Magic Apprentice

Chapter 37: Coming of age ceremony

Views:

Cooperating with the three battle priests did not make Enleco feel comfortable in a sense. The attitude of those battle priests towards him had never improved, but judging from the research results, such an assistant was quite suitable. .

Enleco did not expect, the three clergymen did not expect, Bertina and the believers of the goddess did not expect that the powerful sacred magic of these battle mages could actually be quite effective in cooperating with the magic circle invented by Enleco , although the holy water created is still slightly inferior to the one made by Bertina in terms of efficacy, it is indeed the holy water of life that can heal injuries.

However, although the Holy Water of Life can be produced, it does not mean that Enleco's method is completely successful, because except for the three combat priests, few people can do the same. Enleco once brought some other high-level personnel of the church to Please come to help with the experiment. Among these people, only the two bishops and vice-presidents can produce holy water that is thin but barely usable. The effects of the others are no different from those of the first two believers of the goddess.

But using this method to prepare "holy water of life" is not a very good solution. You must know that battle priests are also very rare special figures among the believers of the God of War, and those who have reached the level of the two bishops The ratio of clergy is not too high. If we only use this method, it would be more effective to train a group of middle- and lower-level priests.

Therefore, in order to put this method into practical use, Enleco once again immersed himself in magic research. However, this experiment after all proved the feasibility of "holy water production". Although Bertina felt a little disappointed about this, and although the goddess believers did not welcome this result, the Church of Stryer County and even the upper class noble circle of Stryer County did not accept the news. Rather rejoicing.

Because of this, the church and the nobles sent Enleco signals of their willingness to help through various channels. Of course, Enleco has no time and energy to deal with these matters. Enleco leaves all these matters to his father. He has complete trust in his father.

In fact, Dad has become Enleco's agent in handling Rui's affairs. Enleco no longer handles all matters personally. It can even be said that everyone often does not see Enleco for several days in a row. , he always hides in his room to conduct his experiments. If there is any problem, he can only ask his father to solve it. And for those banquets where the imperial envoy is invited to attend, he also asks his father to do it for him, and no one has any idea about such an arrangement. Dissatisfied, those nobles certainly hope that the imperial envoy can complete the research on "holy water preparation" as soon as possible. They have become increasingly intolerable that those worthless civilians can actually use holy water first. This situation is absolutely unacceptable to the nobles. Acceptable, but before solving the "Holy Water Preparation" method, the "Holy Lady" lady is someone who can never afford to offend, because only the holy water she creates has the miraculous effect of restoring youth. The three combat priests said The prepared holy water is much less effective in this regard. And for some unknown reason, these battle priests who didn't buy it turned out to be very intimate with the saint. This made the nobles think about it and couldn't figure it out. Originally, they planned to start from this. The three battle priests obtained the holy water they had created, but they did not expect that they would hand over the power of distributing the "holy water" to the young lady. This surprised the nobles, and those three stubborn guys were the bishops. There is no way to command people who can move.

And Bertina herself has no interest in socializing with those nobles. She is now fully devoted to the sacred cause of saving the world. Bertina is really satisfied with her current life. What's more, in her ears, those believers of the Goddess of Life kept saying how dirty and despicable those noble banquets were. They were completely sucking the blood and sweat of the poor people. This was one of the reasons why Bertina was disgusted with these banquets. . The reason why those goddess believers said this was because they did not want to make the same mistake again. At a banquet, that hateful pervert saw their beloved "saint" lady. What happened next? All the older generation of goddess believers were heartbroken. Therefore, although the "saint girl" was now supported by the imperial envoy and the forbidden spell mage, they were still cautious, lest they lose a "saint girl" again.

The three combat priests, who have completely different views on many things from the goddess believers, have no different views on the noble banquet than the goddess believers. These combat priests and the goddess believers get along quite well. Of course, this is entirely due to the teachings of the goddess. Forbearance is one of the fundamental teachings so that followers of these two gods do not come into conflict. What's more, although they have completely opposite views on many things, most of these involve different basic doctrines of the two sects. Although both sides maintain a disapproving attitude towards the teachings of the other sect, they will not have conflicts because of this. Apart from the disagreements caused by different doctrines, the two are surprisingly consistent in their views on other matters. First, they both believe that Bertina is indeed a "saint" who is qualified to be called one. "Female" cleric (they had already identified Bertina as a clergyman and turned a blind eye to the fact that Bertina was a water magician). Secondly, the imperial envoy is a guy who has no faith in blasphemy. Although the two sides have completely different views on the aspects of Enleco's blasphemy, they do not like Enleco.

