After the announcement, Acting Dean Douglas opened a portal again, turned his head to greet several wealthy children one after another, and then left with the nine mentors.

"I've been there more than 10,000 students, how long has this academy existed?"

"That's why Jackdaw Castle is the top magic academy in the whole continent, if you can enter here, after you go out in the future, you will be glorious and rich, and you will enjoy it endlessly......"

"Don't think it's too beautiful, even the enrollment assessment is so difficult, if you want to graduate successfully, I'm afraid it's not easy."

The crowd chatted as they walked towards the back door of the academy.

Lin Yang mingled in the flow of people, silently running the Super Transfiguration Technique, changing his appearance to the appearance of being stranded in the Holy City, and sneering at Hermes on the high platform.

"It's you!" Hermes was obviously stunned, he never expected that he would meet Lin Yang again here, the shame in the Holy City that day was almost the biggest failure in his life, hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind, turned to a pair of brothers and sisters of the Cartier family and said: "Brother O'Brien, sister Belinda, among the people who participated in the trial this time, there is a guy who has had some holidays with me, and I plan to blend into the crowd and secretly participate in this trial." ”

"Be careful, don't make it too obvious, the Carmen family has become infamous over the years, and you, as the first heir, must always put the family's reputation first." Nodding, O'Brien said slowly.

"I understand." With that, Hermes secretly clenched his fists, a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and strode off the high platform.

"Brother." Looking at Hermes pouring into the trial crowd, Belinda said on the side: "The gradual decline of the Carmen family has become an established fact, Hermes listens to you on the surface, but in private he may not regard us as allies, you also spent tens of millions of gold coins this time to let him be admitted directly from the admissions assessment, and the old men in the family are also bent on supporting their family, is there this?" ”

"Strictly speaking, whether it is supported or not, the final result of the Carmen family is still to leave the Holy City." O'Brien sighed: "But we have been friends with the Carmen family for thousands of years, and almost everyone understands this, without the strong support of the Carmen family, our Cartier family would not have become the sixteenth giant, without their yesterday, we would not be where we are today." And now, everything is done for outsiders, everything is for the sake of the family's reputation, which is something that cannot be helped......"

"I see." Belinda nodded: "Actually, the elders of the clan don't want to help them unconditionally, but they just don't want us to lose the reputation of crossing the river and demolishing bridges in the outside world. ”

"That's right, when the family grows to a certain size, reputation is more important than strength, and you must always remember the ancestral teachings of the family." O'Brien took out the family crest from his bosom, put it on his lips and kissed it, and on the badge was a pure gold necklace that shone gold.

"More precious than gold is friendship!" Belinda smiled knowingly, took each other's arms, and the two walked towards the main castle of the academy.

……

At this moment, the square was empty, everyone went to the back door of the academy to participate in the trial, and there were still a few children of wealthy families left on the high platform, greeting each other politely.

"Hehe, everyone, I am the fourth eldest in the Wellington family, and there are three older brothers in front of me, because I didn't often show up before, you may feel a little strange, my name is Arnold." Arnold Wellington touched the back of his head, smiled honestly, his expression was simple, his voice was honest, and he was a very rare character among the children of wealthy families.

"It's rare that the Wellington family has a stupid person, Arnold, since you are the fourth oldest in the family, then you have nothing to do with the patriarch election in the future, this time you came to Jackdaw Castle, is it going to go back as a mage, and then mix a territory in the clan, and be at ease for the rest of your life?" Sarina, the eldest daughter of the Morgan family, chuckled as she looked at Arnold with interest.

"Hehe, you guessed it, you're amazing!" Arnold scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Where, where, since that's the case, then we will be seniors from now on, depending on the age, I should be older than you, call me senior."

"Hey, hello senior sister!"

"Senior brother is really good, go, accompany senior sister to go around!"

The brothers and sisters of the federal royal family, watching these two people sing a double reed, talking and laughing, gradually drifting apart, I can't help but be very speechless in my heart.

Not far away, Poppy, a nine-year-old boy from the Poseidon family, came to the royal siblings and looked up and asked, "Apollo?" ”

Tracy, the youngest prince of the federal royal family, was also close to fifteen years old, a head taller than the other party, raised his eyebrows, and asked rhetorically, "Poseidon?" ”

This was the only conversation between the two, and in an instant, Poppy turned around and walked in the direction of the back door of the academy, seemingly wanting to sneak into the crowd to participate in this admissions trial.

Daisy frowned and asked, "Brother, what did you mean by the conversation just now?" ”

Looking at Bobby's thin figure walking farther and farther, Tracy said meaningfully: "This kid is not simple. My conversation with him was brief, but it represented the most powerful force of our two families, the invisible rivalry between the sun god and the sea god. ”

"It's a pity that once you become a god, you can no longer directly interfere in the affairs of the mortal world, I have some doubts, the sun god has been on the throne for so many years, has completely forgotten our federal royal family......" Daisy said with some displeasure.

