The central square of Gequ City was built by the first Lord of Gequ City. The ground is covered with one-meter-square bluestone slabs, and the family crest and flag of Viscount Jessica is erected in the center.
Behind the central square is the City Lord's Mansion.
At this time, the city defense army was maintaining order.
The crowds gathered from all directions were gathered in one place by the city defense troops, forming a flow of people that continuously circled the central square.
A woman wearing a white wizard's apprentice robe and an olive leaf badge on her chest held a fist-sized translucent red bead.
Seeing that there were already a lot of people gathered, he lowered his head and said a few words to an officer of the city defense army next to him.
The city defense officer nodded respectfully, and then said loudly: "Those who come to participate in the wizard apprentice selection, in order, each group of one hundred people will come forward to accept the preliminary selection!"
Subsequently, the city defense troops who maintained order drove hundreds of children out of the crowd and came forward to be selected.
These children basically come with their parents.
At first, everyone was a little panicked when they saw the crowd around them, but now they have to leave their parents and go forward to accept the selection alone.
Some younger children immediately burst into tears and refused to leave their parents.
The wizard apprentice was used to this, so he didn't show any emotion.
However, the city defense officer felt that he had lost face and hurriedly asked the city defense soldiers to intervene.
Children and parents who were unwilling to participate in the selection were immediately kicked out.
If they want to participate again, they can only go to the back of the crowd and queue up again.
After such rectification, hundreds of children came forward to the wizard apprentice.
The white-robed wizard apprentice held the beads in his hand and recited a spell softly.
The bead immediately spread out a circle of pale red light, covering all the hundreds of children.
The white-robed wizard apprentice looked closely at the children, and when he saw a little white light coming out of the children, he couldn't help but nodded slightly.
But among the hundreds of children, only a few could emit a little white light, and there were only two in total.
"These two have knight qualifications and can stay. The rest have no qualifications."
The white-robed wizard apprentice whispered softly, and the city defense officer immediately stepped forward and asked the two children to wait aside. The other children were taken away by the city defense soldiers and returned to their parents.
Obviously, children who don't have even a little white light under the red light don't even have any chance.
At least those two with a little white light coming out have a chance to become knights.
Fang Xiaoyue also saw this scene.
He knew this very well.
That bead is used by wizard apprentices to test children's qualifications.
If there is a little white light coming out, it proves that the person has good physical potential and can become a knight in the future.
The knights are actually the armed followers of the wizards.
Although most wizards will continue to strengthen their physical bodies, they also need someone to protect them from time to time.
What's more, under some special circumstances, wizards also need cannon fodder to resist some damage. After all, when wizards are fighting, some powerful spells require reciting long spells. At this time, the knight's personal protection is needed. Very important.
Therefore, the profession of knight appeared.
Of course, on the continent of Laimeizhou, the status of knights is still very high.
You must know that the ancestors of those nobles who are not wizard apprentices are basically knights.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to create such a family fortune for his descendants.
If the child emits a little blue light under the illumination of the bead, it proves that the child has good spiritual potential and may become a wizard's apprentice.
These kind of children are the main reason why wizard apprentices come here all the way.
A group of hundreds of people, the red light shines on them, and it will be known immediately whether they have potential or not.
Even though some parents were unwilling to believe the results and kept talking about how it was possible, how could it not be possible, the general order in the central square was still well maintained.
After all, no one here dares to provoke the wizard apprentice.
In any case, as in Fang Xiaoyue's memory, there are too few children who can emit blue light under the red light of beads.
This is not surprising. In this large plane ruled by wizards, Laimeizhou originally belongs to an area with very weak energy particle radiation.
As I said before, wizards are a type of scientist.
Although many of their methods are extremely primitive and cruel, their pursuit of the essence of things is no less than that of scientists in other planes.
They have conducted in-depth research on the power possessed by wizards very early on.
They call the special energy in the environment that wizards can absorb and devour as energy particle radiation.
Areas with strong energy particle radiation are undoubtedly very suitable for wizards to live, study, and research.
