The dome is covered with intricate luminaires that glow softly. It is precisely because www.biquge.info of the extreme financial support of such a local tyrant that it is enough to make this large lecture hall located underground appear bright and spacious.

The expansive lecture halls are curved around and are divided into nine sections, like the lecture halls of Charlotte's former university, with the instructor in the center giving the last public lecture to the apprentices.

"As we all know, modern magic is divided into six realms, which are the destruction system that governs the elements, the prophecy system that governs the elements, the change system that is proficient in the changes of all things, the royal law system that is proficient in the laws and protection, the illusion system that governs the illusion mind, and the soul system that governs death and summoning. ”

These categories almost encompass all things that change, and exhaust the principles of the world. In the past, the mages were lonely in their quest for the truth, they did not believe in the gods, they were intelligent and arrogant, they vowed to master the truth of all things. As a result, the successful person touches the root and achieves the omnipotent root king. ”

"The King of the Roots is the ultimate sought after by all mages, and those who have mastered the Roots possess terrifying powers that rival or even surpass the powerful divine powers. The known kings of the roots are Edwin, the Lord of the Stars, Zoe, the Lord of Structure, Emmanuel, the Lord of the Royal, and Gerald, the notorious demon of the Abyss. ”

Today is a special day. As an apprentice, your foundation has been completed. You have to go to a higher level of cultivation in order to become a true spell caster. I know you're nervous right now. The best and the lucky among you will be apprenticed by the mages of Icewind Castle and follow your teacher on the path of magic. Those who were not selected had to leave in disgrace or pay a lot of money to continue their public classes at Icewind Castle Academy. ”

"But I have to say to you, even the losers need not be discouraged, and the successful ones cannot be proud. No one can say the changes in the future, as long as you keep your original intention to move forward, you will be able to chase your own truth!"

Immediately there was a round of applause in the staircase classroom, and the balding middle-aged mage wiped his glasses, then rolled up his sleeves and touched his shiny head. Only then did he say in a respectful voice.

"Now, welcome our powerful spellcasters to pick their favorite apprentices. ”

In the most hidden corner at the bottom of the classroom, a little fat man wearing a black apprentice's robe and holding a staff that emits a faint magical glow looks left and right, and smiles.

"Well, old Grian, that's a pretty thing. In fact, he was just a crappy mage in the first ring, and in Icewind Castle, he was already the kind of person who had been abandoned. ”

"Yes, I heard that when this old pervert teaches, he often finds excuses to hold the shoulders of girls. It's also called caring and loving!"

He was answered by a thin kid in the front row, his face was full of freckles, and when he turned back to talk to the little fat man, he deliberately showed his right hand with a magic gem ring.

The little fat man immediately knew that the other party was a privileged apprentice of the same class as him, and he smiled and accosted the thin man.

"Hey, bro. You've already decided on a teacher?"

"Of course, otherwise I would have sat in this remote corner. Anyway, we have to give those civilian apprentices some chances!haha!"

Hearing the conversation between the two of them, the young apprentices in the middle of nowhere, all of them looked disgusted.

Don't think that Icewind Castle is so glorious, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, even Icewind Castle, which is known as the three wonders of the world in Steeu, has its dark side.

Mages are powerful and noble, but it must be stated that the profession is a money-burning thing. Don't be a master if you don't have qualifications, don't be a master if you don't have IQ, and most importantly, don't be a master if you don't have money!

It takes money to study, it takes money to study and improve magic, and it costs money to conduct various experiments. Even the strength of the small nobles can't withstand the huge resources needed for the growth of mages, so what should we do?

There are so many nobles in the north, just sign a deed of sale and become a personal mage advisor to the nobles of the Duchy of Icewind Castle or the Duchy of Erosa, so that the great nobles provide resources and the mages provide knowledge and power, and everyone is happy.

Therefore, in the so-called apprenticeship selection of Icewind Castle, the children of those great nobles have basically set a seat. You know, it takes a lot of resources and time to support an apprentice to grow, and if it weren't for the passage of this issue by the Mage Council of the Inner Ring of Icewind Castle, no mage would want to bring a bunch of oil bottles that don't know anything.

According to the unspoken rules in the apprenticeship academy, the mentors will place the apprentices with excellent grades in the most central area. And those children who have average grades or are at the bottom can only sit in dark and remote corners. From this point of view, these two damn RMB players are not commendable geniuses either.

Vivien's head was lowered deeply, her thin body trembling like a quail, the upcoming apprenticeship selection was a terrible doomsday judgment for her, and she had almost been sentenced to death by the apprenticeship academy in the middle of nowhere.

She was not the child of a large aristocratic family, she was born in the border city of Cagle in the Duchy of Icewind, and his father was a small local gentry with a small fortune. Ever since her father took her to Icewind Castle to check out that she had a talent for spells, the family had almost gone bankrupt to instill resources into her.

