Chapter 30: The Temple of the Elements
More than twenty teenage children stood in front of the forest, some of them were tired, some were scarred, and some were red-faced, such as Lin Ye and Amy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info After they came up with the answer to their question by smashing the stone man on the third day, the rest of the day was spent in a pleasant hunt except for rest. Without the psychological burden, they catch animals more quickly. With the concept of eating well and eating well, they basically tasted all the animals they could catch, but they didn't dare to eat "high-protein" foods such as thumb-sized meat bugs.
Either way, they survived the short but long fifteen days in the wild, which is undoubtedly strong enough to do so at this age. Those who were eliminated were unable to take the latter two tests, which of course did not mean that they could not learn magic and alchemy. They can ask teachers to teach, or even study on their own, but they can't join the magic department of Morin Academy. The city of Morin Academy seems to have many magicians and alchemists, but in fact, there are not many who actually belong to Morin Academy. The selection is so strict that it is also to concentrate resources on cultivating better cultivation talents during the decline period of magic.
The speeding carriage played a melody that excited the waiting crowd, and as soon as the carriage stopped, they swarmed up. After handing over the daggers on their bodies, the four wagons carried them away quickly, and the dust they brought up made the forest more and more obscured until it was gone.
The journey back was much shorter than when they came, and Mr. Aven's ever-smiling face came to them.
Evan didn't ask for the answer to the question they had asked fifteen days ago, "Come with me." ā
"You haven't asked us the answer to that question yet, Lord Dean!" said one of the girls eagerly.
"You have to answer the answer in the interview, but you first have to pass the idea test, and if you don't pass it, you will be qualified to say the answer. Oh yes, if your answers don't satisfy the examiner, the previous efforts will be nullified," Mr. Ai Wen said lightly, as if it was a common thing, but for them, these were fateful things.
After entering the inner door of the academy, Mr. Ai Wen led them to a magnificent building. The building is located in the inner core of Morin Academy, although Lin Ye and Amy are allowed to enter and leave the academy at will, there are some areas that they are not allowed to set foot in, and they have seen this building from a distance, and they are even more shocked to see it up close.
The whole building is made of stones, covered with red lacquer, and there are still some golden ornaments on it, and those who have studied magic will see that it is some mysterious magic array, but it is divided into four parts and carved on the four walls. At the four corners of the top are four towers, tall and towering, like a sword, but more like a serious soldier. In the middle of the four towers is a semicircular translucent convex surface with several rings overlapping each other, dotted with crystals that look like gemstones, giving off a strange brilliance when illuminated by the sun.
In front of the building, there is also a statue of Agias, the goddess of nature and elements, which is much smaller than the one in the square, but is more delicately carved.
In the midst of everyone's exclamations, Mr. Evan took out his magic wand and pointed at the gate of the building, a spell echoed in his mouth, and a faint light lit up in the crack of the gate, and slowly opened with vibrations. Teacher Ai Wen walked into the building with a solemn expression, and everyone hurriedly followed, completely stunned after seeing the panoramic view inside.
There are no esoteric runes in the interior of the building, and there are not several floors as expected, except for the towers at the four corners, the lightsaber parts are hollow. There is some stained glass at the top, and the ring at the top is faintly visible, and the walls around it have huge murals depicting stories they don't know.
"This is the sacred place of magicians and alchemists - the Temple of the Elements" Teacher Ai Wen looked in reverence, "The surrounding murals are about how the goddess Igis taught the power of the elements to humans, as well as the legendary experiences of some magicians and alchemists who have been famous in the Ion Continent for generations, the murals are more than thirty meters tall so far, and they will definitely increase in the future, maybe the next legend is among you." To enter, only those who have taken the talent test and those above the level of a high-level magician or alchemist can do so. ā
Morin Academy has a long history and everyone knows it, but they didn't expect that there is a palace of legends here, which is a symbol of glory!
"Alright, let's hurry up and test our minds. Evan recited the incantation, and a platform with three stairs rose from the ground, and in the middle of the platform was a crystal ball with a cloud of light shaped like a galaxy, facing the ring at the top.
"Who's coming first?"
Everyone looked at each other, not daring to be the first to get rid of them. Lin Ye hesitated for a while, and as soon as he took a step, someone walked towards the crystal ball, and he was the boy who killed the hind that Lin Ye and the others let go.
"Put your name on it. ā
"Bernie Winslet. The boy exclaimed.
Teacher Evan smiled, "It turned out to be the little guy from the Winslet family, press your right hand on the crystal ball and don't move no matter what happens." ā
Bernie stepped onto the platform and held down the crystal ball without hesitation. The moment he made contact, the galaxy in the crystal ball spun rapidly, and a magic array of many circles and triangles shone on the platform. Wisps of blue light drifted like smoke and filled the air, soon enveloping Bernie completely. The galaxy in the crystal ball was not drowned by the blue light, but became brighter and more dazzling, and after merging with the blue light, it became a starry sky, which looked dreamlike from afar.
Lin Ye only felt very strange when he looked at this scene, but Amy was very different. He stared at the light, staring intently, and from time to time he looked at a few murals thoughtfully. It seemed that what he saw was completely different from the others.
It didn't take long for the brilliance to fade away, and Bernie was still standing there with no change, just his eyes closed. The galaxy in the crystal ball still exists, but the shape has changed to two numbers.
"Seventy-five thoughts, the value is quite high," Amy waved the magic wand in her hand, "wake up." ā
As the words fell, Bernie struggled to open his eyes, "What ...... I just saw?"
"Don't say it, you go to the northwest side of the tower, climb to the top and go for an interview. Teacher Evan interrupted him.
Bernie didn't speak, and walked off the platform briskly towards the northwest tower.
"Next. ā
With Bernie in the lead, everyone else was undaunted and scrambled to the platform for testing. Strange landscapes keep emerging, but they don't last as long as Bernie's. Numbers flashed one after another on the crystal ball, the highest was only seventy, and the lowest was only twenty-five, narrowly passing the test.
Teacher Ai Wen said that the minimum standard for passing the idea test is twenty-five, and the full value is one hundred, but this value has never appeared, and there is no one who has reached 90 in the past 100 years. Of course, these data are only temporary, according to him, people's minds will continue to become stronger because of some experiences, but there are limits, and according to each person's different circumstances, the limits will be different.
Lin Ye and Amy didn't compete with the others, they retreated to the back of the line and waited silently. Half an hour later, the two of them were the only ones left who didn't do the test.
