Chapter 22: The Golden Age of Magic

The news of Rein's magic test quickly spread through the onlookers, causing an uproar at Naria Academy.

Although he was not a student of this academy, the news still spread.

"Hey, have you heard, today a sixteen-year-old boy measured three magic attributes, one LV5, one LV2, and one LV9 dark attribute!"

"No, LV2! Also dark attributes! How old is he? ”

"I think it's like sixteen."

“…… Is it sixteen? I'm so old! ”

"Have you heard? Today, a forty-six-year-old man did a magic test and measured three attributes! LV2! There are also dark attributes! ”

"Really?"

"Really! Iverson in the next class saw it with his own eyes! ”

"Hey, hey, big news! Our academy has an adult with a dark attribute LV2! It's scary! ”

"Dark Attributes! Will he degenerate into a dark wizard? Oh my God, don't let me run into him! ”

Test messages are passed through one to two, and two to four...... The more it was rumored, the more outrageous it became, and in the end, Lei Yin was rumored to be a forty-six-year-old dark demon with LV2 dark attributes, which caused a lot of panic among the students.

And the initiator, Rein, is still sitting in the reception room of the library at the moment, quietly drinking coffee.

Rein admired the oil paintings hanging on the walls of the reception room, the knight's armor in the corner, the strange potted plants on the table, and the small library reception room, all of which showed the ancient history of Naria College.

Rein put down the cup and asked Aunt Susan, "Mother Susan, what kind of house is Naria College?" ”

Aunt Susan pinched the coffee cup, which seemed a little too small for her, thought for a moment, and said, "Nalia College...... You want me to think about where to start...... Ah, there you have it, do you know, how many high magic schools are there in the Loxia Empire? ”

Rein shook his head, he didn't know anything about the Loxia Empire, so he inquired about the news at every opportunity. He asked sincerely, "I don't know." Mother Susan, tell me more about the academy in the Loxia Empire. ”

"Well, I still know a lot about this information," said Aunt Susan, "there are two hundred and ninety-five magical colleges in the Loxia Empire. Among them, the top four colleges have always been firmly on the throne of the top colleges, and they have not been shaken for a hundred years, and they have become the four major colleges of Loxia, they are the "Royal Academy of Hagia Sophia", "Loxia Temple of Light Academy", "Naria Academy of Magic and Knights", and "Loxia Fenghua United Academy". Sometimes they go one after the other, but they all change in the top four, so let's not talk about it. ”

"The Royal Academy of Hagia Sophia is a magical and knightly academy specially established for the cultivation of heirs to the royal family, and enjoys the most abundant teaching resources and financial assistance in the Loxia Empire. In addition to the children of the royal family, the Hagia Sophia Royal Academy will also strictly select children with no background and potential from the people to enter the academy to receive teaching and cultivate the pillars of the Loxia Empire. They can become royal magicians or royal knights, in short, those who can enter have a bright future. ”

"The Loxia Temple of Light Academy, as its name suggests, is a church college that trains Light Priests and Templars for the Temple of Light. They accept more of them as ordinary children, as long as they have faith and potential, they can get the best teaching and guidance here. ”

"The 'Loxia Fenghua United Academy' is an aristocratic academy, and the nobles will rush to enter the 'Hagia Sophia Royal Academy' so that the children can get close to the future power center. But the Loxia royal family will carefully select those who can enter the royal academy, and will not let them go casually because the other party is a nobleman - of course, there are always some nobles who can do it. Those nobles who can't enter the royal academy will send their children to the "Loxia Fenghua United Academy", which is a noble academy established by the Luoxia Noble Federation, and only accepts the descendants of the nobles. Therefore, the people in this academy are all arrogant, don't mess with them if you have nothing to do. ”

After saying so much in one breath, Aunt Susan couldn't help but raise her cup and take another sip of coffee.

Rein was a little anxious and asked, "What about ...... 'Naria Academy of Magic and Knights'?" ”

Aunt Susan looked at his eager eyes and said contentedly, "The Naria Academy of Magic and Knights is an ancient magical academy with academic research at its core. At first, there was only a magic academy, but later in order to train magicians and his guardian knights, a knight academy was specially added, renamed "Naria Magic and Knight Academy". Rein: Do you know what the word "Naria" stands for? ”

Rein shook his head blankly, and Aunt Susan looked at an ancient oil painting on the wall with longing eyes and said, "Naria is an ancient magical empire that has been submerged in history, and in the era of its existence, the study of magic reached an unprecedented peak, and it was the 'golden age' of magic. Legend has it that all people at that time used magic, whether it was a royal family or a commoner, whether it was an old man or a child, they would use magic. Magic, like breathing, is an instinctive energy they are born with. Later, for some reason, the Great Tribulation struck Greenway, and the golden age of magic came to an end. The once mighty Naria Empire has also been drowned in the long river of history. ”

