Richie is the second son of Viscount Star Lake.

In the aristocratic families of the empire, the eldest son received various trainings from a very young age and was established as the heir.

The second son and the third son can only get very few resources, and they have to fend for themselves when they grow up.

This is not harsh, but if each generation splits the territory, within a few generations, everyone will become commoners, and the title of nobility will no longer exist.

As the second son of the viscount, he was lucky, at least as a child, he studied writing and arithmetic with a scholar, and when he grew up, he might be able to serve a higher nobleman.

Even if you don't have a good job, you can live alone as a good scholar.

What makes him a little regretful is that he does not have the qualifications to become a 'super string warrior', otherwise, he may still have the opportunity to become a nobleman by virtue of his strength.

He once thought that his life was like this, and he could see the end at a glance.

But everything was broken in that night's conversation.

Richie talked to his father all night in a daze, and the next day he was put in a carriage and made to the Duchy of Mark.

Opening the car window, he could see a tall tower, standing not far away, radiating various colors of brilliance from the tower.

"It's so pretty......"

"The power of a magician!"

Near him, a sweet female voice exclaimed.

"Huh?"

He looked over and saw a girl with curly blond hair and a cake dress, who also opened the window.

She was so beautiful that the teenager couldn't take his eyes off it.

As if noticing his gaze, the girl's gaze came over: "Hello...... I'm Lindsay! ”

"Hello, I'm Richie!"

Richie's face flushed, glad that the carriage had finally arrived and that he didn't have to continue to be embarrassed.

He stepped out of the carriage and was shocked to find that the square was already full of people.

Judging from Ritchie's limited knowledge of heraldry, almost all the nobles of the Northlands sent their children here.

"Everyone!"

Just as the square in front of the Mage Tower was full of people, a figure flew down directly from the sky.

"Oh my God......"

"Fly!"

Many teenagers directly have their eyes shining, with envy and longing.

"Boys under the age of fifteen, come here, line up, enter the mage tower, and test the mage qualifications!"

Phil's voice was like thunder, and it spread throughout the venue, causing many people nearby to cover their ears.

"Line up, one by one!"

Under the watchful eye of a mage, the order of the scene was well controlled.

However, the queue of teenagers and girls is very interesting, basically, the big nobles are in the front, and the small nobles are in the back.

"The daughter of the Count of Philly......"

Richie looked at Lindsay's back and secretly confirmed the information.

The queue was long, but the pace of progress was fast.

Rich found that the teenagers who had gone in had only been there for less than a few minutes before they came out, many of them looking depressed.

'The failure rate is high! ’

'What is a sorcerer's qualification?' ’

In his heart, he couldn't help but feel worried.

"Alexander, pass!"

At this time, a voice came from the front, which made the team look sideways.

"It's finally passed, come on...... Richie, you can do it. ”

Richie clenched his fists and watched the team move forward, and one by one 'Qualified' appeared.

"Lindsay, pass!"

A moment later he heard a voice, and looked at the old butler of Count Phiri's house and covered his face with excitement.

"Next. Ricky! ”

"It's my turn!"

Richie took a deep breath and walked into the Mage's Tower.

As far as the eye can see, there is an empty hall with a formation ritual on the ground.

"Don't be nervous, come to us!"

In front, there were two magicians in robes, a man and a woman.

The woman spoke in a sweet voice.

Richie's calves trembled a little, and he didn't dare to look at the other party's face, only dared to stare at the hem of the other party's clothes and boots, and slowly stepped forward.

Bang!

Suddenly, he felt an impact rush towards him.

"Ahh

He let out a low cry and shook his body, but he didn't fall.

"Well, pass!"

The male magician affirmed, "Not bad......"

He paused and told Richie to go out.

Richie's head was dizzy, he saluted, walked out of the mage tower, and immediately came up with paperwork to register.

"It's a bit crude to use mental shock magic to find out the qualifications of each apprentice......"

Illia said to Tacloau: "More advanced means must be developed in the future!" ”

A wry smile appeared on Taklau's face: "Indeed, but the first time I used it, the effect was not bad, at least, all the teenagers with mental potential were discovered...... Alas, at this time, I was still wondering, how did the teacher find out about us back then? ”

At the time, Turing just glanced at him and bought him in the slave market.

And Iliya and Phil also glanced at it and confirmed that they had the qualifications of magicians.

Now Takelau knew that the three of them were not only qualified, but also very good.

"Teacher...... I don't know where he went......"

Illia also had a blank look in her eyes.

……

"Alright, here's the list: Alexander, Lindsay, Damy, Ted, Rusov...... Ricky...... These seventeen people can stay and become a magic apprentice! ”

In the square, Phil took the list handed by the paperwork and announced loudly: "Those who want to become our apprentices above the list, come here early tomorrow morning, and don't forget to bring your tuition fees...... Two hundred Imperial Gold Coins a year! Alright, let's all disperse! ”

As for those who want to go through the back door, or even bribe, Phil is dismissive.

Magician qualifications are so demanding.

Without a certain talent, it is simply impossible to go far.

In fact, he was surprised to have so many apprentices this time.

After all, this is a more demanding talent than a superstring warrior!

He closed the door, walked into the Mage's Tower, and saw Ilia with Tacloau: "Alright...... Next, you need to prepare a magic book to get started...... I think it's enough to teach meditation at first, and then when they get started, they can teach runes, Womon, and magic tricks......"

Looking at the scene of the discussion between the two of them, Phil felt a little jealous in his heart, and stepped forward: "I suggest that when you become an official first-level magician, you should join an assessment, or trial!" This is to expand the influence of our magicians. ”

"But...... ...... the Empire," Taclau frowned, "I think we should take the opportunity to reach a rapprochement, or at least a tacit understanding, with the Empire, which will help promote the development of magic......"

"No...... I propose to unite the nobility directly and rebel against the Empire! ”

Phil's voice was as cold as metal: "Under the Mage Tower, we are extremely powerful, and we may be able to kill the legend...... Even without the help of the Mage Tower, I'm not afraid of that mercenary emperor now! ”

"You ......"

Illiyah looked at the two fiercely opposed, and her face showed helplessness.
