In the blink of an eye, a few days later.
The weather was fine, the sun was shining, and the sky was cloudless.
The spring sunshine shines warmly on the earth, and the waves on the Emerald River outside Emerald City sparkle.
At the port, a wooden boat like a hill was parked steadily.
This is the ship from the White Stone Tower Wizard, and it has been parked in the port for three days.
During these three days, the wizard from the White Stone Tower did two things:
The first thing was to investigate the cause of death of their third-level apprentice, Hua Er, but in the end they didn't find any clues, let alone catch the murderer.
The second thing was to test the wizard talents of people of suitable age in Cuijin City and surrounding villages. In the end, a dozen qualified candidates were selected and given the qualification to board the ship.
Today is the day to board the ship. All students who are qualified to board the ship can board the ship. People who are not qualified to board the ship may also be allowed to board the ship, but only if they have an exemption certificate.
…
"Da da da… "
Footsteps sounded.
Richard took Pandora and approached the wooden ship with the white stone tower in the port.
Richard's hands were empty, while Pandora was carrying a large suitcase in each hand, staggering as she walked. But the reason for the staggering is not because it can't be lifted, but because it is sleepy.
"Sleeping time has been getting longer and longer recently." Richard thought to himself, and continued to approach the wooden boat with Pandora. Suddenly he saw something out of the corner of his eye, turned his head and looked in a direction to the side, and saw an acquaintance appearing - Ge Luo.
At this time, Gro's dress was obviously different from before. He took off the prince's gorgeous clothes and just wore a simple black noble hunting suit, which looked somewhat capable. But when he walked, he looked a little sneaky, as if someone was following him, and he looked back from time to time.
It wasn't until he got closer that Gro realized that Richard was looking at him. He stopped immediately and opened his mouth slightly, showing a slightly embarrassed and complicated expression.
"So..." Richard was not affected and spoke slowly, "So... your final decision is to board the ship and become a wizard?"
"Uh... um..." Groo protracted his tone and nodded, "Yeah."
"That's fine." Richard said, "Although to be honest, I really don't recommend you to do this, but since you have chosen it, just don't regret it."
"I've figured it out." Gro said, pursing his lips. "Instead of actually going to the border territory and being a poor archduke, worrying about being attacked by the enemy every day, it's better to board a ship and find a way to become a wizard. .
This time I took a lot of courage. After making the decision, I ran out secretly without telling anyone. Now, I'm afraid that my eldest brother and the others don't even realize that I'm leaving, and it's impossible to stop me.
By the time they reacted, I had successfully boarded the ship, and they could only watch me leave. "
"Are you sure?" Richard smiled slightly.
"Huh? What?" Looking at Richard's expression, Gro couldn't help but feel guilty, "I...is there anything wrong with what I said?"
"Are you sure that no one is aware that you left? Are you sure that no one is following you?" Richard asked.
"Is it possible?" Gro's face changed slightly, and he looked behind him suddenly, but after scanning again, he found nothing. In fact, he was watching behind him all the way and didn't find any followers.
At this time, Richard said: "Look to the left, the man next to the goods more than a hundred meters away, and then look to the right, the man next to the wooden frame more than fifty meters away, and your Right in front, the man on the carriage. Have you noticed that they are all looking at you?"
"Them!" Gro finally noticed something was wrong and his body stiffened slightly, "Could it be that they..."
"Don't be nervous, they are indeed following you. I'm afraid your behavior will have been discovered long ago, but they are not trying to take you back. On the contrary, they should make sure you board the ship before they can rest assured." Richard said .
Gro's eyes flashed. He was not really stupid. After listening to Richard's words, he had already somewhat come to his senses. "So, my eldest brother is looking forward to my leaving?"
"Shouldn't it be right? After you leave, at least the territory will stay. Even the worst territory has a lot of value, so why not look forward to you leaving?"
"I… "
"Okay, let's board the ship." Richard said softly.
"Uh." Gro regained his composure, turned to look at the White Stone Tower Wizard's ship, took a deep breath, composed himself and said, "Okay, let's board the ship."
After speaking, Gro stepped closer and was stopped.
Between the White Stone Tower Wizard's ship and the port, there is a springboard for boarding people. At the end of the gangplank on the port, a beautiful girl stood, wearing a black robe, looking a little mysterious, with a ponytail standing up, and looking a little lively.
But at this time, the girl's face was icy. She stopped Gro, glanced at Gro, and said loudly: "You are not on the boarding list, you are not qualified to board the ship."
"But... I... I have an exemption certificate." Gro said quickly.
"Oh?" The girl with the ponytail raised her eyebrows, "Do you have a certificate for exemption? Take it out and let me see."
"Okay." Gro said, and went to dig it out.
Then he took out a money bag, opened the money bag, and took out a... gold coin.
Under the sun, the golden light shone so brightly that Gro was stunned.
An awkward and stunned atmosphere began to spread.
The girl with the ponytail gradually raised her eyebrows. She glanced at the gold coins in Gro's hand, looked at Gro and said, "Is this your exam exemption certificate?"
"I… "
"Are you teasing me on purpose? Do you know that if it wasn't me checking here but Mr. Silver, you would be dead!"
"No, no, no!" Groo waved his hands in a panic, "That's not the case, that's not the case. I remember that what I put in was obviously an exemption certificate. I bought it at an auction for nearly 20,000 gold coins. Many people I have seen it all, and the gentleman next to me, Richard, can also testify.
I remember I actually put it into this money bag last night. How...how did it suddenly turn into a gold coin? This...there must be something wrong with this..."
"I don't care if you are mistaken or not." The girl with the ponytail said coldly, "The rule of the White Rock Tower is that whoever has an exemption voucher can be exempted from the test boarding. This exemption voucher, whether it is for grabbing You got it, stolen, or how you got it, as long as you have it. But... if you don't have it, I'm sorry."
After a pause, the ponytail girl announced to Gro without mercy: "Now I give you two choices: either, turn around obediently and disappear from my sight as quickly as possible. Or, try The power of the spell I just learned, well, I’m still looking forward to it.”
Um, this...
