Chapter 17: The Magic Apprentice

Lear has been busy, very busy lately because he has an exam coming up.

With less than three days to go before the annual miscellaneous promotion exam, Lear had no better chance of being promoted than the five million in the lottery for a temporary worker in the future, but he still had to calm down and work hard to revise.

If he can't become a magic apprentice, he won't be able to get in touch with more systematic and accurate magic theories after all, and he won't be able to get in touch with the core of this world.

According to the information provided by Pol - this guy really came to Lear again, and brought two very high ranking gentlemen in the list, so on a dark and windy night, in the birch forest witnessed by the black cat, Lear used three instantaneous magic arrows to shut their mouths, and each dropped a hundred gold coins and left, and Pol also successfully turned to Lear black and became his loyal dog, oh no, in Pol's words, it is the light brought by following the strong.

Pol "borrowed" the exam questions from his teacher, Mr. Cuthbert, and every year the handyman was one of the main leaders of the handyman promotion exam, the kind old man with thick eye bags, crow's feet, and slight cataracts, and the content was nothing more than some very empty stuff like the infrastructure of magic.

With Valenk's convenience, Lear began to be able to access some materials that were completely unreadable with his authority and contribution points, and his super memory and profound insights also shocked Valenk, and strengthened his determination to go down the dark road to the end, and tightly rallied around the small group with Lord Lear as the core and him as his dog's leg, oh, and the fat man named Mrak who had been bullied by him, and he also came from time to time to give some advice to Lord Lear, but in Valenke's eyes, it was purely Lear who guided Mrak more。

These cunning little aristocrats, for which Valenque was always indignant.

Therefore, there is no problem with the cultural class, and the more important data includes the magic test and talent test, as well as the practical use of mana, Valenke can't do anything, with the level of a first-level magic apprentice after two years, Cuthbert can't let him have access to this information, no matter how nervous he is.

So it's still up to you.

"Dear sir, my teacher, Master Cuthbert, is going to a banquet tomorrow night, and the guards guarding the laboratory are very familiar to me, and I can try to enter it and see if I can find any useful information. ”

Valenque followed Lear, taking his cleaned plate and carefully arranging it on the shelf, and then said very proudly.

Originally, according to Valenck's idea, Lear didn't have to do these menial jobs anymore, and there were so many miscellaneous servants in the academy, of course, he would not lack one, and he could even find some connections to seek a comfortable position for Lear in the laboratory or library, but after Lear passed through the theory that "the heavens will descend on the people", he obediently closed his mouth and never mentioned it again, at most he handed over the broom when Lear was sweeping the playground, or followed behind to wipe off the water when he was washing the dishes.

"No, some things still have to rely on yourself in the end, and maybe a little luck, but if you do too many opportunistic things, it's easy to lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot. ”

Valenque was accustomed to Lear's proverb or two, which he had never heard before, and he smiled and nodded yes as he wondered if he should buy two good bottles of wine to get the guard guarding the lab drunk.

"Are you idle?"

Looking at the leisurely appearance of Valenke, who had been following his ass to pick up dishes all morning, Lear couldn't help but ask curiously, he was about to be tortured by this exam in the past few days, but these aristocratic children seemed to have nothing serious to do except pick up girls and fight every day, and then he could still enjoy the treatment that he might not be able to get if he had to work very hard.

People are really angry compared to people.

"It has been my pleasure to serve you and witness your growth. ”

Valenque didn't seem to be able to hear the urgency in Lear's tone, or he didn't care, since the last time his grandfather came to see him, he told him about Lear's situation, and he told him to do whatever it took to get closer to him.

You must know that the old baron Valenque is famous in aristocratic circles for his unique vision and far-reaching reach.

"Whatever you want. ”

Lear wiped his forehead with the back of his hand.

In terms of cheeky kung fu, there is really a big gap between him and the grandson of this baron.

......

The exam finally came in the expected time.

Lear was the first to walk out of the examination room after filling in the answers that he had already been familiar with at a very fast speed, and several other handymen with promotion qualifications in the low-level magic laboratory that temporarily served as the examination room were still biting their pens, knowing that Lear paid five hundred contribution points for this exam, which was nearly half a year's labor income.

