Under the leadership of Master Ou Lei, Jingchen and his party walked for nearly an hour in Fran City, and finally stopped in front of a quiet courtyard. It is said that the courtyard is not that this courtyard is very small, but compared with the surrounding palaces and palaces, this courtyard is indeed not big, although it is not large, it covers an area of thousands of square meters, the courtyard wall that is more than three meters high, and dozens of servants, makes people like Jingchen who have never seen anything big in the world really dumbfounded. And this courtyard is indeed quiet, the front street is the residence of the prince and other big nobles, and the back street is close to the palace, no one dares to come to this kind of place to make noise.

Entering the courtyard, it is a spacious courtyard, although there is no exquisite wall carving and painting, but it also reveals an outstanding atmosphere, which looks like a special taste. Jing Chen looked at all this in front of him suspiciously, he really couldn't imagine that this Ou Lei Master actually had such a mansion in Fran City, and had a huge space in this location, I am afraid that it is no longer possible to buy it with money.

Master Alpha seemed to see Jing Chen's doubts, smiled slightly, and said, "Xiao Chen, this old guy is not an ordinary person, even if the emperor of the Fran Empire sees him, he will call him uncle, so you don't have to be surprised." Master Alpha said casually, obviously this is not a secret.

Hearing his teacher's words, Jing Chen was slightly stunned, and a clear light flashed in his eyes, it turned out that this was the case! No wonder Master Ou Lei could own this mansion in such a superior position, it seems that not to mention such a large piece, even if it is a little bigger, I am afraid that no one dares to have any objections.

Master Ou Lei also smiled slightly, and said, "Xiao Chen, the first time you came to Fran City, are you still used to it? If you need to say it, I will try my best to help you arrange it, I dare not say anything else, in this Fran City, there are really not many things that the old man can't do." He smiled heartily.

For the place to live or something, Jingchen naturally has no requirements, not to mention that the environment is such a superior place, not only the environment is quiet, but the whole courtyard is also simple and generous, it is simply impossible to find any fault.

Seeing that there was no problem with Jingchen, Ou Lei continued, "It's good that there is no problem, Xiao Chen, since you have come to me, it is like coming to your own home, you don't have to be restrained." After a pause, Ou Lei looked up at the sky and continued, "It's not too early, I'll let the kitchen deliver food to the room in a while, I'll rest early today, and tomorrow your teacher will accompany you to get an enchanter certification." ”

Ou Lei's voice fell, several people were led by the servants, came to the neat and clean guest room, all the time, Jingchen did not have a good rest, today finally had a chance, he didn't even eat dinner, just lay on the bed and fell asleep. Ever since he could relieve the fatigue on his body by cultivating the starry sky, sleeping has become a luxury for Jing Chen, and if it weren't for the hard work of the past few days, Jing Chen wouldn't have had a good night's sleep.

Night, slowly descending on the city of Fran, one of the largest cities on the continent, also ushered in its most lively time. Française, known as the city that never sleeps in the West, naturally has its own reasons, the nightlife here is extremely prosperous, whether it is casinos, entertainment venues, or even some wine-colored establishments, all over the streets and alleys of the business district, roughly there are no less than 100,000. Such a scale has brought huge tax revenue to Franco, but also brought countless troubles, many casinos and Fengyue places will always cause some fatal incidents, which is also a headache for local officials in Fran City.

Commercial area, Baihua Lane.

This Baihua Lane is a small three-story building, there is no girl in it to support the scene, and the natural business is also average, at this moment, in a box on the third floor, the box that should be the sound of warblers and swallows is continuous, but it is surrounded by a strange atmosphere. I saw that there was a group of people sitting in the box, these people were dressed very ordinary, but they were also the clothes that should be worn by the consumer groups who came here, but the whole room was filled with an aura of nothingness, this aura was not an ordinary aura, and the discerning person knew at a glance that this was the aura laid by the strong to prevent others from eavesdropping.