And because Enleco has not found an effective way to prepare holy water for the time being, the combat priests have nothing to do for the time being. These people who have nothing to do watch the volunteers practicing marksmanship very interestingly, and from time to time they get Also, how can a priest who serves the God of War not know how to fight? What's more, they are still combat priests, so after a few days, those volunteers have quite a good impression of combat priests, because although these priests are quite strict on the surface and have a bad temper, they are very serious in teaching and are measured in their attacks. His performance was quite good, and he always pointed out his shortcomings patiently after every sparring session. Compared with the imperial envoy who always threw himself dizzy and made himself look for the correct answer after countless failures, those three A grumpy battle priest who always likes to scold people is much more adorable.

The three combat priests who saw Bertina and the goddess believers promoting their doctrines among the patients couldn't help but feel jealous. Unwilling to be left alone, these three people also began to develop their own followers. The people of Ka'aoqi are tough and advocating force. Even among the people, compared to the Goddess of Life who emphasizes tolerance and the God of Wisdom whose teachings are unclear, the God of War is more to everyone's taste. However, the God of War's sect has always been rarely seen in ordinary people. It’s just that believers are developing among the common people.

These three battle mages began to spread the teachings of the God of War among the public, and suddenly attracted people who originally believed in the teachings of the Goddess and the God of Wisdom. Although this made Bertina and the goddess believers feel a little disappointed, they still had a deep understanding of God's teachings. Belief is everyone's right. Others can only persuade but not forcibly stop it, so they have no dissatisfaction. It’s just that everyone has more purchasing power when preaching.

Because of this, none of these people had the time and energy to attend those noble banquets. During this time, Xiaoyun and the hotel owner were busy with "mutual assistance" and the construction of the new hospital.

Although Dad has pointed out the general operation method, although Dad has given detailed design drawings, many things still have to be explored repeatedly. You must know that "mutual assistance" is a new thing, and no one has ever done it before. No one could tell what it would be like, and Enleco suggested that no one had ever done the same project before in the super hospital that his father was responsible for designing.

※※※

The construction of the hospital that Mr. Principal is responsible for is relatively easy, because behind him, there are two bosses secretly supporting him. Whenever he doesn't understand something and his father can't or doesn't have time to solve it, He would seek help from his bosses, and the two bosses were also very interested in the construction of this hospital, because with their extremely keen business sense, they could tell at a glance that once the hospital was successfully built, it would definitely It will cause a sensation. The peculiar idea and exquisite design will undoubtedly become the standard building structure of fashion in the future. Seeing this sketch, the two businessmen secretly admired this exquisite design. In order to make this design perfect, They recruited their most outstanding craftsmen and architects, and after days and nights of hard work, a detailed and thoughtful design drawing was placed in front of the hotel owner. Of course, those architects and craftsmen did not gain anything. They extracted many unique designs from this drawing. These designs can be used in their future works, and as experts in architecture, they are more The two bosses were more able to see the value of this sketch.

And with the detailed drawings in hand, the next thing became quite easy. Finding workers, getting materials, measuring the land, and breaking ground for construction all took no effort at all. The hotel owner was very proud now, because the hospital he built was not only in It is extremely influential among the common people in Chengdaville City, and is also valued by the nobles. What's more, this is a hospital designed by the famous forbidden curse mage, the Imperial Envoy, and the noble building hastily built near the city center. The considerable profits gained by the hospital also amazed everyone. Coupled with the miraculous effects of the holy water, the construction of this hospital became the most eye-catching project in Chengdaville City. During the construction process, the workers took the There is an endless stream of people coming to visit with materials, and many of these people, it is quite difficult for them to even meet in person, but now it is quite a big thing for them to accept the people and things they bring. The matter of giving face made the man in charge feel a little overwhelmed.

