"Capeland" Island is an island in the southeast of the mainland, less than 150 miles away from the mainland, with an area about half the size of Kyoto City, with a pleasant climate and beautiful scenery, and is a famous resort for the San Jose royal family. Every year the royal family comes here for a holiday, and the rest of the time, the island is only filled with court magicians.

The court magicians have a small testing ground on the island. It is said that this proving ground is a relic of the Magic Empire era, and it is not large, but spiritual magicians can use their magic to activate this mysterious testing ground.

After activation, it is said that the test site can expand into an infinite space, and it can simulate a variety of terrain and place various simulated creatures. People in the testing ground don't feel fake, everything is real, they will be tired, hungry and painful, so this natural but mysterious place has always been the best choice for court magicians to try.

Upon reaching the seashore in the southeast corner of the mainland, Koster, Feda, and Lolita boarded a royal light boat on the shore. On the ship, a young mage was already waiting there, along with several other mage apprentices. They are all heirs of other court magicians.

It was the young mage who told everyone the history of the island of Cape Land and the origin of the mysterious testing ground on the ship.

The royal light boat under the sea breeze, sailing briskly with the wind, is a hundred miles away day and night. At noon the next day, at the end of the endless sea level, Kester saw a patch of land slowly appear.

Koster and Feida, this time accompanied by Lolita's maid and attendant, I don't know if it was Mage Setie who greeted him, or if Lolita's identity was known, the people on the ship obviously did not feel strange about the appearance of the two, and even the young mage took the time to ask Koster about "the princess's preferences".

Lolita's experience in the past two years has really been a blessing in disguise, and now it seems that she has become a princess, at least, nominally.

The royal light boat slowly approached the shore, and there was a group of people waiting on the shore. Kester immediately recognized the crowd as Mage Setty, a beautiful woman in her thirties, dressed in a gold-trimmed white high-level court mage robe, waiting gracefully on the shore, her blonde hair tossed by the sea breeze.

The court magicians were waiting on the beach, and Kerst guessed that they were the guides of the apprentices on board (Note 1). As he expected, after a group of young people got off the boat, they walked up to a certain magician, bent down to salute, and Lolita also hugged Master Set.

The short welcome ceremony was soon over, and the young mage on the royal light boat parted with the others. Several young apprentices, led by their respective masters, walked into the royal court mage testing ground.

The test ground, as a testing ground for court magicians, exudes an aura of mystery. The whole building is made of giant stones, and the surface of the stone is carved with various mysterious symbols. Kester and Feda were left in the rest room outside the testing grounds, and Lolita gave them a "reassured" look and followed Mage Sytie inside.

When she entered the room, Lolita found that an old man dressed in a purple-rimmed gold robe (Note 2) was already waiting in the room. Several official mages saluted the old man after entering the house, calling them "Great Demon Mentor Ann". Lolita reacted, this is the leader of the court magicians, the "Grand Magus".

The Grand Magus himself was a kind old man, and he looked at the apprentices with a smile, "Hehe, all the mages, it looks like they have found a good inheritor." The mages laughed.

After the joke, the archmage motioned for everyone to be quiet, "The mage trial is an assessment of our court magicians, and if you pass the mage trial, you can become an official court magician, and you can wear the same white robe as your guide." But I'm wearing a purple-edged gold robe, you still have to work hard, hahaha. ”

The Grand Magister is really an old man who likes to joke, he made another joke, Lolita was depressed, and he didn't dare to say it, and looked at a few young people around him, and sure enough, they were all the same as himself, a little overwhelmed.

The Grand Magus continued: "The so-called trial is to let you enter this testing ground, and the testing ground will be controlled by our spirit mages to create a different experimental illusion, and what you have to do is to use the magical abilities you have learned to deal with this environment. Different people will encounter different situations. ”

A young apprentice raised his hand to signal that there was a problem, and the archmage said kindly, "What is your problem, this classmate?"

The apprentice didn't panic either, "Archmagister, what will happen to us?"

"This varies from person to person, and the factors that affect it are probably the type of magic you practice, the level of your magic power, and even your heart. Among your guides, I have heard that there are those who have encountered raging bears, those who have encountered desert environments without a drop of water, and even those who have encountered naked beauties. ”

"Archmage, what did you encounter, back then. Some students were curious.

The Grand Magus was stunned for a moment, then smiled evilly, "I, I haven't met it." Because this trial was developed by me, in the past, our court magicians came here, mainly for vacation, hahahaha. ”

Lolita felt 10,000 fiery wolves running through her heart (Note 3), and she clearly felt that this archmage was too improper.