"Chief, are we ...... this time?" asked a fat-headed, big-eared man, his gaze slightly drooping towards the table, while his head was facing the cold-faced old man at the head.

"There is news from the Cult that the Cult will have a big move at the Enchanter's Conference, so let's pay attention to it. The cold-faced old man at the head said with a gloomy face.

"Big move?" Everyone sitting next to the old man looked at the old man with some doubts, they didn't understand, in the capital of the French Empire, what big moves could the Divine Cult have, as the imperial city, there are not only many official masters, but also many folk masters, and it is extremely inconvenient to act.

"I don't know, I didn't say it, it just said that let's cooperate well then. A blank look flashed in the old man's eyes, this time the order was very vague, and he felt that there was a sense of wanting to say goodbye, but for the order from within the Divine Sect, he, as the head of the branch of the Frank City, did not dare to make any mistakes.

At midnight, the moon had already hung in the middle of the sky, and the silver-white moonlight slowly sprinkled down, covering the entire city of France with a thin silver veil.

At this moment, in the small courtyard, Jingchen, who had slept for most of the night, slowly walked out of the house, he didn't sleep for too long, this time he slept down, and he couldn't adapt to sleeping for too long, instead of rolling around on the bed, it was better to simply get up, and Jingchen also felt the familiar breath outside the door......

Seeing Jingchen push the door out, the person standing in the courtyard was also slightly surprised, when Jingchen came out, he saw the beautiful shadow about to turn around and leave, "Since you are here, why do you need to go so quickly?" Jingchen also walked slowly to the courtyard, this beautiful shadow is not someone else, it is that Qiong'er.

"Haven't rested yet?" Seeing Jingchen come out, Qiong'er was slightly stunned, and then asked with some embarrassment.

"Just wake up...... Alas......" sighed, Jingchen didn't know what to say at the moment.

"You...... You have to be careful in this enchanter competition, once you know your strength, I'm afraid that many people will do something to you. Qiong'er hesitated for a moment, but said slowly.

"Why?" Hearing Qiong'er's words, Jingchen turned his head to look at her suspiciously, these strange words made Jingchen's heart also confused, he really didn't know what this Qiong'er wanted him to be careful.

"Your Tianyan lineage, originally a very powerful enchanter inheritance, although the strength of your lineage is strong, but the people have not been very prosperous, I heard the teacher say that in the heyday of your Tianyan lineage, there were only more than ten people, no matter how powerful such a faction is, after all, there are too few people. Moreover, the various factions with inheritance generally do not absorb those foreign powerhouses to join the forces, which creates a situation where although the various inheritance branches are powerful and have profound heritage, they have no right to speak in the enchantment hall. "Joan is telling a very ordinary story.

After a pause, he only heard Qiong'er continue, "Later, the enchanters of all the inheritance branches suddenly united, and with an unrivaled momentum, they seized three seats of the five core elder seats of the Enchantment Hall, but the good times did not last long, with the decline and rise of the various inheritance enchantment branches, these three seats have been changing, and the various inheritance enchanter schools have also been engaged in open and secret battles, and your Tianyan line has firmly controlled a seat for tens of thousands of years. It's a pity that since Master Tiance disappeared, you Tianyan Yimai has been kicked out of the Council of Core Elders. At this point, Qiong'er didn't continue.

At this moment, how could Jing Chen not understand what Qiong'er meant, thinking about it, those guys who squeezed their own vein out of the core elder council definitely didn't want a genius like him to appear in their vein, and they would inevitably suppress it with all their might, I am afraid that even some more despicable means would not hesitate to use it.

Seeing that Jingchen understood what she meant, Qiong'er bit her lip slightly, and the words that originally came to her mouth were still swallowed back by her, and finally said in a low voice, "Since you have understood, I will not disturb your rest." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait......" Jingchen saw that Qiong'er was leaving, and hurriedly spoke to stop him.

"Huh?" Qiong'er turned her head to look at Jingchen, a complicated light flashing under her eyes.