Compared with the progress of the hospital project, Xiaoyun's gains are also not small, because Xiaoyun has also experienced the painful time of being unable to ask for help, so she knows very well what kind of help those in need need most. In fact, most people who are stuck at the bottom of life often fall into a disgusting cycle of life just for some small reasons. After all, there are only a few families that have suffered a major blow like hers.

Many of the people living in the slums were originally ordinary people with a guaranteed life. A considerable number of these people were craftsmen with skilled skills. In Chengdaville City, and even in the entire Strayer County, most people are Those engaged in businesses related to local minerals, among which miners are the only profession that does not require skills and funds, because you can mine if you have the strength, and the boss of the mine will give you tools, so you do not need to bring your own tools. However, mining is a dangerous job with little income, so only those who have no other options will choose this profession. In addition to mining, whether it is steel casting or sword making, it is impossible without certain skills. Like other places, Stryer County's tax revenue is relatively medium. In addition, the land in Stryer County is rich in heavy metals, so farming is not easy. A large amount of grain must be imported from neighboring counties every year, and after passing through many checkpoints, the grain transported to Darville City The price of housing has increased exponentially, so the daily burden of living in Chengdaville is quite heavy.

And no one can be sure that he will not feel unwell, because most of the businesses in Strayer County involve physical labor, so once he gets sick, his livelihood becomes a problem. Because of this, a temporary illness is likely to put the family in trouble. The situation is poverty-stricken, and Stryer County is too dependent on heavy industry, so women and children cannot find profitable jobs at all, but it is absolutely impossible to default on the monthly taxes.

Xiaoyun, who knew the reason, had already thought of countermeasures. Of course, these ideas were not something that a child like her could come up with. This was all thanks to her disabled father. In order to repay the imperial envoy, Xiaoyun's The whole family set out together. Xiaoyun's father was responsible for contacting the miners, while Xiaoyun's mother traveled among the businessmen and bosses in Chengdaville City. During that month of busy life, Xiaoyun's mother got to know many people, and because Xiaoyun Because of Yun's relationship, or more precisely because of the Imperial Envoy's relationship, Xiaoyun's mother's status is now different. In addition, Xiaoyun's mother has developed social skills during those busy years, so she quickly obtained What she needs, and Xiaoyun herself is responsible for the contact with her father. After all, parents would not be relieved to let their daughter do such a big thing. With the efforts of Xiaoyun's family, a " The society of "mutual aid and mutual help" was finally established. Although the rules of the society are not yet complete, they are beginning to take shape. There is only one sentence in the articles of association of the entire society: "Let's help each other and overcome difficulties together." Everyone who joins the club reports what they need most urgently at present. Of course, this need is relative to each person's livelihood, and additional requests will not be accepted. And each club member can respond to his or her own situation and take out what they don't need temporarily, or don't need at all, or what they can produce to meet their needs. In this way, everyone gets what they need, and for those who only want to get but don't want to give, the association stipulates that within a time limit, these people must pay money or labor to those who have provided help, otherwise they will be expelled from the association.

And those members of the society who have made special contributions can receive additional rewards, such as being able to qualify their children to accept the guidance of the imperial envoy to become excellent warriors or even magicians. Xiaoyun learned about this through Enleco approved. And getting the advice from the Imperial Envoy has undoubtedly become a shortcut for those Kaoqi people to get ahead quickly. Because of this, the establishment and operation of the association went very smoothly, and this association also brought another benefit, that is, women in the families participating in the association can also find a job, and some women can do laundry work. This It is indeed a good job for women who have a lot of free time, while other women can cultivate a small piece of wasteland on the wasteland outside the city and grow some easy-to-live vegetables and fruits. Of course, they can also be used to raise some Poultry and livestock. Regardless of such a small piece of land, Xiaoyun's father had calculated that it would make the family's life much easier.

Most people are quite willing to accept this arrangement, so in a short period of time, the size of the association has grown rapidly.

When everyone was rejoicing, there was only one person with a sad face, and that was Enleco. Enleco had never found a solution to the "preparation of holy water", although the preparation method was absolutely no problem, although in theory, It is said that as long as there is a sufficient amount of sacred magic, "holy water of life" can be produced. Although with the help of magic circles, any clergy can integrate sacred magic into water, the efficiency of production is still a problem, a major problem.