"In some ways, the situation of the Apollo family is similar to ours, there is nothing to worry about."

"Well, let's go, take me around and see what is different about this world-famous mage academy!"

……

Behind the academy is a massive enclosure wall that is 100 meters high and about 10 meters thick, stretching for several kilometers at the exit of Icewind Valley. The hundreds of magic ballestas, catapults and other war fortifications on the wall are on standby almost around the clock, and there are thousands of patrols on the wall at all times, and if they find something, they can immediately notify the entire valley.

Inside the walls, at intervals, you can see a watchtower, higher than the wall, scouts take turns to guard, equipped with binoculars, even if there is any wind and grass in the tundra wasteland dozens of kilometers away, they will immediately spot.

And the origin of this wall is not trivial, in history has repeatedly blocked the barbarian invasion on the tundra wasteland, has never been breached, and has made great achievements, known as the "wall of steel" in history.

At this moment, the back door of the academy was open, and the cold wind, mixed with ice and snow, raged in from the frozen wasteland, like a snow dragon into the door, and many of the surrounding crowd thought that they were strong and thinly dressed, and they were suddenly shivering from the cold.

By the gate, an expressionless middle-aged magician is doing age testing next to a phase door, thousands of applicants, lined up in a long line, one by one from the phase gate to pass through, if successful, the phase gate will not respond, and the person who passes will also get a magic token, used to record the merit points of killing the enemy, and once the age limit is exceeded, the phase gate will issue a warning fluctuation.

"Thirteen years old, qualified, next!"

"Fifteen years old, qualified, next!"

"It's still a day away from turning fifteen, count yourself lucky, next!"

"Fifteen years and one month, unqualified!"

The unqualified young man shouted with a depressed face: "Isn't it more than a month? Let me go! I'm from the Sutai family! ”

"It doesn't matter if you're Su Tai or Ghost Tai, as long as it's not a sixteen giant, get out of the way!" The middle-aged magician said with a look of disdain: "Don't waste the time of the people in the queue behind!" ”

A look of anger flashed on the young man's face, and his hands in his sleeve robe gradually clenched, he really wanted to attack and directly slap this middle-aged magician, but he finally swallowed his anger and left silently, in fact, the status of the Jackdaw Fort Mage Academy is transcendent, and its status as a top school in the field of magic has been standing for tens of thousands of years, even in the entire Faren Continent, it is also a well-known behemoth, even the sixteen giants will not be easily offended.

This can be seen from the fact that this academy can withstand dozens of attacks by barbarians outside the territory.

The crowd slowly advanced, and it was about to be Lin Yang's turn for the three of them.

"Oh no, that phase door seems to be able to detect real age, so it's going to be hard for me to get through......" Fanny said anxiously, seeing some clues.

Lin Yang was also a little helpless all of a sudden, with the super transformation technique, he was full of confidence that he could pass it, and for Fanny, it was now time to burn her eyebrows, and it was too late to hold her feet temporarily.

"Here's what you're given." At this time, little Alice in the back suddenly reached out and handed over a pill the size of a soybean.

"What is this?" Fanny took the pill, a little surprised.

"Eat it, and you'll be able to pass it." Alice said calmly.

"It can't be poison, right?" Lin Yang teased.

"I suppose you still need such a shoddy method as poisoning?" Alice asked rhetorically.

"Now that time is pressing, it's our turn soon, we can only be a dead horse and a live horse doctor, I'm sure Alice won't be so bad!" As she spoke, Fanny looked up and swallowed the pill in one gulp.

"How does it feel? Do you want to foam at the mouth? Lin Yang sneered.

"I don't feel it." Shaking her head, Fanny said.

"Next!" The middle-aged magician shouted loudly.

"I went." As she spoke, Fanny stepped into the phase door with a small step.

The middle-aged magician frowned, looked at Fanny, and then at the phase gate, the expression on his face was very strange, but he still said, "Three years old, qualified!" Next! ”

"I'll go, it's really an elixir!" Lin Yang was stunned for a moment, but he still walked into the phase door according to his words.

This time, the expression on the middle-aged magician's face was even more weird, he shook his head, looked at Lin Yang almost with the eyes of a monster, and said loudly: "There is still a minute to turn fifteen, the guy who is favored by the goddess of luck, go!" Next! ”

Alice was expressionless, and walked into the phase door calmly.

"Damn, is the phase gate malfunctioning?" The middle-aged magician was shocked and said, "This time I can't directly detect the age!" But little girl, I see that you are not yet fifteen years old, pass! ”

The three of them received the magic token, and slowly walked out the back door, onto the vast frozen wasteland.

