"As we said before, this year Ceylon will have a new meritocracy and resources will be more focused on the most talented apprentices, so we have to determine which talents are the best and best for our students, and the second assessment is to select them. ”

Sim turned and walked down the platform, and he took an oval stone from the hand of the Ansai Golem behind him.

The stone was glowing, that faint hazy white light, which looked gentle and soft.

No one is surprised by this stone, because it is a very common light stone infused with magic power, and with enough magic infusion, it can become a fairly long-lasting and stable source of light.

In this respect, it is much stronger than the recently invented electric light, which is useless without electricity.

"It's a very ordinary light stone. Sim said, "Don't say put it in the dark, even in such a sunny day, if it is placed on the table or dropped on the floor, it is very conspicuous, and the second part of your assessment is to find it." ”

The apprentices had puzzled looks on their faces.

What else is there to look for in such a conspicuous thing?

Sim was clearly aware of the apprentices' doubts, or that he had deliberately sold out a pass, and he continued, "Of course it is impossible for you to find it in such an environment, it is too unchallenging, you come with me." ”

Sim walked out, and the apprentices followed wordlessly.

After about half a mile of walking, Sim led the group to a very strange place.

Seeing the scene in front of them, the apprentices had surprised expressions on their faces.

It stands to reason that the scene in front of you shouldn't be in reality, because in many places it's too counterintuitive.

There were a few buildings nearby, and from the outside, they were all very ordinary huts made of stone and wood, but many of them were burning with flames, and from time to time you could see the beams and logs with the fire smashing down and smashing into the ground.

The environment outside the building is also incredible, first of all, it is surprising to see a large swamp inside the Ceylon College, but not far from this swamp is a tall golden sand dune, the sand ridges of the dunes are as sharp as knives, and the white sand is like a ripple, which is even more incomprehensible.

In addition, there are all kinds of incredible phenomena, such as the coexistence of day and night, the growth of trees downward, and so on.

"This can never be true. ”

"This must be an illusion, right?"

The apprentices seemed to have discovered the mystery, and Sim did not pretend to be mysterious, and generously explained: "Yes, your guess is correct, this is a place that has been set up in advance with a large light illusion, and your task is to find the light stone that was shown to you before. ”

Sim raised his hand again and looked at his watch, and his action immediately made the apprentices who had just passed the first test of Guò nervous: "You have thirty minutes, find a light stone in this light illusion scene and hand it to me." Here I would like to give you two hints, firstly, you can use any method you can think of to find the lightstone, but you are not allowed to form a gang, and you are not allowed to snatch other people's lightstone, and secondly, if more than sixty people find the lightstone within the specified time, then Ceylon will only admit the first sixty people, so you better not rub it off, the sooner the better. ”

"Alright, let's get started. ”

The apprentices immediately rushed into the illusion, and there was no time for grace.

Al was also carried by the crowd and walked into the illusion together.

Looking at the vast and spacious environment in front of him, Al was a little dazed at not knowing what to do.

Searching for a small stone in such a vast place, with its deceptive illusions, is like looking for a needle in a haystack, even if there are many pieces of it.

But some apprentices apparently don't think so.

"Is it just looking for something? ”

The short boy, who might have had a dwarf apprentice, snapped his fingers and said nonchalantly.

This rather wild gesture naturally attracted some attention from the surroundings, and it was obviously not a kind gaze.

The dwarf boy didn't notice, or rather didn't care, as he took out three strange machines from his bosom that looked like large spiders and lined them up all the way to the ground.

The apprentice who was paying attention to the dwarf boy around couldn't help but have a curious and puzzled look on his face.

The dwarf boy took out a large handle from the large key he was about to hang, and the key head was also inlaid with a blue royal key, and inserted it into the tail of the mechanical spider.

Seeing this scene, some onlookers showed some subtle expressions on the faces of the apprentices.

The dwarf boy began to turn in public without any scruples.

Some of the onlookers turned their faces secretly, the corners of their mouths twisted slightly, and their faces tinged with an abnormal flush.

The mechanical spider's eyes suddenly glowed crimson, and its six legs began to move like a real spider, but because it didn't land, this stroke was purely empty.

The dwarf boy lowered it to the ground.

The mechanical spider rushed out like an arrow from a string.

After releasing all three mechanical spiders, the dwarf boy clapped his hands and said, "That's it!"

Perhaps because he was not used to seeing the dwarf boy's smug face, there were apprentices around him who whispered: "I haven't seen any results yet, so I said that it was done, I really don't know where the confidence comes from." ”

The dwarf boy's ears were pointed, and he turned to the apprentice who questioned him, raised his head and said nonchalantly:

"Just wait and see!"

Before entering the illusion, Sim had said that gangs were not allowed, but it didn't seem that everyone was going to comply, and several apprentices got very close.

The first of them was a tall apprentice, who was richly dressed and had handsome features, which easily attracted the attention of others.

At his waist was a beautiful short staff, with a large gem inlaid at the top, which actually revealed the extraordinary identity of the young man.

You know, the staff is definitely not a bargain, and the boy said that the price of the staff is certainly not expensive just from the exquisite workmanship and the large gems, such a staff can be regarded as an extremely expensive luxury for an ordinary small rich merchant's family.

And the exam, which this teenager followed and also entered the second part, is more revealing:

This boy must have come from a magical family, and he is definitely an extraordinary magical family.
