Crystal Yao (1)
The Realm Gate is a combination of magic and alchemy. Using a large amount of magic crystal energy to make parallel jumps in space can minimize the distance. However, due to the expensiveness of magic crystal ore and the burning amount used each time, only nobles, wealthy merchants and mages can enjoy this convenient invention.
In the 654th year of Guangmingli, thirteen days after the beginning of summer, Deka, the guard of the Realm Gate, was bored to flip through the gossip tabloids in his hand.
In recent days, Toutiao has changed the news that a noble playboy bullied the people or that a high-ranking official was granted bribes. The Grand Duke, the ruler of Taran, once again topped the list. In the jewelry store that is famous for its high price, he bought a pair of jewelry that is so expensive to the common people for his new lover Milina. Once this matter was reported, it immediately became the most common topic for civilians to talk about after dinner.
"Tsk, these noble masters are so much money that they have nowhere to spend... If you don't want to take it out, it's better than buying things that can only be seen but not eaten."
"Hey~ If you want to lie to the prison, don't implicate me." Another guard standing opposite looked around nervously, for fear that someone would listen to the report.
"Just talk, who doesn't know that the Duchess is a famous gold mine in Jingyao? The Empire's annual support is not only this little Taran, but it only provides the entire West Asian League...Why...what are you doing?"
The unrestrained Deka was in a state of excitement. The gate behind him suddenly lit up, and the guards of his class immediately rushed over to stop him from speaking again. Someone was arriving at Jing Yao through the gate. The words of careless words, just based on the disrespectful remarks just now, were enough for the kid to squat in the water prison for half a month.
A white light flashed, and a man dressed like a civilian came out of the gate. Strangely, a silver-gray puppy was followed by him.
"Uh... am I dazzled?" Deka blinked and looked at another guard who was still in a daze. Obviously, he was also shocked by the scene he had just seen.
"Why did I see an animal with two heads? It seems like... a dog?"
The two of them looked back, and one man and one dog had disappeared from the corner of the street. They had the same feeling as them, and the guard of Jingyao Academy, but with a wider range of knowledge, he took the invitation letter from the person, while scanning the fierce dog with the corner of his eyes... Oh no, wolf cub.
Using monsters as demon pets, this freshman really has a personality.
Lunas thought about it and took out the verification tool. He took a photo on the letter paper. The seal immediately reflected a layer of fluorescent white cold light. While the doorman handed over the invitation letter, he also handed out a clever key.
"This is a pass, and can only be used once."
After taking the special key made by magic, the young man turned to face the college gate on one side. Apart from the lifelike statues of the two ends, the door attracted more attention because it could reflect the figure like a mirror. All the scenery and light around disappeared, leaving only bare figures.
The strangely shaped "key" was stuffed into the only concave and bump of the door, and the sound of gears rotating sounded.
Kala Kala...
A black hole appeared in the middle of the mirror for only one person to pass through. The wolf cub who was originally sitting on the ground suddenly jumped to the young man's shoulder. After he lifted his feet and stepped in, the door, which was rippling like the water, immediately closed.
"It turns out it was him, the tongueless person who made Jing Yao make an exception in the first time in fifty years..." Lunas murmured to himself.
The rumors about this freshman were spreading in the academy in just two days. Everyone speculated that they must be the illegitimate son of a great nobleman. Because most of the wizards who enter Jingyao from all over the world every year are named genius in the local area, so few people take the title of "genius" to heart.
There was no light in the narrow, dark passage, and Victor walked forward without a trace of hesitation or hesitation.
This dark passage is the famous test path and is a necessary process for every person to enter Jingyao Academy. Once the magic placed on the passage is activated, various illusions will be generated. The mentors of various departments hidden behind the magic circle will observe the new mage through farsighted spells, and then find the most suitable faction. Although this mandatory judgment deprives the mage of his own choice in some aspects, it is generally the most feasible method.
Soon, Victor encountered the first obstacle on the road.
The darkness shone with stars and lights, they merged together to form a woman with a charming figure, with a very seductive low and gentle smile echoing in the air.
Victor passed by indifferently and smashed the gorgeous phantom into a fog shape. The scattered fog condensed into an old man with wrinkles on his face, Wood's mentor.
