"Master. Zhou Lie turned around, bowed slightly, bowed and said, "I took this kind of test in Babylon two years ago, but there was no response, so I won't test it again, and you let me take the test first specifically for me, and the students at the back of the queue must feel unfair, so it's better to be exempt." ”

Wilson squinted his eyes, he confirmed that there was a faint magic fluctuation on the other party's body, this is a very amazing thing, ordinary people through meditation, perceive the elements and successfully manipulate them, it is impossible to have magic fluctuations before, so he is very sure that this boy has been able to manipulate a certain degree of elementals, although the fluctuations are small, but years of experience have told Wilson that he does not feel wrong.

Is it a genius of his own? This is Wilson's first instinct, although it has something to do with the matter that the consul mentioned before, and more importantly, Wilson doesn't want to miss such a well-qualified disciple, but the other party's expression doesn't look like he is lying, which makes him hesitate a little.

"Teacher, I tried it for him in the morning, but there was no response. Layla's voice came from behind Wilson.

"Are you sure?" the old magister looked at his disciple suspiciously, if this was true, he was dazzled.

"Yes, the elemental crystal has been playing with him for a long time without changing. Layla said with a somewhat helpless tone and a face full of regret, "It's a pity that someone as interesting as him can't come to the magic capital." ”

The old magister looked at Layla's expression, and then carefully observed next Zhou Lie, and found that the magic fluctuation of the smile he sensed earlier had indeed disappeared.

"I guess I'm really dazzled. The old man laughed at himself, then waved his hand and said, "In that case, forget it and let the boy go." ”

After receiving his teacher's order, the apprentice who had been standing in front of Zhou Lie reluctantly let go, and Zhou Lie left the auditorium and turned sideways and nodded slightly to Layla.

The Great Hall test lasted two hours, and in the end, only ten people in the entire Santa Fes Academy were tested to have elemental affinity, and they would be stepping into the temple of magic in half a year.

In order to celebrate Stella's test of magic adaptability, Zhou Lie and his party went to the tavern to hold a small celebration, and the four of them, who had worked together in the student council for two years, drank a lot of ale, and finally the four of them almost supported each other before they barely returned to their rooms before the dormitory closed.

In a reception room in a government hall, Wilson looked at an ancient book under the light, this time he came to the city to recruit apprentices, and the harvest was the same as expected, only one of the ten children with elemental affinities named Stella was a girl with special talents and rare mental adaptability, and the rest of the people had some affinity, but the degree was not high, I am afraid that they would only be quasi-magicians for the rest of their lives, and if they did not have special insights and visions, they should not be able to go further.

And the oriental boy named Zhou Lie has been difficult to disappear from his mind, although Layla said that he has no qualifications, but the more he recalls the magic fluctuations when he saw that boy, the more he feels that it is not like a mistake.

The old man sighed, although he had the title of a magic master, but he only had four disciples, even the extremely talented Layla, in fact, he was not taught by himself, and those three apprentices were really not successful, they had not been able to become a quasi-magician from the title of apprentice, and they were not qualified to travel in the mainland, so this time Wilson still had the selfish intention of finding himself a student with good qualifications.

What if the Oriental boy named Zhou Lie was really qualified, and he was wrong in the test two years ago, so he lost this opportunity? What if Layla took the wrong crystal ball? As soon as this kind of thought came out, he could no longer suppress it, and only Zhou Lie's figure was left in his mind.

"The master has been waiting for a long time. Augustus knocked on the door of the room and saluted Wilson, who was contemplating in his seat.

"Hmm. Wilson let out a faint snort from his nose, as if he didn't realize the arrival of the city's administrator, and was still contemplating to himself.

The male apprentice on the side apologized to Augustus apologetically, "The teacher will be like this when he is meditating, please don't care about it, Archon." ”

Augustus waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care, in Augustus's opinion, these magisters were all people who were beyond ordinary people, and some quirks were tolerable.

It was only after the apprentice's reminder that Wilson awoke from his contemplation, and it was then that he remembered why he was in this Consulate.

"I have received a confidential letter from the Prime Minister, and I will naturally cooperate in this matter. Wilson said.

"Well, in two days I will personally negotiate with the leader of the rebels in Old Street, and I hope that the master will make sure that the contents of the box have been leaked, and I will ask the master to help. Ao said respectfully.

"I know it's flames, and Shui is my apprentice, and as long as he can find the location, he can't escape. Wilson said confidently.

