Chapter XXXVI Your Excellency Ceylon
"This apprentice is the first person to find the Light Stone in this assessment, don't you wonder what method he used?" said Sim loudly.
Many apprentices have long felt quite strange about this, after all, this strange peer in the cloak before seemed to have found the first light stone directly without any means, and it was obvious that his goal was very clear at the time, and some people even secretly wondered in their hearts whether this guy had received special 'attention'.
Sim certainly didn't expect the apprentices to guess El's method of finding the Lightstone, which he hadn't even thought of before.
"He's listening. β
Sim said slowly with a meaningful smile on his face.
"Listen?"
"Listening?"
The apprentices below were naturally extremely surprised, they didn't expect this to be the answer at all.
"Yes, the light stone actually makes sounds, as long as you find a way to double your hearing, although this method seems to have nothing to do with light, but I still think it is a very good answer, what do you say?"
Some looked thoughtful, others looked at Al with surprise, and of course, there were people who were clearly dismissive of it, like Philip and his henchmen, who then again, didn't seem to look at anyone at all.
"Perhaps some of you already know that Ceylon's entrance exam is directly related to the subsequent class assignment, and I believe that this apprentice's answer is enough to get him into the best class, so I hope that the other students will also work hard. β
Sim blinked, meaningfully.
I believe that Sim's words were meant to use Al as an example or example, but for Al, it may mean trouble.
"Is that okay?"
"He doesn't have the slightest talent for light spells!"
"It's just opportunistic. β
El's superhuman hearing allowed him to easily hear the other apprentices whispering about him.
"Did you really rely on hearing just now?"
A voice came from at his feet.
Al looked down and saw that it was the little dwarf from before, he looked up at Al, squinting slightly and wrinkling his nose, looking a little unconvinced.
"Sort of. Al replied casually.
"Then how did you come up with the idea that the light stone could be heard, and could you hear it without spells?" the little gnome was particularly surprised by this.
"I can actually hear it. β
Al's honest answer didn't win the little gnome's trust, and he narrowed his eyes and stared at Al fiercely with suspicion.
"Really?"
Al couldn't help but lower the brim of his cloak with his hand.
"Let me ask you a question, are you male or female?"
"Male. β
Al replied briefly.
The little dwarf stared at the underside of the El cloak for a long time, but he didn't know if the El was better shielded, or if there was a mysterious power helping to protect him, and the little dwarf could never see the true face under the El cloak.
The little dwarf who had found nothing finally couldn't bear it anymore, he jumped back, and said angrily: "No matter how you look at this guy, you are quite suspicious, you wait, there will always be Lord Jerden who will expose your true colors." β
There are a lot of drama-like eyes around.
This couldn't help but give Al a hunch that maybe life at the Ceylon Academy would not be so smooth in the future.
It was a very simple room, with a square table, a chair, and intricate Persian carpets covering the entire room.
But it's simple, but it's not ordinary.
Not to mention the mysterious runes on the carpet and the faint smell of magical items emanating, not to mention that the table is made of nine kinds of superb magic wood, the Boros spirit wood that is often used to make zuΓ² magic staffs, not to mention the mysterious luster exuded under the seat, which makes the entire seat float in the air in mid-air, and the most special thing in the whole room is the person sitting at the table.
If you only look at the back, you may think that this is just an ordinary middle-aged man, the thin figure makes people feel a little weak, his hair is very long, and it feels a little messy, but his robe is very clean and even exudes a faint light, giving people a somewhat contradictory feeling.
Knock knock.
There was a knock on the door outside the room.
"Come in. β
The middle-aged man's voice was gentle, but there seemed to be an indescribable power in it.
He looked up.
A very ordinary but extraordinary face.
Ordinary refers to appearance, extraordinary refers to temperament, and equally extraordinary is his eyes.
It was a pair of eyes with only the whites of the eyes.
If it is a hideous face with such a pair of eyes, I am afraid that it will scare people a lot in such a night, but this middle-aged man's facial features are very ordinary and gentle, with such a pair of eyes, not only is not scary at all, but adds a strange attraction to him.
A middle-aged man pushed the door and walked in, he had a rather lush beard that was particularly distinctive, and if the freshmen who were taking the entrance exam today saw this person, they would surely be able to recognize him as Master Sim, who was presiding over the exam.
"Sit down. β
The middle-aged man smiled, and he raised his hand behind the table.
"Thank you, Master Ceylon. β
Sim smiled back, but instead of sitting down, he pushed his chair aside and stood upright in front of Ceylon.
His back was straight, and his face was full of respect.
You must know that the person in front of you is the true promoter of Ceylon Academy, one of the ** divisions of the Vima country that has been counted in the entire Vima Empire, Your Excellency Ceylon.
Sim was in true awe of the adult in front of him, just as a devout apprentice revered his teacher.
Ceylon didn't let Sim sit down again, he just smiled and said lightly, "How?"
Sim, of course, knew what Ceylon was asking, and he quickly replied: "This year's apprentices are of good qualifications, exceeding previous expectations. β
"Good. Ceylon nodded heavily, a smile on his face.
"Do you think there is an apprentice like Landon Trill, then?" asked Ceylon again.
Sim thought for a moment, then shook his head: "A genius like Landon Trill is too rare, I'm afraid there is no comparable apprentice this time, but there are a few interesting people." β
"How's that funny?"
"There's an actuarial dwarf in this apprenticeshipβ"
"Actuarial gnomes?" Ceylon interrupted Sim.
"Yes, I was very surprised, and I asked him why he had gone to Ceylon to study magic, and the answer he gave me was one of interest and curiosity. β
"Interested?" Ceylon smiled at the corners of his mouth, "It's interesting that an actuarial dwarf is interested in magic. β
"Then there's a black-haired apprentice who also looks very good, but I don't know why, I feel that he seems to have some hidden and reserved abilities, and his name is also strange, called Long Chen. β
"Brunette, Ryuchen. Ceylon chewed on the name at the corner of his mouth for a moment, and said, "This naming style always feels a little familiar. β
"Well, in addition, your Excellency, there is also a young man from a remote village, who is far beyond my expectations, and he wears a cloak throughout, so that people cannot see his face, and even I used a dark vision spell, and when I look under his hood, I can only see a cloud of mist, I think his origin is very suspicious. β
"How did you do that?"
"I treat him like a normal apprentice, as you say. β
"Good. β
