Chapter 46: Night Talk in the Ancient House
Outside Thunder City.
Inside a ruined old mansion.
In a living room on the second floor, the candles are lit, which contrasts sharply with the dark and eerie night scene around it.
In the cleanly cleaned living room, several young men in magic robes sat on scattered chairs and sofas, each with a glass of red wine in their hands.
One of the emaciated, handsome magicians raised his glass and said in a loud voice:
"Congratulations to Lady Eleanor on her promotion, and from now on we have three beginner mages on our team."
After a round of applause.
Eleanor smiled and thanked everyone, saying:
"I have to thank everyone for discussing the progress that learning has brought me, and I will definitely be like Angelo and Sam in the future, and I will never hide my selfishness and help other members to be promoted together."
The magician named Angelo smiled, "Eleanor, can you give us an introduction to the process of this assessment, so that the other members can have another reference." ”
"Of course."
Eleanor said very generously: "Everyone knows that the written test and the spell assessment are not too big a problem for an 'old man' like me who has participated in more than a dozen assessments, and I have been brushed down by the trial tower almost every time."
"And in fact, if it weren't for luck this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to pass."
"You're too modest, Eleanor."
"It's not modesty." Eleanor smiled, "If it weren't for Mr. Wayne's help, I'm afraid I would still not be qualified to tell you about the assessment experience here." ”
"Mr. Vane? Could it be Colin Vane? ”
"Not bad."
Eleanor sat up straight and continued: "Master Roman's disciple, Mr. Colin Vane and I are candidates at the same time, but we easily passed the test the first time we participated. ”
There was a sound of inhalation.
Amid the admiration, Sam, another beginner mage in the group, asked curiously:
"How did he help you?"
"On the seventh floor of the Trial Tower, I was about to give up, but after Mr. Vane passed easily, he turned back and pointed me out."
"Can this still be pointed?"
"Yes, he said let me try the 'single breath' and 'double breath' meditation methods alternately."
"Is it that simple?" The rest of those who did not pass the assessment fell into thought.
"But be reminded that the air wall of the Trial Tower is randomly generated every time, and the same method may not pass the same floor."
Everyone was slightly deflated.
At the same time lamenting Eleanor's luck.
Sam said, "Eleanor, can you describe that Colin Vane for us?" ”
"Of course."
Eleanor pondered for a moment, then said, "Mr. Wayne is estimated to be seventeen or eighteen years old, and his appearance is above average, and he is taller than Angelo, and he looks quite kind. ”
Angelo interrupted with a smile: "Do ladies pay attention to men's appearance in the first place?" We're actually more interested in how good he is. ”
Eleanor also laughed, "Mr. Angelo, please forgive me, but we have three female members here, aren't we?" ”
This small group of magicians consisted of nine people, six men and three women.
The remaining two female magicians were all in favor of Eleanor for a while.
After a joking.
Eleanor continued, "Everyone should know that when Mr. Vane was accepted as a disciple by Master Roman half a year ago, the wind in the magic circle was almost unanimous in criticism, because everyone did not understand why His Excellency 'Storm Guidance' would accept a magical apprentice who did not awaken his spiritual power. ”
"Yes." Angelo said: "I remember even when we first discussed it, it was incredible. ”
"But it turns out that most people, including us, are hopelessly stupid in front of a magister."
Eleanor laughed at herself slightly: "Mr. Vane not only awakened his spiritual power in half a year, but also passed the primary assessment very easily, compared to my 11th consecutive year and 16th time to pass the assessment, it is heaven and earth, in front of him, our talent is probably not much higher than that of Warcraft." ”
Angelo smiled: "Actually, there is no need to be presumptuous, after all, there can be a few such people in this world, and even Master Roman has only received one when he is nearly a hundred years old." ”
"That's just as well."
Eleanor nodded, and said with a wry smile: "But every time I think about it, it's still hard to accept this gap, Mr. Angelo, you're also good at fire magic." ”
"I know a little bit about it." Angelo said modestly.
"During the spell evaluation, Mr. Vane used a lava spell, hey......" Eleanor sighed halfway through.
"What's wrong?" Everyone asked.
"That lava technique split the ground by more than ten meters, almost covering half of the trial ground, and scared the examiners so much that they were forced to take defensive measures, compared to Mr. Kress, a disciple of His Excellency Harris, who was dwarfed by me, I am afraid that it is impossible to achieve that level in my life.
When everyone was amazed.
"But what's even scarier is the Trial Tower."
Eleanor continued: "Although Mr. Vane was the second person to reach the top floor, I heard from the people in the association afterwards that he stayed on the first floor for more than half an hour, and did not even try it once. ”
"Why is that?" The crowd was puzzled.
"If only I knew."
Eleanor smiled bitterly: "So after all, it took people a total of 10 minutes to reach the ninth layer from the first layer, which is almost an intermediate level of spiritual power." ”
"It's a freak." Everyone sighed and envied.
Suddenly, someone asked, "Eleanor, didn't you talk to Mr. Vane afterwards?" If you have had that kind of intersection, you can get closer to the other party in the name of gratitude. ”
"Do you think I don't want to?"
Eleanor laughed, "Actually, I did have a few conversations with Mr. Vain, and it was surprising that he didn't know anything about the rules of the Magic Society, and it felt like he had come to the test so recklessly. ”
"That's because people don't need to care about these things." Angelo smiled: "Unlike us, we can't pass the assessment, so we can only continue to learn about the regulations of the association from various channels, and even bribe the internal personnel of the association to get more information." ”
"Maybe that's true."
Eleanor sighed, "It's a pity that we didn't have a few words, and Mr. Vane was asked by His Excellency the President to talk alone. ”
Angelo nodded: "Master Roman was the previous president of the association, and it is reasonable that His Excellency Payne would take special care of Colin Vane. ”
Eleanor added, "I thought I would meet Mr. Vane at the dinner later, but unfortunately he didn't attend because he seemed to have something else to do. ”
"That kind of dinner, I'm afraid people don't like it at all."
"I've heard that Colin Vane was seen at the door of Duke Violet's mansion that night."
"I'm so envious, if only I were a disciple of Master Roman, maybe I could meet Princess Veronica."
"Less dreaming about you."
“……”
The crowd was gossiping.
Someone suddenly thought: "Eleanor, you have such a good opportunity, the next time you meet Mr. Wayne, you must take the opportunity to get close." ”
Another chimed in: "yes, maybe we can try to invite him to our team?" ”
"What do you think, what is the identity of the person? Don't humiliate yourself. ”
"Not necessarily, there is a tradition of helping each other in the same generation."
"That's right, for example, Mr. Kress's father was originally just an ordinary magician, and it was because he happened to be a graduate of the same period as Lord Harris, that he was able to let his son worship under the door of 'Fire and Thunder', you see, Lord Harris, such a grumpy and upright person would also respect this tradition."
"Even if we can't be invited, at least we can get closer to each other, and when the time comes, people will throw away something they don't want, maybe it will benefit us a lot."
“……”
At the encouragement of the crowd, Eleanor felt a little embarrassed:
"If I have the chance, I'll do my best. However, I'm afraid that I will never meet it again. ”
