“… Relax your mind, empty your mind, and don't think about anything...... Close your eyes and fantasize your mind into a dot and focus it on your mind...... Then, tell me everything you see. ”

In a hall with a fairly decent interior, Emu Elan, one of the three elven mages from the Elven Country, was whispering softly to a little human girl who was only about seven years old standing in front of him in an extremely gentle tone. On the table in front of him, a strange spherical crystal was placed, on which one of Emuelan's palms was placed, and his hands were slightly glowing with a halo of magic.

This is a kind of test that has been inherited and gradually developed by the elven race, and it is a test method to check whether the clan has the qualifications to practice magic. In the same way, this method also works for human beings, who are also members of the intelligent race.

Under his guidance, the little girl's nervous emotions were gradually soothed in his voice. And, obediently, he obeyed Eam's guidance. Try to fantasize about your own spirit, fantasize about a point in your mind, and then try to use this point to see the picture in your mind.

After a long time, the little girl opened her eyes under the guidance of Em Elan, and looked at the handsome elf in front of her with big eyes.

"Tell me, son, what do you see?"

As an erudite elven mage and one of the sages of the elven clan, Em Elan's life of less than a thousand years is very experienced. He naturally knew, whether it was elves, or humans, or animals. Their cubs, before they grow up, are very timid. Therefore, he has always been talking to this group of human cubs in an extremely gentle tone, and is very good at this ability to relieve the other party's tension and anxiety and fear of unfamiliar environments in the form of small talk.

“… Essence... Mr. Elf... I... I ......"

The little girl was nervous, for it was the first time she had seen the legendary elf so closely. Indeed, the elves are indeed a legendary race in some remote places. She looked curiously at the kind and gentle, handsome elf in front of her, who didn't know how to love at a young age, but this did not hinder the creature itself's pursuit of beauty and perfection.

"My child, you don't need to be nervous, tell me what you just saw." Emu Elan, naturally felt the little girl's nervousness, in fact, at this glance, he began to exude a soft and extremely soft spiritual power while speaking, constantly soothing the other party's nervous mental state and emotions. Although, most of the elves are arrogant and look down on humans. But elves are the only ones who have a lot of patience and tolerance for any living cub.

Under his comfort, the little girl's nervousness was gradually relieved, and with the encouragement of Emelan's eyes, she spoke: "... Mr. Elf, I seem to see countless green points of light flying around, and I don't seem to see anything......" After saying that, the little girl looked at Em Elan nervously, not knowing what her own situation should be.

After hearing this, the expression on Emelan's face barely changed, and he nodded slowly, "Okay, I see." After saying that, he picked up the pen and wrote something on the paper, and then looked up and said to the little girl, "Child, you can go out first now, and inform the next one by the way." ”

"Yes, sir."

……

This is the screening work of Em Elan and his other two companions, which seems to be an easy job, but it is not easy at all. Because, human beings who have never been exposed to magic, and whose innate spiritual strength is not strong in the first place, cannot sense their 'magical talent' at all without the correct guidance of a mage. Although, the elven mage apprentice also has the ability to guide the spiritual power of others. However, compared to the professional masters who have specialized in the field of magic for many years and studied many magic and fields, the methods and abilities of the apprentices are too weak. If one is not careful, it can even cause irreparable harm to others. Therefore, the task of selecting human apprentices still falls to professional mages.

Now, they had been working for more than seven days, and all they had to do every day was to stay in the rooms provided for them by the nobles of their city-state. Specially test one after another human children who come to test their magical talents. There were hundreds of thousands of human beings gathered here that day. And the children they brought, to count the less, there are more than tens of thousands.

Not to mention, these days, there are still humans with their own children, coming from all over the world. This also gives Emu Eland them, adding a lot of workload. After assessing hundreds of human children every day, they have to rest for a few days to soothe their spirits. In addition, we have to keep a record of qualified human children each time, and then after all these things have been done, we review the better children from the paper materials. And these children, who are more gifted, are the ones that the elves are ready to cultivate.

While these numbers may be significant, the elves already have the next step in their selection.

They will take these selected children to the realm of the elves to teach for a period of time. Then, according to the specific performance of each apprentice, the truly elite group of apprentices are selected for in-depth magic learning. and those who are not qualified, they are let go home. After all, the elves' reserve resources and educational resources are limited, and they simply cannot supply and cultivate, so many apprentices. If such a huge number of apprentices can be cultivated, then everyone in the elf clan will already be mage apprentices, and this kind of thing will never be the turn of humans.

Moreover, the elves are not without criticism about teaching humans magic.

Many elves are dissatisfied, and they are not unaware of them. Whether it is to heal the tree of life in the future, or to try to find a breakthrough from human beings, it belongs to an ethereal and unpredictable future. What the elves have to do is just a helpless way to do it in a helpless way. If possible, they hope to completely heal the foundation of the race through their own wisdom. Instead of putting the future and hope on other people, even this investment can pay off in the future, even they are not sure.

However, since they have decided to do it, the elves are not going to struggle with whether it is worth it or not. They may be arrogant, but they are not an arrogant race. They already have a kind of recognition of the potential of human beings, and the introduction of magic can also be regarded as their future investment in humanity. Even, this kind of psychology is also common among many elven mages.

Whether it's looking for an ally for yourself to heal the Tree of Life, or breaking through the now-stagnant study of magic for more inspiration. The elves felt that since magic was going to enter the human world sooner or later, it would be better for them to do it themselves. And, lead some outstanding human children to cultivate talents.

Then, when this group of human children has grown up thoroughly, they have lived and grown up with them since childhood. Then, it is also very likely that they will be able to influence or influence humans and get close to elves in the future. I have to say that the sudden sense of crisis of the elves still comes from the increasingly large number of human beings. Although the elves are stronger than humans individually, they are in front of the huge number of humans. If the elves say that there will be no sense of crisis, it is completely impossible.

In this way, the selection of human apprentices for young children has been going on continuously. Every day, the three elven mages are tasked with assessing the magical talents of hundreds of human children. Then, in the evenings, they need to constantly select a list of more gifted human children. And, on the second day, I had to repeat the previous work.

And this kind of work lasted for three months before it was a preliminary end!
