As time passed, the day finally arrived when Linley, Leo, and the others would go to Fenlai City.
Hogg's body was as straight as a javelin, staring straight at Linley and Leo."Linley, Leo, our Wushan township is quite close to the capital, only ninety kilometers away. You should be able to reach the capital before nightfall. Remember, don't cause trouble in the capital. There are too many high officials and nobles in the capital.”
"Yes, Father." Linley said respectfully.
"I know!" Compared to Linley's respect, Leo was much more casual.
"Hillman, I'll leave Linley and Leo to you.”Hogg looked at Hillman.
"Lord Hogg, don't worry," Hillman said with a smile.”
"Alright, you guys can set off." Hogg laughed.
Along the way, Leo could clearly sense that the Godeater Rat was constantly chasing after Linley. Just as he was about to leave Wushan township, the little rat suddenly jumped out and hugged Linley's leg, staring pitifully at Linley.
"Eh? Little Shadowmouse, why are you here?”Linley was rather surprised.
The nearby Hillman turned to look, and upon seeing the little Shadowmouse, he immediately cried out in alarm,"Magical beast, could it be a Stoneater Rat?"
"Linley, be careful." Hillman immediately sent out a flying kick. But the little Shadowmouse was even faster. In an instant, it had leapt onto Linley's shoulder.
"Uncle Hillman, please stop." Leo laughed." It's the animal that Big Brother feeds in the backyard!”
"Leo, you're saying that Linley raises magical beasts?"”
"Uncle Hillman, wait a moment. Let me persuade the little Shadowmouse to return.”With a flip of his hand, Linley picked up the little Shadowmouse and said to him,"Little Shadowmouse, I'm leaving with Uncle Hillman to go to the capital. You can't go to the capital, understand?"”
Linley placed the little Shadowmouse on the ground, then waved his hand."You can go back." Then, he pointed at his own path." I want to go this way to the capital.”As he spoke, he waved his hand, and Linley continued to advance.
"Squeak, squeak squeak…" The little Shadowmouse stood there, staring at Linley.
"Uncle Hillman, Leo, let's go. Heh heh, the little Shadowmouse is very smart.”Linley said to Hillman and Leo.
"Squeak squeak!" The little Shadowmouse suddenly let out a loud squeak, transforming into a black blur that shot twenty to thirty meters away.
"Swoosh!" Without giving Hillman any time to block, the illusory figure drifted towards Linley's leg and bit down on it.
"Ah!" A wave of intense pain caused Linley to suddenly jump up.
"Linley, are you alright?" Hillman said.
"I'm fine." Linley laughed.
Suddenly-
A dense black light enveloped the little Shadowmouse, and a trickle of blood flew out from the corner of his mouth. This trickle of blood was Linley's blood, as well as the little Shadowmouse's own blood. The drop of blood formed a black triangle. At the same time, a dense black light fused into it, forming a strange magic formation. The magic formation emitted a dense dark aura.
Leo had been watching all of this."In the end, the Godeater Rats still ended up in Linley's hands. Up until now, everything has been consistent with the original novel. But where is my path?" Suddenly, Leo remembered what he had done recently.
"It seems that I've gone a little overboard during this period of time. True experts are all self-trained. Linley is just my insurance. After entering the academy, I must part ways with Linley. He has his own path, and it's time for me to pursue my own path!”Leo made up his mind.
After an afternoon of traveling, the three of them finally arrived at Fenlai City in the evening.
Fenlai City was the capital of the Kingdom of Fenlai. Because the headquarters of the Radiant Church was located in the western part of Fenlai City, Fenlai City was also the Holy Capital of the Holy Alliance.
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.
Walking on the Fragrant Pavilion Avenue of Fenlai City, Linley couldn't help but look around. Leo, on the other hand, had a lifetime of experience, so he didn't care about these things.
Next to the inn was a small restaurant. Linley, Leo, and Hillman were having dinner there.
The inn had a total of three floors. Linley's group lived on the second floor, and through the window, they could see that the streets outside were still filled with people.
The next morning, on the 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.
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, Leo, and Hillman had arrived at this moment. Because it was still early, there were two armored warriors standing at the entrance of the cathedral, preventing 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.”
The black-robed priest smiled and said,""The test will be held in the center. Those who want to take the test, come one by one. Others are not allowed to enter the magic array in the center. Those who want to take the test, please line up.”
"Linley, Leo, this is the cost of the test. This is your identification. Right, Linley, your little Shadowmouse will stay with me for now. During the test, it will be quite troublesome for the little Shadowmouse to stay by your side.”Hillman said.
