To the west of the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, the Yulan continent was divided into the Holy Union and the Dark Alliance. The leading Kingdom of the Holy Union was the Kingdom of Fenlai!
Fenlai City was the capital of the Kingdom of Fenlai.
At the same time, it was also the Holy Capital of the Holy Alliance, because the headquarters of the Radiant Church was located in the western part of Fenlai City.
The entire city of Fenlai was divided into two parts, the east and the west. The eastern part of the city was managed by the Kingdom of Fenlai, while the western part was managed by the Radiant Church. It was precisely because Fenlai City was both the capital and the sacred capital that the prosperity of Fenlai City was second to none in the entire Yulan continent.
Fenlai City occupied an extremely vast area, and it could accommodate more than a million residents. In the entire Yulan continent, it was one of the top five great cities.
In the evening, Linley and Hillman entered Fenlai City.
As he walked along the eastern main street of Fenlai City, the Fragrant Pavilion Avenue, Linley felt as if his eyes were playing tricks on him. The ancient-looking buildings on the city walls were different from the modern city walls. Instead, they gave off a sense of grandeur.
When he had read the original novel, Linley's impression of Fenlai City's Fragrant Pavilion Avenue had been extremely deep. Now that he was standing there, he felt as if meeting him was more important than hearing about him.
As for Bebe, who was hiding in Linley's clothes, he secretly peeked out as well. Bebe, like Linley, was entering the city for the first time, so he couldn't help but feel a bit like a country bumpkin.
"Linley, how is Fenlai City? Fenlai City is the largest city in the Holy Union.”Hillman and Linley were walking on the streets. Seeing some warriors passing by, and occasionally one or two magi, he sighed."Linley, in Fenlai City, powerful warriors and magi are very common."
"According to the book, Fenlai City is the political, economic, and artistic center of the Holy Union.”
"This is a paradise for the rich and powerful.”Hillman nodded and sighed.
On the bustling Fragrant Pavilion Avenue, there would often be luxurious carriages passing by. Hillman brought Linley along the main road of Fenlai City, the Fragrant Pavilion Avenue, and after taking a stroll around it, they found an ordinary inn to stay in.
Next to the inn was a small restaurant. Linley and Hillman were having dinner there.
That night, in the hotel.
Linley and Hillman shared a room, which had two beds. As soon as they entered the room, the little Shadowmouse, Bebe, jumped out from Linley's clothes, immediately circling around Linley and barking.
"I know you're hungry. Eat." Linley threw the roasted duck he had brought back from the restaurant onto the ground, and Bebe immediately began to excitedly chew on it.
"Linley, rest early. Tomorrow morning, we still have to go for the magus test.”Hillman instructed.
"Got it, Uncle Hillman." Linley nodded, then sat down cross-legged on his bed, beginning to train his spiritual energy.
The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone through the curtains into the room, Linley finally opened his eyes. At the same time, Doehring Cowart flew out from the Coiling Dragon ring. Staring at Linley, he praised,"Linley, I truly didn't expect that you would be able to become a magus of the third rank before the magus talent test. It seems that in the future, you will become more than just a Saint-level Magus!”
Doehring Cowart sighed emotionally. In the past, he had been quite talented, or else he wouldn't have been able to train to the Saint-level. But now, when comparing himself to Linley, he realized that compared to Linley, he wasn't even comparable to an ordinary person. When he was his age, he had only just become a magus of the first rank.
Hearing this, Linley felt rather proud. In the book, Linley was only a magus of the first rank, while he himself was already a magus of the third rank. However, as a mature person, he naturally wouldn't show any smugness on his face. Instead, he said humbly,"Grandpa Doehring, this is all thanks to your excellent guidance.”
Greenleaf Road in the eastern part of Fenlai City. Greenleaf Road was one of the main roads in Fenlai City. The buildings on both sides of Greenleaf Road were mostly luxurious mansions, and there were also some buildings belonging to the kingdom. The tallest building was the church of the Radiant Church.
The Holy Union had six kingdoms and fifteen duchies. The Radiant Church controlled the entire Holy Union.
The Light Pope had the highest status, and he had the power to dismiss the king of a kingdom! Thus, even in the eastern part of Fenlai City, the tallest building was the Radiant Church.
This morning, many people had gathered at the entrance of the church of the Holy Church. Most of them were nobles dressed in noble clothes. The carriages had almost filled the empty square in front of the church. The nobles were chatting with each other.
Linley and Hillman arrived as well.
Seeing this sea of people, even Linley, who had expected this, was rather surprised. He hadn't expected that this world would be so passionate about magic, but at the same time, he knew that of all the children waiting to be tested, it would be quite good if even a tenth of them could become magi.
At this moment, there were two warriors in battle armor at the entrance of the church, blocking outsiders from entering.
After a while, a priest in a black robe slowly walked out and stopped at the door of the church. He smiled and said in a clear voice,"The magic test will begin now. The recruitment of the various major magic academies is also ready. Those who wish to undergo the magic test, please follow me into the hall.”
Under the guidance of the priest, everyone in the square entered the hall of the church in an orderly manner.
In the church hall.
It was a huge hall, the floor was made of bright marble, and there were huge crystal lights hanging from the ceiling. Hundreds of people entered the hall without feeling crowded at all.
At the very front of the hall, there was a row of chairs. On the chairs sat the recruitment staff of the various academies. In the center was the testing location.
The black-robed priest smiled and said,""The test will be held in the center. Those who are participating in the test will come one by one. The others are not allowed to enter the circle in the center. Those who are preparing to participate in the test, please line up.”
"Linley, this is the cost of the test. This is your proof of identity. Quickly go. Right, that little Shadowmouse will stay with me for now. It'll be quite troublesome if the little Shadowmouse stays by your side during the test.”Hillman said.
"Bebe, you stay here with Uncle Hillman for now. I'm going to go and take the test.”Linley mentally communicated with Bebe, and Bebe, somewhat unwillingly, moved about in Linley's embrace. But at Linley's request, the little Shadowmouse immediately burrowed into Hillman's clothes.
Linley then took the ten gold coins, then went to line up. He saw that all of the youths were around seventeen or eighteen years old, while the younger ones were only six or seven years old. The children lined up in two long lines, and the priests of the Holy See also collected the test fee.
The center circle was ten meters in diameter, and there were three adults inside. Two were responsible for testing, and one was responsible for recording. The testing tools were a crystal ball and a hexagonal complex magic array.
"The first one."
