Chapter XXXVIII
"Dada. ”
On the official road, dozens of carriages were speeding in the torrential rain, and most of them were teenagers, and their purpose was the same as Kevin's, they were all here to participate in the Wizarding Academy test.
The five-year enrollment is a judgment of fate for everyone. Having a wizard physique means great strength, and from then on, a huge turning point in your life will take place.
Therefore, both nobles and commoners will come to the king to participate in this feast.
"Boom!"
A dull thunderclap rang out, followed by a huge bolt of lightning that lit up the entire sky.
The heavy rain fell through the cracks in the carriage, waking Kevin, who was taking a nap.
"Click. ”
He reached out and closed the window tightly, and slowly sat up from the recliner.
"There are more and more carriages, and it seems that the news of early enrollment has spread. Kevin glanced out the window and muttered to himself.
Since talking to Brandon, he had rented a carriage and had no delay along the way, heading straight for San Fidino in order to stagger the flow of people.
But he underestimated the number of people who came to the royal capital, and even on the road a few kilometers away from San Ferdino, the bloated traffic gradually blocked the road, and many carriages could only move at a rapid pace.
To know that Lasmus is nowhere near as productive and outnumbered as Earth, this is rarely the case.
"Knock knock!"
In a carriage next to him, a little boy with a freckled face was banging on the window, still talking something.
The wind and rain were too loud for Kevin to hear what he was saying, but judging from the shape of his mouth, it seemed that he was asking if he could come over.
Kevin nodded, and the little boy simply opened the car door and walked over.
"Hey, my name is Mike, and you're here for the test. The little boy smiled and said hello.
"Well, my name is Kevin. ”
Kevin nodded, shifting his seat and motioning for Mike to sit down.
"Seeing that you don't have an escort in the car, you know that you are a civilian like me. Mike was not embarrassed, and sat directly beside him, looking familiar,
"My dad sold a few ploughing cows to scrape together ten gold coins, and I really wish I was one in a hundred lucky enough to make my dad live a good life. ”
Kevin smiled and didn't refute, "Bless you, life is always full of surprises, isn't it?"
"I really envy those nobles, even if they don't have a wizard's physique, they don't have to worry about food and clothing. Mike pursed his lips and pointed out the window and complained, "This speed is not as fast as my walking, and God knows how long it will take to reach the royal capital." ”
"It's really annoying, why can't we spread it out and test it?"
Kevin was a little puzzled, the children tested plus the guards, not to mention 100,000 people, such a huge crowd is also a heavy burden on the royal capital.
"Hey, hey!"
Mike blinked excitedly, and seemed to have found the topic: "I did my homework before I came, it is said that a hundred years ago there were test points in every city, but due to the dispersion of forces, an evil organization attacked the delivery team, causing serious losses, causing the wizarding alliance to be furious, and it became the current system." ”
"I see. Kevin nodded abruptly.
But think about it, even if the wizarding alliance can't guarantee the supply of fresh blood, it won't be able to develop.
After all, wizards have a rare physique, and they must ensure a sufficient population base.
"Also, I heard that the reason for this early enrollment is that the talent of the previous class of students was too poor, so the Wizard Academy had to replenish new people and prepare to leave resources for this class of students. "It's like opening up the conversation and talking non-stop.
Kevin listened quietly and didn't interject.
At this time, the sound of dull footsteps was heard, and there was a commotion in the crowd.
Outside the driveway, a soldier in heavy armor shouted at the top of his voice: "The four side gates of the royal capital are opened, obey the command, and begin to clear the flow of people." ”
"Well, it's time for me to go, goodbye Kevin!" Mike stood up and said goodbye.
Just as Mike was about to step out of the carriage, Kevin put a dozen gold coins in his pocket without missing a trace.
He did this not so much as sympathy as pity for the weak.
Under the command of a large number of soldiers, the traffic moved slowly, and soon divided into five places and headed forward.
After a while, the majestic walls of San Fidino gradually appeared.
The city wall is more than ten meters high and stretches for thousands of meters, like an iron wall, guarding the oldest city on the mainland.
At the side gates, horse-drawn carriages lined up were inspected by soldiers, who were trying to minimize the possibility of accidents.
"Listen, the confiscated weapons have been registered, and they can be retrieved after the test is completed. A soldier took Kevin's crosssword and got out of the carriage, "This carriage is ready to go." ”
The groom waved his whip and was about to enter the royal capital.
"Wait a minute!"
The sound was like thunder on the ground, and it exploded in the air, and a figure jumped down from the city wall.
"Bang. ”
The floor cracked and dusty beneath the man's feet, and he walked towards the carriage. The strange thing is that his clothes are dry and neat, and they are not affected by the torrential rain in the slightest.
In an instant, Kevin felt numb all over his body, unable to move, and his mental power was pressed to the sea of consciousness, and it was very difficult to even breathe.
"This feeling.... Official Wizard?!" Kevin only had similar feelings with Malfurion.
The man entered the carriage and asked condescendingly, "What's the matter with your physical fitness and abnormal mental power?"
As he spoke, his spiritual power unscrupulously penetrated deep into Kevin's body.
"Big... My lord, please listen to my explanation. Kevin said with difficulty, but a wave of anger rose in his heart.
Malfurion and Brandon have easy-going personalities and do not have such a superior posture. But this man made Kai Wen confess, when the difference in strength was too big, he didn't even have the qualifications to speak.
"Whew. ”
With a sudden loosening of his body, Kevin hurriedly took two breaths of air and explained.
After hearing this, the man's face softened a lot: "Oh! So you have only cultivated with the Universal Meditation Method for one year, and you have reached the level of a third-class apprentice?"
"Yes. Kevin replied respectfully.
"Your qualifications are very good!" the man nodded in satisfaction, and continued, "Come outside with me." ”
He didn't expect that he could meet such a good seedling after a casual interrogation.
The two walked out of the clearing, and the man commanded to a hooded man, "Emery, you can take my place for a while." ”
"Yes. Emery whispered.
"Squeak!"
The wind was raging, the sky was dark, and a huge black bat flew up from behind the city wall, with purple-black fleshy wings, blood-colored eyes, slender claws connected to the wing membrane, and red smoke lingering all over its body.