"It would be nice to have the master's assurance, so that we can also fulfill the task of the Prime Minister. After Augustus got the other party's assurance, he suddenly felt relaxed, in order to deal with the affairs of the old street in the past few days, he was busy with anxiety, "I don't know if there is anything I need help with here, at least in this city, I can still do something."

When Wilson heard this, he thought of Zhou Lie again, and immediately asked, "In Santa Fes College, there is a student named Zhou Lie, he is an Oriental, do you know?"

Augustus was stunned for a moment, he seemed to have a little impression of the name Zhou Lie, and asked his subordinates to bring the registration book, and after checking it, he remembered what the identity of the owner of this name was, "I know that this student's actual identity is a prince of the Xia Kingdom, and two years ago he said that he hoped to travel to our empire, so he entered the Santa Fes Academy to study." ”

"Why isn't he in Babylon?" Wilson keenly grasped the paradoxical oddity.

Augustus said with an embarrassed face, "Because the emperor and the ministers of the country didn't understand this matter at the beginning, they just felt that the other party's prince was very obstructive to study in his own capital, so he sent it here, and he didn't know the other party's meaning until the prime minister returned from the front, but it was too late,"

This reason made the old magus cry and laugh, daring to love was that Xia Guo had always been strong, so that these people did not realize the significance of the other party's prince coming to his country.

"Why did the master suddenly mention Zhou Lie?" asked Augustus.

The old magister glanced at Augustus and said slowly, "I feel a wave of magic power in him, but according to him and my apprentice Layla, he is not qualified to learn magic, so I wonder if he is a special natural disaster, and the test method of relying on elemental crystals alone is not very effective." ”

"He did test it in Babylon two years ago, and he really couldn't learn magic, so that's good, and I have a file on him here. Augustus consulted Zhou Lie's records and replied, "And, even if he can learn magic, I don't think it is appropriate for him to enter Tionlis because of his status."

"What's so inconvenient. Augustus's latter answer made Wilson feel angry: "We never look at the background of our apprentices, don't forget our purpose, and we are only in partnership with the empire after all, think about how your empire made its fortune!"

"I don't know how the empire got rich, because I'm Portia, not Marston. Augustus said lightly.

"Huh!"

When the old magus heard this, he stood up angrily and walked towards the door, and the voice of Augustus behind him slowly came, "I will send someone to pick up the master when the time comes, please be ready for the master in the next few days." ”

The three apprentices followed the old demon master out of the government hall, and along the way, the old demon master walked like a fly, and a gust of wind rolled everywhere he passed, and the three apprentices behind him struggled to catch up with the old man's speed.

Arriving at the door of the inn, Wilson stopped to look at the apprentices who had been left behind him, and when they finally caught up, he was reprimanded.

"What capital do you have to be proud of? Don't you think I haven't seen your performance in the academy? A tall man is taller than a swan, and he looks down on those people, and it's a shame to see that you are still an apprentice!"

The three apprentices didn't dare to breathe when they were scolded, and after Wilson scolded him, he was in a slightly relaxed mood, waved his robe sleeves, and walked into his room on the second floor of the hotel.

"The teacher is back. Layla's energetic voice sounded from the door, and Wilson saw Layla's blue hair swinging and jumping in, and his mood suddenly changed a lot, and he touched Layla's head with a doting face.

"Teacher, can I walk around the city these days?" Layla walked around Wilson's back, her little hand slowly pinched the old man's shoulder, Wilson felt the powerful massage of his shoulder, nodded and agreed, "Of course you can, my little Layla, but in a few days, we will have a mission, do you remember what we said before we left?"

Layla nodded, "Of course, there is a mad magician in Auslin who set fire to him, and we are here to capture him. ”

"It's not capture, it's elimination. The old man said solemnly, "This is the starting point of your travels, according to tradition, I will take you to complete a mission, and then you choose your travel route, until you think you can, you can return to Tionlis to be tested, your teacher and I spent six years traveling the continent and going through many battles to have the title of Magister, but I believe that you need much less time than me." ”

Layla stopped her massage and nodded slowly.

The old man turned his head and saw the expression on Layla's face, and said with pity, "It's really hard for you to let you meet a battle against people for the first time, and I was just a teacher who took me to dispel the demonic beasts, but you must know that people with great ability must take on important things." ”

"I see. Layla nodded obediently and said, "But can't you just grab the other party and lecture him well?"

Wilson shook his head.

"You've been in the academy for too long and don't know the dangers of the outside world, which is why would-be magicians need to go out and practice. Wilson said, "You must know that many brave patrols and soldiers have died at the hands of this magician, so it is up to us to eradicate such powerful sinners." ”

"I understand. Layla clasped her little hand and said, "I'll try." ”