After handing the Godeater Rats to Hillman, Linley took the ten gold coins, then went to line up with Leo. The youths were about seventeen or eighteen years old, and the younger ones were only six or seven years old. These children lined up in two long lines, and the priests of the Holy See also collected the test fees.
The magic array in the center was ten meters in diameter. There were three adults inside. Two of them 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."
The bald old man pointed at the crystal ball and said,"First, place your hand on the crystal ball and test your elemental affinity.”
The first place belonged to a twelve or thirteen year old youth. He nervously placed his right hand on the crystal ball. Immediately, the crystal ball began to emit a faint red light, with a hint of green mixed in occasionally.
The bald old man looked at the paper in his hand and said coldly,"Age: 12 years old, elemental affinity: medium fire, low wind.”
"Now, enter the magic array and test your spiritual power. Remember, stand up straight, don't kneel or fall down, and hold on for as long as possible.”The bald old man's voice was still cold. The young man nodded and stepped into the hexagonal magic array. The bald elder's body suddenly emitted a holy white light, which fused into the magic array.
Light Element Spell--Intimidation!
In just a short while, the youth in the magic array could not hold on any longer and fell to the ground.
"Your spiritual power is about twice that of your peers. There is no possibility of becoming a mage." The bald old man announced coldly. The magic array stopped operating, and the youth walked out dejectedly.
"Next!"
…………………
Finally, it was Linley's turn.
Linley placed his hand on the crystal ball. Like the sun, the entire crystal ball suddenly became dazzling. The earthen yellow and green light intertwined, and there was even an occasional tiny trace of fiery red mixed within. The blinding light even caused the eyes of those who approached to squint.
"Age: 8 years old, elemental affinity, earth and wind attributes, superior! The fire element is intermediate." The bald old man announced excitedly," Please enter the magic array.”
Very quickly, the magic array once again began to glow with a bright light. As the light rose, Linley began to feel like he couldn't hold on any longer…and then, when the pressure reached a certain level, Linley couldn't hold on any longer. He suddenly knelt down on one knee, his hands propping up against the ground.
The bald old man's face was red as he said in a clear voice,"Spiritual power, twenty times that of your peers. High Spiritual Power, Superior Elemental Affinity.”Because of his competition with Leo, Linley was slightly stronger than in the original novel.
As soon as the results were out, many magic academy recruitment staff immediately surrounded them.
"Cough, everyone, go to your seats first. We still have to continue the test.”The bald old man said gently," Next!”
Leo walked out of the group and placed his hand on the crystal ball.
Immediately, the entire crystal ball lit up like the sun again. Earthen yellow, green, blue, purple, and black light illuminated the entire cathedral.
"Eight years old, elemental affinity, earth, wind, water, lightning, darkness, super grade!”The bald old man's heart suddenly stopped. It should be known that the elemental affinity of most mages was average, and it was very rare for them to have high elemental affinity. As for the Super Grade…Not to mention that he had just tested the Earth and Wind Elements, and now there was another Super Grade with five elements…
As soon as the results came out, Linley, who had just promised the Ernst Institute, opened his mouth wide."Leo…he's actually an earth, wind, water, lightning, and darkness super class…His talent is much, much stronger than mine.”
"Yes, I am!" Doehring Cowart sighed as well." I've never seen such magic talent before…"
"Please enter the magic array." The bald old man waved his hand.
Leo stepped into the magic array.
The magic array's warm white light lit up, and then a pressure directly acted on his soul. Light-type spell, Intimidation.
"This is too weak. There's no reaction at all!”Leo thought…With Leo's soul, if he wanted to use this method to suppress him, he would need at least a god to make a move.
As time passed, the magic array grew brighter and brighter, and its deterrence grew stronger and stronger. Everyone in the church hall was dumbfounded.
"Eh!" Leo scanned the hall with his spiritual power and was shocked." Oh no, I'm overreacting..."
Soon, Leo's body swayed, and then he fell down, using his hands to support his body…
Seeing Leo's results, the bald old man said with a trembling voice,""Spiritual power, 341 times that of your peers. Superior Spiritual Power, Superior Elemental Affinity.”
After leaving the magic circle, Leo returned to Hillman's side. At this moment, the Ernst Institute's student recruitment staff, who hadn't left yet, once again extended an olive branch to Leo.
"That's great, Leo! We've both entered the Ernst Institute, so we can be together again!”Linley, seeing that his younger brother had also been invited by the Ernst Institute, immediately said happily.
"Yes!" Leo nodded." I think Father will be very happy!”
"Hey! Did you hear that? " These two are actually brothers…" A noble whispered to the side." It seems that another family is about to rise. There are actually two such geniuses!"”