Seeing Qiong'er's bright eyes looking at him, Jingchen suddenly felt nervous in his heart, and the words that he had the courage to say were swallowed back, and finally glanced at Qiong'er apologetically, "I'm sorry......"

Hearing Jingchen's words, the corners of Qiong'er's mouth hooked up a bitter smile, glanced at Jingchen deeply, shook her head slightly, and said, "It's nothing." After saying that, she turned around and left quickly, and a few crystal tears dripped from her delicate face, splashing a little dust.

"Qiong......" Jingchen stretched out his hand, but finally put it down weakly......

The next morning, Jingchen had breakfast, and came to the courtyard where Master Alpha was located early, and when he walked into the courtyard, he happened to see Master Alpha and Master Ou Lei sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, I don't know what they were chatting, seeing Jingchen come in, the two of them did not continue to chat.

"Xiao Chen, did you sleep well last night?" Master Alpha asked with a smile, I don't know if it was Jing Chen's own weak heart, or if Master Alpha had another deep meaning in his words, Jing Chen always felt that the teacher seemed a little strange today.

"Well, okay...... Pretty good. Jingchen nodded.

Master Alpha glanced at Jing Chen meaningfully, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the Enchantment Hall General Association, and get a level certification badge first." As he spoke, he turned his head to Master Ou Lei and said, "Old fellow, I'll take the child to go first, and when we come back, let's continue to talk, continue to talk......" As he spoke, he got up and walked towards the courtyard with Jingchen.

Seeing the backs of Master Alpha and Jingchen gradually disappearing, the corners of Master Ou Lei's mouth also hung a strange smile, and after a while, Master Ou Lei shouted, "Qiong'er......"

"Teacher. Qiong'er walked out slowly from behind the rockery on the side, this time because Qiong'er deliberately covered up her breath, so Jingchen didn't find anything unusual about this courtyard when she came, and with her own teacher and Master Ou Lei there, it was inconvenient for Jingchen to release his own perception to explore this courtyard.

"Alas. With a sigh, Ou Lei looked at his student, and after a long time, he said slowly, "Qiong'er, it's hard for you......"

Qiong'er shook her head and said, "Qiong'er's affairs should be handled by Qiong'er herself." ”

Out of the quiet courtyard, Jingchen followed Master Alpha for about half an hour, and finally came to a magnificent building, the style of this building is very different, Jingchen can't even see what kind of characteristic building this is. The towering minaret and the very abstract lobby look like a combination of the Gothic style of the Holy Church and the rugged buildings beside the 100,000 Mountains in the West, which looks very different.

"This is the general meeting of the Enchanted Hall, although in this Farland City, it is an independent area, it can be regarded as a city within a city. Rios said slowly.

Jing Chen's eyes froze, he really couldn't imagine that the status of this Enchanted Hall would be so unique, and within the capital of the French Empire, the French Empire was so tolerant, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances at the strange building. As the flow of people Jing Chen and Master Alpha came to this strange building, Jing Chen's eyes swept around, and he suddenly found that this hall was unexpectedly spacious, and many enchanters wearing enchanter's uniform came and went in this hall.

"From here, to the north, that area is the trading area, where many enchanters will trade, to the south is the testing area, where we are going this time, and to the east is the office area of the General Assembly of the Enchanted Church, which is forbidden to non-members of the General Association and invited personnel. After a brief introduction, Master Alpha took Jingchen and walked towards the south.

As he walked towards the south, Master Alpha said, "There are a lot of things traded here, and sometimes there are some very rare treasures that are sold at the reserve price, so many enchanters like to come here to hang out, and the industry calls this 'Taobao'." Rios smiled slightly and said, "I remember that when I was your age, I also liked to come here to shop for treasures, but after I left here, I rarely came here." ”

Hearing the strangeness in Alpha's voice, Jingchen glanced at Master Alpha and said with some confusion, "Teacher, why did you leave Fran City at that time?"