In recent experiments, Enleco has found the problem of low melting efficiency of sacred magic. Before this, the water he used was ordinary water, unlike Bertina who always gathered the required water elements from the air. , so the activity of the water element is not enough in the first place. In addition, the magic invented by Chris has a special method to further enhance the overall vitality of the water elements that are already very active. Therefore, this kind of water Able to dissolve sacred magic with a much higher concentration than ordinary water.

Enleco, who knew the reason, could certainly solve the problem, but maintaining such a complex water magic array was not something an ordinary magician could do. Enleco deeply felt that he seemed to be trapped in a strange circle. Every time he tried to popularize "holy water preparation", the methods he invented always made the preparation of "holy water" even more difficult. Degree. This is not my original intention.

Enleco fell into confusion, and he encountered a real problem - he didn't know when, he was no longer the magic apprentice who couldn't use magic at all, but his method of using magic was not something ordinary people could master. This is just like my current situation. My life has changed and I can no longer be my original self, but my new identity is extremely strange.

※※※

Enleco's understanding of himself not only failed to solve the problem for him, but also made him feel at a loss. With such knowledge, Enleco knew that most of the solutions he was considering could be achieved by ordinary people and even ordinary magicians. Because the magic theories and magic systems that apply to you are simply not something ordinary people can master. And I, who have long been accustomed to thinking with this kind of magic concept, have no idea how ordinary people would view those things. And what he has been pursuing is a magic theory that ordinary people can use and understand.

Thinking of this, Enleco felt powerless. Maybe the production of "holy water" was just wishful thinking on his part. Maybe he is too immature as a magician, and maybe his strength is too far behind his teacher Chris. If he wants to imitate his teacher's "work", it is simply an act of overestimating his own capabilities. Maybe "holy water" is really a sacred gift given to Bertina by the goddess of life, which ordinary people cannot get their hands on. Maybe having signed a contract with the devil, I am simply not qualified to get involved in such a sacred cause...

Just when Enleco was thinking wildly, he accidentally mentioned the monster Most. Most, who had nothing to do, was originally bored. Since that celebration, nothing interesting happened for a long time. Now, Most, who has nothing to do, really wants to know what the contractor is doing now. Because he signed a soul contract with Enleco, the memory possessed by Enleco will inevitably become Most Something that could be flipped through at any time, so Most quickly caught up with everything that had happened lately.

Of course, these things will never arouse Most's interest, but compared to the current situation of doing nothing, it is also a good idea to have some fun. Besides, from Enleco's memory, Most found some things that can be used Things, isn’t that little girl who is good at sacred magic preaching? Most is no stranger to preaching. The interesting behavior of preaching is the most effective method of controlling thinking invented by mankind. Although Most did not invent this method, Most is very fond of this interesting method. With this method, as long as the right agent is found, and in the initial stage, some miracles that shock those humans can be displayed. , then the way of thinking of these people can be easily controlled by themselves.

Thinking of this, Most came out of the mysterious devil world. He first said hello to Enleco, slightly touched Enleco's heartstrings, and then slowly like a whole smoke, it came over Enleco. Appeared in front of.

Enleco didn't understand at all, what was this guy doing out here? For this guy who lives in the depths of his soul, Enleco can't say he has any good feelings, and of course he doesn't hate him. This guy has helped him a lot, but he has also put himself in an incomparable dilemma. , this guy's strength is not that great, but he is obviously not as useless as Chris said. But one thing Enleco knew very well was that this guy had bad conduct and was worthy of being a member of the devil. However, his wealth of knowledge was unmatched by anyone in the world. There are many problems that cannot be solved in the eyes of others, but they are not problems at all in its eyes.

And this guy didn't show up earlier or later, and running out at this time must be related to the problem he is facing now, and this guy must have a clear answer, but Enleco also knows that this monster will definitely not It should be impossible to tell yourself the answer in vain without a quid pro quo.

Enleco looked at Most quietly without saying a word. He knew that since the monster took the initiative to appear in front of him, it would definitely tell him its purpose.

Sure enough, Most said: "Hey, long time no see. You seem to be in trouble now. Do you want my help?"

