Section 12 Talent Test
Jon fell asleep at Moro's spell, and Angel didn't wake him again, so he simply asked the dumb servant to send the mentor back to the house. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Then they returned to the castle where they had been.
Leon ordered his men to gather all those under the age of fifty into the hall and let Moro test their talents for the crowd.
Ingres originally wanted to be the first to test, but Leon stopped him and whispered in his ear: "Let the subordinates test first, and you will come again." ”
Leon didn't explain why, but Ingres knew in his heart.
As Moro said just now, there is no one in ten thousand who are talented. If he tests it directly and finds that he has no talent, he will naturally lose face. If there is a servant to test it in front and then he comes back, it will not appear too prominent, even if he has no talent. Provided, of course, that there really are no gifted among the servants.
Soon, nearly a hundred servants under the age of fifty in the manor lined up at the gate of the castle.
Although many of them were woken up in the middle of the night, no one dared to complain, and all of them stood up straight with trembling.
"The people are already here, so let's start testing. Moro said, "One by one." ”
The place where the talent was tested was a small storage room, and Leon had the servants remove all the contents of the storage room in advance, leaving only a part of the things that Moro had set up.
Moro sat on the throne, and Ingres, Leon, and Eton, as well as the Alan siblings, sat on either side of him. On the opposite side of Moro was empty, and that was the place reserved for the test subject.
In the lamp on the table, a deep-sea oil candle is lit. The soft and bright light spreads out from the lamp, illuminating the narrow storage room very brightly.
I saw that Moro took out a red crystal ball from his wide robe and placed it on the table.
This red crystal ball is nothing special. Compared to the transparent crystal ball suspended next to Moro, it was much bleaker.
"This is the Eye of Aberas, also known as the Talent Sphere, which is made from the eyeball of Aberas, a strange giant beast from the Abyss Plane. Moro explained: "Aberas may not have great power, but his soul is very strong. The talent ball made from its eyeballs can return to the soul and reflect a person's talent. ”
The first one to come in and test was Ollie, the maid who served Angeles.
Ollie is 1 year older than Angel and is exactly 15 years old today. Usually the two get along very harmoniously, not like a master and servant, like a friend. So when Ollie came in, although his face looked solemn and serious, he secretly winked at Angel when everyone was not paying attention.
Angel briefly explained the content of this test. Ollie's eyes lit up as she listened.
As long as you have talent, you can become a legendary wizard?! Ollie's heart was pounding, and she could hear the sound herself.
This is an opportunity, a chance to change your destiny. Ollie immediately realized this, and her originally relaxed mind instantly tensed. He saluted Moro very respectfully, and then, with all his excitement, sat down across from him.
Moro pointed to the red orb, "It's easy, wait until you touch this crystal ball with your hand." Then don't let go of your hands, pay attention to everything around you, if there is any change. If there is a change, it means that you are talented. ”
Ollie didn't understand it for a while, and neither did the others, so Moro explained: "This kind of change varies according to the individual talent, so there will be different situations. ”
"Let's give you an example. When I first touched the talent ball, I noticed that the flames burning in the fireplace not far away suddenly changed from a small flame to a raging fire. This kind of change, which is invisible to outsiders and only I have noticed, is a manifestation of talent. After Moro explained, he thought for a while and said, "The talent ball cannot test the strength of a person's talent, but it is said that it can get guidance on the future path from 'change'. Of course, there is no basis for this claim. Personally, I don't believe it, after all, I don't necessarily practice fire-based spells faster than water-based spells. ”
"My granddaughter, Irene, after touching the talent ball, noticed all sorts of noises coming from her ears. That's a change. Moro pointed to the chubby Allen, "When Allen was testing his talent, he saw an extra piece of brown bread on his plate, and this was also a change. ”
"If, in the minute of touching the ball of talent, nothing has changed around you. Unfortunately, it means that you have little talent. Moro shrugged.
After Moro finished speaking, he stopped talking and pushed the talent ball to Ollie's side.
Ollie swallowed deeply, and reached out with a trembling hand, resting it on the talent orb......
