After a night of thunder and lightning, the residents of Sancha Town slept collectively the next morning.

Klose and his party also slept until lunchtime before getting up. However, when they came to the hall on the first floor to eat. Only to find out that the originally overcrowded meal time, but there were only two tables of guests?!

I asked the little girl in the bar, and then I got the answer, it turned out that the head chef also slept lazily....

After a hurried lunch, everyone went to the Forest of Disillusionment again in their own pig cart. And this time, it's just to accompany Klose to the magic test.

Every time the magical city of Floating City enrolls students, it attracts a large number of magic lovers. And among these people, there are some magicians who are already famous.

Since there are no restrictions on gender, race, age, and occupation in Floating City, as long as you are interested in magic and want to learn more about magic, you can try your luck in applying for the exam.

And the method of selecting apprentices in the floating city is also very simple, that is, as mentioned earlier, the plasticity of the magic crystal is the first step, and the floating ladder is the second step. Whoever has completed these two steps to ascend to the Floating City has already become a member of the city.

When Klose and the others returned to the gathering place in the forest, they found that there was already a long queue there.

He pulled a man standing at the end of the line and asked, it turned out that these people were all here to prepare for the magic test.

Klose stood at the end of the line, feeling a little depressed. He looked at the twists and turns of the long line, and felt that even for the concert in his previous life, he did not have such a spectacular ticket-buying line.

The magic test has officially begun!

Several magicians dressed in various robes sat at a table, and in the center of them was the legendary magic crystal!

The origin of this crystal is unknown, the origin is unknown, and the usage is really unknown. Beyond the ability to visualize the magic in each person's body, other uses have not yet been developed.

The process of testing is unexpectedly fast, and anyone who fails is very fast in this test!

Klose took out his binoculars and observed, and found that many people had just put their hands on them when a magician rang the silver bell in his hand and shouted "next".

Yes, many people don't conjure up any patterns at all, so that means that these people's physique is not suitable for learning magic at all, and they don't have the slightest magic power.

Occasionally, of course, there were howls of excitement and applause from the front of the line, but more often than not, they were filled with envious glances from those who passed.

Bored, Klose pulls out a comic book and reads it as they walk, but the boys have already gone to the Magic Bazaar to continue shopping, claiming that they also want to buy some combat gadgets.

Looking at the long line, Diana yawned boredly, even though she had just woken up.

"Ah~~~~ Master~~ It's so boring, let's talk to the two of us~"

Klose flipped through the book in his hand without raising his head: "What did you say?" ”

Diana thought for a moment and asked, "What about that big iron bump next to you?" Where did it go? ”

Hearing this, Klose shook his body and simply closed the book.

Oh, yes! Where's Kane? Could it be that if it is slapped into its own body, it will never come out again?

Klose enters the world of his own consciousness. I saw that there was still a dead man's head, a pot of flowers, and an uncle, but there was no shadow of Kane.

"Uncle Ocassi, have you seen a pair of walking armor in my body?"

Ocassi shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Is that the magic armor?" It does not belong to the illusory thing in the world of consciousness, it is a physical object. ”

Klose spread his hands and said with a bitter face: "But I can't find it, it was slapped into my body and disappeared." ”

"Feel it with your heart, child.... I can feel that it is interconnected with your life..... It's like a part of your body, not like us foreign objects. ”

Klose scratched his head and withdrew from the world of consciousness.

That said... Kane, is this completely compatible with himself? But what if you want to transform in the future?

Klose scratched his head again, still unable to figure out the point.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar face in the crowd in front of him.

"Huh? Isn't that Ian? ”

Klose saw Ian, who had been rescued by his party from the underground pharmacy in Pumpkin Town, the eldest son of the old Bill family, who was proficient in alchemy.

"Diana! Help me line up here and take a seat~~ I'll go over and say hello! ”

"Hey! Host~..."

Diana frowned and stamped her feet, she watched Klose throw his head away without looking back, and was so angry that she pouted her little mouth.

Her appearance made everyone else around her blush and heartbeat.

No way, our Miss Heilong is not only in good shape, but also has a "green tea" appearance, as long as she is a man, she wants to take a few more looks.

But he didn't care about any other man except Klose.

At this moment, she glared angrily and glanced around. All the men bowed their heads, and none of them dared to look at her!

Klose trotted to the front of the group and patted the man on the shoulder.

"Hey! Ian~~ Why are you here too? ”

The man was taken aback. Looking back, he looked surprised when he saw Klose!