"Alas. Alpha sighed, groaned slightly, and said slowly, "Xiao Chen, where there are intelligent lives, there are open and secret battles, and the same is true for the Enchantment Hall, this time I brought you here to participate in the Enchanter Competition, and I don't want you to have any accidents, so you have to be more careful." ”

Jing Chen's brows furrowed slightly, at this moment he also remembered Qiong'er's words yesterday, it seems that the battle between the factions in this enchantment hall is far more fierce than he imagined, I am afraid that his teacher left Fran City in the first place, it was also because of the faction strife. Although Jingchen thought of this, he didn't ask much, on the one hand, Jingchen didn't want to mention the sadness of the teacher back then, and on the other hand, Jingchen was not so curious about these things.

When Alpha took Jingchen to the area where he had signed up for the assessment, there was already a long queue here, and it seemed that these people of the same age as Jingchen had come to participate in the Enchanter Competition. Seeing this, Alpha frowned slightly, turned his head to Jing Chen, and said, "Xiao Chen, you wait here for a while, I'll go see who is on duty today, can I be accommodating." With that, Alpha was already walking towards a corner.

Jingchen nodded in response, watched the teacher's back slowly move away, moved slightly, and sat down on the bench behind him. Over the years, Jingchen has developed a habit, when he comes to a strange occasion, he will always observe everything here for the first time, so that he knows in his heart, this bench he has seen just now, and there are many such benches in this hall. It was originally very normal to move backwards, but he felt a very soft and elastic feeling coming from his back, Jingchen couldn't help but be surprised, and secretly screamed in his heart.

"Ahh

Sure enough, just when Jing Chen secretly screamed in his heart, a woman's exclamation came from behind him, Jing Chen hurriedly turned around to look, and saw a woman passing behind him, just hit by Jing Chen, and hit her waist towards the bench. Seeing such a scene, how could Jingchen stand idly by, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab the woman's arm.

"Don't!" Seeing Jingchen's hand reaching over to grab herself, the woman exclaimed, but unfortunately it was too late, Jingchen's hand swept like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, she had already grabbed the woman's arm.

"Bang!" A soft sound, Jing Chen only felt a huge rebound force coming from his arm, and he was almost knocked down by this force when his body shook, this is nothing, Jing Chen only felt that a strange and sharp energy came into his body from his hand, the energy was extremely powerful, and it was violently impacting in his body, but fortunately Jing Chen found it in time, and the wild magic power surged out instantly, and it didn't take long for that strange energy to finally be completely eliminated under the encirclement of wild magic.

Jing Chen looked at the woman in front of him with a concerned look in shock, and saw a royal badge of the French Empire on her chest, "People from the French royal family?" Jing Chen frowned slightly and said in doubt.

The girl doesn't look too old, and it seems to be similar to Jingchen, but the girl's face is a little pale, looking a little sickly, seeing Jingchen looking at herself, the girl asked a little anxiously, "You...... Are you alright?" The girl lowered her head timidly, like a child who had made a mistake.

Jingchen's brows furrowed even deeper, originally he only thought that this girl hated herself for offending her, so she would attack herself with that weird energy, but now it seems that this girl with a pale and innocent face does not look like that kind of scheming and vicious person. Shaking off his hand, which was still a little numb and painful, Jingchen said in a deep voice, "It's okay." ”

Hearing Jingchen's answer, the girl couldn't help but glance at Jingchen secretly, from her birth to the present, those who have touched her are fine, all of them are people who are old and have reached the peak of their strength, such as Jingchen's age, she is still the first time to see it, and she can't help but ask, "Are you really okay?" There was a trace of doubt in her voice.

"I'm fine. Jingchen deliberately shook the hand that had been pulled by the girl in front of the girl.

Seeing that Jingchen was really fine, the girl breathed a sigh of relief, but the gaze that looked at Jingchen was even more weird. The two looked at each other for a long time before the girl spoke, "That'...... I'm sorry. After speaking, the girl glanced at Jingchen again, and immediately without waiting for Jingchen to speak, she turned around and ran away, and after a while, the slender figure had disappeared into the flow of people and disappeared without a trace.

