing voice appeared from this terrifyingly silent world. I wonder if it was... Because Green's thinking and reaction ability had slowed down, although he felt abrupt, he did not feel frightened and looked back towards the place where the sound came from.
It was a biographical novel about a bard that nobles read when they were bored. The theme of the story was about a poor boy falling in love with a noble lady, but was hindered by the other party's family. Then the poor boy worked hard step by step and had countless opportunities, and finally defeated He defeated the most powerful evil dragon in the world, proved himself, and married the one he loved. Overall, it is a cliched and boring story. There are also some illustrations in the novel, which depict the protagonist defeating evil enemies.
"What the hell." Green stammered as he looked at the biographical novel.
A paper figurine was breaking open the book and stood up slowly. The figurine had all the organs of a human and had a lifelike expression. It looked around with an exaggerated expression of surprise.
This little paper man is the illustration of the protagonist of the biographical novel. However, although he is no longer as rough and crude as the illustration in the novel, and has exquisite human expressions, this is only his front face. In essence, he is just a picture. It was a thin piece of paper, and on the back, there were pages printed with text.
"What the hell, where is this? Shouldn't I become a god?" The paper man shouted in panic, looking around blankly. Suddenly, the villain seemed to see Green, and his little face suddenly had a serious expression. He pulled out a paper sword and pointed it at Green: "Who are you? A god from the divine world?"
"Who are you? A god from the divine world? Who are you? A god from the divine world? Who are you?..." Suddenly, the cracks in the floor tiles on the floor of the hall combined into a long crack, and the cracks opened and closed. Like a talking mouth, Green and the motionless nobles in the hall stood on the crack, but they did not fall. As if the crack and the mouth were just an illusion, they repeated the words of the paper man over and over again.
A scarlet tongue emerged from the endless dark crack. The tongue emerged from Green's feet. Green could even clearly see that the tongue was made up of countless tiny snakes squirming together, and it rolled up suddenly. The stunned little man standing on top of the book then disappeared deep into the cracks in the ground amidst a series of screams.
"This is not true..." Green was stunned, trembling on the spot.
Suddenly, the crystal ball on the table seemed to emit a dazzling light. At the same time, Green was pulled to the crystal ball in a daze. The moment his hands touched the crystal ball, the world no longer looked like a frozen picture again, and the sound also stopped. passed into Green's ears.
"Psychic strength 12, not bad, stand behind me." Green raised his head with a pale face, instinctively stood up and stood behind the wizard.
He raised his head and looked around. All the weirdness disappeared. Even the nobleman who was reading the biography did not have any abnormality. There was no pig head wax torch on the table, and the floor was fine. It seemed that everything just now was an illusion, or something. Dreamland.
"Damn it! How lucky is this guy to have wizard qualifications?"
"It's over, it's over. My child once bullied him. Don't come back to take revenge in the future!"
The hall was boiling for a moment, and then became quiet again after the wizard snorted coldly. Wade, the daughter of the city lord and the son of the owner of Moon Bay, who was beside Green, looked at Green in surprise, but when he saw Green dressed as a servant, he looked away with disdain. He opened his mouth and lost the intention to talk.