In areas where energy particle radiation is very weak, wizards and wizards will feel very uncomfortable, just like a fish out of water.
And in areas where energy particle radiation is very weak, the number of humans with wizard potential will inevitably decrease.
Among the first ten groups of children, out of a thousand people, there were only five children with blue light.
This shows that the proportion of children with wizard potential is pitifully small.
There are five to six thousand children gathered here in the entire Gequ City. From this, it can be judged that no more than thirty children with wizard potential will be selected in the end.
Not long after, it was Fang Xiaoyue's turn.
Mixed in among hundreds of people, he walked up to the white-robed wizard apprentice.
Since this kind of wizard apprentice selection is held every three years, most of the children participating in the selection are between the ages of eight and eleven, mostly between the ages of 8 and 10. Children like Fang Xiaoyue, who is almost 12 or 13 years old, In fact, it is a very small minority.
Standing among a group of children between the ages of 8 and 10, Fang Xiaoyue was obviously a head taller than the other children, quite standing out from the crowd.
Even the white-robed wizard apprentice couldn't help but look at Fang Xiaoyue one more time.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Fang Xiaoyue is the shabbiest looking one.
After all, it's really rare for someone like him to have seven or eight holes in his clothes.
Those who are accompanied by their parents, even if their families are poor, at least the clothes they wear at this time are repaired.
As the white-robed wizard apprentice softly recited the incantation, the red light of the beads spread and enveloped the child in an instant.
When Fang Xiaoyue enveloped herself in red light, she felt that her spirit was unusually active, and the energy and blood in her body suddenly boiled, and even the pig demon bloodline could not help but activate.
In an instant, three colors of light, white, blue and red, bloomed on his body.
Among them, the blue light was the most dazzling, covering him completely and forming a human-shaped ball of light.
This scene immediately made Fang Xiaoyue the most eye-catching handsome boy in the square.
Even the white-robed wizard apprentice, who had always had a calm expression on his face, looked at Fang Xiaoyue in astonishment, and his cherry-shaped mouth couldn't help but open wide.
As for the two children not far away from Fang Xiaoyue, who had a little blue light blooming on their bodies, they were completely ignored by everyone.
No way, this is the same as going to the same school as the top scorer in the college entrance examination.
Although you got your best score of 600 points in the exam, the top scorer in the college entrance examination got 700 points!
At this time, everyone's eyes must be on the top scorer in the college entrance examination.
"The selection is suspended!"
The white-robed wizard apprentice spoke decisively, then stepped forward to signal Fang Xiaoyue and the other two children to follow him, then turned and walked towards the city lord's mansion.
At this time, the white-robed wizard apprentice was extremely excited.
She originally thought that she came here to Meizhou to select some ordinary seedlings, but she didn't expect that she would discover a top-notch wizard seedling!
Although she had never seen such a dazzling blue light, she could at least tell that the child's wizarding potential would not be lower than a first-level wizard.
In other words, as long as there are no accidents, the probability of this child being promoted to a first-level wizard will be 100%!
To be honest, when the white-robed wizard apprentice participated in the selection, the blue light emitting from his body was completely different from that of this child.
I have been at the level of a second-level wizard apprentice for several years. It is difficult to be promoted to a third-level wizard apprentice, let alone a formal wizard.
If you bring a seedling like this back, the reward you will receive will be a considerable amount of wealth.
Of course, because of this, she could not hide this matter and could only inform the other two wizard apprentices who were traveling with her.
After all, there is no way to hide this kind of thing.
Fang Xiaoyue followed the other party into the city lord's mansion.
When they arrived at a yard, they saw the children who had been selected playing in the yard.
The white-robed wizard apprentice asked Fang Xiaoyue to rest in the yard, and then left alone.
After a short while, the white-robed wizard apprentice, two wizard apprentices in black robes, and the red-robed wizard plus the city lord, a total of four people came to the yard.
"That's him. If Claire doesn't believe me, you can test it yourself."
The white-robed wizard apprentice pointed at Fang Xiaoyue and said crisply.