Looking at the direction in which the girl disappeared, Jing Chen couldn't help but smile a little helplessly, vaguely, he felt that there must be some secret in the girl, but this secret......

"Xiao Chen, follow me...... Alpha's voice came, instantly interrupting Jing Chen's thoughts, taking a deep look at the direction where the girl disappeared, turning around and following Master Alpha, walking inside.

Jing Chen followed behind Alpha to a fully enclosed wooden door, at this moment, there were several big men standing at the wooden door, Jing Chen glanced at it slightly, and couldn't help but be stunned, these big men who guarded the door actually had the strength of level six, and at the same time he was secretly shocked in his heart, Jing Chen also had a lot of high regard for this enchantment hall.

Coming to the door, Alpha stopped, turned his head to Jing Chen, and said, "Xiao Chen, this is a special examination room for people inside the Enchantment Hall, I have already greeted people, so that you can get the certification here, but when you go in later, it may be ...... inside There may be some people who ...... "Speaking of which, Alpha didn't go on.

"What do you mean by ......?" Jingchen looked at Alpha suspiciously, he really didn't understand, why did the teacher have been a little strange since he came here.

"Alas. Alpha sighed and said, "Xiao Chen, there are also different forces in this enchantment hall, originally when our Tianyan line was at its peak, we offended many people, and now there are only a few of our masters and apprentices left in this line, and now the test here happens to be two inheritance branches that have had a holiday with our lineage, why don't we come back tomorrow?" Although he has confidence in Jingchen's strength, out of consideration for Jingchen's protection, Master Alpha has no choice but to do so.

Seeing the bitter look on the teacher's face, a cold glint flashed in Jingchen's eyes, thinking that these two inheritance branches have suppressed the teacher very badly over the years, otherwise with the strength of his own teacher, it would not be like this. Thinking of this, Jingchen smiled slightly and said, "Teacher, it's all here, can we still go back empty-handed?" I also want to see what kind of strength the other inheritance branches have, and it's good to increase their knowledge. ”

Seeing Jingchen's resolute look, Alpha froze for a moment, and then his eyes froze, and he also showed a determined look, and said, "Okay, today our teachers and students will meet them." With a hearty smile, he took Jingchen to the wooden door, and handed one of the slightly stronger men a wooden card, and the big man glanced at the other big men around him, and a few people got out of the way, and let Alpha and Jingchen enter the room.

When he came to this room, Jingchen found that this was an extremely spacious hall, but the soundproofing effect of this hall was obviously very good, at least the moment the wooden door was closed, the huge and noisy sound outside disappeared instantly, no matter how hard Jingchen tried, the noise outside could not be heard at all. At this time, there were more than a dozen people standing in the room, these people were standing in two places, obviously two groups of people, and when they saw someone coming in, the eyes of everyone in the hall were also focused on Alpha and Jingchen for the first time.

"Yo...... Isn't this the Alpha Master, what, this time you're bringing a new student?I remember that your student named Nanli can also participate in an enchanter contest, did you bring it this time?" As soon as the two of them entered the hall, a somewhat caustic voice sounded.

Jingchen's face changed slightly, his eyes followed the voice, and he saw an old man with a sharp mouth full of gray and yellow teeth at the moment, looking at Alpha and Jingchen who had just come in with some sarcasm. His gaze continued to look behind the old man, only to see four young men behind him. Jingchen looked carefully, the older one probably looked seventeen or eighteen years old, and the youngest looked less than fifteen years old, similar to himself, but the eyes of several people looking at Jingchen were full of the same sarcasm as the old man.

If there is any difference, it may be the oldest woman in red, who is seventeen or eighteen years old, her figure is quite well-developed, a pair of peach blossom eyes flashing with a touch of seductive spring, although the woman's eyes at this moment are full of sarcasm, but there is a trace of seductive charm. In the hall, except for the cold-faced woman in white clothes in the other group, the rest of the young people's eyes wandered around the private parts of this woman's body, their eyes full of greed and fiery.