After explaining everything to the apprentices, the Archmage left the trial room. The rest of the apprentices came to a deacon and registered their identity, age, magic practice, and other personal information in detail.

When it was Lolita's turn, the registered deacon saw her name and hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Good day, Your Highness!" Lolita quickly waved her hand, "Don't be like this, don't be like this, I'm an illegitimate daughter of the royal family, not a princess." ”

The episode didn't cause anything else, and the people who had soon been registered were taken into separate small dark rooms, and Lolita knew that the trial was about to begin.

It was a completely dark room, and when Lolita walked into the room, the mage who led the way closed the door to the room. In the darkness, Lolita waited anxiously, until, slowly, Lolita felt a slight sound in her ears, she hurriedly lowered her head to look around, but in the pure darkness, she could not see anything.

Lolita quickly calmed down from her panic, she silently closed her eyes, and slowly released her spiritual power, the tentacles of spiritual power stretched out in all directions, covering the entire room, and suddenly, Lolita felt that her spiritual power touched something.

"What a keen and excellent affinity for magic. In Lolita's mental force field, an old but familiar voice sounded.

"Archmagus?" asked Lolita, confused.

"It's me, kid, you can unfold the mental force field to find me so quickly, Setie really found a good seedling. Alright, concentrate, and the trial begins immediately. ”

Lolita felt that her spiritual force field suddenly brightened, and in the originally dim space, a trace of light gradually bloomed, slowly, slowly, until the entire spiritual power space became brighter.

Lolita knew that the current light only happened in the mental space, and if she opened her eyes at this time, she should still be in that dark room.

At this time, in the bright spiritual force field, Lolita slowly let go of her thinking, this feeling is very strange, she feels that she is a real existence, she can even open her eyes and see the clothes she is wearing and the air she exhales.

The bright scene in front of you changes in an instant. In the originally empty air, dense holes suddenly appeared, like a huge honeycomb magnified countless times. A small red fireball appeared in the air, writhing there, Lolita was a little puzzled, only to hear another prompt in her ear, "Quick, keep up with it." ”

Before he could finish speaking, the fireball suddenly twisted flexibly and disappeared into a hole. Lolita tightened her spirits and followed. It was a strange feeling, and Lolita felt like she was literally flying in the air chasing that red fireball.

However, at this time, Lolita didn't have time to think more, that red fireball, Lolita swore that it was definitely the most flexible thing she had ever seen in the world, chasing after herself, it felt like she would never be able to catch up, that red light, just in the hole in front of her, would appear and disappear.

I don't know how long it took, Lolita felt that she couldn't support it anymore, and the fireball actually found out in her conscience, didn't move anymore, and slowly stopped in mid-air.

Lolita felt her heart beat fast and had a splitting headache, as if tens of thousands of needles were pricking her. The fireball danced slowly in the air, giving people a warm and peaceful feeling. After a short period of time, Lolita suddenly found that her state was much better, and it seemed that the fireball dance just now was for herself.

Immediately afterwards, Lolita, who recovered, suddenly found that a green fireball appeared in front of her, and with her mental disturbance, this green fireball actually moved slowly, and it seemed that it was completely controlled by herself.

The voice in my ears came again: "Follow along." I saw that the red fireball suddenly began to change, and gradually changed into the appearance of a book, and Lolita hurriedly controlled the green fireball, which also became the appearance of a book.

The red book, gradually approaching, and the green book fit together, as if to compare the difference between the two. Soon, the red book left and flew back into the air, returning to the appearance of a red fireball. After a few breaths, the red fireball slowly transformed into a sword, and seeing this, Lolita quickly controlled her green fireball.

Nicker and Ferda, who were waiting outside, were a little bored, and after joking for a while, Chester didn't know how long he would have to wait, and was ready to lie down and rest. Suddenly, the door to the room opened, and Lolita, who was flushed and sweaty, walked out. "Miss, you're out. Seeing Lolita's Feta, she excitedly went up and hugged her, "Is it done?"

Lolita smiled at Feida and nodded slowly.

Note 1: Leader and Inheritor are the official names given by court magicians to the combination of Magician-Apprentice. “

Note 2: The team of court magicians is not large, except for the leader of the Grand Magister, who wears purple-edged gold robes, they are also divided into three stages: advanced, intermediate, and beginner, wearing gold-edged, silver-edged, and copper-edged white robes respectively. After the trial, Lolita will become a junior magician, wearing a copper-rimmed white robe.

Note 3: 10,000 fire wolves running over in my heart is actually a joke, with a little scolding meaning. said that I encountered a very speechless situation, and I was very depressed and didn't know what to say.