"Huh? Is it a benefactor!? ”

Cross waved his hand and smiled, "What benefactor is not benefactor?" Just call me by name! By the way, Ian, are your family okay? ”

Ian nodded excitedly, his voice trembling a little as he spoke.

"Mr. Klose! My parents are in good health, and my younger brother has found a job in the town, so he is no longer idle. I really can't imagine what would have become of our family without your help! ”

Klose patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Don't be so polite~~ Are you also here to participate in the magic apprenticeship assessment?" ”

Speaking of the topic of magic apprentices, Ian's expression became extremely excited, and he spoke a lot more neatly.

"Make sir! I felt that my alchemy had reached a bottleneck, and I had heard that there was a course dedicated to alchemy in Floating City, so I wanted to try my luck... Are you too? ”

Klose spread his hands noncommittally and said, "Harm! Why not? Magic is such an interesting thing, of course, I want to learn a few more tricks. ”

"But sir, you're already a very good magician, aren't you?"

Klose couldn't help but blush, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, don't pressure your body with more skills~~ There's no harm in learning more knowledge, isn't it?" ”

"Hehe~Yes, yes~" Ian looked behind Klose and asked, "What about the other benefactors?" Not with you? ”

"They? They've gone to the Magic Bazaar, and you'll see him in a moment. After you finish the assessment in a while, remember to wait for me~ I'll invite you to dinner! ”

Klose saw that it was almost Ian's turn to assess, so he didn't bother anymore. He waved goodbye to Ian and turned back to his place.

Ian calmed down and looked at the few remaining teams in front of him, cheering himself up inwardly.

"Ian! You can too! Alchemy is your friend! You won't be able to do magic, but if you're taking the test with your friends, you'll have no problem! And Mr. Klose is still watching! ”

"Next~" shouted the magician in charge of the assessment.

Ian let out a breath and strode forward. It's just that his movements look a little stiff, and it's still the right foot and right hand that step first.... He turned around.

There was a sound of good-natured laughter from the crowd behind, and an old mage in charge of the assessment looked up at him and said softly, "Don't be afraid, child, put your hands up." ”

Ian took a deep breath and decisively placed his left hand on the magic crystal.

The crystal was about the size of a person's head, and it was transparent throughout, but there was a lot of white mist circulating slowly inside.

Just as Ian pressed his palm against the surface, the mist in the crystal ball began to change! Soon. Some of the white mist shakily came together, and after a while they parted again, as if they were being kneaded by an invisible hand.

This change lasted about two minutes, which is not common among the previous examiners. Generally, as long as you don't pass the assessment, it's basically a few seconds.

Ian's heart pounded, and his eyes were fixed on the action in the crystal ball. He knew that the longer he stayed here, the better his hopes of passing the test!

Soon, five minutes had passed, and the speed of change in the crystal ball had gradually flattened, and the shape that had been conjured up was already recognizable to people close to it.

Well.... It was clearly shaped like the kind of glass test tube that you often see on alchemists' desks! It's just that there is not one magic crystal in it, but a row.

The three old mages in charge of the assessment looked at each other and whispered a few words.

"Congratulations, kid, you've passed this level of testing, and your magic is very targeted, stick to it deeply, and you'll get great results in your field! Please go this way. ”

An old mage sitting on the edge smiled at Ian and pointed to the floating staircase not far away.

It's done!

Ian clenched his fists. In fact, he had already vaguely had this idea when the gas in the crystal ball had just changed shape, but now hearing the magician say it was a different mood.

He thanked the three magicians, then turned and waved in Klose's direction, signaling that he had gone up the stairs first, and that he was waiting for him on it.

Klose made a "yes" gesture to encourage Ian.

But when the line was about to reach Klose, he became nervous for no reason.

What's wrong? Why should I be nervous? I'm a magic genius~! Shouldn't such a quiz be drizzle? Did you just send it away?

Klose shook his head for some reason, but he noticed that his palms were starting to sweat and his legs were a little twisted.

Suddenly, he seemed to know why. This feels.... Why is it so like waiting for the issuance of the college entrance examination results before? It's so tormenting!

Well, after reciting the Diamond Sutra three times in a row, he calmed down a little, and the line to take the test was already lined up with him.

"Come, kid, don't be nervous, just put your hand on this crystal ball, soon."

Klose felt that the gray-robed mage in front of him was like a seducent trafficker, and it felt like his next sentence would be "Climb the mountain?" The kind that never goes back. ”

Well, maybe he was overthinking.

Klose straightened his clothes, walked over to the magic crystal, and gently pressed his palm against it.
