There are more than 3,000 children with the potential to become magicians, and only the top 500 in talent can stay in the capital.
The remaining two thousand people will be sent to magic academies in various counties and cities to provide them with fresh blood.
Each of the elders of these children will receive a generous reward. They no longer have to sleep in the open on the way back, and can rent a carriage to bring the good news back home to the countryside faster. When a person achieves enlightenment, nothing can compare to the ascension of chickens and dogs to heaven.
That afternoon, Goode took Yiran to help Yudie go through the enrollment procedures.
The No. 1 Magic Academy dares to be called No. 1 because it is the strongest in the country in all aspects.
The academy occupies the largest area, has the largest library that collects the most complete collection of magic, has the most complete training facilities, and has the largest teaching staff. The principal of the academy is the most powerful person who fought with the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the ancient city and survived. One of the magisters!
Apart from the royal family, it can be said that the first magic academy is the strongest force in the principality, and only the first martial arts academy can rival it. Countless powerful people in the principality were once students of the academy, and now they are at the top of various forces. It is conceivable how powerful the influence of the college is, but all colleges only stand for their own students. As long as they graduate from the college, life or death has nothing to do with the college, and the college will never intervene in any disputes between forces!
The magic academy has five grades in total. Children can graduate after five years of study and reach the level of a great magician. If they are still at the level of a magician, they will be considered to be dismissed. If you reach Grand Mage in advance, you can also graduate early. Just because you can exchange for generous resources in the academy, almost no one will make this choice.
Arriving at the entrance of the First Magic Academy, there was already a sea of people here. There were only five hundred children who had signed up, but their elders and countless onlookers crowded the entire gate.
Looking at the First Magic Academy from a distance, the wall is only three feet high and the gate does not look very impressive. When you walk in, you can clearly see the marks of historical vicissitudes on the stone wall. The door is made of fine iron and is extremely heavy. The monks carved on the door are lifelike. Some are wearing robes and holding wands, and some are wearing armor and holding hands. Holding heavy swords and spears, countless ferocious monsters fell at their feet. Those monsters are also lifelike, with every scale and feather clearly visible. The huge body is terrifying, and the sharp claws flash with cold light, giving the illusion of being unstoppable.
Many children will be frightened and cry when they see the carvings on the door for the first time. Even if the elders scold the children, they will not hear them at all. In fact, many of the elders saw this kind of carving for the first time. They were also frightened even if they had never seen a Warcraft before. But being scared to tears by a carving of a Warcraft would definitely be a stain on the path of magic practice in the future.
The seniors who led the way were not anxious or urging. Even if the children were frightened and cried and couldn't walk, they just stood aside and waited silently.
Cry, you have cried enough now. When you really face the brutal monster, you won't have so many tears anymore.
When children are tired from crying, some cry until they fall asleep. Their elders followed their children's seniors into the academy. Those seniors were also only children in their early ten years. What had they experienced to become so calm?
Send the children to their dormitories according to the number plate issued by the instructor at the door, and leave with some instructions.
Each child has his own independent dormitory. Although the dormitory is not large, it is fully furnished, clean and comfortable. The teaching building is not far from the dormitory area, and all magic theory knowledge will be taught there in the next five years. Because the First Martial Arts Academy will also recruit students tomorrow, the academy will start formal classes on the third day on the same day as the Martial Arts Academy, allowing these new students to see the style of warriors.
After successfully completing the admission procedures, a tall girl with ponytail led Good and the other three into the academy. Today, Goode did not wear a robe. At this moment, he was more like an ordinary village old man without any pretense.
But in the eyes of the ponytail girl, the combination of an old man and two children is a bit strange. If you are a child from a big family, there will definitely be seniors from your own family who will lead the way. If not, then two children from an ordinary family can all become magicians? That's too rare.
The girl's name is Sun Wan. She is an eleven third-grade student. She is now an eleven-star wind magician. She is about to join the ranks of great magicians, and her grades are among the best in the entire third grade. She is very enthusiastic and helpful, so she comes to help the new students at the juncture of becoming a great magician. Even though he followed his mentor and classmates to the World of Warcraft Forest several times and witnessed several bloody killings, his mentor would only come to the rescue when facing death.
In every adventure, several companions would be seriously injured. Because he was a wind magician and moved extremely fast, he still suffered several minor injuries. But none of this has changed her cheerful and lively personality. Even if she is living in hatred, life cannot be without a smile!
Walking under the gate, Yudie was also shocked by the momentum of the carvings on the gate. The magnificent scene surpassed the imagination of all those who have not become monks.
