Chapter 2 Parting

"Unqualified, next."

The girl next door in front of Link was also eliminated, her eyes red and her mouth pursed tightly.

Link didn't pay much attention to it, he only had one thought at the moment:

Finally, it's my turn!

Before that, the whole army was wiped out, and not a single person qualified.

The four peers standing behind Wizard Paro all showed more or less pride or contempt.

But they do have the capital to be proud of.

Wizard Paro landed on the Kuate Islands and visited seven large and small noble territories before selecting four teenagers with qualifications below the third rank and above.

These four people can be described as one in a hundred and one in ten thousand geniuses.

Moreover, once selected by the Paro wizard, his status immediately changed dramatically.

The nobles and lords who are high up on weekdays have to speak to them in a low voice, and they have to put down their bodies and flatter them.

Becoming a wizard's apprentice, the power has not yet been added, and the sweetness of power has been tasted first.

Link took a deep breath and stepped forward, placing his hands steadily on the crystal ball.

He felt two streams of air rushing into his body from his hands.

The cold air emitted by the black transparent crystal ball enters the brain from the left hand along the arm and neck.

The air flow emitted by the colorless transparent crystal ball warms up from the right hand along the arm and chest into the viscera.

The two streams of air each swirled for a while, and then returned to the crystal ball the same way they came.

The crystal ball began to glow.

The colorless transparent crystal ball emits a rich blue and verdant glow, and the black transparent crystal ball emits a very dazzling white light.

Wizard Paro, who had been squinting his eyes slightly, suddenly widened his eyelids, and his voice was slightly surprised, and said: "Innate spiritual power 17, high-level affinity for water-based elements, and high-level affinity for wood-based elements. Wizard qualifications are ranked in the fourth class in the comprehensive score. ”

The words fell, and the entire castle hall fell silent.

Then, all kinds of eyes fell on Link, some envious, some jealous, and some hateful.

There will always be people who can't get it, and they don't want others to get it.

"Stand behind me."

Wizard Paro quickly regained his cold posture and commanded softly.

"Yes."

Link bowed to the Wizard of Paro and walked to the left behind the Wizard of Paro, standing next to the blonde girl.

Four peers, a pair of twin siblings, a brown-haired teenager with different sizes on the left and right eyes, plus a blonde and blue-eyed girl, nodded to Link at the same time.

Obviously, Link was accepted by them, and there was a vague hint of a deliberate friendship.

Link smiled back with a friendly smile.

He didn't know that the most qualified of the four people was a brown-haired boy with big and small eyes, and he was lower than the fourth class.

The twin siblings, like the blonde girl, are all third-class.

As soon as Link arrived, he became the most qualified.

And Wizard Paro revealed that the probability of being promoted to a full-fledged wizard with a third-class qualification is between three and four percent, and the probability of being promoted to a full-fledged wizard with a fourth-class qualification is four to fifty percent.

Converted into a four-in-one, wouldn't there be a four-in-five chance of being promoted to an official wizard?

Of course, this algorithm is incorrect.

But there's always a little bit of convincing, right?

……

The wizard qualification test was over, and it took a morning.

A total of sixty-eight people from the Viscount of Holiday participated, and only Link. Grande alone received a valuable ticket to the main continent.

Viscount Holiday, who had been watching the inspection ceremony, was very happy.

It is of great benefit for a territorial nobleman like them, who are scattered on the islands and island nations scattered in the stormy sea, to be able to send a wizard apprentice to the main continent.

Rewards from wizard organizations in the main continent, such as knight breathing, potions, rune items, etc., not to mention, wizard apprentices from the territory or even official wizards are active in the main continent, and the nobles of the territory do not have to worry much about the pouring from the surrounding nobles.

If I meet a sorcerer who cherishes my homeland and returns to my hometown on a whim, only to find that my territory has been destroyed, what kind of hell will I be?

……

"Master Paro, the contemptible man has prepared a banquet, and please enjoy the light to the banquet, and let me fulfill the friendship of the landlord."

Viscount Holiday humbly extended an invitation to the wizard of Paro.

"Hmm."

Wizard Paro nodded slightly, responding without being salty, and then turned to Link: "You go home, pack some clothes and luggage, and say goodbye to your family, we will leave in the afternoon." ”

Link was slightly stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect the schedule to be so tight, but he quickly reacted, and said after saluting Wizard Paro, "Thank you, Wizard Paro, I'll go back." ”

With that, Link walked out of the hall.

Viscount Holiday gave the butler standing aside.

The butler understood, and immediately stepped forward, accompanied Link out of the castle hall, and arranged for a carriage to send him off.

It's a bit of a homecoming.

High-end carriages, reserved for nobles, escorted by knights in addition to coachmen.

If he is really a young man who has never experienced the world, I am afraid that he will be moved by Viscount Holiday this set.

Link's home, Ionjue Castle, is not too far away, taking more than half an hour to walk, and only about ten minutes by horse-drawn carriage.

The Grande family had already heard the news from the teenagers who had been tested behind Link but had been eliminated, and a large number of relatives who had been close, not very close, or even not very close on weekdays had gathered.

The head of the family, the usually taciturn blacksmith Grande, had a red face and accepted the blessings and congratulations of his relatives.

And Mrs. Grande (hmm...... This title was not available until Link was chosen by the Wizard Master) stood outside the door, looking in the direction of the Viscount's Castle.

In the past, Viscountdom Holiday has also been chosen by wizards.

Anyone as old as her knew that in the afternoon, the wizard would take people away.

What Mrs. Grande was thinking about at the moment was not the future wealth of the family, but the little son who had been injured once more than a year ago and had changed a lot since he woke up.

At last, in the anticipation of Mrs. Grande, a noble and splendid carriage drove by.

Mrs. Grande bowed her head, rubbed her reddened eyes, turned into the house, took out the parcel which she had put in order, and got into the carriage.

"Mom......"

After the knight pulled the door, Link got out of the carriage and saw Lady Grande approaching, and shouted cordially.

Before he could say anything, Mrs. Grande had already slipped the package into Link's arms, and grabbed his hands hard, but there was no word for a long time.

After a while, Mrs. Grande took her youngest son by the hand and pushed him towards the carriage, and said in a choked voice, "Go, little Link, study hard, and don't worry about home." ”

She refused to let Link be pestered by her relatives with different thoughts, and she didn't let go until she pushed Link into the carriage.

Link did not disobey Mrs. Grande and motioned for the coachman to turn around and leave.

Through the curtains, Link saw Mrs. Grande standing there, waving as the carriage departed.

In the face of children who travel far away, the mother is concerned about herself, but she always tells her children not to worry about them.

It is not easy to be accompanied, but it is done and cherished.
