Chapter 12: The Abandoned Son
There is bargaining for groceries, discounts for shopping, discounts for buying cars and houses, and I haven't heard that the exam can still negotiate conditions.
The assessment of eighth-level magic, I want to use the ninth-level one to pass, isn't this a joke~
I sneered in my heart, but I didn't expect the archmage to nod.
"Yes, you can, but one thing you have to be clear about is that the magic assessment criteria are different from the Steam Technology assessment criteria, they are not set by the Principality of Rainer, and the assessment and approval conditions are not as different as the Steam Technology regional differences. In the magic assessment, it is necessary to master the eighth level of magic before the age of 16, and you can become a magician if you reach this point. If it's level nine, you can only get the title of magic apprentice, you can't enjoy any benefits of the magic union, and you can't go to this status until you become a magic master, which can almost be said to be equivalent to a lifetime system. ”
Ximei, who is strong in mouth but is actually very afraid of the cold, nodded: "I understand, for a civilian, being able to become a magic apprentice is also a good way out, I am naturally strong, but not blindly arrogant." ”
The archmage frowned: "Judging from my experience, if you really master the ninth-level elemental magic, you can challenge the eighth-level try, after all, the difference between the two levels is not particularly big." ”
Ximei shook her head: "No, no, just steady." ”
The audience whispered that civilians should honestly learn steam technology, and that a worker with an iron job should not have unrealistic dreams, even if he did pass the examination, a lowly magic apprentice, who could only do some very hard work, and would never enjoy the supreme honor and privileges like a magician. In terms of income, he can't even compare with the lowest workers, maybe he just doesn't want to be exiled.
Ximei's attitude was resolute, and the archmage had no reason to persuade him anymore and approved his application.
Ximei was relieved that he had been given permission, as if he was worried about the permission rather than the assessment itself.
Then he put his hands on the Ice Elemental Magic Stone, closed his eyes and prepared for a moment, after opening his eyes, I could clearly see that his eyes became extremely clear, and then he muttered in a very standard elven language: "Ice elemental, does it exist?"
A spell with a questioning context immediately received a response from the Ice Elemental Spirit, and a faint layer of frost slowly formed inside the transparent Ice Elemental Magic Stone.
Everyone else is paying attention to the Philosopher's Stone, because ninth-level magic cannot be detected by outsiders without passing through the medium, and only a person like me, who is accustomed to observing strangers, will pay attention to the changes in his face, and will accidentally find his unusually clear eyes.
"He's ...... too," Princess Yunxi muttered suddenly.
I tilted my head slightly to look at her with my peripheral vision, Yun Xi didn't look at the Philosopher's Stone like me, but focused on Ximei's body, she should have also seen the change in Ximei's eyes.
Judging by her reaction, she seemed to understand what that change in her eyes meant.
The frost in the Philosopher's Stone became thicker and thicker, until the archmage announced: "It's okay, you are very skilled in the ninth-level elemental induction, it can be seen that you are a down-to-earth and steady child, you have inherited the fine virtues of the people of Rena, go back first, and wait for the reward after the assessment." ”
Prunes saluted again before returning to the exam preparation area.
Seeing Ximei come back, Luo Fatzi immediately leaned over and sneered: "Eh~ Isn't this a magic apprentice who hasn't appeared in the legend for hundreds of years, he has no status in the human race, he has no face in the elemental elves, and his grandmother doesn't love his uncle or uncle, so it's better to be exiled, at least be free." ”
Ximei glanced at him, didn't say anything, only sniffled and swallowed a big bite.
Oh yes......
The magic assessment has already completed the assessment of Luo Fatzi, Prince Yunlan and Ximei, and Princess Yunxi and I are left, and I am mentally prepared to face the test at any time. How will I deal with the first crisis challenge given to me by the Western Xuan World?
Sure enough, the archmage called my name: "Candidate No. 4, the successor to the title of the Alpine family, Alps-Naochun." ”
This is very annoying, anyone who has a noble status, has to report the door carefully to show respect, but this practice is put on me, it becomes a humiliation of changing direction.
As soon as my name was called, Commander of the Holy Light, the representative of the royal family, let out a sneer, his face full of disdain and contempt.
Grand Duke Genting, the king of the principality, also rubbed his eyebrows in embarrassment, his gaze moved down slightly, and he no longer looked at the central examination area.
The others were still restrained, but as soon as they saw that the two most noble figures on the scene expressed their attitudes like this, there was no need for them to be pretentious and suppressed.
"Hahahaha, it's the stupid son of the Count of Alps, and he's out again. ”
"Once a year, but unfortunately this year is the last time. ”
", after today, the Duchy of Rena and the Alpine family can finally stop being ashamed of this waste wood!"
The last man to speak was my annoyed count's father......
Although the statement of the Count of Alps was the same as that of the others, when he said it himself, the atmosphere immediately became strange, and the others kept their mouths shut, not daring to echo the self-deprecation of the Duchy Marshal.
The scene went from quiet to chaotic and then from chaotic to quiet, and I was the only one who stood still in the whole process.
The archmage was helpless, and greeted me directly: "Troubled spring, it's your turn, come up, it's really getting more and more stupid, and now I don't even react to being called......"
Luo Fat Man gently pushed me: "Go Sect Master, no matter what choice you make, the fat man will support you, but I still suggest that you go to exile freely with me......"
I was just observing the scene and the reactions of a few key people, and after being greeted twice, I left the exam preparation area and walked towards the assessment area.
"Wait!"
As I was about to walk to the assessment area, a woman greeted me behind me.
I and everyone else looked in the direction of the sound, and there was only one woman.
It was Princess Yunxi, who held her hand with a big cotton glove, first smiled unnaturally at the watchers who were looking at her, and then said to the archmage, "Teacher, can I take the test first?"
The archmage raised his eyebrows: "I love Princess Yunxi, what tricks are you going to play?"
Yun Xi pouted: "Who said I was going to play tricks~"
"Don't try to lie to us, you play tricks every year......"
The archmage's words drew a whisper of echo from the spectators, and even Yunding and the Holy Light nodded frequently, it seemed that what the archmage said was true.
Yun Xi pretended to be embarrassed and scratched her head, but in fact, she didn't mean any embarrassment on her face.
"I really don't know how to play tricks, I just kind of want to complete the assessment quickly, anyway, my cousin is not in a hurry, right~"
The archmage didn't dare to agree easily, and looked at Yun Ding, Yun Ding knew his granddaughter better than him, and he also couldn't do anything about her, seeing that Yun Xi also looked at himself, the Grand Duke didn't dare to offend this little ancestor, rubbing his eyebrows and nodding.
"Great~" Yun Xi didn't wait for the archmage to say anything, and had already run over.
She pushed me back first: "Cousin, don't worry, let my cousin come first~" Pushed to the vicinity of the exam preparation area, and she said to me in a voice that only the two of us could hear: "Don't worry, my sister will definitely do her best to protect you, and I will never let you be exiled by the principality!"
