"What? you, you actually put Dylan's name on it?" Donald looked shocked.

Looking at the unkind eyes of the other people in the tavern, Stephen hurriedly said, "Fatty, you have a quieter voice!"

Donald quickly covered his mouth.

Dylan's face was calm, and he couldn't see any mood swings.

Stephen was a little uneasy: "Dylan, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to reveal your identity, but the vice president promised me at that time that no matter what you did then, he would stand up and protect you, so I wrote your name on it." ”

Dylan didn't blame Stephen in the slightest: "It's okay, I know you're not trying to hurt me." In fact, I thought about it carefully, it's not a matter for me to keep hiding like this, you know, sooner or later, I will be exposed, just take this opportunity to borrow the protection of the vice president and confess my identity, so that I don't need to hide it in the future. ”

Stephen didn't expect that Dylan seemed to have the idea of confessing his identity for a long time.

"Dylan, have you really thought about it? You know, the empire has banned shadow magic more than ten years ago, if you do expose it, will it be dangerous?" Stephen was still a little worried.

Donald on the side also said: "Yes, Dylan, it may be really inappropriate to do this, in front of so many people, using shadow magic, I think it will definitely shake the entire imperial capital." When the time comes, if the court forcibly wants to arrest people, and the vice president does not dare to stand up, what will be done?"

Stephen and Donald looked at Dylan in unison.

"Don't worry, not to mention that the vice dean's reputation in the academy has always been very good, but even if he doesn't speak for me, there will always be someone in this imperial capital who is willing to help me speak. "Dylan seems to be confident.

"Who?" asked the two in unison.

Dylan smiled indifferently: "My teacher." ”

Stephen and the others suddenly realized.

"yes, how did we forget your teacher, Master Rick. He has a decisive influence in the imperial capital, and as long as he is willing to stand up, the Inquisition will never dare to do anything to you. Donald's face suddenly lightened a lot.

Stephen was still a little uneasy: "However, the laws of the empire in recent years have been extremely strict, and it is a felony to use shadow magic, will even your teacher not be able to protect you at that time?"

Dylan didn't care at all: "The laws of the empire are indeed very strict, but in the process of implementation, most of them are aimed at the common people, because the laws are revised by the nobles, where will they embarrass themselves? ”

"Moreover, I have also heard that the champion of the evaluation competition every year can make a request, and as long as this request is not excessive, it will generally be met by the empire. I happen to have a small request, which may be a small thing for the Empire, but it is a big thing for me!" Dylan said, his eyes full of determination.

In this way, in the next three days, the three of them went to the backyard of the blacksmith shop to practice cooperation whenever they had time, of course, not really using magic, but simulating battle scenes. In this way, the tacit understanding between the three of them is getting higher and higher!

Three days have passed in a flash, and the college's assessment will start this afternoon.

In the attic of Gomore's blacksmith's shop.

"Dylan, I'd love to see you take the test. I've been in the Imperial Capital for several years, and every year I hear from Master Rick about the wonderful performance of those young geniuses in the evaluation competition. It's hard for you to participate this year, and I really want to see it. But I can't help it, I'm just a "demon" that everyone will fear and disgust when they see it. At this point, Colin's eyes were full of loss and inferiority.

Dylan touched Colin's little head: "Don't worry, I'll take you over this time." And you won't have to stay in this loft anymore. ”

"Really?" said Colin, cheering almost instinctively, his eyes lit up. But it quickly returned to normal, pouting and saying, "No, Uncle Rick will be very angry." Have you forgotten what happened last time? We secretly ran out to play in the snow, and when we came back, we were scolded by my uncle. ”

Dylan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll do what I say this time." As for the teacher, I'll fix it. ”

With that, Dylan hurried down the attic.

"No, absolutely not!" Rick said with an angry face, "Did you know that once Colin is found, he will be sent to the pit again?" It's dark there, and Colin needs to survey the veins day and night, and he'll either be crushed to death or exhausted, and you can't bear to watch it die there?"

Dylan was unusually firm this time: "Teacher, when the time comes, even if you take Colin to the tournament field, I will be responsible for its safety." Don't worry, in my heart, Colin is like my brother, and I will never let him be hurt!"

With that, Dylan walked out the door and headed in the direction of the tournament.

At this time, it was still noon, and the largest martial arts training ground in the imperial capital, "Spartan Martial Arts Field", was already full of people and extremely lively, except for the aristocratic area close to the front row, the other audience seats were basically full at this time.

The aristocrats are always like this, and they will drag on until the last minute to appear, making them more noble and special. But I don't know that the civilians don't care when they will play, they only care about who can stand out after the change of the assessment rules this year.

"Who do you think will be the champion this year?"

"That must be Young Master Roddick of the Brant family, I heard that he just broke through to become a fourth-level magician not long ago, and now he is at the head of his arrogance, thinking that he will definitely be a member of the champion group. ”

"That's not necessarily, have you forgotten that many of the champions in previous years' evaluations are not the most optimistic students, and they are often those who are very strong, but not the highest. ”

"That's it, except for the terrible fire mage of the Van family from three years ago. She was the most favored that year, and she did win the final championship. ”

"The academy will only give students two years to study, and whoever can make the fastest progress in these two years will be the first in the academy!"

The students of the academy have not yet entered, but the audience has already been talking.

In their opinion, the annual college assessment is a grand festival, and after the assessment, the results of the assessment will also become their after-dinner conversation, and such a topic will last for a long, long time.

With a commotion in the crowd, the students of the academy finally entered one by one, and behind them were the magic instructors of the academy.

Magicians have an innate temperament and charm that can induce a sense of awe.

Commoners naturally rarely had the opportunity to meet so many magicians or even magic teachers in normal times, and for a while, the entire Spartan arena was filled with bursts of applause and cheers.
