Chapter 50: Final Assessment
Winterhold, in the mage academy, middle-aged people can't see the sun, and people are only accompanied by wind and snow and oppressive weather, and the method of judging the time is basically based on work and rest except for the magic clock on the bridge leading to the mage academy in winterhold.

There are not many students who have passed the first two tests, more than 50, and less than one-third of the number of people who have signed up. After defeating the invading Figoro, the trainees were arranged to rest in the Temple of Knowledge according to the plan, and after dinner, they would go to the third test.
The protective shield of the Mage Academy blocked the wind and snow outside, and there was not a trace of wind in the courtyard, Wei Xu, who had just finished dinner, stood on the edge of the corridor in a daze, looking at the churning sea of snow below. This world still gives Wei Xu a strange sense of unknown, he knows nothing but that he knows that Alduin will return, except for the novelty of his thoughts, he is no different from the aborigines of this world, and he has no confidence in the future. If it weren't for the critical time when Yubu appeared with an angry ghost today, he would have become a corpse puppet by now, right? He didn't dare to guarantee what would happen in the future, Wei Xu even felt that he might die before he even saw the dragon's shadow!
"What's wrong?" In the conscious sense, there is a person who is close to him.
"Ah...... That Mage-sama, I'm a student who has passed the first two levels, Tyne. This imperial young man was a little flustered by Wei Xu's gaze.
"What are you looking for me?" Wei Xu raised his eyebrows, looking for him at this time, it is estimated that unless it is an emergency, it will not be a good thing.
The young man of the empire looked left and right and saw that there was no one around, so he took out a full pocket from his arms, and the crisp sound of metal colliding in it made Wei Xu guess what it was for.
"Sir, as long as you tell me what the exam questions are tonight, this bag of gold coins is yours." The Imperial Youth gently shook the money bag, making a ding-dong sound inside, and there were a hundred gold coins in this volume.
"Hehe, take it back, even if you know, I won't tell you anything, even if you tell it, it's useless for you." Wei Xu waved his hand at the young man of the empire, and then turned to look at the wind and snow outside the academy, this snow is so big, it must be a snow disaster or something on the earth, Wei Xu couldn't help but think of his former home.
"Sir, how about two bags?" The young man of the empire thought that the price he had given was not enough, and took out another bag of gold coins.
"I said, please get out of here! This is already a serious violation of discipline for you to bribe the examiner, and if you are a first-time offender, go back to your resting place immediately, and I will not blame you in the past! Wei Xu was a little angry when he was harassed by this imperial youth.
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry to disturb Mr., I'll go back." Seeing that Wei Xu was a little annoyed, the imperial youth hurriedly compensated Wei Xu, and then left here, and continued to wander around other places with his retinue of female warriors, probably looking for other assistants to see if he could know the exam questions in advance.
No matter where there will be such people who break the rules, Wei Xu shook his head.
"What's wrong, boss?" Just when Robben came out of the kitchen, he walked towards Wei Xu with a roast leg of lamb in his hand and saw the young man of the empire leaving.
"Somebody wants to go through the back door. Robben, you're still eating! Wei Xu saw the leg of mutton in Robben's hand, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless, he went to the kitchen with Robben, under normal circumstances, he could go to the kitchen by himself to get something to eat, if someone in the assistant or archmage forgot to eat, the kitchen would arrange for a servant to send it over, don't think how could you forget to eat, it is basically common for an archmage like Tuo Lao to forget to eat.
"Warriors have to draw energy from food, how to show strength if you don't eat more, boss, I think you eat too little, really, this will hinder the growth of strength." Wei Xu didn't expect Robben to be serious about educating others, and the object of this education was still himself!
Wei Xu, who was a little helpless, saw that Tovdil was about to go out with Niraya and another mentor, and greeted him and asked, "Tuo Lao, are you going to set up the venue?" ”
"That's right, that old fellow at Savos, look at my body bones, I made it yesterday, and now let me go." Tovdill said helplessly, his tone full of dissatisfaction with Savos.