Yi Ran felt nothing at all. His young hands touched the carvings on the fine iron gate, and a trace of icy cold air came from his fingers, spreading throughout his body and then disappearing. The largest monster carved on the fine iron door is a scaly ape, its body so huge and powerful that its muscles are about to burst. After silently watching all the monsters, Yiran put down his hand and looked inside the academy.
As for Gude, his eyes were slightly closed without even raising his eyelids. What was carved on the door was the battle that happened more than thirty years ago. He was also carved on the door, even at the highest position.
When Sun Wan saw Yudie and Yiran, their eyes were full of surprise. Even if the child who saw the monster for the first time was not frightened and cried, he should have some signs of fear, even if it was a carving. But she didn't know that the two of them had seen real monsters, or had direct contact with them without any resistance!
This also aroused Sun Wan's curiosity, and she, who was already enthusiastic and cheerful, introduced the door.
Engraved on the door are the heroes and the slain monsters from the disaster that nearly destroyed the Wind and Fire Principality more than thirty years ago. The one wearing armor at the top is the old king of Tang Zong, but the mysterious magician beside him does not know who he is.
Look at the five magicians in the second row. The first one is our principal Li Ji, and the second one is Tang Ling. It is said that he is from the royal family. The last three names are Song Xiao, Zhao Wuming, and Zhou Hui. They are all seniors of the ten major families, and they all died in the disaster.
The leader of these monsters below is the half-step spiritual-level Vajra Ape, which is so powerful that it can break mountains, break rocks, and destroy the world. The ones behind are all sixth-level monsters, such as the Nether Demon Tiger, the Lightning Sable, the Ice Winged Beast, the Steel-Toothed Earth Dragon, and so on.
That's a sixth-level monster! If our ten-person team goes out to practice, we must treat even the early-stage first-order monsters with caution. Someone will be injured when encountering the mid-stage first-order monsters. The last time we encountered a first-level perfect ghost wolf, four people in our team were seriously injured and the remaining six were all slightly injured. It was the accompanying instructor Zhang Xuan who dragged us back together. If the instructor did not take action at the critical moment, it would really kill my sister.
But fortunately, Sun Wan clicked on the ten silver stars on the collar of her robe. After that battle, every partner made a breakthrough. I also reached the perfection of the magician, and further reached the graduation standard.
I won't graduate early, hehehe, the academy's reward system is much better than the Magicians Association or the market.
He had to stay for five years, so Sun Wan tightened her fists.
Obviously, she is also a child born in an ordinary family, and she must continue to work hard for resources.
From the profile, Sun Wan looks very delicate, with very delicate facial features. Clear eyes, tall nose, crystal lips, and neat ponytail. Although the skin is slightly dark, except for the children of big families who often go out for training, who else has dark skin? Even though he is already a third-grade student, after all, he is only eleven years old, still a half-grown child.
As soon as I officially stepped into the academy, the hustle and bustle of the capital faded away in an instant, with only the chirping of insects and birds still ringing in my ears.
Looking up, I can't see the row upon row of luxuriously decorated teaching buildings in my memory. I can't see the crowds of people riding bicycles. Only two rows of ancient trees on the roadside greet students and guests entering the school.
Originally, Sun Wan would lead Yudie directly to the dormitory area and explain the subsequent arrangements. However, the enthusiastic Sun Wan led the three of them through the school dining room, inspected the library training room, and even the competition platform. . These buildings are all painted with various runes and are full of mystery. Just one look at them makes one feel like his whole soul is about to sink into them.
Many people who passed by said hello to Sun Wan along the way. Especially when they arrived at the competition stage, many people said hello to Sun Wan. It can be imagined that Sun Wan is also a fighting maniac. Otherwise, how could a civilian mage be in the third grade? Cultivation to the level of magician perfection!
Two hours passed after wandering like this, and the group of four finally arrived at the dormitory area.
Sun Wan asked Yiran's name and number plate, but received no reply. Sun Wan's face suddenly froze and she was extremely embarrassed. This kid didn't come here to study! No wonder he dared to touch the monster on the school gate. It turned out that he couldn't sense the elements or the momentum contained in it! After all, I was overthinking it. It was so rare for ordinary people to want two mages from one sect.
Then he asked Yudie's name and number plate. Sun Wan was confused for a long time when she saw Yudie's name. She always felt that the name was very familiar. When I saw that the number of the dormitory on the number plate was actually the one with the strongest elemental power, I finally realized it. It's that Rain Butterfly! A monster-level genius with dual talents in the Naling Demon Mansion! Sun Wan's face, which had not yet recovered from its stiffness, turned stiff again. This was actually a strange combination in this year's talent test. The little girl who acted timid and hesitant turned out to be a monster, and the boy who acted calm and majestic turned out to be unable to feel the elements.
