Chapter 24: Confusion and Shock
White dots of light floated around El, and the crystal ball floated and sank, flickering and dimming, echoing each other.
A small and complicated magic array slowly appeared in the crystal ball, and more and more points of light scattered from the crystal ball and surrounded Al's side.
Al stood alone in front of the crystal ball with his eyes closed, feeling the unusually active magical elements around him. The surrounding points of light have surrounded his whole body, and the whole person is like an angel who has descended from the earth, looking noble and mysterious.
Seeing this scene, many nobles in the audience secretly muttered in their hearts, do you want to get one for your juniors in the future, no way, this effect is too good, too gorgeous, no wonder it is popular among the nobles of various countries.
At this time, the magic array that slowly appeared in the crystal ball finally took shape, and a bright pillar of light shot out from the magic array, like an El's direction.
After the pillar of light passed, there was no sound.
However, the magical elements around El fluctuated rapidly, and the four basic elements of earth, fire, wind, and water, appeared around El and were visible to the naked eye. This caused some nobles who did not have the talent of mages to crane their necks in curiosity and stare at the area of El.
The cyan wind elemental first revolved around the El, burrowing into the El's body. After a moment of stalemate, the wind element quickly receded and dissipated from people's field of vision.
"Whoa", a slight noise spread, and the nobles in the hall couldn't help but talk, and everyone could see that Al's body was not interested in the wind element.
If you want to become a high-ranking mage, the first thing is to have spiritual power and perception beyond ordinary people, so that you can feel the magical elements that exist in the air.
Second, you have to control your mental power to contact the magical elements in the air and guide the magical elements into your body, so that you can absorb the magical elements to nourish and strengthen your spiritual power.
This is the most critical step, how many people are gifted and have strong mental power, but the body is insensitive to the magic elements and cannot absorb the magic elements in the air, resulting in a lifetime of waste. This is also the reason why mages are so rare, there are too few people who want to meet both conditions.
Later, the heavy earth-based elements and the irascible fire-type elements also flashed past El's body and dissipated into the air, only the gentle water-based elements waited shyly at the end.
"Hum", seeing this scene, the nobles in the hall were talking louder and louder.
"You said Young Master Al, do you still have a chance to become a mage?" a noble girl asked the people around her worriedly.
"I think it should be okay," said a noble girl who was obviously lacking in confidence.
Water-based magic elements generally favor women, such as Al's future teacher, Winnie, who is a second-order water-based silver mage.
At this time, in the hall, many nobles showed gloating expressions.
There is no way, the Plantagenet family is too powerful, and the pressure on them for generations has already pressed out the shadows, at this time, seeing the future heir of Plantagenet deflated, on the surface, silent, with a sad feeling, in fact, I can't tell how happy I am in my heart, how much I want to see El out of the embarrassment.
Looking at those middle and low-level nobles talking enthusiastically with the people around them, the leader of the Martial Justice Department of Goldfinch City, Charles was silent, and paid close attention to Al.
Andrew looked at Al with a happy face, and gloated and followed his father Charles and said, "Father, if El can't detect the mage talent, what do you say our respected Viscount should end?"
Charles looked at his elated son and pointed to the upper nobles such as Old Patton around him.
"Do you see their squeaks? Let me tell you, the ancestors of the Plantagenet family are the Awakened Ice Power, so their family has basically awakened the Frost Power for generations. In other words, the last water magic is actually the most likely.
"Ah......h
"Hmph", looking at Andrew's appearance, Charles turned his head angrily, out of sight and out of mind.
The light blue water magic was like a little girl, shyly flying towards the El, and in the expectant eyes of many people, the water element gradually disappeared after surrounding the El's surroundings for a while.
At this moment, countless people sighed, showing a sad expression whether they were happy or not.
"Haha, I knew that he was a waste, and Plantagenet was destined to decline." Andrew, who had a sad expression on the surface, thought happily in his heart. Even Charles, who was on the side, showed a relaxed expression.
At this time, Winnie looked at Al who looked a little lonely in the field with some regret, and was about to discuss something with the Viscount, but was interrupted by the Viscount waving his hand.
"Huh"?, Winnie looked around Al with some confusion.
The hall was full of hustle and bustle, and everyone looked like Al with a hint of schadenfreude in their eyes. It is estimated that the upper nobles of the Yas Kingdom will soon spread everything that is today, and the Plantagenet family will also be ridiculed by the nobles of the kingdom as a joke.
As for the El, it will be engraved on the Pillar of Shame. "Look, that's Young Master El who sacrificed his ugliness in public."
Soon, the noise of the crowd gradually began to subside and became silent. The people who had been laughing at Al in private just now looked at Al in the center of the hall in surprise.
A trace of white light swirled around Al's perimeter, and a thick layer of frost began to appear on the carpet, tables and chairs within three meters of the surrounding area, and the banquet hall, which had been a little hot, also felt a lot cooler.
I don't know who shouted in surprise, "It's an ice element."
"Whoa", the hall suddenly erupted into a strong wave of sound, surprise, questioning, and all kinds of mixed sounds were sandwiched in.
The crystal ball suspended in mid-air began to glow brightly.
A pale white frost began to spread from the inside of the crystal ball.
The pale white frost walked slowly, but firmly, and quickly crawled past the first scale marks and crawled towards the upper ones.
In the amazement of everyone, the hoarfrost crawled past the second scale mark and crawled towards the third scale mark.
"Medium, mid-level elemental affinity, already mid-level ice elemental affinity", a noble girl said incoherently excitedly.
"My God, it's still climbing", another aristocratic girl shouted excitedly, at this time she couldn't care about the aristocratic demeanor.
The affinity of the low-level elements can already make a civilian teenager jump out of thin air and break away from his original class.
Low-level elemental affinity already has a considerable probability of becoming a first-order official magician.
Not to mention the mid-level talent, which is a proper future first-order mage, and it has become the standard for second-order silver mages.
"Ahh