There is no such thing as a free lunch, and it is good to have dreams, but you also need to be prepared to pay the price for your dreams.

A waiter ushered him into a small conference room, where a gray-haired Mr. Cuthbert was waiting for him at the back of the main examination table with his magic crystal glasses on, and of course several other professors whom Lear had not met.

Thankfully, Mr. Bullard, who seems to have a grudge against Lear, wasn't there this time, otherwise Lear felt like he could just get out of the way and wait for a comeback next year.

"Hello, young man. ”

Mr. Cuthbert greeted Lear first.

"Hello, dear mentors. ”

He bent slightly, making himself look as humble as possible but not humble.

"Relax, it's not difficult, the original intention of the academy is also to send more fresh blood to Tartaglia and the mage world, so you will be treated fairly, I guarantee you in the name of the Mage Tower, all you have to do is show your best self. ”

"Thank you for your kindness, I will try. ”

"So let's get started, first of all, please go to the crystal ball on your left, put your hands on it and start meditating as best you can, if I don't call stop, you can go on all the time. ”

"As you wish, sir. ”

Lear then walked over to the crystal ball that was exactly the same as his first test, and began to meditate with his hands on it.

In fact, it is impossible to get in touch with the method of meditation as a Lear handyman, but as long as there is an idea, there will always be a way, and for this kind of behavior in the private of the students, the academy also knows but has a laissez-faire attitude, in their opinion, if they want to become a magician, if they don't have a detached mind, then they still do a good job of doing a good job of handymanship, and it is because these young people who ask for promotion will have some unreasonable behaviors, and the academy does not care, and even occasionally they will put forward some requirements that real magic apprentices may not be able to do, so as to find buried gold。

Then, under the gaze of Cuthbert and others, the magic crystal ball lit up a little yellow light in the center at the beginning, to the entire surface was covered with yellow light, and then to a brilliant halo that seemed to be ignited by light from the inside of the crystal ball, all of which was only a short dozen seconds later.

Cuthbert's body that had been sitting upright in his chair had clearly leaned forward, and he even reached out to help the frame of his magic glasses, and the people next to him all showed shocked expressions.

Whispers were already starting to be heard at the mentor's desk, so Cuthbert had to let out a few continuous coughing sounds.

"Silence, gentlemen, and you can stop for a moment, my child. ”

Li Yiyan even felt a little unsatisfied when he stopped meditating, he felt that he should have done better if this old man didn't forcibly stop him, but what he didn't know was that the low-level crystal ball in front of him was just a low-level crystal ball used to test the magic level of a first-level magic apprentice, and if he continued to inject magic power, then it would really explode.

"You're doing a great job, kid, now let's move on to the next project. ”

However, as soon as Cuthbert's words fell, the people next to him disagreed.

"Dear Teacher George, I see that this child's meditation just now is a little unfinished, in this case, why can't we find a higher crystal ball for him to release completely, so that we will be more aware of what kind of guidance should be given to him. ”

It was a female voice, and the others nodded in agreement after this female voice.

"Oh, since everyone agrees, let's give it a try, do you have an opinion, kid?"

"No, sir. ”

"Please help us get a second level crystal ball, oh no, a third level one, and replace the one in front of us. ”

Cuthbert spoke to the servant standing aside, and soon a blue crystal ball replaced the one Lear had used earlier.

"Kid, now you can start again, this time I won't stop you, you can always meditate on you and feel like you've done your best, don't worry about the next subjects, I'll decide the results of the exam depending on the situation. ”

"Yes sir. ”

When Lear put his palm back on the cold surface of the crystal ball, there was no more impurity in his mind. Following the trajectory of his previous meditation, he skipped the beginning and entered a deep meditation state, much to the surprise of the teachers who felt the mental fluctuations he emanated.

Five minutes later.

Suddenly, there was a "BOOM" sound in the small conference room used as an examination room.

Then puffs of blue smoke spread through the cracks in the door to the outside of the hallway.