Jingchen carefully observed the other team of people, the number here is relatively small, a middle-aged man led the team, followed by two men and a woman, both aged about fifteen years old, at this moment, the eyes of the two teenagers have already been attracted by the woman in red, as if they can't extricate themselves, and the eyes of the woman in red sometimes sweep over the five teenagers present, every moment, Jingchen can see the disdain and mockery that flashed in her eyes.

"Old fellow, you're finally willing to come and see our old friends. A slightly old voice sounded, Jingchen looked up, and saw an old man wearing an enchanter's robes standing in the hall, but this old man's robe was slightly different from ordinary enchanters, and there was a clear gold border at the cuffs of this robe, which looked so eye-catching.

Seeing this old man, Jingchen's heart couldn't help but move, this old man seemed to be much more sincere when he treated his teacher, as if he had not seen an old friend for many years, completely different from the old man with the sharp mouth and the middle-aged man on the other side.

"Hehe, here, I'll trouble you this time. Saying that, Alpha clenched his fists slightly, and then turned his head to Jingchen and said, "This is Master Calais, my old friend." ”

Listening to the teacher's introduction, Jingchen hurriedly bowed slightly and said, "Master Calais, hello!"

"It's a trivial matter, and it's polite to me. Saying that, Master Calais waved his hand, but I don't know what this Master Calais thought, he suddenly sighed lightly, and his eyes touched Alpha, as if he was communicating something.

"If the two masters want to talk about the past, do you want to wait for the events here to talk about it? We are very busy, and it seems that we don't have so much time to watch the two of you stand here and talk about the past. The old man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks said in a strange manner, and immediately glanced at Jingchen's chest, and couldn't help sneering, "Alas, I said Master Alpha, why are you bringing this kind of goods that have never been formally assessed in the past few years?

"It's really my first time in Française. Jing Chen said matter-of-factly, how simple and simple that look is.

Hearing this, not only did the old man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks have a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth, but even the middle-aged man and the young people brought by the two of them also glanced at Jingchen with disdain, and at this moment, they looked at Jingchen as if they were looking at a hillbilly.

His brows furrowed slightly, and Master Alpha said coldly with a gloomy face, "Your astrology is going back more and more, take care of yourself, is that how Xing Zhan taught you!" Alpha's voice was extremely cold. Seeing the appearance of Master Alpha, the old man with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks was also slightly stunned, and then smiled wryly, and didn't dare to continue, he was only a sixth-level enchanter, which was too far behind Master Alpha.

"Okay, this is the Enchanter's Guild, but it's not your own territory, and when you come here, you have to follow the rules here. Calais's gaze swept over the old man with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks and the middle-aged man opposite, paused, and said to the middle-aged man, "In the order of coming, you spirit clan will come first." As soon as Calais turned around as he spoke, the three people behind the middle-aged man hurriedly followed Master Calais's footsteps.

The three of them followed Master Calais into a wooden door behind him, and Master Calais asked, "What level of certification do you three receive?"

"Level four!" the three of them reached in unison, Calais nodded casually, and said, "Go in by yourself, there will naturally be someone inside who will test it for you." After speaking, he turned his head to look in the direction of the astrological vein, and said slowly, "The people who participated in the test in the astrological vein come here." ”

The four young men standing behind the old man slowly walked in front of Calais, and when they saw the four of them standing still, Calais opened his mouth and asked, "What level of certification are you going to accept?"

First, the two younger teenagers replied in unison, "Level three!"

Calais nodded, went all the way to the room on his right, and said, "Go ahead, there will naturally be someone in there to help you certify." ”

Then another slightly older teenager said, "Level four!"

Calais gestured to the room behind him, and the young man bowed his hand slightly towards Calais, and then turned to leave, still looking at the woman in red as he left.

"What about you?" asked Calais, looking at the woman in red with some confusion.

"Master, people want to try level five, you see......