The red-robed wizard apprentice nodded, then walked over, took out a book with a red background and gold edges and several characters that Fang Xiaoyue didn't recognize on the cover. He opened it and placed it in front of Fang Xiaoyue: "Take a look and tell me I saw something."
Fang Xiaoyue curiously cast her eyes on the book.
This book looks very ordinary, but there is a fairy tale written in it.
It tells the story of a child who went to Lilliput and became a great hero.
Well, with Fang Xiaoyue's literary accomplishment, I just feel that the writing technique of this fairy tale is poor, the content of the story is relatively dark, and it has the style of a dark fairy tale. It is not a good fairy tale.
But after he finished reading the book, he saw a hole in the book.
A little man with wings came out of it. After looking at him, he was suddenly startled. He screamed something, then he pulled out the small sword on his waist and stabbed Fang Xiaoyue.
Although the sword was small, it still made Fang Xiaoyue feel extremely sharp, causing him to subconsciously take a step back.
And when he stepped back, he saw that the little man with wings was swallowed by a big bird that came out of the hole. Then the big bird turned into a field with the book as the center and expanding to the surrounding areas. .
This field soon covered the entire city lord's palace, covered with crops, and the fruits of these crops were roasted suckling pigs, white bread covered with honey, blood-red grapes, and golden pigs with calves. spoon.
Fang Xiaoyue couldn't help but reached out and grabbed a golden spoon with calves and a roasted suckling pig.
The next moment, all the illusions disappeared in an instant, leaving only the book with a red background and gold edges.
"What do you see?"
The red-robed wizard apprentice immediately asked after seeing this.
Fang Xiaoyue didn't hide anything. He knew that everything before might be a symbol of his qualifications, so he simply told everything he saw.
The red-robed wizard apprentice might not have expected that what Fang Xiaoyue saw would be so rich, and he was speechless for a moment.
Instead, it was the wizard apprentice in black robes who spoke up: "It seems that he has high wizard potential, and also has the potential of a blood wizard and a great knight."
Bloodline wizards are a type of wizard faction, and great knights are the pinnacle of the knight system.
Of course, compared to the bloodline wizard, the great knight is nothing.
At this moment, Fang Xiaoyue was shocked to find that she had been injured and was holding a golden spoon with calves and a roasted suckling pig.
"Converting the virtual to the real, it seems that your potential is really high."
The white-robed wizard apprentice saw what appeared in Fang Xiaoyue's hand and couldn't help but smile and praise.
Fang Xiaoyue was a little curious about the sudden appearance of the golden spoon and roasted suckling pig: "Can these things be eaten?"
"Everything converted through the Book of Virtual Reality can be eaten, but everyone has only one chance to convert..."
The white-robed wizard apprentice seemed to be in a happy mood and spoke more.
According to her, witchcraft props like the Book of Virtual Reality are not very precious.
But people with higher wizarding potential have an opportunity to come into contact with the Book of Illusion and Reality before becoming a wizard apprentice.
If you can successfully convert something, you've made money.
The only regret is that although others can see the converted things, they cannot touch or eat them.
Only I can touch and eat it.
Of course, this is what Fang Xiaoyue is thankful for. If others can touch and eat it, the golden spoon and roasted suckling pig in his hand will definitely not be saved.
These three wizard apprentices will use various methods to lure and threaten themselves, so as to gain the opportunity to occupy these two treasures.
After all, anything transformed from the Book of Illusion and Reality is a reward of some kind of rule. After eating it, it can enhance the wizard qualifications of a certain faction.
But no matter what, in Fang Xiaoyue's view, this wizarding plane is still very friendly to geniuses.
After all, such completely free benefits are somewhat inconsistent with the principles of wizards.
There are many principles for wizards, but the most important one is that everything has a price.
It was as if the reason why the red-robed wizard apprentice took out the Book of Illusion and Reality for Fang Xiaoyue to test was just to determine his potential.
Now the results are obvious, Fang Xiaoyue's potential is really not low.
In this case, when the three of them return to the Wizarding Continent, they will be able to obtain very high rewards.