The small hourglass on the table walked around (1 minute), and Ollie shook her head at Moro with disappointment on her face, and then voluntarily retreated.
Moro was expressionless: "Next." ”
Time passed little by little, dozens of people tested one by one, but unfortunately, none of them had talent.
At this time, a loyal young man flashed a fine light in his eyes after touching the talent ball.
"I just felt a fresh breeze blowing in front of me, and I felt as if I was in a sea of wind. The young man made a gesture of hugging the sky, his face full of enjoyment.
"Yes...... Has there been a change?The gifted ones have appeared?!" The Earl of Eton, who was on the side, cried out in surprise. He didn't expect that there would be no gifted person in the imperial capital, and there was still a gifted person in this countryside?
Leon's expression also became excited, and he happily asked the head maid of Mana about the identity of the young man.
The head maid of Manna looked at the young man with a loyal appearance, but the corners of her mouth twitched coldly, this person's reputation in the manor is particularly bad, I didn't expect such a person to have talent! Manna secretly scolded Lady Luck for being too partial in her heart, and replied in a low voice: "He is the son of the gardener Glenn, named Fawkes." ”
Fawkes Lyon hadn't heard of it, but it wasn't a big deal, and there were so many servants on the estate that it was normal not to know each other.
Leon happily said to Mana, "Later, you will take out a hundred gold coins from the treasury and reward them to ......."
"Wait. ”
Suddenly, Moro's deep voice echoed through the room.
Fawkes's eyes were full of pride when he heard Leon's reward, but when he heard Moro's voice, he immediately withered, and his forehead was covered with large and small beads of sweat.
"An ocean of wind? huh...... When I was in the imperial capital, no one dared to deceive me, but I didn't expect that here, someone would dare to make up stories in front of me, do you really think that the white wizard has no temper?"
After saying that, Moro snorted coldly, and a violent storm surrounded Fawkes.
"Since you want to be in the sea of wind, then I will fulfill you. Taste the whisper of the wind!"
After a burst of screams, Fawkes was blown out of the window by a whirlwind and fell to the ground from the high third floor, screaming and screaming.
Leon's face turned pale: "Mr. Morro, what's going on? Is Fawkes lying?"
Moro sneered: "Although the 'change' can only be seen by the person concerned, and outsiders cannot know about it, once there is a 'change', the talent ball will flash to remind me that the talent person has appeared." ”
After Moro's words, everyone naturally knew the cause and effect.
They had been watching from the sidelines, and the ball had not flashed from beginning to end, and it was clear that Fawkes had lied just now.
After Leon heard this, a trace of forbearance appeared on his face, and he said to the chief maid of Mana, "From tomorrow, I don't want to see Fawkes in Gru Town again. ”
Mana Fuli, with a low answer, went out.
Fox's follow-up, everyone no longer pays attention. Moro straightened his robe, put away his impatience, and continued to test......
Two hourglass hours passed, and all the servants were tested, including the head maid Mana and the knights who guarded, and none of them had talent.
Moro then looked at Ingres.
Angel knew it was his turn.
......
"I'll go first, I'm also interested in wizards. I just heard Mr. Moro say that wizards have a long lifespan and are immortal, and this is exactly what I desire. Leon stopped Ingres and sat down in front of Moro: "If I live a long life, the more scenery I can see, and I want to see all the beauty of this world." ”
When Ingres saw his brother come forward, he did not retreat, but sat down beside Leon.
"You first. Angels gestured to Leon with a clenched fist, a gesture they had done when they had cheered each other up as children.
Leon smiled and rubbed Angel's soft hair, then smiled slightly and reached for the talent ball.
The white sand of time in the hourglass slowly falls. Leon slowly roamed the room with his eyes, trying to find out where the 'change' was.
A minute passed, and Leon had a deep disappointment in his eyes, and then let go of his hand on the talent ball.
"It seems...... I don't have any talent anymore. Leon regretted that he didn't notice anything change in the minute. Sure enough, as Moro said, gifted people are too rare.
"It's up to you. Leon patted Ingres on the shoulder.
Angel nodded, slowly placing his hand on the smooth surface of the ball.