Seeing Enleco's lack of reaction, Most continued: "Actually, that kind of thing is easy to make. It only requires a little skill." "Are there any conditions?" Enleco asked directly. "Hehehe, I knew you would say that, but I don't ask you every time. Besides, I helped you that time, but you can do what you promised to help me do. Reached?"

Hearing this, Enleco felt a little embarrassed. He did not do what the monster asked him to do. But this does not mean that Most will have any good intentions to spare him. The preparation of "holy water" this time is obviously not something that this kind of monster is willing to help. How can a monster be connected with sacred magic? Get up

However, Enleco really wanted to hear what Most had to say. After all, he was already confident that he could distinguish right from wrong and would not let this monster lead him by the nose. If the plan proposed by Most was something evil, He can completely reject it, and after the previous experience of breaking his promise with it, Enleco is not worried about this monster Most.

Of course, Enleco didn't know what he was thinking in his mind. This monster knew everything. Enleco's contempt for him made this monster hate it. However, how could it show its cunningness? Therefore, on the surface, it He is still calm, but he has secretly made up his mind to make this ungrateful boy live in hellish pain for the rest of his life. Of course, with the boy's current situation, there are obviously many opportunities.

Enleco didn't know that he had greatly offended a person he could not afford, and that person had already begun to plot against him. Enleco was still curious enough to listen to Most's suggestion.

To be honest, Most's suggestion did surprise Enleco. Most did not tell Enleco how to make "holy water". That kind of thing is indeed beyond the scope of this evil monster's knowledge, but Most did not tell Enleco how to make "holy water". Enleco was taught a very profound knowledge. This knowledge also falls within the scope of the magic circle, but it is obviously much more profound than the magic circle. This knowledge teaches how to use special substances and coordinate them with substances. The original natural properties are refined and sublimated, and special small magic arrays are embedded, so that these substances have extremely wonderful special effects. The magic arrays created using this method not only have excellent effects, but also refine and process the In the process of material processing, some special functions can also be preset, such as greatly simplifying the difficulty of meditation and the way of manipulating magic, or mixing several different substances to form one thing, so that each substance can Play their due roles independently without interfering with each other.

In the end, Most told Enleco that although it did not know how to prepare "holy water", it could achieve the desired effect by using blue crystals that are inherently water-based and a sun stone that stores sacred magical energy. Coupled with the needle gold that can amplify the effect of the sacred magic and the quartz sand that has been washed by the river for many years and settled on the bottom of the river, the effect should be even more obvious. After saying this, the monster Most suddenly appeared in front of Enleco. Disappeared.

Enleco repeatedly thought about the plan proposed by Most. His mind was already intoxicated by the wonderful knowledge taught by Most, not to mention that so far, Enleco has not seen it. There is no indication that the knowledge imparted by that monster would be harmful to people.

Encouraged by his strong desire for knowledge, Enleco decided to start research immediately. Enleco was not worried at all about obtaining experimental items. Whether it was blue crystal or sun stone, they were all very commonly used magic raw materials. Chengda There should be quite sufficient reserves in the Weir City Magic Association, and needle gold and quartz sand are common minerals everywhere. If you have the manpower, it will be easier to get these two things.

Thinking of this, Enleco acted immediately. He first called the hotel manager. In fact, because the construction site was right behind the hotel, and the entire construction site could be seen from the hotel, at the same time, the manager still had many chores that he needed to handle. After all, neither Dad nor Bertina is as familiar with the city of Chengdaville as the hotel owner, so the place where the manager works is still his small office, so Enleco greets him, and the manager comes coming.

Enleco asked the principal to help prepare the two materials: needle gold and quartz sand. Of course, Enleco repeatedly gave instructions on the materials and requirements for quartz sand. After giving these instructions, the young trial student went to the county guard alone. Because he was not visiting the county governor, Enleco did not take a carriage. When he arrived at the county governor's house, Enleco realized that sometimes a carriage could also represent a pass. If he did not take a carriage, Those guards would never believe a child's words.

※※※

The helpless young magic apprentice trainee had no choice but to turn around and plan to ask the coachman Kaz to drive the carriage over again after returning to the hotel. Just as he walked to the corner in front of the Governor's Palace, a carriage crossed from the side. , Enleco was finally agile and dodged to the side to avoid the danger, but his clothes were caught by the carriage's shaft! It was broken, and even the right arm was scratched, and blood flowed from the wound.