"Don't you want to inherit my position? Victor... don't go to Jingyao."
The lich moves forward straightly, and this trick doesn't affect its mind at all.
"Why don't you give me a hug? As long as you want, I can pass on my property and title to you." The old man who was dispersed again made another figure and stopped him in front of Victor again. The image of Duke Mendel still could not stop it.
"Victor..." After the third failure, a tender offensive followed. Wood's mother Lea Yu choked up Victor's sleeve, but the cold lich still had no intention of stopping.
The phantom that cannot be effective and can see through the human heart changes again.
"My wish is to hold the world in my hands."
The conceited boy raised his head slightly, his eyes and mouth were filled with intimidating dignity, which was seriously inconsistent with his age.
The footsteps had only a brief pause, and Victor frowned and passed by five degrees. When it broke the phantom of the boy who was about to reach him, the sound of the gears turning sounded again.
"Victor Wood, you are assigned to the War Department and from now on you can enter the auditorium located in the West Side of the College to learn about it."
A slightly familiar voice came from the darkness. As soon as Victor searched in his memory, he immediately remembered that he was an old mage who had shown up at the last level of the Adventurer exam.
What's the name... It seems to be Ramd?
As the passage opened, it appeared before it a wide avenue where five carriages could be parallel, with tall trees planted on both sides. The mages in groups of three or three, walking or standing, formed a huge contrast with the bustling traffic outside the academy. The only thing that was inconsistent with this quiet atmosphere was a huge arrow sign made by magic in the air.
Victor thought about it and finally decided to follow the prompts.
After turning two straight right, a small building stands at the end of the cobbled road, with signs erected at the door saying "New Life Reporting Place".
Squeak...
Pushing open the old wooden door, a middle-aged man sitting inside was penciling.
"You are new here, right? Write down your name, origin and faction here. I will arrange your accommodation according to the situation." Without raising my head, I pushed a registration book as thick as a classic, and the man still buried his head in writing.
The quill scratched the paper with a subtle sound. When Victor put down his pen and glanced at the name on the register, the man in charge of the registration suddenly looked up.
"So you are the new student who has been rumored recently..."
[Please allocate my dormitory.] Raise the tongue stick to satisfy the other party’s curiosity, and urge him to say that time is precious.
"Let me see... war is... um... this is really difficult..." The eyes moved back and forth between the register and Victor, and finally "hardly" stamped the seal in his hand.
"I decided to divide you into Room 07, West Courtyard."
Taking another magic key, Victor turned and left, regardless of the man's inquiring gaze.
"Two evil wizards live together, the command from the superior is really..."
※※※※※※※※※※※※
"How is this illegitimate son of His Excellency?"
The mentors from various departments connected through magical messaging immediately started a discussion after Victor walked out of the passage.
"The mind is good and worth cultivating."
Several mentors from non-Senate origin have a high evaluation. Although there are many people who can withstand temptation, it is rare to see women who don’t want money, power, or women like him.
"I'm most afraid of this kind of three unscrupulous master. If you want nothing, it's the most dangerous thing." Ramd was dissatisfied with everyone's unanimous praise for Victor.
"This is the case with the evil one who believes in power first. You also get the dangerous figure of Kelin in the adventurer exam." Cheno always sang the opposite. He also despised Ramde's abuse of power and assigned Victor to his own disciple's faction.
Although the war is in line with the development direction of the duke's illegitimate son, the person in charge of the group was Ramd's eldest disciple, and it is inevitable that he would be suspicious of being favored.
"Okay, let's not worry about his identity. Don't forget that he is also a rare genius. If he can guide him smoothly, he is a talent." The great magician Peilu spoke. As the highest person in charge of the academy, he has a lot of prestige among mages. Even ambitions like Ramde who only wants to get ahead also respect him.
"Teacher, this kid is already a complete necromancer. Even if he has no intention of doing evil, he still..."
"If a mage who is proficient in undead spells can be absorbed for use by the academy, the so-called threat can also become a blessing." After saying this, Pero first cut off the magic connection.
Regarding the Dean's decision, all the mages involved in the observation cannot change whether they agree or object.
"It's interesting, this Victor Wood..." Cheno gently stroked his chin. After seeing Victor himself with his own eyes, he had a lot of interest.
