The next day, the sun rose in the east.

"Knock.. Boom.. Boom. ”

On the bell tower, the bell-ringer struck a large bronze bell with the bell vertebrae, and the heavy sound of the bell reached every corner of San Fidino.

The test has officially begun!

On this day, the gates of San Fidino were locked, all shops were closed, and non-test residents were ordered to stay at home so that the Guards could better maintain order.

Children who had long since woken up, having eaten breakfast in a hurry, rushed out of the tavern, the house, and the courtyard, and lined up in the streets according to the number given at the time of payment.

The children's young faces were a mixture of excitement and apprehension, as well as a vision for the future.

In the central square, more than a hundred tents were set up, all of which were wizard apprentices who had taken on the task. The children entered the tent one by one, and the test proceeded in an orderly manner.

Tens of thousands of guards were divided into small groups and stood around the square, giving people a solemn feeling.

At the same time, the spiritual power of the instructor of the Seven Academies enveloped the entire San Fidino to prevent accidents during the test.

.......

"Wow, Leonard, did you see it? That guy is at least twenty years old, and he is only here to test now, how poor his family is. ”

A boy dressed as an aristocratic man, looking through the glass, pointed to the people below and laughed.

"Hahaha, looking at his poor sour appearance, he must not have a wizard's physique! If you want me to say, the test should only be for nobles. The other boy chimed in.

The two boys, holding wine glasses and wearing black tuxedos, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the tall building, pretending to be adults and judging the people below.

"Hey, these little kids," Kevin glanced at as he sat down at the table, eating some fruit to himself.

The people on this floor are all children of the nobility who have gone through the back door and done tests in advance. Led by the royal family of Turin, these people were brought together and this banquet was held.

On the one hand, the banquet allows everyone to communicate with each other, gather feelings in advance, and form a small group.

On the other hand, in a sense, the banquet is attended by the "elite", and the royal family is more inclined to bet on this group of people than to look for a needle in a haystack outside.

"Smack. ”

Kevin felt a gentle tap on the shoulder.

Looking back, a little girl with snow-white skin and a delicate face stood behind him.

The girl is bright and bright, with long rose-colored hair and a shawl, wearing a red tunic pleated skirt, and her small body is well developed and has begun to take shape, like a blooming rose.

"Hey! Kevin. The girl pulled out a chair, lifted her skirt, and sat down beside him, "Why do you sit here alone, there is no one you know at the banquet?"

"I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess. Kevin stood up and bowed.

The girl's name is Alyssa Turin, and she is the nineteenth little princess in the royal family of Turin, and it is the banquet she invites Kevin to attend.

"Why are you so divided? Alyssa's mouth pursed, her eyes rolled, and she said playfully, "You're so boring, why don't we go and dance on the dance floor." ”

Kevin shook his head slightly and politely refused: "I'm sorry Your Highness, I can't dance." ”

The two had only known each other for a day, and Alyssa was so close that she must have known that his qualifications were excellent.

"It's okay, I'm a novice in dancing. Alyssa took Kevin's hands and pulled him to the dance floor.

The people on the dance floor automatically made way for the two, and they looked at Kevin with the jealousy in their eyes.

Soft music plays, and a couple of men and women dance on the dance floor.

Alyssa's body slowly approached, and she stood on tiptoe, her hands around Kevin's neck, and her head raised.

"You like.... I really can't dance. Alyssa's red lips lifted lightly, and she exhaled a breath of heat.

She could feel that Kevin's dance steps were very jerky, and he would step on her heels from time to time, not like he was pretending.

"How dare I deceive Her Royal Highness. Kevin smiled playfully, teasing in his heart.

He put one hand around Alyssa's slender waist, next to her ear, and said lightly, "Your Royal Highness, you are here with the will of the royal family." ”

Alyssa shuddered, her earlobes quickly turned red, and a fine layer of goosebumps appeared on her face.

"Hmph, boring. ”

Alyssa spun around, broke away from Kevin's embrace, and walked to the next room.

When the door is closed, all the noisy sounds in the ballroom disappear, and the room is very well insulated.

The two sat opposite each other, keeping a distance, and Alyssa's face returned to calm.

She said bluntly: "I inquired about Coverdale's tone, and he said that you are at least a third-class qualification, and there is a high probability that you are a second-class qualification." The royal family sees your potential and is willing to offer you some help. ”

Kevin leaned back on the couch and took a sip of tea, waiting for her next step.

"The Nortons are bloodline, and their help to wizards is almost nil. But the royal family is different, we have the experience of formal wizards, as well as special potions, a large number of magic stones, and even the legendary high-level meditation method, the royal family can provide. ”

"There is no such thing as a free lunch, so what price should I pay?" said Kevin, smiling with narrowed eyes.

When he came to the banquet, he was sending a signal of consent to the royal family, after all, it was a win-win situation for both parties, and he had no reason to refuse.

Alyssa placed two rolls of sheepskin on the table, untied the lacing, and a wave of magic rippled around.

"It's called the Scroll of the Devil's Seal, and it is inscribed with sorcery called the Oath Pact, which is used by wizards to ensure that verbal agreements are fulfilled, and if the oath is broken, it will be reviled by sorcery. ”

She spread out the scroll, revealing the words inside, and handed it to Kevin.

"The content of the two contracts is different, the first is that you need to be loyal to the royal family for fifty years after graduation, and the royal family can guarantee your safety. Correspondingly, you will be provided with advanced meditation methods and a lot of resources. ”

Alyssa paused and continued, "Second, you need to complete three things entrusted by the royal family. Of course, these three things will not harm your interests or go against your will, but they will only provide you with a small amount of resources. ”

"Our conditions are very good, you can just ask the tutor of the Seventh Academy. ”

Kevin didn't hesitate and said firmly, "I'll choose the latter." ”

He wants to become a wizard and gain great power, just for the sake of true freedom, so naturally it is impossible to accept the first contract.

Alyssa put away the two Demonic Leather Scrolls and stood up, ready to leave.

"Wait a minute, don't you sign a contract?"

Alyssa stopped and didn't look back: "Heh, how do you sign the contract now? After you are promoted to a wizard apprenticeship, someone will naturally come to you." ”

Kevin's heart was awe-inspiring, and Alyssa didn't ask him which academy he wanted to join, indicating that there were royal family members in the seven houses.