The owner of that carriage must be a person of considerable status here, so the driver of the carriage looked arrogant. Not only did he not apologize for hitting someone, but he kept cursing.

Enleco never cared about this kind of guy who bullies others. Just when he was about to leave, he didn't expect that the owner sitting in the carriage stopped the coachman's yelling and cursed, and then opened the window of the carriage. As they drove up, a girl who was obviously a maid stuck her head out of the window. She glanced at the wound on Enleco's arm and said, "Sir, I'm sorry for hurting you. If you don't mind, please come up." Carriage, we can find a doctor for your treatment."

Enleco would never refuse a kind invitation from others, so he thanked him, opened the door, and got into the carriage. There were three women sitting in the carriage, and the one sitting by the window was the one just now. There is a maid, and the other two sitting there are ladies in their middle years.

Because of the blessing of being dressed in women's clothing, Enleco had had very deep contact with these ladies of the upper-class aristocracy for a while, so Enleco could easily learn about these ladies from their clothes, behavior and conversation. The lady's status in the aristocratic society, the two ladies in front of him were obviously from well-known families, their husbands were well-known ministers, and they had noble status. Of course, according to the people Enleco knew, a lady of this status was nothing. After all, Her Royal Highness the Princess stayed with her almost every day, and among the people known by Haguero's mother, There is no one with a lower status than the two in front of me.

Therefore, although Enleco had roughly guessed the identities of these two people, he was not surprised.

Enleco's calm and calm appearance aroused the curiosity of the two ladies, because they originally thought that the driver almost hit an ordinary passerby, but this kind of temperament is not something ordinary people can possess. of. But speaking of being a noble, this young man did not have the arrogance possessed by nobles. The two ladies secretly guessed Enleco's status, but it was also impossible for them to contact Enleco with the famous imperial envoy. together.

Exactly as Enleco expected, the carriage drove straight to the Governor's Palace. This time, there was no need to report. The carriage drove directly into the gate of the Governor's Palace. When the carriage stopped in the yard, Enleco had already Noticed that there were people standing outside. As expected, the Governor-General was standing at the forefront of the crowd. If his guess was correct, the person following him should be Mr. Jardell, the chairman of the Magic Association, whom he was looking for. And all the people standing around him were also looking for him. They are the powerful people from all walks of life in Chengdaville City.

When the car door opened, the two ladies stepped out of the carriage with the support of the maid. As expected, the county guard came forward with a smile and took one of the ladies' hands, just as Enleco expected. While constantly saying nonsense like "Madam, after all your hard work, she's finally here", she happily greeted everyone to get ready for the banquet. And the other wife turned out to be the wife of the chairman, which Enleco did not expect.

When the two ladies got off the carriage, the maid got back on the carriage. She gave two orders, and the coachman knew what was going on and drove the carriage to the backyard of the Governor's Palace. When they arrived in the backyard, the maid took Enleco to the carriage. After putting it down, she pulled Enleco into the magnificent main buildings of the Governor's Palace from a side door.

From the mouth of the maid, Enleco finally learned that today is the day when the Kaoqi Kingdom holds an adult ceremony. More than a dozen nobles, including the Governor's only daughter, will be declared adults today. Therefore, the chief of Stryer County All the nobles came to congratulate. Under the leadership of the maid, Enleco came to the temporary medical room of the Governor's Palace. A doctor simply bandaged Enleco, and the tattered clothes were simply bandaged by the maid. After sewing for a while, after everything was settled, the maid took Enleco to the service lounge located in the corner of the Governor's Palace. Of course, the maid had to tell Enleco not to walk around casually. She would naturally do it when the banquet was over. Arrange a carriage to take Enleco home. Enleco nodded in agreement to the maid's instructions.

Seeing that Enleco behaved so honestly, the maid left with peace of mind. She still had a lot of things to do.

After the maid left, of course Enleco couldn't sit still. For such a lively event as the coming-of-age ceremony, Enleco would never give up the visit easily. Besides, Enleco is already sixteen this year and will be ten in half a year. At the age of seven, he will be an adult by then. According to the current situation, his adult ceremony will obviously be held in the Kingdom of Kaoqi, so Enleco really wants to see it. According to Kaoqi The customs of the kingdom, how rites of passage are conducted.

