Charles has been tall and tall since his hunchback is gone, and his height of 1.8 meters is considered tall even among adults. At this time, he was in the middle of a group of children, and he was a veritable standout.

He looked around from time to time, but most of the children around him were like little adults, staring at the obelisk in the center of the square without squinting.

It is said to be a tower, but it is actually a three-story tall bulky instrument, with a transparent tower body, and the inside is empty.

In Charles's opinion, this is just a large glass can, and what is really strange is that under his inadvertent detection with brain waves, he found that the air inside this obelisk is obviously comparative...

Well... Active?

"See, such a big crystal, I didn't lie to you, right?" said the bearded man Lotem, pointing to the crystal behind Charles's head, and said to the fierce people around him.

"Hey, this little master is really a little lucky, but is it too late to enter school at this age?"

"It can't be fake, can such a large crystal hide in a sarcoma?"

"That's right, old Tom is a broken mouth, and his words are still unreliable in the end. Lotham looked closely, and it was indeed as Peach Blossom Eye said, and the crystals did not look like they had been hidden under the skin.

He squinted for a while, then suddenly slapped away the peach-eyed young man's hand, and said stunnedly, "Eh no, who are you, you've been quite slimy since just now." ”

"Outlander, Ivan Nash, good luck. The peachy-eyed young man didn't care about giving a crooked mercenary salute to Lotem.

"Lotham-Barnes—" Lotem was stunned by Ivan's mercenary salute.

Outsiders? Where can you go out of the land of the three counties?

"Don't talk nonsense, let's get started. The thin woman looked at the wide platform under the obelisk and said without looking back.

At this time, on the platform, there was a white-haired old man holding a golden staff, he was wearing a white gorgeous robe, and there was a thumb-sized yellow crystal on his forehead, he looked around majestically, his eyes were slightly stagnant on the viewing platform for a moment, and after making sure that the nobles were seated, he struck the ground with a golden staff "duh", and said loudly:

"Kids, I'm your dean, Morgan Garret. ”

"Snort. ”

Someone on the viewing platform suddenly laughed disdainfully.

Lady Garrett also showed displeasure, among the nobles present, the most marginal is also the earl of the heirloom of three or five generations, naturally understands that the current president of the Royal Academy is Elliott's mud leg, and the one under the tower is just a small dean, although he is not wrong to say so, but it is inevitable that there is some inferiority.

"It's really a headache to have such a living treasure at home. Marquis Flying Fish raised his delicate eyebrows and sighed.

"Uncle Morgan has always had a lot of complaints about Dean Gray, and my family has persuaded him, but..."

Mrs. Garrett smiled bitterly, and she was helpless against the old man in the family, so she could only rub her eyebrows and say:

"The internal affairs of the academy, as long as we don't delay the children, it is inconvenient for us to delve into them..."

"Don't delay?" Marquis Feiyu sneered and raised his voice: "I advise you to make it clear to the little ones at home when you go back, and don't use them as gunmen for nothing." ”

"That's right, that's right..."

"The affairs of the academy really have nothing to do with us. ”

"The Marquis has taught you..."

When everyone heard this, they all said that they would act according to their words, and there was no ambiguity.

At this time, Dean Morgan Garrett on the stage had already finished his routine opening remarks and began to introduce the form and process of the test to the children in the audience.

"I know that most of you have already taught yourself some magic, and the next test will pass if you prove that you can resonate with the elements. ”

After Morgan Garrett finished speaking, he took out a folded booklet from his sleeve, cleared his throat, and looked at it for a while before reading aloud, "Billy West!"

At the head of the procession was a well-dressed little boy, who immediately stepped forward and saluted Morgan when he heard his name, which turned out to be the standard aristocratic etiquette: "Hello, Lord Garret." ”

Morgan was about to nod his head subconsciously when he saw this pleasing salute, but the boy named Billy just called him an adult, as if he hadn't heard the opening remarks of his self-proclaimed dean a few minutes ago, and he was so angry that he stiffened his head.

"Hey, Doryl, your kid is a little interesting~" The Marquis of Flying Fish on the viewing platform was happy when he heard it, and turned sideways to the table behind him and said.

"My lord, you are loved, Billy is young and ignorant, I will teach him a good lesson when I go back. A man with a calm face immediately got up and bent down when he heard this, and responded politely.

"Hahaha, let's see what this little guy is capable of. The Marquis of Flying Fish laughed and looked into the square with great interest.

At this time, Morgan on the stage had regained his majestic demeanor, and said to the little boy Billy in a deep voice: "Come forward, what kind of elemental talent do you have?"

The little boy, Billy, walked up to the platform with a calm look and stood quietly in front of Morgan's right, not only facing Morgan but also facing the viewing platform to the southwest. He said aloud with a childish voice:

"The source of all things, the wise one, I am the one who engraves the law of body and mind, and the element of water accompanies me!"

As soon as the words fell, Charles clearly felt that the little little Billy on the stage was like a small base station, opening a spherical "service area" with him as the center, and the "service area" covered a range of about five meters nearby, and the moisture in the air in this area was connected to the "signal" of this small point.

Charles knew that this was the elemental field in Cecilia's mouth, he had never met a few people in the wilderness before, and Cecilia's wood elemental field was the first time he had come into contact with this kind of magical operation.