The permafrost wasteland, located in the north of the snowy mountain range, is a vast cold zone, in a year, even if it is a hot summer, the ground is around zero degrees, the land is frozen hard as iron, and the three seasons of spring, autumn and winter, almost all are cold and frozen, the sky is full of snow, white and boundless, hence the name.

"Haha......" Lin Yang finally couldn't help but laugh and said: "A three-year-old kid, a completely undetectable age, it's wonderful, it's really wonderful!" ”

"You're no better!" Glancing at Lin Yang, Fanny pouted and said, "It's only a minute away, I'm afraid you're the only one in such a hurry among thousands of people, why don't you just turn into a croaking baby to participate in the trial?" ”

"Yes, I didn't think of such a good idea, I must try it next time." Lin Yang touched his chin and couldn't help laughing.

"I'll go first, don't follow me." Alice dropped a sentence and walked straight in a certain direction against the blizzard, leaving a long row of deep footprints on the snow.

"Can she be a little girl? Will it be plotted? Fanny said worriedly.

"It's okay, some people tend to be inconsistent, the weaker they look, the stronger they are, since she doesn't want to be with us, there must be a reason for her." Lin Yang said calmly.

"Okay." Fanny nodded, and the two walked together, disappearing into the snow.

……

A moment later, Hermes also walked out of the back door of the academy.

After searching for a moment among the dense footprints on the snow, Hermes moved and followed a row of footprints in a certain direction.

There are also candidates who walked out of the door one after another and walked in all directions, some formed a team in twos and threes, and some thought they were strong and acted alone.

It wasn't until everyone had finished testing that the middle-aged magician finally let out a long sigh and sighed: "This job is really tiring, those damn old men, none of them will come, and I will refuse whatever I say next time!" ”

After that, the middle-aged magician took out his staff and was about to close the phase door, when in the distance, he saw a thin figure slowly walking towards this side.

"Huh? And also? The middle-aged magician suddenly looked displeased, and it seemed that the person who came was also a half-ass, so he simply waved his staff, closed the phase door, and said loudly: "The test is over!" If you want to participate in the admissions, wait for the next one! ”

"I just want to get out and go shopping." The person who came was none other than Poppy, a nine-year-old boy from the Poseidon family.

"Out of the city for a walk?" The middle-aged magician sneered, "Do you know what is the place outside the Dao? It's a tundra wasteland! It's lucky to run into the barbarian tribes of polar snowmen, hairy savages, and ice dwarves, but if you encounter even more ferocious monsters, it's a life of death! Little one, are you sure you're weaned? ”

Poppy frowned.

He stretched out his white and tender little hand, and with a slow wave, a pale blue magic wave spread out.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the middle-aged magician was directly fanned and hit the obsidian wall, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and there was no major injury.

"You! You dare to attack me! This is the top magic academy in the continent! The middle-aged magician was shocked and angry, and shouted violently.

"If I want to kill you, as long as the official dean doesn't come back, the Fort Jackdaw Mage Academy, with that acting dean of Douglas, can't protect you." Dropping the words, Bobby slowly walked out the back door.

The middle-aged magician still wanted to have a seizure, but he was suddenly stunned, like a dumb person eating Coptis chinensis, and he couldn't say what he was suffering from. Because he suddenly saw that on the delicate shoulders of the little boy, there was a family crest, the badge was in the shape of a shield, a circle of gold, the background was light blue, like an ocean, and in the middle, there was a golden weapon.

Poseidon Trident Poke.

"The Poseidon family...... Sixteen Giants...... Poseidon ......," the middle-aged magician said in shock.

Walking out the back door, Poppy's thin figure seemed to be blown away by a blizzard immediately.

Although he is only nine years old, his face has a point of indifference and stability that seriously does not match his age, in the family, the strength of several brothers and sisters is very strong, and he will compete for the patriarch in the future, all of which are his strong opponents. However, he didn't take it to heart, because he knew very well that even if he could inherit the position of patriarch in the future, that is, it would only be a few hundred years of scenery, and compared to that man, the entire family would not even be worth mentioning.

"We are descendants of the god of the sea......" The corners of his mouth moved slightly, and Poppy read the family declaration again.

"My goal is never to inherit my father's business, nor to unify the Federation, let alone dominate Faerun!" Bobbi gritted his teeth and said, "I want to be like that man and embark on the path of becoming a god!" ”

The boy turned his head and was suddenly completely stunned.

In front of me, is the outer part of the steel wall, different from the majesty of the inner wall, the obsidian wall, full of holes, scarred, dark black bloodstains, there are many places, it is obvious to see the once terrifying fracture zone, the whole wall has been whistling for thousands of years of wind and snow, the sound of whimpering slowly spreads, as if telling the ancient past, how many bloody Federation soldiers rolled off the city wall, and how many barbarian warriors splashed the wall with blood.

"It seems that it is much easier to become a ruler than to go to the altar......" The young man's tenacious heart was shaken again.