Enleco, who was full of curiosity, sneaked out of the lounge, but he knew himself after all, and the clothes he wore were indeed a bit shabby for attending such a banquet. But in a hurry, Enleco had no clothes to change. Just when he was worried about this, he suddenly thought of his purpose of coming here. This is not only the Governor's Palace, but also the headquarters of the Magic Association in Stryer County. You can go to the Magic Association to get a set of magician robes.

Thinking of this, Enleco happily walked towards the Magic Association. Originally, Enleco expected to find a senior magician he knew with a job, but he didn't expect that because of today's banquet, all the famous magicians would attend. The banquet was over, and the person who stayed in the association was an ordinary gatekeeper. For this gatekeeper, Enleco had nothing to explain. He took out the magic apprentice trainee that Teacher Victor gave to him before the trial. Mark, he applied for a set of trial student robes from the gatekeeper. Originally, Enleco was still worried about whether the marks of trial students could be used universally in two different countries. Unexpectedly, the gatekeeper took out a set of magic apprentice without saying a word. Trial trainee dress robe.

Enleco, wearing a robe, walked into the hall of the Governor's Mansion. To be honest, after learning magic for such a long time, Enleco wore a magician's robe for the first time today. This really made Enleco feel a little better. Magician feeling.

However, the magic apprentice trainees are the lowest among magicians, so no one noticed them. And among the magicians walking around, none of them were wearing magician robes, even in the hall. Among the young people standing in the front row who were preparing to receive the coming-of-age ceremony, there were also two wearing the robes of trainee magicians.

Enleco stood there with great interest and watched the whole process of the adult ceremony. For him, a foreigner, everything was so novel. Like all Kaoqi celebrations, the coming-of-age ceremony is quite grand and lively. As the protagonists, those who are about to become adults receive the blessings of those around them. For them tomorrow represents a new life. And the rite of passage represents a sign, a sign of being able to do many things that could not be done before. The two most important things are becoming an official and getting married. Therefore, during the coming-of-age ceremony, those courtship games that filled the Kaoqi Kingdom will be staged once or twice. As long as this kind of thing does not involve himself, Enleco It was still enjoyable to watch. Of course, if the protagonist were replaced by him, it would be a different matter.

While Enleco was tasting delicious food and watching scenes of interesting life dramas, the maid suddenly saw him, and saw the maid walking behind Enleco and getting close to Enleco. whispered in his ear: "I really regret trusting you, this little cunning guy, but where did you get this magician robe?"

Enleco smiled quite apologetically when he heard the maid's reproachful words.

※※※

Seeing Enleco's appearance, the maid continued: "Since you are here, forget it. It is your luck to be able to attend such a banquet, and it is also a reward for hurting you, but you must not cause trouble."

After saying this, the maids turned around and wanted to leave. However, I didn't expect that the two of them whispering would all fall into one person's eyes. This person is one of the protagonists of the ceremony, the daughter of the county governor.

The princess saw her mother's maid chatting intimately with a stranger she had never seen before, and the stranger was actually wearing a magician's robe, although it was only the lowest magic among magicians. Apprentices try out the robes of trainees, but this behavior is an insult to the identity of a magician.

In fact, because her uncle is the chairman of the Magic Association, the princess has been practicing magic since she was a child. Therefore, she is one of the best magicians among people of the same age. She often takes the place of magicians. The teacher taught the basics of magic to the new magic apprentices, so there was no magic apprentice in the entire Strayer County who she didn't recognize, so she could tell at a glance that Enleco was not a magic apprentice in Strayer County.

This princess princess is usually very arrogant and cannot tolerate the students making any mistakes. Now she sees someone pretending to be a magician to sneak into this very important coming-of-age ceremony for her, which of course makes her extremely unhappy. What's more, seeing her mother's personal maid so close to this stranger, this young lady has already decided that he is The maid let this man in privately.

Thinking of this, the princess became angry and walked toward Enleco angrily.

When she stood in front of Enleco with a straight face, the young magic apprentice trial student didn't know what she had done wrong. However, the maid next to him had already guessed why his little master was so angry. She was very clear about the stern temperament of the princess.

