Winter in Dalaran passed quickly......

In fact, if you stay in the city all the time, you will hardly feel the presence of the cold.

Because of the protective magic of the city, the climate of the entire Dalaran has been artificially controlled, both in the hottest and coldest times. The seasons are like spring, and it's no joke.

And when the snow melts on the distant Alterac Mountains, you can know that spring is coming.

Spring is also the most restless time in the whole of Dalaran.

Many mages will also choose to leave Dalaran at this time! Perhaps they felt that they had no hope of reaching a higher position on the arcane path, and chose to leave; Perhaps it was the performance of the past few years that had completely disappointed the Mentor and dissolved the apostolic relationship between them......

There is also a group of mages who will go through all the formalities at this time and get the seal of the Council of Six...... They officially got rid of their student status and became an archmage of the Six Rings!

Many of the vacancies for the mentors' disciples will be freed up, and it will be an opportunity for those "wandering mages" who are struggling in Dalaran.

Carlin could even clearly feel the restlessness of those "companions" during this time in the Violet Library, the square, and the training ground!

"This time I must behave well and make an adult take a fancy to me......"

"What should I do, if I fail again this time and don't find a mentor, I will have to go back to Lordaeron to be an advisor to Earl Agamandel!"

"Did you know that at this time of year, Kenrito organizes us to conduct a mental power test, and it is said that mages with unsatisfactory test results will lose their qualifications to become an official student of Dalaran......

……

Discussions like this are heard every day.

"Mr. Carlin, how do I feel that you are not in a hurry at all?" The questioner was the dwarf Sorier, the owner of the "Pigs and Whistles" hotel.

After getting along with Dalaran for more than half a year, the relationship between him and Carlin is already very familiar.

"What's the use of being in a hurry!" Carlin said calmly.

"Looks like you're on the verge of it?" Soriel asked in a low voice.

What the dwarf said was not true, and Carlin knew that if he had been in the same situation when he first came to Dalaran last year, it would have been difficult for him to find a mentor this time!

But he didn't care much anymore! In his opinion, an ordinary six-ring and seven-ring mage, even if he became his own mentor, might not be able to provide him with much useful guidance...... It's better to continue to discuss with such penances and at the same time!

The threshold of the Fourth Ring Road is still untouched, but it is far from being as far away as before...... Carlin knows that now he only needs to accumulate and wait!

An owl flew quietly to the window of Carlin's cabin, and a well-sealed letter was dropped on his desk.

Carlin picked it up, then hurriedly opened it.

It's an invitation, an invitation to a mental power test.

It seems that the rumor I heard before is true?

The time of the test is this afternoon, and the location seems somewhat familiar, but I can't remember it for a while.

"Soriel, bring me two glasses of good Alterac fresh orange juice, I need a pick-me-up!" Carlin walked out of the hut and shouted downstairs.

"Okay......" After a while, the familiar voice of the dwarf came from downstairs.

……

Five minutes earlier than the time had been agreed on the invitation, Carlin arrived at the agreed place, in front of a hut.

With the addition of myself, there are already sixty mages crowded here...... And it looks like I'm supposed to be the last one to arrive.

Five minutes later, a young dwarven mage walked out:

"Guys, don't be nervous! This is not a test for future students, but a simple mental test to test your efforts in Dalaran over the past year! The dwarven mage spoke slowly, and he said, "Please line up one by one, and come in with me." My mentor will help you test your mental power in the front. ”

The crowd consciously formed a long line, and since Carlin was the last to arrive, he naturally pulled at the back of the line.

The mage, who was in first place, walked in under the guidance of the dwarven mage...... After about three minutes, he walked out again, holding a blank piece of paper in his hand.

Looking at his expression, he was very disappointed, and it seemed that his performance in this test was not very good.

The elf's eyesight is very good, even if it is not close, Carlin can vaguely see that the white paper in the mage's hand has a "four" written on it!

What does this mean for four points? Is it a 10-point or 100-point system?

The second mage walked in and stayed inside for five minutes...... When he came out again, there was a little joy on his face.

On the white paper in his hand, a "six" character was written!

So, it should be 10 points!

One mage after another, led by the dwarven mage, walked into the hut......

However, most of them came out with a depressed face, and a few people got "six points" and "seven points", and they were elated when they came out!

The one with the highest score is a fairly beautiful girl...... Her score was "eight", and her face was written with a bit of pride.

As the crowd dispersed, Carlin knew it was his turn.

"Last one...... Elves, come with me! ”

Following the dwarf's pace, Carlin stepped into the hut.

"It's you, you're still in Dalaran?" A surprised voice came from ahead, somewhat familiar.

Carlin looked up, and suddenly understood why the place where the hut was located felt so familiar.

He bent down and whispered, "Hello, Lord Caleri! ”

The "mentor" in charge of the test this time was the dwarf mage Gilbert Caleri who had rejected him.

"Let's go sit over there!" The dwarf mage quickly returned to normal, gesturing to a seat in front of him.

Carlin sat down, then closed his eyes, as the dwarf mage had requested.

"Attention, I'm going to carry out a mental attack on you, please strengthen your defense!"

At the moment when the dwarf mage's words fell, Carlin suddenly felt a strong attack in his mind.

The other party is a six-ring mage, and his spiritual power must be much higher than his own...... However, this time it was only a test, and the other party used about 10% of mental power at most.

Karin tensed his body and began to resist the attack of this spiritual force......

…… After about ten minutes, Carlin's whole body relaxed, and he couldn't resist it!

"Not bad!" The dwarf mage glanced at Carlin in some surprise: "Compared to the last time you saw you, your progress is not small!" ”

A blank piece of paper was handed to Carlin, and it read: "Eight points"!
