"Uh............ Hmmm, good. ”

Facing the respect and praise of the apprentice representative, Taylor nodded expressionlessly like his teacher, and then he took out nearly a hundred crystal balls from the space storage ring to check the wizard's talent and spiritual power.

The apprentice representative looked down at the crystal balls that had been piled up, and put them away with the standard space storage rings distributed to him by the White Tower Alliance.

"Then I won't bother you, Wizard Taylor."

The apprentice representative got what he needed, he touched his chest with his left hand, bowed and turned away, and then he should distribute the crystal ball to the apprentices stationed in various cities to test the talent of the new generation of apprentices.

It was only after the apprentice representatives had left that the king dared to speak.

"Wizard, would you like some dinner now?"

"No need."

Taylor shook his head, through the king's introduction, he already knew that the special food of this kingdom and some of the delicacies that only the royal family could enjoy, he felt that the cooking method of these delicacies was too crude, basically grilled and fried.

This cooking method is indeed in line with the overall geographical trend of their winter environment, and the large amount of heat from the fat in the grilling and frying also allows them to keep more heat and warmth.

"Okay then."

When the king heard this, he did not continue to persevere, and lowered his head in some frustration, but quickly recovered and continued to ask.

"Sorcerer, what should we do with the place where you stay?"

Taylor didn't have any high demands in this regard, he said casually.

"Just find me a place to live."

Unexpectedly, these words caused the king to fall into a deep groan, and after a while, he directly beckoned the minister and some other attendants to leave the palace, leaving only those beautiful and beautiful maids here.

"There is nothing to do in the kingdom, only this palace is the oldest and most ornate building in the kingdom, Lord Wizard, please stay here during this time."

After saying that, the king also personally closed the thick door for Taylor, and seeing the king's sweaty appearance, the weight of this door must not be light.

Yes?

Live here?

Are you serious?

The king's operation made Taylor completely blind, and he watched the king leave in some confusion, and then looked at the beautiful maids around him who were obediently waiting for orders, and looked at the oil painting specimens and the heads of some magical beasts full of history.

Behind the high platform where he stood was the bedroom, which was not only large and large, but also had a magnificent bed, with precious stones, crystals, precious metals, art, antiques, blankets, and so on.

"Tut-tut............"

You've done a great job here, and the hospitality is really eye-opening.

Dom, the firebird who had been standing on Taylor's shoulder, also flapped his wings happily, and flew to the bedroom, where he cut off all the yellow gems at the head of the bed, the top of the bed, the foot of the bed, the top of the cabinet, the painting on the specimen, etc., and piled them one by one into a small pile.

Then it stood in front of the ruby pile, moved its butt and shook its body, the butt first pressed tentatively, and felt a little prickly, so it rubbed left and right to grind the ruby pile into a concave shape.

After building his makeshift nest, Dom slowly fell asleep in the nest.

Taylor is now a model of a mouth on top and a broken leg below.

After he sent the crystal ball to the apprentice representative, the apprentice representative immediately got busy and sent each crystal ball to the corresponding apprentice, and then the apprentice who got the crystal ball launched a huge apprentice selection in the city where he was located.

The whole kingdom was in a state of flux due to the arrival of the sorcerer and the selection of apprentices, and children from every family between the ages of nine and ten were gathered in the squares of each city to prepare for the apprenticeship test.

For the little ones who want to take the apprenticeship test, they must have the most basic knowledge, that is, they must be able to read, read words, understand some meanings, and then they must have enough mental talent, which is the talent that wizards will develop in the future.

The White Tower Alliance attaches great importance to the growth of the next generation, so there are free schools in each city to impart knowledge and learning, literacy and so on, even street children can go to these schools.

The purpose of the White Tower Alliance is to not leave out any good seedlings of wizards, and they want all children of the right age to receive education at the right age.

As for the cost and resources needed behind it, the wealthy white wizards disdain it, as long as this can increase the probability of good seedlings being discovered, even if it is less than one percent, it is enough.

With the strong support of the White Tower Alliance, the literacy rate of ordinary people in their area is surprisingly high, and the improvement of their overall quality has also led to the prosperity of these countries and cities, and maritime trade, land trade, light industry, etc. are also the most developed in the entire plane.

Now in the Winter Kingdom, every city has carried out apprenticeship testing for school-age children, and the apprentices in charge of the corresponding cities are silently looking forward to it in their hearts, and the more apprentice seedlings appear in this city, the better the rewards given to them by the White Tower Alliance.

There are some things that they don't need, but their descendants will be able to use them.

At the end of the long line is the White Tower Alliance wizard apprentice holding a crystal ball, and the apprentice test usually lasts for about a week.

This week will determine the fate of all school-age children in the entire kingdom, whether they will become ordinary people who do nothing or become noble apprentices.

While the apprentices were in a hurry, the children were nervous, and the parents were anxious, Taylor had a firebird on his shoulder and wandered leisurely through the capital of the kingdom to experience the customs.

He wants to experience the life of ordinary people in this world.

Two weeks later

"Are these all the apprentices?"

Hiss............

Staring at the timid looking children with a pair of golden vertical eyes, Taylor's slender forked tongue spat out to analyze the pheromones and elemental fluctuations around him.

Looking at Taylor, who looked handsome but behaved strangely in front of him, with a pair of golden vertical eyes and a non-human tongue, the young reserve apprentices had tears in their eyes.

They had been reminded and told by the apprentices before they came, but when they really saw this scene, they still felt very frightened and scared in their hearts.

"Nice mental quality."

Taylor withdrew his gaze, turned around and headed out of the city with the nascent reservist apprentices.

This time there were a total of 241 reserve apprentices, about two in a city, and Taylor felt that it was too much trouble to bring these 200-plus reserve apprentices to the port.

He beckoned Kano and Poppy to drive the ship to the capital.