"Haha, you say this to the Chief Archmage, don't be afraid that I will tell him, I am the assistant of the Chief Archmage." Wei Xu replied to Tovdil with a smile.
"You? Cut, if you want to tell him, just say it, I don't care, old man. Tuo Lao was very speechless at Wei Xu's lifting of the bar, and retorted.
"Don't tease you to be old, let Robben go with you, so as to keep you safe." Wei Xu didn't entangle with Tovdil either, and diverted the topic.
"Hmm...... Okay, Robben, you kid come with me. Tovdill originally wanted to refuse, but thinking of the cooperation between the necromancer and the warrior's corpse today, he felt that it would be better to let Robben follow him, and he wouldn't even have a chance to fight back if he encountered any danger. Robben looked at Wei Xu a little unwillingly, and after being glared at by Wei Xu, he reluctantly followed the three of Tovdil.
The final assessment time in the evening is eight o'clock, and the temple of knowledge also has a clock, and many students gather here before eight o'clock to discuss tonight's assessment items one by one. At this time, the sun had already set, and only the magic of the Mage Academy was emitting a soft glow that lit up the entire square.
"Tonight is the final assessment, and those who pass the examination will be eligible to stay in the Mage Academy for further study. Here, I would like to solemnly remind you that this assessment is dangerous to your lives, now give you a chance to opt out, quit now, our Mage Academy will give you a spell book for the apprentice level according to your learning direction, and there will be some notes and insights attached to the book. Savos solemnly addressed the fifty or so people who had already arrived.
After saying this, Wei Xu found that three people immediately withdrew, one of whom was the imperial youth who came to find Wei Xu this evening. It seems that he already knows what he wants to know, in this assessment, except for Wei Xu, Mirabelle, and other archmages, all the other assistants only know half of them.
"Okay, it looks like the rest of the people are going to continue to be evaluated, and our assessment is, jump from here, fall into the sea of the dead, and survive to pass! Falling on a reef and dying is a failure! Savos pointed to the ledge of the cloister. The students below were silent, and now at this point, it was pitch black when they looked out of the window, and whether they jumped down was life or death was completely dependent on luck!
"The road to becoming an archmage is hard and bumpy, but there is one thing that must be done! That's luck, without luck, no matter how talented you are, you will become a corpse! That being said, you have the right to withdraw now, but there will be no compensation for those who quit now. For the rest of you who want to become an archmage, my two assistants and I will be waiting for you below! Later, Master Sparrow will be in charge of the organization. Seeing that the students were frightened by this assessment, Savos was stunned one by one, and spoke again.
Wei Xu on the side pursed his lips, what the old man said was the same as the truth. Seeing that Savos had already stood on the windowsill and turned around to signal to them, Wei Xu had no choice but to take Mirabelle's delicate little hand and walk to the windowsill. Although they knew that there would be no problem jumping down, the two of them were still a little nervous, Wei Xu was a little better, so he regarded this as a bungee jump in his previous life, and his mood was not so resistant, Mirabelle was just a big girl after all, and he knew that the result was a little weak.
Savos took Wei Xu and Mirabelle to jump down first is also a small hint to the students, I don't know if anyone can see it, at this time, in fact, Tovdil has already arranged the landing area below, and it is no problem to jump.
When Savos saw the two coming, he turned around and waved to the students, and lay straight back and fell down, causing several female students to scream in fear. Mirabelle's whole person was already paralyzed on Wei Xu's body, Wei Xu wanted her to stay and not go down, but now it was a situation where the arrow had to be sent on the string, if it didn't go down, it was inevitable that some of these students would say that the assistant and some people didn't dare to go down, why should they dare to ask.
Wei Xu carried Mirabel onto the windowsill, and without looking back, he jumped high and plunged down headfirst like diving, and the cold wind mixed with ice flakes and snowflakes came towards him......