Enleco didn't care about the angry look of the princess. After all, compared with Teacher Chris and Her Royal Highness, the female princess's female danger was really far behind.

Not to mention how angry the princess was that this stranger didn't take her seriously. Originally, she just wanted to reprimand them secretly and ask them to leave the banquet voluntarily, and that would be the end of the matter. However, we can't settle this matter casually now. We have to let these two guys suffer and learn a lesson.

So the princess asked Enleco: "Are you a magic apprentice? So are you the disciple of that master?" She was actually questioning Enleco's identity as a magician, because if he is not a magician If this is the case, there will be no apprenticeship, and all magicians who are qualified to serve as teachers must be intermediate magicians or above recognized by the Magic Association. There are not many such people in the entire Kaoqi Kingdom, and she Know them all. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for this stranger to prevaricate his identity randomly.

This question is a very interesting one for Enleco, because during that performance at the Victory Day memorial, the old wolf nominally became the teacher of several of them, and in a sense, the old wolf , who is also from the Kaoqi Kingdom.

Thinking of this, Enleco replied directly: "My teacher is a master who is too old to be old. You should never have seen him."

Regarding these words, the princess princess naturally thought that these words were nonsense. Therefore, she snorted coldly and said: "If you can't prove your origin as a master, then are you willing to accept my test? I want to see if you really have the qualifications of a magic apprentice."

Enleco didn't care at all about the young lady's test. On the contrary, the maid was worried about this ungrateful little guy, but she knew the young lady's temper quite well and knew that trying to persuade her at this time would only add fuel to the fire. , so the maid had to stand aside tremblingly.

The princess princess did not intend to deliberately embarrass Enleco. She did test Enleco according to the standards of a magic apprentice. As she chanted a spell loudly, a ray of fire appeared in front of her. "See? This is the simplest. As long as you can do it, I will spare you, otherwise..."

she said.

The sound of the incantation immediately attracted a large number of onlookers. They did not know what was going on. However, most of these onlookers were people who had little knowledge and loved to watch the excitement. Those with high status, because of their respect for their status, It was inconvenient to watch such children's tricks, and because of this, no one recognized Enleco's identity.

And those onlookers all had the same view as the princess. In their eyes, Enleco was a scoundrel who sneaked in to cheat on food and drink. They were ready to see how this little scoundrel would make a fool of himself.

For Enleco, this test is nothing at all. He flicked his fingers lightly, and without even chanting any spells, a flame suddenly jumped out and floated in mid-air. Enleco deliberately showed off, and saw that he flicked his fingers, and flames, water droplets and small lightning jumped out one by one. It was really beautiful to fly in the mid-air. The water droplets were reflected by the flames and were as bright as a ball. The bright rubies and the small electric beads flying in the sky add a brilliant color to this beautiful scene.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the scene in front of them, but what everyone was thinking was not exactly the same.

For those who don't understand magic, all this is just a beautiful performance. But for the princess princess, it wasn't just admiration, it was extreme shock. Because what she saw in front of her seemed to be just a relatively good trick, but it required the simultaneous use of water, fire, and wind magic to be possible, and she had never heard of any magician in this world who could do it. Use four lines of magic at the same time.

She looked at the magic apprentice in front of her who was obviously younger than herself with extremely shocked eyes. Suddenly, the identity of the other party jumped out of the princess's mind clearly, because even if she could do this, There are at most four magic apprentices who can perform miracles that none of the great magicians can do, and two of these four happen to be in Chengdaville City. Although the identity and status of these four magicians are only the lowest magic apprentices among magicians, their strength is terrifying. One of them is a magic knight who has mastered the unique skills of magic and martial arts. The other one is a lady who possesses the "holy water" that can create miracles of life. As for the third one, others don't know what his strength is, but no one dares to underestimate his power. And the last one is also a few people The most powerful person in the world, this person not only has strong combat power, but is also one of the only two forbidden magicians in the world. According to the latest information, when this person uses ordinary magic, he does not use it at all. The man who recited the incantation was none other than the imperial envoy sent by His Majesty the Emperor—Enleko Pros.

Of course, the princess is not the only one who knows the identity of the little magician in front of her. Those who are also magicians, or are familiar with the magic society, and even those who simply collect celebrity information from everywhere, Enleco's identity has also been guessed.
