Outside the Screaming Tower, a group of students were gathering in front of the gate, waiting for the results of the promotion ceremony.
From time to time, people would happily walk out of the tower and be greeted by envious and jealous eyes. However, there were also many people who failed, and they had to step aside sadly.
Darren and others watched Lydia walk into the tower, waiting anxiously. Then within two minutes, they saw the door of the tower open again.
So fast?
Darren was beating a drum in his heart. The students who had been successfully promoted before had made it very clear that it takes time to transform the body with magic potions. Some are fast or some are slow. Generally speaking, it takes about ten minutes...
Could it be that the promotion failed?
He was thinking about it, but the next moment Darren rejected this guess, because Lydia walked out of the tower with a shining wizard medal hanging on her chest, which looked extremely dazzling under the sunlight.
Everyone's eyes were drawn to it. This meant that Iyeta, no, it should be said that the entire wizarding land was about to have its first halfling wizard!
"Congratulations, Lydia, you are setting a precedent for halflings!" Jonny congratulated happily.
Alok and others who were familiar with the girl also came forward to congratulate her and were sincerely happy for her.
Lydia puffed up her chest proudly under the gaze of everyone. From today on, she was an official wizard.
"I didn't expect that the dean would actually allow a person without magic to become a wizard!" Debra said rather jealously.
Those apprentices who had taken the potion but failed to complete their promotion looked at the halfling girl with a bit more dissatisfaction.
Like Lydia, they had passed both the competition and practical examinations. However, the dean did not grant them the identity of a wizard, but gave this honor to a halfling who could not even use magic. This made them unable to help themselves. In his heart, he complained about Dean Lin En's partiality.
"Who said I can't use magic?" Lydia stretched out her hand proudly, and prepared to use the fireball technique calmly, preparing to open everyone's eyes.
The apprentices and wizards present looked over curiously, but they knew that Lydia failed to learn magic after spending two full years at Iyeta Academy.
Lydia concentrated on communicating with the magic field and tried to activate the spell slot in her mind, but there was no movement after struggling for a long time.
"Hey, why can't it be used?" Lidya opened her eyes and spoke blankly.
"Could it be that you went crazy trying to use magic, so you had hallucinations?" Debra said with a sneer.
Lydia curled her lips, and then suddenly remembered that the dean had said that with her calculation power, she could only use one-ring magic three times a day. She was so excited in the Tower of Screams just now that she seemed to have used up all the magic. !
Then the only option was to exchange for the zero-ring magic... She remembered that that one had not been used up yet.
With a thought in her mind, Lydia immediately activated [Mage's Hand]. The test papers held in everyone's hands trembled violently, then flew up, circled around her, and then stacked on top of each other. in hand.
"This, this is [Mage's Hand]."
Debra's eyes widened with a look of astonishment on her face. It took her a while to make sure that no one else was teasing her.
The person who cast the spell was clearly Lydia!
"You have really learned magic, Lydia!" Darren's excited hands pressed back and forth on Lydia's shoulders.
Although this is just the most basic zero-ring spell, it also means that the other party has mastered the miracle called magic!
"Of course! I can also use [Fireball] and [Ice Blade], but I just used them several times, and now I have to wait until tomorrow to use them again..." Lydia said proudly, but at the same time she felt a little annoyed in her heart. If she had known earlier, she would have reserved a first-level spell slot and used it for everyone to take a good look at.
However, since Lydia successfully cast magic, no one questioned her words. After all, everyone's magic and mental power are limited. Even formal wizards may face difficulties after casting several powerful spells. The dilemma of running out of magic power.
In other words, the halfling girl in front of me has really become a wizard!
But how did the dean do it?
Halflings have no magical talent, but the consensus in this land of wizards has never been broken before. Is it possible that Lydia is a special case, breaking the shackles of race and gaining the ability to cast spells after taking the source of magic?
Maybe the dean was willing to let Lydia enter Iyetta Academy because he saw her talent as a wizard...
Alok and others were thinking in confusion, but they did not think in a more extreme direction. After all, if the dean could really make anyone become an official wizard, it would be amazing. He is more talented in magic than halflings. The guess is hundreds of times more outrageous!
…
Iyetta's graduation exam lasted four full days before it ended. Alok and others who bid farewell to their apprenticeships were quickly assigned to various institutions.
However, people are now needed in all aspects, especially wizards who have mastered a certain degree of physics. From the optimization of internal combustion engines, the production of armored ships, to the improvement of muskets and artillery, the forty-seven wizards who graduated this time can only be said to be a drop in the bucket.
In the past few days, Redel and Ham have not been idle, learning about all aspects of this wizard city, and even went to various workshops to experience it in person.
These jobs are indeed tiring, working fourteen hours a day, but the monthly remuneration is enough to make everyone forget the physical pain. Everyone cherishes their current life very much, working hard day and night, almost Not even a supervisor is needed.
Because the wizards who supervise here told them that most of the things produced in the workshop are prepared for the war and will determine the success or failure of the war to a large extent.
And once the Parliament is defeated and the Empire takes over, they will go back to their old life of not knowing what to eat, and it may even be worse.
I heard that the nobles and churches outside the wizarding land are very cruel. They will not hesitate to massacre the entire city, steal their property, kill everyone who does not believe in God, or sell them as slaves to the wilderness. go.
Therefore, the workers spontaneously worked overtime and burst out with great enthusiasm, in order to keep their current life...
After staying in the workshop for five days, Redel reluctantly went to the grain-producing land opened by the wizards at Linn's invitation, because today was the time for the summer harvest!
What lay before Redel's eyes was a particularly spectacular scene. The golden wheat fields stretched as far as the eye could see, stretching to the horizon, as vast as a golden ocean.