It's been a few days since he got home, and he's been on the streets a few times, but he's seen a lot of places like Billy.

After the battle of the steel bone demon ape, after walking before the ghost gate was closed, Charles's brainwave detection range increased by a whole circle, and at this time, he could already detect a single grass and tree within a radius of 35 meters. He was much more skilled at capturing the field than when he first met Cecilia, and he was no longer surprised to see this at this moment.

"Well, the water elemental. Morgan glanced back at the obelisk behind him, and saw that in the obelisk that had been empty, a little drop of water had condensed in the air and floated in the center of the tower.

"One ring, water talent. Morgan nodded, and then spoke to the auditorium and the surrounding crowd.

Hearing the results read by Morgan, there was a commotion in the crowd of onlookers.

"It's a ring from the beginning, and this year may be a bit interesting. ”

"Starting from scratch is actually the most difficult to teach, and the talented and intelligent have to learn for a year and a half, and this part is estimated to have been learned at home for two or three years, right?"

"Nonsense, don't you look at whose young master it is, Minister West's second son, is that comparable to ordinary people?"

"That's not necessarily, the Warhammer family only came out with a double-ring genius last year, what is a one-ring?"

While the crowd was buzzing and discussing, the dignitaries on the viewing platform congratulated Doryl West on having a talented magician in his family.

"Doriel, the little one looks like you, I like it, and I have time to walk around the stables. Marquis Flying Fish tilted his head slightly and said to Doryl.

"Thank you for your kindness, I will present a prayer post in the past few days, waiting for your lordship to pass on. Dorrill knew that this was an olive branch thrown by the Marquis of Flying Fish, and dared to slack off, so he immediately got up and walked to his side, and saluted solemnly.

"Lord Lumir, why don't you take a look, although this ten-year-old is rare, but it is not necessarily the best talent, such a rush is not like your style. ”

Lady Garrett watched intently as the tests were being carried out in the field, and after Dorril retreated, she leaned back slightly, and whispered to the Marquis of Flying Fish quietly.

"How can there be any of the best talents, the so-called geniuses who are stuck in the realm of Dharma disciples all their lives and can't move, have we seen less?"

"Oh, yes, I thought it was the Flying Fish family that had any thoughts about Doryl, the Deputy Minister of Justice~" Mrs. Garret's beautiful eyes wandered, glanced at the Marquis of Flying Fish, and said softly.

"Haha, no, no, I'm just looking at the little guy and pleasing to the eye, you think too much. The Marquis of Flying Fish touched his nose a little embarrassed, and said with a smile, which provoked another suspicious look from Lady Garret.

While the two were talking, another commotion rang out in the Oath Square.

"Sheila Anderfield, a double-ring Frenchman, has a talent for wood. There was a tremor of excitement in Morgan's majestic announcement, and he was obviously shocked by the test results in front of him.

Charles felt the elemental field of the little girl Sheila on the stage, and found that the little girl's field was indeed a little larger than the previous Billy range, but the size was also limited.

As for the more specific differences, they are reflected in the green leaves that appear out of thin air inside the obelisk.

At this time, the team had already advanced four or five places, except for one ring and one double ring, the rest were only able to expand the field of two or three meters, and there was even a slug imp who recited a few spells before he had a connection with the earth element around him.

And the next one, who simply can't even recite incantations, is a real poor family background, if it weren't for the small conspicuous yellow crystals on his cheeks, he might have been asked by Morgan to step down at this time.

"Simon Campbell, come forward," Morgan said to him, pointing to a bulging transparent disc in front of the obelisk, after looking at the little boy in a brand new cotton suit, and patiently confirming that he had not received the relevant education, "sense your crystal, and press your hand on the elemental tester." ”

This obelisk is an indispensable instrument for the entrance ceremony of the Academy of Magic, called the Elemental Tester.

Although there were many young mages like Billy and Sheila who had preschool education, there were still ordinary children like Simon, who had never been exposed to magic, and they only knew that they had a crystal on their heads, but they didn't know how to use it.

For these little chosen ones with no foundation, the Elemental Tester can help them determine if they are truly gifted with magic.

The little boy Simon's face was already red and his eyes were hazy with tears, and he was about to cry out when he heard Morgan's words, and then he stood obediently in front of the obelisk, frowned and closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then put his little hand on the disc.

After Morgan made sure that Simon's palm was in line with the instrument, he didn't say anything more, just raised his head and looked at the transparent tower of the elemental tester.

Sure enough, not long after, I saw that on the tower body, a palm print that was magnified dozens of times loomed appeared, and under a closer look, it was actually a layer of extremely fine dust covering the inside of the tower wall, forming a palm print.

Morgan carefully discerned the situation inside the elemental tester, looked at the disc that glowed faintly yellow, and announced loudly, "Simon Campbell, earth elemental talent. ”

The little boy Simon opened his teary eyes, gritted his teeth to prevent the tears from falling, he turned around and bowed vigorously to Morgan.

Morgan waved his hand impatiently and motioned for him to stand down, squinting his eyes again as he looked at the pamphlet and said in a loud voice:

"Next, Charles Griffin!"