Sun Wan couldn't help but look back at Yiran again, sighing in her heart, what a pity.
He gave Yudie some instructions about the school's arrangements, and asked Yudie to come to him if he had any difficulties in the future. His dormitory was right next to this, and he left first after saying that.
He tidied up the dormitory a little, placed the common books given to him by Grandpa Good on the table, and stored the precious ones in the space ring. The simple space ring is engraved with a pattern of sycamore wood, which is the symbol of the Weapon Refining Guild. This space ring is several cubic meters in size, and it is not comparable to those space rings given by the owner of the house.
After locking the dormitory door, the three of them returned to the Tianzihao wing of the inn. The three of them sat around the table, on which were placed the pastries just delivered by the maid.
Good looked at the two of them with great meaning. Yudie, who had taken care of him for eight years, had such an amazing talent, while Yiran, who performed exceptionally well, had no magic potential. It was a twist of fate. In this way, Yudie can take care of herself, and Yiran has nothing to worry about. Thinking of this, Gude was also a little happy, his eyes narrowed slightly and his white eyebrows trembled. The ravines on his face made Good look really old.
Refining medicine requires a lot of energy, and even after trying various methods to improve your qualifications, you can only reach the level of a great magician. Because he does not have the strength to match the alchemy skills, he always consumes a lot of energy and energy when refining precious potions. As a result, he became older and his life span was shortened a lot. Otherwise, the lifespan of a fourth-level expert without hidden diseases would be around 150 years.
Yudie was raised by himself, and he regarded her as his granddaughter. Although Yi Ran had only known him for less than two months, he knew that he was a very good junior. After Yiran enters the First Martial Arts Academy tomorrow, he will have to leave. Either he must find the legendary life-extending potion, or he must find a way to improve his strength, but these are so difficult.
Yudie and Yiran lowered their heads, thinking a lot in their hearts.
Yudie's face turned slightly pale, she clenched her fists and pursed her lips to prevent tears from falling, and she didn't know how to speak.
"Grandpa Gude said he was leaving before. Now that I have entered the Magic Academy, grandpa will definitely leave after Yiran makes arrangements."
"But I can't stop Grandpa Gude from taking risks. That is Grandpa's hope of living longer. But how many terrible monsters will he encounter along the way! I can't go on adventures with Grandpa. I haven't started practicing yet. He’s just a dragster.”
Yiran also lowered his head. Although he was an eight-year-old child now, his mind had already matured. This kind of reunion has been anticipated since parting, but when this day comes, I still feel reluctant to leave.
After traveling through time, I had no one to rely on, but a strange old man guided me to integrate into this world and taught me countless experiences for survival. This is a true guide and teacher!
After a long moment of silence, Goode took a piece of pastry and chewed it gently. The pastry exuded a subtle floral fragrance. Then he spoke.
"Tomorrow, after boy Yiran enters school, I will leave. I was worried about your future life, Xiao Yudie, but your evil talent is really enviable even to me. If you practice well in the academy, you may have a chance to study in five years. When you graduate, you already have the opportunity to step into the realm of magicians. You also have the opportunity to travel in the empire, which is a place where monsters are rampant. Although your talent is indeed that of a monster, in this remote principality, you can only practice hard in the future. Only then will we have a chance to compete with those people.”
"Actually, it's good not to argue. Even if you don't work hard with your monster talent, you will definitely be able to become a great magician or even a magister in ten or twenty years. You will be considered a giant in the Wind and Fire Principality. If you want to win the wind, Come rain or shine, as long as there is no large-scale disaster-level monster wave, you can basically spend your life in peace. But..."
But as soon as the two words came out, a killing intent that emerged from the mountain of corpses and sea of blood spread from Goode's body, and it was bone-chilling cold. The plainclothes on Goode's body made a buzzing sound under this momentum, which gave Yudie the helplessness and coldness he felt when he encountered the green-eyed poisonous python.
"But you have such a talent, don't you want to know which force is chasing you, where you were born, and whether you still have relatives alive! You must know that several fourth-level animals were killed in that fight. Warcraft, that is an existence that even I can't match. With your monster-level talent, you must be able to surpass me, and you can even do it in just a few years. But if you want to get back what you lost. Just You have to make endless efforts to grasp your past.”
After saying these words, Goode's murderous intention suddenly disappeared, and he became the kind and solemn old man again. Almost none of the truly strong men were created by relying on resources. Every one of them survived fighting countless monsters, and every one of them contained terrifying murderous intent.