Aunt Susan paused for a moment with infinite longing and nostalgia in her eyes, and continued: "Later, a young man and his eight adventuring companions discovered the ruins of the royal city of the Naria Empire in a jungle, and deciphered the existence of this glorious empire and the history of the Golden Age of magic from the broken inscriptions. ”

Rein remembered the old man in the center of the library and the eight statues below, and suddenly realized, "These are the eight statues we did the magic test just now!" ”

Aunt Susan smiled and said, "That's right, he is the founder of the Narria Academy of Magic and Knights, the great legendary wizard Endymion. And his eight little friends ......"

Just as Aunt Susan was about to continue telling her story, a Hai Dongqing flew in through the window, and suddenly changed into Durantes in front of Rhine and Aunt Susan.

"Transfiguration!" Rein exclaimed in surprise.

Durant looked at him in surprise, and then said to Aunt Susan, "The dean is not in the academy today, he has gone to the royal city for an emergency meeting, and he should not be back until tomorrow." You go back first, and I'll let you know when there's news. Susan, you come out for a moment. ”

After Durant finished speaking, he walked straight out.

Aunt Susan stood up and said to Rayne, "Don't move here now. After saying that, he walked out.

Rein knew that they must have been discussing something related to themselves, and it must have something to do with the inexplicable dark attributes.

"Dark attribute LV9? Why do I have a dark magical qualification? Could it be ......" Rein suddenly remembered the black smoke that had appeared during meditation. "Is it the black smoke? Is that...... Is that my hidden dark side?! Lei Yin suddenly remembered the movies he had watched before, and the novels he had read before, and the "demons" that existed in people's hearts were mentioned in Buddhism...... Thoughts of disturbance rushed up, and his head was a mess, Rein shook his head, covered his face with one hand, and thought, "If that is the darkness hidden in my heart, in the magical world, is it embodied as the 'dark attribute'?" LV9, it shouldn't be serious...... No, if the existence of the dark attribute is due to the fact that I have a dark side, then other people should have it too! Everyone will have his dark side in his heart to a greater or lesser extent! And...... It should be that the darker the heart, the stronger the dark attribute! I'm just an ordinary normal person.,People who are more perverted than me and more evil than me should grab a lot of them.,I shouldn't be so surprised that I'm a person with LV9 dark attributes! Rein's mind kept tumbling.

"So...... Dark attributes have nothing to do with the dark side? That...... Where does my dark attribute come from? Don't...... Is it because I'm from another world? That's not right, they've had dark attributes before. Could it be ...... People who used to have dark attributes also crossed over?? ”

While Rein was thinking, Aunt Susan walked in.

"Let's go, Rhine, let's go back to the warm fireplace."

“…… Oh. Rein stood up and stepped out of the couch. Aunt Susan took a big hand around his shoulder and walked out the door with him. Aunt Susan's hands are huge and warm, making people feel safe and reliable.

Durant stood outside the door, silently watching Rein and Aunt Susan.

"That...... Thank you today, Lao Du. Now let's go back first. Aunt Susan said to Durantes.

Durant nodded and said, "Don't move around just yet." ”

"Got it, let's go!"

Aunt Susan patted Rein on the shoulder, ready to leave.

Rein hurriedly bowed to Durant and left with Aunt Susan.

When Rein was halfway through, he inadvertently turned his head, Durantes's figure was still in place, most of his face was hidden in the shadows, and he couldn't see his expression, but his eyes were darker than the dark, flashing a deep light in the shadows.

Rein shuddered and quickly turned his head.

Aunt Susan seemed to feel the same as him, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Rein shook his head and said, "Nothing. ”

Maybe it's his delusion, Durant is a good friend of Aunt Susan, a tutor at Naria College, and he shouldn't be a bad person, let alone have any ill-intentioned thoughts about him, an amateur who has nothing.

Accompanied by Aunt Susan, Rain left the majestic library.

Rein actually liked the library very much, perhaps because his childhood was spent in the company of books. The library of Naria College, like the library of the earth, has a strong aroma of books, which is the unique smell of the library. Of course, the Library of Naria is much older, more desirable, to explore, to research, to immerse yourself in the ocean of knowledge, to immerse yourself in the world of magic.

As he left the library, he looked back at the statue of Endymion in the library hall, as if to see a message of farewell to him in his kind eyes.

Rein had a hunch that he would come back again.