And now, the family's fortune is about to bottom out because of the supply of several years, and not being able to become an apprentice to a regular mage means that she must pay a lot of gold to stay at the Icewind Castle Apprenticeship Academy, or the poor child will have to roll up and leave.

The thought of her father's pitiful expression when she got home and had to endure despair to comfort her made Vivien faint as she felt her stomach churn and feel like her stomach was tumbling to the point that the apprentice's nutritious meal had almost vomited out of her esophagus last night. Incidentally, in order to save her money on the verge of bottoming out, and to have some money left for her journey home when she had to roll up, Vivien usually didn't eat breakfast.

"Hey, you don't look good, what's wrong, are you pregnant?"

Vivien was startled by the sound of a vibrant girl's soft voice, and she shrugged her thin shoulders like a quail, and turned her head pitifully after making sure that her death sentence had not just been pronounced.

Sitting beside her was a cute girl with short bright yellow hair, her excessively bright crimson eyes, an exaggerated smile on her face with a little baby fat, and two small tiger teeth bathing in the air cutely. The girl was looking at herself with her little head in one hand and tilting her head in the other, and with the other hand she was boredly playing the chaotic drum beat on her desk.

Compared to this unknown girl who was overly happy, Vivien was at two extremes. Her medium-length black hair was meticulously combed, and on the right side there was a butterfly-shaped hairpin, and her weak and beautiful face was enough to make any normal man feel pity for her.

"What's the matter, why don't you speak!"

The energetic girl was urging, and Vivien thought about it, and she could only refute it in a small voice like a mosquito.

"How, how can you get pregnant. Please, please don't joke with me!"

"Hahaha, who said that! You're almost 10 years old, and in my hometown, everyone at this age already has children!"

What kind of terrible evil area is that!Girl, do you really wear duct tape to live in such a terrible Lori hell?

Vivien felt like she had taken 10,000 points of critical damage, and her whole body was petrified into a gray sculpture. It was a long time before Vivien jerkily tried to change the subject.

"You—you don't seem to be worried about apprenticeship selection at all. Yes, is it because you have already set a teacher?"

"How is it possible, it's impossible!haha...... My father is just a blacksmith, and although he is a little famous because of his good skills, it is impossible to have anything to do with the mages. After today, I'll roll up and go home, hehe!"

The energetic girl waved her hand, not at all worried about her apprentice selection. When she heard her answer, Vivien stiffened her expression and tugged at the corners of her mouth, really unable to think of any reason for her to be happy.

"You—you don't seem to be worried about your future or your family...... I really envy you......"

"That's no way! Big deal, I'll play more iron when the time comes, and I will get my father's investment over the years to earn it back. Don't look at me like this, I'm still a little confident in my strength!"

As she spoke, she struck a toned pose, but there was really no sign of muscle on her slender arms. Besides, this guy is a little too optimistic, how much iron does it take to earn all these years of tuition?

But thanks to her, Vivien's overly nervous mood was relieved. The next two little Lori exchanged names with each other, and Vivien learned that the name of this overly cheerful girl was Lolita. She seemed to be prepared for the worst, and was able to view the apprenticeship selection as a spectator.

"Hey, Vivien, which mage did you say those guys would be chosen? I've heard that the most popular teachers this time are the veteran mentor Clade, who has taught several full-fledged mages, and Mage Illya, known as the Flower of the Mages of Icewind Castle, ah, Master Illya is said to have the highest rating among the boys. Then, then, the girls' favorite mentor is the handsome and calm Mage Claire!"

"Hey, hey, it's said that the rumors about Claire Mage can't be finished even if they are said for three days and three nights, the young five-ring mage, known as the double of Icewind Castle, has a great future, and has been elected to the Inner Ring Council of Icewind Castle this year. This is simply an idol in the hearts of ignorant girls!"

This newfound companion, Lolita, is a humanoid gossip magazine, and all kinds of rumors about the apprentice can be heard from her. Because it was about the selection of apprentices, Vivian, who had never heard anything outside the window, couldn't help but prick her ears.

"Hey, since it's a double bi, who is the other one? Didn't he participate in this apprenticeship selection?"

When Vivien asked curiously, she saw the bright expression on Lolita's pretty face collapse instantly, and she broke out in a cold sweat from her smooth and lovely forehead as if she had heard some terrible story.

"About that one...... About three years ago, three apprentices were blown up in less than a month because of their teacher's whimsical experiments with nonsense. It is said that he is still recuperating in the Icewind Castle Magic Hospital!"

"Pray, pray that we don't be chosen by him even if we lose. The evil mage known as the other pole of the twin powers, the terrifying monster who reached the sixth ring at the age of 20, and known as the apprentice reaper, His Royal Highness Charlotte Clayderman, Grand Duke of Icewind Castle......"

That day, Vivien learns from Lolita's words that there is a more terrible and miserable hell in this world than defeat......
