Curiosity, ignorance, exclamation, contempt, contempt, disregard, scrutiny, pity, etc., all kinds of gazes, Carl couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. He had never found himself so sensitive, and he could read so many rich emotions from so many eyes.

Fortunately, this kind of gaze of hundreds of people together seemed to be an illusion, and it was withdrawn the moment he walked in.

Carl silently sat down with the other apprentices, and then cautiously observed the surroundings, trying to find the figure of little Lucy, although he didn't know why, but since he came here, the little Lucy would probably be brought in here.

The lecture hall was huge, and it still looked relaxed when hundreds of people sat down. However, before Carl could find little Lucy. A figure in a black robe embroidered with the symbol of the blood moon stepped on the invisible staircase and walked in silently.

The dark shadows stretched out automatically under his feet, like a carpet to welcome the VIPs, and a transparent staircase was laid silently. Dark red leather boots studded with gold and silver threads and precious stones stepped on the obsidian floor without any sound—in fact, the soles of his shoes did not make any contact with the floor, and a thin layer of shadow had covered all dust and sound.

It was a figure shrouded in a faint red light and shadows, and no one could see his true face clearly. But the moment he appeared, the classroom suddenly fell silent.

The instinct of a small animal to meet a natural predator made them alert and keenly silent, whether it was the awe of the mentor, or the instinct of a creature at the bottom of their food chain to meet a predator at the top of the food chain, they all felt a deep, dark, cold, and creepy cold aura from that figure.

"I'm here to teach you magic—"

The creepy figure glanced at all the apprentices in a circle, and after ushering in a silent submission, he said coldly: "I don't care about your previous identity, whether you are a blood descendant of a certain big man on the top of the Nine Ring Tower, or a descendant of a certain floating city archon, or the son of a potter, blacksmith, or farmer, or simply a foreigner and barbarian with the mark of a slave......

"Here, your bloodline, identity, status, family, kinship, and lineage, whether you are noble or lowly, rich or poor, are meaningless!"

"Because you are all gifted, and the lucky ones chosen by the great Scarlet Moon, you will have access to the greatest, most radiant, most mysterious, most powerful, and most primordial power in the world—magic!"

"Compared to the power of great magic, compared to the status you may obtain in the future, everything you have before, status, status, name, reputation, is not worth mentioning!"

"Thank you, apprentices, thank you for the great magic, thank you for the great empire, it is the magic and the power of the empire that have found you from all corners of the world, otherwise, your talent can only be buried in the wilderness like the weeds on the side of the road, with the dung of jackals!"

"Be grateful, apprentices, to the sages who founded the empire, and to His Majesty the Emperor who brought the empire to the pinnacle of glory. It is the sages who have transformed the ancient witchcraft so that you don't have to rely on random graffiti to explore magic like a blind man paints. It is also the great emperors and their whens who have reformed the education model of the empire, so that you can sit here in peace and listen to the lectures, instead of toiling in the wilderness with goblins, ogres, and gnolls, just to search for that little bit of pathetic spell casting materials!"

"However, this does not mean that you can listen to the lecture here in peace and security without paying a little price!"

"Knowledge is priceless, and the knowledge of magic is paramount. ”

"Knowledge for knowledge, power for power, this is the creed that spellcasters have followed since ancient times, and it is also the first motto for building empires!"

"Please remember that the Empire has spent manpower and material resources to collect you from all over the world, teach you magic, teach you strength, and it will not cost you anything!"

"What the Empire needs is citizens who can truly create knowledge, magic, power, and value, who truly recognize the value of knowledge, and shift the goal of life away from the frivolous money, power, and even social status, to devote themselves to the goal that is truly worth dedicating their lives to - the pursuit of the ultimate mystery of magic. ”

"Remember, in the Empire, only mages are first-class citizens, and only those who are truly creators of the power of knowledge and magic are rulers. ”

"And the others, whether knights, warlocks, fighters, warriors, or even more general, ordinary people who do not even have extraordinary strength, are ruled!"

"Rejoice, you will have the most precious opportunity of your life, the one chance to become the ruler of the empire. ”

"But all this is not without a price!"

The crimson shadow swept over the silent apprentice, and with a slight wave of his wand, all the students were reseated and marked with gold, silver, red, and blue by the glow of magic.

"A qualified ruler, not a flower growing in a greenhouse!"

"You need to understand what knowledge is, what wisdom is, what power is, what power is, what domination is, what creation is, what victory is, what defeat is!"

"But unfortunately, this is not the old wizard era, and you can't be left to your own devices, nor can you be left alone like those uneducated wild mages. ”

"So, you guys need a little bit of motivation and pressure right now. There are a total of one hundred and thirty-five apprentices in this issue, but the Mage Tower has only prepared three advanced potions to reward the top three apprentices in the overall score!"

"You may have heard the names of the potion, 'Mermaid Tears', 'Burning Marrow Blood', and 'Bauhinia Moon', the perfect potion that can allow you to perfectly advance to a full-fledged mage and fully awaken your own warlock bloodline!"

"And, since you may be curious about each other's identities, I'm kind enough to help you identify them first. ”

"The gold badge is the gold badge for those whose parents were spellcasters and citizens of the empire, the silver badge for those who came from knights, fighters, and warrior families, the blue badge for the sons of merchants, scholars, craftsmen, and craftsmen, and the white badges for the children and grandchildren of farmers, lumberjacks, and hunters......"

Looking at the blue badge on his body, Carl frowned slightly. Such an obvious information about the apprentices according to their origin and identity is obviously a blatant encouragement for the apprentices to fight as a team.

Plus that very tempting prize. Carl could almost imagine the fierce battle that would take place among the apprentices that followed. Forming cliques, the law of the jungle, school bullying and so on will almost inevitably occur.