Yudie burst into tears after hearing these words. Even though she has accepted this reality in the past two days and has become stronger, she will always feel a little sad when she thinks of the difficulties in the future. The nails in his clenched fists were dug into the flesh, and his lips were bitten until they turned white. He was holding back tears from falling from his eyes. She is only eight years old!
After talking about Yudie, Gude looked up at Yiran again.
"Boy Yiran, you have been following me for more than two months, and you have also learned a lot of my alchemy skills from Yudie. Although you don't have the name of a disciple, you are actually a disciple. I checked you when you were in a coma. His body has never been trained but he has ice muscles and jade bones. He should be a wizard in training. Since he can't practice magic, he can try his hand at martial arts. I thought you could take care of Yudie, but I never thought that Yudie was not bad either. Then I can only say that if Yudie encounters difficulties in the future, I still hope you can help."
"Of course, Yudie's talent is extremely high and her cultivation path goes very quickly. If you encounter a situation where you can't do anything, you should take care of yourself first and don't involve yourself."
After speaking, Goode took out a space ring and handed it to Yiran.
"This space ring is not precious, but it contains some medicine refining experiences that I have recorded, as well as some heavenly materials and earthly treasures, as well as the money exchanged for the green-eyed poisonous python. I hope it can help you enter the warrior realm as soon as possible. Become a true monk. It is given by the elders and cannot be declined!"
Seeing Yiran dripping blood and recognizing his master, Gude nodded with satisfaction and showed a smile.
——————
Another sleepless night spent in lotus position.
Early the next morning, Goode took his two children to the First Martial Arts Academy.
Early in the morning, the gate of the Martial Arts Academy was already crowded with people, and the number of people even exceeded that of the Magic Academy. The Magic Academy requires children to have magical sensitivity, but the First Martial Arts Academy does not, and this is the only martial arts academy in the principality! For children who are sure they want to practice martial arts, their elders will send their children directly to the academy to register, but for ordinary families, they need to go to the central square to test their talents to see if they have the potential to practice martial arts.
Therefore, there are only more than 2,000 children entering the martial arts academy every year. Almost all of them come from various large and small families and forces. There are only a few children born in ordinary families, but every one of them is extremely talented. After being tested by the instructor at the square test bench, those who are determined to be extremely talented will be admitted to the academy.
In Yiran's past world, the Martial Arts Academy was a proper aristocratic academy.
After waiting for a long time, the admission procedures were finally completed, and Yiran was finally considered a member of the college.
The moment he stepped into the academy, Yiran was really astonished, as if he was hallucinating. After seeing the Magic Academy and then coming to the Martial Arts Academy, the entire Martial Arts Academy is simply weird.
From the moment you step into the academy, all you see are martial arts arenas. More than half of the martial arts arenas have children dueling with each other. The outside of the academy is even more lively inside.
The view inside the college is very broad. The dining rooms of the school in the distance are all common attics. The only feature is that they are large.
There are no seniors here to greet the new students, perhaps because there are more freshmen, or perhaps because time needs to be spent more on training and competitions.
When Yiran stepped into the martial arts academy, Gude did not follow him, and Yudie who followed Gude did not move either.
"Yiran, let's send you here. We won't go in if we meet and part ways. You and Yudie will be able to meet each other from time to time in the future. I have stayed in the Wind and Fire Principality for too long. If I can still break through in this life, then I will come back to see you. If there is no hope, I will definitely die in the city closest to the Warcraft Forest in the Huangwu Empire."
Yiran silently listened to what Old Man Gude said without saying a word, and walked forward alone without stopping or looking back. Yiran was smiling, but with tears in his eyes. Immediately, his senses spread out, and he watched Goode slowly turn around and leave with Yudie, sad but determined.
Yudie lowered her head silently, tears soaking her eyes without falling down. The moment of farewell finally arrived.
There is one way to come and three ways to return, everyone has his own destination!
After sending Yudie to the First Magic Academy, Goode finally embarked on his own journey. Good, who was wearing simple clothes without a robe, quietly walked out of Fenghuo City without causing any disturbance.
Little did he know that there was an old friend on the city wall behind him, and behind him stood the current leader of the country, Tang Yu.
I saw the old man holding the wine cup high in his hand, filling it with wine and taking a sip, then he couldn't help but cough. He dipped his index finger into the wine and flicked it, then poured the whole bowl of strong liquor over the city wall.
Once the old man says goodbye, it may be difficult to see him again, but saying goodbye will only leave sadness.
It's just that one person leaves without saying goodbye, but one person cannot leave without saying goodbye.
