In front of the glass window on the second floor.

Berkeley and Harris were speechless for a long time.

"This guy really holds a grudge."

"Did Kress offend him because of him?" Berkeley, who had heard Harris tell the story of the previous incident, asked with a smile.

"It's fine."

Harris's serious face softened slightly: "As long as he does have the strength and can serve the kingdom, let alone Kress, even if I want to apologize to him personally." ”

"This 'lava technique' is obviously improvised, and it can be inferred from this that his earth-based spell attainments are obviously very strong, but he only uses a 'earth wall technique' to fool the assessment."

"I'm more and more curious about what he can do with wind spells under the guidance of Master Roman."

"I'm more worried that he will exhaust his mental power in order to be angry, and what will happen to the final level of the assessment."

……

What Colin feared happened.

The difference between the spell assessment and the mental power assessment is also only half an hour.

And also to walk to another proving ground that is far away.

He seized the time to meditate and recover, but fortunately others were doing the same.

Twenty minutes later, it was the same female examiner who urged everyone to get up and rush to the next exam room.

Crossing the main road planted with redwoods on both sides, a group of 20 people came to a clearing in the southeast corner of the association.

Colin turned the trees that obscured his vision and saw a tall tower standing in front of him, and counted it carefully, it was exactly nine floors.

This is the trial tower that Senior Sister said.

Because the written test takes up a lot of time, although the spell evaluation stage has been accelerated, by the time the third assessment begins, it will already be more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

"After entering the tower, you can move freely, but you are not allowed to interfere with each other, and you can pass through the top floor within an hour."

Colin found out that the examiner was in a hurry to finish it than the candidate.

However, it is understandable that even in this hurry, the assessment still lasted from 9 am to 4 pm, and the third session had just begun.

A middle-aged magician named Thor was the first to walk towards the tower, followed by the rest.

Entering the tower, Colin felt a hint of coldness, refreshing in this hot summer day, for some reason, he seemed to have a feeling of being in the depths of a dense forest, the air was fresh, the breath was free, and he could even smell the scent of grass in his nose.

However, the inside of the tower was almost sealed, and there was not even a single ventilation gap to be seen.

He almost reveled in it, and only after a moment did he remember that he was taking an exam.

I originally thought that other people should be like him, but after observing it, everyone's demeanor was very solemn, and there was no expression of enjoyment from him at all.

He didn't have time to think about these things, and instead focused on the assessment like everyone else.

Colin once asked his sister about the Trials Tower, but the answer he received was "no need to know".

This level doesn't look at any skills, it completely tests the strength of mental power, and you can pass it if you reach it, otherwise, no matter how smart and talented you are, it's useless.

Looking around, Colin saw a spiral staircase around the corner.

And the middle-aged magician named Thor had already walked to the staircase with ease.

All eyes of the 19 were on Thor.

The middle-aged magician walked to the top of the stairs, stretched out one hand into the air, and then stopped as if pressed against a wall.

After a few seconds, his body lunged forward slightly, and then strode up the stairs.

"It's an air wall with a certain vibration frequency, and if the spiritual power can fit with it, you can pass through, otherwise you will be stopped, and the difficulty of each layer will gradually increase."

A female candidate, who had obviously participated in the assessment, kindly explained, and then walked to the staircase.

According to the hypothesis of classical magic theory, the so-called mental power is some kind of energy wave with vibration frequency, although this has not been proven with certainty until now, but no experimental conclusion can disprove this hypothesis, and many spells and magic items are based on this hypothesis, such as the wall of air in front of you.

Behind the female candidate, seven or eight people immediately followed.

It seems that there are not many people who have participated, no wonder the senior sister said that most people need to pass the assessment several times in a row, thinking of this, his pressure seems to be reduced a little, but thinking of the reputation of the teacher, and the countless people who are waiting to see their jokes, they dare not relax after all.

Since the staircase was not very spacious, Colin decided to wait for the first wave to pass before attempting, and during this time, he took a curious look at the interior of the tower.

Compared to the Magic Tower, this Trial Tower is much smaller, but more delicate and elegant, and the surrounding walls are almost full of carvings and patterns, which alone require a lot of manpower.

Colin approached the wall to take a closer look at the exquisite reliefs.

However, after looking at it for a long time, in addition to finding that these patterns are very beautiful and exquisite, I can't understand what is painted at all.

There are no artistic cells, is that what you mean?

Colin was secretly amused.

The reason why I chose the seventh item was "proficient in all languages, but no artistic cells" because I didn't have many artistic cells in the first place.

Thinking of the word language, Colin had a flash of inspiration.

When I looked at the relief again, the picture in front of me had changed dramatically.

Of course, the pattern doesn't move, but Colin's way of capturing it has changed dramatically, like some classic visually misaligned pictures from previous lives.

In the line of sight, those contrasting concave and distorted lines are perfectly combined into a strange text.

Most words are two-dimensional and can be simply written on paper with a pen, but this type of writing is very different and must be expressed in conjunction with the carved bumps.

To put it simply, it is a kind of three-dimensional text.

No wonder it had to be written in the form of relief.

Colin subconsciously began to interpret.

Because of his special abilities, he was able to easily read the various books collected by Roman Sagan.

Elven languages, dwarven languages, and even the primitive totems of certain semi-intelligent creatures can decipher the approximate meaning.

Unfortunately, knowing this didn't help him much, as only humans and elves of all races studied and recorded magic.

In 40,000 years, the elves have put all their energy into the druid art evolved from the water magic, and today, it has been completely separated from the magic used by humans and is self-contained.

……

Kress is not in a hurry.

Because the teacher Harris has already said that with his current level of mental power, it is not a problem to pass the assessment.

He watched as the candidates made it to the second floor, but his mind was still on Colin Wayne, eager to see what else he could do to make a surprising move.

However, I don't know whether to be disappointed or happy, that guy actually stood by the wall and watched the relief fascinated.

Could it be that he is taking this time to recover the mental power that he has just used excessively?

You deserve it, let you scream.

Kress was lustful for a moment, then shook his head and laughed at himself.

The 16th man also made it up the stairs, leaving him and Colin Vane alone on the first floor.

Kress finally couldn't wait, glanced at Colin, who was still obsessed with reliefs, and came to the staircase.

Reaching out and touching the wall of air, feeling the faint vibration with the palm of your hand.

After a few moments, he walked to the second floor.
