Mu Yan's bard spell is still in effect to this day, and Xia Duo didn't have as much trouble moving the barrel in the cellar as he used to, and he easily moved it out alone.

And when he came to the counter with the barrel, he heard Neil Sr. boasting to a few adventurers that his son was about to join the Mage Tower and might become a real mage in the future.

Haha –

The adventurers obviously didn't believe that little Neil would become a mage so easily, and they all laughed one by one, old Neil was not annoyed, but compared Xia Duo, "You see that Xia Duo is so old, he thinks that he has the talent to become a mage, my little Neil is just 16 years old, who can say for sure in the future!" ”

"Oh? Xia Duo, you also went to participate in the Mage Tower assessment? A familiar adventurer happened to see Xia Duo, so he beckoned and asked.

Xia Duo moved the barrel behind Old Neil, and after carrying it to the shelf with Old Neil, he replied, "I'm just going to try my luck, maybe one of the mages has taken a fancy to me!" People have to have some dreams. ”

When it comes to dreams, it may touch the softness in the hearts of these adventurers, since they choose to become adventurers, they are more or less dissatisfied with the status quo of life, and have some unrealistic pursuits.

At this time, when they heard the word dream, they all felt a little emotional, so they were a little silent one by one, "Old Neil, come to a bottle of golden rum." ”

"Bring me a bottle too, it's midsummer, and it's too boring to drink ale." Several adventurers asked for golden rum.

Old Neil hurriedly brought wine to everyone, and a smile bloomed on his face, 1 glass of ale wine is only 5 copper coins, but 1 bottle of golden rum will sell for 10 gold coins, and this bottle can only hold more than 1 glass of wooden wine glass in the store.

Normally, these adventurers were reluctant to drink such expensive wine, and thinking of this, old Neil looked at Xia Duo again, and Xia Duo was already cleaning up the table where the guests had left.

Old Neil's eyes were small, and he seemed to have made up his mind, and Xia Duo, who had his back to Old Neil, clearly felt a malicious gaze behind him with the blessing of the bard's spell.

sighed silently in his heart, the movements in his hands did not stop, Xia Duo had decided to leave the inn as soon as possible, but the question was how to spend the three days waiting for the results of the assessment, in terms of familiarity with Savile Town, a hundred Xia Duo could not compare to Old Neil.

As for leaving the town, Xia Duo never thought that in the town, old Neil might still have some scruples, but if he got outside the town, there was really no way at all.

In addition, there are often goblins and wild beasts that grow like weeds outside the town, and it is also a trouble to encounter them, and if you are unlucky enough to meet an orc, it is better to work as a black worker in Old Neil's inn, and people can only hope if they live.

Xia Duo couldn't figure it out, Old Neil was willing to send his children to the Mage Tower, but he was unwilling to accept Xia Duo also joining the Mage Tower, didn't he know that there were many friends and multiple paths?

Or does he think he doesn't have the slightest hope of becoming a mage?

If he could choose whether to cross over or not, Xia Duo would rather choose not to cross, and if he could choose the way to cross, then of course Xia Duo would choose to wear a minor noble child.

That way, he'd be at least in a better position than he is now, and it would be easier for him to access spells.

Although the examiners of the Mage Tower did not refuse Xia Duo's reference assessment because of Xia Duo's age, Xia Duo could still feel the disapproval in their expressions and demeanor.

But so what, crossing into this world, Xia Duo knows that if he can't master the power, it is no different from grass mustard, and he may be slapped to death by a drunken adventurer at any time, he may be killed by a passing mage with a spell, and even occasionally out of town may encounter goblins, orcs or something.

In short, if you don't master the power, you will never be able to control your own destiny, and you can only go with the flow with the changes in the outside world.

In Faeron, in the Empire, the only thing that can be called power is magic (magic is also counted, but Xia Duo cannot agree with the teachings of those gods from the bottom of his heart, so he cannot become a priest and master the power of magic).

The assessment of the Mage Tower is an opportunity, and the bard Mu Yan is also an opportunity, and Xia Duo is naturally unwilling to give up easily.

……

The town of Savile during Midsummer is much more lively than usual, and most adventurers don't choose to go out on a quest on this day, but stay in the town to enjoy the festivities, but this is only a secondary reason.

The real reason is that on Midsummer Day, after the celebration, the Radiant Attendants of Amanata distribute free holy water in the square in the center of the town, which can not only heal certain minor wounds, but also inflict heavy damage on evil creatures, at least 25 gold coins a small bottle.

But today, as a result of the celebration, Amanata will give an extra radiance, and the radiance attendants will collect the radiance given by the gods to make holy water and distribute it to the people who participate in the celebration on the spot.

Otherwise, what else could make these risk-hungry gamblers waste a day hunting just to dedicate a day of fun to that day? Apparently not.

As evening approached, there were few more guests left at the Old Neil's Inn, as the Midsummer Festival celebration was coming to an end, and it was the last chance to participate in the festivities, and once the sun set, the chance to receive the holy water was lost.

Anyone who tries to get away with it will not escape the impartial eye of the guardians of the law of Amanata, and those caught will be flogged and banned from attending the evening bonfire.

Therefore, all those who want to get their hands on free holy water will not miss the opportunity, including Old Neil.

But this has nothing to do with Xia Duo, after the guests left, the mess left behind still needs Xia Duo and others to clean up, and even Little Neil and Aunt Susan have been left behind.

……

In the evening, to the sound of the fierce revelry of the crowd outside, Xia Duo returned to a cubicle on the second floor of the inn, where he had lived for most of the year, by which time the effect of the bard's spell blessing had worn off, but he did not feel tired.

It was clear that this spell was not an overdraft of the human body's potential, but was replaced by another magical, imperceptible power, which Chardo craved more than ever at this moment.

Thinking of the assessment of the Mage Tower, Xia Duo judged with his own experience, as long as he was not rejected on the spot, the final result should be able to pass, after all, those assessors had already seen the assessment process and should have measured it in their hearts.

After all, it was originally to recruit servants, and for the Mage Tower, it would be gratifying if there were good seedlings among the servants, but if there were none, there would be no loss, where could you find a servant who only needed 100 gold coins in 3 years?

That's less than 1 silver coin a day at the Old Neil Inn, and if it weren't for the opportunity to learn spells, who would want to be a servant!

The people who participated in the assessment at the same time as Xia Duo were not here to make money at all, but were ready to spend more money, just to make the path of a mage a little smoother.

Although Xia Duo had already predicted whether he would be able to join the Mage Tower, he still didn't wait for the official result after all, and he was still a little uncertain in his heart. However, from Old Neil's malicious gaze today, Xia Duo was a little more sure about joining the Mage Tower.
