An autumn in the year 1002 of the Violet calendar.

The sun is rising, and the sun is just right. It was late autumn, and there was a slight chill in the morning breeze.

Today's North Wind City is particularly lively, because an extremely special guest has come to the imperial capital, a high-level magician.

According to the custom of the Ganeman Empire, every two years, the imperial capital would send people to search for warriors, knights, and magicians throughout the empire. And the empire also has a clear rule on the age of these reserve talents: between the ages of ten and fourteen.

A month ago, several sturdy teenagers in North Wind City had been taken away by the selection officials of the Warrior Regiment and the Knights.

The children who were not selected could only hope for the selection of magicians this time. Mages are extremely lethal on the battlefield, so they have always been highly regarded in the Empire.

However, magicians have extremely high requirements for magical perception and mental power, so the number is also very rare.

Because of this, the Empire attaches great importance to every selection of magicians.

Early this morning, the square of North Wind City was already full of people, and everyone was very curious about whose lucky person would be selected for this magician selection.

Among this group of children, the most optimistic is the young master of Baron Green's family, Dylan Green.

Dylan has been extremely intelligent since he was a child, he has been learning the theory of magic from a junior magician in the City of North Wind, and he has mastered the knowledge very quickly, which can be said to be easy to understand and unforgettable.

It's just that the empire has a clear rule that no one is allowed to use magic privately before entering the magic academy to formally study magic. If it weren't for that, Dylan would have been a qualified magician by this time.

This is something that is recognized by almost the entire city of North Wind.

In that wizard audition two years ago, Dylan missed out due to his frail illness and inability to attend. This time, it's already Dylan's last chance, as he turns thirteen this year.

This time, Dylan was the finale and the last to appear.

I saw that his face was slightly pale, he looked very delicate, but his eyes revealed perseverance, and there was not the slightest emotional fluctuation on his angular face. Standing in the middle of the crowd, he looked like he was not protected by the crowd, and a slightly stronger gust of wind could blow him away.

With the expectation in his eyes, Dylan slowly walked to the table in front of him. Prior to this, two children had successfully completed the magic test and were qualified to practice magic.

I saw that on the long table, from left to right, there were five magic stones of different colors.

At this time, he was very nervous, and his rapid breathing and accelerated heartbeat proved this.

Dylan picked up the first red Flame Stone first, which he gently held in the palm of his hand, but the red Stone did not change at all.

It stands to reason that if Dylan had the talent to practice fire magic, the flame magic stone should glow brightly. But it was clear that fire magic wasn't for him.

There was a burst of exclamations from the crowd.

This was followed by the white Wind Stone with no change, the Blue Water Stone with no change, and the gray Earth Stone with no change.

"Ahh

You must know that Dylan Green's mother used to be a holy light magister, and it can be said that she has achieved brilliant achievements, which has made countless people admire and be in awe. It's just that in the battle to slay the dragon twelve years ago, this great magister unfortunately died heroically, and many people feel extremely sorry for this.

At this time, Dylan was already sweating profusely, and his soaked palm slowly stretched out to the last golden Holy Light Magic Stone.

One second, two seconds, three seconds... The beautiful golden magic stone still didn't react.

I don't know how long it took, and finally someone in the crowd shouted: "Look, he is actually a stone, it turns out that the young master of the Green family is a stone who cannot become a magician." ”

"Oh my God, you know, our Baroness is a famous Holy Knight, and the Baroness was once a Light Magister!

"In such an aristocratic family, the son can't become a warrior, a knight, or a magician, that should bring shame to the entire family!"

With the first exclamation, the crowd exploded all at once, because no one expected that Young Master Dylan, whom they had high hopes for, turned out to be a "stone"!

What is a "stone"? A "stone" is an ordinary civilian who cannot become a warrior, a knight, or a magician.

Dylan stared blankly at the last magic stone in his hand, not saying a word.

Shock and unwillingness, guilt and shame, all kinds of emotions are intertwined, making him stand there and overwhelmed.

At this time, hearing all kinds of discussions around him, Dylan Green could only bury his head in it.

At this time, he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into. I was pinned on by everyone, but I was destined to be an ordinary person!

A sour and humiliating feeling welled up, tears kept rolling in his eyes, and Dylan finally let go of the Holy Light Demon Stone in his hand.

"Why am I so useless, do I really want to live to death without accomplishments, can I only be like those self-depraved nobles in the city, gnawing on everything that my ancestors have bought with blood and military exploits?" Dylan thought of this, and his hands couldn't help but clench again, and then he fell down with a low sob, and slammed his fists on the ground, and the blood quickly stained his hands red.

With sighs, discussions, and whispered ridicule, the crowd dispersed.

And the magician who came all the way from the imperial capital also shook his head helplessly, it seems that there will be stones among the nobles who cannot serve the empire, what a pity.

In the end, he only dropped one sentence: "The two children who passed the test just now should pay attention, three days later, in the early morning, a knight escort will come to pick them up, and you must not be late then." ”

With that, the haughty High Magician sat down on a very beautiful unicorn and left without looking back.

Dylan was still lying on the ground, crying quietly, unwilling to believe that what had just happened was true.

At this moment, a pair of big hands gently placed on Dylan's shoulders, and a kind voice sounded: "Child, it's okay, even if you can't become a magician, you can still become another great profession in the Violet Continent." ”

When Dylan heard this, his heart reached its peak, and he cried and threw himself into his father's arms, allowing tears to continue to gush out.

His father, a great holy knight, Aofeng Green, could only caress his son's back at this time and whispered comfortingly: "Son, no matter what your achievements are in the future, you will always be the best son in my heart!"

Dylan forcibly controlled his almost broken emotions and said intermittently, "But father, I... I don't want to be a liability, I don't want to... I don't want to be a shame for the Green family!"

Ao Feng said softly: "There are so many great people in our Ganeman Empire, not all of them are warriors, knights or magicians, there are many masters of different professions. Such as foundries, alchemists, and so on. So we should not lose hope for the future, and we must face all difficulties bravely. ”

Seeing that his son still hadn't eased up, Ao Feng couldn't help but tone a little stern: "Child, you have to understand a truth, tears can never solve the problem. Only by standing up bravely and solving problems with actions can you be a real man! You know, if your mother is still alive, she definitely doesn't want to see such a weak son. ”

As soon as he heard the word "mother", Dylan quickly stopped sobbing, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands, took a deep breath, and said a little choked: "So what should I do now?"

Could it be that all the magical knowledge he has learned over the years has been in vain?
